Though the colleges have not furnished
10 many stars in golf as they have in
tsnns. many well-known golfers have
made their debut in the limelight while

next year will be several collegians whose
Eotk on the links has already begun to

lhete are holes to be won.
Among the freshmen will be Reginald
M Lewis, sensational youngster who

junior championship at Garden City re-
cntly. Another member OF the team will
