Entertain
Big Crowd
The Ail-American Red Heads,
girls basketball quint, playing
Crazy Swayze Friday night,
pleased a capacity crowd at the
junior high gym with an ex
hibition of speed, agility, sharp
passing, varied shooting and
rollicking comedy.
Scoring was incidental but, for
the information of those who
are interested, the Swayze crew
came out in front 51 to 46. The
point making part of the hoop
show was even throughout the
first' half with the lasses on top
23 to 20 at the midway rest.
While the girls at times show
ed an uncanny ability to work
the ball in and had a good eye
for the hoop, then tired in the
second half. The Swayzemen
tried hard to be gentlemen but,
nevertheless, gained leads of 37
to 29 by the third intermission
and 43 to 32 along in the fourth
period.
Sharks Rally
Shorty Red Mason, main come
dian of the Red Heads, crawled
through a teammates legs and
slipped in for a bucket that start
ed off a rally for the gals. They
cut the margin to 43 to 40.
The Mason lass had a pet
trick of' pulling out the shirt
tails of - Referees Jack Burns
and Truman Brown. Near the
end of the fray she took Brown's
chores and nothing that Crazy
Swayze could do was right.
Brown got to shoot a couple
of foul shots for the Red Heads.
He missed them both. The fem
inine arbiter, then had the two
refs perform in a center jump
and had them jumping high with
no ball to jump for.
Red Mason, in an exhibition
of trick shooting, flipped the
ball with a backward kick and
it went over her head and into
the basket. Ginny Morris
bounced the ball off her head
and into the hoop and Mable
Matlock bounced the hll off
her . knee and into the basket.

Putting Wins
In Women's
Golf Tourney
Pinehurst, Jf. C. (U.R) A
pair of early ' leads gained
through dead-eye putting ad
vanced defending champion Pat
O Sullivan of Orange, Conn.,
and 19-year-old Barbara Romack
of Sacramento, Calif., into the
finals of the Women's North and
South Amateur Golf tournament
Saturday. -, .
Miss O'Sullivan won. five of
the first six holes to down Mrs.
H. S. Covington of Orange, S. C,
4 and 2. Miss Romack, consid
ered one of the most promising
of the nation's younger players,
went four up on the first seven
holes to down Mary Agnes Wall
of Menominee, Mich., 4 and 2.
Miss O'Sullivan fumbled at
the start and lost the first hole
of her semifinal with Mrs. Cov
ington, a washing machine dem
onstrator who seldom ventures
more than 100 miles from home
for a tournament.
But on the second hole Miss
O'Sullivan topped in a 35-foot
putt for a birdie three. It started
her on a streak of five winning
holes.
Miss Romack, a tiny girl with
a beautifully timed swing that
reminds many observers of Lou
ise Suggs, was calm in her clutch
match against the far more ex
perienced Miss Wall, sinking a
25-foot putt for a birdie four on
the fourth hole.
By the seventh her lead was
four up. Miss Wall cut the mar
gin to three when she sank a
10-footer for a birdie two on the
ninth.
They halved the next four,
but on the 14th Miss Romack
sank a four-foot putt for a birdie
four to go four up. Miss Wall
was trapped on her second shot
on this hole.
They halved the 15th and the
match was over.

Saturday night's championship

came the first collegian in his
