Hasu Of Finland Rated
Good BET al 5to lin
Combined Ski Test
BY the Associoted Press

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. a.
The odds are 5 to l against him,
but don't sell Heikki Hasu of Fin
land short in the combined event
of the world ski championships
which will be completed with
the 18-kilometer Q1-mile) cross
country run at Rumford, Me-, to-
morrow.
The five against Hasu, 1948
Olympic champion in this double
barreled snow feature, are the
Norwegians who finished ahead of
him yesterday in the jumping half
of the competition.
Hasu is the Paavo Nurmi of the
skis, winning fourth place in the
Olympic 18-kilometer. It,was that
placing which helped him take the
Olympic combined title.
The combined winners points
are determined approximately 45
per cent on how he did in the
jump and SIS per cent on where
he finished in the cross-country.
Race in Maine Tomorrow.
The snow twin bill will be de-
cided in Maine tomorrow because
there is desperate shortage of
the white stuff in this area
where the 1882 Olympic Games
we're all but rained out and where
the 1949 world bobsled races were
curtailed by warm weather last
year.
Last night all the runners of
the nine competing nations started
the 300-mile trek to the Maine
midtown where the 40-kilometer
(25-mile) relay also is booked for
Sunday and the 50-kilometer al
mile) grind for Monday. The
world jumping title. however, will
be decided here Sunday.
Simon Slaattvik, a Norwegian
railroad engineer, fioated off the
lip of the 65-meter Intervales
Jump three times yesterday to
gain 231 points for the lead at the
halfway point in the combined.
He had the longest Jump of the
day, 223 feet, and also was almost
perfect in form.
The five judges gave out only
two los all day-20 is perfect-and
Slaattvik got both.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2.-One
of baseball's old time pitching
stars, Walter DutchO Ruether,
gazed at 1850 calendar and
grunted:
"I was born 81 years too soon. -
Now crack scout for the New
York Giants, Ruether was think
ing about the 100000 paid a
California high school lad, Paul
Petit, a southpaw pitcher, by the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
The deal sent Ruether'S mind
back to the spring of 1913 in San
Francisco, and a game between
the Chicago White Sox and
little st. Ignatius College, now
known as the University of San
Francisco.
On March 10 of that year a
19-year-old southpaw pitcher
this same Dutch Ruether-electri-
fed the baseball world with an
astonishing performance.
He subdued the White Sox with
one hit and one run for the better
part of nine innings. True, st.
Ignatius lost when the famous
Buck Weaver drilled a hit that
not only scooted between the
si1ortStOD'S legs but the left
fielder's as well. The blow went
for a homer and st. Ignatius lost
AZ.
AS word of Dutch's feat got
around. the scramble was on for
his services-just as it was for
young Petit. Manager Jimmy
Callahan of the White Sox wanted
him, and so did Cap Dillon at
Los Angeles.
The Pittsburgh Pirates got him.

The Hoyas were moving in So

Tucson Open Starts
Today, Demaret SCOTS
AT Idea Of FavWite
By the Associoted Press

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 2.-Well
over a dozen golfers are given a
chance to win the $4,000 Tucson
open which starts today.
Jimmy Demaret. who won the
Phoenix Open last week, says this
probably will be the most wide
open tournament played in 1850.
Demaret and Sam Snead are
generally named as favorites. De-
maret says this is foolish.
"Favorite? There's no such
thing" he declared" I say there
are Is or 80 men who can take
first place. To single out one of
them and say he is going to win
is bit silly.
'''The course is short, wide and
easy. 1t is in good condition. The
green's are fast. The weather is
warm and perfect. Everything
points to low scores.
"Take look at yesterdays pro-
amateur scores. These show you
how many players are on their
game" ! .
Many of Demaret's facts are ac-
curate. The Ell Rio course is only
6,400 yards long. The fairways
are fiat and wide. The greens are
big. The whole layout is so simple
to the experts that Sd of them
broke par in yesterdays pro-
amateur.
Chandler Harper, Portsmouth,
Va, and Johnny Revolta, the FL
Rio pro, both tied the course rec
ord with cards of 81. eight under
par.
Snead three-putted the 18th
green, but still finished with 81.
DR.. Cary Middlecoff. Ormond
Beach, Fla, National Open cham
pion, and Tex Consolver, Wichita,
Kans., also rounded into shape for
today's play with Gas.
Take a look at some of the
other scores and you'll see what
Demaret means. Six pros went
around in IS; another four had
Cos. There was hardly room on
the score card. to list the II men
with 67s; II had 68s and another
II had COS.
Demaret and Otto Greiner of
Baltimore. both of whom had 65s,
and Emory Zimmerman, Portland,
Greg. split the cash in the pro-
amateur event. With the help of
their partners each came in with
best ball scores of 60.

Figures in Speculation
On Lumbeuu Successor
BY the Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis, Feb. O.
The Coach Wanted" sign was up
here today for the first time in
81 years.
There's never been any head
coach of the Green Bay Packers
except Earl L. (Curly) Lambeau,
who resigned yesterday to take a
similar job-and the vice presi-
dency-with the Chicago Car
dinalS.
The Packers management an
nounced Immediately that the Job
is wide open. And word came
from Baltimore that Cecil Isbell,
a former Green Bay great under
Lambeau, would like the job.
On top of that Lambeau said
in Chicago that he'd be happy to
have Isbell on his Cardinal staff
That leaves the rumor field
rampant. OF course there's been
no time as yet for formal appli-
cations. But mentioned in excited
sidewalk conversation here are
such prospects as Don Hutson
the great Alabama and Packers
end; Gene Ronzani, present quar-
terback coach of the Chicago
Bears. and Clark Shaughnessy, Ln-
signed coach of the Los Angeles
Rams.
Hutson Now in Business.
Hutson, without doubt the
greatest pass-catcher in pro foot
ball, is a businessman here. In
past seasons, since his retirement
five years ago, he has assisted
Lambeau in coaching Packer ends
His popularity is unquestioned
but his coaching skill is unproven
Ronzani was quoted earlier
this winter as being interested in
Packers coaching job if it should
open up. That was before Lam
beau was offered a two-year con-
tract at $4,000 annually-which
he never signed. Shaughnessy S
name was banded about in Car
dinal discussions before Lambeau
took the post.
Next to speculation on Lam
oeau's successor. the top topic
here today was the chance CT a
Packer-Cardinal meeting next
fall. The two teams are in diff
lferent divisions of the new Ma
tional-American Football League
and can't possibly play a league
game.

Ruether sighed. "The Pirates
gave me $500 for signing"
And in those days, $500 was
good bonus money.
He also got a guarantee of at
least one months salary of $500,
which was also a high stipend for
even experienced ball players.
However. after couple of months
at the Pirate training camp at
Little Rock, Ark, Ruether and the
Pirates parted company.

years.
1t was Lambeau who 81 years ago returned
to his native Green Bay after year at Notre

to develop into a six-time world champion.
For the Acme Packing Co. it was to mean

which was the amount asked by Lambeau

crucifed on a cross that was
compounded Of hate, bigotry,
ignorance, McCarthyism, mis-
representation and downright
calumny.
Graham stated that he would
rather be defeated than to speak
disrespectfully of his opponent.
And so after having been de-
nounced by the mob as a social
list, a communist and a traitor to
his country, many Of those who
had voted for him before skunk
cravenly away and gave their
votes to his adversary. A gentle
man seldom can win in an ur-
gentlemanly game like politics.
But Graham was a gentleman to
the last.
And thus this great Christian
gentleman, scholar, patriot, and
statesman will have to surrender
the seat that he has SO honorably
graced.

Comments on Senator Graham's Defeat

il can be expected that the Uni
ted Nations viii continue to seek
his assistance.
This gentle, brave, and emf
nently able man has long been
regarded as the No. citizen of
North Carolinasome say, Of
the Southland the question nat
urally arises as TO why he doesn't
make his State an acceptable
Senator. The answer appears to
be that he is not enough of a
politician. What he can do for
his State, his region or his coun-
try, he cannot do for himself. He
has demonstrated a genius for
adjusting differences where
they exist without hate" a
genius even for eliminating hate
at times, but where the hate is
turned on himself he appears to
be helpless, incapable of return
ing it effectively, even unwilling
to do 50.
1t was a hate campaign that
defeated him, a campaign that
could not be met by turning the
other cheek. The forces seeking
his Senate seat for their own
uses succeeded in making DIR.
Graham a personal devil on the
race issue. In the first primary
much Of the emphasis was placed
on his alleged radiealism and
communistic sympathies, but he
came through with a vote almost
equal TO the combined vote Of his
opponents. Therefore in the run
of primary all pretense Of de-
cency and fair-play was dropped
and the race question was press
ed in q manner not seen in North
Carolina in q half century.
The eminently respectable law
yer, in whose name this job was
done, but who endeayored TO dis
sociate himself from some
aspects of it, may be comfort
able in the seat he is taking, but
that isn't too easy TO believe.

The result Of the run-of pri-
mary was TO turn Senator Gra-
hams lead of 5000 in the first
primary to q majority Of %, 900
for his opponent. There is no
doubt that his defeat is a setback
10 President Truman's hopes in
the field Of social reforms, but it
has another aspect. The reversal
could not have been effected
without playing upon the deepest
emotions and passions Of the
South. In the first campaign the
race question figured, but if was
treated with some restraint and
was balanced by other attacks
upon Senator Graham. In the
second, racial bitterness was
given full rein. Senator Graham,
who had been q member of the
Presidents Civil Rights Com
mission, was at pains TO enpha-
size that he had been in disagree
ment with many Of its proposals,
including a federal fair employ
ment act. But repeated disavow-
ais were not sufficient TO prevent
the opposition from raising ex-
treme and groundless charge.
that he favored abolishing segre-
cation ii all forms.
Senator Graham, though rep
resenting the currents Of a broad
and humane liberalism, has
never been a fanatic. His years
as president Of the University
Of North Carolina won him a
wide reputation and a devoted
personal following. But when the
forces Of race fear and hatred
were loosed, all this ayailed moth
ing. What has been done against
Senator Graham, turning the
tables completely and converting
victory into defeat, can and will
be done with equal assiduity
against others. The realization is
a SOLDERING one TO all who are con-
eerned with the stature and
probity of the national legigla-
ture.

Mr.. Smiths general position
is perhaps suggested by the fact
that his success was warmly vel
coined by the Chairman Of the
Republican National Committee,
Guy George Gabrielson. Mr.. Ga
brielson said that the Smith vic
tory "is q severe rebuff TO Presi-
dent Truman" Reports from
North Carolina suggest that this
was not all that was involved. A
great many North Carolina yot-
ers, perhaps enough to have
turned the tide, had been led TO
believe that Senator Graham
supported q federal fair employ
ment practices act. As q matter
Of fact, he did not. He believes
in doing everything possible TO
improve relations between the
races but he does not believe In
Fastening this process by federal
mandate.
As q professor for fifteen
years, president for nineteen
years. Of the University of North
Carolina, DR.. Graham has been
an advocate Of civil liberties, of
the rights Of labor and Of more
high-minded policies than could
be enumerated in q column of
type. Once In q while he burned
his fingers when he inadvertent-
ly found Communists on commit
tees Of which he was a member,
but he La as far from being q
Communist as Mr.. Smith, or Mr..
Gabrielson. One hopes that this
defeat does not mean the end of
his public life.

Frank P. Grahan's defeat
was a definite rebuff to Presi-
dent Truman's leadership. At the
same time Republicans should
not carry their celebrating too
far The race issue appears to
have played an unusually impor-
tant part in the last mir~te vote
shifts which converted the Sen
ator's bandwagon ride to dis
agter.
The Senator was falsely ac-
cused by his primary opponent
Of supporting a federal F.E.P.C.
bill. He was, in fact, minority
Of the Presidents Civil
Rights Commission and disap-
proved Of federal interference on
race matters. But, az a South
erner, he was courageously
fortnight in his demands for
better local handling Of the prob
lem. And IT is hard TO rejoice in
