Rookie Golfer Fires 65 Round Sioux City, Iowa (U.PJ Par- smashing professionals and low scoring amateurs swept into the second round of the $15,000 Sioux City Open golf tourna ment Friday with a rookie's first-round 65 setting the pace. Al Besselink, 28, New Jersey native registered from Escondi do, Cggf., tallied Thursday's low score yith a 34 on the first nine and a' 'sizzling 31 on the back stretch. It was seven under par. . The Elmwood golf course was fairly taken apart as Besselink, playing his first year on the big money circuit, carded four straight birdies on the inside nine. With little concern for a brisk wind, free-swinging pros broke par mercilessly in the first round. Two others shot 67's. Five shot 68's, and six tallied for a total of 14 who did the 18 holes under 70. W i. n : m .7- Change to an old-time brew! acme TO m& V Star Hurler Shows Worth As Batsman San Francisco U.R) Pinky Woods has reason to fancy him self . a competent pitcher. And Friday he joked with his Holly wood teammates about his prow ess as a hitter. Chunky Pinky pitched a medi ocre nine-hitter for his 10th vic tory Thursday night as league- leading Hollywood posted a 5-3 decision over hapless Sacra mento. But the side-arming right hander's best showing was made at the plate. Slugs Homer Woods had only one hit in four trips. But what a hit! It came in the second inning with two men on and sailed out of the Holly wood ball park. Nor could the homer be called entirely a fluke. Woods had hit one earlier in the season. Second-place Oakland stayed two games behind the Stars by winning a 4-3 game from San Francisco in 10 frames. Seal shortstop Don Alfano transgress ed on a routine grounder with two out and the bases full in the 10th, costing his mates the game. Bevos Dumped San Diego, which used to win regularly, broke a monotonous habit of losing to pound Port land, 6-3. Bevo pitcher Larry Ward committed a twoJut error in the fifth which opened door to four Padre runs. In a pitcher's twin bill, Los Angeles and Seattle split. Rainier Al Widmar curved a three-hitter in the seven-panel opener and got a 6-0 victory. And Calvin Coolidge McLish pitched the 12 inning nightcap, securing a 2-1 victory on Leon Brankopf's tie- breaking two-bagger. Whitfield Bids for Two Olympics Medals; U. S. Men Lead in Decathlon O MM MM! MCWtaif M Amateur Athletes Eat Like Pros at Olympics Games Helsinki (U.R) Eating hon ors have been evenly divided so far in the Olympics' free-style gorging championships. All 5,780 athletes of the 69 competing nations ostensibly are amateurs but they dig in like seasoned professionals each day at the call, "Come and get it!" Here is what this hungry con gress of whipcord and muscle consumes each day: 5,750 pounds of potatoes and 3,500 pounds of meat along with 6,000 eggs; 2,000 quarts of milk, 2,000 cans of fruit juice, 1,000 pounds of rice (Japanese compe titors brought their own supply), 750 pounds of tomatoes, 500 pounds .of . fresh vegetables, 2,500 pounds of fresh fruit, 350 pounds of salad, 1,500 pounds of bread in addition to 1,500 loaves flown daily from a Los Angeles bakery for the U. S. contingent. 6,000 cups of ice cream, 250 pounds of coffee and 100 pounds of tea. Even serving the athletes strictly an amateur proposition Finnish organizers enlisted and trained 50 women who teach cooking in girls' schools For pure amateurs, their cook ing has a distinct professional flavor. Helsinki (U.R) Mai Whit field, Columbus, Ohio, carried his bid for two Olympic cham pionships into the finals of the 400-meter dash Friday when he qualified in his semi-final heat. A double title was no cinch for Whitfield, because he could only finish third in the semi final. Art Wint, Jamaica, won the heat and Karl Haas, Ger many, was second. The time was 46.3 seconds for the winner. Whitfield won the 800 meter title earlier this week. Timed in 46.4 Haas was timed in 46.4 sec onds and Whitfield in the same time, 46.4. Gene Cole, Columbus, Ohio, finished fourth in the heat, and was eliminated. This wiped out the 'possibility of a 1-2-3 Ameri can finish in the. final, but that was a remote possibility any way. Whitfield now has run six heats in his two Olympic events and failed to win only two of them. In the semi-finals of the 800 he was second to Gunnar Niel sen of Denmark. Both qualified. the I and in the final Nielsen could do no better than fourth. U. S. hopes for a Whitfield double remained alive, although Jamaicans are the chief choices in this event. The final is sched uled for later today. Only Emil Zatopek, Czech dis tance runner ,has won two championships in the current games. He won the 5,000 and 10,000 meters runs. Wint's winning s e m i-f inal heat time was only one-tenth of a second off the Olympic record of 46.2 set by Bill Carr of fae United States 20 years ago in the 1932 game at Los Angeles.
