Oldtimers Get Jump On Field PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) - If Jay Hebert continues his putting form and Doug Ford retains his magic touch with the irons, the two old timers of the tournament trail will be hard to beat in the $22,500 Phoenix Open. Hebert, of Sanford, Fla., and Ford, Crystal River, Fla., fired 5-under-par 66s Thursday to share the first-round lead in the 72-holc tournaments. Just one stroke back as the second round opened today was Jerry Barber of Los Angeles. Deadlocked at 68 were the vet erans hen Ventun, San Francis- Lionel Hebert, Lafayette, La.; Howie Johnson, Meadowlake Calif.; John Barnum, Grand Ha pids, Mich.; and Jack Fleck, Los Angeles. Pord, the former Masters and PGA champion, said his approach shots were the answer to the tricky 6,585-yard Phoenix Country Club course. He posted seven birdies four of them in a row on the first nine and two bogies He was close to the hole all day and his longest birdie putt was 12 feet. It was a different story for Hebert, who sank birdie putts ranging from 12 to 16 feet.

Jim Olson Motors Gonzagan Keeping Top Spot By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE (AP) - If he main tains his present pace of 27.8 points per game, Frank Burgess of Gonzaga will stack up more than 700 counters for the current basketball season. His total had reached 445 by Saturday, when the weekly books closed, and Burgess has 10 games left in the regular schedule. He is almost sure to beat the 619 that ave the Pacific Northwest lead ership to Ray Washburn of Whit worth last year. There is little likelihood he will threaten the regional mark of 1,031 chalked up in 1952 by Johnny O'Brien of Seattle University. That was before a limit was placed on the number of games a college team can play O'Brien appeared in 33. Another Seattle U.

Sat- Controversial Run Due Survey By Skiers SQUAW VALLEY, Calif. AP Olympic Alpine skiers run a test today on one of the most con troversial features of the fast ap- White Blitz, Teammates In Rhubarb SQUAW VALLEY, Calif. U1U Austria's chances of capturing another string of Olympic alpine gold medals diminished slightly today because of a fierce internal battle over team selection. With only one week to go before the first event, officials and top stars were clashing head-on. It looked as if the team would be split but Austrian Ski Federation President Otto Lorenz succeeded in smoothing ruffled tempers. The battle started when Austri an coach Olhmar Schneider indi cated that Anderl Molterer, "the white blitz of Kitz," and Karl Schranz. considered Austria's new Toni Sailer, would be ousted from the giant slalom and slalom teams, respectively. They would have to be replaced because of disappointing perform ances in recent events, Schneider said. Molterer and Schranz, top stars of the Austrian team, immediately revolted. 'I will race in all three alpine events or I have had it," Molterer shouted. "It is ridiculous to replace me because I was disqualified in two sla'om races earlier this season," Schranz barked. Austrian team leader Sepp Sulz berger finally retracted slightly by postponing his final alpine team nomination indefinitely. He announced only the downhill team, which will be composed of Schranz, Molterer, Pepi Stiegler and Kgon Zimmermann. Team sources said Stiegler Schranz, Molterer and Hinterscer will probably form the giant slalom . team while the slalom selection will largely depend on the outcome of the first two alpine events. Thomas, Bragg Set For Meet PHILADELPHIA (UPI) - The 16th annual Invitation Inquirer Charities meet kicks off a week end of track and field excitement tonight with the first of three "big ones" across the country sched uled for Convention Hall. High jumper John Thomas of Boston University and pole vaulter Don Bragg, formerly of Villanova, were the glamor boys in tonight's Inquirer meet with bids for new ceilings in their specialties. Thomas, who did 7 feet, lVi inches twice this season, goes as usual for 7 feet, 2 inches or bet ter. Bragg, who set an indoor mark of 15 feet, 014 inches in the same meet last year, flirts, as customary, with the first 16-foot vault in history. The weekend Is fattened with the New York A.C. games in New York and the Los Angeles Times games in Los Angeles, both sched uled for Saturday night. cSSjiyiiiciyi We're Tradi to get them!

The Whitebirds wrapped up the week's practice with what coach Dean White termed a "spotty practice" Thursday altcrnoon. preaching winter games the men's downhill ski course down Squaw Peak. Ever since the games were awarded to this valley in Cali fornia, abuse has been heaped al most as deep as the snow on the downhill. Thursday, Austria's Anderl Mol- tcre gave a somewhat different version of the steep, two-mile course on which skiers reach mile-a-minulc speeds. 'The upper part is devilishly difficult," he said. "If the snow is right, there will not be a sur prise winner." Previously Austrians claimed luck and not skill would play the major role in the race. West German Coach Fritz Hu ber declared, "If there is new snow on the course, it will be easy, if it is icy or if (here is hard snow, the extremely difficult upper part may be decisive." Today's inspection won't see any high speeds. Skiers go down in groups with a series of stops lo view crucial stretches. They couldn't hope for better weather than Squaw Valley en joyed Thursday. Sub - freezing morning temperatures rose into the 40's in the afternoon as skat ers and skiers got in a day of rugged practice. The first day of jumping on the 80-mcter Olympic hill brought some fine leaps and some hard landings. Germany's Helmut 'Rccknagcl soared about 280 feet as did Torb- join Yggcseth and Gene Kotlarek of the United States. Norway's 19- year-old Ole Tom Nord tripped as he landed and skidded on his face After emergency treatment he was pronounced all right. Spectators gasped as the jump ers soared through the air "I think we are set for some great jumping during the competi tions if only the weather holds,' said Olaf Ulland, chief of the competitions.

The last time out the KU five clobbered the Comets 97-61, so it must be assumed that revenge is uppermost in the Central Point ers' minds. The Pels enter the weekend work at full strength again since both Bob Lewis, who injured an ankle, and Freddie Bichn, who has been down with the flu, are con sidered lit for action. White plans to start a quintet that averages 6-4 in height for the CP invasion. They are Lewis, pro- ided the ankle holds up, Bruce Brickner, Gary Patzke, Paul Bis hop and Dean Dunson. Dunson was nvolved in an auto mishap Thurs day but suffered no injuries. Standing by as the most immed- atc relief for the starting five are Bichn, Steve Binncy and Don East man.
