Six lettermen back for Austin golf team led by Lembcke
WEBBER AND LEMBCKE ARE THE ONLY SENIORS ON THE golf squad. That means six lettermen are back and the quality of Austin golf won't suffer. Coach Lembcke is looking ahead to another good season next year with Dale Hall, Howie Wennes, Bob Sitz, Ray Appeal, Gary Knowlton and Bruce Hall available to carry most of the load. All the boys expect to play golf this summer, which means they will have that much more experience and ability when a new season rolls around. Lembeke has the knack of getting the most out of his boys and keeps an eye open for future varsity material. More and more younger boys are taking up the sport and his work with those boys will pay off in the future.
