But his 63. locking him for the lead with Demaret, put him one shot ahead of Doug ford. Julius Boros and young Ken Venturi. They all opened with first round 69s. Une more shot away at 70 were Bud Ward. Billy Joe Patton. Dick Mayer, Billy Maxwell and Bo Wininger. Most everybody in the list, particularly those with a good first round, was more hopeful than when they reported for the start of the tournament be cause the major casualty of the opening day was the man most of them feared worst of all Bantam Ben Hogan. ! Hogan. favored to become the first man to win the Open an unprecedented five times, came down with a chronic neuralgic pain which made it impossible for him to swing. He was given a delayed starting time, darted off to town to see a doctor and receive diathermy treatment, but then had to withdraw. As they moved into today's second round, which will de cide the low 50 and ties who battle it out in Saturday's two final rounds, there were a num ber of others still in contention. Sammy Snead. four times a runner-up but never able to crack ! through, wasn't too happy with his opening 74. Snead Not Out j But you still had to count the Slammer among the possibili ties, along with a group at 71 which included curly-haired Jackie Burke. three-time British Open champion Peter Thomson and defending champion Cary Middltcoff. Within striking distance, too, at 72 we;e such as Harvie Ward, Fred Hawkins. Roberto DiVi cenzo. Jack Klcck and home town hope Fraflkie Stranalian. Gene Littler was at 73, along with long-hitting George Bayer. Ed Oliver and Walt Burkemo shot 74; Ed Furgol. Jerry Bar ber and Shelley Mayfield 75s; Johnny Revolta. Dutch Harri son. Ted Kroll. Arnold Palmer, and George Fazio 76s and. ap parently out of it already, were Lew Worsham and Pete Cooper at 78 and Lloyd Mangrum and Gene Sarazen at 79.
