MONTREAL, Aug. 21.-Jerry
Barber, a little fellow who looks
as if a healthy golf swing would
blow him of the tee, today was
the biggest shot around this
Northwest Montreal course.
The 5-foot-5, 14O- FOUNDER,
usually just another name in the
winter and summer circuit,
charged down the wide-open
fairways of the par-70 layout
yesterday in the opening round
of the $4,000 Montreal open,
leaving a trail of seven brides
for a record-breaking 81. Only
one hole-the tough par-four
17th-forced him to go over reg
ulation figures.
Barber shaved two strokes off
the competitive record for the
6,515-yard course. The 36-year-
old native of La Canada, Calf.
went into today's second round
one stroke up on Max Evans of
Detroit who carded a IS.
Three others, Art Wall, jr.,
of Pocono Manor, Pa; AL Zim-
norman of Portland, Oreg., and
Bob Toski of Northampton,
Mass, posted 66s, two strokes
off the pace and another three
some kicked around par figures
to tie at 81. They were Doug

Harrison of Ardmore, Okla, and

At the top of my backswing
above, my left ankle has rolled
to its maximum and the left knee
has bent in toward the right
knee to it's maximum. About
IS per cent Of my weight is on
the right foot and leg.
My right knee is flexed the
same and right leg is at the
same angle as at address. Hips
and shoulders have turned to
their full extent. The left Shoul-
der, having turned underneath
the chin. Head is still in same
position as at address while the
left arm remains straight. The
right elbow (not visible here)
points down. The point of the
left shoulder is underneath the
chin and pointed down at the
ball at this point.
AT the top OF the backSWlng
the club should be held just as
firmly in both hands as it was
at address. Any looseness in the
grip can always cause you trou-
BILE. but particularly at this point
because you are about to embark
on the downswing. There is
more pressure on the last three
fingers of the left hand than
at any other place in your grip.
Remember the backswing
should be taken as one continu-
Gus rhythmic action, all move
ments smooth and properly syn
chronized. The downswing is
dependent on a smooth up
stroke.

Texas, a State noted for its
.bigness, will be the scene tomor-
row night of Keith Molesworth's
big gamble. The coach of the
Baltimore Colts will not be gam
bling by choice, but when his
team takes on the Chicago Car
dinalS at Lubbock in an exhibi-
ton. Molesworth will be trying
to find a quarterback.
Ed Songin, known in New
England as much for his hockey
as for his football playing. and
Fred Enke, who formerly played
with the Detroit Lions and Phil
adelphia Eagles. are the chief
candidates. If both fail to de-
liver, the Colts will be up against
it this year, their first season OF
a second attempt to make pro
football a success in Baltimore.

the bench for most of tomorrow

Molesworth.
In their respectable but losing
effort against the Eagles in their
only previous exhibition, the
Colts showed a sore need for a
passer who could throw accur-
ately.
Williams was missing" "
Molesworth said yesterday be-
fore boarding a plane for Lub-
book. $50 was Bill Mackrides,
our other quarterback. We went
all out to win that one. so Enke
and Songin didn't get in. But
this time I'm taking a look at
them. I'm also going to look at
our other new boys. Regardless
of the score, I've got to find out

Colts Coach Willing to Gamble
In Texas to Test Qu0rterbdcks

In Songin, the Colts have a
28-year-old back who owns the
dubious distinction of having
thrown away $4,000. That's
what Dan Topping offered the
Boston College star to sign a
three-year contract with the New
York Yankees in the All-America
Conference. But Songin still
had some schooling to complete,
was eligible for more college
football and, equally important
to him, he was a star on the BIC
hockey team. So he decided to
wait While waiting, the A--AC
merged with the National Foot
ball League and with that mer-
ger the highly competitive mark

had a tryout with the Cleveland
Browns, but a bad knee ruined
his chances. An operation ap-
parently cured the knee, for he
played hockey with a Semipro
team near Boston last year. He
also was a teacher and coach at
a Walpole, Mass, high school.
So now the Colts have signed
Songin as a free agent and with
Mackrides and Bob Kilfoyle not
showing up as well as was hoped,
he and Enke, now in his fifth
season as a pro, get an oppor-
tunity to replace Williams.
The future for Williams, Incl
dentally, is a question. The
Colts don't have to keep him.
They picked him up from the
Bears in exchange for a future
draft choice, but the deal hinged
on the Baltimore boys partici-
patton in the first league game.
So the Colts can call the deal of. .

 It would be difficult to select presentations for particular men ton, although much acclaim was accorded the chorus, which was under the direction of Miss Lois Thompson. The chorus presented seven numbers including one of mixed southern airs and the grand finale, "This Is My Coun- try.
 Conducting himself like an old trooper" was young Carl Vuco- vich who gave several accordion selections.
 "Rastus" George SmalD and Edith Carrier presented a dance routine that was well received as was Norm Rousey who was fea- tured in two numbers one in the Berle Ives style and the other an original presentation of T Love the Way She Says Good night"
 Dana, Robin and Terry Nei- mann were called back for an en- core following their interpreta- ton of One More River to Cross"
 Much new local talent was added to this years show includ- ing Gary Krise who opened the second act with a trumpet solo; Dolores Mattila, capable pianist who played Deep Purple as FweH as acting as aeeempanist-tor the chorus; Doyle Smith whose pleasing tenor voice was heard in "Alaska's Flag" and Sally Moore who sang several south ern melodies, accompanying her self with her guitar.
 Keeping the show in top per- formance was Jim Hurley as in terlocutor and the favorite end men who were Harold Stephan Wayne Eby, George Small and Paul Martin, the latter who also presented Swing Low Sweet Chariot"
