€ M' A, 1961 THE CHATTERBOX Page 5 Mile Relay Team Takes District First Place Weiner Ties for Honors As Eagles Drop Matches The Woodward Bulldogs, with all four golfers under 80, won the Southwestern Ohio District golf championship at California golf course last Friday. The Eagle strokers finished in fourth place, seven strokes behind second place St. Xavier. The bright spot for the Eagles was the fine performance turned In by captain Dave Welner. Dave, along with three other boys, Ted Beattie, of Mariemont; Dick Brockhoff, of Oak Hills; and John Wagner, of Woodward; finished in a tie for medalist honors with four over par 75'S. Since Dave played in the number two position he was the last to come in and had a chance to win the medal on the last hole by taking a par four. However, much to Dave's dismay, he sliced his drive out of bounds for a two-stroke penalty. But he followed this bad shot with a good drive, a beautiful ll-iron, and a 20-foot putt to throw the tournament Into a four-way deadlock. To decide who would repre- sent Cincinnati at Columbus next week-end, a sudden death play off was held. Beattie won the medalist honors on the first hole and Wagner the run- ner-up honors on the third hole ilarvin's 78, and Rick Schatz's 79. Last year when the Eagles came in third they tallied a total of 303. However, Califor- nia was playing extremely long this year and the scores were much higher than expected. Bill Waxman's 70 took medal- ist honors last year, while there were at least five boys under 75 last year. Earlier in the week Walnut Hills was defeated by Wood- ward for the PHSL golf champ- ionship, 7-5, at Avon Fields. In the triangular meet the Eagles edged Withrow 6V2-5 for a second-place league finish. Wagner and Bond of Wood- ward led the golfers with totals of 74. However.

Eagles Fall to Mustangs, Bounce Back Over Tigers by VIc Benson and Joe Budro Walnut Hills lost its second game to Western Hills last Thursday, 4-3, in extra innings. West High had previously blanked the Eagles, 11-0. Last Thursday's victory over Withrow ended Walnut Hills' losing streak, which had been upped to six when defeated by Western Hills. Eagle pitcher Rick MeAl- lister held the Maroon Mus- tangs to foot hits through eight innings. But a single, a sac- rlflee bunt. and a double en- abled Western llills to score the winning tun in the top of the ninth. The Eagles wasted no time in getting to the Maroon's start- ing pitcher for three runs. Richard Dearwotth and Tee Metcalfe walked. Dave Bath- away singled in Dearworth, and Dick Gordon doubled, scoring fective as Bossy. Jim Lippert led off with a single, and was forced at second by Bobby Brown.

Clem Dinsmore, who seems to be slumping off as the sea- son tapers, lost a disappoint- ing match to Withrow's number one man, Roy Kiessling, 6-0, 3-6, 6-4. In their last match Clem had toppled the pug- nacious sophomore 6-0, 3"6. Senioritis could very definite- ly be the cause of Clem's non- chaiant attitude in this match. Ted Merke], playing number two, had no trouble in van- quishing phil Koerner 6-i, 6-0. Ted allowed his opponent make all the mistakes, as he calmly took game after game. Ted's record now stands 4-5, with on]5' one more match to play, that with West Hi.

Bobby Brown then singled, scoring Hathaway with the Eagles' final run. The Mustangs scored one unearned run in the first on no hits, and two runs, one earned, in the second on one hit. West Iligh's Glen Bossy, who came in to relieve in the first, held Walnut Hills hitless from the first through the eighth innings. After Western Hills scored a run in the @p of the ninth, coach Paul Nohr brought in his star pitcher, turned to pick up the win. The Tigers jumped to quick lead, scoring all three runs in the first two innings, but Tee settled down, and was never in serious trouble again in the game.

Eagles Finish Close Fifth Place by ann Talley In the PHSL championship track meet that had been postponed for 11 days, Walnut Hills placed a close fifth. The finals, which were held last Monday, saw the Taft Senators rack up a record total of 93 points. The Eagles' team was once again led by its two fine sprint men, Stew Haines and Randy Katz. Their speed ac- counted for all but one of the Eagles' 17 points. This point was earned by Dick Lotspeich who took fifth place in the discus throw. In Walnut Hills' strongest event of the afternoon, the 440, Stew and Randy placed first and third respectively. Coast- en had a first, a record in the 220 event, with a 21.8; Stew had a 22 flat.
