Again, he flashed his all-around linksmanship to outclass San Jose's Warren Mc-Carty, 6 and 5 in, the third round before running head-on into teammate Gene Coulter in the quarter-finals. In one of the outstanding matches of tournament Wampler turned hot on the back nine for a 3 and 1 victory even though" he lost, the 16th with a birdie to Coulter's eagle three. His semi-final round against Billy Maxwell of North Texas State proved that the Indianapolis shotmaker was a real competitor. After losing the first three holes to sensational putting, Wampler began the long trek back, finally winning 3 and 1 on the 17th green. In the finals he again proved that he could come from behind.

One down at the halfway point despite a five-under-par medal round of 67, he called upon his clutch game to annex the title. The end came when he layed a stymie on the 17th green for the 2 and 1 payoff victory over Colgate's Bob McCall. 0 0' Konstanty Hartung Beats Braves NEW YORK, July 1 Clint Hartung pitched and helped bat the New York Giants to a 4-2 triumph over the Boston Braves today.
