Jackie Pung Heads by 7 St. Petersburg, Fla. (IP) Jackie Pung of San Fran cisco, a hot golfer on a cold course, teed off with a seven stroke lead in the second round of the fifth annual St. Petersburg Open today.

Point and Glendale at Phoe nix and in Medford Prospect will face St. Mary's. There is considerable in terest in both the Crater-GP and Phoenix-Glendale hassles. Both the Comets of CP and the Cavemen of Grants Pass are in the running for a state tourney berth from District 6 A-l and championship of the Rogue league is the issue at Phoenix. Rogue league vic tor gets the first round bye in the District 6 A-2 southern division tourney. GP Position Best The GP team currently is sitting in the best position for at least the second berth from the Southern Oregon conference in the state meet bracket It now has second place with a 4-4 standing. However, a Friday-Saturday series sweep by Crater would put the cellarite Comets into no less than a knot for second. The two clubs are at GP on Saturday. Crater currently is 3-7. A two-game romp by Grants Pass could fortify the Cavemen much, particularly if the prognosticators' script is followed and Ashland drops two at Klamath. Phoenix can wrap up the Rogue crown with a victory and will have a chance for a league tie if it loses. Glen dale, with a win over Phoe nix would be in a strong position for lone spot at the top, since it is favored over Illinois Valley in its last regu lar season mix. ' Use Tribune Want Acfs The Grants Pass-Crater and Phoenix-Glendale encounters are considered toss ups. Also tonight Eagle Point is at Illinois Valley, Talent at Butte Falls and Medford Jun-'' ior varsity at Rogue River.
