VETERAN GOLFER
TURNS IN SECOND
CONSECUTIVE 81
BY FRITZ LITTLEJOHN

DURHAM, March 25.-lR5Craig
Wood, hot after his first Individual
tournament victory since 1941, the
National Open, shot his second
straight today to lead the field
after SO holes of the Y hole Dur
ham open.
The blond veteran, pro at the
Winged Foot Club, Mamaroneck,
N. Y, put together a five under
par 80 on the first nine and even
par IS on the back stretch as he
bid for $1,000 first money in the
S., 1000 event with half mark score
of 1874.
Ward on his heels one stroke
back were two other seasoned cam
paigners, Bryon Nelson of Toledo,
the pre-tourney favorite who add
ed 81 to his opening for a 1876
total and Jimmy Hines of Amster-
dam, N. Y, leader with Wood yes
terday, who had 67-67-135.
The three vets had things to
themselves, at least six strokes
ahead of the rest of the field, but
Harold Jug) I1cSpanden, the lead
ing money winner of the winter
tour, sounded warning he might
have to be contended with by
knocking out a three-under par So
to move from 10th place to a tie
for fourth at al.
Deadlocked with him were John
ny Bulla, the commercial pilot
from Atlanta who learned to play
on courses in this neighborhood,
and little Tony Penna of Dayton,
O., all three had identical scores
Of 72-69-141.
Wood had three brides and an
eagle and no bogeys on the rela-
lively easy first nine holes, but
only matched par on the difficult
in nine which was heightened by
so yards today, converting the last
hole from a pal three to par
four and making standard figures
for the Hillandale layout 1882.
Ell Furgol of Detroit hammered
out his second straight u for a
144, the best among the amateurs
as the field was reduced to 60 for
the final SO holes tomorrow at the
Hope Valley Country Club.
Scores of 165 or better qualified
for tomorroW's play.
Wood, who won the Witcha Open
in 1941 and with Jimmy Demaret
COPIED round robin meet at Mimi
eapolis in 1913, played almost per-
feet golf t ". He had three
brides in four holes going out and
topped it off with his eagle three
on the 475-ye d ninth. oming back
he dropped stroke t. par on the
thirteenth, but evened it up with
four on the 525-yard 10Th.
His card:
Par Out $500. AS 1853 445-37

Par In ..-.... .434 4, 544-35-72
Wood .... 49,. -434 53d 444 -35-67
Nelson again displayed his COM
plete mastery of irons, but frit-
tered away s les on the greens,
missing for Hooters on the sixth
and eight holes, after birdieing
three, four md five in a row. He
bogeyed IA when he missed the
green, but made remarkable
curved, hook i out of the woods
on the next hole for a birdie three
on the 420-y d hole.
Hines bagged three birds on
each nine, but bogied no. Z and no.
II when he was trapped.

Norris Hurls No-Hit
Game Against Parkers

The Masonboro Ramblers rack
ed up their second victory OF the
season over the Winter Park base
ball team by a score of 17-2 as
speedballer S. Norris handcuffed
the Parkers completely for a no.
hit game.
Norris also paced the Rambler
offensive by cracking out double
and two singles in four trips to the
plate. Catcher Kirkham collected
two hits for four tries. The Win
ter Parkers garnered their two
runs off Norris, who struck out Is
batters, on errors.

and alterations as compared to
the regular CO cargo ship.

Cold Weather .lppetites

With the arrival of cold weather,
appetites take on a new zest What
is more indicative Of good health
than a lusty enjoyment of good
food? Certainly it is pleasure to
be the cook for an appreciative au-
dience. 1t would appear to be the
perverse person whose appetite is
not stimulated by winter weather.
A word to the wise Is sufficient,
however. II you eat and be merry
you must be sure to exercise and
not relax in the idea that ones
need of energy providing foods Is
higher In cold weather due tU an
increase in muscular tension Of the
body. You may not indulge in
heartier meals and remain indoors
like a hot house rose, and not ex-
pect to reap a little excess baggage
in the form of body weight. Cold
weather calls for winter sports and
tramps In the snow as well as ap-
petizing food.
Perhaps meat or the flavor Of
meat seems more necessary in win
ter menus. This may be q problem
for some families from the stand
point Of money as well as points. 1t
must be remembered that basically
in menu planning, meat should
supplement generous amounts Of
milk, vegetables, fruits, eggs, and
whole grain bread and cereals.

4. Take on a regular job If 1t

Washington, Jan. ID - Your VIM
ter vegetables will not cost as much
as they did last year. However, the
new rollback prices are not going
as far back as was hoped when the
preliminary announcement was
made in october. Somebody miscal-
culated on figuring margins for
various dealers. and more had to be
added along the line.
Lima beans, snap beans, cabbage,
eggplant. lettuce, carrots, cauli-
flower, celery, cucumbers, peppers,
peas, spinach, and tomatoes are
the Is vegetables listed for the first
roilback. When the preliminary an
nouncement of the new ceiling
prices was made, 1t was expected
that they would be low on such less
essential vegetables as peppers, Gel
cry and cauliflower in order to dis
courage production. In the mean
time, however, the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics has announced
that acreage in caulifower and cell
cry is greater in 1914 than in 1913;
and the 1914 winter acreage of pep
pers in Florida far exceeds the
large 1943 harvest. So apparently
these vegetables will still be found
in your markets, and at somewhat
lower prices.
AGE BEFORE BEAUTY
With cheese at 10 points a pound
you are not apt to toss away that
sad piece of aged cheese which
turns up on reviewing the refriger-
ator However, it is encouraging to
know that food experts have found
that cheese aged IL to Is months
proves best for cooking. Fresh
cheese generally becomes stringy or
