a two under par 34-34-68 which

Just last week end, this 29-year-old
bespectacled ball buster
was ready to give up tourna
ment golf. His wife Carolyn,
talked him Into giving it "Just
ona more try." So, dispiritedly,
he came to Oak Hill Country
Club and bumped into Jackson
Bradley, a pro friend from Tex-
"Bradley straightened me
out," Rosburg glows. "I can't
hardly believe it, but I sure am
(lad I came."
There are a number of
schools of thought regarding
that. Because the guys who gal
lop over the greens don't think
he's much of a golfer and yet
they regard this six-foot, 190
po under as a real threat because
he's not a "worrier."
They don't think much of him
because he has a baseball grip
and his swing has all the aspects
of a department store manne
quin. "Never mind my swing," says
Rosburg. "The real artistry of
golf is in those short chip shots
and putts."
That's for sure. The man
whose father started him swing
ing a club at two and who
scored a hole in one at seven be
fore going on to play with Stan
ford's NCAA championship
team had nine one-putt greens
Thursday. That permitted him
to score 16 pars and two birdies
which, whether he looks like
Harry Vardon or a mechanical
blacksmith, is a lot of golf.
Rosburg had his heart set on
being a ball player and was a
second baseman good enough to
attract pro offers.
"I felt I was too slow to reach
any real heights in pro baseball
so I passed them up," he ex
plains. After graduating, Rosburg, a
quarter-finalist in the 1947 U.S.
amateur championship, tried his
hand at selling automobiles and
working in a clothing store. In
1953 he took a pro job in Chi
cago and finally hit the tourna
ment trail in 1954. Swiftly he
won at Brawley and Stockton,
in California, and after going
home because of homesickness,
drove across country to win the
Miami Open.

Counting Voices
Solves Problem
Of Woodcocks
Washington (U.R) Fish and
Wildlife Service census-takers
have solved the unique problem
of counting the nation's wood
cocks the birds with the
built-in rear view mirrors. They
simply count their voices. '
One of the features of the
wood cock is that its eyes are
placed so that it can keep a look
out to the rear while it has its
bill in the ground searching for
food. The rear-view vision helps
protect the bird from its ene
mies, but it also makes it hard
to keep track of.
The census is called a "sing
ing ground count" and is taken
by counting the voices of the
male birds during the mating
season. To take its survey the
service has enlisted the aid of
wildlife fanciers in states where
the bird abounds. ;
The survey is being taken
around sundown when the male
birds usually sing for one-half
to three-quarters of an hour. The
census-takers walk along three
to four-mile routes which run
through choice woodcock lands.
The counters stop at stations
which are laid out approximate
ly half a mile apart.
At each station they give ex
actly two minutes of listening
time and record the number of
male birds singing there. The
same routes and stops will be
used each year and the varia
tions in the number of recorded
birds each year will indicate
trends in breeding population,
the service said.
Since the woodcock is a mi
gratory bird, the count is taken
at different times in different
areas. The time also varies from
year to year, depending on sea
sonal variations.
While the woodcock is a wood
land bird, it belongs to the same
family of shore birds as snipes
and sandpipers. It is highly priz
ed among hunters, and the Wild
life Service says about a quarter
million of the birds are taken
each year.
