Newspaper Page Textwt-TWESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1955 PAGE FOURTEEN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Oldsters Survive Golf Test By HUGH Fl'LLERTON JR. RICHMOND. Va. The 55th National Amateur Ooll Champion ship is Just us unpredictable as Its predecessors, but Its a fairly safe guess that when the finalists walls to the first tee Saturday one will come from the group of pre tournament favorites, There's a chance too that by that time he'll be as (jrey-hairea Irom narrow escapes 83 the lorty ish oldsters who make up the bulk of the 64-man field that survived the first two rounds. Going Into today's double-knockout third and fourth rounds, most of the favorites it 111 were on hand. Some, like Harvle Ward, tabbed by his rivals as the' world's best ama teur golfer, almost had the day lights scared out of them, but they won. But perhaps the most noticeable feature of the remaining lield was the predominance of players in the over-40 and 20-or-under age brack ets. At least a dozen of the 64 survivors confessed to the over 40 age and a lot of others were close to that figure. Perhaps the story was that only steady, experienced oldsters could cope with the tricky greens and the disturbing winds on ine o.iu yard James River course of the Country Club of Virginia. The in-betweens Included the 29-vear-old Ward: Joe Conrad, sprightly S5-year-old Air Force lieutenant; 31-year-old Jimmy Jackson and 32-year-old Captain Bill Campbell from the U.S. walk er Cup team; and Hillman Roberts, 23, the sectional qualifying medal 1st and an Impressive winner yes terday. Then there were ex-champlons Ted Bishop and Willie Tumcsa, who arc lliitlng with the older age group, and Jimmy McHale, 39-year-old former Walker Cupper. They're scattered through the draw so at least one of them stands a good chance of going all the way. Another oldster, Ray Palmer of Wyandotte, Mich., earned a prom inent place in the tournament annals even though he went out in the second round. The tall, 42-year-old manufac turer who went to the amuteur semifinals two years ago, stayed on top of Ward all the way, missed a chance to beat him Willi a short tiecond shot and a weak chip at the 18th and finally lost out on the 19th, where Harvle canned a tremendous 25-foot pressure putt. Turnesa, known as "Willie the Wedge," used his favorite club to effect a similar exciting finish. He came out of a trap to beat- Bob Sweeny, runner-up to Arnold Palmer In last year's tourney and British amateur tltleholder In 1937, on the 19th hole. Sweeny was one of the few "name" players eliminated in the second round. Others were former champion Chick Evans, who now plays Just lor fun, ex-BrltlBh cham pion Charlie Yates and youthlul Walker Cupper Bruce Cudd. MS( FRATERNAL LEAGUE W I.

Ph. 8413 First by Ford! I Running Big Key Of Cards By ED SAINSBI'R L'nlted Press Sports Writer CHICAGO ( UP ) The Chicago Cardinals, (or the past two sea' sons the last place club in the National Football League s East ern Division, expect to climb out of the cellar this year on spectacu lar running by Ollie Matson, John- ny Olszewski and rookie Dave Mann. So far In exhibition contests, the hopes have been justified. Mann, a slop and go speedster from Ore gon State, returned a kick off 100 vards tur a touchdown apainst De troit, and Matson rambled 70 yards from scrimmage for a score against the same team. These dashes resulted In a one- point victory over Detroit, the 1954 Western Division champion. And equally adept running by the same trio pulled the cardinals to a tri umph over their hometown rivals, the Bears, in an earlier exhibi tion. COLLAPSE But the Cardinal title hopes may collapse because of poor passing, the offensive phase rated most im portant in the NFL. So far Lamar McHan, a sophomore signal caller from Arkansas, has had mediocre success with his throws, and be hind him, the Cardinals have noth ing. But Ray Richards, new Car dinal head coach, is confident Mc Han can carry the load. Richards, who succeeded Joe Stydahar es the Cardinal coach last spring, believes his club could be a contender for the Eastern Division title, particularly if the breaks come the right away. The team had a 2-10 record last sea son. "We'll need some help from the rookies," he said, "but they have Impressed mo in our exhibition games. Particularly I like Llndon Crow, the halfback from Southern California. HIGH HOPES He also expects aid on defense from Dave Leggett of Ohio State and Frank Bernardl of Colorado. On offense. Max Boydston, the All America end from Oklahoma who was the club's first draft pick, is rated close to Don Stonesifer and Oern Nagler in pass catching abili ty. Another problem may be dopth in the line, now manned by veter ans at most positions. "If any trade can be arranged, we'd probably look for an interior lineman," Richards said. It was unlikely, though, that any deals would come about because the Cardinals can't afford to trade what other clubs would want. Babe Plans Golf, Returns To Home OALVESTON, Tex.

Not Minnesota? Nopo, Notre Dame. That should raise some eye brows up Minnesota way. The 17-year-old son of the all time All-America Minnesota tackle has enrolled as a pre-medical student aj Notre Dame. Incidentally, he is out for fresh man football. Junior stands 6-1, an inch shorter than his dad when he reported to the Gophers in 1926 to start a fabulous football career, climaxed by terrorizing the National Foot ball League as a Chicago Bear full'oack. He weighs 220 pounds, 10 more than the blockbusting Bronko did as a fledgling. Like his father, young Nagurski was a great tackle at International Falls (Minn.) High School. His team was unbeaten last year. Jun ior also starred on the school's hockey team and was a slugging first baseman in baseball. His father, who now owns nnd operates a large ranch near Inter national Falls, was one of his most ardent fans during his high school athletic career. Why didn't he follow his dad's. footsteps to the University of Min nesota? "There was no one reason why I went to Notre Dame," Nagurski. Jr., explained Tuesday. "I just wanted to go, that's all, just like a million ot other Kids who play football."

Wl Listen to the optimistic outbursts at Archie Moore's training camp ! for a while and you wonder why I Rocl:y Marciano will bother to step Into the Yankee Stadium ring next Tuesday to defend his heavy weight crown. Tha way they talk at the light heavyweight king'd camp here In the Berkshires, the fight is Just cut and dried affair. Archie is go ing to call all the shots and, at 38, become the oldest man ever to win thii heavyweight title. "Ardhle will take care if him In fiv or six rounds," said Man ager CYiarley Johnston. "How they get those odds favoring Marciano I can't see for the life of me. I notice, though, the odds have dropped to 13 to 5. "In my book," said Johnston, "Archie should be the 13 to 5 fa vorite, not Marciano. What are they making Marciano the fa vorite on? The Don Cockell fight? Ezzard Charles? Jersey Joe Wal cott? Is it because he's supposed to be such a puncher? "Well, Marciano must have hit Cockell about 300 punches and it took him pine rounds to catch up to him. You saw what Nino Valdes did to Cocfccjll and Moore beat Val des. Where's the one punch knockout power Marciano Is sup posed to have? Archie will jab him silly, bust him up and knock him out in live or six rounds."

Southern Cal ranked either first or second on all except one ballot, which listed the Trojans third, j Stanford drew two second place votes, three for third, one for fourth and one for fifth. ; Comments by the coaches: "Washington State is a definite darkhorse threat." said Jess Hill of USC, who tabbed the Cougars for fourth behind UCLA, USC ami Stanford. "The first three should be bunched, that is, any one might beat the other on a given day."
