National Amateur Golf Champion Marvin "Bud" Ward put aside his crown Saturday and reached for an army uniform, applying for en listment in the second air force and passing preliminary examina tions. Lt. J. C. Rollins, recruiting officer at Getger field, said Ward's Induction was set ten tatively for Monday. Special authority was granted by the war department for his enlist ment In the second air force headquarters squadron at Fort at Fort George Wright, the lien tenant said. It meant the slender curly-head, twice national amateur king and western and northwest amateur titlist, would remain in the Spo kane area. The Athletic Round Table, fun club for which Ward is secretary, said the champion's job would be held for him. Ward crashed the national golf ing picture in 1938 when, as a member of the United State Walk er Cup team, he set a new course record for amateurs with a 67 over the Royal and Ancient St. Andrews course in Scotland. He won the national amateur crown first in 1939 and that same year finished stroke behind three professionals who tied for the national open crown. Last year he dropped the na tional amateur but picked up the western championship, repeating in that event this year before moving back into the national! throne room at Omaha. I Picard, Oklahoma fessional, pounded the soggy course for seven birdies and never went over par in the first day of the $5000 meeting. Nel son got as many birdies bnt his 32-3365 included a bogle four at No. 5. Lester Kennedy of Lynn, Mass., nosea out smiling Jimmy Demar et of Detroit for third place hon ors with a 32-3466. Demaret, a Houston lad who was in the lead until the late hours of the round. fired a 33-3467. Joe Zarhardt of Morristown, Pa., did just as well witn a 32-3567. Picard closed like a champion 10 taxe over the lead from Nelson. He birdied No. 18. The rain started while Nel son was on the fourth fairway, but he wobbled only on the fifth, where he wound up with the bogie. Picard, whose 31 was the lowest nine-hole score of the day, was five under through the 14th and chipped two more strokes off par, one on 16 and the other at No. 18. Ben Hogan, winner of the Var don trophy and the leadine mon. ey winner of the year, was 26th in the standings with an even-par Pete Reiser First Rookie To Win Title (Continued From Page 6) record life-time total to 415. The Dodgers led in all ver sions of club batting, contrary to a popular supposition that the Cardinals had the best of fensive club. But the difference In percentage was slight, Brooklyn had ,t7 and St. Louis .2715. Brooklyn's lead in total bases, a guide to slugging prowess, was 2221 to 2058. Danny Murtaugh of the Phils led in stolen bases with 18. Only two players took part in all their clubs' games, Frank Mc cormick in 154 for Cincinnati and Martin Marion in 155 for St. Louis. McCormick now has play ed in 616 consecutive games for the Reds. Most Valuable Goes to Reiser CHICAGO. Dec. 20 -tan- Har old Pete Reiser, centerfielder of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was nam ed Saturday by the Chicago chap ter oi ine baseball writers asso ciation as the most valuahl ma jor league rookie last season. Reiser, of St. Louis, was given first place on all except one of the 17 ballots cast. Phil Yankee shortstop, was the choice oi the other ballot. Reiser will receive the J. Louis Comiskev plague at a dinner January 6.

Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, December 21, 1941 South Victor In 'B' League Hoop Jamboree MT, ANGEL To the accom paniment of a maddening din of yens and cheers, the South end oi the Marion county "B" bas KetDau league was victor by a 35 to 46 score in the annual jam boree held in Mt. Angel college gymnasium Friday night, and copped the cheering trophy besides. It seemed almost evident from the start that Jefferson would walk away with the tro phy. Not only was their rooting section one of the largest, pep piest and most enthusiastic rep resented but it was backed by an equaUy peppy band, a regu lation drum major and major ettes and four pint-sized major ettes, who proved they could twirl their sticks and strut their stuff just as well as the regu lars. Re. Edward Spear, director of athletics at Mt. Angel college, presented the cup to the Jeffer son cheer leaders. Judees were Bars and Fleming of Silverton. Sacred Heart high school of Salem received honorable men tion in the cheering contest. About 1010 people packed the grandstand and overflowed the stage and the rim of the bas ketball court. Fourteen teams were represented. Seven 8 -minute quarters were played with five minutes Intermission be tween games. Each team was aUowed one t ae-out. Hawkins of St. Paul an Shelton of Stay ton alternated as referee and umpire. NORTH (35) Mt Anrel (51 Griffiths F. Groslacaues S meiemeier Hauth Sauvain ..... Colton rs Clark Flesh man 2 ...

V Figures don't lie, especially when the clinching ones are kept by a strictly unbiased staff of statisticians, and here they are: Robertson, playing every posi- " uon in the backlield, topped the conference in total offense, run. ning and passing, with 969 yards. Frankle Albert of Stanford was second with 70S, and Billy Sewell of Washington State third with The Trojan matinee idol fin ished In the lead In rushing of-. fense with ' 447 yards, beating oat Washington's soph m o r e halfback, BoV' Barrett, by two yards. i v; : ' ,. ;. Those two yards are of especial interest because they were made in a game against UCLA, and the Uclans kept the official statistics. Robertson also placed high in the circuit's passing offense, with 822 yards to his credit Bob Wat erfield, . UCLA sophomore, .led ith 738 Yards. Albert. was next with -709, Manson of Idaho third with 525 and Sewell was fifth; behind Robertsoav with 504.

Chaves is regular right guard.

Idaho, Dec. 20.-P)-Coach Lon Stiner and his Ore gon State college footballers stretched their legs here Satur day, then reboarded their train for another lap enroute to the transplanted Rose Bowl game at Durham, NC. No Special Trains WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-P)-The nation's railroads told Bowl game managers Saturday that be cause of wartime demands it was doubtful if special trains or cars could be provided to handle foot ball crowds.

The association also released women's, junior, boys' and girls' singles ranklnrs through Its president, Harry S. Knox of Hoquiam. The lanky, taciturn Neale start ed his northwest campaign last summer by winning the Portland city tourney; the Pacific north west sectional at Portland; the Oregon state at Portland, and the Washington state at Seattle. The week before the latter tourney he was runnerup to Nick Carter of San Francisco in the Pacific northwest at Tacoma. And the week after the Wash ington state meet here, he finally collapsed in the semifi Western Canadian tournament at Vancouver, BC, and lost to Harold Wagner, of San Francisco, a for mer Washington state champion. Neale had an especially hard time of lt in Seattle. He won the Washington state tourney In a terrific four-hour duel with Nick Carter. Before he was was through he had participated in the men's doubles and mixed doubles championship matches, and the Seattle Tennis club's lights were burning on the courts before he had finished. Knox said it was impossible to rank any of the British Columbia senior players because of insuffi cient data.

Golfer Wood Named Year's Comeback Kid NEW YORK, Dec. 20-p)-It was somewhat of a surprise when Craig Wood crashed thi lgn to win the Augusta national g.lf tour nament last spring. If was still more of a surprise when the blond headed professional, then 39 years of age, whipped the nation's best in th national open championship and two months later soundly trounced Vic Ghezzi, PGA title holder, in a special match. True, Wood long had been one of the top notchers but the bir money always had eluded him. Then too, he played in the . open with his back strapped to protect a torn muscle. All of which resulted in Wood being named the No. 1 comeback of the year by the 78 sports ex perts voting in the Associated Press annual poll. The Mamar onek, NY, golfer polled 102 votes for a 32-point margin o-er Johnny Vander Meer. the Cincin nati Reds' southpaw, as the writer spread their votes among 49 ath letes. Eighty one of Wood s votes came from 27 first place ballots on the basis of three for first, two for second and one for third. Vander Meer's polling of votes was no surprise for the erratic southpaw was a main stay of the Reds' pitching staff for the first time since pitching two consecutive no-hit games la 193S. His 1939 season was an absolute flop but he showed signs of regaining- his form in 1949 with Indianapolis and Cincinnati when be came back to chalk up 16 triumphs as com pared to 13 setbacks for the Reds this year. He also had the liw earned run average of 1.1Z. Ever Try This One?
