A&M Golfers will tee off against the strong Hardin-Simmons link- sters on the college course here tomorrow afternoon in their first match of the year. The addition of the Cowboys in a home-and-home match basis com pletes the Aggie golf calendar, giv ing coach Joe Eagan’s foursome a total of 11 dual matches plus the conference tournament in Dallas. Fagan is counting heavily on three' returning lettermen—Bill Baker, Johnny Barrett and J. C. Fletcher—to carry the main play ing load this year. Newcomer Malcolm Douglas will probably captm-e the number four spots to complete the Aggie four some. Last year the Cadets finished fourth in the conference and should improve that position by at least one notch and possibly more this season. . All Aggie matcher this reason will be played on the 6,715-yard par 71 course on the campus. Included on the Aggies sche dule are teams from Houston Uni versity, Rice, TCU, SMU, North Texas State, Arkansas, Baylor, Texas.
