A. golf championship to be held here starting June 16, with between 90 and 120 top college golfers expected to take part. The four day tourney will consist of 72 holes of medal play, with entrants from a majority of the 32 N.A.I. A. districts.

The lettermen included Bob Pfyl, Chuck Kerker- ing, Frank Frawley, Larry Brinkman, Ron Altstadt, and Roger Frankenhoff. The only senior letterman was Frank Frawley. The 1959 season has looked bright, although with the start of the second semester Ron Altstadt and Larry Brinkman were the only two net-men returnees. However, Kent Stickler, an outstanding Quincy High net-man ' has taken up a good deal of the slack for the Hawks. Matches this spring included Western Illinois, Culver-Stockton, Carthage, Washington University, MacMurray, and St. Louis University. View of the courts from Solano Hall, men ' s dormitory. 127
