PAGES Pro Stars in
Norfh-Soufh Golf
BY WALTER McCALLUM,
Star Staff Correspondent.

PINEHURST, N. c., Nov. BIT
has been a good many years since
an important golf jamboree found
an amateur leading at the halfway
mark. So the North and South
tournament today has an added
flip as probable new star in post
war amateur golf turns up in Cary
Middlecoff.
He Is a first lieutenant in the
Army's Dental Corps and "a years
old.
AS the leader at the halfway
mark, with l29, in a field that in
cludes Hogan, Snead, Metz and
nearly all the seasoned pro top
notchers, Middlecoff may be the an
swer to the prayers of amateurs who
want to see another Bobby Jones
come out of the Simon pures. He is
q tall youngster with a well-grooved
swing.
Uses Only 70 Puts.
Middlecoff, now stationed at VAL
ley Forge Hospital near Philadel-
phia, vanished completely from the
clubhouse yesterday when, after
Hogan and Shute, the first-round
leaders, had slid up to IA over the
second round. and when newspaper
men and photographers were closing
in on the new sensation for pictures
and interviews. Finally, some one
spied him entering the locker room
door.
Where in heck have you been?"
asked one news hound, we've been
looking everywhere for you"
i've been out looking at some
good golfers" said the grinning tall
boy, whose home is in Memphis
Tenn.
1t was more than possible that
over the last two rounds in the tour
ney today the pros would catch and
pass the personable Middlecoff, but
they won't If he maintains the same
brand of putting he showed yester-
day as he used but % puts in one
OF those weird rounds of golf. He
had brace of skies, seven threes
and two in his SO.
Hogan, out in "a, ran into a seven
on the 610-yard 10th hole and began
to lose shot here and another there
and finally staggered home In 40 for
"a, his worst round in months.
Shute, who holed puts from every
where Tuesday, lost his touch yes
terday, and also had IA, bracketed
with Hogan for second place at
66-74-140.
d. C. Golfers Out of Action.
Washington has no competitor in
the closing rounds of the tourney
today. George Diffenbaugh and DR.
Joseph Kendrick of Kenwood were
far too high to qualify with 16O, and
Bill Briggs had 165. Mel Shorey of
Indian Spring picked up after a bad
start.
Next to Middlecoff's performance
perhaps the most amazing thing SO
far in this tourney is the showing
of 43-year-old Gene Sarazen. The
former winner of all the pro titles
has scored brace of Ills and will be
hard to nudge out of the first 10.
An idea of how good Middlecoff
is came at Richmond, where he led
the amateurs. He Is on sick leave
which prompted the usual cracks
from the wise boys.

peting teams"
Formal announcement Of the pol
Icy as applied to all sports is ex-

This would hurt Army and Nav,
no little, unless New York and Bal.
timore instead Of West Point anc
Annapolis could be designated theil
home grounds. Navy by frequent use
virtually has established Baltimorei
Stadium as its home gridiron.
1t would appear, however, that
generally the transfer of football
games to vast municipal stadiums
and the travelling by basket bal
teams, college as well as pro, to huge
indoor arenas away from home fol
tournaments are affected.
