Tommy Bolt Wins U. S. Open
With 72-hole Total Tally of 283
Tulsa, Okla. (UPI)
Jut-jawed Tommy Bolt, a
once thunderous club thrower
who got golfing religion,
reached the end of the fair
way rainbow Saturday when
he calmly battled par and
pressure to win the U.S. Open
Golf championship.
While more than 40 of the
gasping 20,000 people who
merely watched him collap
sed in the 95 degree heat that
blistered the torurous hills
and valleys at Southern Hills
country club, the 39-year-old
one-time carpenter hammered
together rounds of 69 one
under par and 72 for a
winning 72-hole total of 283
which swept him into the
golfing history books.
It was the payoff on a new
found self control for the man
known as "thunder" who just
a year ago returned to the
tournament trail because his
club job was a failure. But
the handsome Oklahoman got
even Saturday before the
home folks as he picked up
$8,000 first money and cap
tured the greatest prize in
American golf. ,
When it was all over on the
wooded acres where the Creek
Indians not too many years
ago pitched their teepees, Bolt

TIGERS SIGN ROOKIES
Detroit (UPI) Jack

ence third baseman from Au
burn, and John. Otis of Dart
mouth have been signed by
the Detroit Tigers. Crouch hit
.310 for Auburn this year
while Otis hit .351 for Dartmouth.
wound up four shot on top
of Gary Player. The '22-year-old
South African, Trsznt, to
become the first foreign win
ner since Ted Ray in 1920,
had a final round 71 for 287.
Third came Julius Boros,
the 1952 champion who Bolt
feared the most, with a 71 for
287. Gene Littler, whose
morning 33-34 67 was the
tournament's best round, clos
ed with a 76 for 290. Far back
at 291 came Bob Rosburg and
Wally Burkemo with Don Jan
uary at 293. Frank Stranahan,
only two shots back as the
two final rounds started,
wound up at 294 along with
Ben Hogan as the "little ice
man" had a 75-71 to blow his
chances for a record fifth vic
tory. It was Bolt all the way in
the big one. He led at the end
of the first round with a 71
tied by Julius Boros and
Dick Metz. At the end of the
second round, he was in front
with another one over par 71,
good for a one-shot edge on
South African Gary Player.
And, while the rest of them
tumbled, going into the final
round he was on top by three i
shots with a third round 36-33
69 total.
Making a run at him was
young Gene Littler, whose
third round three under par
33-34 67 was the hottest of
the tournament as the Cali
fornia blond strove to end the
four years of frustration he
has known since finishing one
shot back of Ed Furgol in
1954.
But it wasn't to be for Lit
tler.
Bolt sauntered through the
scorching sunshine, talking
easily with the sportswriters
he had "needled" the day be
fore, and methodically pound
ed out a one over par 36 on
the front side of the final
round. Littler meanwhile
blew to a 39 and with only
nine holes to go stood six
shots back.
The gap was too great and
Bolt was too determined.
Young Gary Player of
South Africa fell five shots
off the pace as he carded a
morning 75 while Stranahan
slipped eight strokes behind
with a 75.
Ben Hogan, seeking a rec
ord fifth win, had a 38-37
75 for a 223 which was well
out of it.
Thus, as they went out for
the final 18 holes before a
gasping gallery of 11,000
broiling fans, it boiled down
to a fight between the man
they still call "thunder" de
spite his temperamental ref
ormation and the poker-faced
Littler who missed a putt
on the final green in 1954 to
lose this same title to Ed
Furgol.

(Gets trouble Wln
Dm NCAA Track
Berkeley, Calif (UPI)
Rugged Ron Delany of Ireland
and Villanova, completed one
of the great "doubles" in track
and field history Saturday
when he won the mile and
half mile races in the NCAA
championships.
Even though Glen Davis of
Ohio State set a new "world
mark of 45.7 in the 440, De
lany stole the hearts of the
16,000 fans who cheered
every bob of his head in both
races.
Delany won the mile with
a Silky Sullivan-like, come-
from behind finish at 4:03.5, a
new NCAA record. He toured
the 880 in 1:48.6, coming from
last place in the nine-man
field with 200 yards to go.
As the Irishman hit the tape
the crowd was on its feet to
give him a thunderous ovation
which lasted about three min
utes. Delany, his sides heav
ing, smiled and gave a wave
of his hand in acknowledge
ment. The only other time in the
37-year history of this meet a
runner captured both the mile
and half mile crowns was in
1945 when Ross Hume of
Michigan turned the trick.
Alex Henderson, an Aus
tralian competing for Ari
zona State at Tempe, set a
new American record in the
two mile run when he was
clocked in 8:46.3. The recog
nized U. S. mark was 8:49.6,
set by Horace Ashenfelter of
the New York Athetic club in
1955.
Davis was pressed for all
but the final 20 yards by Ed
die Southern of Texas in the
sizzling quarter mile. 1
Davis ran in lane 8, while
Southern was in lane 4. They
stayed even in. their staggered
lines until they hit the head of
the stretch. Then the power
ful Buckeye pulled steadily
ahead and Southern barely
hung on for second place with
a clocking of 46.5. Third fin
isher Jack Herman of Cali
fornia was timed in 46.6 and
Ivan Rodriguez of Puerto
Rico was clocked in 46.8 for
fourth place.
The race was run on a two
turn track and cracked the
World mark of 45.8 set by Jim
Lea of USC on a one turn
track at Modesto, Calif., in
1956.
Don Bowden set the pace
for the first three quarters in
the mile, with Delany at times
running as far back as ninth
place and 30 yards back. But
midway in the final lap Gale
Hodgson of Oklahoma . and
Jim Grelle of Oregon over
took the tiring pacesetter. It
was at this point that Delany
turned on the steam.
The Villanova star first
caught Bowden but he was
still 10 yards behind Hodgson
and Grelle, who were run
ning neck and neck at the far
turn. But while the two lead-

plodded past them at the
head of the stretch and won
going away.
The old NCAA mark was
4:03.7 set by Wes Santee of
Kansas in 1953.

the right field seats Saturday
to give the Philadelphia Phil
lies a 3-2 victory over San
Francisco and drop the Giants

inning then surrendered the
homerun ball to Hemus. Marv

and third innings but Stan
Lopata, playing his first game
since he was beaned last Sun
day by Larry Jackson of the
Cardinals, clubbed a two-run
homer in the fourth inning to
tie the score.
That blow, which followed
a single by Rip Repulski,
started McCormick on the way
out. Monzant relieved him
after the young southpaw had
walked Wally Post and given
up a single to Harry Ander
son. The attendance for today's
game was 16,363, which swell

FISH COUNTED Art Besaw, Oregon Game commission em
ployee, tallies salmon as it crosses flashboard at Gold Ray
dam counting station. All upstream moving adult steelhead
and Chinook and silvers almon are tallied according to spe
cies and size. Counter must not take his eyes from the board
when gate at right side of window is open. From the tabula
tions the fisheries division determines annual trends and
spawning escapement and correlate this date with studies
of catch from the river system.
count plan has been used, one day and in the afternoon
Fish are tabulated during cer
tain periods of the day each
day. A formula of the Oregon
State college statistics depart
ment is applied to compute
the total. This sample count
has proved within 0.58 per
cent of error.
Present tally man is Arthur
Besaw, Eagle Point. His sta
tion is a small hut on the fish
ladder. The ladder at the hut
is racked off with a grill ana
gate. At the bottom of the
gate there is a white-painted
flashboard. When the gate is
raised and the fish are per
mitted to swim over the
board, they are tabulated
through a window in the side
and bottom. There is a rule
that the tallier must not take
his eyes off the flashboard
when the gate is open.
Count is separated as to spe
cies and size.
Besaw currently makes
count during the morning on
of the next. Fish at Gold Ray
do not move at night and the
gate is closed during hours of
darkness.
Chinooks move up the lad
der April through September,
reaching their peak in June.
Summer steelhead run is late
April to Nov. 15 and winter
steelhead Nov. 16 until mid
May. Silvers start their run in
November, straggling some
time into January.
A number of game commis
sion employees have started
their careers at the station at
Gold Ray. Harvey Cassman,
Central Point, retired several
years ago after 15 years. Bert
Peck, who recently retired as
foreman at the Central Point
screening shop, worked first
at the counting job.
Operation of the counting
station is not open to view by
the public because it is locat
ed in the switch yard of the
California Oregon Power com
pany which uses the dam to
generate electricity.
