Western Ace Scores 148 On Rain-Soaked Oakmont
Olympia Golfer Tallies 73 in Second Round; New Albany Star Has Two-Day Total of 169.
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor OAKMONT, Pa., Sept. 13.—Old Man Par, a grim gent with no nerves and an ice cube for a heart, stood astride Oakmont and dared a field of badly licked golfers to try the issue with him again today in the second qualifying round of the National Amateur Championship. This is the day when many are called and few are chosen. the day when every man in the field goes grimly to work against i —» the hope of winning one of match play positions. The early leader today was Marvin (Bud) Ward of Olympia, Wash., who had a two-day total of 143. He tallied a 35-38—73 today to add to yesterday's 75. Fcddie Held, Edgewater, Colo., checked in with a two-day total of 150. Hoosier Scores 169 Walter Cisco, a New Albany, Ind., sharpshooter playing from ths Louisville sectional, turned in a 41-45-86—169, Badly licked yesterday by Oakmont’s impregnable par of 72, the best of the nation’s amateurs clawed and fought for survival over a long, tough course soaked by an over= night rain, Maurice McCarthy Jr. Cincinnati, was the only man able to get par yesterday.

Favorites Believed Safe
Favorites seemed safe. Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati came in with a 79 which, together with his 76 of yesterday, gave him 155 and put him safely within the qualifying circle. Johnny, who won the Amateur Championship at Garden City, N. Y., two years ago, was having trouble with his putter, and had six three-putt greens on today's round. Reynolds Smith, Dallas, Tex, came in with a total of 152, adding a 78 to yesterday's 74. Rill Russell led the four from ths Indianapolis sectional yesterday with his 40-39-79. Bill Reed had 40-40-80, Paul Carr scored 43-38 81 and Fritz Cox, of Terre Haute, an Indianapolis alternate, posted 4440—380.
