CIO Backs Down in
Shasta Dam Picket
Row.: Seeks Relief

REDDING, Cal. March 2. CUP)
The Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations capitulated today in its
stubborn opposition to Shasta
county anti-picketing ordinance as
leaders prepared to send a mass
committee of 100 unionists to Red
ding in an attempt to obtain food
for dependents Of So jailed pickets.
The union called off its plan to
maintain a picket line at Delta for
"a hours, but announced the patrol
would be reestablished tomorrow
morning.
At first it seemed that the union
and Shasta county authorities had
reached a deadlock with neither
side willing to give in, and con-
ditions under which the SO pickets
were held presented an acute prob
lem as the county jail is filled to
overflowing.
The union, however. taking cog
nizance of the needs Of the fami-
lies of the jailed members, declar-
ed a "a hour letup in order to par
ly to the state relief administration
for food for more than 100 women
and children.

wealth of promising material, Co.
lumbus Universitys boxing team will
launch its ninth year in collegiate
boxing Friday night, meeting De
Sales College of Toledo. Ohio, at
Turner's Arena at 8:15 o'clock.

include, in addition to De Sales, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Louisiana
Tech. A fifth match is being sought
by Dean John R. Fitzpatrick.
Dealt a crushing defeat here last
year, De Sales this time invades with
a fine chance of snatching revenge,
having experienced and talented per-
formers in Bud Brazil, 240-pound
heavyweight; George and Hugh
Graft, brothers who fight at 155 and
ITS pounds, respectively, and Dick
Rosenfelder, clever lightweight.
Bud Lazier, knockout specialist
who was idle last year due to an
appendectomy, has returned to the
Columbus squad and will box at 135
pounds providing he can make the
weight. If not, he will be showed
into the 145-pound berth, with
Ernest Silva, a newcomer, inheriting
the lightweight job.
Out of his available material
Coach Jim Mcnamara has decided
definitely on only one assignment,
having named Phil Appel for the
120-pound Columbus representative.

Harrison S Top Dough
In Crosby Tourney
May Feed Hogs
Newcomer to GoIfing
Fame PoroIIe|ine
Sneod's Career
BY ROBERT MYERS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

DEL MAR, Calf, Jan. 30.-Led by
a newcomer to fame, lanky E. j.
DutchD Harrison, who won the
annual $4,000 Bing Crosby pro-
amateur tournament yesterday, COLTS
nomadic professionals swung East
today after another tour over Cali
fornia's winter trail.
The Arkansas-bor Harrison, who
put together rounds of 69-69 for
36-hole score of 1873, drawled to the
gallery of thousands that he could
use the $500 cash prize to feed my
hogs down home"
Nosed out by one stroke were Hor-
ton Smith, registered with Harrison
from Oak Park, ILL.,, and Byron
Nelson of Reading, Pa. Nelson had
68-71-139; Smith, 71-68-l39, and
each had $500 prize money.
Metz Leads Coin Winners.
Trailing behind were Jimmy Nc
Hale of White Plains. N Y. and
Bill Nary, pro at the Rancho Santa
Fe, scene of the tournament, both
with 140, and one stroke back of
them were Ben Hogan, White Plains,
and Johnny Revolta, Evanston, Ill.
Revolta teamed with Maurie Lux
ford of Hollywood, to capture the
pro-amateur best ball event with a
score of 67-63-130, Revolta winning
5000 himself by the feat.
Summation of the California tour
to name the leaders, showed Dick
Metz of Chicago, who had 145 in the
Crosby affair, earned top money of
$4,000. Harrison, who tied with
Metz in the Oakland open and lost
out in the playof, collected s205l so
during his California stay, and
Jimmy Demaret, Houston, who fin
ished out of the Crosby money, had
$2,O34.
Next Event at Phoenix.
The pros left here for Phoenix,
where they play in pro-amateur
event February 3-5
Harrison's recent history parallels
that 1896 start of Sam Snad. Snead
won the Oakland open to gain ini
tial recognition, came on to win the
Crosby tournament, and then scaled
the golf1ng heights.
Harrison tied for the Oakland
event and won this windup, using one
stroke less than Snead used In his
1887 repeat victory. Snead did not
enter the tourney just closed, but
his competitive course record of 81
was tied yesterday by Revolta and
Frank Hixon, young Pasadena anna
teur, who holed out every putt.
