Steady Ferrier Takes
5-Stroke Lead Into
Jacksonville Finish
ey the Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Mar. 10.
Jim Ferrier. a man who never
plays a careless golf shot, car
ried a 5-stroke lead into the final
round of the $4,000 Jackson
vile Open today.
After 81 holes. Ferrier has 204
strokes-l2 under par. His near
est competitor is Art Wall. jr.. of
Bronxville, N. Y, at 209. About
the only other serious threats
are Jack Shields of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. at 210 and Lloyd Mangrum
of Chicago at 211.
The remainder Of the field is
far back at 214 or more.
Ferrier shot the 6,508-yard
Hyde Park course in 68 for the
third straight time yesterday. His
short irons were so true to the
pin they didn't leave him many
long puts. One iron shot, a
pitch for a trap. he holed for a
birdie. But it was mostly steady
golf.
Terriers Third Big Lead.
This is the third time in the
last year Ferrier led by 5 strokes
starting the final round. He
broke even in the first two. At
the Masters in Augusta last year
he ran into a series Of bad breaks
and lost to Jimmy Demaret.
In the st. Petersburg Open two
weeks ago the big Australian, who
plays out of San Francisco, car
|ried a 5-stroke lead into the last

Altered Rose Bowl
Plan Is Submitted
To Big Ten Schools
By the Associated Pres.

CHICAGO, Mar. 19.-The Big
Ten will continue doing business
in the Rose Bowl for the next
three years, il individual member
schools don't veto yesterdays ac-
ton by the conference athletic
chiefs.
The faculty representatives,
policy-making group. and athletic
directors voted to continue the
post-season football classic with
the Pacific Coast Conference pro-
vided each loop limits a school to
one Pasadena appearance every
two years. The Coast Conference
had proposed a three-year extern
sion to follow an expired FIVE
year agreement.
In the five-year bowl series
which ended last New Years Day
with a clean sweep by the Big
Ten, the Coast Conference had
no limit on the number of times
a team could compete. while the
i Big Ten had a once-every-three-
years restriction.
|. Schools to Review Action.
The Big Ten group also ex-
pressed willingness yesterday to
continue the bowl agreement on
the once-every-three-years ap-
pearance limit. This apparently
was rider" to keep an ace-in-
the-hole in case the once-eyery-
two-year proposal is sidetracked.
Yesterdays action must be re-
viewed by the governing body Of
each institution within go days.
Disapproval by even q single
school will require another vote
by the faculty representatives and
athletic directors at the spring
meeting in Evanston, H., May 25-
I26. However. majority vote at
Evanston will certify yesterdays
Recommendation on the Rose
Bowl. but still to be specified Is
whether there will be a two or
three year repeat limit.
There's a Catch in 1t.
The catch in the whole thing
lis that governing body at a
school whose faculty representa-
tive is pro-Rose Bowl may turn
thumbs down on renewal of the
pact, no matter whether the re-
newal be a continuance of the
past Big Ten policy or a two-year
appearance agreement.
In that case, the post-season
game could be voted out, since the
sentiment in yesterdays balloting
was reported to be 6 to 4 for
RENEWAL on both the basis Of two
and three year restriction on re-
peat appearances.
The Coast Conference has
agreed that any period of team
selection should be mutually
adopted.
The Coast Conference, regard
less of its feelings. must wait
until the May Big Ten meeting
before acting finally on the West
Coast phase OF the game.
