RARE GOLF FORM
Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 20 (U.R)
Harold (Jus) McSpaden of San

back in top golf form as he shot
his second consecutive three-under-par
lound of 67 to take
the lead at the halfway mark in
the $3,000 Tucson open golf
tournament at the El Rio Coun
try club with a 134.
With a high, brisk and chilly
wind sweeping the fairways, par
came closer to holding its own in
the second round with only
seven golfers bettering regula
tion figures.
Joe Zarhardt, Norrlstown, Pa.,
the first-round leader, slipped to
a par 70 to tie for second place,
one stroke behind McSpaden,
with Bruce Coltart, the burly
belter from Atlantic City, N. J.,
who added a 89 to his 8S, and
Byron Nelson, last year's lead
ing money winner, who shot a
68, one stroke above his first
round.
One stroke farther behind
were Jimmy Gauntt, a surprise
package from Ardmore, Okla.,
who shot even par today for a
136 total, tying with Slammln"
S:mmy Snead, the White Sul
phur Springs, W. V., pro, who
added a 69 to yesterday's 67.
Snead suffered a mild blow
up on the 18th green, when he

OF PRO ATHLETES
Washington, Jan. 20 (U.R)
The war department announced
today that professional athletes
no longed will be rejected for
service in the army on the
ground of physical disability un
til all facts have been reviewed
by the department.
The order, in effect, took
away from army induction sta
tions the right to reject a pro
fessional athlete for service on
physical grounds, transferring
final decision to the war de
partment. It was the first time such a
review had been ordered for a
specific group of prospective in
ductees, although any proposed
discharge of an entertainer or
professional athlete from the
army must get war department
review.

OUT OF NAVY TO
FACE TOUGH ROW
Chicago, Jan. 20 U.R) Fred
die (Red) Cochrane, world's wel
terweight boxing champion, re
cently discharged from the navy,
will run into a fist full of trouble
when he returns to his civilian
occupation. w
During the sailor boy's ab
sence, the welterweight division
has become the toughest in the
business with a raft of good
punchers ready to knock Coch
rane oft of his throne. Slowed
down by navy service and never
really a great champion, Red has
a 'lot of finesse, speed and power
to regain before he'll be ready
to take on the field. ;
Foremost among the challeng
ers is the sweet boy himself, Ray
(Sugar) Robinson, who has been
creating mayhem since he was
honorably discharged from the
army, The New York negro has
won six straight since he was
mustered out and 51 victories in
52 pro scraps.
. Robinson's latest masterpiece
was a 10-round decision over
Tommy Bell of Voungstown, O..
ending the Ohio belter's victory
string at 26.
But before, the lithe, fast
punohlng New Yorker can knock
on Cochrane's door, he has a date
In Chicago with George (Sugar)
Costner, who veteran midwest
boxing observers believe is head
ing non-stop toward the title.
The 21. year -old Cincinnati
slugger is lightning fast, throws
knockout punches with either
hand and has a touch of the
"killer instinct." Costner, who
claims Robinson as his ring idol,
all but disabled Dick (Shiek)
Rangel here last night in scor
ing his 22nd straight knockout
and his 23rd straight victory
with a right hand smash in 1:22
of the first round. Rangel's chief
claim to fame is a victory over
Fritzie Zlvlc.
The winner of the February 9
bout here between the two sugar
boys probabjy will get the first
shot at the champ.
