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

New York U.R Jaunty Jim
my Demaret is par-busting proof
today that Father lime hasn't
yet kayoed the golfing grand
pappies. 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

Dick Smith, with nine field
goals and five free shots, was ,
high scorer for the game with !
23 points. Allen Smith had three
field buckets and seven gifters
lor 13 total. 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

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.

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.

At Bay Meadows
San Mateo, Calif. (U.R) Mrs.
William P. 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. But I'm try

The San Diego, Calif., profes

a four-under men's par 68 in
Monday's final round over the

Miss Wright, who won the
tournament last year with a 294,
finished three strokes ahead of
Marlene Bauer Hagge of Delray

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

If they do, the Dons will move

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

record of 10 to 3, as opposed to

The 31-year-old speedballer

Rush pointed out that he aver
ages about 235 innings and 27
