Ingemar is preparing for his March 13 Pros Fracture Par By OSCAR FRALEY Uniicd Press International Miami - (UPI) - It's been 22 years since Slammin' Sammy Sncad took an eight on one hole to blow the U.S. Open and, while they've never let him forgot it, he has a lot of company each and every year which quickly fades into links limbo. Already this year, golden boy Arnold Palmer has help ed himself to a 12 on one hole and Ken Venturi has chipped in with an eight. Neither of which matches the 13 whack ed out by Jack Fleck in last year's Western Open. The answer is that aneaa s McLoughlin on Friday after noon in a game matching two Medford schools.

And we might be inclined to be just a wee bit on the pompously critical side when considering the fact that a man who matched par last year would have won $38,398 on the tour as well as the PGA champion ship. But don t let those kind of figures fool you.

Washing ton has agreed to stock the en tire Class D team with play ers. REG. $24.95 INSTALLED 88 WW AS Floyd Patterson. Johansson Today ers of today are fracturing par worse than it ever has been blasted. Last year's PGA was the only tournament won by an over-par score, which is a tribute actually to the man- killing caliber of the Firestone course in Akron, Ohio. But on the whole the guys who line their wallet with a wedge really hop up old man par. Look at some of their heroics on the tour last year as an example. Palmer shot a seven-under- par 29 for nine holes at Tuc son which was matched in various other locales by Cur tis Person, Johnny McMullin and Don January. Bill Casper fired a 62 at Indianapolis and there were 12 scores of 63 on the tour. Gene Littler, Dow Finstcr wald and handsome Bill John ston all carded 129 for 36 holes which comes out to 84. Doug Sanders had a 195 for 54 holes, reading 65-65-65. Johnston stroked out 262 to win the Utah Open, which is a little more than 65 for each of four rounds. That 262 was 26 under par, an algebra stu dent informs me. Birdisi Sevan Straight Don Risplinghoff carded seven straight birdies in the Pensacola Open. Gardner Dickinson Jr. had 11 birdies on one round of the St. Paul Open. Casper, at St. Paul, and Art Wall in the Utah Open went through the entire 72 holes with only one bogey. Casper also shot 25 con secutive sub-par rounds, from Aug. 26 at Milwaukee until Nov. 19 at Lafayette, La. There were 17 holes in one on the 1960 tour as well two double eagles by Gene Coghill of New Hartford, N.Y., and Mac Main of Dan ville, Va. Sure, par golf would have won $4,200 in the Masters, $5,000 at Colonial, $1,950 in the U.S. Open, $1,650 at Los Angeles, $1,550 in the Buick Open and $1,476 in the De Soto Open. But you can't ever count on par golf being good enough to win, and these guys are all after the top spot. Look at Wall. He shot a 26424 un der par in the Utah Open. All it got him was second place. So they hitch up their pants, spit on their hands and while they tell you to "swing easy" they hit it with every thing they ve got. That way an eight, a 12 or a 13 Is bound to come up once in a while. Ask Venturi, Palmer or Fleck. Baylor Shines For Home Fans UniltJ Preit International The folks who "knew him when" turned out Monday night to see Elgin Baylor and the Los Angeles Laker star didn't disappoint them one bit. Baylor turned in 35 points, look 15 rebounds and was credited with seven assists in leading the Lakers to a 110 101 triumph over the Cincln nali Royals at College Park Md.

A game slated between the front-running jayvees and the No. 2 place Shoe, set for last Saturday, reportedly was postponed because of the prep coaching duties which prevented the restaurant from putting a team on the floor that night. Statistics from League President Harry Chipman show Dave D'Olivo of Wooden Shoe as the scoring leader of the circuit with 152 points and a 21.7 average for seven games. The figures include all but the three games played last week. Al McCorquadale has 114 points for Butte Falls and Al Yates 111 for Medford Na tional Guard.

The Buckeyes handed St. Bona venture its only defeat in 17 games this season, 84-82, in New York's Holiday Festival last December. Ohio State now has led the UPI ratings all 10 weeks of this season. The Buckeyes beat Wisconsin and Michigan last week to run their season win ning streak to 16 games and their overall unbeaten record to 21 dating back to last sea son.

The victory jumped the Blue Devils two notches to third place with 230 points. Russians Want To Beat Us At Our Own Game San Francisco - (UPU - The United States, which invented basketball, has already lost international leadership in the game, and the 1964 Olympics could be "very rough" on our cage prestige, Olympic coach Pete Newell said today. The power looming on the basketball herizon is the same one we see everywhere else - the USSR. "The Russians obviously are gearing themselves right now for the 1964 Olympics," New ell said. "They are dedicated to bringing their caliber up to and beyond ours. They want to beat us at the only Ameri can game in the Olympics." Russ Improvement Seen Newell, who coached the U. S. team to an 81-57 semi final victory over Russia last year, said the Russians will certainly be better next time. And, he said, the U. S. can t be sure of having an outstand ing crop of players like Oscar Robertson, Jerry Lucas, Dar- ral Imhoff, Jerry West and Bob Boozer. The U. S. will have to pick its "best" team if it wants to win the 1964 basketball Olym pics, he said. "The selection system in the past has some times come up with an unbal anced team because we were more apt to take the players by name." He said the Rus sians sent to Rome a group of players who were chosen as a team. "The Russians play basket ball 10 or 11 months a year," Newell said, "and were sur prised to learn we only play from December to March." But the thing that will make it tough to maintain U. S. basketball domination in the Olympics is the fact that "the game here is drifting away from the international game," according to Newell. "The international rules are far enough from ours now, and by 1964 the rest of the world may be playing com pletely different from the way we play." U. S. Leadership Sags He said this was because the U. S. "hasn't ever taken the international leadership we should. We have allowed other countries to take the lead which we, as the veterans of the game, should hold." Newell said Europeans "do not get much chance to see the game as we play it. What they do see," he said, "is the Russian game." Newell, now athletic direc tor at the University of Cali fornia, made his comments in MOTHERS STORY OF FLIGHT FROM niRAi Cincinnati, which finished runnerup to California in the final 1959-60 ratings, vaulted from 14th place to a tie for 9th after beating two teams in the last week's top 10 -Bradley and Iowa. Cincinnati replaced St. John's of New York in the select group. Bradley, i ated either second or third for the first nine weeks of the campaign, had a rough week. The Braves lost to St. Bonaventure and Cin cinnati and fell two places to fourth. North Carolina followed the Braves, Southern California remained sixth, Kansas State moved up three places to No. 7; Iowa dropped one notch to No. 8 and Louisville fell two places to a tie for 9th. New York - lUPII - The United Press International college basketball ratings an interview follow-up to a warning issued by Olympic track star Bob Mathias at the Northern California Basket ball Writers luncheon Mon day. Mathias and Russia might beat the U. S. in basketball at the 1964 games unless "we can keep up the interest in the sport" and work out a system to send a team that is chosen because it is the best team and not one "formed with the idea of keeping every body happy."
