Tony Lema Holds Three Shot Lead
GRAND BLANC, Mich. UPI —Champagne Tony Lema toasted a three shot lead entering the third round of the Buick Open golf championship today on what he described as a “course built for us clean livers.” The 7,280-yard Warwick Hills course, longest the pros have played this year, didn’t bother Lema at all as he tacked a birdie — sprinkled six under par 66 to his opening round 69 for a 135 total. He birdied six holes in a row — two below the all-time PGA record — in firing nine birdies against three bogeys and six pars for his lead over

husky Mason Rudolph of Clarksville, Tenn. Lema missed that eight-in-a-row birdie mark set by Bob Goalby in winning the 1961 St. Petersburg Open with a 65. But he was in fine position to post back-to-back victories for the first time since big Jack Nicklaus did it in 1962. Tall Tony, who won the $20,000 top money in last week’s Thunderbird Classic, jumped into his fat lead on a day of remarkable events.

Gary Johnson To Face Yeomans In SemiFinals
Lunt Is Favored In Half Tourney CANTON, England UPI — Michael Lunt, a 29-year-old
Well it’s happening again — “hardwood hysteritis" has broken out in Greencastle once more. The last serious epedimic ended in March, when a "cure” was discovered up at Layfayette, but the plague has broken out anew here in Greencastle. Yes, nowhere but in Indiana, Greencastle in particular, does this disease seem incurable. Any true Hoosier knows that I am referring to our native mania-basketball. Last night in the Greencastle High School gymnasium two teams of wildly enthusiastic junior high boys from our town took on a group of equally eager youngsters from Lebanon. Indiana. This summer basketball activity is a part of Dave McCracken's recreation program. In the first of two games last night Greencastle’s boys won a victory over the pre-
j high schoolites from Lebanon by the score of 34-27. The local netters were way out in front at the half 18-5. However, the Boone County boys rallied in the third period to pull within 3 points at the end of the quarter, 24-21. But the local boys pulled away in the final quarter on the shooting of young Tom Clary to attain their seven point win. Clary topped the scoring in the opening tilt with 12 points. He was followed by Wally Steele with 7. John New and John York both added 4 to the Greencastle total. In the second contest Greencastle again defeated their Lebanon opponents. The home town boys opened a commanding lead early in the first period which was never relinquished. The Lebanon coach called time with 0:27 left in the opening quarter
and Greencastle leading 13-1. The quarter ended with Greencastle on the long end of a 15 to 2 score. In the second period the young Cubs cooled off somewhat from their hot first quarter pace, but still led at the half 24-10. The scoring of forwards Coyners and Ross was the key to the big first I half margin. The third quarter was again ; the rallying point for the Lebanon netters. They pulled to within nine points with 2:55 left in the period but the Cubs held on for a ten point 31-21 lead to protect in the last frame. The Lebanon boys pulled to within seven with 4:29 remaining in the contest when their big center, Kern, hit a key field goal and added a charity toss. Pete Norris came to the
rescue with two field goals and added a charity toss. This put the game on ice. The final score was Greencastle 45, Lebanon 35. High scorer for the Cubs was Norris with 11. He was closely followed by Ross and Coyners with 10 each. Lebanon was led by Clemens 9 point total. Kern, Walker, and Huse chipped in 7 and Lewis garnered 5 for the visitors. If last night's performances are a true indication, Greencastle fans can look forward to several years of exciting, winning basketball. The young basketballers showed a good knowledge of the fundamentals of the game and a great deal of desire, two of the basic symptoms of “hardwood hysteritis.”
HOOSIER HYSTERIA—JUNIOR VERSION A mild relapse of Hoosier Hysteria has hit Greencastle. The Greencastle Junior High Summer League played the Lebanon team in action last night, winning both games 34-27 and 45-35. In the left-hand picture Jonnie Edmonds (45) grabs the ball from the hands of an unidentified Lebanon player while his teammate, John New (15), looks on. In the second game Howdy” Conyers (41) and K.

Sandy Registers Victory No. 8 By United Prei* International For all the Los Angeles Dodgers’ troubles, Sandy Koufax is right on the 1963 schedule that carried him to a 25-vic-tory season and Cy Young pitcher of the year honors. A year ago, Sandy chalked up his eighth victory in the Dodgers’ 55th game and just Friday night he recorded No. 8 In the Dodgers’ 55th game of this season with a 3-0 decision over the St. Louis Cardinals. What’s more important, it gaves aces Don Drysdale and Kouiax back-to-back shutout
wins that moved the Dodgers to within one game of .500.
West Virginia Team is Champ ST. JOSEPH, Mo. UPI — West Liberty W. Va. stayed behind the pitching of Frank Ujcich and toppled Georgia i Southern, 5-0, Friday night to gain the championship game of the 8th annual National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes NAIA baseball tournament. Ujcich limited the Georgia team to five hits, set a new tournament record and doubled in the last two West Virginia runs.
The victory moved West Liberty into Sunday night's championship game with Grambling La. College which moved through the first three tournament games without a loss.
Coach Of Year INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Huntington's Bob Straight, who coached his team to the runnerup spot in the 1964 Indiana high school basketball championship, Friday was named the state’s “coach of the year.” The Hammond native and Ball State Teachers College graduate was picked in the annual balloting by the Indiana Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association.
Yanks Can Win Tennis Crown WIMBLEDON, Eng. UPI — The favored United States team can clinch its fourth consecutive W T ightman Cup tennis title by winning only two of their remaining four matches with Great Britain today, but the Americans are not about to be satisified with a split. “We hope to win them all,” said team captain Mrs. Donna Floyd Fales of Arlington, Va., shortly after the U. S. had taken a 2-1 lead in Friday’s opening day of competition. The Americans swept the two singles matches and the British won the doubles matches.

Number one seeded Gary Johnson, one time resident of Terre Haute, gained another victory Friday morning at Blackstock Stadium. He is Los Angeles State's last hope in singles competition. Gary handled eighth seeded Dick Johnson of Kalamazoo College in two sets, 6-1 and 6-3. The victory was a sweet one for the wiry 24 year old Californian who had lost in doubles competition to the Kalamazoo team led by his opponent Dick Johnson only the day before. “I was tired yesterday. That was the third match I’d played that day. They were a good team, but we should have waited until today to play them.” But he showed no signs of fatigue in Friday morning’s heralded Johnson & Johnson “antiseptic” match. His sharp curving serve kept the Kalamazoo boy constantly on the defensive position. “When my serve is on it’s best stroke. I can usually follow it to the net and force my opponent to make mistakes. Or I can follow through with my angle shots.” That is the strategy he executed almost perfectly in the victory which carried him to the Friday afternoon semi-fi-nals. “Dick is the best man I’ve faced thus far in the tourney. I had to play my best. The guy was really good.” Gary, a former All-Navy tennis player, compiled an impressive 35-4 record during the regular season. One of his losses came against John Yeomans
of Redlands College, whom he faces in the semi-finals. In three contests against the third seeded Yeomans, Gary was victorious in two. Gary is undoubtedly the man to watch in this tournament, and if he continues his fine play he should reach the final round today.
Yankees Whip Chicago's Sox By United Prei* International The American League is on notice today that Yogi Berra and the New York Yankees are no laughing matter this year-u’hatever the experts, the astronomers or the astrologists may think. The notice took the form of a 6-1 and 3-0 Friday night sweep of the Chicago White Sox which moved the Yankees to within three games of first place. It hardly seems possible that only a week ago people were counting ’em out of the race for reasons varying from lack of pitching to the fact they’ve never won a pennant in a year ending in four.
