ment today. Indications were
that there might be other with
drawals If the rain continued,
particularly among the high
score group. There was only a
handful of spectators on the
scene for the second days play.
Stranahan Starts Well
Despite the weather, Frank
Stranahan played the front nine
lin two-under-par "a, one
stroke better than Bob Toski.
Both we're high yesterday, how
ever, Toski with 70 and Strana-
han with 70. Dick Yost, an anna
Iteur from Portland, Greg, had
IA 80 on the outgoing nine. He
was among the first round
leaders with "a.
The veteran Harrison was out
in Al, while Julius Boros, former
National Open champion, had a
big A.
The rain slackened in mid
morning. but the Weather Bu-
Ireau forecast thundershowers
throughout the day with fair
weather tomorrow.
Burke. whose II was the only
sub-par round yesterday, was
not overly confident because of
the weather.
Favorites Close Up
| That's not much of a lead"
he said. referring to his one
stroke margin over two of the
four pre-tournament favorites,
Jimmy Demaret and Sam Snead.
Il don't even feel like I'm out
in front"
| Except in the case of Cary
Middlecoff. the pre-tournament
choice of most golfers, the first
round proved absolutely nothing.
The current National Open
champion, however, had a hor-
rendous 70 and appears out of
it barring a miraculous come
back.
/ If you don't think the first
round was inconclusive. there
are IA golfers with 72 and 10,
and there are "a players from II
through "a. Then, too, the five
par shooters include Burke's
most dangerous challengers.
Snead and Demaret. the only
three-time champions.
Ben Hogan used a putter from
the fringe of the green four
times yesterday and took three
strokes to get down each time
in a 76. Ben didn't play well.
but he didn't play badly either,
and he could move in with some-
thing under 70.
Middleton was the real cas-.
ualty OF the DAY. The 1855
Masters winner staggered to 79
and will have to shoot 70 or
better today TO survive. For the
first time IN the history of the
tournament, the Masters field
will be reduced to the low 40 and
ties for the last two rounds to-
morrow and Sunday. It's an
other concession to television.

Cary said 1t was "the most
