SiigTi Jdc 'Cats Dick Smith, the All-American athlete who can do just about as he pleases on a basketball court, and his cousin, Allen, were the big guns, as expected in the triumph. But, when the Pirates would concentrate on them, the other smaller men would come through with points, fashioning a team triumph over the southern division champs. Phoenix just couldn't zero In to the field goal range in the first quarter. The Pirates failed to get field buckets in that ses sion and they frequently lost the ball in their efforts to set up for shots. At the end of the period Glide was in'front 20 to 4. Second stanza was the Pirates' best in efforts to match stride with the Wildcats. Each club got seven field goals over that stretch but two free shots gave Glide 18 to 14 edge for the period. Halftime score was 36 to 18. Glide went to a lead of 55 to 30 in the third canto after a " 10 ju coimi in ine iounn. Phoenix fought up to 59 to 38.

The fairway followers who fill their" wallets with a wedge are quick to tell you that such ancients" as Ben Hogan and Sam Snead still are the ones to beat in the major tournaments looming just ahead. Don't laugh. Because the 45-year-old De maret demonstrated conclusive ly that there's still plenty of life in the old guard as he won the Baton Rouge Open. Beating back the challenge of 28-year-old ' Peter Thomson he admitted gaily that he was "hitting the ball better than ever." Ordinarily you might be able to pass this off as just one of those things. But you can't. Be cause this Dcmaret's second vic tory on the winter tournament trail against as fine a young crop of competitors as the pro tour ever has attracted. Just a few weeks ago. Rainbow Jim took the Thunderbird Invitation. The young guys did begin to crowd into the act, 25-year-old Bill Casper winning at Phoenix, 27-year-old Dow Finsterwald at Tucson, and 27-year-old Arnold Palmer at Houston. But in addi tion to Demaret's pair of vic tories the Caliente Open went to Ed Furgol, who is moving in on 40. The sprouts must be uneasy as they contemplate the fact Income Tax Day Is Coming Up Fast!

Gary Wagner col lected 11 points for Glide. Gary Simmonds was top gunner for Phoenix with 10 counters, all on field goals. While Phoenix went without Doints from the field in the first quarter, Glide hit eight shots in 13 tries. The Wildcats fired an even 60 per cent from the field in the first half while Phoenix with better goaling in the second quarter had a 29 per cent average. Glide maintained its hot pace through the game for 59 per cent and Phoenix wound up with 34. Meet Madras While Phoenix Was a surprise team in the district finals. Glide has been among the top rated A-2 clubs through most of the season. But the 'Cats will have their hands full in the state tourney opener. They meet Madras, ranked as No. 1 in the class. Despite the Wildcats' high ranking, they were jolted by Phoenix in the opener of the two-of-three play-off series 55 to 48. Then Glide won Satur day 64 to 47.

By JACK CUDDY Sports Writer United Press that Hogan and Snead haven't been making the winter tour. But they have been sharpening their games in preparation for the big ones ahead. The first of these is the Masters. April 4-7, and after that the most coveted championships will be the U.S. Open, the PGA and the World at Chicago. Heroes In Masters There will be a few of the old heroes in the Masters. Tommy Armour, Billy Burke, Ed' Dud ley, Ralph Guldahl, Lawson Lit tle, Tony Manero, Byron Nel son, Johnny Revolta, ,Paul Run yan. Gene Sarazen, Denny Shute, and Craig Wood. None of these probably has the ghost of a chance to win. But you can't say that about such still willing warhorses as Demaret, the 45-year-old Snead and Hogan, who is 43 going on 44. "If you have the desire and you get your game in shape, you always have a chance," explains Snead. Demaret's game, as the young ster will tell you, is red hot. With Hogan and Snead, it's merely a matter of practice. The old guard unquestionably is still in business. Exciting Adventure!

Pro Football Boss Denies 'Big Profits' Washington (U.R) Owner George Preston Marshall of the Washington Redskins denied to day that professional football teams are "making an enormous amount of money." Marshall's unusually calm but vigorous defense of pro foot ball was contained in a letter to Rep. William E. Miller (R NY) who has demanded an in vestigation of pro football. Marshall said Miller's recent statement that National Football league clubs arc making large profits "simply isn't true." The Redskin owner said NFL gross receipts in 1956, including tele vision fees, were less than $9 million even, though it was the biggest year in league his tory. "For 12 franchises," Marshall added, "that is not as much gross business as is done by small de partment stores in the United States. The net profits would be less than $300,000' for the 12 clubs." ' Marshall rejected Miller's pro posal that the NFL should add new teams. He said this would "increase the economic hazards of which we have many and would also bring about a more competitive situation with col lege football." The Washington owner said that of the 360 players selected in the NFL draft, only half of that number report for trials and not more than 60 make the grade.

Kyne, widow of the fabled promoter, has taken over as general manager of Bay Mea dows race track, and if the pari mutuel handle is any criterion, the handsome, middle aged lady executive is bound to be a suc cess. During the first six days of racing at Bay Meadows, despite continual rains, muddy tracks and the fact that the top jockeys and horses still are running at Santa Anita, Bay Meadows twice had million dollar days at the betting windows. "I've been putting in six to eight hours per day at my desk," says Mrs. Kyne, the only lady boss of a major race track in America, "and I don't find the work too hard. Of course, no one ever will replace Bill as a racing ex'ecutive.

(U.R) Al Lopez figured today he will have a better shot at the American League pennant with the White Sox than he did with the In dians because "we have a better defense and speed." "This club isn't going to let in as many runs as Cleveland," Lopez predicted after putting his new club through its spring training paces. "Its defense is much better than I had in Cleve land and there is no compari son either when it comes to speed." As for pitching, Lopez ad mitted the Indians might have "a little edge" but- added "it doesn't figure to be much when NBC tQ Carry NCAA Games New York (U.R) The Nation al Broadcasting Co. has been awarded the rights to carry the NCAA college football "game of the week" series again this year, it was announced today.

Claims Slight Bat Edge The good-natured, smiling Lo pez said he thought that his new and old clubs "are just about equal when it comes to hitting, with perhaps the White Sox hav ing a shade the better of it." He expressed confidence that the White Sox "will be in the running all the way." Mesa, Ariz. (U.R) Bob Rush pointed to a new pair of spec tacles today and predicted they will help the Chicago Cubs find their way out of the National League cellar. "I think they're going to make U5F Needs One Win For NCAA Berth The San Francisco Dons "ain't what they used to be," but to night they can at least earn the right to defend the NCAA bask etball championship they have held for two straight years. The Dons, with an 18-6 record that is a far cry from their per fect 24-0 of a year ago can clinch the California Basketball Asso ciation title and an NCAA tour ney berth by beating runnerup St. Mary's of California in the season finale for each. If they do, the Dons will move into a second-round NCAA tilt at Corvallis, Ore., March 15 aginst the winner of a first- rounder between Idaho State and Texas Western. But, unlike last year when All-Americans Bill Russell and K. C. Jones were on the squad, the Dons won't be the tourney favorites No team ever has won the NCAA crown three years in a row. The path is a little longer for St. Mary's. Trailing the Dons by 6ne full game with a season CBA record of 10 to 3, as opposed to tfSF's 11 to 2 mark, St. Mary's must win tonight's game to force the championship into a sudden death playoff tilt. 117 SO.

"Our first objective is to get out of the cellar this year and I think I can help a lot." The 31-year-old speedballer from Battle Creek, Mich., who had a 13 to 10 record for the Cubs last season, is so enthusi astic that he believes he has a reliance to be a 20-game winner for the first time in his career. Rush's top mark was 17 wins in 1952 and he's won 13 in eacbt of the last three years. Real Goal "No Cub pitcher has won 20 since 1945," Rush said. "It's a real goal to shoot at and one I feel I have a chance to make." Rush pointed out that he aver ages about 235 innings and 27 to 31 decisions a season and rea soned, "considering I -was 17 to 13 in 1952, it's not way out of line to think that I could com. out 20 to 10 in 1957." Rush and Manager Bob Schef fing pointed to the addition of catchers Charley Silvera and Ray Katt as other factors which will help the Cubs quit the cel lar. The Cubs finished six games out of seventh place last season and were 34 games below the .500 mark. K eystoneFund ofCanac!a,L,tcl.
