Golfers Top Cornell,
5-2 for 6th Victory
The Penn State linksmen rebounded from their defeat
by Navy with a thrilling 5-2 victory over a surprising Cornell
club, Saturday on the home greens.
Two Lions, Johnny Boyanowski and John Felus, had to go
extra holes before eking out key wins. Boyanowski, for the
second time this season, went 23 holes in edging the Big Red’s
Harry Halas, 1-up. He shot a 70.'
Felus recovered from a three
hole deficit on the front nine to
seize victory from the grasp of
ICornell’s Art Hemker in 19 holes.
The little Lion copped team scor
ing honors with a 69-stroke total.
Hemker, in defeat, fired a one un

laurels
Lion Captain John Branish
fired a 70 to snap his three

decision over John Tomlin of
Cornell. Teammate Bill David
son suffered a reverse fate,
dropping his first match of the
year. Davidson bowed to Joe
Germonde of the Big Red. 5 and

Penn State’s Pat Rielly notched
his first win in the last three
outings, firing a 3 and 2 triumph
over Cornell’s Lynn Alexander.
'Rielly shot a 70.
Bob Bainbridge registered the
[Lions’ most decisive victory of
the match, a 7 and 6 tally against
Steve Klein of the Big Red.
Karl Foster of Cornell emerged
victorious against Lion Leo Kuk
kola with a 3 and 2 decision.
"I was just darn glad we
won," Penn Slate coach Joe.
Boyle said in summing up the
match. "At the end of 15 holes
it looked like tilings were
swinging their way. They had a
real good team."
Boyle indicated Felus’ victory
was the turning point of the
match. With Boyanowski’s 23-
holer still going, Felus had to
beat Hemker to cinch the match.
Hemker burnt up the course on
the front nine, shooting a three
under par 31. But the gritty Felus
evened the match with a birdie
two on the sixteenth. The Lion
linksman had to sink a 12-foot
putt to tie on the 18th, then put
ted a 10-footer to win on the
next green.
