Furgol Takes Caliente Open i Golf Tourney AGUA CALIENTE, Mex. <UP)Old Ed Furgol, a 12-1 shot in tije betting, came tearing down the home stretch to win the $15,000 Caliente Open golf derby by a nose from the fast-closing Al Besselink Sunday. In a dramatic wind-up to one of the “gamblingest” PGA tournaments on record, the former National Open champion, now playing out of St. Andrews, IU.. nipped Besselink on the second hole of a play-off to decide the champion. > The two men had ended the tournament in a deadlock for first place,' each with an eight-under-par score of 280. Then they opened their private duel in the darkness, cold and rain — with Furgol capturing the S2OOO first prize when he got a par on the 450-yard hole as Besselink bogied. For Furgol, it was his third victory in the last nine months in a major tournament and again added proof to the fact that this man with the withered arm is one of the finest golfers of the era. He had entered the tournament as a lukewarm choice compared . with 8-1 for defending champion ) Mike Souchak, who ended up in ) a tie for third place with Gene r Littler. Stan Leonard of Vancour ver and Besselink had entered the ( tourney at 30-1. t But with those kinds of odds, ( Besselink can play like Ben Ho- . gan. And he did. Trailing Paul Harney of Bolton, Mass., by one stroke going into the final round. Besselink went out in 36, came back like a champion. But Furgol was a champion all the way through and there wasn’t any way to deny his steady playing, he shot rounds of 72-67-70-71-and then finished off the two extra holes in even par. The best long shot of the tourney, Zell Eaton of Pomona, Calif., at 60-1, came home in fifth place with a 283 and collected S9OO. Meanwhile, young Paul Harney of Bolton, Mass., the third-round leader, had trouble on the final round, took a husky 75 and ended up with 284 — which tied him with Jay Hebert; Dow Finsterwald, who had sold for top price of $4,250 in the Calcutta pool; and Jackie Burke. They each collected $725. College Basketball Ohio State 70, Michigan State 51. lowa 70, Wisconsin 47. 1 Minnesota 73, Northwestern 62.

Phil Dickens 1 New Indiana Foolbait Coach BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UP>Phil Pickens, Indiana's new football coach, today got his first look at what lies ahead. Dickens arrived on .the Indiana campus from his Wyoming home late Sunday night, stopping off to change planes in Chicago. Dickens, whose lifetime .702 winning' mark ranks him 10th among the nation’s active grid coaches, still had two years to run on his Wyoming contract. His Cowboys chalked up a 10-0 record and won the Skyline Conference crown last season. Dickens' overall record in ten years as Wyoming head coach was 69-27-8. Officials said Indiana awarded Dickens a four-year contract Saturday calling for an annual wage of $15,000. "I plan to attempt the same brand of ball at Indiana that I used at Wyoming," Dickens said. “It's a rather personalized combination of the single wing and the winged-T.” Dickens said he hoped to bring his entire five - man Wyoming coaching staff to Indiana. < s. . "We've talked about it a bit but at the moment I cannot definitely say all five will come with me. It's probable but not positive,” he said. The five are Bob Hicks, line coach; Wilbur Stevens, backfield; Lou McCullought, end coach; John Townsend, assistant line coach; and Burnie Miller, freshman coach. Dickens made no mention of the unique situation involving his appointment. Observers had been led to believe that Jim Tatum of North Carolina had the inside track. But late Saturday night, following a day's session with Tatum, Indiana officials said Tatum "was not applying for the job” and named Dickens.

Indian Settlement Struck By Measles One Child Dies, 100 Others Are Stricken FLIN FLON, Man. (UP) — An Irish immigrant nurse and a few helpers today battled an epidefhic of "black" measles which has killed one child and infected more than 100 others in the tiny Indian settlement of Pelican Narrows. Nurse Margaret Aiken, 25, who ' is in charge of a hospital at the settlement, said one child has died. An airlift has flown five other children to Flin Flon. Four of the more serious cases are in the outpost hospital at the Narrows. The remainder were being cared for in their homes by the nurse and her helpers, who have had little time to sleep for days. The victim was Lucy Custer, 11, who seemed to be improving when she suffered a relapse and died. Pelican Narrows has a population of 500 Cree Indians and a dozen white people. "Thank goodness, the adults are not catching the disease, or I . don’t know what we would do," the tired nurse said. “This epidemic has knocked everybody for a loop. It has gone through the . settlement like wildfire.” Alex Hannum New Coach For Hawks ST. YOUIS, Jan. 21 A— Ben Kerner, owner of the St. Louis Hawks, is expected to formalize today what pro basketball fans here already heard — that Alex 1 Hannum is the club's new coach. Hannum, 32-year-old National Basketball Association veteran, ran the team Sunday as Slater Martin, who succeeded Red Holzman less than a month ago, played in the Hawks' first victory of the season over the champion Philadelphia Warriors, 104-102.
