Evans, now a Chicago milk executive, admitted that Bobby's 41 years would slow him . “Maybe he couldn’t keep the pace of playing championships ‘every day,” the oldtimer said. “But if he set his mind on just four events a year, he could win them hands down.” : Bobby, however, has said he would never strive for a comeback. His only returns to top-flight competition is his annual “courtesy” appearance in the Augusta, Ga., masters’ tournament. He usually winds up near the middle of the field. Evans admitted that today’s crop of “name” golfers—Byron Nelson, Cig Wood, Sam Snead and others —are good. : “But Bobby can come back any time he wants,” he said.

Defending champion Terre Haute Wiley and six of its most dangerous rivals won last night by impressive scores. Ellettsville, 1942 runner-up, piled up the biggest score in defeating Quincy, 70 to 27. Spencer, in the same preliminary tournament, eliminated Stinesville, 35 to 23. ¢ The Sullivan preliminary also is expected to be’ the scene of fireworks. © The host team swamped Merom, 55 to 19, while Dugger, the only team to defeat Sullivan's Golden Arrows this year, was ousting Pleasantville, 5¢ to 33. Linton’s twice-defeated Miners took Newberry into camp, 56 to 29. Wiley defeated Prairie Creek, 50 to 28.

While beaten, 50-48, in its last start by Minnesota, Purdue still is regarded as a dangerous contender. The Boilermakers have one of the season’s greatest sophmore finds in Ed Ehlers, a guard. Ehlers has scored 41 points in thrée league games and pairs with Allen Menke to ve “Piggy” Lambert's quintet two top offensive threats. . Menke has netted 45 points in conference competition.
