g an, the hawk of the fairways,
took time out today to explain
a pitch and putt philosophy
which still may carry him to
a record-smashing fifth U.S.
Open golf championship.
Hogan is here to team with
Sam Snead in the 32-nation
International Golf and Can
ada Cup championships the
world series of golf. The lit
tle belter's thoughts are never
too far from the fabulous
Open, which only he, ancient
Willie Anderson and the im
mortal Bobby Jones have
won four times.
"I still think I can win that
big fifth," said the 46-year-old
hawk, whose receding hair
line is overbalanced by his
ever increasing enthusiasm.
There are three reasons,
Hogan frankly admits, why
the cards are conceivably
stacked against him. These
are, the physical drain of ad-

TV idol Chico Vejar is back
with the old master and ready
to lick the world.
The old master is none oth

many fighters, including
Rocky Marciano, to the top
and near-top.
Vejar, a Stamford, Conn.,
Resident, showed tin effects
of Goldman's handling again
Monday night with a TKO
win over rising teen-age mid

suburban Newton. It was the
19-year-old DeNucci's first de

INCREASE NIGHT GAMES
Boston - (UPD - The Boston
Red Sox will play 24 night
tramps next season, five more
than last year, according to
the home schedule released
today.
DOUBTFUL PERFORMERS
New York (CPU Halfback
Alex Webster and tackle Roo
sevelt Brown, are listed today
as "doubtful performers" for
the New York Giants' next
game against the Washington
Redskins Sunday. Webster
still is limping from an injured
right ankle. Brown still is suf-
vancing age, the demands on
the nervous system and the
fact that he doesn't play
enough tournaments to be
come hardened to the tempo
of competitive golf.
Depends On Enthusiasm
Yet, in the same breath,
Ben will explain convincing
ly how he feels-that he per
sonally can cope with any or
all of them "as long as I can
keep my enthusiasm up."
He insists it's the nervous
system which gives you the
most trouble. But Ben empha
sizes that everybody who is
making a run at it in the
Open feels that nervous strain
-on top of which in the Open
they rig the courses with deep
rough and narrow fairways.
Considering the third fac-tor-the
fact that he doesn't
play enough tournaments
Ben feels that it would be
easier for him if he could play
Open courses in the few
weeks before the event.
"Next year, I'll play in the
Seminole, the Masters, the
Colonial and the Open, with
possibly Greenbrier thrown
in," he says. "To all intents
and purposes, it isn't enough
tournament golf . to get me
mentally ready."
Must Be Mean
"You have to be mean and
tenacious when you go after
something like the Open,"
says Ben, his eyes glistening
like chips of diamonds. "You
can't be nice or placid or
you'll get your brains knock
ed out."
"Yet," he added, "the kind
of courses they play coming
up to the Open doesn't do you
any good. They are wide open
and in most cases too easy to
prepare you properly for an
Open-type course. But every
body is wearing the same shoe
and I still think that with all
factors taken into considera
tion I'll still win it a fifth
time.
You can't argue with Ben
about that. He won it in 1948
and then came back from a
near-fatal accident that win
ter to take it again in 1950 at
Merion in his most satisfying
victory. Ben won it again in
1951, finished third in 1952,
and recaptured the crown in
1953.
"I thought I had it won in
1954," Hogan says of the year
Jack Fleck beat him in an up
set playoff. And then there
was that missed putt at Roch
ester in 1956 which left him
a disconsolate second again. 1
"But I'll be around next
June at Winged Foot," Ben
declared.
And you can bet on that.

OSC Seeking Third Title

Portland-ICPD-Coach Tommy
Prothro will be seeking an un

pionship at Oregon State Sat
urday when the Beavers clash
with Oregon's mysterious
Webfoots in their 62nd
meeting.
Oregon State won the PCC
title two seasons ago and tied
with Oregon last season. A
victory for the Beavers Satur
day coupled with a California
loss to Stanford would assure
Oregon State of at least a tie.
If this should happen and
should Washington upset
Washington State the Beavers
would have the title outright.
If WSC should win the Cou

Bears Could Settle It
California could settle the
title and Rose Bowl picture
without question by beating
Stanford as it would have
only one defeat. But the Gold
en Bears have played one less
PCC game than Oregon State
and WSC and a California
loss paired with OSC and
WSC wins would put the Rose
Bowl situation in a muddle
that would be settled by the
conference voting.
Thoughts of the Rose Bowl
were far from Prothro's mind
today as he put his injured
Beavers through a workout
behind closed gates at Cor
vallis. Tackle Ted Bates and guard
Sonny Sanchez were suffering

end Don Thiel was in the in

fullback Jim Stinnette's arm

shoulder from an earlier dis
location.
Ducks Are Due
Scout Bob Zelinka who
watched Oregon Saturday
said Oregon could have won
all five of the games it has
lost "with a little luck." The
Ducks, who have out-statis-ticked
nearly every opponent,
have been unable to muster a
scoring punch most of the
season.
In fact Oregon has scored
but three touchdowns in its
last five games. The Beavers
are afraid Oregon is due to
break loose. Defensively Ore
gon has given up but 48
points in eight games, one of
the lowest marks in the coun
try. 1
In addition to title hopes,
Prothro will be trying to keep
alive his record of not having
lost a home game in four sea
sons as coach. The closest he
has come to losing at home
was a 14-14 tie with Oregon
here two seasons ago.
And John Clarke, the man
who kicked the two extra
points for OSC that day is on
the other side of the field
now, playing for Oregon.
Over the years Oregon has
won 29, Oregon State 24 and
there have been 8 ties.
