start last spring and was NOV
ing in as one of the top-playing
pros of the area. In July, he
played an exhibition at his home
course that featured Ben Ho-
gan. and Tenney liked the way
Hogan played a slight fade.
Tenney started fooling around
with a fade, but before he
knew it, he had a slice, and for
six weeks he couldn't hit his hat.
All of a sudden he found his
game at Argyle and beat par by
five strokes. He had brides on
three. six, seven, II and 18, and
eagled the par five 18th with two
perfect woods and a 5-foot putt.
He went over on the 9th, 18th
and 18th. He topped the round
with a 20-footer for a birdie on
the 18th. for 34-33-67.
MARITIME. a former club cham
pion at Argyle. posted his 81 in
a club championship match
against Phil Buscher last fall.
Ordinarily. rounds in match
play competition are not recog-
nized as official records, but
MARITIME also was qualifying for
a place on the four-man team
to play in the Maryland four
ball matches. Roger started
with eight pars and then hit q
hot streak, knocking in four
straight birdie puts. He had
another birdie on the back nine
and turned in 34-33 for his 81.
Previously the Argyle record
was 50 by another ex-champion.
Dick Mothershead, posted in the
qualifying for the club ladder
in 1850. In the amateur sweep

Five Dangerous Pros CIV Once Considered
0nF|eming 'sHee|sin Witucki, New Coach
Palm Springs Windup Al Tulsa, for Post

Bernie Witucki of South Bend,
Ind, who last night signed a
tl1ree-year contract as head
football coach at Tulsa Univer-
sity. almost landed in a similar
job at George Washington Uni
versity.
Witucki, who played center for
the Colonials in 1888 and "a, was
seriously considered for the CIV
post five years ago when Skip
Stanley left and Bo Rowland was
hired. Rowland was supplanted
last season by Bo Sherman.
Max harrington, dean of men
at CIV, said today Witucki won
the attention of his alma mater
through marked success as a high
school coach at Evansville, Ind.
A crack student. he graduated
here in February, 1885.
Witucki played center at CIV
as an understudy to Red Rath-
| jen, star in that position, but
Witucki was rated close behind
Rathjen in ability.
Transfer From Notre Dame.
He came to CIV as a transfer
from Notre Dame to join an old
friend. Ben Plotnicki. The lat
ter was Tuffy Leemans sub at
tailback. but oft times a star,
too, during Jim Pixlee's coach
ing regime.
+ Wituckf is former associate
coach of the Chicago Rockets in
the now defunct All-America
League. He went to Tulsa three
years ago from Evansville to be-
come associate coach of the
Golden Hurricane.
| He succeeded j. O. (Buddy)
Brothers as head coach at Tulsa.
Brothers had resigned only a few
hours earlier.
DR.. c. I. Pontius, Tulsa presi-
dent, said Witucki would have
a free hand in naming his own
staff. The new coach's salary
was not disclosed.
Witucki did not say whether
he would retain the remaining
three members of the staff.
Resignation Unexplained.
Brothers did not explain why
he resigned, but indicated he
would continue coaching else
where or go into private busi-
ness.
Brothers resignation ended a
12-year tenure, seven of them as
head mentor. His teams won As
games. lost 26 and tied 8.
Last season his Golden Hurri-
cane topped a regular season
record of eight victories, one tie
and one loss, with q New Year
Day contest with Florida in the
Gator Bowl. Tulsa dropped that
| one, 14-13.
Twice Brothers was named
coach Of the year" by his fellow
Missouri Valley Conference men
tors. His teams four times cap
tured the Missouri loop title.
His eleven last season was the
Nations best in rushing and to-
tai offense.
Before coming to Tulsa in
1941, Brothers was a Texas high
school coach for 10 years: He
was backfield coach for Tulsa
before taking over as head tutor.

signed. Billick Whelchel was not
drafted for the 1949 season, and
the job, later filled by Ball. was
open at the 1950-51 meetings.
Lambeau is expected to pick
a quarterback as his first choice
and it could be Jack Scarbath
if the Maryland star is available
when the Redskins turn comes.
When Baltimore first appeared
likely to be awarded a franchise.
it was assumed the club would
go for Scarbath. a hometown
boy, as its first draft choice.
But Coach Keith Molesworth has
indicated Scarbath does not fit
into his style of play and the
Colts probably will go for some
body else. They are said to be
interested in Maryland's Dick
Modzelewski and Tom Cosgrove
as later selections.
Washington will get no worse
than third choice in the first
round, which will be preceded by
the bonus selection. Six clubs
are still eligible for the bonus
draw. The other six, including
the Redskins who took Harry
Gilmer. have had theirs.
Colts to Pick First.
The Colts, drafting for the
last-place Dallas Texans, whom
they replaced in the league, will
get the first pick. The Redskins
and Chicago Cardinals will toss
a coin for second place and will
alternate in succeeding rounds.
Pittsburgh and the Chicago
Bears will toss to see who gets
fourth place in the player grab
bag. Green Bay comes next, fol-
lowed by another coin-tossing

PALM SPRINGS, Calf, Jan.
21.-The final round of the $10,-
600 Thunderbird Country Club
Invitational golf tournament be-
gan today with five dangerous
professionals pressing just one
strike back of little-known
golfer, Pete Fleming from St.
Andrews, Ill.
Fleming, with rounds of 67-66
-133, was in danger from Ben
Hogan, Lloyd Mangrum, Jimmy
Demaret, Dutch Harrison and
Jim Turnesa in the Windup Of
the 54-hole special tournament.
Of the 80 invited pros, 26 were
still under par la for the first
two rounds over the 6,600-yard
course. And in two days a course
record was set and tied three
times.
Mangrum. Demaret Tie Mark.
Hogan did it with his first
round IS. and Harrison matched
it soon after. Yesterday Man
grum did it with q 1898, and
then jovial Demaret broke loose
with a 34-31.
Forty year old Hogan, the
semi-retired king of the pros, and
his predecessor. Byron Nelson,
remained the most interesting
figures in the tournament.
And Hogan, of course. remains
the most intriguing threat in
the field. Yesterday he was hit
ting the ball true and long, but
his puts wouldn't drop. Then,
giving the gallery a bang on the
18th green, he rammed one down.
It travelled IL feet and gave him
an eagle 3 and a SO.
Nelson. who plays even less
now than Hogan, shot his second
68 in a row for 1856.
Fleming. IS, a former prize
fighter who lived for a spell in
Hot Springs. Ark, gained mo-
mentary notice at the recent
Bing Crosby tournament when
he led the field for the first
round. He. too, wound up yes
terday with an eagle on 18.
Four Others Within Range.
Alone at 1876 today was Johnny
Bulla, with 68-67, and at 1877
were Cary Middlecoff. with To-
81; Jimmy Clark, 69-68. and
Doug Ford. $3.50.
The National Open champion,
julius Boros. had a 50 for 139,
along with a former national
titlist, Lew Worsham. who shot
a II.
Included in the 1873 group were
Tommy Bolt, recent winner of
the San Diego Open; Ed Oliver,
Lawson Little. Dick Mayer. Jerry
Barber and Ted Kroll.
In pro-amateur best-ball play,
which was concluded yesterday
Oliver won $1,000: Nelson and
Ford $3.50 each. and $120 apiece
went to Jim Ferrier, Hogan, Ear-
rison, Mayer and Clark.
Yesterdays play was marked
by "hole-in-none" by Dan
Wray, a 10-handicap amateur
from Los Angeles. His 3-wood
shot on the 200-yard 18th
bounced in for an ace and a
one-stroke allowance gave him
an official zero on the hole.
Il outshot Ben Hogan by three
strokes on that hole" Wray
chuckled.

Kid Gavilan, the world welter-

engage in a 10-round non-title
fight at Uline Arena tonight that
also is something of a social af-
fair.
The evenings entertainment
is being staged as a benefit for
B'nai Birth. Women's Argo.
Mrs. Theodore Shapiro is over
all chairman for the chapter.
It uses the funds for a variety
of charitable purposes.
According to advance notices,
mink coats on the ladies and
black ties on the gentlemen will
be prominent around the ring
side. Even promoter Goldie
Ahearn is threatening to hide
behind a black tie and stiff bib.
A lot of hoopla has been added
to the program. A number of
prizes-such as trip to Florida,
diamond wrist watch and a
fancy gown,-will be distributed
and quite a few former boxing
greats are listed to make per-
sonal appearances. The lineup
includes Jack Dempsey, Jimmy
Braddock. Gus Lesnevich, Tom
my Loughran, Tony Canzoneri
and others.
Starting Time Advanced.
The main bout will be on tele-
vision over WTOP-TV and on
radio over WTOP at 10 o'clock.
Start of the preliminary events
has been moved up to 8 o'clock
from the usual $3.50 time.
Despite all the side attractions.
the boxing end of the program
commands the most attention.
AS far as Gavilan is concerned,
this is a tuneup for his title de-
fense against undefeated Chuck
Davey three weeks hence in Chi
cago. The Cuban Hawk can do
two things tonight: Either he
can jab and spar around Cardell
for 10 rounds to get in some
practice. or he can go all out
for an early knockout to avoid
the possibility of being injured
or upset.
The style he elects will make
a big difference in the bout.
The Kid is whirlwind when he's
of a mind to be and is highly en-
tertaining to watch. He fights
in f1urries, during which that
bolo punch whizzes into action.
Like everybody else's bolo punch,
it doesn't have much aim and
is liable to miss nine times out
of 10. but when it does connect

I'm confident I can give
Gavilan better fight than

chances and expect to be around

fighter says he isn't going to

can say he went 10 rounds with

Crazy vandals' Blamed
In Antiefam Explosions

tower on the Civil War battle

yesterday by Harry DouSt,
superintendent of the historic
battlefield.
Mr.. Doust said that a stone
platform in front of the 70-foot-
high tower located near Bloody
Lane" northeast of Sharpsburg,
was damaged. The tower itself
was unharmed, according to Mr..
Doust, who denied earlier re-
ports that. visitors had been
banned from the national park
pending an investigation.
The superintendent surmised
that the Friday night blast, ap-
