Hogan's Return
Top Comeback
NEW YORK—(A*)—Bantam Ben
Hogan’s phenomenal, movie-script
rally from a near-fatal accident to
regain his old golfing heights was
rated today the greatest comeback
in sports for 1950.
Sports writers and broadcasters,
participating in the year-end As
sociated Press poll, had little trou
ble making up their minds in that
category, giving an overwhelming
vote to the plucky little shotmaster
from Texas.
Critically Injured
On Feb. 2, 1949, Hogan was criti
cally injured in an automobile acci
dent while returning home from a
tournament in Phoenix, Ariz. For
weeks his condition remained seri
ous.
There was doubt that the sinewy
veteran who the year before had
scored professional golf’s U. S.
slam—the PGA, Open and Western
—would ever walk, much less play,
again.
But by mid-summer of 1949 Ho
gan was hobbling around on crutch
es.
There was a flurry of excitement
when it was announced Hogan
would attempt his comeback to
competitive golf in the rich Los An
geles Open Jan. 6. Could Hogan do
it? He replied quickly.
Ties Snead
Walking stiffly on legs held to
gether by bailing wire, Hogan
amazed the golf world by finishing
in a tie with Sam Snead for first
place, shooting a remarkable 280.
It was immaterial that Ben later
lost to his old rival in a playoff.
Hogan won the Greenbrier Open
in May with a record-tying 21-un
der-par 259 and then climaxed his
spectacular comeback by winning
the National Open at Philadelphia
in June.
Hogan received 112 first place
votes from those who cast ballots
and piled up 393 points on the ba
sis of three for a first place vote,
two for second, etc.
Wuitkus Second
Second place went to another
whose career was almost cut short
by tragedy Eddie Waitkus, first
baseman of the Philadelphia Phil
lies.
He came back last year to play
154 games for the Phillies, help
them to the National League pen
nant and play in the World Series.
He batted .284.
IM Games
One-Sided
By Bill Gurney
Intramural basketball swung in
to high gear yesterday as six more
“A” league contests went into the
record book.
Chi Psi won from Delta Upsilon
15-11, the Betas topped Hunter Hall
by a 23-15 margin, Stitzer Hall lost
26-16 to Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi
Psi outdistanced Philadelphia
House 18-4, Sigma Alpha Mu edged
Sigma Nu, 17-12, and Gamma Hall
lost 49-22 to Phi Delta Theta.
The Chi Psi-DU tilt, was a rather
low scoring game, but well played.
Using a fast break coupled with a
zone defense, the tall Chi Psis led
10-8 at the half and never relin
quished that lead, winning 15-11.
Top scorers were Chi Psi Guard
Hurley with six, and DU Forward
Pope with five.
Betas Win
The Betas started slowly against
Hunter Hall, trailing 9-6 at half
time. Led by Harlan Mickey, with
thirteen points for the game, and
Dick Chapman with six, the Betas
smashed their way to a 23-15 win.
Top pointmaker for Hunter was
Jack Krieger with six points.
Lambda Chi, by virtue of a tor
rid third quarter, came through
with a 26-16 victory over Stitzer
Hall. The tall Stitzer team led, 11
5 at the half. Evanson, Stitzer for
ward, led all scorers with eight, fol
lowed by Gordon Green and John
Doolittle W’ith six apiece for Lamb
da Chi.
Philadelphia House trailed 7-2 at
halftime and failed to narrow the
gap. Showing the way for the Phi
Psis was Ted Cooley with seven,
while Jim Hunt and Les Howall
were the whole story for the Co-op
boys with two apiece.
Sammie Surprise
Somewhat of a surprise was the
17-12 Sammie victory over Sigma
Nu. At the end of the first quar
ter the hot-shooting Sammies led
8-1 and 12-3 at the halfway mark.
Sigma Nu surged upward in the
fourth canto and had the count
narrowed to 12-15, but the Sammies
were able to protect their lead. Les
Hajgen led Sigma Nil with fice
counters, while Cohen had six and
Ginsberg seven for Sigma Alpha
Mu.
Phi Delt height and experience
weie just too much for a battling
Gamma Hall quintet. Wayne John
son with 17 and Daryl Nelson with
14 topped Phi Delta Theta scoring.
