Harvey Ward Ruled Out As An Amateur CHICAGO (UP)—Two-time U.S. Arqateur golf champion Harvey Ward Jr. no longer was an amateur today and the United States Golf Assn, said it all was a matter of “misinterpretation of the rules.’’ The USGA Executive Committee Friday slapped a one - year probation on the San Francisco amateur. It said he “had violated his amateur status” and “no longer was considered an amateur.” Ward was with the committee when the decision was announced. He murmured “I feel terrible about this whole thing" and “I didn’t realize I did any wrong," and then walked out. The USGA contended Ward "violated his amateur status” by accepting expenses “incident to participation" for a four-year period baginning with the British Amateur in May, 1952, and ending with the Colonial Tournament in Fort Worth, Tex., on May 6, 1956. USGA Executive Director Joseph Dey, said it was “usual" for the group to penalize a case such as Ward’s “beginning with the date of the last violation.” Thus Ward would be eligible for reinstatement, if the USGA thought such action advisable, by Mqy 6, 1958. Dey said Ward would not be eligible to participate in the 1957 Amateur to defend his title, but the USGA had no intention of declaring his previous titles, won in 1955 and 1956, vacated.
