Sports Redoubtable Linksters Sweeping past 20 of the 22 teams at the St. Thomas Intercollegiate Invitational, the PAU linksters moved on to capture the title at the Trinity Intercollegiate and the Jimmy Demaret Collegiate Gold Classic. El Rancho Viejo Country Club was the scene of the Jimmy Demaret. Some compare Ran- cho Viejo to the most formidable course in Texas-the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. PAU's No. 2 team at the Demaret surged with a fine 316 score to win the collegiate divi- sion by eight strokes over the University of New Mexico. Leading the Broncs to victory was Jerry Smith, whose incredi- ble final round stunned his com- petitors. Smith carded a final round of 73 at the 'AEI Diablof, the most demanding of Rancho Viejols twin courses. At that event during the Spring of '74, PAU battled the top col- legiate teams in North America. The Pan Am International Inter- collegiate is one of this conti- nent's most glamorous tourna- ments, played in the mountain- valley set Club Campestre, Mon- terrey, Mexico. In their continued effort to help pan the Americas through golf competition, the Broncs already have scheduled their third annual International Intercolle- giate Golf Tournament for Spring 75. a. The Broncs' 1974-75 roster included: Coach Oton CTonyJ Guerrero, Jesse Lucio, Allen J ones, Jerry Smith, Jose Martinez, Bruce Martins. b. A freshman, Jose Martinez has already joined the Broncs on their many road events. 1.- TV V1.1 QQ . if S X Qs- 1 il I 5 ml'-fl. 5 .. I - I U. A W Li-fa, 'iw I I X L ' nfl' '. 'i'Iw'Q12,' il-li?- gg-.
