making much headway in the

this year. .
: "I gained 10 games just
being sold by the last place
Philadelphia Phillies to the
Giants," quipped the husky
backstop as he looked over
his new home at Seals Stadi
um. This is going to be fun
playing with this club ... all
youngsters. As baseball ages
go, I guess I'm an old man
with this team. They mostly
seem to be about 22 years
old."
Hegan hasn't caught much
this year. He was doing some

when he injured his back.
"But when I got .back in
shape they were using Carl
Sawatski and Valmy Thom
as," says Hegan. "So I was
glad for the move. Hope I can
help out here."

is dickering with other sources
which reportedly are arrang

Based on Big Three
Kramer's offer to Olmedo,
as of the end of the year,
was based on the big three
events of amateur tennis -Wimbledon,
the U.S. cham

Victory in one would bring
Olmedo a $75,000 contract;
two wins would bring him
$80,000 and all three would
pay off at $100,000.

usual confidential agreement
with him before the end of
the tennis season-and makes
it with the idea of being com
pletely cooperative -when he
does turn pro.
"I have to plan ntixt year
before the end of thris one,"
Kramer explained. "If he still
acts coy, I've got to o ahead
with the top-four pros. -we have
currently."
That means another tourna
ment tour built arour Q Pancho
Gonzales, the blazing Lew
Hoad and the two erivanoinc
young Australian pros, Ashley
Cooper and Mai Ancterson.
Worried About AtfL'Jude " '
"Olmedo's attitude worries
me," Kramer said. "I'm not
putting the knock on him, but
he seems to be the t type you
nave to Keep propcung-and
we don't want any more
prima donnas. We'ie had one
for 10 years and that's
enough."
This was, of course, a direct
reference to Gonzales. He and
Kramer have been so at odds,
at times, that lawjiers had to
be called in. Kramer current
ly is in the "driveirs seat in
this perpetual fencing duel
because the attorneys figured
out that Gonzales is under
contract to Jack umtil 1962.
Kramer's lack : of concern
over whether Ohuedo accepts
his offer or not items from
the fact that privately he
doesn't believe that under the
current strong pito set-up the
amateur champion is so high
ly necessary to p:co success. ,
"The pro players have
reached such a peak of excel
lence that the amateur cham
pion, aside frona his reputa
tion, is no good; for the first
year," he illustrated. "He is
a cinch to be jbeaten-which
meant he is worth something
to you at the Ibox office for
only about 10 ; matches. He
really i a Ion?; term invest
ment and it'a sfcout time the
amateur chamntions beean to
realize it."

Houston To Carry Impressive
Record Into NCAA Golf Fray
University of Oregon, Eu-
gene-Who can stop Houston
university's bid for a fourth
straight NCAA golf cham
pionship next week when
more than 150 golfers open
play Monday over the rug
ged Eugene Country Club
course.
Nearly two dozen four-to-six-man
squads are going to
try-over the 36-hole cham
pionship route, but the Hous
ton record is fair warning it
will be a tough job.
Houston conies into the
the NCAA tournament with
a marvelous string of 16 wins
without a defeat in various
championships during the. last
three seasons. The unbeaten
record began late in the 1958
campaign and now includes
unbeaten . 1958 and 1959
years.
During that 16 tournament
winning streak a member of
the Houston team won medal
ist honors in 10, including
both the 1957 (Rex Baxter)
and 1958 (Phil Rodgers)
NCAA tournaments.
Three Sophomores
Youthful inexperience may
or may not be a stumbling
block for Coach Dave Wil
liams team and the defense
of a national championship
will be a real challenge to
three sophomores who make
up two thirds of the six-man
squad entered in the NCAA.
The squad is led by senior
Bob Pratt, the semi-finalist
last year, junior Jack Cupit,
the lone Texan on the squad,
junior Tony Marimon of
Madrid. Spain, and rookie
Ron Weber' of Prineville,
Ore., Dick Crawford of
Springhill, La., and Joel Gold
strand of Worthington, Minn.
Oklahoma State, the run
nerup last year and expecting
added punch from sophomore
Jimmy Wright, gave Houston
a tough tussle in toth meet
ings with the champs this
year in regular tournaments
and should be a tough con
tender. North Texas State (fifth),
Rollins of Florida (sixth),
Stanford (seventh) and Pur
due (tenth) are all back out
of last year's top 10 while
Oregon, which won the PCC
and Yale, the Eastern inter
collegiate winners, also rank
high in consideration.
The other teams with full
squads include Chico State,
Duke, Florida with Walker
Cupper Tommy Aaron, Fres
no State with California
champion Joel Spinola, Idaho,
Oregon State, Portland uni
versity, Princeton, San Jose
State, Seattle, Texas Tech,
Texas, Washington, Iowa and
