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.

PCC Has
Unity Despite
Penalties
Santa Barbara, Calif. (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.

Beat Ashland
Hedrick Junior high ninth and
eighth graders won and the
seventh graders lost Friday in
basketball hassles with Ashland.
The ninth graders took their
games 39 to 21 and the eighth
was victor by 39 to 27. Seventh
grade final tally favored Ashland
29 to 26 in overtime.
Hornet ninth led at all inter
missions, 10 to 2, 21 to 8, and
30 to 15. Steve Gray of Ashland
was the high scorer with 10
tallies, although held to two

John Frohnmayer.
The game was the last in a
Hornet uniform for center Gary
McGill who moved to Grants
Pass on Saturday. McGill, a 14-year-old,
6-foot, 170 pound honor
student, likely will be seen short
ly in a Cavekid uniform.
Hedrick's eighth also had the
advantage at the breathers, 14

Monroe of the Hornets was top

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
