into its second 1s-hole round over the
wind-swept Indianwood Club course.
Caught of form with shaky 70 in
the opening skirmish for the title yes
terday, the Detroit professional found
himself several strokes behind rugged
field and nine big shots behind dark
horse leader, Harry Hampton Of Chica-

It looked very much % II new
champion was in the making despite
the reputation Of the Black Scot for
comebacks. Three more l0-hole rounds
Of fighting remained, but the "bunkers''
of great stylists ahead and around him
made the task appear to be an i'm
