Tied for Lead
InPhoenixGo|f

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 10
(AP). - Three young sharp
shooters, with combined ex-
perience of less than six years
as golf tour regulars, held a
skinny one-stroke lead as an
army of par-wreckers headed
into today's second round Of
the $50, 900 Phoenix Open tour
nament.
Out front with four-under-
par 66s in the opening session
were Bill Collins, Dave Mari
and Mason Rudolph, but A
others who bettered or equaled
par yesterday were within
striking distance.
And, while some Of these
bigger name performers were
virtually lost far back in the
crowd, the gang Of leaders in
cluded an unusually large num-
Der Of still lesser lights.
For instance. among those
only a single stroke back was
Buddy Sullivan of Yuba City,
Calf, whose only big golf pay
off came when Joe Campbell
sank q $4,000 hole-in-one in
the 1860 Palm Springs tourna-
ment. Sullivan and Campbell
had agreed in advance to di-
vide the money If either shot
an ace.
The 32-year-old Collins, from
Baltimore and Crystal River,
Fla, is the most seasoned of
the leaders with three years
on the tourney trail. Rudolph,
from Clarksville. Tenn. has
been q full-timer for two years
and Mari, from Houston, Tex.
for IA years.
Both Collins and Mari
dropped long puts for eagle IS
on the 495-yard 9Th hole. but
the most spectacular shot of
the opening round was a GAS
yard three-wood shot for O
double eagle on the same hole
by Gene Cotchonis of Los An
geles. Cotchonis, who has
failed to earn q single pay
check in II Journeys last year
and three this winter, finished
with q one-over-par II.

The low-level bridge portion about Ia miles long,

Before the Hawk Mountain
Sanctuary Association was formed
in 1884 and established the ], 400

In those days, according to
people at the refuge, hunters
carried cases of ammunition to the
mountain top and thousands of
hawks were slaughtered as they
migrated south.
But in its work, the refuge has
created a sympathetic understand

come from many States to watch

primarily on rodents, and only
few are bird catehers.
"And the bird catchers have
their place, too, for that is natures
way of keeping down the less hardy

Mr.. Macy will tell you about the
different hawks the broad-wings,
such as the red-tailed and the red
shouldered; the short-winged
birds, such as the Cooper's and
sharp-shinned hawks, and the fal-
cons which include the duck hawk,
pigeon hawk and the sparrow
hawk. Then there are the marsh
hawk, in a class by itself, and the
golden and bald eagles and the
soaring vultures, or carrion birds.
And if Charlie is still around,
you can see at close range a spar
row hawk, smallest of the falcons.
Charlie was captured when a
young bird and was finally brought
to the refuge. He became tame, and
usually accompanies Mr.. Macy to
the lookout.

| George w. Dean, State Forester.
Since 1851. in addition to the
spots treated on private land by
the Division of Forestry, the
United States Forest Service has
located and treated 1862 infec-
ton areas on the National Forest
land in Virginia. No oak. wilt
infected trees have been found
east Of the Blue Ridge Noun
aims.
During June and July aerial
surveys were conducted by the
Virginia Division of Forestry on
all privately owned land west of
! the Blue Ridge Mountains. This
is the ideal time to spot wilt in
fected trees. The aerial survey
was reinforced with ground sur
vey by Division men as they
went about their routine work.
said Dean.
Since most OF the infected trees
are on privately owned land, per-
mission must be granted before
measures can be initiated. Con-
troll involves girdling the infected
oaks and all oaks of the same
species group within 80 feet of the
infected trees. This provides an
isolation strip around the infect
ed trees to prevent spread of the
wilt through the roots. In addi-
ton to the girdling hormone
weed killer is applied to the
girdles to prevent sprouting and
hasten root kill.
Prompt treatment of infected
trees is important. said the State
Forester. This includes the num-
Der of wcod-boring insects breed
ing in the infected trees. These
wood borers NAV carry the wilt
fungus to healthy trees. Control
methods used by the Division
have been quite successful.
Spread of infection beyond the
isolation strip has been less than
per cent.
State Forester Dean advises
that extra precautions be taken,
especially during spring and ear
ly summer, to prevent wounding
oaks in the course of logging
operations, pruning of right-of-
ways. grazing woodlots and other
activities that might rupture the
tree bark.
