SAME OLD STORY
AS TEE ARTISTS
MEET IN SOUTH
Gulfnort, Miss., Feb. 18 U-R
It was an old story with a new
locale on the winter golf circuit
today Byron Nelson and Har
old McSpaden against the field.
Nelson and McSpaden were
the favorites as usual when the
select field of pros and ama
teurs teed off for the 15,000
Gulfport Open tournament over
the great southern country club
course.
' Picked to repeat his triumph
In the New Oreleans Open,
which he won In a playoff, Nel
son, the Toledo, O., veteran was
expected to have little trouble
with the par 72 layout If he is
able to maintain his recent form.
McSpaden, who went Into a
slump In the final round at New
Orleans after holding . a five
stroke lead over the field at one
time, will have to Improve con
siderably If he expects to catch
Nelson.
McSpaden. the former Kansas
City, Kan,, golfer now playing
out of Sanford, Me., Is the de
fending champion.
Others among the professional
clan expected to make a bid for
first money are Sammy Byrd of
Detroit; Claude Harmon of
Grosse Pointe, Mich., and Sam
Schneider of Corpus Christl,
Texas,
JOHNSON FAILS.
TO UPSET MASK
Gust Johnson failed in his
attempt to end the long win
ning streak of the Gray Mask at
Medford Armory last night and
went down In defeat two falls
to one, .
The coast champion started
out "like a house afire" and
produced the first fall in 20
minutes with a leg strap. Ten
minutes later the Mask had a
fall, obtained by having John
son on his back, hanging onto
his leg and Jumping up and,
down on his middle. Johnson
had been thrown from the ring
and knocked back among the
spectators when he tried to get
back. That, combined with the
Mask's weight slammed into his
mid-section, was too much for
him and Johnson was knocked
out and unable to come back
for the final fall.
A match that stole the show
for- excitement saw Terrible
Tony Rosa get a decision over
Harold Davidson In the middle
bout. Ross took a spill in the
second round and Davidson
evened It in the third. In the
fourth Davidson stretched Ref
eree Wally Moss on the canvas
with a sharp uppercut and Moss
stopped the bout, declaring Ross
the winner on a foul.
George Dusette caught Silent
Rattan in . a full nelson and
shook him like cat would a
mouse to take the only fall.

Los Angeles, Feb. IB (URI
AH hopes of securing a big-name
coach appeared to have failed
and it became evident today that
authorities at the University of
California at Los Angeles would
select either Line Coach Ray
Richards or local high school
mentor. Bert LaBrucherie as
head football coach.
With the withdrawal of Lav
rence . Timothy (Buck) Shaw,
who was heavily favored by
Bruin alumni for the Job, Grad
uate Manager William C. (Bill)
Ackerman found himself with
few if any big time candidates
acceptable to the various fac
tions. Shaw backed out of the
picture last week when he and
UCLA officials were unable to
reach an agreement on salary.
Meanwhile, Bob Waterfield
veteran UCLA back and a big
star in the Shrine gnme, was
considered likely to be named
assistant coach under either
Richards or Labrucherie.

Excerpts from the report fol

"Since January 1, 1940, our
net telephone increase has to
taled 640,223 telephones, or

Our net telephone increase for
1944 was only 19,853 telephones,

the 1943 net increase of 187,002
telephones, the highest on rec
