STEWART A lot of good drivers will be among the 232 Buckeye that swarm over Westbrook's 414-yard fairways this week for the Ohio Amateur tournament, but undoubtedly the best of the lot will be a 46-year-old Columbus the name of Dan Carmichael. It's not that Carmichael actually hits the ball so far, it's DOUBLE LIFE Dan Carmichael as the leading production sports today at Lexington. Carmichael here to play in the tourney of Columbus leads a double car driver (in points) competing also is a former Ohio Amateur beginning at Westbrook Country Photo) just that as of yesterday, addition to being a leading contender for the "Am" crown, he was the leading Production sports car driver in the United States. Carmichael, who was the top F-Production driver last year in his first full year of sports car driving, is also a past Ohio amatuer champion, winning the event in 1960. The News Journal Sports Mansfield, Ohio, Sunday, July 11, 1965 Page ONE-C Warfare Resumes In County Classic Warfare in the 17th annual Richland County Golf Association Classic tournament resumes today at Twin Lakes, with four linksters hot on the trail of The News Journal traveling trophy, emblematic of the top 36-hole score in the fourflight medal tournament.

Ludi Schenk, an Flight 18-year-old, holds the halfwaypoint lead, as his 69 at Possum Run was two strokes better than his nearest competitors. Leading the AA Flight, and tied for second in the over all picture, are Al Hager, Jim Hilderbrand and Jack Miller with 71's. JERRY HUGHES, Charles Wright and Clark Simpson lead the Flight with 79's, while Howard Hamilton is the Flight leader with 81. One hundred and fifty-four Richland County linksters were scheduled to tee off this morning, in the richest Classic yet. In addition to the newly-instituted News Journal trophy, trophies will be awarded to each of the flight winners, along with portable televisions.

The first foursome was scheduled to tee off this morning at 7 a. m. on the par-71 Twin Lakes course. Vin Tipul is the defending champion. Tipul came in with a 38-35-73, good for a four-way tie for sixth place at Possum Run.

That Carmichael is one of the men in Columbus is indisputable. Driving his Sunbeam Alpine for the Sports Car Forum he travels all over the country, and has racked up wins at Lexington's Mid-Ohio track and at Danville, as well as placing second twice. four finishes in the Sports carl Club of America-sanctioned races have earned him 30 points, good for national leadership in his class. In addition, of course, Carmichael plays, golf at Columbus Country on weekends when he is not racing or tied up on business. "My business comes first," he said, "I only race or play golf when it doesn't conflict with work." Although he's never standing still, this week rates as one of the busiest of the year for him.

He arrived in Mansfield yesterday for two days of competition at Mid-Ohio. Monday is set aside for practice for the Ohio Amateur, and then Tuesday he swings into the first 12- hole qualifying round with the rest of the field. Because the "Am" is an elimination tournament, it's impossible to predict how long Carmichael will remain after Wednesday's qualifier. But judging from past performances, he should be here for quite a while. STRONG FINISHES In 1960 he rolled all the way into the winner's circle.

In 1962 he was the runner-up, falling to Blom. Last year, Carmichael fell in the third round to Ohio State University golfer-basketballer Jimmy Brown. When the Amateur was held at Westbrook in 01056 he also turned in a strong showing, finishing as medalist for the 36-hole qualifier. Despite his rich success in Amateur competition, Carmichael does not think too highly of his chances this year. haven't played too much golf this year, he said, "I've been sort of busy."
