They all know Hogan's golf. But not even Ben can be sure his legs will withstand the challenge of the .younger guard closing in on him or even that of the ever-flaring hopes of 47-year-old Sam &ead, who was four strokes off the pace. -Denied Ho Tixod Hogan shot what he called "as good a nine as I ve ever played" in the 20-mile an hour wind which whipped the toueh west course of the WJnged Foot .Golf Course Thursday when he played the front nine three under par. He denied he tired on the second nine, but it looked that way when he bogeyed the 18th hole by three putting from 35 feet. "Funny thing, I'm back on putting," Hogan said. "But it aure didn't look like it on that 18th." ' Ben had three birdies thanks to his putter, on that front nine but he had two bo- World Records Could Tumble Pomona, Calif.

Preliminaries in s p r i n ts, hurdles, field events and mid dle distance competition were slated today with the finals on tap for tomorrow. The Kansas Jayhawkers, with one of the best and cer tainly the largest squad in the meet at Cornhusker Stadi um here, were favored to win the 1959 team title. San Jose State, Oregon and Michigan were given the best chances of upsetting the Kansans. Southern California,' 1958 champion, was ruled ineligi ble to compete by the NCAA. Returning in dividual champions included Elias Gil bert of Winston-Salem, N.C., Teachers in the feigh hurdles. Gilbert led his team to the NAIA .small college track championship last week.

Big Don Drysdale 5-5, will try emulating teammate John ny' Podres' spectacular 2-hit effort when he takes the mound tonight against Harvey Haddix 4-4. Manager Walt Alston de cided to shuffle the lineup Thursday to see if Los An geles couldn't start produc ing some hits. He tabbed Don Demeter, Gil Hodges and Don Zimmer to take over for Ron Fairly, Norm .Larker and Maury Wills. The fresh threesome pouna A ed tout six hits good for six runs, witn Demeter accounx ing for five of the runs on two homers and four hits in five times at bat.

Ed Collymore of Villanova hoped to defend his 220 title, but pulled a muscle last week and appeared a doubtful start er for tonight's trial heats. This enhanced the chances for San Jose State, which needed 30 points or so from their sprint.duo of Rap Nor ton and Bob Poynter if the Spartans hoped to upset Kan sas. Alex Henderson of Arizona State, defending two -mile champion, was picked to win the three-mile event this year. But he had not shown up at last call and reports from Tempe, Ariz., were that he was too ill to make the trip.

"I've been approached to take the job left vacant when Tippy Dye resigned to take over at Wichita," said Ne well.
