The four-season record by a Butler player is the 1,248 racked up by O'Brien between 1946 and 1950. Guzek got 159 as a freshman.

Last year he upped it to 370. With the 123 already this year, his total is 652. He could be close by the end of the current season, and could murder it with even a fair senior season next year. Last year, of course, Guzek was the Indiana Collegiate Conference's top scorer and a unamimous choice for the all-conference team. This year the sky's the limit.

Guzek is wowing Butler fans, and there have been for the Bulldogs' first two home games, by getting the ball in the basket for a 24.6 average. His play, along with Bobby Plump and Wally Cox. brings back shades of the Buckshot O'Brien-Jimmy Doyle-Charley Maas era.

Guzek, who relies on a driving style of play and an assortment of one-handed shots, is on his way to a clean sweep of the all-time Butler scoring records. And he's only a junior. THE SLENDLR Hammond youngster electrified fans in Ohio State's new L. W. St.

The four-year-old son of Hoot Mon, owned by S. A. Camp and trained by Joe O'Brien again defeated J. Howard Lyons' Adios Harry for the honor, the United States Trotting Association balloting again placing the great pacer second.

Indiana received additional honors when Leo C. McNa-mara's Indiana bred filly Nimble Colby, winner of the Kentucky Futurity, was named top three-year-old trotter. The two-year-old trotters were led by L. B. Sheppard's Hickory Smoke.

Most of the top candidates appeared here during the fair, among them Max Hochberg's Fox Stake winner, Torpid, which was named top two-year-old pacer. THE TOP three -year-old pacer, Noble Adios, owned by Paul Wixom appeared here in a losing performance in the Horseman Futurity. Nimble Colby's Indiana race was a winning one as she won the trotting division of the Horseman Futurity, beating Brightside Farm's Bold Rodney. Good Counsel, the world champion daughter of Good Time, was second to Torpid in the poll, while Adios Harry, losing the top honor, was named the top pacer of the year. J.

D. (JAKE) Mahoney, who trained here for many years, died last week at a Chicago hospital. Mahoney had been in failing health since the middle of the season, but had gotten much worse in recent weeks. Among the horses which he raced locally was Goose Bay, 2:00 3'5. a son of Volomite and out of the world champion Her Ladyship, bred by Clair Wolverton of Indianapolis.

His fastest performer was the high-class mare Edna Brewer, which he drove to a record of 2:00 more than 20 years ago. ANOTHER veteran to succumb during the past week was Foy Funderburk, who suffered a fatal heart attack while training his stable in California. Funderburk's fastest performer was Brother Harmony.p. 2:00, which he raced here many times. Among the charges which he raced during the past season were the horses owned by Mr.

and Mrs. Paul C. Beckner of Indianapolis, most of their campaigning being over Detroit tracks. Walter Dispanette, training the Beckner stable, as well as a number of other charges, engaged Funderburk to do the driving, and it resulted in one of the most successful seasons the Beckners have had in many By HUGH FULLERT01V JR. New York (AP) After ignoring him for many years, the United States Golf Association finally is extending official recognition to Colonel Bogey, "a quiet, modest and retiring gentleman, unformly steady but never over-brilliant." But in doing so, the USGA is likely to cause a lot of confusion among American golfers who are used to referring to one-over-par as "bogey." In its 1957 rulesof golf booklet, soon to be published, the USGA will officially define "bogey" foe the first time, authorize clubs to establish an official bogey, as well as par, and an even greater departure from custom authorize the use of scores made under "preferred lies" or "winter rules" for computing handicaps under certain conditions.

The booklet also lists the first change in computing normal par since 1917. The scale for par four holes is extended TED GUZEK headed for all-time Butler record? zone defense before 6.187 field- house fans, Dec. 8, and hei pumped in 25 points for the 9,000, who saw last Monday's Butler-Indiana game in Bloom- ington. All that totals up to 123 points in Butler's first five games, in average of 24.6 a game against four Big 10 foes and a veteran Wabash quintet. "Gooze" has 19 more ball games to play this season.

If he maintains his average of those first five games, he'll wind up with 615 points. No Butler player ever scored more than 427 in a single season. Since the Butler-Purdue game of last season, he has scored 468 points in 22 contests. That averages out to 21.3 a game and, in two of those contests, he was held to four points and eight points something not at all likely to be repeated this season. ANOTHER all-time record likely to say "uncle" any night to the former Hammond Morton High School flash is the individual single game high mark of 39 points set by O'Brien against Ohio State at Columbus, in a post-season game at the end of the 1949-50 season.

Guzek has been -within two points twice once at Illinois earlier this season and again YOtltt CAtt Undercooling Danger To Engine Pointed Out Long Holes The United Services Club conferred the title of colonel on the imaginary man who was "uniformly steady but never The over-brilliant players apparently doomed "bogey" to disuse in its original sense until the USGA revived it today as "a secondary standard for those golfers for whom par is too lefty an ideal." THOSE SAME players are responsible for stretching out the yardage in relation to par. The USGA first set a scale for computing par in 1911. The scale of yards wasm-creased ond in 1917 then remained unchanged until a new scale was made necessary by "the fact that players have gradually developed an ability to achieve greater distance with the golf ball, by one means or another." The USGA further explains that the distances aren't arbi trary and allowance should be made for configuration, sever ity of hazards etc. which might make a hole harder or easier. Par and bogey both mean errorless play, without flukes, allowing two strokes on the putting green.

Here's how they'll be generally figured: Stero nr lotoy Up so 330 151 to 470 'l end oi tr Nona Up to 6 11 to 370 37 to 540 541 end ovor Although the USGA long has frowned on "winter rules' and all departures from normal play, the new policy will recognize scores made under local rules when computing handicaps if adverse conditions make such rules necessary. Even then it warns that the committee adopting such a rule should make sure the course's normal scoring difficulty is maintained as nearly as possible.

Formerly holes longer than 600 yards normally were rated as par 6's.

According to the USGA definitions, "par" is the score an expert golfer would be expected to make for a given hole. "Bogey" is the score that a moderately good golfer would be expected to make for a given hole. Bogey is the same as par except when the committee declares it to be one over par because of the difficulty of -a particular hole. The USGA, incidentally, doesn't try to define a "moderately good" golfer. The term "bogey" has been used in golf since the 1890's.

Could you tell me the reason this happens and what I should do if I' get stuck without help. Do I have to get the choke checked?" A.

Sometimes, the choke valve will stick in a closed or partly -closed position because of binding, dirt, gum, and cause flooding. In such cases, press the' gas pedal to the floor and crank the engine. This will pump out excessively rich fuel mixture and within a few moments the engine should begin, to fire. Naturally, if the choke isn't working properly, you should have a mechanic correct the trouble it's a relatively simple job. A now 1 tVpagi snoklot.

By EUGENE MILMOE Every motorist is familiar with overheating troubles, many of their causes and consequencesbut too little has been said about the dangers of undercooling. Proper heat energy is needed it the engine is expected to run efficiently. When operating temperature is too low, wear is stepped up, performance be comes sluggish, fuel mileage is disappointing and power is actually wasted.

A cold engine also encourages crankcase-" dilution and excessive sludge in the oil pan. How hot should the engine be? Temperatures ranging between 170 and 190 (or even 200) degrees are considered most desirable for smooth, responsive operation. This is the chief reason winter thermostats are recommended. Proper heat allows the engine to work easier, helps vaporize raw gas and eliminates corrosion and sludge-forming fuel by-products. H.B.
