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. LOS ANGELES Babe Did
nksen Zaharias beat Betty Jame

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.

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.

"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. Haakan
Lidman, Sweden, set new record
of 14.4 for 110-meter high
hurdles at Camp Endicott track
meet. Jim Rafferty won three
quarter mile race in 3:02.2.

"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.
