His tl.000 first money ran his earnings for the year to $7,158 and his total in tha Var- don trophy race to 182 points. It was a strangely agreeable, laughing Hogan who won yes terday, compared to the grim, unsmiling, unknown Texas kid who won the north-south in 1940. He tipped his white cap to applauding galleries, autograph ed cards in the middle of the fairways and once walked down from the No, 8 tee frolicking with the five-year-old daughter of an acquaintance.

Reds Pungle $20,000 for Gerry Walker to Plug Outfield Hole By John Frye Cincinnati, March 27 IA So the Cincinnati Reds are still trying to stop left field drives with dollar bills. That is the main local reaction to the Tampa, Fla., training camp announcement of the pur chase of holdout Gerry Walker from the Cleveland Indians. The price Is supposed to be $20,000, which Increases almost to $300,- 000 the cumulative four-year investment In looking for a man who can both hit and field in left. Walker, who preferred Jerk ing sodas in his swank Orlando, Fla., drug store to taking a $5,000 cut from the Indians, may be the answer. If so, he will be a novelty in a field which has trembled under men like Vince Dl Maggio, Morrie Arnovich, Johnny Klzzo, Ernie Koy, Jimmy Ripple, Wallie Bergtr, and sundry others now gone so far as the Reds are con cerned.

JP) Everett Dean, coach of the Stanford basketball team, is, as coaches go, a patient, Polly annlsh sort of fellow, but he can stand Just so much. All week long the tutor fromi Palo Alto has concentrated on but one thing, seeing that his boys concentrated on one thing, tomorrow night's game with Dartmouth college for the N. C. A. A. championship. Last year In the western finals Jack Friel'i Washington State squad knocked off Arkan sas, and looked like million dollars. After a week's sojourn in the heart of America, replete with Kansas City alumni, steaks and girls, the Staters more nearly resembled the Schmaltz family grocery " bill in succumbing to Wisconsin In the national finals. Dean has taken no chances. An 11 o'clock deadline has been zealously observed and the ever cooperative Stanford faculty has been sending examinations through the mail Just to keep the lads scholastic bent. With this worry fairly well banished, the coach of the Stan- fords was pretty happy until he got wind of a very ugly rumor being bruited around town. His crew, gossip reported, was a favorite. In the- eastern playoffs Illln ols and Kentucky were the pre game favorites. They finished fourth and second respectively Kansas and Colorado couldn't lose in the western trials. Both wound up behind Stanford. Only steel-lined will power keeps Dean from forfeiting the tilt. Whatever betting Is done, however, is mostly at 3 to 4 with the bettors taking their choice. Most of the money is be ing laid on Stanford chiefly be cause of the impression they created in winning last week's series here. GREAT VAULTERS E T By William E.

SUB GETS FREIGHTER OFF VIRGINIA COAST Norfolk, Va., March 27. AP) A small American merchant ship was torpedoed off the At lantic coast Monday but through the daring gallantry of her boatswain who reboarded the sinking vessel and broke out the stars and stripes, she went down with the flag streaming from her pole. Rescue ships landed 14 sur vivors and four bodies at More head City, N. C. Twenty mem bers of the vessel's 3 8-man crew were missing and presumed lost, the fifth naval district said in announcing the sinking today.
