ST. Pete Open Victory
Inspires Ferrier for
Masters Title Effort
BY the Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Mar
5.-Jim Terrier is hot after the
1851 Masters golf title.
The huge, good-natured Aus
tralian showed he's ready to ever
the score for last year by winning
the st. Petersburg Open with 8
record 268 here yesterday.
Terrier, playing out of Sar
Francisco. shot rounds of "a, SO
66 and 50 over the 6,285-yard pal
II Pasadena municipal course
Like the Masters tournament of a
year ago he carried a five stroke
edge into the last round. But
unlike the Masters when he lost
the title to Jimmy Demaret-he
came out of this one still five
strokes in front.
The record score eclipsed the 269
Ben Hogan set five years ago over
the shorter, par 10 Sunset course
Uses Homemade Putter.
The six-stroke edge Terrier
chalked up over second-place AL
Brosch of Garden City. N. Y, can
be credited partly to an aluminium
goose neck putter he fashioned
about a year ago. He sank seven
puts from 80 feet or more in 70
holes that made the difference.
Another record was tied on the
Windup day of the tourney.
Jim Turnesa, fifth son of a
golf1ng family from Briarcliff
N. Y, took his share of the money
with tournament single-round
record-ti eing So.
Record Good for SITS.
The record-tieing round brought
him SITS for a third-place tie with
three others-Bob Toski of North
hampton. Mass; Glenn Teal of
Jacksonville, Fla, and Clayton
Heather of Charlotte-275 each.
Terriers victory won him 1900
and Brosch collected $1,40O for
second.

Natural Rivals Face
In Early Rounds Of
Mason-Dixon Event

Inc luck OF the draw Tor the
Mason Dixon Conference basket
ball tournament, starting Thurs
day at Catholic University's gym,
may pinch the league pocketbook
but 1t assures conference fans OF
a hot brand of action at the be-
ginning as we'll as the finish.
From a box-office viewpoint it
was a bad break when the COM
mittee drew two Virginia teams,
Roanoke and Lynchburg, as first
round opponents. Just as bad was
the matching of two Baltimore
teams, Loyola and Johns Hopkins.
But the final blow was the left
handed luck that paired Mount
st. Mary's and American Univer-
sity, both potential flnalists. Here
is the draw for the first night,
with team records in brackets:
$50 p.m.-Hampden Sydney
7-3 VS.. Western Maryland (9-D.
7:05-Loyola d0-3) VS.. Johns
Hopkins (6-H.
8:40-Mount st. Mary's Q3-O
vs.. American U. Q1-5.
3 1915 oanoke CD VS..

Mount st. Mary's Is Favorite.
Semifinals will be played Fri
day. starting at 7:45 pm. with
the Loyola- Hopkins winner meet
ing the Lynchburg- Roanoke VIC
tor. Survivors Of the other games
will meet in the nightcap, The
championship game will be played
Saturday at $50 pm.
Mount st. Mary's, which won
its last five games to finish on
top in regular play. is the pre-
tournament favorite. Loyola,
vastly improved after slow start.
will be the dark horse, although
American University is in a SINH
lar position. The Eagles, rated
the best in the conference before
the start of the campaign, lost
three of their last four games and
finished fifth, but they still COM
mand respect. especially with the
tourney chips down. Four of
AUS five losses were by one
point margins.
Tournament Unpredictable.
1t would have been better if
the Mount and AU had been
drawn in separate brackets and
the Virginia teams separated. but
conference officials optimistically
hope it happened for the best.
Conference records show the tour
nament is unpredictable, except
that the windup is usually the
best game of the three-day affair
and a team worthy of the honor
carries off the crown.
Lynchburg boasts the best Of
fensive record of the eight par
Elephants with an average score
of 1854 for IL league games. 1t
also has the weakest defensive
record, a TOT average. Two star
forwards. Grant Hudson and
Jack Malloy, have averaged better
than 40 points each per game for
the Hornets.
Loyola has the best defensive
record Of 55.7, but also has the
lowest offensive count with an
average OF 614 for IS games.
Four of the tournament teams
were among the. last five in the
league last year and didn't get
bids to the playoff. They are the
Mount, Johns Hopkins, Lynch
burg and Western Maryland.
