1 5-Year Old Girl Crowds
Jones as Golfing Legend
By OSCAR FRALEY
(United Press Sporta Writer)
New York, Jan. 30 U.R Mar
lene (she's got lovely legs, too!)
Bauer, a slick 15-year-old chick
who can really belt a golf ball,
was crowding Bobby Jones to
day for honors as golf's youngest
legend.
Just in case you hadn't no
ticed, marvelous Marlene took a
4 and 3 shellacking from Polly
Riley in the finals of the Helen
Lee Doherty tournament at Mi
ami this past weekend. The tip
off, however, is that Marlene is
news anymore when she finishes
second!
Certainly, Marlene already
is to. women's golf what Jones
was to the men's game and
maybee more. Jones didn't
break 80 until he was 10 years
old. Miss Bauer did it at 10.
The Jones worshippers will
tell you that equipment and
teaching methods have im
proved since then. Well, I'll
bet Marlene is prettier, any
how. And she can play her fair
share of competitive golf, too.
At 15, she was named the 1949
woman golfer of the year by the
Official Golf Guide. It was an
honor she had been working to
ward ever since her father,
Dave, a golf pro, started her
swinging a club before she was
lour.
"She quit playing with dolls
when she was five and cried
because I wouldn't let her en
ter a tournament," her father
laughed. "The reason was that
most opponents would think
that a five-year-old was a nui
sance and would resent her
playing. But even at that age
she was proud of her ability
to count correctly and knew
her golf etiquette."
Which is more than can' be
aid for some 10-cents-a-hole
adults.
By the time she was eight,
Marlehe made the tournament
grade, qualifying in the first 16
In the South Dakota state cham
pionship. She played in the west
ern open at nine and then the
family moved from Aberdeen,
S. D., to Long Beach, Calif.
At 12, Marlene really start
ed to travel. She was the
youngest person ever to quali
fy for the trans-Mississippi
and, in 1947, at 13, she shot
a TO which erased Babe Did
rlckson Zaharias' competitive
course record at Palm Springs
as she won that tournament
and the Los Angeles city
crown.
In 1948, now a matured 14
year-old, Marlene copped the
Indio, Calif., invitational by 13
strokes her worst round being
better than any other player's
best. On one nine she had a 35,
one under men s par, with
birdie four on the 502-yard
ninth.
Last .year the tousle-haired
youngster kept right on rolling,
She reached the semi-final of the
women's natio nal amateur,
youngest ever to accomplish
this feat; beat Mrs. Zaharias in
21-hole marathon at Fort
Smith. Ark., and copped the
medal in the Texas women's
open with a 34-37 71. There
were some pretty fair gal golf
ers in that one, too, belters like
the Babe, Patty Berg, Bettye
Mims White and Betty Jameson,
Marlene is one of Dave's
two beautiful belting Bauers.
Her sister, Alice, now 22, for
merly could handle Marlene.
But not anymore.
The reason is that Marlene is
a female Ben Hogan, small but
amazingly long and accurate,
Also ala Hogan, she is quiet, de
termined, seldom smiles on the
course and concentrates with
such intensity that even ii
large gallery she seems to be
off by herself.
Her ambition is to be the best
and her methods are the same
as Hogan's, practice and more
practice. Maybe she won t make
them forget Jones, but it !
double-dyed cinch she's going to
make them remember Bauer,
She has the shots and the deter
mination and she could give
that other Marlene a run for her
money, too!
Beneficiation is any process by
which the yield of metal from
ore is increased.
Dick Dunkel, College Basketball Power Index
EXPLANATION The Power Index provides direct comparison of the -ela(lve strength
of any two teams for this season to date. Thus, a 50.0 team has been 10 scoring points
stron: r than a 40.0 team on their comparative records, in vhich scoring margin has
been weighed against strength of opposition. This does not necessarily mean that a 50.0
team should defeat a 40.0 team by exactly 10 points In the uture. Teams rarely follow
past performance that closely. Furthermore, the ratings are not adjusted for such fac
tors as home court, Injuries and ineligibilities. The Dunkel system correlates records of
all college teams and was started in 1929.

Weak End Notes
Scotty Perkins, Georgia
Teachers College basketballer,
pulled one for the book recently
the present one is the stuff.
Mackenzie, a professional for
41 years, compares the golfers
of today with those when he
first broke in and finds much to
be happy about.
Getting intoxicated back
yonder was an established
ritual for most players at a
tournament. "They got drunk
each night and they did it be
cause each knew that since
his opponent was doing the
same thing there would be no
advantage for anyone," Mac
kenzie says.
Purses were not big enough
to worry about and in the second
place there were four country
clubs for each professional and
if his club didn t like his actions
he would move on without bat
ting an eye, the veteran Dallas
Country Club pro explains,
If those guys hadn t been
playing golf, liquor would have
killed them," he grins. "They
could work away the effects by
playing 38 holes of golf a day."
Tournaments paid only about
$1,000 then with $500 to the
first place winner. Today first
place in any tournament draws
more than $1,000. And there are
many more tournaments.
Mackenzie figures the new
order in golf really started when
Francis Ouimet, a youngster,
"That's when the youngsters
started thinking about golf."
Mackenzie declares. "Until then
it was considered an old man's
game."
Today there are free children's
classes at country clubs like the
Dallas layout. There are good
golfers everywhere you go.
Mackenzie was born at
Montrose, Scotland, and be
came a pro at the age of 19.
He came to America in 1909
and got his first job as an as
sistant pro at Nassau Country
Club at Glen Cove, N. Y. He
came to the Dallas Country
Club In 1918 and except for
seven years at another Dallas
course, has been there ever
since.
"Golf is a sport you can play
no matter how old you are," he
says, "and it is a sport you can
play alone. A good golf game is
a good asset in business. I know
young fellows who get pros
pects into golf games and make
all kinds of sales right out there
on the golf course."

Ski Tow Installed to
Promote Lebanon Sports
Beirut, Lebanon Picturesque
Lebanon, which wants to be
come the Switzerland of the
middle east, is installing the
first ski tow in this part of the
world.
Construction of the mile and
half - long tow will continue
through the mild winter. The
tow will have 150 chairs and a
capacity of 240 skiers an hour,
and will cost about $70,000.
The tow is being erected on
the slopes of the Kornet Es
Saouda, about 10,000 feet
high, highest peak in the coun
try. It is just Inland from
the Mediterranean port of
Tripoli and in the vicinity of
Lebanon's famous cedars on
nearby Dahr EI-Kadib.
The purpose is to attract more
winter tourists to this pleasant
land, crowded with remnants of
ancient Phoenicians, Roman and
Greek civilizations. The tourist
business an important segment
of the national economy has
not been very good since the
fighting in neighboring Pales
tine.
Another step In the plan is
to build more tourist accom
modations especially for
skiers. Hotels would be In
adequate If any great stream
f tourist headed this way.
Right now, the slopes of the
Lebanese mountains are just the
place for skiers who want to
enjoy the sport without distrac
tion of large crowds. The sea
son, opened in late December,
lasts through March. Some snow
fields remain through May.
If the skier wants to vary his
activities, he can drive in a few
hours to the bathing beaches of
Bierut. The sea remains warm
enough for swimming the year
round.
The mountains, dotted with
old monasteries, tiny villages
and laboriously - built terraces
for grape vines and olive trees,
were once covered with great
cedar forests.
These cedars supplied the
wood for the galleys of the Phoe
nicians, for the temple of Sol
omon and for various structures
of the Egyptian pharaohs. Now
there are only a few remaining.
