Par Broken Is Times
In Day in Texas Open;
Ford Leads With 133
BY the Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. TO-
Doug Ford of Briarcliff, N. Y, a
moderate money-winner on the
winter golf trail, led the $4,000
Texas Open into its third round
today.
The handsome young pro, with
1873 for SO holes, held a one-stroke
margin as the field, cut to So yes
terday in the most tumultous
round of any Texas Open, moved
into the elimination that will lop
some 80 more from the list for
tomorroW'S last Is.
Ford, winner of $1,288.34 this
year, but never a first-money
grabber to date, vaulted to the
top with a 5-under-par 66 over
the 6,400-yard, tree-lined Brack-
enridge Park course. His was just
one of IS par-breaking perform
ances-the most for one day in
the annals of the tournament.
The greatest par-cracking came
at Breckenridge, where the top
men of the tour played, but there
were some at the Fort Sam Hous-
ton Country Club course, which
stretches 6,426 yards and has II
regulation figures.
Two Are 8 Under Par.
Johnny Palmer, Badin, N. c.,
an old campaigner who hasn't
been doing so well this year, and
Glenn Teal of Jacksonville, Fla,
who, like Palmer. isn't among the
top Is money winners, each
whipped up a grand So. This was
just a stroke over the Bracken-
ridge competitive record set in
1947 by Jimmie Demaret. It shot
Palmer and Teal in a tie for Sec
ond place at 1874.
Eagles flew all over the place.
Gil Cavanaugh of Long Island got
a double eagle. He did it with a
20-yard second shot with a No. 4
wood on the par-five 515-yard
third hole. Cavanaugh had 81
to make his 36-hole total 1873 and
a tie for 18th place.
Teal Clipped in with a couple
of eagles. He got them with puts
of 10 and Is feet, respectively.
He barely missed another on the
last hole when his 15-foot putt
was short.
Lionel Hebert of Verona, Pa,
who led the first round with a Sc,
took a 70 yesterday and wound up
in tie for 18th at 1879.
Henry Ransom Eliminated.
The only major casualty in the
elimination down to Sc in field of
261 was Henry Ransom of st. An
drews. Ill, third leading money
winner of the year. Ransom shot
a 70 yesterday to make his total
145-one stroke out.
Lew Worsham continued his
par-breaking with SO for a half
way total of 1879, still in contention
in the closely punched field. Mary
land Open Champion Charles
Bassler of Gainesville picked up
after 10 on the first round and
an outgoing Al yesterday. Walter
Romans of Baltimore had a rs
after an opening 70 for 143.

OF 10 Top Basketball Teams Facing Tough Opponents Tonight
Upsefs May Scramble
Ratings; Kentucky
Only Idle Leader
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Nine Of
the top 10 basketball teams in the
land see action tonight-all
against stiff opposition. So don't
be surprised If the upsets roll in
by the bundle.
Only Kentucky. the national
leader, is out of immediate dam
ger. The Wildcats routed Georgia
Tech, 75-42, last night to hang up
their 10Th victory in 20 starts. It
was their 18th straight victory.
But the rest of the top 10, from
Oklahoma A. and M. down to
North Carolina State, may have
their tournament hopes jostled a
bit.
The Oklahoma Aggies. No. 2 in
this weeks Associated Press poll,
entertain Drake. The last time
these two teams met the game
went into three overtime periods
before the Aggies won, 72-70. The
Aggies God must win if they
want to stay on Kentucky's tail.
Indiana Meets Gophers.
If the Oklahomans stumble,
though, Indiana is ready to move
right up. But the Hoosiers, No. 3
nationally, must get by Minnesota,
which sometimes can be quite a
job. The Gophers have been al
ternately hot and cold, and after
four straight losses, they should be
about ready to sizzle again. In
diana has gaudy 1871 mark and
its Big Ten hopes are at stake.
Fourth-ranked Kansas State
(16-2) also figures to have its
hands full with Missouri, another
team which doesn't always follow
the form charts. This is a Big
Seven tilt, and, usually, that means
anything goes.
The top game of the night takes
place in st. Louis, where the
eighth-ranked st. Louis Billikens
play Bradley, No. 5. in a game
that may eliminate the loser from
the Missouri Valley race. Bradley
(21-3 outlasted st. Louis t17-4
64-59, in the Sugar Bowl finals
December 80. But this one is in
st. Louis. not in neutral New Or
leans.
Sixth-ranked Columbia Q2-0),
the only major undefeated team
IN the country, will place its rec
ord on the line against Cornell in
an Ivy League game at Ithaca.
The home-court advantage, as in
the Bradley-St. Louis tilt, could
turn the tide for Cornell.
st. Johns. No. 7, riding the
crest of a 10-game winning
streak, invades Buffalo Audito-
rum for meeting with Canisius.
The Canisius team is up for this
one. and a victory over the Red
men would help its chances for
a postseason bid.
Ninth-ranked Villanova, with
a smart 1871 record, plays tough
Toledo in half of a Palestra twin
bill at Philadelphia. Harvard
faces Penn in the other game.
North Carolina State, rated No.
10, has been finding the going
bit rough lately, and tonight's
match against Duke figures to De

it an unhappy evening for all.

happened.
Brion was inches taller but
Layne at 1864 to 1914 had the
pull in the weights. Too much oil
Rex's weight was around his mid
die. He tired in the late rounds
and the ninth and 10th were tops
in futility for both.
In fairness to Layne it must be
said he needs more fights under
his belt. He has been boxing less
than two years. A badly cut left
eye in the Walcott fight forced 9
six-week layoff. He had only one
other fight before he met Brion

While they still have to sign
such important players as Catcher

Reynolds won Is games and
lost IL last season, while Ferrick
