WJ The 1950 golf team should prove to be Kazoo's best since the war, with six let- termen back from last year. Last spring the golfers won three matches, tied one and lost five, finishing fourth in the MIAA. This year's schedule calls for matches with Calvin and Olivet in addition to the MIAA opponents. Each match with a league school counts toward the confer- ence title. The MIAA golf tourney was held in Kalamazoo May 18 and 19. Personnel of the team includes lettermen Don Hassberger, Robert Taylor, Rex Holloway, John Gospill, James Corfield, and Howard Southworth. Others are Rob- ert Gibson, Glen Bourgeois, John Bungert, Richard McCIaren, Vernon Bolling, Ray- mond Nahikian, James Nawrot, and Wesley Schultz. In their first six matches this spring, the golfers defeated AIma's defending MIAA champs, 10'!z-8'!z, and Adrian, 18-1, tied Olivet 9Vz-9Vz, and Calvin 7Vz-7Vzp and lost to Hope 8-11, and Hillsdale 7-12. Left row, top to bottom: James Corfield, Robert Taylor, John Bungert, Don Hassberger, John Gospill, Vernon Bolling, Robert Gibson.

'71-zfuuii Kazoo's tennis team, defending MIAA and Central Collegiate champion, faced a tough 23-match schedule this spring, with the only real trouble expected on the annual Southern trip and the Central Collegiate tourney. The Hornets will be favored to cop their 'I3th consecutive MIAA title in the conference tournament at Kalamazoo. Heading Coach Allen B. Stowe's team for the fourth year is Jack Sunderland, sixth-ranked player in the Western Lawn Tennis Association, and MIAA and Central Collegiate singles champion. Missing from this year's team, however, are two of last spring's top netters. Art Leighton turned professional during the summer, and Vic Braden was lost for the season because of illness. Sunderland, Marvin Mantin, Dick Cain, Tom Willson, Gordon Dolbee, Bradley Allen and Frank Walters comprised the squad's top seven netters. In all, fifteen men made up the Hornet varsity. Down South, the team made its worst showing since 1947, winning three of seven matches with some of the best teams in the South. The Hornets downed Cincinnati, Vanderbilt and Presbyterian, while Davidson, Tennessee, Duke and North Carolina all took the measure of Kazoo. Returning home, the netters ran roughshod over all comers. In one weekend, Stowe divided the squad, with one group shutting out the University of Iowa and Grinnell on the road, while another defeated Alma at home. 1950 TENNIS RECORD Cincinnati . . . 6-3 Grinnell .... 7-0 .
