Quinby "Hadacol" Hines, a 150-pound place-kicking specialist whose value was expected to be sharply curtailed by the two-platoon ban, booted a 10-yard field goal in the fourth quarter here today and for the second time in three seasons produced the winning margin for William Mary's thinly-manned Tribe to score another upset victory by 16-14 over Wake Forest in the fifth annual turn Navy airman from La Jolla, who never had a golf lesson in his life, won the 53rd National Amateur championship today by sinking an 1 8-foot birdie putt on the final green for a 1 -up victory over Dale Morey of Indianapolis.

Playing brilliantly all afternoon The veteran southpaw chased home two runs with his smash to Morey, a 32-year-olJ sandpaper salesman, ex-pro and former basketball player, picked up one on the 28th where Littler twice banged into the rough for a six and then he canned birdie putts of five and ten feet on the 16th and 17th greens to send the grim duel to its final hole all even.

There both had excellent drives down the fairway but Morey, stricken again with a chronic push shot, sent his approach into a sand trap on the right of the green. SETS LP CLINCHER Littler laced a seven-iron shot to the broad green carpet, 18 feet past the hole. Morey blasted out remarkably well, leaving himself an eight-foot putt. But he never got a chance to sink it as Littler, giving his assignment a cursory look, stepped up and nudged the ball into the cup. It was straight all the way, hit the back of the can and plunked in, as a roar went up from the crowd.

Showing his first real emotion of the entire tournament, the stocky Californian dropped his mallet-headed putter and threw up his hands as if to say: "Well, that's it, thank goodness!" At 23, Littler, who has 15 months more to serve in his four-year Navy hitch, is one of the youngest ever to win this championship. Francis Ouimet was 21 when he won back in 1914. Bobby Jones won his first of five crowns at 21 in 1924 and Billy Maxwell was the same age when he triumphed at Saucon Val and easily the outstanding performer for the 15,000 fans who turned out.

Followers will be talking for a long time about the comeback of Morey, a tensed-up tournament veteran who had won seven straight events, including the tough Western amateur. TROUBLED BY COLD Troubled with a hacking cold and priming himself on vitamin pills and orange juice, the fidgety ex-pro saw his game go into almost complete collapse on the first nine of the afternoon round.

He had held Littler even through the morning round of a grim par-for-par duel and had taken the lead at the third hole of the afternoon when Gene overshot the green and took a bogey four. But then Morey's miseries began, and they came in kingsized portions. He lost four of the next five holes, picking up on three of them and taking double bogeys, two over par, on two. Littler had an even par 71 for the afternoon compared with Morey's 75. A favorite from the beginning, the Californian played steady golf throughout the week.

He was three under par for 158 holes. Gene learned the game from his parents, both good golfers.
