lead for the $4,000 San Francisco
Victory Open golf tournament today

the 72-hole event with total of 1877.
The former National Open and
PGA champion from Toledo, Ohio,

stroke more than his yesterdays low
score, but sufficient to enable him
to pull away from the fast field.
Par for the stretch is 72-72-l44.
He gained one stroke on his hot
test rival, Harold Jug McSpaden
OF Philadelphia, who maintained the
same subpar pace to add another 10

kcLarney' Late
Goal Wins for
Tiger Quint
Raiders Given Score
After Holding Long
Leod Coined EorIy

Wilson shaded Central, 27-25, and
Western defeated Roosevelt, 1924,
in public high school championship
basket ball series games last night
at Tech, each of which wound up,
after long periods of dull going, in
blazes of excitement.
The Green Tigers of Wilson, who
scored their second victory in two
series games, won a small advantage
at the start and managed to main
tain until the final minute when a
field goal by Pete Panturis, from
near the middle of the floor, put the
Vikings on top for the first time,
by 1924.
In spite of its slight advantage,
which never increased beyond 4
points, Wilson appeared the winner
all the way until Panturis' take-a-
chance shot clicked. With only Sec
onds remaining of the contest, Pan
turis' effort, it appeared, would gain
dramatic victory for Central and
one that Pete would deserve as an
individual. He was by far the out
standing player on any of the four
teams engaged in the double -header.
McLarney's Shot Decides It.
But up popped the devil, from
Central's viewpoint, In Tommy Nc
Larney. This young worthy, with
out a point to his credit until ,tow,
spanned half the court with a bulls
eye pitch that regained the upper
hand for the Tigers, 1925. A few
seconds before the gun barked Eddie
Lange dropped in a free toss to
make 1t 27-25.
McLarney's single goal over
shadowed the more consistent shoot
ing Of Stew Brown. Who with Russ
Keith led the Tigers with Z points
each.
The defeat was heartbreake,
for Panturis who, with Is Joints
