TO A B Fet. o o o .ooo i i o l.ooo Mighty Mite Ousts Demaret By DICK STRITE PORTLAND GOLF CLUB, PORTLAND, Aug. 24. Dynamic Ben Hogan, the little "chocolate soldier" of the fairways from Hershey, Pa., established himself as a popular successor to Lord Byron Nelson's PGA throne here Saturday afternoon by scoring a surprisingly easy 10-9 victory over dapper but deflated Jimmy Demaret in one of the two sched uled 36-hole semi-finals of the 28th National PGA champion ships. He will be a top-heavy favorite to defeat Ed "Porky" Oliver in Sunday's classic that is expected to attract a gallery of 10,000 spectators. Oliver, Wil mington, Del., heavyweight who ousted two-time-champlon Nel son in Friday's quarter-finals, gained the finals by defeating Jug McSpaden, 6-5. Hogan, who was once beaten in an exhibition over the Eugene Country Club course by amateur Don Leal, was an automat of the links Saturday in registering one of the most decisive semi-final triumphs in PGA history.- Using a. wedge on his shorter approach shots, Hogan scored his victory on shots dead to the pin. He Had a blistering 65, seven under, in tak ing a 6-up lead on the morning round, and was even more im pressive with a 31, four under par, on the nine afternoon holes. The gigantie championship trophy looks like a certain fixture in the Hogan home during the next year along with a diamond-studded gold medal and $3500 in the bank. Hogan, who qualified with a third-place 137, had never pre viously advanced beyond the quarter-finals in this rich contest. Oliver Impressive Oliver, in defeating McSpaden, who was a finalist in the .1937 tourney, was even more impres sive Saturday than when he downed Nelson. He may give Ho gan a better battle than antici pated by the experts. He had a three-under 89 in the morning and was six under for the 13 aft ernoon holes. Demaret made a strong bid to reach the finals at the very start with Hogan's last bad hole on the first 18. Demaret, however, push ed in an 18-footer on the third to go two up. From there on through the remaining 15 holes, Hogan was on the beam and his ap proach shots were deadly. He birdied the fourth and fifth to even the match and took the next three holes to make the turn with a 3-up lead. Although Demaret played sub- par golf on the second nine, Ho gan's birdies on the 10th, 13th and 15th were all winners and good for a six-up lead at lunch time. Hogan missed an eagle by inches when his second phot on 500-yard 15th found the green. Hogan had a sizzling 65 in the morning to Demarefs 71. Hogan won the first two after noon holes with birdie 3s. De maret had a chance on the 21st hole when Hogan overshot the green, but Jim missed a 15-foot putt for a halve. Hogan's tee shot on the 135-yard 22nd hit the; green, but Demaret overshot into the trap. He recovered two feet from the pin, but Hogan dropped an 18-footer for a birdie deuce and a 9-up lead. He also won the 23rd when his wedge shot bit deadly and Demaret tried for a four, but this 30-foot putt rimmed the cup. Hogan barely missed a 25-foot- er on the 25th for a win, but Harmon Out ' For 10 Days CHICAGO, Aug. 24. (U.R) Tom Harmon, former Univer sity of Michigan star now play ing with the Los Angeles Rams, will be on the sidelines for 10 days as the result of a dislocat ed elbow received in the Rams game with the College All Stars, Coach Adam Walsh an nounced Saturday. Harmon participated in only one play and was hurt when tackled for an eight yard loss by Jim Russell of Baylor. Four other Ram players were injured in the contest. Quar terback Albie Reisz and Center Fred Naumetz received knee injuries, while backs Pat West and Fred Gehrke suffered brok en noses. dropped the 28th when his tee shot 210 yards away landed in a trap and he needed two putts for a four while Demaret holed out in par. McSpaden Takes Lead With the count 9-10, both hit the green nicely on their second shots on the 362-yard 27th. De- maret missed a 15-footer and then Hogan rammed down a roll ing 12-tooter for a birdie three and the 10-9 triumph. ' McSpaden took the initial lead in the match when his approach shot was nine feet from the pin and he rammed it down for birdie. But he, faltered on the fourth with a bogie and Oliver's par evened the match. Oliver scrambled on several holes and the match remained even until the 13th when McSpaden had trouble and Oliver's par was good for a one-up lead. McSpaden was wild off the tee on the 15th as Oliver bagged a bird for a two-up lead. v McSpaden's approach four feet from the pin on 16 and Oliver's tee shot into the rough closed the gap to one. McSpaden's third shot on IB was under a large nr while Oliver was hole-high in the rough on his second. McSpaden picked up and conceded the hole and a 2-up lead to Oliver who finished with a synthetic 69 to McSpaden's 72. He Gives Battle McSpaden, who had ousted such aces as Dutch Harrison and Bob Hamilton, gave Oliver a ter rific battle through most of the first nine holes on the afternoon round. They halved the first four holes the 22nd with birdie deu ces. Oliver's iron was six inches from the pin and after McSpaden hit his three-footer he conceded Oliver a two. Oliver's only edge on the first nine in the afternoon came on the 23rd where his third shot was four feet from the pin. McSpaden was only six feet away, but rimmed the cup on his putt while Oliver canned for a 3-up lead. Oliver virtually clinched the match on the 520-yard 28th. His iron shot was on the apron. He chipped with a No. 4 iron and the ball found the hole for an eagle three. He went 5-up on the 29th. Both hit the green in two, but McSpaden's 25-footer missed by inches, and Oliver holed out a four-footer for a birdie three. They halved the next with par 3s. On the 31st, McSpaden's tee shot sliced near a tree trunk. He looked it over and said, "I'm just wasting my time, Porky, and yours too." But he tried to chip out and then approached to the green nicely, six feet from the pin. Oliver's second was only four feet away and McSpaden con ceded the hole and the match. 100-Mile Fairgrounds Stock Car Classic To Feature Northwest's Top Race Drivers I I this is THI?
