Texans Blast Failure

Rio Grande Tourney
BY the Asseeieied Press

HARL1NGEN. Tex, Dec. a.
Golf leaders in Harlingen lashed
out today at the Professional
Golfers Association for droppins
the $4,000 Rio Grande Valley
Open from the 1852 winter
schedule. f
Tony Butler, pro at the host
Harlingen municipal course. said
he had been a member of the
PGA for 20 years. and Tn
ashamed of this connection. They
are all performing like so many
fourth-rate actors"
Pete McNamee. president Of
the Valley Golf Association, de-
clared that I'VE don't care If the
PGA never returns to the valley.
We lose money every year and
all the publicity We get is bad"
Scene of Controversies.
This tournament had been
held four year. and in three Of
them was the scene Of bitter PGA
controversies. The first year there
was argument over the rules of
play and golfers Henry Ransom
and Norman Won Nida exchanged
blows on the course.
The next yea. Dick Metz was
chastised by the tournament
manager. George Schneiter, for
blasting at the PGA through an
interview Metz was supposed to-
have had with a sports writer.
Then last year some of the golfers
skipped the Harlingen tourna-
ment and played in the Mexican
Open at Mexico City. for which
they were fined by the PGA.
Among them were Jimmie
Demaret and Vic Ghezzi.
But Harlingen still wanted o.
place on the tournament circuit
this winter. Inquiries were made
for weeks to determine If the VAL
ley Open was on the schedule.
Finally. last week end. the PGA|
put out the winter schedule and
Harlingen wasn't on it.
Lost Heavily in 1941.
Butler recalled that in l94l,
Harlingen put up $1,000 for q
tournament. booked right after
Pearl Harbor. That was prob
ably the worst time to hold it but
we went through with it and lost
100 cents on the dollar" he said.
''You see, in those days the PGAI
was not as ahoosy as it is now and
had to look around for tourna-
ments. Now the bosses can pick
where and when they want to
play. There are a lot Of spoiled
individuals in the group and If it
wasn't for Horton Smith (presi-
dent Of the PGA), the PGA would
probably dissolve"
Other members of the Valley
Golf Association said they had
heard nothing but gripes from the
pro golfers anyway.
So they're negotiating with the
women's PGA for a tournament
here. 1t will cost only 5000 and
maybe the gals won't have argu-
mentS.

Davis Cup Guessing
Has Aussies Pairing
|Sedgman, he6regor
BY the A..oeia.sd Pres.

SYDNEY, Australia. Dec. "a
The great Davis Cup guessing
game went right down to the wire
today as Frank Shields. captain
of the American team. and four
Australian selectors steadfastly
refused to give any hint of the
tennis players they intend to use
In the singles matches of the
challenge round.
American players themselves ap-
parently viii not know Shields
decision until the names are drawn
from the big tennis cup in q hotel
here Christmas morning.
Australian selectors huddled
with Capt. Harry Hopman at
White City late yesterday and
reached an agreement on their
side.
Shields. noting that Ken Nc
Gregor later engaged in some spe-
lcial practice on his service.
reached the conclusion that the
Aussies had picked big Ken to
pair with Frank Sedgman both in
the singles and doubles. This was
a pleasing thought to the Ameri-
can camp. as all have greater fear
of the left-handed Mervyn Rose
than McGregor. .
| In fact. one of them said fiatly.
they're plain saps If they don't
play Rose"
Savitt Out Of Singles.
BY coincidence. Australia's
players and officials alike feel
Shields will make a fatal mistake
If he fails to nominate Dick
Savitt for the singles. Only thing
for certain about the American
side. though, is that Dick doesn't
have chance Of getting a singles
berth.
Shields obviously is enjoying his
role Of mystery man. He says
he'd much rather be in his posi-
ton of having the full respon-
sibility Of naming the team than
that Of Hopman, who can only
offer suggestions.
Best guess still seems to be that
the names Of Ted Schroeder and
Vic Seixas will come out in the
cup tomorrow. =
| Schroeder and Tony Trabert
are certain nominees for Thurs
days doubles unless the United
States wins two long, hard singles
victories the first day. In that
case Shields might use Savitt in
the doubles and rest the 30-year-
old Schroeder. It's plain that
Shields really is giving his brain
hard workout.
In the teams most recent prac-
tice on the championship court,
Shields watched young Trabert
give Seixas a beating in two hard
fought spectacular sets. Trabert
at the moment is playing terrific
tennis and on form alone would
have to be singles nominee.
| Seixas Likely Choice.
/ However, there's a feeling among
the Americans that it would be
too tough on a kid like Tony to
send him out there all alone be-
fore $4,000 fans. The more sea-
soned. Seixas. therefore, seems the
best bet.
Immediately after the draw,
Shields and his players plan to
retire from the public eye and
have a quiet Christmas dinner
together.
This will give Shields a chance
to smooth any ruffled feelings.
Whatever his choices, though, the
Australian fans are anticipating
three days Of close, exciting ten
mis-. The most popular guess is
that the issue will not be decided
until the fifth and final match.
The weather here continues to
be hot and the forecast is for
MINDLESS matches, although show
ers are predicted for late Wednes-
day when the challenge round
gets under way.
