By Middlecof f

At St. Petersburg
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
The iron nerve and know-how of a
veteran paid off in the stretch Sun
day as Cary Middlecoff overcame
8 five-stroke deficit to clip youthful
Jay Hebert for the chanroionshio
of the $12,500 St. Petersburg Open
Golf Tournament. ;
Five' blows behind at the start
of the last 18 hole round, Middle
coff fired a five-under par 67 to
catch Hebert five holes from home
and beat him by two strokes with
a 72-hole total of 274.
Wilting under the pressure ap
plied by Middlecoff, who played
with him in the same threesome,
the 32-year-old Hebert Chopped out
74 for 276.
It was the third tournament He
bert had blown in the final show
down during the winter tour.
He almost fell victim, too, to a
great last-day rally by Art Wall
Jr. who shot the day's best round
of 66 to move up from 11th place
into third with 277 just one stroke
back of Hebert

Wiffi will meet Pat Lesser of
v Seattle, 2 and 1 winner over Mary
Ann Downey, in Monday's 18-hole
finals.
Wiffi, sharpest shooter in the
field since match play began
Thursday, finished with four threes
in the last five boles for some of
the finest golf in the, history of
this 53-year-old event.
The smooth-swinging freckled
155-pounder who has made the tour
in the trailer of fellow California
golfer Gloria Armstrong, was two
under par for the 13 holes.

The continued cold weather
fishing and the salmon fishing
was a new -run of" steelhead in
Captured
Dr. Max . Denton caught it. The fish was a
nice 12 pounder taken from the lower river. It
is the first steelie, by the way, that we have
heard of in some time.
Nothing much goes on at present in the Wil
lamette or theSlough near Portland as far as
Chinook fishing is concerned. Very few fish were
reported all last week and it appears that it will
take some warming up of the water to improve
conditions to a point where it pays to get up in
the morning.
If the smelt chasers are tired of waiting they
can begin to set up camp on the banks of the
Sandy. The elusive little eulachon are now in
the Cowlitz and they may be in the Sandy in a
few days. On second thought, the odds are only
about 6 to 1 that they'll show at alL
What with all of the seeming craze and claimed advantages
in derbies it is extremely surprising that some group has not set
up a sweepstakes deal on the smelt runs. A sweepstakes similar
to that held in Alaska on the annual break-up of the ice. -
Commission Could Sicell Treasury
In fact the Oregon Game Commission could swell its treasury
by selling sweepstakes tickets on the arrival time of the smelt or
whether or not they will arrive at alL First prize could be a bag
cf smelt or a can of sardines.
Talk about not being worth getting up in the morning.
TVe should never have fallen out of bed yesterday nor should
we have taken our racing drg eat of bed. He did, as usual,
real well at the informal trial held at Camp Adair.
We entered him in both the derby and qualifying stakes.
This is.rdone for a purpose. "We feel that running around like a
frightened gazelle in the derby will calm him down enough so
that he will be steadier in the following qualifying stake.
Well, with all of his training school period he still broke like
a dropped saucer on the first bird. He was out yonder and got
the bird in a hurry and then came back with it by way of Browns
ville, Lebanon and points east ,
Deek Wins Out Oter Guns
On the second series the guns missed a bird or nearly missed
it It finally hit the grass just short of Independence. Deek was
sent after that one by the judges. One of the guns also started
out to pick it up and had a 100 yard head start. Deek won.
- ' - la the qualifying we were number 1 on the line. A long
and short bird were to be shot. Again ever our dc the long
bird was missed. Deck held steady and we were told to pick
him np for a later call back. We grabbed his collar and in the
excitement-he slipped the collar and was gone. But we still
got our call back after a few other dos.
On the line again and Deek was steady now. The string had
busted on us however, ana the guns missed iiother bird. By the
time we got a third call back Deek figured this was a bum deal.
He held steady on the long bird but the short bird was too much
and he broke. Can't say that we blame him what with all of the
goings on. The one thing we're certain of is that he'd come close
to beating the rabbit at the Portland dog track.

At Baxter Hal!
The squad will set up head
quarters at Baxter Hall on the
WU campus and will engage in
daily drills for some six weeks
in and adjacent to McCulloch
Stadium. .
Few figured the Giants would
make much of a mark in the
NFL last season, since the squad
was considered young and inex
perienced. But Howell directed
the team to tht top of the stand

paign and it finished only a step
behind the champion Cleveland
Browns of the Eastern Division.
When informed Sunday that
the Giants had scheduled their

with the arr. ngements and would

Werner Breaks
Siding Record
STOWE, Vt. in Sandy haired
Buddy Werner, 19-year-old Univer
sity of Denver freshman, thrilled
an international crowd of ace ski
ers Sunday by setting a downhill
record on Mt. Mansfield's steep
Nosedive Trail.
The Steamboat Springs, Col.
youth beat the top skiers of Europe
and America as he smashed the
1952 hill record for the American
international races in the fast time
of 2:07.5. The old mark of 2:16.7
was set by Ernie McCulloch of
Canada.
In the woman's downhill, Andrea
Mead Lawrence winner of the sla
lom races on Friday and Saturday
was tied by Madeleine Berthod of
Switzerland. Their time was 2:08.7.
Martin Strolz, Austria, finished
behind Werner in 2:12.2, and And
erl Molterer of Austria, who won
both men's slalom events, was
third in 2:12.5.
Short Route Used
Werner, whose first name is Wal-
lard, weighs 145 pounds. He cut
the famous seven turns of the up
per Nosedrive Trail in the shortest
possible route. He said at the fin
ish line: "I hit the first high, al
most in the trees, and just kept on
down straight."
Over the slower mid-section of
the trail unlike the other racers
he kept to one side, almost within
a few feet of the spectators who
lined the course from top to bot
tom. He apparently found faster
snow there.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. UB St.
Louis Cardinal officials are going
along with veteran pitcher Vic
Raschi in his hopes a four-week
rest will cure his ailing back, amid
reports Raschi is "believed

were ''inconclusive" and Dr. L C.

NCAA Finals to Change Site;
Rule Makers Start Meetings
KANSAS CITY (yp) With the disclosure that next year's
National Collegiate Athletic Assn. basketball tourney will move out
of Kansas City, the college forces Sunday left the scene and the
game's rule-makers moved in.
The national basketball commit
tee Sunday night opened a two
day session to devise the 1956 play
ing code.
Arthur (Dutch Lonborg, U. of
Kansas athletic director and chair
man of the NCAA tourney com
mittee, said his group is certain
to begin a rotation of meet sites
beginning next year, favoring cam
pus play. ;
Lonborg, however, said he did
not know yet what school or
possible non-campus site - would
get the 1956 tourney.
Insocction Slated
The committee will inspect vari
ous playing arenas with a view
toward picking a site within a
month, Lonborg said.
The tourney has been held at
Kansas City's Municipal Auditori
um the past three years.
Since 1939, when the first NCAA
meet was held at Northwestern
University, a college site has been
host only four times, including
Washington in 1949 and 1952 and
Minnesota in 1951. Seven meets
were conducted in Madison Square
Garden and six in Kansas City.
The rules-making national bas
ketball committee is expected to
wrestle hardest with two items,
the bonus free throw rule and stall
ing. 1 -Coaches
Give Views
The . main recommendations of
the National College Basketball
Coaches' Assn., which met last
weekend, were directed at those
two items.
The colleges have nine members
on the 20-member basketball rules
committee. The other representa
tion is divided among high schools,
the AAU, YMCA, and Canadian
groups.'
Lie the college group, the na
tional committee comes armed
with results of a nation-wide sur
vey for 'guidance in arranging the
1956 code.
The meeting will be an execu
tive session without announcement

grade student from Bethesda, Md.,
swept to upset swimming victories
Sunday to let loose another cas
cade of gold medals for the United
States in the Pan-American
Games.
McLane, former Yale University
star now in the Army, put on a
tremendous surge in the final yards
to beat the favored Oscar Kramer
or Argentina in the 1,500 meters
free style finals. He was clocked
in 20 minutes four seconds for the
distance. 120 yards short of a mile.
Miss Werner, just 14, captured
hte 200 meter women's free style

winning four of the seven.
Art Larsen of San Leandro,
Calif., preserved North America's
faltering tennis prestige by win
ning the men's singles title. The
lone remaining U.S. contestant, the
lefthander turned back giant En
rique Morea of Argentina in a
tough match, 4-6, 9-7, 6-4. 6-2.
The United States suffered a
hard blow when its baseball team
bowed to the Dominican Republic,
10-7, and virtually lost its hopes of
the championship.
The third defeat put the U. S.
in a tie for third at 3-3 behind
the Dominican Republic, leading
with 5-2, and Mexico, 4-3. The U.
S. has two games left, the others
one.
In other swimming and diving
events, -Joaquin Capilla of Mexico
retained his three-meter diving
crown with a clear-cut victory
over a trio of U.S. servicemen.
