The 37th hole was played even and a missed sec ond shot by Hunt on the 38th was just- enough for Sheldon to take the hole and the match, Hunt took honors in the morn ing rounds.

Weekend notes: Again for Stan ford it was passer Gary Kerkorian and line plunger Bob Mathias who shone brilliantly. Mathias, the Olympic decathlon titlist, has be come a veritable dreadnaught in his first year of college football. After persistent criticism leveled at Southern California in recent weeks, Texas Christian Coach Leo (Dutch) Meyer delighted Los An geles sports writers when; he said: "The game was clean as a hound's tooth. It was hard football, the way it should be played." Sam Snead Shows Power VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Oct. 28(;P)-Sam Snead the White Sulphur Springs, W.

'- Greenberg, visiting here for a few days, said that the Tribe had always been interested in a trade for the Boston Red Sox slugger, but that it would be hard to trade for him. "We definitely need a hitter," said Greenberg of the Indians, who wound up the 1951 campaign with three 20-game winning pitchers and second place in. the American league. He said that he'd talked trades with General Manager Charlie Gehringer of Detroit last week, but declined' to say what players might be involved.
