BY LARRY ROLLINS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb.
26.-RHHenry Picard, the golfing
stylist from Hershey, Pa, led a
wholesale assault on rar in the
1000 St. Petersburg open today
with a first round 66.
Altogether, IS golfers gave par
II a shellacking, but a great nine
hole stretch of 80 earned Picard a
one-stroke margin.
Ralph Guldahl of Chicago, Chick
Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich,
Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa, and
Sam Snead of Hot Springs, Va,
all cracked out 67's.
Jimmy Turnesa of New York,
Herman Baron of White Plains,
N. Y, and Clarence Doser of Sara
sofa, Fla, scored 68's and there
was nine-way tie at G..
Harold (Jug) McSpaden Of Win

mained in a contending position

Chicago; Stanley Horne of Mont

No less than 18 others, including
national oper champion Byron Mel
son of Toledo and Jimmy Demaret
Of Houston, Tex, winner here last
year, shot 70's, an dpars were a
dime a dozen.
Picard, who will switch his af-
filiation to Oklahoma City April
l, made the story, however, by
clipping five strokes off. par in
four consecutive holes. Included in
that splurge was an eagle three on
the fifth, where he Clipped into
the cup from a bunker.
His first-nine 80 was jus a stroke
off the National P.G.A. record.
THE funny part of it, laughed
Picard, 'is that I easily could
have been several strokes lower
except for puts that just wouldn't

KATIE MANAGING
LEWIS TRAINING
Jenkins Getting in Shape for
Ambers. Bout by Drink
ing Goats Milk
By SID FEEDER

POMPTON LAKES, N. j., Feb.
26.-RtThe ''boss" is around
these days, so Lew jenkins Is
drinking his two quarts OF goats
milk every day.
To those who know the Jenkinses
Of Sweetwater, Texas, the boss OF
Mrs. Lew - otherwise Katie
and she has taken over full charge
of the lightweight champions
training for his fight in Madison
Square Garden Friday night with
former 135-pound boss Lou Am
bers.
Lew may be the man Of the
family, but when Katie gives him
the word about anything. the
Sweetwater swatter doesn't argue.
However, for Katie to take COM
mand of Lewis training is some
thing you wouldn't ordinarily ex-
pect. Up to now, Lewis erstwhile
handler, hilarious Hymie Caplin,
handled these details, and in
formed Katie that wives are about
as welcome around a training
camp as shortage of steaks.
Katie didn't believe this on one
occasion last year, and arrived at
Lewis camp one Sunday afternoon
to have it out with Hyrnie. Hymie
chased her right out Of there
but she took Lew with her, lead
ing him by a figurative ear back
to New York where she could keep
an eye on him.
This time Hynie can't make it.
He is awaiting sentence for a re-
cent conviction. So Katie is in
command at the camp here and
is ready to persuadec Lew if he
disobeys such orders as drinking
his goats milk or getting to bed
by eleven. Katie makes sure he
does his road work, too. She PAGES
him on a bicycle as he tr o S
around the Jersey hills. Also on
hand is Lewis manager, F r d
Browning of Dallas, who says Hy-
mie will get his usual cut out of
Fridays fight.
Jenkins hasn't let the feminine
touch around his training camp
bother him q bit. He looks as
good, particularly from a punch
ing angle, as he did when he was
preparing to take the title away
from Ambers last year-which he
did with a three-round knockout. l

PHANTOMS PICKED
TO CAPTURE TITLE
CARDINAL Duke Game Tonight
Is Feature Game in Cage
Meets Opening Round
By FRANK B. GILBRETH

RALEIGH, Feb. 26.-R-North
Cardinals White Phantoms tonight
ruled the odds-on favorites to de-
fend their title, as eight top-rank-
ing Southern conference basket
ball teams prepared for the open
ing round tomorrow Of a sudden
death playoH tournament to decide
the conference championship.
All games will be played in Me-
mortal auditorium here, which can
accommodate upwards of 1000
fans. The semi-finals will be Fri
day night and the finals Saturday
night.
Luck of the draw pitted the top
seeded Phantoms against their hot
test rivals, the Blue Devils Of Duke,
in one of the four opening-round
games. Duke handed Carolina its
lone conference defeat in IS lool
starts during the regular season
But two even hotter rivals-Vir-
ginia Military institute and Wash.
ington and Lee-may provide the
fireworks of the opening-round
play. Athletically speaking. the Ca
diets and Generals have been snub-
bing each other for almost 40
years. The last dual competition
Of the Lexington, Va, schools was
on May IA, 1904, when a baseball
game ended in a riot which saw
stones, bayonets, brass guns and
blasting powder brought into play.
In the other games tomorrow,
second-seeded South Carolina
meets Richmond, and Wake Forest
meets William and Mary.
Here are the starting times Of
the games, together with the re-
cords of the teams in conference
games during the regular season.:
3 p.m.-South Carolina (Won 8,
lost 81 VS.. Richmond (won Z, lost
81.
4:30 p.m.-Wake Forest (won T.,

$50 p.m-North Carolina (won
IA, lost y, VS. Duke (won g. lost
~
The tournament will be opened
officially by Governor j. M.
Broughton, who will toss out ball
to start the South Carolina VS..
Richmond game.
Tickets for the contest tomor-
row night were sold out three days
ago, and scalpers were operating
around Raleigh today. All tickets
for the semi-finals Friday also
have been sold. About 500 seats
remain for tomorrow afternoon,
and less than 200 are left for the
finals on Saturday.
George Glamack, a hook and
crook guy who has scored 440
points in intercollegiate competi-
ton this season, is the main reason
why North Carolina is favored to
retain its championship. Tall
George hooks his shots in from
the side, and "steals" points from
under the basket. He's the No. l
spook of the White Phantoms, and
as Glamack goes, so 60 the North
Carolinians.
Carolina supporters still main
tain that if Glamack hadn't fouled
out Of the last Carolina-Duke game,
the Phamtoms would have gone
through the season without de-
feat in conference competition.
George scored II points before he
was forced out, and Duke finally
won, IS to 33.
In game earlier this season
between the rivals, Glamack
scored % points, and the Phan-
toms beat the Devils 81 to 80.
