They wouldn’t necessarily win, but they’d play well in one meet, then would have a bad day the next.

The only person on the Cougar squad who is expected to do very well in the cham pionship tournaments is Dai Hixson, who is defending Region 18 champion. Other schools in the con ference with the College iri elude the following community colleges: Mt. Hood, Linn- Benton and Chemeketa. 01 the three, Hudson feels the on ly one on the same level as the Cougars is Chemeketa; thus a third or fourth place finish for the College is expected. “The only chance we have of winning is if the other teams have a bad day, and we have a good day,” Hudson stated. As far as the College team making improvements this season, Hudson said, “Im provement has been like a pogo stick, up and down.” After the conference tourna ment is concluded, the golfers will be sharpening up their skills few the Region 18 Champion ships to be held next Sunday through Tuesday.
