Newspaper Page TextIk hnovms Lead At Tucson Pros Moan Over Wind On Course TUCSON. Ariz. (API Lesser! known golfers were very much in evidence as the $20,000 Tucson Open headed into today's second round. Ever hear of Frank Wharton? Probably not, because he's never finished better than seventh in a PGA event. But because the slim Austin, Tex., youngster was raised on the wind-swept courses of West Texas he earned a one stroke lead with a six under par 31-3364 in Wednesday's opening round. Other pros moaned that 25 mile per hour winds, with gusts even stronger, ruined their ' scores. Clouds of dust swirled across the fairways, dogging ears and eyes This afternoon is supposed to be windy again, but nothing lit. Thursday. ; "This was like home." Wharton said. To prove it he birdied the 16th and 17th holes when the wind was the strongest to clinch his lead. PGA Champ Jay Hebert mo mentarily checked the youth movement by grabbing the runner-up sput with a 33-3265. Tied with 66s, were: Bob Shields, a long-hitting duh pro from Wichita Falls, Tex., Tom Talkington. club pro from Ypsi lanti, Mich , Buddy Sullivan, Yuba City, Calif , Harold Kneece, Aiken, S C., and Dave Marr last year winner of the Greenhriar open. The veteran Marty Furgol was "grouped with Thome Wood, High Point, N.C., and Bob Wagner, San Jose, Calif, at 67. Bob Goalby. winner at Los An geles last month; the South Afri can Gary Player, currently the leading money winner; and Jack Fleck carded 68s. IPOIRT WAYNE SCOn, Sports Editor Friday, February 17, 1961 PAGE 1-B Pelicans Seeking 12th SOC Victory There is only one Southern Oregon Conference game sched uled for the Klamath Union Pelican varsity basketball team this weekend but it ought to be a good one. The Pels left this afternoon, In company with the junior varsity and sophomore squads, for Med ford where all three clubs will do battle with the Black Tornado this evening. The sophs and the Jayvees are slated to go at 6:30, the Wild cats to appear in the Med ford High gym, while the JV crew will play the preliminary to the main event at the usual site of Med ford home games. , Still unbeaten in league play and still perched atop the list of Oregon A-l prep squads, the Pels are seeking their third straight win over the Tornado. Their final meeting of the '61 sea son will be played in Klamath Falls on March 4, the last game of the regular slate. Pelican coach Dean White noted that he would probably start Gary Patzke, Ray Taylor, Wayne Dennis, Freddie Biehn and Shcrm Allen but also said he might make a last minute change in the lineup depending on the situation. The Pels are still without the services of guard Wally Palm berg and center Bruce Brickner, and, although they have faced the rest of the league successfully without them, tonight's action is tiie big one. Standing by for immediate reserve duty If necessary this eve ning are KenJ Hunsaker, Bob Lapsley, Ron Brisbon, Dana Ash and Rich Bogatay.

North Carolina, which has sixth straight victory and widened I lost Larry Brow n and Don Walsh their Skvline Conference lead toiby Weaver's action, now leads the Bobsledders Take Stock Of Chances LAKE PLACID. N Y. IAPI-A duel between Italy's defending jchampion Eugenio Monti and rec lord holder Stan Benham of Lake Placid appeared more likely than ever today as bobsledders of ten i nations took stock of their chances in the world four-man champion ships starting Saturday. I Monti, winner of his fifth straight two-man championship last weekend, and Benham. who holds the record of 1:08.88 for. the mile-long Mt. Van Hoevenberg' run. gained the favored starting positions in the draw Thursday. Monti will start in the No. 7 slot and Benham No. 8. The starts are rotated to minimize the ef fects of a slow track at the be ginning and a rough one at the end. The middle places are con sidered best. Germany's Franz Schellc. who twice Drake Benham s record ui practice, drew the No. 6 position. Sergio Zardini, driver of Italy's No. 2 sled and another of the fa vorites, drew No. 15. The second U.S. sled, driven by Larry McKil lop of Saranac Lake, will start in ltth position. The championship is decided on the total times for four runs down ! the icy. twisting course. i The Mt. Van Hoelenberg run was closed to practice today. Some of the darkhorse entries in the 15-slcd field are England's Bill McCowen and Austria's Paul Asle, both of whom bettered 1:09 Thursday, and two veteran Swiss drivers. Max Angst and Hans Zoller.

Louis at Detroit Teenagers Won't Settle Cold War, But High Jump Record May Fall NEW YORK (API Unruffled John Thomas has geared every muscle in his towering frame to ward defeating Valery Brumel the high jumper not Brumel the Rus siantonight. The Boston University student wants to win the classic indoor meeting the world's best jumpers at the New York AC games so much he can taste it. He sees it as a com;etitive super-challenge. But Thomas, l!, bristles at what he terms an "ignorant" concep tion that two teen-agers can con duct the cold war or settle the missile race over a quivering cross bar. . "I don't like the public placing! international issues on the compe tition of ni Motes from two coun tries." said Thomas who normal ly is a lad of few words. "I'm quite sure Brumel feels the same way. If I win tonight it doesn't mean the United Slates is better. If he wins, it doesn't mean Russia is belter. "And it doesn't mean in a sec ond meeting thai the loser of the first will be a killer thirsting for revenge." Thomas, son of a Cambridge. Miss., bus driver, has made the seven-loot high jump a common place clearing thai mark or high er on 57 competitive occasions. His world record of 7 feel, 3t inches remains intact despite Brumel's historic 7-4'i leap in doors at Leningrad Jan. 28. Rea son: Tie International Amateur i finish at the Rome Olympics. Athletic Federation which passes! Brumel and Robert Shavlakadze on world records reluses to rec.-beal him on jumps of 7-1, the ognize indoor performances. Hatter winning the gold medal on For Thomas this is the long-itlie basis of fewer tries. But Thorn awaited rematch of his third place .is won't stand for any talk about Demaret Unhappy With Play Slowness DUNED1N. Fla. (AP - Jimmy Demaret was bemoaning Ihe slow ness of play ill big golf tour naments and the varying condi tions for play during a day, help ing some, hurting others. I "I think all tournaments with large fields eventually will have 'shotgun' starts." the three-time Masters winner said between rounds of the Professional Golfers Association Seniors championship in which he is competing for Ihe first time. "That is, at a signal threesomes or foursomes w ill start from each of the 18 tees simultaneously. As it Us, they start a tournament from the first tee, and the whole course is empty, and won't be filled until the first group com pletes lis round." Jimmy, a very real link be tween Ihe younger tournament golfers and Ihe seniors, as he is equally at home with either group, today gels his chance to improve his first round three-undor-par 69 as Ihe 50-54 age bracket goes into action for its second round of the 22nd annual Seniors event. The younger group, or the junior seniors, will be chasing Buck White of Greenwood, Miss., who shot a spectacular 32-3163 Wednesday when the 50-54 con-j leslanls shot their first round. The 55-and-up field played its second round Thursday, with for mer champion Pete Burke of Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y., taking the lead at the halfway point with a total of 137 on rounds of 68 and 69. a revenge motive. "We're looking forward to this meet as a chance to go against the best opposition." said Thom as' coach Ed Flanagan. "Unfortu nately, nine out of every 10 peoplo think of tonight's jumping as Rus sia vs. the United Slate. "Using athletics as a form of cold war contest deviates from the true meaning of sportsmanship," Thomas added. His remarks made up quits a speech for Thomas who prefers to let his achievements do his talking for him. It was an indi cation of how deeply the subject was felt by the normally unemo tional 6-foot-5 athlete. Could this high jump, like some races between outstanding milers, be decided at 6-9, say, because both of you are trying for vic tory, not records1 Thomas was asked. "Sure, it could be decided at any height," was the reply. "My prediction? The winner will go somewhere between 6 and 8 feet." WANTED Dcipcrotoly need work.
