Malone Helped Pace Spencer
ToRecord 81 at East Potomac

by two public links players and
Bill Collins. now making his first
stab on the winter tour, who was
an amateur at the time of his
round Incidentally, Collins has
not been more than two strokes
out of the money in any $4,000
event on the tour since he joined
it at Miami in December and
won $275 That's not bad for
a freshman member.
Other Low Scores Made.
Collins had a SO at East Po-
tomac in the National Public
Links qualifying in 1947. Ted
King shot SO in the amateur
sweeps division of the pro-am
in 1850. and Paul Nicholson had
SO in the same event in 1851.
Nicholson was an eight handi-
cap player when he shot his
dream round and beat every
body but Oatman. Nicholson
made a half-dozen 30-footers
that day
Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen
and Jimmy Thomson have played
East Potomac. among the big
timers, and Lew WorSham
played mis- first District round
there after winning the National
Open in AZ. Lew shot a 70.
There have been few women's
events at East Potomac and even
fewer records kept. Spencer
played an exhibition with Patty
Berg. Helen Dettweiler and
Tommy Doerer. ir.. in which
Patty posted a rs. 1t stands as
the unofficial mark. There's
nothing official because in the
few club events and Federal
tournaments the women's scores
have been high.
In addition to its big layout,
East Potomac has a 2,725-yard F
course and 1,936-yard G course.
If you don't like those there's
a driving range and a miniature
course. There's something for
everybody.

High Scoring Features
Service Basketball

Such individual scoring efforts
as Al, SO. 35, q and 26 points
were noted in service basket
ball games around Warrington
last night.
The Al points were tossed in
by Kenneth Novack of Walter
Reed as he paced his team to a
$3.50 win over Fort McNair. In
the other half of a double header
at Fort Myer, Warren Buehler
of Georgetown's junior varsity
was responsible for 36 as the
Hoyas topped Myer. 1864.
Bill Cook got 35 for Fort Lee,
but his team still lost to Fort

outstanding collegiate player of
the year, indicated he had been
offered $4,000 by the Edmonton
Eskimos. He was drafted by the
Baltimore Colts.
Canada's Big Four hasn't TAX
en- definite action yet but it's
reported reliably the league is
ready to pass legislation limiting
the salary of American imports
to $4,000 a year. There would
be a $400 bonus for each playoff
game
But this salary wouldn't be
likely to lure many players from
the United States professional
circuit, where ordinary salaries
run that high or higher.
Montgomery said the feeling
among directors of his league at
recent meeting was that SAL
aries are getting out of hand.
He said a number of Western
Conference stars get $4,000 to
$12,500 a year. Most of these
are former NFL performers lured
north by the prospect of lush
pay.

LARGEST Garden Crowd Sees
Seton Hall Win 22d Struiqht

with eight straight points for a
23-19 lead.
In the second half, the same
thing happened. st. Bonaven-
ture battled into three-point
lead. then Seton Hall ripped off
10 straight for a lead it never
lost.
The squirt illustrated another
strength of Seton Hall, which
ranks third in the country in
fewest personal fouls committed.
The streak started when Bill Ed
wards committed his fourth per-
sonal foul against 6-foot-11
Walter Dukes, Seton Hall star.
He didn't guard Dukes as close
after that and the big boy made
nine of his Is points before Ed
wards eventually fouled out.
Free Shots Help Pirates.
While the BonnieS were handi-
capped by their fouls. Dukes was
the only Seton Hall player with
more than two personals and he
had only three at the end. ST.
Bonaventure actually had two
more field goals. but made only
9 of 20 free throws as compared
to Seton Halls 20 of 80.
Seton Hall will not play in
New York again this season un-
less it accepts a bid to the Ma
tional Invitation tournament.
But the feeling around the
South Orange campus is that
Seton Hall, which has been in
the NIT three times. would rather

Oatman Shot 68.
The closest to Spencer's 81
was a 68 by Harold Oatman. the
Norfolk pro. in a pro-amateur
in 1851. Charley Bassler won
the pro sweeps with a SO in
1949, but in other years the low

Mel Shorey. pro at East Po-

moved to Indian Spring, gets
credit for the best unofficial
score at East Potomac, although
there have been some minor
changes in the course since his
phenomenal round in 1886.
Shorey was playing with two
Georgetown University students,

By the Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Welter-
weight Champion Kid Gavilan,
newly arrived in Chicago to fin
tsh training for his title defense
against Chuck Davey, says he has
nothing special planned for next
Wednesday nights bout.
The fight will be televised
nationally and original plans for
a blackout in the Chicago and
Milwaukee areas have been
changed because of the good
advance sales which indicate a
gate Of nearly 100000.
The champion admits he
knows little about Davey. tive
seen him only twice." he said.
Both times were on televls1on
against Chico Vejar."
AS for plans about how he's
going to fight the undefeated
challenger, Gavilan took a wait
and-see attitude. Il will know
what to do once l get in the
ring" he said. Il think l can
figure Davey out after a few
rounds. Maybe not, though"
Denies KO Prediction.
The CUBAN Kid backtracked a
bit on the stories about him that
came from his Eastern training
quarters. II never said ! would
knock him out in eight rounds" ;"
he declared. II think win. but
I think it might take is. Davey
is smart and fast. That's all I
hear. Heem good boy, smart col
lege boy. Me a poor boy who
used to cut sugar cane in Cuba"
Other statements at various
times during his first day in
Chicago were equally as con-
fusing "I ween from here to
Habana," was one statement. Il
think 1 take him any time after
the 10TH" was injected into
another conversation. Gavilan
mixed things up some more ny
saying he expected a tough f1gnt
that probably would go 10
rounds.
AS for the possibility of cutting
up Davey, Gavilan was equally
non-committal They tell me
Davey is a bleeder," he noted.
But boxing very funny. You
can't say when or if you can cut
a man. You throw 100 solid
punches and nothing happens.
Then sometimes you throw one
which goes right and cuts the
other man bad"
Meanwhile, Davey is tapering
off three days ahead of schedule
His trainer. Issy Kline, said the
southpaW will box only three
rounds today and two tomorrow
and Sunday. After that. he may
not even enter a gymnasium.
Davey Reported at Peak.
Hes at about his peak and I
don't want him to go stale ex-
planned Kline. I'VE have no
weight problems.
After yesterdays workout,
Kline said Davey looked satisfac-
tory. But Chuck wasn't quite
satisfied. IT felt strong and
ready, but wasn't sharp-didn't
seem to have any snap in my
punches" he said.
Tony Zale, the former middle
weight champion, was a camp
visitor.
You must give Davey a fine
chance against Gavilan," zale
observed. "Gavilan fights in
furries. Davey is throwing
punches all the time, There's
no question that Davey has speed
and is clever"
TeIevision viewers will be able
to get a look at Gavilan at his
best in a fight movie to be shown
tonight. 1t will be on WNBW in
Washington following the regu-
lar Friday night bout which
starts at 10 pm.
It is the film of Gavilan's title
defense against Gil Turner last
July 7 when he won by knock
out in the 18th round. The bout
was not shown on television at
the time, and this is the first
time the film has been shown.
