BUD WARD
Ward Enlists
'In Air Corps,
Spokane Field
SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 2H?)
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

He birdied No. 18.
The rain started while Nel

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

two more strokes off par, one
on 16 and the other at No. 18.

Oregon State sophomores who'll see action against Duke, won't
ever equal Huntington's 180-minute Rose Bowl record is that,
even if they had opportunity in three Bowl games, they wouldn't
be playing a full 60-minute game in any of the three Unlike
today's many substitute games, they didn't use many back in
"Holly's" era. . . For instance, in the Oregon-Harvard game of
1920, Harvard used five substitutes and Oregon but two.
They turned out for the Pasadena game in those days, how
ever, just as they do today. . . For the Harvard-Oregon mix 22
years ago there were 35,000 in attendancefilling the 30,000
seats and 5000 paying their way into standing room only.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20 (AP) The football season is over, the returns are in

Neale Named
Number One,

HOQUIAM, Wash., Dec. 2O-0P)
-Workhorse Emery Neale of Port
land, the Stanford university ten
nis flash who lost only two
matches in six gruelling Pacific
northwest tournaments last sum
mer, Saturday held top ranking
in the Pacific northwest Lawn
Tennis association's 1941 men's
singles listings.
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.
