rounds Of play Nelson had pared
that third hole. but this time his
ball went into the brook that
completely surrounds the green.
Nelson took stance 10 take his
penalty shot and the blade OF his
club shaved the chin of a girl
spectator. Last years Tam
OShanter Open winner had to
settle for a DOGGY 5 on the green.
This same crowd robbed Little
of at least a three-way tie for
first place or perhaps a first. The
occasion was the seventeenth fair
way. Little shot from the rough
toward the green and his ball hit
a spectator, caroming off the
spectators Uranium into a trap.
That cost Little a DOGGY ) on
the seventeenth and he finished
one stroke behind Heafner and
Nelson with 2Sl. Little had to
settle for third place as today's
playon was to decide whether
Nelson got first prize Of s., 800 or
second prize of $3.50.
The tournament officials an
nounced there would be no sud

the end of today'S 18-hole playoff.

the ordinarily Steel-nerved Nelson.
one OF the biggest upSets of the
tournament was the failure of
little Ben Hogan of Hershey. Pa,
to fight his way among the lead

Shoot-off that required the use of

A physical fitness program for
Senior boys will be launched at
the Mount Clemens High school
in February, probably during the
hour Immediately preceding the
opening of school in the MORN
ing, Principal Monte McFarlane
said today.
''Now that the drafting Of 10
and 19-year old boys is assured,
we want our graduating seniors
to be in perfect condition before
they're drafted" McFarlane said.
Senior boys are not now re-
quired to take gym, McFarlane
said, due to overcrowded condi-
tons at the school. He said it
might be necessary to eliminate
gym periods for seventh grade
students to make way for the
seniors.
McFarlane predicted the
training will be much more rig
orous than ever offered before.
