" pletely for the slim Texan every
body had been pulling for Ben
Hogan. Bantam Ben, playing in
his second tournament since his
near fatal auto accident eleven
months ago, fired a two over par
74 today to give him a two-round
total of 151. . . ' :
pace as the field prepared to com
bat the third -and final round of
the 54-hole event tomorrow. Ho
gan, incidentally, won the Crosby
blue ribbon links derby last year.
After Hogan's deadlock with
Snead in the Los Angeles open
this week, he teed off here as the
co-favorite with the latter. Snead
had to come from behind to tie
Hogan then. This time, Hogan was
so far behind there was only the
remotest chance of him catching
the front runners.
The Hogan story took its dram
atic turn yesterday when Battling
Ben carded a five over par 77 on
a course he always conquered with
ease in the past
Cold, . wind -and a soft course
combined with Hogan's fatigue to
check the little ex-champion. He
was eight ; shots - behind Snead
yesterday and in spite of today's
74 lost two more strokes to the
front runners, na poor cnips to
. the greens today cost him many
strokes. . . , .

midway, margin., Van Pelt, the
Pioneer's six feet, eight eincher,
hit for 10 points in the opening 20
minutes, and Loder was close be
hind with nine. '
Four minutes Into the second
period, Loder banged in a close
one to put the WUs out front,
33-34 and Doug Logue immediate
ly followed with a lay-in to put
it at 37-34. The 'Cats kept a bare
two points above the foe up to
the 15-minute mark, then began
to pull away with Guards Lou
Scrivens and Hugh Bellinger pro
viding the spark. Bellinger hit for
his 13 points in the last 20 min
utes. -
Nine Infractions were whistled
In the last two minutes and In
that small space of time, with the
help of the two-minute rule, no
less than four men left the floor
via fouls. Chuck Robinson exited
for' the WlTs and Downey, Pol

fraction victims.
The .Willamettes had a snappy
shooting record of 22 field goals
in 60 attempts while the LC's
were getting 22 in 67. Effective
ness at the foul line was the de
ciding factor. Willamette sank 26
gifters In 33 tries while the
Pioneers holed out 17 of 30.
Loder built his big total on six
buckets and nine free tosses.. Lou
Scrivens was next high for the
