Syracuse Rally
NipsForf Wayne
To Tie PIayoffs.

SYRACUSE. N. Y, April 9 Up.
Syracuse came from far behind
to whip Fort Wayne, 1o9-104. to-
day. tying the National Basket
bali Associations best-of-seven
final playoffs at three games
apiece and maintaining Syra-
cuse's record of never having
lost to Fort Wayne. on its home
court.
A jump shot by John Kerr put
Syracuse ahead to stay at 105-
1903 with SO seconds to 60, but it
was a sensational tip-in by Dick
Farley of q missed set shot by
Dolph Schayes that assured the
Mats Of their 22d successive win
over Fort Wayne at home.
The exciting victory, coming
after Syracuse had twice been as
much as 10 points behind. made
the winners favorites to win the
decisive playoH game to be
played on the same floor tomor-
row.
Game Rough From Start
frankie Brian put in a free
throw for Fort Wayne after Far
ley's spectacular maneuver, but
Syracuse held possession and
added the final points on a pair
of free throws by Paul Seymour
after the buzzer sounded.
The nationally -televised game
was rough one from the start.
with Fort Wayne, which had
won three straight games in the
series after blowing the first two
here. going all out to break the
Syracuse jinx. George Yardley,
high scorer with 81 points, and
Brian, who sank "a, led the way
as the Pistons forged an 84-78
margin at the end Of the third
quarter.
But the Mats kept coming and
tied it at 86-all on Earl Lloyd's
jump shot with nine minutes to
60. From that point on, the lead
see-sawed back and forth until a
three-point play by Yardley made
it 103-all at the 3-minute mark,
setting the stage for Kerr and
Farley.
First Fight Starts
A fist fight broke out late in
the first half when Wally Os-
terkorn and Seymour converged
on Fort Wayne's Bob Houbregs.
Players from both benches, plus
many fans, poured on the court
and several punches were thrown
with no visible damage-before
police and officials could re-
store order. No one was elected
from the game because of the
melee, however.
Schayes topped Syracuse with
% points and Kerr had 20.

MASTER

Continued From Page C-1
on the par-five eighth, and out
in par SO.
Middlecoff's start on the back
nine was not too encouraging. He
was trapped ON the tough 10th
and went over par and imbedded
his tee shot in the wet sand on
the creek-bordered 18th to &c
over again. He failed to birdie
the par five 18th, but was on in
2 on the par five 18th for a
birdie four.
Middlecoff, playing in his 10th
Masters and, as he put it, finally
having learned something about
the course. just drooled over
what happened on II and Is. He
left his long approach putt 9
feet short of the cup on II and
then snaked in the 9-footer for
a four.
His second shot trickled three
feet off the green on Is and left
him 20 feet away and above the
cup. AS Cary said later. II was
hoping to make three, trying to
make four, but afraid I'd make
FIVE" He made three. The 20
footer took the roll and dropped
in the cup. Doc danced, ran to
the cup and smothered the hole
with his hands, and then took
the ball out and tossed 1t into
the crowd.
Hogan never has appeared to
be combating physical ailments
more than now, not even just
after his accident. He limps bad
ly but appears to be able to
collect himself as he hits the
ball.
Ben was out in 35, one under
and had won part of Middleton s
gallery. But he was lucky to get
by the 10th with a DOGGY five as
he hit a horrible four wood shot
from a downhill lie. but the ball
hit a big tree and bounded back
into the fairway.
Hogan had to sink a 12-footer
to salvage a par on the 18th,
but he three putted the short
18th. He failed to birdie Is. a
par five, then knocked in a siz-
able birdie putt on Il. He fol-
lowed with a birdie On the par
five 18th, then three-putted Is.
He missed a short birdie putt on
Is that would have moved him
within three strokes.
Snead never was in the ball
game. He shot himself out with
three consecutive bogeys on 9,
10 and IL. an almost unheard of
performance by the Slammer.
He's tied with Mike Souchak.
the top money winner, who chal-
lenged for a minute with a g
under-par start for 6 holes but
finished with a 70.
Leonard Shoots 6S
The best round of the day by
three strokes was by Stan Leon
ard, special invitee from Can
ada, who shot 68 despite a pen
atty shot on Is, a hole most OF
the field birdied and on which
he took a six. He was out In
80 and back in 36.
The only other sub-par rounds
were the Ills by Burke and Frank
Stranahan. Leonard is tied for
sixth with Julius Boros, who will
be married tomorrow night, and
Walter Burkemo. the former
PEA champion. Skee Riegel,
with three straight TBS, and
Mangrum. who deserved better
than the ~ he shot today, are
next at 219.
The amateurs all skied over
par and Harvey Ward main
tanned his lead with rs for 221,
The pin placements were not
unfair today. but most Of the
cups were hidden and, with the
exception Of the par fiyes. the
holes were tough to birdie. Mid
dlecof is nine under par on the
par fives.

that her perjury conviction
should be set aside.
A District Court jury last May

been an Ohio Communist in the

that connection.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff SEN
Iteneed her to eight months to
two years in prison. She was re-
LEASED later under $500 bond

mine the interest for future pro-
grams of the Ottawa County Fruit
Growers Association.
Growers were made aware of the
need of better organization among
themselves to provide for press
and air releases on availability of
fruit and other public relations
features. Many growers expressed
a willingness to help make the or
ganization more effective during
the current year.
The growers were served gen.
erous luncheon by the ladies of
Danbury Church and with the
courtesy of several dealers serving
fruit growers.
The afternoon meeting consider
ed factors to assure an adequate

irrigatiin and pruning were con-
sidered as appropriate measures to
help provide necessary moisture.

fruit grower gave the audience his
version of balanced long range
orcharding set-up including his re-
tail sales and storage venture.
Herbert Shumaker, of LaCarne

sential part of fruit growers
equipment.
Reinehardt Wendt of Oak Har-
Dor has combined cold storage
facilities with fruit processing
project. He assured his fellow
growers that his marketing prob
lens are definitely more orderly
and more profitable than the out
worn method of forced selling dur
