Bob Goalby Is Winner In Los Angeles Open LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Bob Goalby, once a reserve quarterback but now a first string golfer, today had “lots of luck,” a new putter and Arnold Palmer to thank for his biggest win yet — 7,500 top prize in the $45,000 Los Angeles Open. He captured the big loot Monday in a stirring head -to - head stretch drive with crowd favorite Paul Harney — the leader at the halfway mark and going into the final 18. Goalby broke the, slender, graying. Worcester, Mass., pro with a sensational birdie on the 12th. From there on in. he played it cool and careful' to make it a waltz, increasing his winning margin to three strokes. He listed his three charms thusly: Must Putt Well — "You’ve got lo have more than a little luck to win. I had' mine.” — — “You never win anything unless you putt well. I used a r.tw putter for my last two tournaments and won them both," “When Arnold Palmer shot his 12 (the US. Open charm ion had a 12 on the final hole of ris first round which helped Lad to his early elimination*, he ndLtd a lot of us younger nros. ’ Goalby. who plans to play in the San Diego Open this coming weekend "and just about every tournament I’m eligible for this year,” wrapped the tournament on the par-three, 229-yard 12. He belted a tee shot 25 feet short of the hole. Then with a bold putt, he rammed it home — the ball hit the lip of the cup. bounced a foot high in the air and dropped squarely in. Nursed Stiff Neck Harney, who has been nursing a stiff neck throughout the tournament had his downfall on the same hole. He started the day one stroke ahead of the pack and had predicted it would take a “68 on my part to win.” He made the turn at the front nine all even with Goalby. But he missed the green with his tee shot on the 12th. chipped up short, ahd missed a 20-foot putt to fall two strokes off the pace. This shook him so much he later picked up another bogey and finished in a tie for fourth. In second at the finish were Eric Brown, Glasgow, Scotland, and Art Wall Jr., Pocono Manor, Pa., to take $3,325 each. At 279 with Harney were Billy

Commodores, Berne In 2nd Team Finals The Decatur Commodores and Berne Bears will battle for the Adams county second team championship at 7 o’clock Thursday night at the Adams Central gym. These teams won their way to the finals with victories in the semi-final round Monday night at the Monmouth gym. The Commodores eliminated Geneva in the opening semi-final, 40-35, and Berne, defending champion, downed Pleasant Mills, 6539. Berne had drawn the first round bye, and the other three semi-finalists won opening round games Saturday morning. In the opener, the Decatur lads held an 11-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. However, they were limited to only four points in the second period while Geneva tallied 13, and the young Cardinals held a 19-15 edge. But Geneva scored only two points in the third quarter, with the Commodores counting 12 to take a 27-21 bulge into the final period. Baker was the Commodores’ top scorer with 16 points, and Hake added nine. Burke topped Geneva with 10. Berne led all the way in the nightcap, holding margins of 1610 at the first quarter, 32-24 at the half, and 47-33 at the third period. Branstetter paced Berne with 16 points and Kingsley added 12 and Staley 11. Williamson led Pleasant Mills with 13 markers.

Leo Durocher Named Los Angeles Coach LOS ANGELES <UPI> — Leo Durocher, who first joiii&d the Dodgers 23 years ago, was back with the same club today as a coach—a job he asked for after charging major league owners had blacklisted him. Donning the same number two he wore as both a player and manager, Durocher joined with Los Angeles Dodgers Manager Walt Alston in officially announcing at a press conference Monday that he was back with the club. It marked his return to baseball six years after leaving the then New York Giants as manager. Still the frank, outspoken figure lie had been throughout his baseball career, Durocher said he went to Los Angeles General Manager E. J, (Buzzie) Bavasi and asked for the coaching job. His appointment marked the first time Duixv cher has become a coach. He went from player to manager before. "After all. I'd been out of work for 15 months," he pointed out, “I wanted to get*back to work, especially in baseball.” But Durocher said his coaching j job would not prevent him from,

Berne Is Heavy Favorite To Win County Tourney ; \ \ ' y 1 ■•' • ... : r '; /'" ‘ ' ' ” _ Opening Wednesday Night

* The unbeaten Bears of Berne will tangle with the host Adams j Central Greyhounds in the opener! of the Adams county tourney Wednesday at 7 p. m. ql the Adams Central gym. Berne without a doubt the top-heavy favorite to retain the crown which they won last year by defeating the Geneva Cardinals in the title game, 36-32. The Bears of coach Bruce Smith racked up their 11th consecutive win of the campaign on their home floor Saturday night by besting the Auburn Red Devils. They possess the tallest team in the county with a front line composed of 6-5 Rod Schwartz, 6-4 Dick Smith, and 6-3 Jerry Nussbaum, and in Schwartz they have the co-leader in the county scoring race. The Bears also own two fine guards in Stan Augsburger and Gary Habegger, and sophomore Erv Inniger has proved a capable replacement if Smith is ] weakened from (the attack of mumps which he recently encountered. Not Conceding In the Adams Central camp, however, the Greyhounds are conceding nothing, although their record of 1-10 would tend to indicate a Berne runaway. The A.C. quintet has been rapidly improving in recent games and coach Amzie Miller may have his boys primed high enough for a big upset. The Greyhounds have some size of their own and Jerry Hirschy and Claude Striker can put the ball through the hoop. Hie second Wednesday night contest will find Geneva’s vastly improved Cardinals dashing wito the winless Spartans of Pleasant Mills. Here again are the prospects for a top-sided affair as Harry Anderson's Cards have . been on the upswing during the past two weeks, as they knocked off the Monmouth Eagles Friday night and took Adams Central the Tuesday before. The Cards have five boys on their squad who have been the high scorer in one game or another. Jim Baumer, Ron Yoder, Larry Moser, Mert Sprunger and Larry Lehman, have been toe top pointrgetters at one time or another, Sprunger once .hitting 30 tallies. Baumer, in addition to his scoring, is one of toe strongest lads in the county and can handle the backboards. First Victory? The Spartans, meanwhile, may be looking for their first victory of toe season in the second game Wednesday, and a tournament game could fire them up enough to get that first campaign win. Ron Daniels and Marv Luginbill give coach Tom King two fine ballplayers and Mel Ohler and Jerry Smith can put the ball , through toe ring, which they have proven on occasion. The return of Jim Death to toe squad will give the team some height, also. Hie Decatur Catholic Commodores and Hartford Gorillas will collide following toe second team final Thursday night for toe right to meet Monmouth, which drew toe-bye, Saturday afternoon. Young Team Hie Commodores have a young, well-balanced ball club and could be the surprise of the tourney. Coach Leon Youngpetor started the season with very little, experience, but has brought toe boys to a 6-4 record, and toe team could jell into a real solid outfit at any time. Steve Blythe, Don Kitson, and John Kohne are averaging 11.9, 11,4, and 11.1, respectively, and give toe green and gold a wellbalanced attack. Jerry Heimann and Jerry Villagomez are averaging 7.5 a ball game and Tom Kohne is hitting around 6 points an outing. Kohne is really a better scorer than that, but has been hampered by an early season ankle injury and is just now rounding into top form again. Hartford won their first three games of the season and then went down to eight straight deCollege Basketball Indiana 79, Michigan State 55. lowa 76, Wisconsin 68.

feats, before winning out over Gray last Tuesday. ( The Habegger boys, Gene Grogg, Bob Fields, and Keith Zuercher have shown they can score, and with Tom Agler asj coach, the Gorillas are capable of j anything. Agler, while not having much material to work with, has always made contenders out of his teams. __ _____ Could Win All The Monmouth Eagles made it into toe semi-finals without even playing a game and with two good ball games, could very easily go all toe way. Don Brown and Dennis Braun are a one-two scoring punch. Brown leading the county in scoring toe past few weeks, surrendering to a tie for the lead to Berne’s Schwartz Saturday night. Loren Bieberich, 6 feet, 5 inches tall is a good rebounder, and lately is beginning to put a good dent in toe scoring column. Ken Kolter and Roy Fuhrman add more scoring punch to the Don Elder poached Eagles. All in all, it should be a good tourney for Adams county fans to watch, keeping in mind that toe Everett Rice sportsmanship trophy will be presented to a team this year, instead of an individual. Hie trophy will be presented to the team whose players, | coaches and fans show the best; sportsmanship throughout toe j three-day affair.
