Sammy Snead Early Leader In Doral Open MIAMI (UPI) — Golf’s new year swung to an old refrain as they chased Slammin’ Sammy Snead into the second round of the $50,000 Doral Invitational golf tournament today. The Slammer, at 51, playing shots out of his youth, whipped around the sun-blistered Doral course on the edge of the Everglades with a rousing four under par 33-35—68 which put him one shot on top of the pack in the opening round. Old Sam, recent winner of the PGA Senior’s championship for his 114th tournament triumph, wasn’t satisfied. He hasn’t won a tour tournament since May of 1961 and he finished second in this one last year. He sank four birdies, while missing only one green to post 14 pars the rest of the way, and jumped one shot in front of a hot sixsome. This group included big Mike Souchak, Ohio Bob Shave, Dave Hill of Evergreen, t Colo.; Bert Yhncey of Philadelphia, 50-year-old Joe Lopez Sr. of Key West and Ken Venturi of San Francisco. Jack Nicklaus th r e e-putted three greens but still whipped out a two under par 35-35 —70 which put him in that bracket with nine other hopeful challengers. ’ And Arnold Palmer, off to his worst start in eight years, scrambled mightily. He went for an even par 72. The 70 group with Nicklaus included Billy Casper and Jay and Lionel Hebert. Another shot off - the pace at 71 was a host which included big John Barnum, Art Wall, Ed Furgol and Chi-Chi Rodriguez.

Columbus Lone Unbeaten Team In Final Round ..Last of four stories on the finalists in the Indiana high school basketball tourney. By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Bill Stearman, who hopes his Columbus Bulldogs will become the third unbeaten team to win the Indiana high school basketball crown, isn’t buying any of that “weak schedule business.” Columbus went through the past tiwo regular seasons without a loss and some critics implied its “soft touch” schedule had a lot to do with it. “All schedules are too weak when you win most of your games,” he said. “We have played two poor games— Martinsville and Greensburg— and only a fair gaine against Indianapolis Howe, but we were still good enough to win.” The Howe game during the regular season, 78-71, was the closest all year. “I have always felt the difference between a good team and an average team is that the good team can win on the nights it looks bad,” said Stearman. Meet Huntington The top-rated Bulldogs take on Huntington in the opener of Saturday’s three-game championship round. Huntington and Lafayette were beaten only once during the season and Evansville Rex Mundi, the other finalist, has lost twice. Columbus is the highest-scor-ing crew ever to reach the finals with a per-game average of 94 points and a winning margin of better than 35 points. Stearman credited his team’s shooting ability and defense for these records. The Bulldogs are built around 6-6 Jerry Newsom, who is good for 27-28 points a game plus his share of rebounds, and 6-1 Steve Hollenbeck, a chunky but speedy 215-pounder who has a fine hook shot. Rick Stoner, who quarterbacked the football team last fall and who also stars in baseball, and Vic Thixton also hit in double figures, as do the combined efforts of guards John Partin and Steve Arnholt. Stearman recalled he was hr grade school when Columbus made it to the final four in 1938. He watched the Bulldogs lose to eventual champion Fort Wayne South. • Despite its awesome tourney record, Stearman said Columbus had some hard games. “Rushville didn’t break until the third period in the semistate, and I thought Howe would be tougher the second time,” said Stearman. Columbus beat Howe by seven points during the regular season but by 25 last Saturday and dumped Rushville for the semi-state title by 17. Pressure on Others Stearman indicated he expected the state finals to be tough because “the record of the four teams speaks for itself.” t “We’re just happy to be here,” he said. “We just play the best we can and if we have a bad game we’ll get beat.” However, Stearman figures the pressure is “on the other team.” “The fact we’re unbeaten hasn’t worried us,” he said. “The pressure is on the other team because it has to be at its best to beat us.” Stearman said this year’s team is physically stronger than last year’s club that lost to eventual state champion Muncie Central in the local semi-state tourney. Before the season started he said flatly Newsom was “the best big boy in Southern Indiana without question”—and nobody has given him an argument to date. , If Columbus gains the title game, Newsom has a good chance to erase the final fourgame record of 114 points by Jimmy Rayl of Kokomo. He already has 61, tops among semistate shooters last weekend. College Basketball National Invitation New Mexico 72, New York U. 65. Bradley 67, Army 52.

Top State Honors To Bates, Whitaker SALISBURY, N. C. (UPD — The National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Awards Program has singled out Marvin Bates of Evansville, Ind., and John Whitaker of Hammond, Ind., for top state honors. Bates, of WGBF, was announced as Indiana’s outstanding sportscaster for 1963 and Whitaker, sports editor of The Hammond Times, as the state’s outstanding sportswriter. Both will receive their awards here m April. New Mexico, Bradley Meel In NIT Final NEW YORK (UPI) — Joe Strawder, Bradley’s 6-foot-9 senior center, will be the tallest man on the court Saturday afternoon when the Braves oppose New Mexico for the National Invitation Tournament championship — which is one reason why he will be the center of attention. The other reason is that in all probability Strawder holds the key to the final game, in which Bradley seeks its third NIT title. The Braves, and in particular Strawder, humbled Army Thursday night, 67-52, to advance to the finals after deliberate New Mexico defeated New York University, 72-65. Strawder was an inconsistent performer most of the season but still finished as Bradley’s second-high scorer and leading rebounder. After a listless showing against St Joseph’s in the NIT quarter-finals last Saturday night, Strawder was benched in favor of 6-foot-3 sophomore Ernie Thompson. But Strawder didn’t sit down for long. Thompson drew his second foul with 13:42 remaining in the first half and the score tied, 10-10. Strawder’s entry sounded the death knell for Army’s Cinderella hopes as he led the Braves on a 17-2 spurt with 10 quick and easy points. First Half Sorge Strawder finished with 19 points for the half, by which time Army trailed 40-24. The. biggest Brave was removed ffom the game early in the , second. half when he suffered a slightly sprained ankle. He did not score another point for the night, but the damage already, had been done. New Mexico, playing in its first NIT and seeking to become the sixth team to win the title in its first appearance, will make things very difficult for Strawder, especially with 6-foot-8 Ira (The Large) Harge at center., u -.... : 1 Harge, one of the finest defensive centers in the nation, scored 14 points and blocked seven shots despite being in foul trouble throughout much of the game. He and Mike Lucero, who outscored NYU’s Barry Kramer were the outstanding exponents of New Mexico’s favorite weapon—defense. Harge continually bottled up the Violets underneath the basket, and Lucero held Kramer with a field goal for the entire first half. Close Battle NYU, trailing 37-31 at the half battled back to tie at 37-37 with 17:04 remaining in the game on Kramer’s first basket of the game. The two teams deadlocked nine times until Lucero, who shared high-point honors for New Mexico with 18, shook loose for a layup with 3:26 left. The Lobos, employing the same tactics that carried them past Drake in the quarter-finals then controlled the ball for almost two full minutes before Dick (Boo) Ellis got free underneath for two insurance points. Happy Hairston was the high scorer in the game with 26 points, and Kramer added 14 for NYU. In addition, Hairston scored six of the Violets’ last eight points when NYU made one final try for victory. Lavern Tart scored 20 points to take scoring honors in the Bradley-Army game. The Cadets, shooting poorly throughout the game, were led by Bill Helkie’s 11 points.

Army Says Cassius Is Not Qualified WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Army announced officially today that heavyweight boxing champion Cassius Clay “is not qualified for induction into the Army” under the draft. In announcing his rejection, the Army said it is satisfied that “Clay put forth his best efforts” when he was given physical and mental tests on two occasions. It was reported that Clay failed the mathematics tests given inductees. The tests included measurements of aptitudes for various skills needed in military service, the Army said. The second set of tests was given Clay when the first results were found “inconclusive.”

Batting Power To Be Key To 1964 Braves (EDITORS NOTE: This is the fifth of 20 dispatches on the 1904 prospects of the major league baseball teams) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPl)—The Milwaukee Braves think they have solved the outfield prob 1e m which has plagued them since their National League pennant winning days in 1958; in doing so, however, they may have created a pitching shortage. Manager Bobby Bragan does not go along with that feeling on pitching, though. “We wouldn’t have made the deal,” he said, referring to the one in which the Braves obtained outfielder Felipe Alou from the San Francisco Giants, “unless we felt we had youngsters ready to take over." The Braves gave up pitchers Bob Hendley and Bob Shaw and catcher Del Crandall for Alou, catcher Ed Bailey, pitcher Billy Hoeft and infielder Ernie Bowman. Shaw is the big pitching loss, for although he had only a 7-11 record, he became an outstanding relief ace during the latter part of 1963 and was credited with 16 saves. Power Is Key Batting power will be the key to the 1964 Braves. Bragan is counting largely on Alou, rightfielder Hank Aaron, third baseman Eddie Mathews, catchers Bailey and Joe Torre, and Gene Oliver, who may finally find a permanent home at first base. He has problem in getting the trig bats of Torre, Bailey and Oliver in the lineup at the same time. The solution may ,be that Torre will platoon at first base with Oliver when Bailey catches. That would be against righthanded pitching. Against lefthanders, Bailey would be benched with Torre catching and Oliver playing first. Bragan wouldn’t trade his catching for any other in the league. In addition to Torre and .Bailey, Oliver also can catch as well as play the outfield. He may lead off again with second baseman Frank Bolling batting second, followed by Mathews, Aaron,. Alou, Torre or Bailey and Oliver. That leaves the eighth slot in the lineup for the shortstop. It' could be the veteran Roy McMillan, still a fine play maker, to start the season with Dennis Menke eventually taking over. Menke will step in the lineup as soon as Bolling, Mathews or McMillap falters because he can play every position. Spahn Tops Pitchers Warren Spahn, the amazing 42-year-old southpaw, will head the starting pitching rotation. He was 23-7 last year and shows no signs of slowing up. Behind him will be righthanders Tony Cloninger ' (9-11), Bob Sadowski (5-7), Henry Fischer (4-3) and lefthanded Denny Lemaster (11-14). Bragan tabs righthander, Daniel Schneider, who won only four games while losing three in the minors last year, as a possible starter. Righthanders Frank Funk (3-3) and Ron Piche (1-1) and southpaws Bobby Tiefenauer and Hoeft, 2-0 with the Giants last season, form the bullpen brigade with Jack Smith, a Los Angeles Dodgers castoff, another relief possibility. Bragan is the first to admit it doesn’t add up to a championship staff, but pins his hopes on youngsters like Cloninger, Fischer, Lemaster and Sadowski “coming of major_ league age and starting to win big.”

beaten once during the regular season while Rex Mundi lost two. Rex Mundi's Monarchs had their workout on the Butler Fieldhouse floor Thursday while Huntington and Lafayette worked out Wednesday. Columbus, because it played at Butler last week in the Indianapolis semi-state, did not get a practice shot at the fieldhouse floor. With one day left before the showdown, one player was still listed as a dubious starter. Lafayette’s 6-5 senior center StuMlller turned an ankle in practice Tuesday and Crawley said he would not know until Saturday whether Miller would be able to play. Tickets for the Saturday sessions at the fieldhouse were at a premium today with a sellout crowd of 15,000 virtually assured. No tickets were available from normal sources and police were on guard against scalping. Lafayette’s Bronchos, winners of the title in 1916 and again in 1948, are the only former champs still in the running. Crawley also won two titles at Washington in addition to Lafayette’s 1948 championship.
