Mike Souchak Shatters Par In Golf Open ' TIJUANA, Mex. (UP) The second round of the $156,000 pesos Callente Open Oolf Tournament gets underway today with a line field all English speaking following on the heels of big Mike Souchak, the former football play er. No matter what happens In the next three days, Souchak already Is a winner. He collected $250 (U.S.) Thursday for breaking the course record as he fired a seven-under-par 65 on a championship lay-out. "It possibly was one of the best rounds I ever shot In my life." he said later. "This Is a superior course. It was a much better round than the 60 I scored In Texas last year." In U.S. cash this Is a $12,500 tournament but the $150,000 price on the spectators' tags looks nugmy enticing to the touring professionals. This course measured 6.800 yards Thursday longer than most championship courses. And Jt will be 7,207 for the final round on Sunday which makes Jt one of the longest Jay-outs Jn North America, Despite Ms fine performance Thursday, Souchak doesn't have much of a lead. He Is two strokes In front of the rest of the star studded field. At 67 came Ralph Blomqulst, Glendale, Calif., and Frank Stranahan, Toledo. Ohio, a pair of seasoned professionals, and 30-year-old Rod Funseth, a slender long - ball hitter from Spokane, Wash., who is an amaleur. At 68 came Tony Holguln, Mid lothian. 111., and amateur Tim Hol land, Miami, Fla. The professionals at 69 were Fred Haas, Olaremont, Calif., Walker Inman, Augusta. Ga.; Bo Winlnger, Oklahoma City; Ted Rhodes. Los Angeles, and Tommy Bolt, Chattanooga, Tcnn. La.';t weekend while the Pels were taking two hard rishts to the chin by Medford, Ashland sur prised Grunts Pass with a crush ing 85-81 victory. The Saturday night win by the Grizzlies earned the Ashland preppers a split In their conference outing against the Cavemen. The 85 points racked up by the Grizzlies shattered almost every record for Ashland High School quintets. In posting the AWAITING ACTION tonight and Saturday evening against the invading Ashland High School Grizzliei it Jerry Burke, KUHS senior basketballer. Burke and the Pelicans meet Ash land in a two-game Southern Oregon Conference cage series at Pelican Court. CLAYTON HAN WON SPORTS EDITOR Experts Forsee 5 Medals For American Ice Skaters CORTINA.

OSBURN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE. Thoroughly Modern Mrs. J. E, Earler -Jot Earlejr Jr. rroprietori second-night triumph over Grants Pass, the Grizzlies connected on 41 per cent of their shots from Ihe field. With Tichenor "almo.st" out of the weekend series, Peterson said he would probably open with Cliff Sutherland at one of the post posi tions along with 6-6 Glenn Moore. The outside positions will find Donn Taucher and Klmpton, if he it ready to go, at two of the three spots, but tiie fifth starter Is still a toss-up. according to the Pel mentor. Mike Runge, Lee McGlll, Orln Perkins, Dave Pepple and Jerry Burke have all been work ing for a starting berth this nast week, and Just which one will be on the firing line come tip-off lime lomgnt is unknown. Ashland's lineup was iuceled last weekend by coach Al Simp son, and tne Grizzlies picked up their first conference win in eight starts, so the Ashland high coach Is expected to go with the same starting live against the Pels this weekend. Forward Gene Parent nas been shifted to center and Dave Woods moved into Parent's old forward spot. The other open ing forward slot will probably go to veteran Phil Sword. Working lor Asiuand at tne two guard posi tions will be Harrv Johnson and Lance Locke. Parent, Sword and Johnson are all starters from last year's team. Stewart Baker, another starter from last season's quintet will probably see lots of action against uie .reis. OFFICE SPACE City Center Main street entronca. Quiet Tennanti.

Dan Reeves, owner of a third of the club's stock and manager of the organization for 15 years, has been asked by his partners, J.H. Seley, Fred Levy and Ed Pauley, to relinquish control, and Reeves says he will get- out of football altogether before he turns over the reins to someone else. "Reeves told me he will settle for nothing less than a dictator shipand that's the exact word he used," said Levy Thursday. "As buslncsmen and majority stock- noiaers we leel that we should have something to say about club policy on major matters." Under the ownership sact of 1953, if no agreement on stock ownership and management is reached, the partnership is auto matically dissolved, and a receiver appointed by the courts and the stock sold to the highest bidder. The Rams would bring on some fancy bids, unquestionably. They played before nearly 1 million fans last season and have netted more Ulan $200,000 profit In some seasons. Reeves made two offers to his partners, the first guaranteeing him permanent control in football matters with them to share fi nancially; the second, an offer to buy them out. Levy said the two proposals were rejected. Pauley, Levy and Sely said they had made two counter proposals, one to buy him out, the other to give him a 50 per cent control in policy mat ters. Reeves rejected both proposals. Thursday's Results By Till-: ASSOC IA1KI) I'RKSS Oregon I'rep Basketball Drain 08, Oakiidge 55 Sublimity 74, Scio 57 33 knockouts.

NY Scout Rates Don Best Man NEW YORK tM Sidney (Sonny) Hertzberg would make an excel lent contestant on the What's My Line? television program. Sonny is a scout lor a profes sional basketball team the New York Knickerbockers of the Na tional Basketball Assn. As far as can be determined he is the only one In the country with that occu pation. He has seen nearly all of the out standing college players in the na tion. Today he named the top five in this order Bill Russell of San Francisco, Slhugo Green of Du- quesne, Tom Heinsohn of Holy Cross, Ron Shavllk of North Caro, Una State and Lennie Rosenbluth of North Carolina. All but Rosen bluth are seniors. "I'd rate Russell just a shade ahead of Green." he said. "Rus sell Is the best big man I've seen and he has unusual stamina for someone with his thin appear ance. TOP MAN "But Green Is the top back court man in the country in my opinion. He's capable of stepping Into pro ball right now with any team in our league. "Heinsohn, who 11 probably be the Boston Celtics' first territorial draft choice, has great potential. Shavllk is very fast for a big man and is fine defensively. Rosenbluth is Just terrific and has definite pro possibilities." An NBA team is given first crack at a college player whose school is within a 60-mile radius of the pro team's home grounds. Players outside of NBA territory go Into a national draft at the end of the season with the last-place team having first choice. Hertzberg claims that Bill Uhl, Dayton's seven - foot center, and Hot Rod Hundley, West Virginia's prolific scorer, are not quite ready for pro basketball's major league. Both are seniors. EXCEPTIONALLY "Uhl is exceptionally fast tor a man of his size," said Hertzberg. "But I don't think his reflexes are fast enough right now. He might have trouble defensively. "Hundley Is as fine a ball handler as I've ever seen. Maybe anomer Boo Cousy. But Hundley is a clown and you have to be serious to make good in the NBA. He'd be better off just concentrat ing on basketball." None of the top-ranked college teams saw action last night. In fact, the card was the slimmest of the season, partially because of midyear examinations. , In major competition, Manhat tan came up with a second-half .rally to crush Adelphi 90 . 76. Virginia Tech limited Washington and Lee to two points in the last six minutes to post a 60-49 South ern Conference victory. Hack Nichols' 26 points led Colgate to a 76-62 triumph over Cornell. Texas A&M took the lead in the first minute and trmained in front to down Sam Houston State 75-46. And Morehead trampled Union 122 70 in a game between Kentucky schools. Nelson, Fleck To Aid Flood People SAN FRANCISCO I Two of golf's top pros, Byron Nelson and National Open champion Jack Fleck, tee off Saturday against two of tne nation s top amateurs in an exhibition match to aid Cali fornia flood victims.

Stanford, Utah Face Big Frays By UNITED PRESS Utah and Stanford, two high ranked teams which have battled back from earlier reverses,' are favored to score Important victor ies tonight to further their quest for a berth' in one of the post season tournaments. Utah, now rated No. 13 in th nation, plays host to nth-ranked Oklahoma City in a non-league tussle while Stanford, which shares Ihe No. 17 spot, visits Oregon State in a key Pacific Coast Conference clash. Utah had a disastrous "bad spell" during the Christmas holi days, losing three of four games played in the Kentucky and Sugar Bowl tournaments. But those are the only losses on tile Redskins' slate and now they've battled back for five straight wins. What's more Important, the Utes top the Skyline Conference with a B-o mark to Brigham Young's 3-0.
