Johnny Frederick of Brooklyn "busted" his way back into the big six yesterday and Al Simmons moved up a notch as a semi-official check on the records revealed that one of his hits had been overlooked in previous reckonings. While most of the other leaders in big league hitting1 were idle, Frederick made two blows in four times up against Cincinnati and took second place in the National League. His average went up five points while Gabby Hartnett, who didn't hit at all, dropped out of the sextet. Simmons' extra hit gave him a .372 mark and second place in the American League and the big six.

May 25. (AP) Blazing his way over the Winged Foot course in sub-par figures, Jqe Turnesa, today, showed the way to some of the nation's greatest golfers in the first round of the metropolitan open golf championship. The Elmsford, N. professional, whose chief claim to fame is wining runner-up honors to Bobby Jones in the 1926 national open, toured the difficult course in '70 strokes, 2 under perfect figures, to lead by one stroke Olin Dutra, the defending champion and holder of the P. G.

A. title from California. BURNS UP COURSE. Dutra, shooting a 36 on the out nine and then coming home in 35, posted his 71 early in the day and apparently had the field whipped for the first eighteen holes when Turnesa came in with this brilliant score. Turnesa, off to a fast start, burned up the course on the first nine holes with a 33.

He slipped a trifle on the home nine, however, taking a 37 when he failed to get down a two-foot putt for a birdio 3 at the fourteenth and a putt of the same length did not drop for an eagle at the sixteenth hole. If both putts had hit the mark, he would have broken the course record of 69 set by Jones. The stalwart Californian, who won the tournament last year with a sensational seventy-two hole score of 282, holed a seven-foot putt for a par four on the eighteenth green to beat out 25-year-old Walter Ko-zak and Willie MacFarlane for runner-up honors. Taking only twelve strokes for the first four holes, Ko-zak finished with a par 72. KX-CHAMPS IX RUNNING.

MacFarlane, formrr national open champion, gave little indication of shooting par golf when he went out in forty strokes. At. the turn, however, he braced and with his putts dropping came home in 33. be top price for "Big Game" tickets this fall, according to announcement by Alfred R.

The only votes In favor of the metric system, which has also been adopted by the National Amateur Athletic Union, were those of John Maarce of Bowdoin, Mike Ryan of Colhy and Jaako Nlkkola, Harvard's javelin coach. exceeded the pole vault record of 14 feet inch.

Templeton's minimum figure of 40 points is regarded by most of the experts as more than enough to assure the honors for Stanford, although Southern California is prepared to put up a stout defense of its title with a squad of eighteen.

Southern California's coach, Dean Cromwell, sees nothing more than Stanford in the fight for first. He said: "They will score 30 points in the shotput and discus and jave-llne throws. That In itself almost guarantees first place for them. I think they will score 68 points." Eight new records as assured with the introduction of the metric system for the track events.

By William Lelser "Armless backs" are taking charge of the Bronco attack. At least, as the new plays at Santa Clara develop, and as they unfold up to the point at which the power is actually applied, the ball carriers appear to be without arms. They all take the same attitude. Arms folded.

Each palm tucked under the opposite elbow. Four of them, twisting through their "twin spinners," will converge in double quick time, and will "wheel apart just as quickly, each with shoulders humped in exactly the same manner, and each with arms so close to the body that there seem to be no arms at all. NO FOOTBALL IN SIGHT. Which one has the ball? Ah, that's the point. One of them has the ball, but he doesn't show it.

Ho looks just like the other three, to all intents and purposes a back without a football, and even without arms in which to carry one. That's the new auxiliary for deceptive free wheeling the development of sixteen backs who actually can conceal the football when they have it, and appear just as they do when they have it as when they do not. I don't know if this development is responsible for all the enthusiasm at Santa Clara. Ferhaps the new "self shifting" or "defense controlled" attack by which the Broncos make rivals call Santa Clara plays, as we attempted to explain yesterday, Is responsible. NEW STEEO IN BACKFIELW.

Perhaps the fact that, for once, "Clipper" Smith has at least two men, two men in each case on close to a par, battling for every position, is responsible. Perhaps it's the new speed in the backfield, which includes such as Leo Esswein, brilliant, smart 170 pounder who was held out last year; Mai Wright, the terrifically fast 200 pounder who can play fullback, or right half; "Swede" Carlson, 185 pounder, who looks a lot like Ernie Nevers and runs a lot like George Gipp, and Vincent Dowd, who can't be distinguished from his twin brother, Vilas, except when the two line up, the latter at guard and the former at quarter. All these extremely promising boys are new blood, and no doubt they have a lot to do with that highly confident spirit at Santa Clara, and with good reason, for there are many of them. AFTER CARDS, TOO. We never even mentioned Friski fense controlled" attack, they should be.

Their line as good as that of the team that beat the Bears last fall. Their backfield MUCH BETTER than that of the team that heat the Bears. So why shouldn't they be optimistic. The squad, rated at the end of the building season just closed: CFNTKRS JACK OSMKB (ISO. Al.

Triple Guard Wtptmitattv Men's Silk Hose Triple Guard wears three times longer because they're three times stronger at all points of wear! Whatever )t is, something has placed the Broncos in a very aggressive frame of mind. They intend to beat California, as they did last year, and to follow by beating Stanford.

The Bronco "twin spinners," when applied with the "defense controlled attack and fortified with the new and greatly improved back-field speed I have an idea are going to WORK. What "Clipper" has needed for a long time is speed. Now he has it. Even John Beckrich is beginning to make use of bis speed. With the touch Salatino, the fast Britschgi, the promising Vin Dowd, Dick Hannon (a transfer from Loyola) and Joe Sullivan all showing real ability at quarter, Backrich was able to shift back to left half, and there he enjoyed the best spring practice he has ever turned in.

He has fast feet this Beckrich, and now he can use them. The new speed. I should say, is item No. 1 in increased Bronco confidence. It's this that makes the boys certain their attack is going places.
