Olympic Course Setup Favors Golfers With Long Shots Off Tees Med UNI San Francisco (U.R) A long, straight hitter off the tee will win the 1955 U.S. National Open Golf tournament. That's what Ben Hogan, who has accomplished the feat four times, said today, after looking over the fog-soaked fairways that limit ball roll to a very few feet. Getchell Out San Francisco (U.R) The United States Golf association has announced the following substitutions in the playing personnel of the 1955 Nation al Open starting Thursday at the Olympic club: Bill Fritz, Millbrae, Calif., recently replaced Lloyd Man arum. Apple Valley. Calif. James Wilbert, Burlingama, Calif., replaced amateur Phil Getchell, Stanford, Calif. The USGA said Mangrum, who finished in a tie for third in the National Open last year, did not have to qualify. There fore the place he vacated was allocated to the San Francisco area. In the other case, Getchell -withdrew and Wilbert replac . d him as an alternate from that section. In the field of 162 who will tee off in the big event on Thurs day, there are only a half dozen long, straight hitters.. Six in Class Fellow professionals consider Mike Souchak, Sam Snead, Ho gan, Dr. Cary Middlecoff, Ed Furgol and Byron Nelson in that class. If Hogan's prediction holds true, that will limit the men who have possibilities of winmg. "To win this one," said Ho gan, "it will take a long, straight hitter off the tee. That's where the championship will be won of the tee." Young Al Mengert, playing out of Mamaroneck, N.Y., who qualified automatically because he finished high up in last year's competition, amplified Hogan's statement. "There isn't a possible chance of a scrambler winning this tour nament," he said. "Every little mistake costs at least a stroke on this course." Not Much Roll The Olympic club course mea sures only 6700 yards long, but it plays longer than most 7200 yard courses, because there is no chance for more than a few feet of roll. The perpetual fog keeps he course wet. There are quite a few straight hitters in the field, who may have trouble getting enough dis tance to have accuracy on their approach shots. These include amateur Harvie Ward, Gene Lit tler and Billy Maxwell. Ward, however, has been playing the course very well, and being a local resident, knows it better than most. Snead, with his booming tee shots, has had four rounds of 70-71-71-68 for an even-par 200. "Man," he smiled after Mon day's two-under-par effort, "I'd like to be setting back right now letting the rest of the crown try to match that in the Open. The concensus remains that a 284 or 285 will win the coveted crown but Snead, Hogan, Har vie Ward, Nelson and Furgol have been doing somewhat bet ter than this. Hodges Has 7-0 Record In NW Loop By UNITED PRESS Berlyn Hodges of Eugene to day sported a neat 7-0 mark in Northwest league play and the lefty owes it as much to his bat as to his good left arm. Hodges drilled a two - run single in the seventh inning last night to help Eugene to a 4-3 decision over Salem. On the pitching side, he allowed Salem a single run in the first, and was nicked for a two-run homer by Bill Shields in the seventh but that was all. Nap Gully had a big night in a losing cause as Lewiston tripped Spokane 12-4. Gully ho mered in the fourth with the bases empty and parked another one out of the premises in the seventh with two runners aboard to account for all of Spokane's runs. Benton Nabs Fourth Lewiston, however, got one run in the first and added six more in the fourth with the aid of a three-run homer by Joe Riney to salt it away. Jim Ben ton went all the way to notch his fourth decision of the year. Wenatchee moved three games out in front of second - place Salem with a 6-5 verdict over Yakima. Tne eventual winning run crossed in the eighth on Bob Duretto's double and Herb An derson's single. - '- Yakima tallied two in the sev enth, one in the eighth and two in the ninth before winning pitcher John Morrill put out the fire.
