Snead Loses Ground
Quick and Furgo| Tie
Him in Crosby Golf
By the Associoted Press

PEBBLE BEACH, Calf, Jan.
14.-Slammin' Sam Snead, the
big favorite, lost ground today and
two lesser lights caught up with
him to throw the Bing Crosby
$4,000 Invitational Golf Tourna-
ment into a three-way tie of 141
at SO holes.
Three-under-par scores of 50
for Marty Furgol of Albuquerque,
N. Mex. and Smiley Quick of Cul-
yer City. Calf, gave these two a
grip on the lead along with Snead,
who toured the course today in
par 70. Both Furgol and Quick
had rounds of 1896.
Snead set the pace alone In
yesterdays opening round with a
sub-par SO, fashioned in distress
ing weather conditions.
Hogan Out of 1t.
Meanwhile. hope faded COM
pletely for the slim Texan every
body had been pulling for-Ben
Hogan. Bantam Ben, playing in
his second tournament since his
near fatal automobile accident II
months ago, fired a two over par
"a today to give him a two-round
total of 151.
1t left Hogan 10 strokes off the
pace as the field prepared to
combat the third and final round
of the 54-hole event tomorrow.
Hogan, incidentally, won the
Crosby blue ribbon links derby last
year.
After Hogan's deadlock with
Snead in the Los Angeles Open
this week, he teed off here as the
co-favorite with the latter. Snead
had to come from behind to tie
Hogan then. This time, Hogan
was so far behind there was only
the remotest chance of him catch
ing the front runners.
The Hogan story took its dra-
matte turn yesterday when Ben
carded five over par II on a
course he always conquered with
ease in the past.
Cold, wind and a soft course
combined with Hogan's fatigue
to check the little ex-champion.
He was eight shots behind Snead
yesterday and in spite of today's
IA lost two more strokes to the
front runners. His poor chips to
the green's cost him many strokes.

Spunky, little Chick Reiser, "a

1t was the Caps fourth consecu-

against Philadelphia since 1946-47.
It gave them an 1918 record for
the season..
It was Reiser who kept the Caps
in the game when the invaders
threatened. He combined a 12-
point performance with some su-
perlative floor play in the final
quarter.
Joe Fulks, Philadelphia's ace
shooter, tied his low-scoring mark

was held to six POINTS by Dick

g. ". Routs Maryland
II 10 81, as Moffat
Pours in "a Points

Sparked by the accurate shoot
ing and exceptional floorwork OF
Johnny Moffat, who scored "a
points, George Washington's
basketball team walked away from
Maryland in a Southern Confer
ence game at College Park last
night, 72 to 81.
Maryland simply was outclassed,
being shaded in floor work as well
as in shooting from both the floor
and foul line.
The victory was the seventh in
II starts for the Colonials and
gave them a So record in the
Conference standing which should
pave the way for a place in the
title tourney at Durham early in
March.
Maryland's 18th Defeat.
For Maryland it was the 18th
loss in IA games. Six of the seven
losses have been in loop contests,
which practically means that the
Terps are out of contention for a
tourney berth.
Moffat got the first point of the
game on a foul shot and midway
of the first half had paced the
Colonials into a 23-11 with 10
points. He was given rest then
and Arthur Cerra did most of the
scoring to provide G. w. with a
40-to-25 edge. Cerra wound up
with 13 points with the other scor.
ing well distributed.
The game was more even in the
second half, due mainly to the
fact that the pressure was off the
Colonials.
Ray Adler, the big G. w. center,
got only five points, but he was
a big factor in getting the ball off
the backboards and feeding it to
his teammates.
George Washington sent IA men
into the game and Maryland only
one less.
Lee Brawley, who got IL points,
led the Terps, but like most of his
mates missed many easy shots.
However, it was just a case of
the Colonials outplaying the Terps
at all angles. The Colonials even
led in committing fouls, or the
Terps' point total might have been
considerably less.

by a wild last 10 minutes of er-

Favorable Action on

BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The rebel

sanity code won rousing victory
today when a vote to expel them
failed Of the necessary thirds
majority.
After nearly seven hours of
heated debate, without a stop for
lunch, delegates to the associa-
tion's annual convention voted by
secret ballot, Ill to SO, for expul-
SIGN of the seven recalcitrants.
This was Is votes short of the
lumber needed for expulsion.
The seven who gained this par
tial vindication of their athletic
rclicies were Virginia, Maryland,
Virginia Military Institute, Vir-
ginia Poly, Boston College, Villa
nova and The Citadel.
NCAA Head A Bit Confused.
There was a moment of high
confusion Immediately after the
vote was announced when DR.. Karl
Lelb Of Iowa, president of the
NCAA declared "the motion is
carried"
The cry went up from the floor
mo, No-two-thirds are required"
On being shown a copy of the
NCAA constitution, Leib changed
to "the action failed" but refused
to concede the result was a vic
tory for opponents of the purity
code.
This vote shows merely that
the circumstances in this group
OF cases were not enough to JUS
tify the severe penalties contem-
plated in the aggravated cases of
noncompliance" he said.
Immediately after the vote was
announced, President H. c. Byrd
of Maryland introduced a resolu-
ton calling for special commit
tee to investigate the athletic
practices of all member schools
and to make a report at next
years meeting. This was passed, |
81 to II.
Virginia to Stay In.
After the Byrd resolution was
passed, Virginia's president, Col
gate w. Darden, jr., said his
school would remain in the NCAA.
Previously Virginians had said
the school would resign.
1--WE will definitely stay in under
these conditions" said DR.. Darden,
a former governor of Virginia. /
However, the result of the Byrd
ballot apparently will not alter the
decision of The Citadel, military
school at Charleston, S. c., to
withdraw from the NCAA. It's
official resignation was presented
early today.
Col. D. S. McAlister, dean of
student activities at The Citadel,
said:
I'VE resigned in December, we
resigned again today and we are
still resigned although those fell
lows seem hard to convince. If
they had accepted the resignation
and not brought us on the floor
we probably would have applied
for readmission. Now, that's out"
During the lengthy discussion
which followed presentation of the
case against the rebels by Clar-
ence Houston of Tufts, chairman

TOBACCO GROWERS Urged TO

Because black shank and Gran

Tobacco Specialists say that TO
tation and use of resistant varie,
ties are the two measures being
used to fight these dread di
seases. Rotation, they point out,
helps by reducing infestation in
the soil and giving support to
resistant varieties.
The resistant varieties are Dix
lie Bright 101 and 102, which have
resistance to both black shank
and Granville wilt, and Dixie
Bright 81, which has resistance
to Granville wilt only.
Dixie Bright 101 has shown

In Sheep Business

CERRO GORDO, Dec. l.
Sheep raising in Columbus coun

tended large herds and realized
nice profits from the sale of wool
each May and June.

1921 requiring all stock to be

loaded several freight carloads
at Cerro Gordo, Fair Bluff and

Recently a renewed interest
has entered the minds of some
of the larger farmers with vast
holdings of idle lands suitable
for sheep raising coupled with
easy fencing with one wire and
an electric battery.
