But he has -played some of the finest golf seen on the trying: par 35-3570 Lake Thursday he was up against two of the strong. saved his lead. Aaron, who shot a 33 on Olympic's ragged front nine in the morning as he eliminated former champion Dick Chapman, 3 and' 2, did the same thing against Kocsis in the afternoon. "He was wonderful," Kocsis said.

"I just had no "chance. He went out in 33 and was even better corning back." Aaron was four up at the turn, halved the 10th. then won the next three holes to bring the match, to a mercifully quick end. Foote. who was hospitalized for a month last winter with mononucleosis and had to drop out of college for a semester, dumped big Don Bisplinghoff of Miami Beach, Fla 2 and 1, in the morning then smacked down Taylor with a two under par afternoon performance.

Dick birdied the eighth and ninth to reach the turn, one up then won five of the next six holes, three, with birdies, and ended the match with a shot on the 144-yard loth that stopped about three inches short of being a hole in one. Other morning results saw McManus defeat ciaude" Wild jr. of Bethesda, 3 and Taylor defeat Eric Hanson of Toronto. 2-up: and Kocsis edge Clyde Oskin, Bethlehem, 1-up. players who have been finalists in the Amateur championship John Dawson, Chuck Kocsis and "Bud" Taylor.

Wettlaufer, who knocked out Ward, 3 and 2, with a superb morning performance, went down before McManus. 1-up, in the afternoon. Foote eliminated Taylor, runner-up to Hillman Robbins Jast year, 4 and and Aaron handed Chuck Kocsis, runner-up to Ward in 1956, a 7 and beating. Dawson went out in the morning fifth round, losing' 3 and l-to; Bman, who came very close to stopping Coe Thursday afternoon. In Friday's, semifinal matches it will be Coe.

the smooth-swinging fermer champion who is determined-to repeat. against McManus. the mystery man of the tournament, and 21-year-old Aaron against 20-year-old Foote. Regardless of who wins the second match, it will mark the first Mme a college golfer has reached the finals since Blly Maxwell won ths title in 1951. Coe.

One up at the" turn, lost the lead when his young opponent won the' 10th and 12th holes. He made an amazing rebound shot to the green from the base of a tree on the 10th but had a bogey there. Then he knocked in an 18-foot birdie putt to draw even on the 14th hole and he canned an eight-footer after a firSs" approach shot on the 603-yard 16th.

"I played a little better this-afternoon," Coe said; 'I only hit about two bad shots while I had five or six in the morning." Wettlaufer, the pudgy 22-year-old Hamilton college lad who hardly made a mistake in his morning victory over Ward, continued his fine golf in the afternoon. But he had nothing to match McManus scorching putter.

long 16th, McManus SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11 Lean Charlie Co, tired and drawn but playing like a man with mission, von his way into the semifinals of the 53th National Amateur golf championship Thursday along with two college boys and a virtually unknown salesman-golfer. Coe, the 34-year-old Oklahoman who won the title in 1949, fired two year rounds Thursday over the rugged, hilly Olympic club pourse and struggled in with a pair l-Bjr victories over Dan Morgan of Bakersfield, and Deane Beman of Bethesda, Md. Joining him in the semifinals Friday, when trying 36-hole matches are in order, were- Tommy Aaron, two-time Southeastern, conference champion; from Gainesville, Ga and tbe University of Florida; Dick Foote. a UCLA senior from Santa Ana, whose! biggest tournament victory has been the Western Junior; and Roger McManus, a 34-year-old woolen salesman from who never got past the fourth round in three previous appearances in the Amateur.

Coe plays McManus and Foote plays Aaron. Sent to the sidelines Thursday, were two-time champion Harvie San; Francisco's favorite son; his conqueror, Ward Wettlaufer; and three nerveless college kids who have dominated this tournament. In tho morning he shot a 36-3470 against Morgan in a match that was settled when the 23-year-old Fresno State student skulled a shot out of a trap on the short 15th hole. In the afternoon Coe's score again was 36-34 and he had to sink a couple of big putts on'the back- ONCE Dark Is Listed As Top Choice For Cards' Job THE smallest ihan on the team is giving Philadelphia some big ideas about the eastern division of the National Football league. That would be Tommy McDonald, Oklahoma's all-Arrierican halfback who has developed into a corking good slot back for the Eagles, who at 8:05 p.m.

Saturday match muscles with the Detroit Lions, the NFL's defending champions. Tightly wound Tommy, at 5-10 and 182, is a wisp of a lad among Eagle behemoths who range up to Chicago Clubs Red Sox, Pads 2nd Place Gap CHICAGO. Sept. 11 UP) The second place Chicago white Sox hammered Ike Delock for four runs in the fifth inning' Thursday to defeat the Boston Red Sox, 4-1. for a sweep of their series and a game lead over the Red Sox.

The victory went to Dick Donovan, -with help from Turk Lown after he developed a wild streak in the eighth. It was the big right hander's 13th of the year and evened his season's record. Ted Williams made two hits and batted in the Boston runs, raising his batting average to .320 and tying his teammate, Pete Runnels, for the America league lead. Runnels made one hit in three times at bat. tacKie jess icicnarason ampie o-o, 272-pound frame.

But exactly as he did at OU, McDonald more than makes up for what he might lack in size with his indomitable spirit, and Philly- has taken t.o him like a prospector to uranium. The Eagles have something pretty special to assay at that, and from coach Lawrence Timothy "Buck" Shaw down to the water-boy, McDonald, originator of the Sooners' fast break, has won the ST. LOUIS. Sept. 11 UP) Alvin Dark, an aging pro with a flail for leadership, emerged Thurs.

day as the No. 1 candidate to replace Fred Hutchinson who is or shaky ground as St. Louis Cardinal manager. Hutchinson seemed certain te be fired by the end of the season, barring a change of hearl by club president August A. Busch or a last-minute surge to third place or better by the Redbirds.

Dark, veteran shortstop-third-baseman traded by the Cardinals to Chicago earlier in the-season, will be 36 Ln January. He has been a perennial team captain and considered a natural leader since his college days at Louisiana State. He has been frequently mentioned as managerial timber since he led the then-New York Giants to pennants in 1951 and 1954. Several others have been mentioned for the Cardinal job Birdie Tebbetts, Solly Hemus, Red Schoendienst, Johnny Keane and Harry Walker but Dark appears to be on top at the moment. Tebbetts, who quit recently atf Cincinnati manager, talked witlj Dick Meyer, executive vice pres ident of the Cardinals, Wednesday in New York.

But both insisted he was offered an administrative job. "I've been offered jobs of that nature by se-veral clubs," Birdi said, "but not a single one ha offered me a managerial job. The delay by the Cardinals in making public a decision oa Hutchinson, with the close of ina season si a indicates tha present No. 1 choice is a player. The only way the Cards could obtain a player before September 29, the day after the season ends.L would be on waivers.

Hemus. 34, at Philadelphia, and 'Schoendienst, 35; at Milwaukee, both are former Cardinal players now late in their careers.

NORMAN, Sept. II Iff! It as "switch-around" day again Mrs. Dunson Wins Central Golf Title By BOB HARTZELL Mrs. Raymond Dunson came through with six-foot putts on the 16th and 17th greens to hold off Mrs. Claude Beeler's final bid and win.

the Central Oklahoma Women's Golf association for the fourth time at Lincoln South Thursday. 2 and I.Mrs. Beeler was the defending champion and Mrs. Dunson had been medalist for the past six years and had won the tourney in 1953, 54 and 55. Mrs.

Mrs. Dunson then went ahead to stay by win- Thursday at the University of Nats' 7, Tigers 6 DETROIT, Sept. 11 W) A ninth-inning Detroit rally fell short and the Washington Senators edged the Tigers.

Four players were on the Injured list during Thursday's two workputs which included a scrimmage in the morning session. They are guard Jerry Thompson, fractured left hand; fullback Glenn Scars, ankle injury; guard Jim Davis, illness; and center Gerry Marchbank. who re-fractured a wrist in the morning fez I STILLWATER, Sept. 11 Three sets of halfbacks are deemed ready to play as Oklahoma State primes for its Denver opener. But the exact manner in which they wiU fit into the Cowpoke two-unit backfield is something that Saturday's closed game scrimmage will help decide.

It now appears that the backbone of one attacking unit will have Dave Cross at quarterback and Larry Rundle at fullback. The spine of the alternating starters will have Dick Soergel, quarterback, and Forrest Campbell, fullback. Campbell was the No. 1 fullback a year ago but was hurt in the opening minutes of the Arkansas opener and played no more in 1057. ftanficld Shake Cold Runclle estahlished himself as one of the hardest driving Cowboy fullbacks in years, on a par with Earl Lunsford, coach J.

Tommy McDonald First he etched a deep impression last year when Philadelphia switched him from halfback to end, figuring that because of his blinding speed and sticky fingers they had "wasted" him for two-thirds of the season. First in Punt Returns AT his new station, Tommy played end as if he owned: the patent and in addition was almost as devastating on put and kickoff returns. In the last four games he palmed nine passes 288 yards and three touchdowns. Longest gain was 61 yards, on a scoring 3lay, and his aerial average was a bulging 25.33.

In punt returns he led the league with 127 yards off 26 carries. He also ranked high in kickoff returns with 304 yards from 11 such cruises. That was enough to win his pro spurs as a freshman. This year the courage shown in fighting off a nagging leg injury- has won more admirers for the wiry blond blur who was indestructible while in col-ege. In the exhibition opener at Baltimore last month Tommy, who had scored earlier on an 83 yard punt return, went over again on a 26 yard pass play and was hurt when tackled in the end zone.

Pleading to get back into action the following week, McDonald talked the trainer into some practice action and worsened the wound. Since then he hasn't hit a lick but the Eagles say he will be ready at least for limited duty on tbe familiar Owen turf he used to blister as a Big Red member, Oklahoma Remembers Shaw SHAW, who has been around the pro and college coaching circles for considerably more than a short cup of coffee and coached those good looking Santa Clara teams Oklahoma met in the old days, had seen Tommy only in films when he took over the Eagles as Hugh Devore's successor. Says the'Silver Fox of the Albuquerque flash, "For little man he has a tremendous spirit, he blocks well and has a wonderful pair of hands. He has the kind of speed that can break any game wide open." Principally because their offense has been bar-anced and beefed up due to McDonald's showing and the addition of Norm Van Brocklin, things are looking up for the team that made off with only three league victories for the last three years. Philly is delighted with the deal that brought Van Brocklin to the Eagles in exchange for former quarterback Jimmy Harris, another player and a draft quarterback Norm has the ball club in the palm of his hand," runs the Philly "As Van goes, so go the Eagles, and he is in complete command on the field, at all times." Philadelphia figures it is going to hurt someone with its improved pass-run weapon, believing it has as good a chance as any to win what is shaping up as one of th NFL's most hectic races.

Eagles tc Be Better FOR nine years Van Brocklin has been one of the best, a guy wlic can thread a needle, while at alot back McDonald will catch anything on which he 'a5Norm isnow 32 years old but after playing a few games for the Eagles he commented, "I'd like to spend nbout 10 more years under coach Shaw." Philly likes to kid Mm about the running feud he had as a Ram with Sid Gilmnn. Right off the bat this year Shaw wanted to know what the score was and Van Brocklin laughed it off like this: "Well, wanted to coach the team and Gilmnn refused to let me." Philndelphia has strong first loam and is thin among the reserve, but hopes to add- some players when cutdown time roll- nlong. The Eagles believe thoy have the ingredients of contender, for giving them some strong running are Bill Barnes, Inst year's rookie sensation, and Clarence Peaks. Add to that the Van Brocklln-McDonald tandem and Philly could be hard to handle. They'll keep th defense honest par 3 lltn green l0 par me noie while Mrs.
