Golf The golf team finished with a fine record of 14 wins and 2 losses but fell short of goals to win city and sectional championships. The team lost city champ Dennis Merriman but have 5 let- termen back and several promising un- derclassmen. I ' d say we ' ll go unde- feated and take city and sectional, ' Doug Peters was quoted as saying. Doug was asked about the reaction to girls on the team. I think they would be accepted, provided they made the team under the same circumstances as the others. There ' s plenty of good fe- male golfers. . j « ia S i '
