Demaret, who is 45 and was winning in the big time before the 25-year-old Venturi was born, is the defending champion and he shot the finest golf Sunday, a 67, to pull up into the dead lock. It was a dramatic finish to a scrambled race that saw from two to five men tied for the leadership every day; with Ven turi sinking an exceptionally tough 18 foot putt on the 17th hole to tie Demaret, who already had finished; and then Souchak knocked in a 4o-footer on the 18th to join the traffic jam.

Eagle Point still un marred in the loop will go out to protect its status twice on the week end, hosting Glendale on Friday and traveling to meet Illinois Valley at Cave Junction on Saturday.

Pistons Nudge Knickerbockers By UNITED PRESS A last-gasp, 103-102 victory over the New Yrrk Knicks in overtime kept the Fort Wayne Pistons ahead of St. Louis today in the red-hot Western division race in the National Basketball association even as the Boston Celtics turned the Eastern race into a runaway. The Pistons came from behind in the extra session at home Sunday to nip the Knicks when George Yardley paced a surge in the last 90 seconds. The bald ing Yardley took scoring honors in the game with 26 points. The victory kept the Pistons one game ahead of St. Louis, which handed Rochester its 10th straight defeat, 107-83.

Kentucky, the nation's No. 3 team which gained a tie for the Southeastern conference lead by whipping Vanderbilt, 91-83, Saturday night, risks that share tonight when it visits Georgia Tech the school that stunned the court world two years ago by upsetting Kentucky twice. Buckeyes Risk Record Ohio State, Big Ten pacemak er and the nation's No. 10 team, risks its perfect 6-0 league record in a road game against Murchison Makes Clean Dash Sweep f Washington (U.R) The most surprising indoor track season in recent years shifts to Boston this week for the Boston A.A. Games with foot-racing fans wondering when the mile stars will start to shine. The two latest meets, at Phila delphia Friday and here on Sat urday, produced nothing but surprises. Like the continued failure of Laszlo Tabori, the Hungarian four-minute miler who came here rather than return home after the Olympic Games. Tabori finished second in a two-mile in Boston a week ago, third at the same distance Friday, and then dropped out with a "stomach ache" here. Tabori will skip this week's meet and make his next ap pearance in the one mile run in the Millrose Games in New York, Feb. 9, and his coach promised today that Laszlo will be "stronger" for that race. Sime Fails Surprise No. 2 has been the failure of sprint record holder Dave Sime of Duke to win so far. Ira Murchison of Chicago, an Olympian, beat Sime at 50 yards in Philadelphia, at 70 and 80 yards here, and then Sime was disqulaified for three false starts as five-foot-four Ira cap tured the 100 yards dash for a clean sweep. Murchison, pole vault star Rev. Bob Richards of La Verne, Calif., hurdler Lee Calhoun, and runner Tom Courtney of Liv ingston, N.J., were the Olympic team members who did win here. Richards, two-time Olympic vault champion, cleared 15 feet again to win his event. Calhoun, Olympic 110-meter hurdles champion, set a new world in door record of 8.2 seconds for the 70-yard high hurdles. But Courtney's easy victory in the 1,000 yard run was tainted by the absence of Arnie Sowell, his nemesis from Pittsburgh who has beaten him twice this sea son but withdrew to favor an in jured ankle. time, neighbor S2- MS7 Name!

Kentucky Sets Style Kentucky was one of four high-ranked teams playing last Saturday, and set the winning style for the quartet.
