Beverly Hanson is the most un-
inhibited girl in the world. She's
Breezy Bev. She's a one-woman
variety show. She's an unpredic-
table zany.
All of that and other nicknames
and descriptions have been given
by enthusiastic writer's to Bev be-
cause of her sparkling personality
that is based on keen intelligence
and a rich sense of 'humor.
Bev is willowy blonde, five
feet, eight and one-half inches tall,
weighs 100, has been and could
be model any day for any type
of clothes. she has blue eyes and
always wears attractive horn-rim-

Her principal hobby is being with
and having a good time with
people, and the more the better.
She's a baseball fan and card
sharp in bridge and canasta.
Bev's a good pianist and often
has accompanied her brother Cor
don, a singer, on the piano "and
when we're home together, the
place jumps!" She also can per-
form on the trap drums. "Once
we had a little girls swing band,
but that was quickly put asunder
by unanimous vote of the family
and neighbors.
In high school she wanted to
play something" in the orches-
ira, so she learned to play the
bassoon in three weeks. She, forth

eventually became so proficient
that she was bassoonist for the
Fargo Civic Orchestra.
Bev can speak French fluently,
having studied it as her minor in
college days. This talent sometimes
leads to looks of bewilderment on
caddies and galleryites when Bev,
after missing a cinch putt, sounds
off vociferously in French.
And Bev likes dogs, particularly,

Lopez UTle STROKE
Better Than
Famed Golf Pro
BY JACK K. BURKE

yesterday at the Key West Golf
Club. Fred. Lux and Joe Lopez,
ST., both came in with lower
scores than Gene Sarazen, veteran
golfer of years ago.
Actually, this was Genes first
round on this course so the match
was not officially counted. Sara
zen's partner, Larry Rouse, Navy
pro who reported TO this area only
two days ago, was in the same
fix as the master.
Unofficially, the team of Lopez
and Lux defeated Sarazen and
Rouse two-up in the nine hole
match, which Melted the March of
Dimes $500, donated by the fans
for seeing the veteran star per-
form.
The small gallery that followed
were thrilled by the chipping and
putting of all four players.
Sarazen's drives looked like those
of yesteryears. His explanation of
this, was that he had his shafts
longer thereby giving him the add
ed yardage, making up for his age.
Outside Of DOGGY on No. 8, Sa-
razen shot a par game.
Lux was one under par with two
brides to his credit. The first
came on No. and the next on
No. S, both made by stellar puts.
Joe Lopez sank the putt of the
day on No. 8. Lying on the left
side of the green, 20 feet away on
a slight downhill lie, Joe took one
look and played the ball right in
the middle of the cup for a birdie,
which sealed the match. The other
three pared the hole.
Many of Sarazen's friends were
on hand to see the veteran per-
former. Several vacationists drove
down from Miami to witness the
once-feared man, again in action.
At the 18th hole, several of the
Key West golfers asked Gene what
he thought of the local course.
He stated, eff you fellows had
nine more holes, a lot more tour
lists would come here" ''You
know" he continued, "goIf is the
biggest drawing card of any sport
to any tourist town. Just take a
look at Miami and West Coast of
Florida and you will see what ]
mean"
His statement is true, for many
years ago, golf courses were all
over the Miami Beach and real
estate property near them was
high. Now, since the courses have
been forced to go elsewhere SO
60 the northern visitors.
Gene also added in good nature,
"H you fellows expect to get Pre-
sident Eisenhower down here,
you'd better build those additional
nine holes" ALI the local players
were in accord with the man that
has seen the majority Of the cours-
es in the country.
The question of which was the
toughest course in the country at
the present time, Gene said, "0ak-
mont in Pittsburgh, Pa, is the
only one. I'll bet you all that no
pro will break 290 in the next
tournament that is held there" In
that affair, all the top flight pros
of the nation win be on hand.
When asked who was the best
between Ben Hogan or Sam Snead,
the master answered, Hogan is
the steadier of the two, while Sam
plays the percentages. =
One remark made by Sarazen
made the gallery laugh. He said
that when he went to the Senior
Tournament this year. his first
since he is past the age so, he
