Upsets Feature AAUMeet By FRED HAYDEN NEW YORK, April 9 (IP) Three major upsets featured the national AAU men's senior in door swimming championships that ended Saturday. The upsets saw three of the 10 champions win their first nation al individual titles, two of them at the expense of defending champions. Most surprising was the down fall of world record .holder Alan Ford, Columbia midshipman, in the 100-yard free style by the successful Bainbridge NTC squad's Walter Ris. Ris set a new New York AC pool record of 51.3 to nose out Ford, who led most of the way but lost out on the final turn. Ford Missed Practice Ford, who won five national AAU titles while at Yale before entering Columbia Midshipmen's school, said he missed swimming practice for a week while set tling into his. new routine. Another defending champion, Bainbridge's Joe Verdetir, bowed by a touch in the 220 yard breast stroke, to Dave Sei bold of Jackson, Mich., repre senting the Saginaw junior board of commerce. Seibold previously had won numerous high school titles in Michigan but this was his initial major conquest. Third Surprise Registered The third surprise came in the 3-meter dive. Navy Chief Spe cialist Frank McGuinan, (com Detine unattached) who thumherl his way by air for two days from ius .treasure isiano, oan rran Cisco station, toppled Hobie Bil- lingsley, Ohio State's NCAA cnamp. it was the first national senior triumph for McGuinan, who four months ago completed 20 months of overseas service. Billingsley, who will report soon to the army air corps, also was upset in the 1-meter dive by Ohio State's graceful Greek, Ted Christakos, a paratrooper in the African, Sicilian and Salerno in vasions.

Nelson Yins Open With 263 Record Score Cited Beit Performance of All Time By CHICK HOSCH ATLANTA, April 9 UP) By ron Nelson's record of 263 for 72 holes was cited today as the greatest golf performance of all time but it won't go in the books that way. The mark, made by the To ledo, O., precisionist in winning the $10,000 Iron Lung invitation al here, will be listed only as a record for a 72-hole PGA tour nament, says Tournament Man ager Fred Corcoran. Corcoran recalled the 264 Craig Wood, duration open tit list, shot in the 72-hole Metro politan Open at Bloomfield, N. J., in 1940 and termed it "a sort of dual record." He explained: "Wood's score was the lowest for 72-holes, until yesterday, and also the lowest for an officially registered championship. The 263 of Nelson will be entered as the lowest for a 72-hole tourna ment played as part of a tour, while Wood's will remain as the best for a definite medal cham pionship a fixed event Greatest Performance "While the other players and I agree that the play of Nelson in this tournament was the greatest performance of all time, it must be remembered . that Wood's score was made over a longer course of a higher par. The Bloomfield course (Forest Hills) is 6410 yards. Par, nor mally 71, was lowered to 70 for the 1940 tourney. The Capital City club here is 6155 yards. Par, normally 71, was lowered to 69 tor the iron ijung tournament. Shot 264 at. Corpus Christi Corcoran . also recalled that Nelson shot a 264 at Corpus Christi but added that it was an nounced prior to the start of that tournament that no new records would be considered since win ter rules were in effect Here, full PGA regulations were ob served. Nelson was 13 strokes under par after yesterday's fourth round, nine strokes ahead of his nearest rival, Sammy Byrd. In winning Nelson ran his win. ter tour- triumphs to eight, bet tering the record of six set by Jimmy Demaret in 1940. The $2000 first prize sent his win nings to. $21,050. The $47,000 he pulled down in 1944 was an all time high. His four-day score was 64-69-65-65, and included 22 birdies and nine bogies. Byrd's 67 gave him 272, six ahead of Jimmie Hines of Am sterdam, N. Y. Number 10 Lucky For High Scoring Basketball Players PULLMAN, Wash., April 9 (IP) Sports world numerologists may make something of this Gale Bishop, the nation's No. 1 service scorer of Fort Lewis, Vince Hanson, Washington State college ace who topped the na tional collegiate scoring race, and Jack Perrault, of Eastern Washington, top scorer of inde pendent schools in the nation, all wore jersey No. 10 during the past basketball season.

"Sneeze" Achiu May Clash With "Mask" Friday Promoter Mack Lillard an nounced this morning that, al though no definite rassllng card has been booked for Friday night, Walter "Sneeze" Achiu, former Dayton (Ohio) university football star, is being groomed to collide with the "Grey Mask." Mr. Stoneface is a bit leery about meeting Achiu, who spe cializes in the "Chinese sleeper." This particular hold has caused opponents of the Chinese g rap pier no end of trouble, but an in teresting point Is that he doesn't use the hold unless driven to it by the fouling of his rivals. As the "Mask" would find it impossible to rassle without foul ing, he will no doubt be the re cipient of the "sleeper" if the two musclers meet. Lillard stated that several new. faces will be seen on this week's card and the bill will definitely be announced soon. DAVISVILLE, R. I.

"Bobby" Jones Bows Out of Golf Robert Tyre Jones, who was one of the prin cipals of tho golden era of sports that featured among others. Babe Ruth, Jack Dcmpsoy, Bill Tilden and Tommy Hitchcock, has decided to pass up Uie Iron Lung golf tournament at At lanta, Ga. . This tourney was called the Masters before the war and is played on a course designed by Jones to the spcciflculions he thought a tournament course should have. In bowing out, Bobby said that his game was Just not good enough to warrant his play ing, but good or bad, the crowd would have been following r.m peror Jones. . Bobby was not as spectacular a golfer as is Samuel Jackson Sncad, the long-slamming pro from Virginia, but he was consist ent and his shots paid off as witness his grand slam when ho won the British Open, British Amateur, National Open, and National Amateur, all in one year, a feat never before accomplished and never equalled. There will always be a bone of contention as lo whether Bobby could have topped Lord Byron Nelson and Slammln' Sam in his hey-day, but his famous putter, Calamity Jane, lius become a byword among followers of the game of golf and the name of Bobby Jones will be remembered after the others arc perhaps forgotten. So the old master has at last bowed completely out of tourna ment golf and with his passing goes that element that helped make it the great drawing card it Is today.

Brownies Show Best Pre-Season Record By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK, April 9 (O Despite the ODT's ruling which cut traveling to a minimum, most major league baseball clubs have managed to get in enough exhibition games to give the fans a fair idea of their compara tive strength for the regular 1945 season that gets underway next week. Except for Cleveland (3-0) and Pittsburgh (4-0), all against mi nor league and semi-pro opposi tion, the Browns showed the best record through games including Sunday, April 8, with eight vic tories and two defeats.
