LUBBOCK. TEXAS. FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1938 Fires Final 65 To Win Western Open For Third Time In Row Record And Par Are Busted By Open Champ By WHITNEY MARTIN (Associated Press Sports Writer) LOUIS, June 16. The greatest finisher In golf painted his masterpiece today as big Ralph Guldahl left a birdie and eagle trail the final 18 holes for a slx- under-par 65, a 4-round total of 278 and his third straight Western Open championship. Par, tradition and the spirit of his rivals were shattered as the big Madison, N.

pro methodically tore to shreds a course which for the first two rounds of the tournament had successfully withstood every assault. Five Under Par It is first time in the 38-year history of the Western Open a player won three years in a row. Guldahl's 279, five strokes under par, Is a fitting companion to his 284 registered in winning his second consecutive National open crown last week, when he stroked out a 69 on his final round. And as he chipped in an 18-foot shot from off the green for a birdie on the final hole and his 05, the big gallery roared acclaim. Pressed from the start by a choice assortment of sharp-shooters, Guldahl would shake free from one threat, only to have another storm Into sight.

He held a slim one-stroke lead at the end of the first 18 Tuesday by virtue of his par 71. Lanky Ray Mangrum of Dayton. Ohio, crept into a tie at the 30-hole mark by registering his second straight 72 as Guldahl slipped to a 73. Snead Comes Forward Mangrum couldn't stand the pace today but Sam Snead, the sturdy West Virginian, blasted out a GO to replace Mangrum in a tie with ths champion at the three-quarter mark 214. Guldahl had a 70 for the third round.

Then came the payoff round, with Snead wilting under the pressure. The champion was out in 34, one under par. On the home nine birdies and eagles fairly dripped from his clubs. On the twelfth he sank a 12-foot putt for birdie. On the 13th he sank a 40-footer for an eagle, on the 14th he dropped a four-footer for a birdie, and he climaxed the performance with his chip on the iast hole.

Only on the eighth hole did he go over perfect figures. The pressure manifested Itself In Snead's putter. Time after time he muffed chances for birdies by blowing long or short putts. He finished with a 72 and a 286 total, In second place. Par, a bear for two days, was a 2amb as the field turned In a choice assortment of sizzling rounds, but they came too late.

Even Jimmy Thomson's ace this afternoon was just another fine shot, although It helped to a 292 and a tie for fourth with Leonard Dodson of Springfield, MO. Toney Penna of Dayton, Ohio, came in with a 67 for the las! round which brought his total to 289, good for third place. Mrs. Hill Defeats Berg In Western COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo June 16. A great "clinch" putt 20 feet along a sldehlll on Broadmoor's deceptive first green, earned Mrs.

Opal S. Hill. Kansas City veteran, a 1 up, 19 hole, victory over freckled Patty in the women's Western Open golf tournament this afternoon. Beatrice Barrett of Minneapolis 22-year-old Helen Hoffman and Texas' Babe Didrikson, professional from Beaumont, followed Mrs. Hill into the semi-finals.

Miss Barrett shot one under par of the day to defeat Shirley Ann Johnson, Chicago, 1 up. Miss Hoffmann, former tah champion, finished strongly for a 2 and 1 win over Bernlce Wall, Chicago. Miss Didrikson outshot Colorado's lone contender, Phyllis Buchanan, state champion from Denver, 3 and 1. Wink Spudders Win 10-2 From Lubbock Hubbers (Bpteltl AnUnchi) WINK, June 18. The Wink Spudders, taking advantage of Lefty Jerry Blanchard's wlldneM and nicking: the big southpaw for ten safe bingles, defeated the Hubbers from Lubboek here, tonight, 10-2, thus breaking the West Texas-New Mexico league leader's -winning streak at six games.

The Hubber tallies came In the seventh when Joe Gedzius polled out a homer over the left field fence for the only extra base hit of the game, and scored Manager Hack Miller who had been safe on a fielder's choice that had forced Watklns at second. Hay 'Em Big Red Hay pitched a great game for Wink, giving up five hits and walking two men. He struck out eight. His hits were well scattered over the game. -The Spudders pushed over one run in the third, counted three times in the fourth on four walks, an error and a single.

A collection of track and field stars regarded as strong enough to carry Olympic colors will fight it out for Individual and team honors in the National Intercollegiate meet tomorrow and Saturday at the University or Minnesota. Authority for a statement that a team picked from the field "would have better than an even chance" of winning an Olympic meet Is Lawson Robertson, Pennsylvania track and field technician who coached the United States Olympic team in 1028 and 1932.

The meet has the greatest number of individuals entered in the history of the event, more than 300 athletes from some 80 colleges and universities. Seven champions and two co- title holders in the individual events are again entered in the big meet in which a powerful delegation from Southern California will be bidding for a fourth straight team championship. TWO RED RAIDERS THERE Texas Tech is represented todny nnd tomorrow at the National Intercollegiate track and field meet by a couple of its prize performers, John Case in the half mile, mile and two-mile events, and Marsh Farmer in the hurdles. Case, Farmer and Coach Berl Huffman left Tuesday for Minneapolis and the longest trip ever made by a Tech track "team." Prom Minneapolis, Case will proceed to Buffalo, N. to compete in the National A.

Plenty of difference if you get what I mean."

Maxie, Joe Have Experts Dizzy On The Ropes By ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, June 16. The closer they get to the fistic festivities the dizzier the sports experts are becoming in the attempt to decide whether champion Joe Louis will turn the tables on Max Schmellng, next Wednesday night, or again take it on the chin from the German challenger for the world heavyweight crown.

Not since the seco'hd Dempsey- Tunney bout in Chicago has opinion in critical circles been more sharply divided or as uncertain. Dempsey, the challenger, finally went into the ring in 1927 a slight favorite, despite the decisive licking he took from Tunney the previous year. "Wise Money" On Joe Again the beaten man. Louis, has been given the favorite's role, though for somewhat different reasons. In Demosey's case, sentiment combined with the Old Mauler's punch to make him the public choice.

The so-called "wise money" now backing Louis seems convinced that the champion's youth, plus his punch and the law of averages, will prove too much for Schmeling. Today, along cauliflower alley, as the advance ticket sale hurdled the $500,000 mark, you could hear the verbal conflict, it went something like this, as sports writers, fight managers and hangers-on haggled: "Louis will come out rushing and finish him quick." "If Joe opens up early he will get his brains knocked out again by Max's right hand." "The longer the fight goes on thn better the champion's chances will be he can afford to bide his time he will outbox Max easily that left Jab of his will wear Schmellng down." "Schmeling has always been a slow starter; the longer the fight goes, the stronger and tougher he will be Says Max Is Worried "Louis Is worried about Max' right hand notice how shuts his eyes every time he's tagged by a spurring partner? Max will havo the psychological edge, right from the start "Joe regards that last fight as just an accident got just one Idea in he won't make make any mistakes this time "Schmeling Is worried, realizing he was lucky to have everything break right for him the last time I hear he's up late nights, taking long walks to ease his nerves "Max never had a. worry in his life he's the coolest man that ever stepped into a ring and one of the most methodical he will take Joe when he gets ready Dr. L. A.

Woods Is Speaker In City Speaking on "School Finance," Dr. L. A. Woods, state superintendent of public instruction. Thursday night in Hilton hotel ballroom outlined a program Initiated the past six years in education.

Tn that time, he said, there had been notable equalization in opportunities of rural and city schools students, an attainment made possible by the rural aid bill. The amount of money appropriated by the legislature was insufficient to pay the bill for the program this year. The state auditor reported 911-2 per cent transportation of students will be paid, 69 per cent teacher salary paid, but there has been no determination of what per cent high school tuition will be paid, he explained. The superintendent devoted much of his address to explaining necessity for enforcing of legislation regarding attendance at school of the neglected child, explaining his administration had extended facilities but that more state support was needed, either through equalization funds or an increased state apportionment, or both. Dr.

Woods will speak at 9 o'clock this morning at Post then will visit in the Abilene area through Sunday. BARGAIN FOR MEN!

Special sections in the grandstand will be reserved to accommodate the many colored fans in Juneteenth best celebration. Always some of the best supporters of the local professional nine the dusky folks are expected to fill the park. According to Charles Sedberry, manager of the Black Hubbers, Hollis Payne and his boys wiU be in lor a lot of trouble when they try to tally their seventh win against one defeat for the current season.

The "Old Hubbers" This same semi-pro nine is the one that represented the Hub city last season with a bit of strengthening in the few weak spots. In the second game of the doubleheader the Hubbers will meet the strong Sweetwater Independents managed by O. O. Hollingsworth. Rated as one of the strongest nonprofessional organization in this section of the state this Sweetwater club may be the second or third to defeat the locals.

Previous plans had been to match the Black Hubbers with the traveling professional "African clowns" but at the last moment the game fell through. According to the lor.al manager the Africans may be booked for a later date as soon as the lights are installed. Here's Colored Lineup According to information frori Scdberry the Black Hubbers have on6 of the strongest units in this country. It seems the San Angclo club who burned up these parts last season was supposed to repeat but recently ran into unexpected strength when they played Odessa.
