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.

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.

for the Huskies' 1955 season with two Oregon ends. From left, Corky Lewis, Hood River;
Jim Dougherty, Klamath Falls; and Cherberg. Lewis is a lettermam, Dougherty a converted full

Notre Dame,
Not Gophers
Get Nagurski
SOUTH BEND, Ind. l.-tf Bronko
Nagurski of Notre Dame!
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."

notice, though, the odds have

"In my book," said Johnston,
"Archie should be the 13 to 5 fa

they making Marciano the fa

Ezzard Charles? Jersey Joe Wal

"Well, Marciano must have hit
Cockell about 300 punches and it
