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

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.

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.

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

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

"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."
