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.

Hogan, making a drive during a practice tour of the

opined that it looked like a very tough layout
Berg, Suggs Favored
In Round-Robin Play
Grossineer, N. Y. (U.R) De
fending champion Patty Berg
and recently successful Louise
Suggs were the title favorites to
day as a field of 16 star women
golfers teed off in the first round
of the Triangle Round-Robin golf
tournament.
Miss Berg, of St. Andrews, 111.,
who was the leading money win
ner of last season, has shown she
is again at the peak of her game
by winning the St. Petersburg
Open and the Women's Titlehold-
ers tournaments this year.
However, little Miss Suggs of
Atlanta, Ga. also displayed her
good form with a victory last
week in the Women's Eastern
Open at Reading, Pa., also her
second tourney win of the year.

REHEATING KILLS VITAMINS
New York (U.R) Home
economists say frozen vegetables
not only save time in prepara
tion, but also suffer a smaller
loss in vitamins than others dur
ing the cooking. Serve the veg
etables as soon as they're cooked
to save food values. Vitamin C
is lost if the vegetables set or are
re-heated.
