Art Wall, Ken Venturi Tie In Thunderbird By HAL WOOD United Press. Sports Writer Palm Springs, Calif. (U.P; Art Wall, a seasoned professional from Pocono Manor, Pa., looked adversity in the face Saturday, then came back with one of the two miracles of golf to tie young Ken Venturi of San Francisco for the 54-hole lead in the $15, 000 Thunderbird Invitational Golf tournament. Wall took a horrendous four-over-par nine on the third hole after bogeying the second to go five over par. Then he finished with a one-under-par 70. Venturi, the starting profes lional with two months experi ence, also shot a 70 and the two broke from the five-way lead jam of Friday to go in front with a 204 score. Lot of Trouble Battling winds all arouna the course, the 43 professionals in this exclusive tournament ran into a lot of trouble Saturday and balls out of bounds were about a dime a dozen. Jackie Denies Campanella 'Washed-Up' Chicago (U.R) Jackie Robin son denied Saturday he ever said that his former Brooklyn teammate, Roy Campanella, was "washed up" and said he was "sorry that Roy popped off." "I have no argument with Campy and I don't want one," Robinson said. The Negro star, who bowed out of baseball recently, made the denial in a statement at Chicago's Midway airport as he changed planes for a flight to San Francisco. He said a news story quoting Campanella was called to his attention Friday night in St. Louis. The story, Robinson said, "said among other things that I had expressed the opinion that Roy was washed up. "I have never made such a statement," Robinson said. "I have said, in response to a re porter's inquiry, that the Dodgers were understandably concerned as to whether Roy's hand had completely recovered from last year's operation. "Camphy is also quoted as saying that our relationship had 'cooled off' over the past few years," Robinson said in his pre pared statement. "Absolutely no good would be served by my saying why it 'cooled.' I have no argument with Campy and I don't want one." Dickens Has Grid Plans Chicago U R New coach Phil Dickens plans plenty of dipsydo in Indiana's offense next fall, but it will be strictly in the backfield. Dickens, who quit Wyoming to try to boost the Hoosiers. planned the same type attack that he used with Cowboys, and he had no hesitancy in outlining the plan at the annual Old Tim ers banquet in Gary, Ind., Fri day. "We use zone blocking in the line," he said, "although we spread the linemen a bit. Then we flank one halfback to either side, and we can put him way out or in close." Dickens, although he said he was hardly acquainted with the Hoosier's major problems, said he was able to pinpoint his one big job. "Recriting? There's no com parison with what you have in this league and what you have at Wyoming. The kids here are much bigger and there's a lot more of them." Aussie Swimmer Has Improvement Melbourne (UR) Doctors credited John Marshall's "mag nificent fighting spirit" "to a sliaht improvement in his con dition Saturday but the 26-year old Australian swimmer still faced an uphill battle to sur vive a severe head injury. Marshall's chances of recov ering from the injury he suffer ed when his car overturned fol lowing a blowout on Friday j were increased from CO to 50 j per cent since he was transfer- j red to the Royal Melbourne hos- ' pital Friday, physicians point ed out. I Such straight shooters as Wall, J Dr. Cary Middlecoff, Arnold i Palmer (2j, and George Baylor : all took penalty strokes. The battle was still close, how- ever. Right behind Wall and Ven turi, each with 205 scores, came Billy Maxwell of Odessa. Tex., Middlecoff and Julius Boros. And at 206 were such shotmakers as ! defending champion Jimmy De ! maret, Doug Ford and Mike Sou ' chak. ; But the story was Wail. He had won the pro-amateur end of this event Friday, shooting 36 holes without a bogey. Then Saturday he three-putted the second hole for his first over- ' par figure. I That set the stage for his big ! blow-up on the third. With a j strong cross wind blowing, he attempted to compensate off the i tee and hooked the ball out of ; bounds. He allowed for this on 1 the next shot and this time fad ed out of bounds. The third was j right down the middle and from then on he was a sensa tion. Instead of giving up, he start ed gambling and it paid off. "I probably wouldn't have played that well if I hadn't got into that trouble on the third," he said. He was out in 38, back in 32 for his 70. Venturi was more consistent. He went the front nine in two-under-par 34, returned in 36. He had birdies on the second and fifth holes on the front side, then took a bogey four on the 14th for his only miscue of the day. Boros blew a chance to re main in the deadlock when he stubbed a shot coming to the 18th green, then had to tank a seven-foot putt for a bogey-five. At the 207 mark came Stan Leonard, Vancouver, B. C, and at JOB were Gardiner Dickinson Panama City Beach. Fla., who had the best round of the day. a 67.

(UR) The student body leaders at the six campuses of the University of California, including UCLA. California, Santa Barbara, Davis, Riverside and Lo Jolla, Satur day, agreed that unity exists among the university branches despite the bitter Pacific Coast conference squabble over ath letic penalties. The 120 delegates of the Cali fornia club wound up a three day convention on the local campus. A resolution adopted unan imously said the club "affirms the mutual sympathy and under standing which exists between beiween the leaders of the stud ent bodies of all the campuses with regard to intercollegiate athletics." The resolution blamed "mis understanding" and "unfortunate frictions" concerning PCC deci sions on "inadequate informa tion' hasty generalizations and actions by persons outside the university family." UCLA student body president Willard Johnson presided. Injury Hurts Hood's Hopes Melbourne, Australia (U.R1 Lew Hoad, who dreamed of a grand slam of the world's four major tennis titles that would iead to a S100.000 pro contract, failed in the first of his quests Saturday because of a back in jury that may sideline him for months. Hoad, attempting to cover up a back ailment so painful he could not even put on his own shoes before the match, was de feated in the semifinals of the Australian championship by his best friend. Ncagle Fraser, 7-5, 3-6. 6-1. 6-4. Neither the officials nor the gallery at Kooyong Stadium were aware of Hoad's agonized condition, because he gave o signs of distress as he bowed to 23-year-old Fraser. Fraser knew, however, for he had tried to help Hoad by mas saging his back before the match. MIBL STANDINGS W.

Seattle 0J.PJ Doug Smart and Bruno Boin, the one - two punch for the University of Washington Huskies, proved too hard to handle for visiting Ore gon State college Friday night as the Huskies topped the Beavers, 64-53. in a ball game before 9, 000 fans. Washington pulled to an early but slim lead in the first half and managed to hang on to a one to four point margin with terrific defensive play. In the last several minutes of the first half, the Huskies hit1 a hot streak and pulled to a 35 26 lead at intermission. Lead Cut to Three At the opening of the second period Oregon State tabbed six quick points to cut the Wash ington margin to only three points. But that was the closest the scrappy Beavers could get. Smart captured high point honors for the night with 22 points on nine field goals and four free throws. Boin, with his hook shot missing, got 11 of his 17 points from the free throw line. Bob Allord was the big gun in the Oregon State attack with 16 points, 10 of them free throws. Dave Gambee scored points, all in the first half Oregon State and fouled out the second half.
