Three Marks Broken
In Purdue Relays;
billiard Ties Two
BY the Associofsd Press

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Mar. 27.-A
crack field of 297 athletes assaulted
Purdue relays marks today and to-
night came up with three new
records and three that tied the best
Of five previous meets.
Harrison billiard, Baldwin-Wal-
1ace's hurdler, merely tied the rec
ords in the 60-yard low and high
hurdles, but the low was his own
American indoor record Of 6.8 sec
onds that he set last year.
Fred johnson OF Michigan State
gave billiard something to worry
about by leaping the low sticks in
6.8 seconds in trial heat. He faded
to fourth in the finals and billiard
won his Sind and 53rd consecutive
races. The Baldwin Wallace spe-
cialist won the high barrier event
in IA seconds, equalling the Purdue
Relays mark made by Charles Had
Of Chicago in 1943.
Charles Fonville, the big muscle
man from Michigan, missed his
American indoor record in the shot
put by almost four inches, but set
a new relays standard of Sc feet
63a inches. Bill Bangert of Purdue
set the old record of 81 feet 75s
inches in, 1946.

Charlotte Open Golf
Is Held Up by Rain
BY the Assoeio.ed Press

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Mar. PA
heavy early morning thunderstorm
today forced postponement OF the
third round of the $4,000 Charlotte
Open golf tournament.
The delay set up a 36-hole windup
for tomorrow with Melvin Chick
Harbert of Detroit nursing one
stroke lead after two 66 rounds.
Harbert's feat of twice beating par
70 of the 6,410-yard Myers Park
Club course by six strokes was only
good enough to give him mere
stroke edge over runnerup Lawson
Little of Cleveland. Little racked
up a 65 yesterday to 60 with a first
day 68 for 1873.
Another stroke back after two 67s
were defending champion Cary
Middlecof, Memphis dentist, and
Frank Stranahan, Toledo (Ohio) ,
amateur.
Last years tournament produced
the second playof here in four years.
Middlecoff and George Schoux,
Mamaroneck, N. Y, each shot 277
to tie over "a holes and they were
only one stroke ahead Of five others,
including Little. Middlecod then
went on to rout Schoux in the play
off, shooting GA to equal the COM
petitive record set by Lloyd Man
grum of Chicago.
If it comes up mud, and that
appeared likely. Harbert will be
faced with the same situation he
overcame two weeks ago in splash
ing home with the Jacksonville
Fla0, Open under conditions he
termed the worst he ever had seen.
Middlecoff welcomed the unex-
pected day off. He trimmed five
strokes from par yesterday with the
aid of an eagle on No. II, although
he had heavy cold.
Also not out of 1t, although f1ve
strokes off his opening 65 was Pete
Cooper, Ponte vedra, Fla. His 10
yesterday put him in fifth place
with 1856.
'Schoux, with 1856, was in sixth
place, stroke ahead of National
Open Champion Lew Worsham Of
Washington, D. G.

Navy-Irish Grid Tilt
Plans Unchanged
by the Asseeioisd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Mar. T.-Re-
ports that Navy was considering
shifting the Notre Dame game from
Baltimore to New York were spiked
today by Capt. e. B. Taylor, acad-
eny director of athletics.
Rumors of the shift were started
by indefinite plans for modernizing
Baltimore's Municipal Stadium,
which might reduce its seating
capacity next autumn. But Capt.
Taylor said that If any change was
made, Notre Dame would be asked
to serve as home team at Mid
western location.

Baylor a 27-26 margin in the inter-
mission.
The Nuggets, forced to stave of
a desperate second-half rally by
Oakland, won their game in the
final two minutes on pair of free
throws by Ward Gibson and Ray
Lipscomb. These two fouls gave
them a 57-52 advantage and null
lifted the Bittners' three-point squirt
in the waning seconds.
Vince Boryla, former Notre Dame
star who plans to return to South
Bend next year, was the big gun for
Denver. He tailed 81 points before
he twisted his knee with only 20
seconds remaining, to lead all the
scorers. A later examination re-
vealed that Boryla had strained a
muscle in his left knee.
Rallying in the second half, the
Bittners twice pulled within one
point, but missed a glorious oppor-
tunity to knot the count in the
last 10 seconds when John Higgins
drove into the bucket all alone after
grabbing long pass by Barksdale
and missed an easy layup.

I maintain we are not. You
don't need any particular strength
to hit a golf ball. I can't even
pick up so pounds of ice.
It's learning how to swing well
and playing with your head as
well. I always like to know what
the fellows ahead of me in a
tournament are doing. Then I
govern my play accordingly.
know if I can or must risk taking
a chance, or whether playing safe
is the smarter course.
THE payoff in golf is the score.
You have to learn how to score.
You can play beautifully to the
green and then miss a short putt.
Or you can play miserably off the
tee and sink a lucky chip. The
net result is the same. The score
keeper doesn't as 'how-he wants
to know how many
II consider myself fairly even
tempered and feel lucky on, that
score. My nerves have never
hurt my game much. One of
the better golfers of recent years
had trouble of that sort. He'd
eat a good breakfast, then tighten
up and lose it and go out and
play his round. The same per-
formance would be repeated at
lunchtime.
when I'm through with regu-
lar competitive golf, after I've
provided for a comfortable future
I'd like to play an occasional
tournament for pleasure as much
as profit. I know would never
make a teacher-I just couldn't
stand worrying over somebody
else's swing.
Another thing that makes the
life of touring golfer so diff
cult is that so many of his ac-
tions can be and sometimes are
misinterpreted.
eff he's seen taking a drink,
he's a drunk. If he's seen max
ing a friendly wager. he's a gam
bier. If he talks to girl, he's
running around with women.
There's not much night life out
side hotel lobbies.
Then, too, If he can't Instantly
remember the face or name of
every person he's ever met while
touring over a hundred cities in
the course of a year between ex-

considered a snob.
Last year I figured my ex-
penses ran $4,000. This year
they probably will be higher. So,
you see, you've got to win.
