question is the second round
of the U.S. Open golf cham
pionship today was whether
Bantam Ben Hogan's aging
legs could carry him through
four rugged rounds to an un
precedented fifth title.
Dead on his game on - a
course he knows so well, the
46-year-old Hogan fired

Gene Littler, who always has
been rated as another poten
tion Hogan, and Dick Knight,
whose claim to golfing fame is
that he won the Northern Cali

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

front nine three under par.
He denied he tired on the
second nine, but it looked that
way when he bogeyed the

"Funny thing, I'm back on

Newell, who piloted his

said he was "considering" the
proposal.
"I've been approached to
take the job left vacant when
Tippy Dye resigned to take
over at Wichita," said Ne
well. "But .I've been away
from home for a long time and
just got back when this thing
broke. I don't know what to
think."

University of Washington ath

day he has made a firm offer
to University of California

to succeed Tippy Dye as bas
ketball mentor here.
Briggs said he has discussed
the matter with Newell in
general terms, as he has with
Dye and will vAth other
coaches, to get a "clearer pic

He said the coaching posi
tion is. still wide open and
that there are no outstanding
candidates and that no offers
have been made to Newell or
anyone else.

Specifications for Drag
Contests at Camp White
Specifications for sports
car classes were outlined to
day by officials of the South
ern Oregon Timing associa
tion which opens its 1959
drag racing season on Sunday
at its Camp White strip.
Drag race enthusiasts who
own sports cars will have six
classes in which to complete
this season. Only three sports
divisions have been available
in the past on the SOTA
strip. Officials anticipate
more entries in the classes as
a result of the change.
Classification will be in ac
cord with vehicle engine dis
placement in cubic centi
meters (cc). One cc is .0610 of
a cubic inch. Following is the
class breakdown adopted
from regulations of the Na
tional Hot Rod association:
E 0 to 1300 cc; D 1301 to
1500 cc; C 1500 to 2700 cc;
B 2701 to 5200 cc; A 5200
and up; AA 5201 and up

steel safety shield completely
surrounding the bell housing.
This shield is not to be
anchored to the bell housing
or the body. A belly strap
strong enough to support the
rear of the engine in case of
clutch of flywheel disintegra
tion is also required for the
over 2700 engines.
Trophies ' will be awarded
the winners in all classes
where there are more than
two cars entered. Lone en
tries' have the choice of jump
ing to a higher class, turning
a time during eliminations
within five percent of the
strip class record, (records
will have to be established in
the three new classes) or re
ceiving a refund of their en
try fee.
Association officials stated
that a new award has been in
augurated. This trophy, called
"little eliminator" will be pre
sented to the top car chosen
from the winners of the fol
lowing classes: Stock, gas,
sports, street roadsters and

Ortiz Now
Favorite
New York - (UPD - In a bet
ting switch, Carlos' Ortiz to
day became a 13-10 favorite
to beat southpaw Kenny tane
in their fight tonight for the
revived, synthetic j u n i or
welterweight tilte.
Their Madison Square Gar
den 12-rounder - the first
fight for the 140-pound cham
pionship in nearly 13 years -will
be televised and broad
cast nationally by NBC.
Until today, sandy-haired
Lane of Muskegon, Mich., had
been a slight favorite at odds
that dwindled down to 11-10.
Increased support for swarthy
Ortiz of New York and Puerto
Rico caused the switch.
The 12-rounder is a return
bout. Lane, 27, won a majority
10-round decision over Ortiz,
22, at Miami Beach last Dec.

manager, Slick Jack (Doc)
Kearns, dreamed up the idea
of resurrecting the 140-pound
crown - for . publicity and
more loot.
