Thm OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Oregon. Sunday Morning, March 3L1W3 TAGE SEVEN O 77 77 17. 77 g Hogan By one Stroke Mangruin Also Is up Even With Winner of Last two Tournaments By BILL BONt ASHEVILLE, NC. March 30 Ralph Gnldahl, happier over his golf same than he's been in months, shot into the lead today at the halfway mark of the 15000 "Land- of the Sky" open tourna ment. The two-time US open champion combined his own fine 70 with alight ware ring on the part of the first-round, leaders to gain a one-stroke margin on a 36-hole score of 134. While Intermittent showers made playing conditions over the Beaver Lake Country club course tricky, Guldahl played magnifi cently consistent golf on all but the short holes. He bogeyed three jot these one-shotters, one of them because a sadden downpour made the grip of his mashie slippery. Otherwise he would have been even farther in front. As it is, the slope-shouldered westerner w i 1 1 go into tomor row's final 36 holes at the Bilt more Forest Country club lead ing Ben Hogan, winner of the last two tournaments, and Lloyd Mangrum, 24-year-old "comer" from Oak Park, 111., by one Bhot. Hogan Under Par Hogan, for the ninth time in these last three tourneys, broke par with a 68 to add to the 67 he posted yesterday, when Gul dahL Dick Metz and Mangrum had 6 4 '8. Mangrum got his 135 hotal out of a second-round 71, one under regulation figures and remarkable because of a 6 he took on the 1 6th hole. Metz went up eight strokes to a 72 for 136 at which figure he was bracketed with Lawson Lit tle. The former US and British amateur titleholder went out and back in 34, just as he had in the first round. Henry Picard, the PGA champion, and Frank Walsh of Rum8on, NJ, both went from 65 to 73 and 138. At 139 Sam Snead was tied with Leo Walper of Washington. Ttsl V. . . A tr v. l j ii i . V- J " finest round, a 67, called the tour nament committee's attention to the fact his score yesterday should have been posted as 73 rather than 72. Because he also had a touch of tonsllitis, the big hitter withdrew from the competition. Indiana NCAA Cap tures Hoop Title KANSAS CITY, March 30.-tP) -Jay McCreary, a gum chewing blond midget in a forest of phy sical giants, poured in 13 points tonight as Indiana university de defeated the University of Kan sas, 60 to 42, for the basketball title of the National Collegiate Athletic association. The Hoosiers, only second in the Big Ten conference but win ners of the recent eastern NCAA playoffs, replace the University of Oregon at the top of the col legiate cage heap. Kansas, repre senting the area west of the Mis sissippi, shared the Big Six conference- championship with Mis souri and Oklahoma. It took Indiana eight minutes to xet its first iroal but they earned the trick well and after that there was no stODDin? them. y intermission time they were at In front. 32 to 19. wilder Bounty Fund Exhausted Funds provided by law for the payment of 'bounties on wildcats have been exhausted for the pres ent calendar year according to announcement made by the Ore gon state game commission.

Leadin Molds Joe Louis Brain Trust Must Look Backward for Opponents in Future; Untried Campaigners Will not Draw s By SID FEDER NEW YORK, March 30. (AP) Out of the pathetic picture that was Johnny Paychek the man who admittedly "died" walking: the last mile from his dressing room came the conviction today that Joe Louis' brain trust now must look backward for future action for the time since he became heavyweight champion. The traffic definitely will noO longer bear any such punchlng bag exhibitions as was put on last night in Madison Square Garden, with the cash customers going for large prices to see opposition (who said that?) furnished by an untried campaigner, scared so badly his knees and teeth rattled like the maraccas in a conga band. No one realizes this more clear ly than Promoter Mike Jacobs, whose ear is always glued to the ground on the likes and dislikes of the cash customers. As a re sult, you can write it down in your little black book right now one of three proven possibili ties who will try, anyway, will be in there when the bomber returns to the wars again, probably in late June or July. This trio con sists of Two-Ton Tony Galento, the guy who's afraid of nothing except a shortage of beer; Arturo Godoy, who made Louis look pretty terrible for 15 rounds last month, and Bob Pastor, who made a fight out of it in his second round last September. "Uncle Mike" Jacobs paid Louis $19,908 for last night's flopefoo. gave Paychek $9954 and handed $5197 to the Finnish relief fund. Then he shouted that he would rather have lost $15, 000 on a "real" fight than to take his somewhat disappointing profit from any such "hot dog fight." Cop's Son Hurls Well for Tigers LAKELAND, Fla., March 30--(yP)-Tb.e six foot son of a Los A-ngeles policeman, playing his first professional baseball, is the pitching sensation of the Detroit Tigers training camp this spring. Richard Conger has pitched consecutive scoreless innings for Detroit in the "Grapefruit league" against Brooklyn, Boston, Cincin nita, and St. Louis of the National league and Washington of the American league. Until the Reds scored two runs against him Friday only five bat ters had hit safely and only two had managed to reach third base. Some baseball observers in these parts believe Conger may be the first athlete to step from a cam pus into a regular Job with the Tigers since Pitcher Owen Car roll came from Holy Cross in the early twenties. Conger last year was a 19-year-old member of the freshman team at the University of California at Los Angeles, when scout Marty Krug of the Tigers reported he had "a good fast ball, an excellent curve, a good change of pace and fine control." Ken Manning Will Quit Pro Diamond Ken Manning, former Willam ette university athlete, who last year played first base for Spo kane in the Western Internation al league, and who has been iden tified with organized baseball for three years, last night announced his permanent retirement from the game. Giving his reason that he saw no future in the game for him, Manning said he Is accepting a position with the Physicians and Surgeons organization here in Salem. Manning's decision leaves the Spokane club, which had planned on his return, with the first base hole to fill. Million Notices Sent Employers More than four miles of wage reporting forms 'have' rolled through the addressing and tabu lating machinery of the state un employment commission offices here the past few days in sending out a million quarterly notices to more than 10.000 employers of more than four, officials reported Saturday. The benefit year starting in January, 1941, will be based on wages earned between October 1, 1939, and September 30, 1940. Wage records are now being re ported only every quarter. Cur rent reports will be for the second quarter of the base year. Reese Rein jured As Season Nears AMERICUS, Ga., March Hard luck seems to be trailing Pee Wee Reese, the Brooklyn Dodgers No. 1 replacement for Manager Leo Durocher. On March 10 he split his right hand In a game with Detroit. That kept him out of the lineup for two weeks. Then today the wound was .reopened during a pepper game preceding the con test with the Giants.
