FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. 10
UJP)-Ben Hogan shot a 65 over
the Colonial club course here the
other day and Immediately every
one began moaning over what was
going to happen to the layout When
the best golfers started operating
on it in the national open cham
pionship here next June.
I talked to Hogan and he said,
Don't worry about Colonial; when
they get it fixed up it will take
care of itself. It'll be plenty tough
even without those open cham
pionship jittters that hit all of us
when we tee off in the big one. y
AS further, and final check, 1
got Lawson Little, who'll defend his
title there next summer, to play
Colonial with me. I won't give you
my opi~ n or score. There isn't
an thing as an easy course
could hook out of bounds
olland tunnel. Little was
/ the course in 81 with a
,.Iree-putt green on the fifteenth
hole. And like Hogan, Little took
exception with the folk who con-
sidered it a push-over course.
"You must remember" Ii It'll e
pointed out after his round, that
Ben and 1 didn't play the Colon
ial thatll be waiting for the boys
in June. It'll be we'll over 1000
yards long when Perry Maxwell gets
through stretching it, and that's
pretty fair distance, even for out
here in the plains country And
you saw for yourself that there
is little or no rough now. But
there will be. They'll let that
Bermuda grass grow and then give
it a wetting down. And If you
have ever tried to hit out of that
stuff you know what it is"
Neither Little nor Hogan played
the third, fourt or fifth holes
as they'll be in June because they
are being completely revamped. And
they are going TO be great holes,

leafs from title consideration.
For Holtville it was the secono
win of the season and turned an
otherwise disastrous campaign lnto
something of a success and promised
better things for the Vikings IN
the 1910 race.
Gene Maynard, hard running
back. again led the Holtville attack
and chalked up most OF the yardage
gained by the Vikings. He received
better than average aid from MS
team mates who turned IN thelr
outstanding defensive performance
of the season.
John Williams, Minter and Full
back Burnett were the Leading
ground gamers for Brawley, but
lacked the punch to give Brawley
score on its only chance in the
first half push.
Brawley's only real threat of the
game came as a result of blockedg
Holtville punt which gave the Wild
cats possession of the ball on the
Viking "a.
Burnett galloped to the Holtville
7 on a reverse. It was then that the
Holtville line dug In and stopped
the Brawley offense.
The third quarter was battle of
defenses with neither team gaining
an edge but Brawley began to move
down the field as the fourth quar-
ter got under way.
A penalty against Holtville for
interference on the pass receiver
gave Brawley a first down on the
Holtville As yard line. Minter faded
back to pass, was rushed and made
an attempt to throw the ball away.
At that point Zumstein appeared,
on the scene, grabbed the pigskin
and pushed his ponderous bulk at
unprecedented speed toward the
Brawley goal line.
Two tacklers tried to head him
off but Zumstein went the distance.
Maynard ran end for the extra
point.
Holtville and Brawley line play
was particularly outstanding with
Hall, Miyagi and Ulloa standing
out for Brawley, Manchester, Fer
guson, Sunni and Zumstein showing
best for Holtville.
Maynard for Holtville and Will
liams for BraWley were the best
backfield performers.

CHICAGO, April 17.-R -Rollie
Hemsley says his ~rollicking days
are gone forever - and that this
time he's going to make it stick.
1t looks as though the cookbook
ing Cleveland catcher means it. For
O. year he's been a model of dcport-
ment, a far cry from the "Rcllick-
ing Rollie" who wended his merry,
oft-times uproarious, way through
almost q decade of baseball, leaving
an amazing trail of fines, srspen-
sions and headaches.
I've quit drinking" he grinnsd
today as he relaxed under a rub
down of bruises suffered catching
the no-hit blazers of Bob Teller.
III admit I must have been quite
a problem for a while. But that's
owe now. 1 simply decided I'd have
to quit to stay in the majors. No
more Of those old days for me-"
Manager Oscar Witt is convinced
that Rollie means it. He feels so
good about this reformation he even
went so far as to admit that Mrs.
Hemsley no longer travels regularly
with the club. About a year ago,
Oscar said, Mrs. Hemsley "a paid
a salary, plus expenses, just to wait
at the dressing room door each aft
ernoon, capture "Rollicking Rollie''
as he came out and deliver him 10
