Weather Is Good
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-After
the first postponement in the a.
year history of the Los Angeles
Open golf championship, the re-
naming SO players teed off ir
good weather in today's third
round of the $4,000 tournament
The field, which was cut to 90
after Saturdays play, took OF
again this morning at the same
stage it wound up Saturday night
Officials toured the course shortly
after dawn today and found that
the courses drainage system
worked well during the night and
put the course IN good playing
shape.
Sundays scheduled third round
was called off in mid-afternoon
after an inch-and-a-quarter of
rain had fallen and made the
course unplayable. In fact, most
of the players thought it was un-
playable all day long, but the
committee delayed postponement.
Finally, when Ben Hogan,
Henry Ransom and Otto Greiner
were playing the 11th hole with
Hogan four over par at the tirne)
the Rules Committee drove up in
a jeep and called off play after
noting water running three feet
deep in gully the players had
to cross.
Barber Must Do 1t Again.
Earlier, 16 players had quit
and Sam Snead was in the club
house, headed for an 80 when he
quit on the 14th hole. Snead said
he was awaiting the committee S
decision.
Jerry Barber, halfway mark
leader with 1877, shot 73 in the
rain for a 210 that would have
netted him a comfortable lead
But all scores were tossed out
and Barber and the others re-
sumed play today from the &c.
hole mark.
After crowds of 5000 and II SOC
had turned out the first two days
only a few hundred were on hand
yesterday, and most Of ttem were
in the clubhouse watching tele-
vision. But all the power went
of and television was out.
Furgol Shoots an 80.
Ed Furgol, who tied for the
f1rst-round lead with a 68, was
playing an iron shot when the
club slipped from his hand, car
omed off three umbrellas and
clipped a spectator slightly across
the nose. After 68 and "a, Furgol
shot 80 for his rained-out- round
Hogan, who had been hav-
ing trouble with photographers
during the tournament, had the
last word yesterday. As he teed
of in the driving rain. he said
he wanted to see all the photog-
raphers following him around.
Only a few Of them did.
