Beman Takes Second U.S. Amateur Golf Championship DES MOINES, Iowa (UPD- Battling Deane Beman won his second U. S. amateur golf championship Saturday with a 2 and 1 comeback surge which smashed the divot dreams of Dick Sikes, a threadbare 23-yoar-old from the hills of the Ozarks. Beman, the silver-spoon for mer U. S. and British amateur champion, hammered back from a 3 down deficit, saw a 2 up lead vanish on the third nine of their 36-hole match but then fought back to become the 15th man to win the amateur at least twice in its 63-year history. The chubby, ruddy-faced Be man salted it away when he birdicd the 32nd hole with an 18-foot putt to go 2 up and then matched the slender Sikes par for par over the three holes he needed to close it out. Visit Sister It was a comeback which held (he panthcrish Sikes, one of a family of nine, away from a goal which he set as result of a 300-mile bus ride in 1962. He had gone to visit a sister in Wichita from his home in Springdale, Ark., a n d an ob server who saw him playing on a public course suggested he try to quality for the national public links championship. Sikes did, won it, went on to take the NCAA championship after winning a scholarship to the University of Arkansas and would have been the first man ever to capture all three of these titles. But it wasn't to be, as Beman called on the poise and polish of a long international career and in the final analysis out steadied his younger rival. Beman, in coming back to take his second U.

The defense stole the show from the offense throughout the nationally - televised game, which was played in a heavy downpour of rain before only 43,000 fans, 10,000 below capa city. And Martin, a 6 - foot - 5, 236-pound senior from Gaines ville, Ga., was the standout as he exceeded his pre - season notices throwing would-be Gator passers for repeated long losses, blocking a punt, recov ering a fumble, and keeping the Florida offense loose and shak ing. Quarterback Lothridge put Georgia Tech on the scoreboard with three and a half minutes left in the second period with a 35-yard field goal and halfback Shasta Wolves Winners By 39-0 Over Ashlanders ASHLAND-A big, hard-running Shasta high football team from Redding, Calif., capped its performance with three final period touchdowns Friday night and downed the Ashland Grizzlies 39 to 0. Although Shasta controlled the ball much of the game, Ash land made a battle of it during the first half. First quarter was scoreless and Shasta led at the half 13 to 0. It was 20 to 0 after three quarters. Good blocking and tackling figured in the California win. The Wolves rolled up 493 net scrimmage yards while the Ash landers counted up 118. 64-Yard Run Bob Hurst scored three times for Shasta. He got away for 64 yards up the middle in the final stanza and tallied also on four and six-yard runs. Ron Field pass to John Gower for 16 yards and a score.

Sikes was three over par in the finals as, in the final analysis, his approach irons betrayed him and his dreams of coming from nowhere to the top of the ama teur golf world were destroyed by Beman's precise putter. Opener Joe Auer completed the scoring midway through the third period with a one-yard touchdown plunge. The Yellow Jackets drove to the Florida seven - yard line in the closing seconds of the game but failed to score again. The slippery ball was hard to pass and runners kept slipping on the wet turf. Late in the second period Mar tin blocked a Florida punt for an apparent safety only to have the play cancelled by a pen alty, then broke through on the next play to throw the would be punter for a 15-yard loss. Florida staged its best drive at the start of the third peri od and moved from its own 33 to the Tech 30 before Martin broke through and recovered a Gator fumble on the Tech 38 yard line. In the final period, as Flori da was trying desperately to get back into the game, Martin broke through time and again to throw passers for long losses. Milt McManus ran two extra points and Beale one. A pass for 53 yards. Boh Kur ley to Gower, set up Hurst's six yard TD play. Redding had 426 yards on the ground and 67 in the air. Ash land was held to 54 yards on the turf and picked up 64 on passes. First downs were 11 to 5 for the Shasta club. While Ashland completed just four of its 14 passes, quarter back Dave Bargcr hit receivers better than the figure shows. Two long passes and two short ones were dropped. Ashland was touchdown bound in the second quarter but time ran out with the ball on the 12 yard line.

Helping the Reno driver will be Bill Butler and Warren Welsch, owners of the "Shoehorn" drag ster that participated many times on the Medford drag strip from 1958-1962. When the strip was closed in June, 1962, the rear-engincd Shoehorn dragster was No. 1 eliminator.

The next destruc tion event will be held in an area directly in front of the stands and will include part of the infield Time trials will start at 12:30 p.m. instead of the usual 1 p.m. next Sunday. Officials made this change because they were not having enough time to time all the cars and get the program under way by 2 p. m A field of 50-plus jalopies is expected for what could be the final race of the season. The weather will determine whether any events can be held in October.

He's Navy's make or break man in a bid for eastern football hon ors against a challenge from loaded Syracuse and Pittsburgh. Penn State, two-time winner of the Lambert Trophy as champs of the East, is down for a rebuilding year but rates an edge over Army, Boston Col lege, Holy Cross, Villanova and the other eastern independents in the second flight behind the big three.

They decisively dominated the offensive and defensive for the evening. And, while their scor ing punch was not what they wanted it to he. it was all that proved needed.

RICHARDS REPLACES PORTLAND (UPI) - Bruce Richards of Seattle will play in the place of Mahlon Moe of Spokane on the Hudson Cup amateur team Sept. 28-29 at Astoria. According to Francis Heitkember, non-playing cap tain, Moe was unable to play due to a conflict in his college schedule. At Syracuse, coach Ben Schwartzwalder last only nine of last year s top 33 and the re turnees include a dangerous quarterback comho in Wally Aianie and Jim Nance. Pittsburgh has 28 letlermen led by fullback Paul Martha and fullback Rick Lceson, plus a murderous schedule up to the usual Pitt standards. A passer is needed and that chore could fall trr Kenny Lucas, brother of ex-Penn State star Richie Lucas. The new substitution rule spelled the end of the "Chinese Bandits" defensive unit invent ed by coach Paul Dict.cl when he was at Louisiana State but Dietzel, now at Army, can be counted on for some new wrin kles. However, the Cadets again arc desperate for a quarterback and won't move out of the mid dle of the pack unless one is un covered. Lose Many Seniors Jack Concannon of Boston college is back at quarlerhack In lead the Eagles again but they lost 25 seniors and the task ahead is rough. Holy Cross is rebuilding after heavy losses. Dartmouth lost 24 leltermcn by graduation but the Indians played mob scene football with three units last year and the losses may not be quite so se vere as indicated. Halfback Tom Spangenberg leads the survivors. Harvard hopes to develop its tackles by mid-season and if it docs, the Crimson attack led by quarterback Mike Bassett and fullback Bill Grana will be hard to handle. Quarterbacks Archie Roberts of Columbia and Gary Wood of Cornell are the Ivy League aces i at that position but only Colum- j hia may be in position to take full advantage of the situation The Lions lost only eight seniors, Princeton lost its entire back field from last year. Yale, under new coach Johnny Pont, is a question mark. Brown and Pennsylvania expect improve ments but not enough to make the first division. OREGON Comet Footballers Lebanon High 7-0 cause of a penalty and a TD pass was aroppca Crater, which rolled up 10 first downs and 116 yards in the first quarter, went down to the eight-yard line of Lebanon and was stopped and twice more in the period made it to the 12. The Fireballs reached the Leb anon 15 in the second quarter and went to the 10 in the third. A fumbled punt gave Lebanon a chance in the fourth stanza. The Warriors nabbed the ball on the Crater 35 and moved to the 17. This threat was wiped out by a John McNirhols intercep tion of a pass. So well did Crater control the ball in the first half that the Warriors had it for only eight scrimmage plays and they punt ed on two of these. Ryerson Stars The Central Point school's de fensive line was stout with Den nis Ryerson in the outstanding role. Said Coach Keith Johnson of the Comets, "He was the fifth man in the Lebanon back field all night." Working with Ryerson were John Bush, Steve Jorde, Mel Johnson and Frank Armstrong. And, good defensive signal calling by Ray White made the Comets tougher. American League Roundup Twins Top Yankees, 6 to 2; Roberts Drops 13th to Tigers By United Press International Dick Stigman scattered eight hits Saturday to lead the Min nesota Twins to a 6-2 victory over the American league cham pion New York Yankees in the first game of a day-night double header.

Gary Van Kolen ran 11 yards for a touchdown to cap a (Vi-yard second quarter push. With six minutes left in the game Grants Pass had the hall nn its 45 yard line with fourth down and .10 yards to go. It was a situation calling for a punt and Tom Rlanchard was back In kick. Rut, the center snap was bad. Rlanchard pic ked up the ball and ran. He was trapped around the 30. Then he saw Van Knten in the open and passed to him. Van Koten gathered in the ball on the 44, eluded two would-be tacklers and hurdled another. Hy that time he'd picked up some blocking and he went all the way to score. Goal line defense showed well for both teams. Klamath Kalis reached the two-yaid line in the first quarter and had first down and goal to go. But, the Cave men forced them to give up the ball back on the four. Alter a Grants Pass fumble KK also got to the GP 17. The Cavemen once were hailed on the Klam ath six. i Crater of the Southern Oregon conference had 15 first downs. 1 Its foe from the Vallev leaeue j had five.
