Mike Souchak Lead
Shrinks 10 One Stroke
In Texas Open Golf
BY the Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Feb. 10
The ring frightened around
stout Mike Souchak today as he
led a field of 76 into the third
round of the $12,50O Texas Open
golf tournament with, only a
one-stroke advantage.
The squat man mountain
from Durham, S. c., had a score
of 1913, IA under par for SO
holes, but hot behind him came
tall Freddie Haas of Claremont,
Calf, with 129, and not too far
distant were two men who
wrecked par over the 6,400-yard
Breckenridge Park course -
Chandler Harper, the balding
veteran from Chattanooga, and
Jackie Burke, the boyish putting
genius from Kaimesha Lake,
N. Y.
Harper set the all-time record
for 70 holes last year with 259,
breaking a record 260 hung up
by Burke in 1852. Harper at the
halfway mark last year had 1873
and that's what he has at the
midway point this time. Burke
has 49,.
Souchak, whose 11-under-par
go Thursday tied the PGA rec
ord for IS holes, didn't find the
sailing so smooth yesterday-he
scrambled for a 68-and Haas
narrowed his lead to one stroke
with a 81.
In third place at 131 were
Burke and AL Balding. the tall
man from Toronto, who also had
a 81. Burke did Balding one
better with a 66. Next in line
were Bob Rosburg of San Fran
cisco. Paul MCGUIRE of Wichita.
Kans.. and John Barnum of
Grand Rapids, Mich, all with
1872.
Barnum, whose tee shot
bounced from the green into a
creek on the 18th hole Thurs
day to prevent him from also
shooting a so. could well lament
his luck. Yesterday the head
fell of his putter as he stroked
the ball toward the hole.
It was necessary to shoot q
under-par 140 to get into the
final SO holes and GA profess
sionals made it yesterday. There
were also - amateurs qualifying
but they needed only lat.

Signing Of Rookie
Makes Giants First
ToConpiete Roster
By the Asseeiosed Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-First
in the National League, first in
the World Series and first in ali
players signed was the boast OF
the world champion New York
Giants today.
The Giants beat the other
clubs to the wire by signing Bob
Lennon yesterday. He is a left
handed hitting outfielder who
slammed Ga home runs for Nash
vile last season while leading
the Southern Association with
a .345 average.
It was estimated that the
players probably got about $780,
900 or almost Is per cent more
than last year.
Because there is a delicate
balance on the club with few
big money" players, there is
not too much of a spread in SAL
aries. Nobody is close to the
$4,000 that Stan Musial draws
from the st. Louis Cards.

Minnesota Can Take
Big Step Toward Title
In N Game Today
BY the Asseeiased Press

Minnesota. seeking its first
undisputed Big Ten basketball
title in 18 years, can take a big
step toward that goal today by
defeating Michigan at Ann Ar
bor. (The game will be televised
over WTOP at 3 p.m.)
| The Wolverines, victors in
three of their last four starts,
can be mighty rough at home.
They beat Northwestern Monday
night and lost to Illinois last
week by one point.
If Minnesota beats Michigan,
the Gophers have one more road
game left against Wisconsin
Monday before going back to
Minneapolis for two games which
wind up the season.
Iowa Playing Spartans.
Iowa, only a half game behind
Minnesota, is at Michigan State
tonight, while Illinois, the other
contender, Is at Wisconsin.
Michigan's chances Of upset.
ting the Gophers rest largely on
the broad shoulders of Ron
Kramer, sophomore football end
who is finding himself at home
on the basketball court.
Kramer started off slowly but
appears to have reached his peak
with 28-point performances
against both Purdue and North
western.
Meanwhile, time was running
out for the pretenders to the
Pacific Coast Conference cham
pionship, and it looks like UCLA
and Oregon State in the show
down for the automatic NCAA
tournament berth that goes with
the title.
Oregon State Extends Streak.
Oregon State, which wrapped
up the Northern Division title
earlier this week, extended it's
unbeaten league record to 10
games last night by humping
Washington State, 1851. UCLA
doesn't have the Southern Di-
vision title under lock and key
yet, but the Uclans don't need
much more to stow it away after
beating California, 55-48, while
second-place Stanford slipped.
1853, against Southern Cali
fornia.
That combination clinched at
least q tie for UCLA. All the
Bruins need Is another victory,
or o second Stanford defeat,
when they 60 up against the
same rivals tonight. Then they'd
advance to the three-game play
of against Oregon State start
ing March 4.
Idaho State could move into a
reserved NCAA spot tonight
against Montana State. A vic
tory would give the Bengals their
third straight Rocky Mountain
Conference championship. They
beat Montana State, 1857, last
night, but 1t wasn't counted in
the title race.
. All of which made for q
healthy NCAA tournament pic

Drying Tracks Promise Speedy Derby and Widener

b :
ARCADIA. Calf, Feb. 1s.-It
was Texas-owned Blue Ruler
against the field today as Santa
Anita prepared to stage the 17th
running of its 100000 added
Derby.
Blue Ruler, seeking his sixth
straight and most important VIC
tory, was the individual fayorite.
and with his stahlemate, Jeans
Joe. promised to be the betting
choice.
Fourteen colts were named but
there was a good chance that
the field would be less by post
time - approximately 8 pm.
tEST9--in view OF the changing
condition Of the track. The
race will be worth $137.500 If
all start.
Arrayed against Blue Ruler
and Jeans Joe, who are owned
by Mrs. Clint Murchison and
Mrs. Wofford Cain Of Dallas.
were:
Swaps, Bequeath, Trentonian.
Fabulous Vegas, Beau Busher,
Right Down. Treadgold, Nabesna.
Blue Pencil, Honey's Alibi, Cover
Me Up and Trackmaster.
First Major Test.
The Santa Anita Derby, at a
mile and one-eighth, was the
first major event of the year
for the 3-year-olds. It's OUT
come may have an important
bearing on the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
With pardonable pride, Santa
Anita can point to two winners
out of the last three here who
went on to win the Kentucky
classic. They were Calumet
Farms Hill Call In 1852 and
Andy Crevolin's Determine last
year.
Midweek rains gave the racing
strip good soaking. But brisk
winds and summery weather
yesterday, followed by continued
bright skies today, dried the
track considerably. There were
indications that 1t would be
labelled good, If not fast, by
post time.
Each candidate carried l18
pounds.
Most of the experts figured
the Derby would evolve into a
scrap between Blue Ruler and
Jeans Joe from the Murcskn
Stable, Rex c. Ellsworth's
Swap and Calumet's Trentonian.
Won Juvenile Honors.
Blue Ruler, a Nasrullah colt,
won the juvenile honors in the
West as a 2-year-old, with VIC
tories in the Hollywood Starlet
and Del Mar Futurity. In his
only start this winter, he came
from far off the pace to win
over a field that was hardly i'm
pressive. Going into the race
today. the precocious bay had
won $82.725.
The Derby, on the basis of ID
starting, was worth $90,400 net
to the victor.
Trentonian was given a good
chance to spring an upset, just
as his Calumet predecessors. Hill
Gail and Chanlea, did in 1923.
This Bull Lea colt had three
stake victories behind him ond
money winnings of $73, ,445, sec

field.

night. The Deacons topped the

Park earlier in the season.
Both Maryland and N. C. State
have 1912 records in the Atlantic
Coast Conference, and Maryland
beat the Wolfpack when they
met earlier at College Park. 68-
"a. The Wolfpack is notoriously
tough on its home floor at
Raleigh, although it has been
beaten there this season.
The Terrapins are rolling
along fairly well at this late
stage of the season. Although
they have had their moments of
trouble in several recent games,
they have been beaten only by
George Washington (twice) in
their last Is starts.
Hoyas Conceded Chance.
CIV is taking an 11-game win
ming string with it tonight. It
hasn't played West Virginia
since taking an 1914 decision in
the semifinals of the Southern
Conference tournament last
March at West Virginia, at
which time the Mountaineers did
not have Hot Rod Hundly play
ing for them.
Hundly is carrying an average
of about % points a game, but
at times is hotter. In his last
game he accounted for 35 points
as the Mountaineers beat Pitt
for their third straight win since
losing to Penn State.
Georgetown has a chance
against a Navy team that is not
having one of its best years,
such as last season when the
Middies beat the Hoyas, 1l0-75.
Navy was beaten by Gettysburg
last Wednesday for an SO sea-
son record, while Georgetown up
set Villanova and Seton Hall and
almost did the same to Fordham
since its recent shakeup.

United States forces in the

Renville McMann, vice presi-

While the makeup of the

Top Choices Can't Go.
The women's representatives
probably will be Jean Clark
from Birmingham, Ala, and
Darlene Hard, the promising
junior miss from Los Angeles.
"This matter hasn't Crystal
lized fully yet," McMann said.
I'VE have had problems. At
first, Hamilton Richardson, jr.,
and Louise Brough were our top
choices, but now it looks as if
neither may be able to make it."
Richardson, who made the
Davis Cup campaign in Aus

studies at Tulane University.
Miss Brough, former national
champion, at first was anxious
to make the Mexican trip but
later found previous commit
ments might prevent it.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Fred Langsam, was presented with beautifully made gavel by Walter Sipprell for the Alaska Steamship Go. The gavel was made from wood taken from the S.S. Victoria, their ship which brought passengers to and from Nome for over 40 years and which played an important part in the development and history of this area.
 The material in the gavel came from the superstructure, which was removed when the ship was stripped down and sold recently.
 A lively discussion was held concerning the leasing of the sec nic Kougarok Railroad from the territory for tourist purposes. It was finally decided that the Curly Q operators should deal directly with the territory to make the matter more business-like and re- lieve the Chamber of any reSpon- sibility.

Compact Proposals Go Down

refusing to approve the power trusts
number one objective" of 1856
the Columbia River Compact. Had this
measure made the grade in the legis-
latures of the several states involved
the way would have been opened for
the private utilities to dominate and
control all future resource develop
ment in the Pacific Northwest. Such
a compact commission, as noted last
week, could order the raising of Flat
head Lake by eight feet, and there
would be nothing the people of the
upper Flathead valley could do about
it.
Another compact proposal passed
by the Senate, and calling on the
Governor to put in motion efforts to
secure the drafting of a Missouri
Basin Compact, for purposes similar
to the proposed Columbia compact,
went down to defeat in the House by
q two-vote margin.
