Hagen Shrewdness
In Pairing Golfers
Shortens Odds
Two-Doy Contest Opens
Tomorrow on Tough
Oakland Hills Links
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

DETROIT, July 1.-THE revised
American Ryder Cup golf squad,
drawing four players from Bobby
Jones successful challengers of 194l,
ranked today as surprisingly short
favorite to whip Walter Hagen's
challenge squad in the two-day Red
Gross match starting tomorrow over
the difficult Oakland Hills course,
scene of two National Opens.
Headed by Capt. Craig Wood and
reinforced by Ben Hogan, Jimmy
Demaret and Gene Sarazen, the
cuppers would seem to be long
choices in the rubber match of the
war-orphaned series. but Hagen's
reputation as shrewd lineup
manipulation probably contributed
largely to the popular assumption
that the challengers have bona
fide chance to win.
Hagen, who captained the Amerl-
can forces to four victories in six
matches against Great Britain, will
come to grips late today with Wood
as sealed lineup selections are ex-
changed for tomorrows five four
ball foursome matches. Tomorrow
night they will disclose their line
ups for 10 singles matches Sunday.
Sticks to Holdover Pair.
Wood presumably will stick to
the only holdover pair from the 194l
cup squad-Byron Nelson and jug
McSpaden-and probably will keep
the torrid Texans, Hogan and DEM
aret, intact from the last two chal-
lenge squads. Other cuppers are
Corpl. Vic Ghezzi, Lloyd Mangrum,
Horton Smith, Sarazen and Ed
Dudley.
Hagen has indicated he will pair
Henry Picard and Sam Byrd, Harry
Cooper and Lawson Little, Clayton
Heafner and Ralph Guldahl, and
Jimmy Thompson and Sergt. Jim
Turnesa. Others available are Dick
Metz, AL Watrous, Melvin Chick
Harbert, and Hagen himself who
may share 36-hole assignment to-
morrow with Watrous.
Singles pairings still are a greater
puzzle, but Hogan, Metz and Guldahl
all are unbeaten in pair OF pre-
vious matches in the domestic series.
Guldahls game is considered par
ticularly adaptable to Oakland Hills,
where he won the 1887 National
Open.
sarazen, whose challengers lost
to the cuppers in 1910, has been
shut out both years after compiling
. brilliant international record.
Oakland Hills, just short OF 1000
wards, proved difficult to solve IN
yesterdays practice rounds. Wood
was one over par for the best
score.
Pick Composite Golfers.
