Seneca Linksmen These two words, Seneca and golf, have become synonymous throughout the lstatesin recent years. The Redskin linksmen, under the direction of Coach Don Porter, clubbed their way to a brilliant record of six victories and one defeat in regular season matches. Their tournament record also proved outstanding with the fearsome foursome of Jim Walker, Phil Armbruster, Gary Conklin, and Bill Etscorn achieving third place in the Louisville Invitation Golf Tourney, capturing the Regional crown by topping such powerhouses as St. Xavier and Waggener, and completely overwhelming Valley 305-327 for the County Championship. The season was highlighted by a fine fourth place finish in the Kentucky state finals. In commenting on team members, Coach Porter acknowledges senior, ,lim Walker, who received a golf scholarship to the University of Florida, as the most consistent man on the team. Jim was the group's medalist with the fewest number of strokes per round and compiled team lows in the L.l.T., Regional, and State tournaments. The most improved player surely has to be Junior, Bill Etscorn, who played very consistent golf during the season and finished low for the team in the Regional tournament with a par 72 for 18 holes. Senior, Phil Armbruster, whose powerful drive has been compared to that of Jack Nicklaus, also received a golf scholarship from the University of Florida. Senior, Gary Conklin, always a great competitor, who finished one stroke behind .lim Walker in the State tourney rounds out this magnificent foursome which not only has boosted the popularity of the sport but made the golf squad one of the finest and most celebrated of Seneca's 1966 championship sports teams. Coach Porter examines clubs in the pro shop. Bill Etscorn concentrates on his second shot to the green.

Neil Training, endurance, determination, and that extra spark of energy, that a runner must be able to muster up to cross the finish line as the winner, are the essential elements in Cross Country competition. Seneca's harriers upheld the school's tra- dition by having a winning season as Mr. Arnetteis fourth year as coach proved as satisfactory as his former three had been. Even though six members of last year's squad graduated, the six seniors supported by an able group of underclassmen made a solid showing. Injuries plagued the team for much of the season, but we won when the team was out in force. Leading the team this year were senior Ken Farah and sophomores Mike Hess and Mike Board. Next year's team looks bright because our county champion J. V. team will move up to the varsity. Congratulations to Coach .lim Arnette and the Redskin Harriers.
