Golfers Still Unbeaten;
Deacons Next Opponent

The Virginia golf team posted
its third and fourth wins without
defeat Monday by downing Atlantic
Coast conference foes Maryland,
16-5, and South Carolina
12-9. Maryland edged South Carolina
by 11-10. The Cavaliers are
now 3-0 in conference play.

The golfers picked up their first
two victories in matches last week
in convincing fashion. On April 2
George Washington fell, 15-6, and
last Friday N.C. State was beaten,
17-4.

The Cavaliers did not lose a
match against George Washington
as they racked up their first win.
Low man for the match was Bennie
Greenberg with a 78. Bubba
Victor and Jay Jennison each recorded
a 79, Jim Galvin led George
Washington with an 82.

Although things went well for
Virginia in the GW match, the
triumph over the Wolfpack was
even more impressive. Paul Samanchik,
who was just recovering from
a case of mononucleosis that had
kept him out of the GW match,
shot a fantastic five-under-par 68
to tie the course record at Keswick
Country Club.

His round included six birdies
and one eagle. On the tenth hole,
a 286 yard par four, he sank an
80 yard wedge shot for his eagle.
Three bogies kept his score from
being lower.

Richard Lee of State was second
low man in the match with a 75,
but he lost all three points to
Samanchik. Robert Dunn of Virginia
had a 76.

In the double win Monday Doug
Rodgers, the Cavaliers' number
four player, led the way with a
two-under-par 71. He had four
birdies on the back nine.

The other Virginia golfers with
their rank and Monday's score in
parenthesis were: Paul Samanchik
(No. 1, 75), Bubba Victor (No.
2, 75), Bennie Greenberg (No.
3, 77), Jay Jennison (No. 5, 85),
Don Baker (no. 6, 76), and Bob
Dunn (No. 7, 77).

Wake Forest, the best competition
Virginia will face this year,
the Cavaliers tomorrow
in Winston-Salem. The Deacons
are a perennial power in not
only the ACC, but the country.
They captured this past spring's
Palmetto Tournament over many
fine college teams. Wake Forest
has produced several top players
(Arnold Palmer went there), and
this year's number one player,
Jack Lewis has played in the
Walker Cup.
