"Barbers lost In the finals of the charge of the security forces at the course, received an anonymous phone call from a restaurant owner who said he overheard some hippie-patrons making their plans, The strategy, according to the call, is for five nude girls to slip onto the course on some pre-tournament night and lure the guards away from the 18th green. While the guards were away, goes the plan, the male members of the group, armed with grass-killing chemical spray, would paint the word "peace" on the 18th green, thus killing the grass in time for their message to get national attention when the final two rounds are televised.

Okla. (AP) Bon Hogan withdrew, there were rumors of a nude hippie Invasion and Arnold Palmer braced again for a shot at the one major championship that has eluded him. Hogan, a living legend from another era of golf, told officials Tuesday that his ailing left knee, encased In a steel brace, was hurting him so badly he was forced to pull out of the PGA national championship that begins Thursday. Hogan, 57, a four-time National Open champion, has been in Tulsa for several days and played a number of practice rounds. He limped heavily.

"The knee wasn't too bad over the weekend," he said, "but it started acting up Monday. Now I just can't do it." He said the heat wasn't a factor. One hundred degree-plus temperatures and high humidity turned the 'South Hills Country Club course into a steam bath over the weekend, but cooled off considerably early this week. "It's not the heat." Hogan said, "it's just this gimpy leg." Palmer, meanwhile, played a practice round with England's Tony Jacklin, the U.S. Open champ, and, naturally, drew the winning five 'do or die' games '(games in which losses would have ended their season) before Cookies.

L. James Contractors have had is because Coach Billy Henderson always recruits well from area schools (i.e., Dubach, Spearsville, Simsboro, Jonesboro-Hodge) to go with the Ruston players. Recruiting players is one of the problems in Legion baseball because many kids have summer jobs or don't want to play. More often than not, the Shreveport teams hav3 come up with limited rosters and simply couldn't compete once they made the state playoffs. It will take better recruiting to make the Shreveport teams stronger and to fill the two teams in Bossier.

One thing that could help fill the rosters is the addition of Negro players, who have never been included in the Legion program. We think Shreveport has a good Legion program now. But we think there is room for improvement, too, and we hope the Legion post sponsors, Fourth District Commissioner Marvin "Hoot" Gibson and the Legion coaches will consider our proposals when they meet to make plans for next summer. It's not that we weren't satisfied with the Fourth District season this summer. But we would like to see a strong over-all program which would produce stronger contenders for the state Legion championship which the Fourth District hasn't won since 1950.

Over that same span Shreveport has had six state prep champions. Legion program can be reshaped i with the new LHSAA districts in I mind. It's not really fair to expect a Class AAA Legion-based team to compete with a Class AAAA based club, so our plan calls for a combination of several schools. Keep in mind that when two or more schools are combined to sform a Legion team, the total I enrollment cannot exceed 3600 students (for grades 10-12). Our plan has City Division teams for Southwood, Woodlawn.

Fair Park, Captain Shreve and tByrd (all Class AAAA). North-Iwood and North Caddo, both short in manpower this season rand both Triple-A, could combine for one team. Jesuit players would play in the districts where they live, I which they always did until this 1 past season. I The sponsoring American Le-igion Post 14 must also consider (teams for players at Booker T. 1 Washington, Linear and Bethune, 'the predominately Negro schools Jnow in the LHSAA.

Bethune, a 'Triple-A school with a small enrollment, could be combined with another school's team. In Bossier Parish, there are four Class AAAA-AAA schools jj and Benton. Airline (AAAA) and i Bossier (AAA) have baseball programs and there may be teams at Haughton and Parkway (both AAA) this spring. From that nucleus, there is enough total enrollment to, support two I good Legion clubs.
