Golf Team Closes Season On Sunday Getting a touch of the “win fev er” that seems to be spreading among our athletic teams, the golf ers came through with clean-cut victories in their last two matches. To stretch the streak to three straight would require a decision over the strong Enka team Sunday in a match to be played at the Brevard Country Club. This is the closing match of the year. The two wins gave the team a 50-50 record for the month as they dropped matches to Sayles and Beacon. The wins came over Postal Accounts by a Vk-A'^h. score and over Moore V. A. by an to 3',2 count. Pete Wright and George Sexton led the firing for Ecusta in these matches. Wright entered the Biltmore Tournament which has been in progress this week. The members of the eight teams of the league will climax the season with a tournament and a banquet to be held sometime dur ing ths month of August. The dates have not been set as yet. Beacon, by virtue of winning both halves, has been declared champion of the league. Watch the tongue. It’s in a wet place and likely to slip. CAMP SAPPHIRE (Continued From I’aue One) of a profitable period of training. The individual instruction that the band has received has been re flected in the improved perform ances the group has been giving. In Sunday concerts, the band has been playing many new numbers in an excellent manner while the older pieces have been played beautifully, too. Imagination is given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor to console him for what he is. Runners-Up In Departmental League Play Although they had to give up their title to Con trol, the hard hitting Machine Room boys had the satisfaction of being the only team to beat the champs during the season. This team boasted of a good hitting attack and a strong pitching staff.
