Palmer Disqualified
'Crosby' Won by Casper
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. 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.

ririine shot was Billy's 140-yard
wedge for an eagle on the par

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.

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.

Crowd of 9,000 Amazing

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.
Pinkstaff, playing what coach
Hank Kuchcra said was his best
game ever at South Eugene,

"He was 1000 yards away, running like heck and I had time for a snapshot," said
Jim Bond. And then ho added, "I'm joking, of course. You don t find old timers ,
like this fellow out In tho open. Ho was in timber and thero wcro hundreds of
downed trees. I couldn't see more than 60 vards at any time. I was climbing up on
a log when I saw him get up and out of his bed; but he hadn t seen me. In five
minutes I was walking around him and thinking, he's tho largest elk 1 d ever seen.
Jim Bond's greatest color camera spectacle
"THE SUN RIVER ELK"
Filmed with the hunter definitely in mind, Jim focused his camera on dozens of
mammoth bulls that made his trigger finger itchy. Time after time he said. Which
one shall I take." Answering his own question, he always replied, Wait, Wait, A
bigger one will come along." it did. And you'll never forget the bugling of the mighty
elk, this grand wilderness sound captured in amazing stcrcphonic sound. Turnaway
crowds have greeted this outstanding accomplishment and thousands have said,
"IT WILL SURELY CHANGE YOUR ELK HUNTING IDfcAS."

The victory left South Eu

"They just simply outplayed
us," said Highlander coach Mel
Krausc. "We just weren't ag

didn't."
Aggressiveness a lack of It
has been a problem all year for
North Eugene.
"We learned a lesson," said
Krause.
South Eugene hadn't beaten
the Highlanders the previous
five times out two losses in
1961 and three more in 1962.

Game Notes . . .
After tho first quarter. South
Eugene had built up a 15-4 re
bound edge with Pinkstaff pick
ing off nine. The 6-6 star missed
only 1:29 of tho game the start
of the second quarter. . .
The biggest lead of tho game
was 12 points at 15-3 late in the
first quarter. . . It was the first
time all year that the Highland
ers have been out-rebounded . .
Kuchcra was not satisfied with
his club's ball-handling, this
slowing down tho feared Axe
man fast break. . .
South Eugene students have
been known to call the High
landers "Filbert Pickers" be
cause the school was built in
the midst of filbert orchards.
South now can start its own
orchard. North Eugene present
ed the Axemen with a tiny fil
bert tree which a few moments
later had a small confederate
flag waving from its top. . .
The only grumbling heard was
the result of all reserved scat
tickets being sold out by Satur
day noon. North Eugene sold
1,500 ond now figures it should
have had 3.000. . . The biggest
crowd at a University of Oregon
basketball game this year is
4,487. . .

letics can remain on a pay-as-,
