The crazy, mixed-up Caliente
Open finished off its third round
of competition Saturday with
three men tied for first place;
Tommy Bolt fined $100 for
throwing a club, and the book
makers more confused than any
body. After 54 holes of play, Stan
Leonard, the 40-year-old Canada
star; Ed Furgol, lame-armed for
mer national open champion,
and Paul Harney, a 27-year-old
newcomer from Bolton, Mass.,
were in a deadlock for first place
with 209 totals.
And the bookmakers, who had
installed defending champion
Mike Souchak as the favorite,
didn't know which way to turn.
Harney had started the tour
nament as a 35-1 shot: Furgol at
12-1 and Leonard at 20-1.
But Saturday they withstood
the pressure from a flock of the
current big-name stars and ap
peared to be in good position to

Pilots Overcome
Seattle Pacific
Portland U.R) The Univer
sity of Portland scored a narrow
60-56 basketball win over Seat
tle Pacific here Friday night
but not before the underrated
Falcons had made a battle out
of it down to the wire.
Portland led most of the way
but three times Seattle Pacific i
managed to grab a one-point i
lead. The last Falcon advantage j
came early in the second half
but the Pilots were never out j
of danger. j
Loren Anderson led Seattle
Pacific with 14 points. Gene
Kutsch with 12 was high for .

$2,000. .
Leonard had a 69 Saturday
over the Tijuana Country club
course that had been lengthen
ed to 7100 yards; Furgol had a
70 and Harney, the leader at th3
half-way mark slipped slightly
with a 74.
But they were a long way
from making a run-away of it.
Eric Brown, the Scotland star,
came in With a 70 for 210 and
was tied at that mark with Al
Besselink, who had a 74, but is
a tough man to beat when there
is enough money at stake. Al
has been betting on himself with
the bookmakers here and is in
a strong position.
Bolt, fined for club throwing,
became involved in a hassle of
some type with Jackie Burke, the
PGA and Masters champion and
they reportedly made up after
being near to tossing punches
Friday night.
So they both went out Satur
day and clipped par. Bolt came
in with a 70 for a 211 total and
Burke shot a 68 for the same
score. That tied them with Billy
Casper, a young pro from Chula
Vista, Calif., who had a 72.
Still in contention at 212
only three strokes away were
such strong men as Jay Hebert,
Souchak. Doug Ford, Zell Eaton
veteran from Pomona, Calif., and
Bob Duden, Redondo Beach,

And four more men were
deadlocked at 213, John Barn

champion Julius Boros.
Agua Caliente, Mex. U.R)
Tommy Bolt, the bad boy of gr-U,
but chairman of the "good con
duct" committee, Saturday was
fined S100 for club throwing in
the $15,000 Caliente open tour
nament Friday.
Bolt turned himself into tour
nament supervisor Harvey Ray
nor. "Do you owe us any money
under the new fines system for
club throwing?" Raynor asked
Bolt.
"I owe you $100." answered
Bolt.
Under rules put into PGA by
laws this year, "club throwing,
club breaking or unbecoming
conduct on the golf course" by
PGA members results in $100
fine.
Bolt was the first to draw
the assessment which came as
no great surprise.

PREPSTERS GRAPPLE This action was
caught Friday afternoon during the wrestling
match between Medford and Crater high '
schools at the Medford gym. Rick Burns,
Crater High Nicks Tornado
23-22 in Wrestling Match
John German pinned Tom
Merton in the first round of the
final bout yesterday afternoon
to gain the Crater high wrestling
team a 23 to 33 nod over Med
ford. The Comets had to come from
behind in the later stages of the
card here to score their second
win of the season over the Tor
nado grapplers. Medford led 19
to 6 after seven of the 13 count
ing bouts. Crater won the next
four contests. That narrowed
the team score to 19 to 18 but
Tom Morris decisioned Jim
Goldenpenney in the 191-pound
division, to widen the Tornado
margin to 22 to 18.
German, vying at 165 to 168
pounds in the unlimited class
ruckus, had to be victor by a fall
to get the needed five points for
a Crater team verdict. Medford
still would have led had the
match ended in a decision or
draw.
Merton picked up points for
a take down as the tussle open
ed but the advantage quickly
switched to German, a rough
customer, who spent the rest of
the time battling to force Mer
ton's shoulders to the mat. He
succeeds with just seconds left
in the round.
The unlimited mix gave a dra
matic ending to the card and
spectators, particularly from
Crater, swarmed from their
seats and gathered around the
mat.
Two Medford men also pinned
their rivals during the match.
All other victories were by de
cision. In the 97-pound fray Ken
Hedrick 9th, McLouahlin 7th,

McLouehlin Junior High
school cagers took two out of
three conflicts with Hedrick on
the Hedrick courts on Friday.
Hedrick's ninth graders,
breaking away in the second
quarter, subdued the Bulldog op
position 44 to 24. McLoughlin
took the eighth grade scrap 32
to 24 and the seventh grade af
fair 31 to 18.
The Hornets came out on top
5 to 3 in a slow first quarter in
which they stalled for two min
utes against a McLoughlin zone
defense. McLoughlin went to
man-to-man in the second stanza
and Hedrick expanded to 25 to
11. Third quarter score was 34 to
20.
The Hedrick ninth hit its shots
well in the fuss and Jerry An
derson was high in the produc
tion with 15 points. Ray Kono
pasek got 13 for McLoughlin.

McLoughlin zone was more ef

much of the way. Quarter counts
favored the Bulldogs 9 to 3. 15
to 14 and 26 to 19. Bob Quinney
piled up 19 points for Mac and
Dan Sieg had 10 for the Hornets.
George Clearwater's height
and his 24 points and backboard

SMU, 77-68
By UNITED PRESS
The Southern Methodist Mus
tangs are the latest high-ranked
college basketball team to dis
cover that press clippings don't
hold good for enemy floors.
The Mustangs, ranked fourth
in the country last week by the
United Press Board of Coaches
and riding an eight-game victory
streak, suffered their second loss
in 10 games Friday night when
they visited the Texas Longh
horns and bowed, 77-68.
The loss to unranked Texas
left the Mustangs 4-1 Southwest
Conference play.
Texas, using a tight zone de
fense, limited Jim Krebs, South
ern Methodist's top point-maker,
to 15 points in handing the Mus
tangs their first conference de
feat since Feb. 12, 1955.
USLTA Said
'Ostrich-Like'
Chicago (U.R) The president
of the U.S. Lawn Tennis asso
ciation Saturday urged the group
to quit being "Ostrich-like"
about creating a National open.
"We're going to lose control
of the game unless we rapidly
and squarely face the open prob
lem," Renville H. McMann said
in his presidential address.
McMann, reelected president
at the group's 76th annual con
vention Saturday, said he did not
necessarily advocate an open,
which would mix amateurs with
professionls, but neither did he
agree with those who felt the
USLTA "would los its grasp
on tennis if it allowed an open."
Observers said it was the first
time in the association's history
that official notice of the open
tournament dilemma was taken.
McMann ordered a committee to
explore the problem.
