(UPI) - Don January, who has trouble win ning other places, goes out to day in an attempt to capture the Tucson Open golf crown for the third time. But January, 34, Is still one of the hottest' men on the 1964 pro tour. He .has collected $11, 331.03 in the first six weeks of play. He tied for the champ ionship of the Lucky Interna tional in San Francisco and lost the play-off to Chi Chi Rodri guez. , : . .. , The tall Texan . ran away from the field- on this Forty Niner. Country Club course last year, winning by 11 strokes. "I just happen to like the course and I like the greens," he explains. "For some reason I have a lot of confidence around here." ;; .;, ;;. , Despite his - fine - play here, January isn't the favorite. That mantle falls on South Africa's little Gary Player, the health fadist, who finished in a tie for third last week at Phoenix. Player, who has won the British and Australian Opens, the United States PGA and Masters, among other titles, Amateur golf dying Fraley By Oscar Fraley UPI Staff Wrlt.r MIAMI (UPI) - Amateur golf is dying, Willie (The Wedge) Tumesa asserted to day, because the U. S. Golf As sociation has forgotten promo tion ana become a "horary" devoted to hackneyed rules. "Professional golf is booming because of giant purses and television," said Turnesa. But the amateur corps of very fine golfers is virtually unknown in an era in which golf is at its height." The amateurs soon will be losing ground just as college football has lost out to profes sional football, he argued, un less the USGA gets smart and "turns on the gas." Tumesa, a chunky little man who won the U. S. Amateur championship in 1938 and again in 1948 and captured the Brit ish Amateur in 1947, holds that amateur golf is not being de stroyed by the professional game. "Some people hold that as played beautiful golf in his first outing of the year at Phoenix, This isn't the strongest field in the world. In fact, it seems to be fashioned for non-win ners. None of the men who won the first six tourneys this year has entered. That elim inates Paul Harney, Art Wall, Tony Lema, Juan Rodriguez, Tommy Jacobs and Jack Nlck laus. Arnold Palmer Isn't playing here either.

These men ln elude .French Open king Bruce Devlin. of Australia;'. lanky AI Geiberger, who has won $7,437 this year without, taking a ti tle; Bobby Brae, the sensation of the Phoenix Open when he finished second to Nicklaus; Al Balding of Canada, who has picked up $4,453 so far this sea son, and Gay Brewer, a winner of $6,000. Bowling Green hooper Komiyes leads scoring NEW YORK (UPI)-Howie Komives of Bowling Green is threatening to make basketball history by leaping 45 positions in one year to the top of the major colleges scoring leaders. Never has anyone come from so far back (45th in 1962-63) to win the crown. With nine games remaining on the Falcon schedule, Komives' 34.6 aver age may hold up. His closest pursuer is little Manny Newsome of Western Michigan with an average out put of 33.1. Last Saturday night, Newsome hit his person al high for the year scoring 44 points against Ohio University. Defending champion Nick Werkman of Seton Hall moved up to third place at 31.9; Ohio State's Gary Gradds, by aver aging 45.2 in his last five games, jumped from 16th into a virtual tie for the fourth spot with Princeton's Bill Bradley at 31.8. , ...... .. .... ""San Francisco's Ollie Johnson had a rough week from the floor hilling 11 out of 28 and dropped from first place in field goal marksmanship to seventh. Chuck Richards of Syracuse, a transfer from West Point, is the new pacesetter with a .622 percentage. Rich Park of Tulsa is best frdm the free throw line click ing on .929 of his attempts. Paul Silas continues for the seventh straight week as the rebounding champ pulling down 22.1 per game for Creighton. Miami of Florida, winners of 16 out of 21 remains the na tion's highest scoring outfit with a 96.7 average. soon as an amateur starts playing well he immediately thinks of turning professional", said the three - time Walker Cupper. "That isn't so. I wouldn't have turned pro no matter how large the purses. I wanted a business life and I'm very content with it." But, says Willte, who is in the packaging business in New York and is taking a vacation to play in the 29th annual Na tional Mixed ' Foursome golf tournament at the Country Club of Miami, there is no substitute for promotion. "Even Jack Nicklaus never received the recognition which was his due when he was an amateur," Willie observed. "Look at the amateur ranks right now. Deane Beman is the national champion and he's a very fine player. It's a shame that he's relatively unknown." So who's at fault? Turnesa's contention is that the culprit is the U. S. Golf Association. "They had enthusiasm in my day," says the little man who is graying at the temples. "That's why fellows such as Frank Stranahan, Lawson Lit tle and Bud Ward were able to go onto the tour with solid reputations. "But all of a sudden the pro motion power isn't there. They just don't publicize the ama teurs. There's no question but what the pros are taking the headlines yet the USGA, which undoubtedly makes money, doesn't bother with the old time public relations." The USGA, he insisted, has become "merely a group which guards the rules." "You have to carry a library on the course if you want to know what they're doing," he snorted. "But If they applied their efforts to the amateur championship as they do to the U. S. Open championship the winner would be just as well known as professionals." . Instead, he shrugged, the USGA treats the national ama teur "as if it was the ladies' open." "There are plenty of fine amateurs who have no ambi tion to become professionals," Tumesa said. "A boy who wants to be a pro plans it all out long before he is even a top amateur. They have no as surance that they'll make a good living, but they do set their sights on It. The true amateur knows he's going to re main an amateur and looks be yond that big prize fund. "Yet, he probably can't any how," he grinned. "But with the' amateurs playing in the darkness of a closet, as far as publicity and the USGA is con cerned, nobody has the skeleton of a chance." And, the odds are, that pro golf isn't going to let them up off the floor no matter what anybody does, anyhow.

With Seals owner Coley Hall at rinkside, San Francisco dropped a 5-3 decision to Port land to fall three points behind the fourth-place Bucks. Sixth- place Vancouver is only three points behind the Seals. Hall had flown to San Fran cisco from Canada to see if the squad should be shaken up fol lowing the Seals' seven straight losses on the road. But San Francisco had won eight straight at home, too. That streak was snapped. It was 1-1 after the first peri od when Art Jones of Portland and Ray Cyr of the Seals ex changed tallies. Then Gerry Goyer and Jones hit scores in the second stanza to give Portland a lead it never . lost. Tommy McVIe got four as sists for Portland.
