win for Taylor when Jack missed
his drive and pushed his second
into the trees. Taylor's drive was
well down the fairway. Dawes sec

and his third, played from mean
lie, failed to reach the green. Stro-
bel was on in three. Taylor chip
ped too far and missed his putt
for a 5 while Strobel two-putted
for win.
On the 10th hole, both were off
the tee in good shape and their

on the edge and Strobel was left
with ten foot putt for his birdie
four. Dave Clipped boldly, barely
missing holing out and Strobel
knocked his putt in for a win and
the match.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81. up
Surprise at the unexpected
strength of the Los Angeles profess
sional football team, the Brooklyn
Dodgers of the National Pro League
felt fortunate today to have held
the Bulldogs to a 13 to 13 tie in
an intersectional clash yesterday.
The dodgers were trailing by
two touchdowns with only six min
utes to play when they engineered
two touchdown drives to pull the
game from the fire. The Bulldogs
previously trounced three national
league teams, the Chicago Cardi-
mails, Pittsburgh Pirates and Phiia-
delphia Eagles.
The passing arm of Phil Sarboe,
/ former Washington State star,
really saved the day for the Dodg-
ers. With the seconds ticking away
in the last period, he fired 23-
yard touchdown pass to Jeff Bar
rett and later passed to Joe Mani
aci to open a second scoring drive
Tony Kasha scored from the one
inch line to tie the score.
The Bulldogs scored in the Sec
ond period on 32-yard drive
which featured Ed Stark, who went
over the line from the four-yard
marker Greene converted. Sarboe
passed to Lumpkin for touch
down a moment later but the
Dodger touchdown was nullified
when the pass was ruled illegal.
Los Angeles collected another
touchdown early in the fourth
period after Lorenz recovered
Crayne's tumble on the 33-yard
line. Greene shot a short pass to
Gore, who ran 25 yards to pay
dirt. Greene's conversion misfired.
