Hogan Favored
In Colonial Golf

FORT WORTH, Tex, May s
P.-The rich Colonial National
Invitation golf tournament opens
today with Ben Hogan favored to
return to his winning ways.
Hogan is starved for a victory
although his record over the
years is the most impressive in
links history. It has been more
than a year since he bagged a
tournaments first money.
But the man who has won four
of the eight Colonial tourna-
ments but failed last season be-
cause of illness is a solid choice
to drag down the $1,000 first
prize again. Posting scores of Sc.
50 and 81 in tuneup rounds, Lit
tie Ben became a 2-to-1 favorite,
just a step ahead of Cary Mid
dlecoff, former Colonial cham
pion and recent victor in the
Masters.

try Club course with a tight 35-
$50 par challenges 40 ace

first scheduled off the tee at
1880 am. &C. S. t.. Hogan goes
out at noon, playing with Johnny
Palmer. the 1854 Colonial cham
pion, and Fred Haas.
A crowd of $500 iammed the
course yesterday to watch the
hotshots in their final tuneups.
In the practice rounds Skip
Alexander, the big blond from
st. Petersburg, Fla, who had his
golf career dimmed by injuries
in a flaming plane crash several
years ago, turned in a 3-under-
par 81. That was the best round
other than one shot by Hogan
early in the week.
| Middlecoff, the 1851 cham
pion, didn't post a score yester-
day in his tuneup round and
said he played poorly. But he
promised he'd be much better
today.
| Middlecoff ventured the pre-
diction that it would require 27e
or 277 for the 70 holes to win
the tournament.

Target Practice for Robinson
But other than that, the fight
virtually was no contest as the
dapper Robinson took nine
rounds of healthy target practice
at the willing but rather inept

Painter, a once-promiSine
youngster, went into the fight
with the dubious record of hav-
ing lost six out of his previous

ATCHISON'S S
ANGLE
BY LEWIS r. ATcHIsoN

The addition of a flock of free
agents to the Redskins training
camp roster might have sent a
shudder of apprehension through
the ranks of the faithful. They
wanted new blood and new faces
for 1855, to be sure. but not re-
treads who failed to make the
grade with other National Foot
ball League teams.
But Coach Joe Kuharich has
sound reasons for signing them.
He has q hunch that several will
be better than some rockies from
college ranks. but whether they
land berths with the Redskins or
miss again, Joe feels that they'll
help the team.
Every one has some potential
value" Kuharich said. "or we
wouldn't have signed him. To
get some things done that are of
real Importance in training camp
we must have a good group, and
some of these men will make the
veterans better by forcing the
issue. And who's to say they
aren't better than some of the
top-flight players drafted this
year?"
In brief, Joe has rounded up
a bunch of strays who might be
good enough to land jobs with
the Redskins. Even if they don't
they'll push the others hard
enough to make them better
players.
1t isn't a cockeyed theory. for

Ricca was a sleeper, over

thought him too big and .awk-

handicapped by poor vision in
one eye. But Jim developed into
a powerful middle guard, a spot

What happened2 First, since
midseaSon of last year the Sem
ators have been aware of a
drastic deficiency at shortstop.
Their answer to that problem was
to dip into the Southern Associa-
ton. pluck an eight-place hitter
from Birmingham - although
technically Bob Kline was drafted
from Toronto-and sit back and
relax.
Kline, for all his spirit and an
occasional fine fielding play,
hasn't solved the predicament
and there's no indication he will.
He can't hit. as a current .l43
average would seem to reflect.
His requirements are Jerry
Snyder and Tony Roig, who
wouldn't approach the 800 mark
if their averages were combined.
But Kline's failure to click
merely has aggravated the Sen
ators' plight. They also needed
an outfielder. but were content
to regard Tom Umphlett opti-
miStically despite his .219 hit
ting of last season. Developed
that was mistake, too.
Contributing to the delin-
quency of the club was a re-
freshing but misleading record
in exhibition games. The Sena-
tors were stacked against Gin
cinnati in 13 games, winning 10,
losing 2 and tying /.
In the great rush to herald
a new era for the Senators,
everybody neglected to note that

and how to use them in a
clutch. The management's big
gest task is keeping that balance
and, if it is lacking, restoring it.
It has been more than 80 years
since Clark Griffith put together
a baseball team of so-called has
beens and youngsters and gave
Washington its first American
League pennant. Kuharich is
trying to give the town a pro
football title-at least in his own
division-after an absence of 10
years. And If he comes up with
a winner no questions will be
asked about where the men
came from or how old they are.
