PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 9.-The

ing like cinch to whip Id Fur
col in their playof for the $4,000
top money of the $4,000 Phoenix
Open golf tournament and then
lost out when the match went an
extra hole.
The 32-year-old Middlecotf
former National Open champion
from Memphis, held a two-stroke
lead yesterday as he and Furgol
teed off on the 526-yard 18th and
final hole.
Both were straight down the
fairway off the tee. Then Mid
dlecoff elected to use a wood for
his approach. So did the So
year-old Furgol.
Middlecoff's shot sailed to the
left. over the heads of the gallery
around the final green. The ball
finally came to rest by screen
back Of a practice tee.
Never Noticed Screen.
I've passed that screen hun
dred times and never knew it was
there" Middleton said later.
The ball was moved out two
club lengths. but the screen still
INSTRUCTED the line toward the
pin. Middleton had to shoot for
the area below the green. Then
he pitched up and it fell short
of the pin.
The fourth shot was the one
that actually gave me a shot in
the arm" Furgol said. Il was on
the green, inside of Middleton. "
Middlecoff finally got down
with a DOGGY 6. The gallery
grew tense. So did Furgol. He
had a putt of at least Is feet
after coming out of a trap. He
had to make it for a birdie to
gain a tie.

GREENVILLE, s. c., Feb. O.
George Washington's once
beaten basketball team meets
Furman for the Southern Con-
ference lead here tonight. and
the Colonials are expected to
profit by a mistake made last
night by the Richmond Spiders.
The Spiders, who came here
with a 6-1 conference record
and 17-3 for the season, con-
centrated their defenses on
Frank Selvy, the Nations lead
ing scorer.
Selvy's average was lowered
by a 25-point performance, but
the Furman ace from Corbin,
KY, concentrated on passing of
to his comparatively new team
mate. Darrell Floyd. AS a result,
Floyd hit for "a points and led
Furman to an easy 97-76 tri-
umph.
Meanwhile, the George Wash
ington players apparently had
their mind on the Furman game.
The Colonials were q disinter-
ested outfit as they defeated
South Carolina, 61-52, last night
at Columbia.
14th Victory for CIV.
The victory was the 14th
against one defeat for CIV, while
South Carolina lost for the 18th
time and has won seven.
George Washington is TO in
the Southern Conference and
Furman is 40 heading into their
clash tonight in Textile Hall. A
victory virtually would clinch the
regular-seaSon honors in the
Conference for CIV, which has
only Washington and Lee and
William and Mary remaining on
its Conference slate.
Coach Bill Reinhart of the CO.
lonials is assigning Elliot Kar-
yer to guard Selvy tonight. kar-

Carolina last night, and the Co

Concentrate on Offense.
George Washington is figur-
ing more on outscoring Furman
despite Selvy and his new play
ing partners, rather than win
ming by any defensive maneu-
verS.
Selvy's IS points last night
gave him a varsity career total
of 2.011 and his average now
stands at 378. a drop of eight
tenths of a point. In addition
to his scoring and passing, he
went up for Is rebounds.
