68 Leads Pros By HUGH FUM FRTnv id By HUGH FULLERTON JR. AUGUSTA, Ga. if) Sam Snead, a relaxed and mighty man on this big golf course, 8 four-under-par 68 over an Augusta National Friday and took the halfway lead at 140 in the 21st and biggest Masters Tournament. And Jimmy Demaret, the only other player ever to win the Masters three times, threatened him from two strokes behind as de fending champion Jackie Burke his early lead. The greatest shock to the big Masters galleries came when Ben Hogan, twice Masters winner and once regarded as virtually invincible here, failed even to qualify for the last 36 holes.

151 was good at the time, but when Henry Ransom, British Opel champion Peter Thomson and finally, former U.S. amateur champion Sammy Urzet- ta came in with scores under 150, Hogan was knocked out. Exactly 40 players with scores of 150 or better made the grade. Open champion Cary Middlecoff, who won here two years ago, missed out with 152, but that was a lesser surprise. Snead and Demaret, each shoot- i ing for an unprecedented fourth Masters victory, made the stand- ings and scores look more natural, after the second day of this I weather plagued tournament.

Morning rains, which drenched the course and softened the greens were a big contributing factor in; the scoring. Snead called big, threatening Augusta National and Demaret termed it a under playing ticms. So at the 36 hole turning point it was Snead and De maret at the head of the list. Burke, Texas buddy and business associate who won both the Masters and the PGA championship last year, slid back to third place with a par 72 for 143 after leading the pack with a 71 Thursday. Some other golf greats, notably Open champion Cary Middlecoff, find Augusta National exactly easy.

73 Friday was just one over the par of for the broad, course. But he took a 79 in wind and his 152 total good enough to qualify for the final 36 holes. For the first time this year the Masters field, which had reached a record size of 101 starters, was trimmed to the low 40 and ties at the halfway mark. results were something of a triumph for the experienced old guard of this testing tournament. Snead is 45, but says he feel old.

Grandpa Demaret likes to knock a couple years off his record-book age of almost 47. Burke, a youthful 34, has been playing in the Masters for several years, and Furgol is making his eighth appearance in the tournament. They all knew how to make the most of the greens and how to putt on the big and comparatively slow surfaces. After torrential thunderstorms this morning, the greens were soft and it was possible to make an iron shot stop dead. There much wind.

Gallery magnet Sambo, picking up spectators as word of his score got around, must have had 5,000 watching him at the 18th green. SNEAD Catches Fire.

Minner Released Peppering the favored home town boy almost at will with stinging jabs and vicious right hands, Anthony first floored the 27-year- old Spieser in the second round. The bell saved him from an almost-certain knockout that time. A straight right hand followed I by a well-placed left hook put Spieser on canvas to stay in the next round. Anthony, 22, was such a decided underdog that there was practically no wagering on the nationally televi.sed fight. But the clever former Olympic battler, w'ho now has won seven in a row, never left the issue in doubt.

Shuman Twins, Hletiger Honored At NWU Banquet Two Nebraska Wesleyan University sports greats of the 1933-36 era and a pre-theological student who was a mainstay football tackle on the 1956 team were honored Friday night at the Wesleyan all-sports banquet.

Gordon Metzger, Lincoln senior, w'as named winner of the 1956-57 Blue Key sportsmanship award. It is presented annually to the Wesleyan athlete who demonstrates a high degree of interest in athletics and exempliary attitude and conduct on and off the playing field. Rodney and Ronald Shuman, Lincoln twins and former Wesleyan stars in three sports, were recognized as honor alumni athletes of the year. The two Shumans each lettered four times in track, football and basketball. Each still holds a Wesleyan track record.

Bemie Bierman, former all-time great football coach at the University of Minnesota, delivered the main address at the banquet. Bierman spoke of the benefits of physical education and athletics with regards to activities in later life and tossed in frequent comments pertaining to former Minnesota and University of Nebraska football games. The retired coach, who directed the Golden Gophers of Minnesota to national gridiron prominence from 1932 to 1940 and again from 1945 to 1950 said, athletics and physical education one can learn the importance of winning and losing successfully and thus be better prepared for all future He also added a few humorous sidelights on Bierman coaching profession and methods which are used to keep a team or players at all times. Metzger is a two-letter winner in football and has served the past year as president of Kappa Chi, organization for students who plan full-time church work as a career. The 187-pound, 22- year-old senior worked up through the ranks to take over a starting post on the Wesleyan football team at the close of the 1956 season.

The Shuman twins played on some of the better Wesleyan football and basketball teams and together accounted for three Wesleyan track records that still stand. They co-captained the Wesleyan basketball team in 1935-36 when the Plainsmen won their conference title with a 13-3 mark. Norman Schwenk, president of Blue Key, presented the award to Metzger. M. E.

Sederberg, director of athletics at Wesleyan, presided over the recognition services for the Shumans. LEMON GETS 3 LETTERS AS ATHLETES HONORED Sixty-seven Nebraska Wesleyan honored.

It was the first time Spieser ever has been knocked out, and only the second time in his 25- fight career that he has been off his feet.

This was 23rd knockout and 30th victory in 34 professional fights. For Spieser, it was his fifth loss against 19 victories and one draw. The bout was scored on the five- point must system, and when Anthony brought it to a quick end he was leading on the cards of all three officials. knew I could do it, I knew I shouted the jubilant Anthony on the way to his dressing room.
