| Snead Barely Squeezes Info Field For Open NEW YORK (UPD—The slammer had himself a scare but Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., will be there nevertheless bucking his old jinx in the U.S. Open golf championship at Mamaroneck, N.Y., June 11-13. Now 47 and with time running out on his hopes to bag the only major title he never has won, Snead squeezed into the Open field by the margin of a single stroke in his 36-hole qualifying test at Washington Monday with 72-70—142. That earned him a three-way tie for the last of 12 places available at Washington. One more shot could have meant curtains for another year. All but eight of the 150 places in the field have been filled with the final eight moving in today at Atlanta, where rains forced a postponement Monday. Ellis Paces Nation Wes Ellis of Aldecress, N.J., with 65-68—133 in the star-studded field at Cincinnati, paced the nation in the 12 sectional trials contested and most of the top tournament pros survived. So did Deane Beman of Bethesda, Md., and Bill Hyndman of Abington, Pa., finalists last Saturday in the British Amateur championship. But there were casualties along the way. Among the familiar names missing at tee-off time next week will be former Open ( champs Lew Worsham, Gene Sarazen. and Tony Manero; E.J. (Dutch) Harrison, Mason Ru- j dolph, Portky Oliver, Ellsworth Vines, Harry Cooper, Sam Urzetta, Walker Cuppers Billy Joe Patton and Ward Wettlaufer, Al Besselink and Jim Turtiesa. , Snead wasn't the only headliner who had a tight squeeze. Jackie Burke and Gardner Dickinson made it among 30 at Cincinnati only after winning a four-way playoff for two places. Pete Cooper Survived in a four way playoff at Detroit. Al Balding of Canada got in by one shot at Buffalo, the ( last nine qualifiers. Hot Golf at Clovernook The day’s hottest golf was at Cincinnati’s Clovernook Country Club Where 60 of 69 players battered par. Ellis, who won this year’s Texas Open, was 11-under 1 with his 133 on five eagles, eight birdies, 17 pars and six bogies. 1 Roger McManus of Cincinnati, low amateur of the day, was sec- . ond to Ellis with 66-69—135. Mas- : ters champ Art Wall <137), Bill ] Collins (137>, Don Whitt (138), Bo ( Wininger *138), Ken Venturi (139) < were among the Cincinnati qualifiers. Big Mike Souchak of Grossinger, N.Y., led the other big section, at Springfield, N.J., with 6869—137. Doug Ford, Mike Fetchick, George Fazio, Vic Ghezzi and Shelley Mayfield also qualified there among a total of 30. Walker Inman of Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., led Snead s Washington section with 135 with Arnold Palmer and Ted Kroll among the successful 12. In addition to the 123 who sur- , vived Monday’s rounds, 19 others , were exempt from qualifying tests. Included were defending ‘ champion Tommy Bolt, Ben Hogan, Dow Finsterwald and Cary ( Middlecoff- ’ ( Club House Chatter p < City League W L 1 Steffen Motors 1314 6*4 ’ Yetters 10M> 914 ‘ Central Soya . 9'4 s’/4 J G.
