W) A superb wedge shot, almost as spectacular as the 140-yard eagle which won hjm the 1958 Crosby championship, brought victory again to quick hitting Billy Casper and sent him away from Pebble Beach today to ward the San Francisco Open $5,300 richer in Bing's famed $50,000 golf show. The tremendous wedge recov ery shot from 75 yards out on "the finisher," as the treacher ous 18th hole along Pebble Beach's rockbound coast has come to be known, laid Billy's ball a foot from the pin for a vital par 5. As it turned out, the shot put decisive pressure on husky U. S. Open champion Jack Nicklaus and the deter mined little South African, Gary Player. Nicklaus found himself with a 30-foot putt to win at 18, missed it and slid past the cup 6 feet. Usually deadly accurate from that distance, Nicklaus missed the the sixfooter.'took a bogey 6 and finished in a second-place tie with Player, who missed a 12-foot putt he needed to tie Casocr.

Player was in no mood to play Two over par at 17, Billy got the word that a par 5 might win for him on the final hole. He decided to play it safe but a careless spectator distracted him as he hit his 2 iron tee shot at 18. The man walked right be hind Billy as he swung and Cas per came up on the ball, which went off line to the right into a sand trap. He had to explode out and his following No. 3 iron left him 75 yards short. Pro Golfer Cards 19 on 10th Hole In Crosby FEBBLE BEACH, Calif. Wl Professional golfer Dale Douglass of Lakcwood, Colo., carded a near unbelievable 19 " on the 10th hole of the Pebble Beach course during Sunday's final round of the Bing Crosby tournament. "It's kind of a blur," the lanky young pro admitted when asked about the horrendous hole. "I know my tee shot lodged in the bank of a cliff. I tried to hit it about three times. Finally, it rolled back to the beach and an unplayable lie. I took the first of about eight penalty strokes. "Evcrytime I hit the ball, it would slam into the bank and roll back to be half buried. Finally, I had to put it on a piece of ice plant to hit it out of there. "Joe Campbell was playing with me and helped me count the strokes. I just can't remember all of them. 1 was on the green in 17 and two-putted. And I was trying my best on all the shots, but you just couldn't get any footing." Douglass didn't lose his composure and shot even par for the final eight holes, finishing with a 92 and a 317 for 72 holes. s.ii WASfcfltSeiV'BMt fcx VS','!- l'?'v.i!. WW- group of 500.

"We want to build a nucleus of young players with talent who will develop into competi tive players. We hope to have such a program each year to re kindle interest in the sport. "If such a program could be developed nationally, the United States would have a tremendous pool of tennis talent. During the three months of training, the 22 professionals volunteering their services in the various communities will use their own instruction pro grams, and there is no restric tion on any youngster because of race, color or creed.

During the past two years the United States has failed to win its way into the Davis Cup Challenge Round as Australia continues to dominate the game. mama 1 the first pro ever to win the Crosby twice over the 72-hole route. Dr. Cary Middlccoff put vic- tories back to back in 1955 and 1956 but the tournament went only 54 holes in those days. And in the old Rancho Santa Fe days, also at 54 holes, Sam Snead won three times. The test was stepped up to 72 holes in 1958. When the firing ended at 18, where Arnold Palmer capped a disastrous round by taking a horrible nine after shooting into' Monterey Bay, there were five players tied at 288 for second place-Nicklaus, Player, Bob Rosburg, Dave Hill and Art Wall. It was worth $2,145 to each of them. All-time money winner Pal mer, who was announced as the world's greatest golfer at the start of the final round Sunday and promptly reminded the an nouncer that "you should have seen me Saturday," learned after the finish Sunday just how disastrous Saturday had been. A technical misinterpretation of a ruling on the par three 17th at Pebble Beach caused Palmer's disqualification from the tournament and four days of hard work for the exercise. A stroke back of the second place foursome was Portland's Bob Duden, the only man in pro golf who uses a pendulum put ter, swung like a croquet mallet between the legs, and who after Saturday's third round was leading the field by a stroke at 210. He soared to a finishing 77 287 to earn 51,400. At 288, Big George Bayer, first day leader Julius Boros and Doug Sanders.

Crowd of 9,000 Amazing By PAUL HARVEY III o( tha Register-Guard i A crowd of 9,000 at a regular season high school basketball Same? Most called it impossible. Now they're talking of 10.500 the next time out. The estimated 9.000 watched South Eugene upset North Eu gene 57-50 Saturday night at McArthur Court. It's conceivable now the big pavilion will be filled to its 10,- 500-seat capacity when the two crosstown rivals meet again Feb. 19. The fans still were talking Monday about the game that undoubtedly will vault South Eugene (8-2) into the No. 1 po sition in the prep basketball polls. North Eugene (9-1). which despite its height couldn't cope with the Axemen on the boards, probably will drop only a notch to second spot. The crowd Saturday night no exact count was made but only the very top balcony was not filled was the greatest ever to watch a regular season prep game in Oregon. The previous high was 6,019 at McArthur Court a year ago for this same rivalry.

"This was astounding," said Hendrickson. He said it proves two fine high school teams plus all the color will draw. "It gives the people of the area a chance to sec a high school game without having to fight their way into a noisy high school gym," he said. Hendrickson said he now ex pects the pavilion to be filled Feb. 19. The gate was an estimated $4,500 with the two schools splitting the money after ex penses are paid. It would have been less than $400 if the game had been played in the 2,200 seat North Eugene gym. Normally the home team, in this case North Eugene, would receive the entire take. The fans were still talking about South Eugene taking away the backboard game from towering North Eugene and the brilliant play of South Eugene's 6-6 John Pinkstaff. The aggressive Axemen, who now have won six straight after two pre season tosses, had the rebound advantage 55-27 al though the Highlanders have four players 6-5 or better.
