Sam Snead put together pair
Of two-under-par 33s today to
hold his Greensboro Open golf
tournament lead at the halfway
mark.
The White Sulphur Springs
CIV. Va.) pro. tackled a 66 onto
yesterdays 81 for 1873 and q two
stroke margin over Ed (Porky)
Oliver Of Palm Springs, Calf,
going into tomorrow's 36-hole
windup. Oliver had 81 today to
e retain second place, although
dropping another stroke back.
Ford Third at 1876.
In third place with 1876 was
oDoug Ford. Harrison, N. Y. who
matched Snead's 66 today. Three
players had 1877 to tie for fourth
place. They were Fred Wampler,
former National ter-collegiate
champion from Indianapolis; Art
Wall, jr.. Pocono Manor, Pa, and
Skee Riegel, Tulsa, Okla, q
former National Amateur cham
pion.
Snead. who has won this
$4,000 tournament four times,
looked like a sure winner today
as he breezed around the 6,72O-
yard Sedgef1eld Club course with
seven pars and two brides on
each side. Sam almost made it
look easy. He dropped a chip shot
to within 18 inches Of the cup for
a birdie 4 on No. S and on the
sixth canned 28-foot putt for
another.
Splendid Chip on No. 1S.
H., On No. 10 he sent home a six
. footer for a Birdie. Then followed
: seven pars. On the long 18th
Sam came up with a splendid
chip shot after his second went
into the crowd to the left of the
pin. He needed only an 18-inch
putt for his birdie 4.
He conceded that the course,
under winter rules, played much
easier than yesterday. The per-
formance of the field of $50 bore
him out in this observation. There
were 20 sub-par rounds and six
at par compared with II under
par and six even par yesterday.
Lew Worsham, Oakmont, Pa,
who last Monday won the Jack
sonville Open, withdrew after
going out in 80. A recent wrist
injury began acting up and he
decided to pull out.
Oliver Starts Fast.
A year ago Oliver was the 60
hole leader here, but fell off to
a final three-way tie for third
back Of Dave Douglas, Newark,
Del. Today Oliver was out in
81, with a 12-foot putt for an
eagle on the paris fifth and
brides on Nos. 8 and 8 on puts
sof 8 and 20 feet. Coming back.
he had eight parS and one
over five on Is. @
Ford, playing with a putter
borrowed from Earl Stewart, jr.,
had four birdie puts from l21
to Is feet and a 40-footer on
No. II.
Not entirely out Of it at 1873,

UPPERVILLE. Va. Mar. 49,
North of Leesburg when the
wind is right, the members Of
the Loudoun Hunt claim they
can hear the splash If hounds
chase a fox into the Potomac.
Today the Loudoun Hunt crowd
made quite a splash Of its own
in the Piedmont point-to-point
races at Paul Melons Rokehy
Farm. And they heard a sound
sweet as the music Of hounds
cheers for the winner!
There are three major tro-
phies at the Piedmont meeting.
This year Loudoun made it three
for three.
DR.. Joseph Rogers Of Ham
ilton, Va. and Leesburg sent
out his good hunter Big Breeze
to win a second leg on the
Rokeby Challenge Bowl.
Taylor Heavyweight Winner.
Thomas Taylor of Hamilton
won the heavyweight plate for
the first rider over 200 pounds
to finish the course.
Nancy Graham of Purcellville
another Loudoun Hunt regu-
lar-had the mount on Spanish
Maid, which finished first by a
short head in the ladies race.
Spanish Maid is owned by Mrs.
Gordon Reed. who follows the
Piedmont Foxhounds.
That victory brought some
solace to the home hunt, while
the Blue Ridge Hunt of Berry,
vile boasted the feats Of its own
Russell Dart, who stuck to Big
Breeze like fly to molasses
after his saddle turned and
slipped halfway back to the
horses quarters.
Big BreeZe'S victory was q
popular one among the advo-
Gates Of bonaflde hunter races
The horse was hunted by his
owner more than 40 times with
the Loudoun hounds during the
last season. When spring came
around, DR.. Rogers became both
trainer and exercise boy for the
horse. He probably also would
have been his own jockey today
if he had not been grounded by
an emergency appendectomy sew
eral weeks ago. His first leg on
the Rokeby Bowl was won with
another home-schooled horse
Lord Loudoun.
Crowd is C0lorful.
Today's tweedy crowd at
Rokeby would be hard to dupli-
cate. OF the scores who gathered
on the crest overlooking the race
course probably a hundred have
ridden jumping races. Perhaps
10 per cent of the spectators
were dyed-in-the-wool fox hunt
ers. and the other 80 per cent
know better than to change the
subject if someone brings UP
hunting or racing.
The Piedmont Course also il
distinctive. The races are run
between flags, but they are by
no means steeplechases. Horses
must Jump in and out Of roads,
over water, gallop up steep hills
and through the woods. Then
in the last half-mile they turn
straight for home. That is the
time when speed and stamina
and sheer driving nerve come
into play.
The twists and turns brought
grief to two front-runners today
Barbara Graham's Pepper Toes
simply holted down the road at
one point In the ladies race
Henry LoomiS Of Middlebure
came Q cropper near the same
point when his eaSy-runnina
