JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March Is.
- Up Sam Snead, who comedies
playing pretty good golf these
days. fired a six-under-par &c to-
day to pull six strokes ahead at the
halfway mark of the $4,000 Jack
sonville open golf tournament.
The long-driving pro from Hot
Springs, Va, defending champion
in the local meet, went out in 81
and took a IS coming back to put
his 36-hole total at 1870.
In second place is the veteran
stylist Henry Picard of Oklahoma

Ed (Porky) Oliver Of Taunton,
Mass, who held second place yes
terday with IS, faltered today and
took "a for 1879.
Today's round was the slamm err S
show all the way. He racked up
five brides going out and picked
up another coming in, slowing up
and playing more conservative
game on the back nine.
Snead started the round by card
ing brides on the 340-yard par-four
first hole, the 451-yard par-five
second and the 370-yard' par-four
third. On the 130-yard fourth, he
was Is feet from the pin on his
tee iron and got down in two for
a par.
The Virginian belted out a 300
yard drive on the 440-yard par
five fifth hole and was high on the
green with crisp iron. He sank
in two for another birdie.
On the sixth, 16O-yarder,
Snead's tee shot was seven feet
from the pin and he dropped it for
his fifth birdie in six holes.
For the rest of the round, the
slammer never quite regained the
feather touch that netted him the
earlier brides. He played steady
golf, however, and was in serious
trouble only once-on the hard
trapped, 300-yard 18th hole.
His drive slanted into the rough
and deep trap separated it from
the Green. Trying chip out Q.
the stubbly rough, his stroke was
weak and the ball popped into the
deep sand.
Calmly studying his lie, he liftee
the ball with a spectacular explo
sion shot and sat it down 10 inches
from the pin. He sank it for the
regulation four.
The 36-hole windup will be play
ed tomorrow, the double rounc
