Nelson Ousts Amateur Star
in Upset—Runyan, Dutra
Lose in Open Meet.
BY RUSSELL NEWLAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
AN FRANCISCO. January 26.—
Three national golf champions ;
passed out of the picture today !
in a series of upsets never be
fore equaled in the five-year history
of the San Francisco match play open
tournament.
America's greatest amateur links
man. Lawson Little, British and na
tional title holder, succumbed, 5 and 4,
to the superior and uncanny stroking
of Byron Nelson, a 22-year-old Texan
never before a threat in the major
tournament season. Little went down
fighting against a first-round com
petitor who matched him in every
way, from booming drives to deadly
work on the greens.
Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y..
who rules the Professional Golfers’
Association ranks, joined those on the
sidelines through a 2-and-l defeat
from Harry Cooper of Chicago, a stern
opponent in any fairway competition.
Clark Ousts Dutra.
MORE reversals came in the sec
ond round. Olin Dutra. wear
er of the national open crown,
fell before the fairway artistry of
Clarence Clark. Blomfield, N. J., not
of high ranking in the matter of ma
jor tournament victories. The score
was 2 and 1.
Lady Luck smiled on Clark. His
approach to the seventeenth green hit
a woman spectator. Instead of rocket
ing out of bounds, the ball caromed
to the green. Clark tanked the putt
to win the match.
The first opening round upset saw
A1 Zimmerman, Portland, Oreg., de
lcai diiimi) viv.i,
Island, tournament medalist, with a
142 for 36 holes, on the twentieth
green.
Zimmerman's tenure was short lived.
He was defeated by Ky Laffoon, Chi
cago, 3 and 2, in the second round.
Laffoon had beaten Sam Parks, jr.,
Pittsburgh, 1 up. in the first match.
Picard Takes Two.
HENRY PICARD of Hershey, Pa.,
defeated Jim Demaret, Galves
ton. 2 and 1. in the first round
and disposed of Dick Metz, Chicago,
by the same score in the second 18.
Nelson, after his spectacular win
over the amateur champion. Little,
went on to beat Victor Ghezzi, Deal,
N. J., 4 and 3, in the second round.
Harold McSpaden of Kansas City,
Kans., entered tomorrow's quarter
finals with a 2-up win over Jim Fo
garty. Kirkwood. Mo., in the morning,
and a 4-and-3 defeat of Ben Loving.
Petersburg. Va„ in the second session !
Clark trimmed Dutra after beating !
Floyd Farley, Oklahoma City. 1 up.
and Cooper followed up his unexpected
win over Runyan with an equally sur
prising upset of Gene Sarazen. Brook
field. Conn., star, still considered the
outstanding "money player" of the
game.
Thomson. Revolta Advance.
THE quarter-finals delegation in
cluded Jimmy Thomson, Long
Beach, Calif., and Johnny Re
volta, Milwaukee.
Thomson won from Johnny Perelli,
Tahoe, Calif., 1 up. in the first round
and walloped Bill Jelliffe. Los Angeles,
6 and 5, in the next, Revolta elimi
nated the amateur star, Johnny Daw
son of Chicago, 2 and 1, in the second
round after taking the measure of
Mark Fry, Oakland, 6 and 5.
Dawson helped in his own defeat by
knocking Revolta's ball into the cup
on the sevententh hole. The latter's
ball was 4 feet away from the pin at
the time.
Nelson Drives Far.
IN THE list of upendings none im
pressed the spectators so much as
that which saw Little bow out,
beaten by straight par golf and a
smaller rival who banged out drives
that left the crowd gasping.
On his home course coholder of the
local record of 67 and considered vir
tually unbeatable. Little's longest
smashes seldom outdistanced^those of
the youth from the little town on the
Texas-Arkansas border.
Nelson is the youngest player in the
tournament, a year younger than the
university boy he beat today. He
turned professional three years ago.
married less than six months ago, and
is making the present tour his honey
moon.
Little's putter failed him. He three
putted three greens. Nelson held a
3-up advantage at the end of the
ninth. For the 14 holes played the
Texan was 2 under par. Little used
a 39. 3 over par. for the first nine, and
was even the rest of the way.
Strong With Putter.
NELSON clung to his lead by one
putting five greens. The elev
enth was a heart-breaker for
the amateur champ. Nelson sank an
8-foot putt for an eagle 3 and Little
missed a 6-footer for the half.
In continuing his march toward the
major slice of the $4,000 purse. Nelson
built up a 3-up lead over Ghezzi at
the ninth hole of the second-round
tut.
Cooper’s victory over the stocky
Sarazen was helped through a freak
shot on the sixth hole. On the green,
Sarazen’s ball was beyond the hole.
Cooper putte'd boldly. His ball hit
Sarazen’s and bounced back into the
cup for a birdie 3 that put him 1 up,
a lead he retained throughout the rest
of the match.
Tomorrow's quarter-finals pairings:
Laffoor. vs. Picard. Nelson vs. Mc
Spaden. Clark vs. Thomson, Cooper vs.
Revolts.
TILDEN BEATS LOTT.
CHICAGO. January 26 (jp).—Wil

LED by Don Gibeau. flashy
French forward, Georgetown's
basket ball quint staved off a
last quarter rally to defeat the
towering Tartans of Carnegie Tech,
34-30. and advance to a third-place
tie with Temple In the Eastern Inter
collegiate Conference last night at
McKinley High School before 800
fans.
Gibeau amassed six field goals and
five foul tosses for a total of 17 points.
Apparently concentrating their de
fense on Capt. Ed Hargaden, the Tar
tans found Gibeau swishing the net
from all angles of the floor to send
the Hcyas into a 22-12 half-time lead.
Gibeau scored 13 points in the first
half and played a fine floor game to
boot.
Hargaden, leading conference scorer,
was held to four points by the Plaid,
but directed the Hilltoppers in flaw
less fashion throughout the fray.
GOING into the last 10 minutes of
play with a 31-15 lead, George
town was unable to check Car
negie Tach and found its advantage
whittled to 34-26 with less than three
minutes remaining. Maurice Patt and
Simon Felser contributed to the Car
negie cause with a brace of field goals
to bring the count to 34-30 as the
game ended.
Felser, Tartan forward, kept the
Plaid in the thick of the fight by tal
lying four field goals and a free toss.
Chubby Pr.rcells, Hoya center, sur
prised the fans by holding Charlie
Fitzwilson and Hugh James scoreless,
while sinking three field goals. Fitz
wilson, the regular tap-off man. stands
6 feet 5 inches, while James is 2
inches taller.
Height Proves Costly.
JAMES' height, however, proved his
undoing m one instance, for Ref
eree Menton awarded Parcelis a
field goal as James slapped the net
when one of Parceli s shots w as head
ing for the basket.

j the Eastern eleven on top.
The tussel will terminate the play

Boston Garden.
Cunningham was timed in 4:16 2-5,
I the third fastest mile ever run In

The Kansan, who won an easy
three-quarters of a mile race at Buf
falo last night, permitted Venzke to
set the pace until they reached the
back stretch on the second last lap,
when his smooth spurt carried him
into the lead, seemingly without any
effort.
Cunningham did not show his ter
| rifle speed until he made his final
I ’’lift,” a half lap from the tape. When
! he put on the pressure, he fairly drew
away from the laboring Venzke.
Bill Ray of Manhattan started off
in third place and finished in that
position, far ahead of the other sur
t vivor, Glen Dawson of Tulsa, Okla.
! Frank Crowley of the New York A. C.

NAVY 6ASKETERS
END PENN STREAK
Borries Stars as Middies
Take Bristling Court
Battle, 27-22.
'
By the Associated Press.
Philadelphia, January 26 —
Navy's basket ball team broke
Pennsylvania’s winning streak
that had reached seven straight
| by defeating the Quakers, 17 to 22,
I tonight.
I Fred Borries, Navy center, led in
the Navy's attack, outplaying Penn's
j tall center and captain, Bob Free
' man, and racking up 10 valuable
points before he was sent from the
floor for four personal fouls late in
the second half.
Sharing the limelight with Borries
was Bob Dornin, Navy forward. Held
to one point in the first half, he came
through with a field goal in the sec
ond half that broke a 19-to-19 tie
and scored another 2-pointer to make
it 27-22 just before the bristling game
ended.
Penn played well at the start, but
j a late rally by Navy put the score to
j 11 to 10 in Penn's favor at the end
1 of the first half. Penn appeared
! lost except for a brief flurry in the
last chapter.
The Quakers were sadly off form
from the 15-foot mark, converting
but 4 out of 14 tries. In the first
half, they took at least 30 shots for
the basket with but 4 finding their
way In.
Murray. Penn’s left guard, was
weak on fouls, missing five in a row
in the second half when points were
badly needed.
Navy’s accuracy from the foul
mark wasn't much better, for it con
verted only 5 out of 12. But when
the visitors took shots for the cord,
they rarely missed. Navy arched in 11
field goals as compared to Penn’s 9.

Germans Will Offer Baer $300,000 to Meet
Schmeling if Teuton Is Victor Over Hamas
By the Associeted Press.
NEW YORK. January 26.—Max
Baer can collect up to $300,
000 to defend his heavyweight
title in Germany if the Black
Uhlan, Max Schmeling. succeeds in
turning the tables on Steve Hamas in
their return match at Hamburg,
March 10.
Fred Kirsch, German sports promo
ter. said here today the Hitler gov
ernment is keen to have Baer fight
Schmeling abroad and is willing to
spend a fortune to bring the fight
about provided Schmeling triumphs
at Hamburg.
•'Some weeks ago we felt out Baer,
offering him $150,000 to meet Schmel
ing,” Kirsch said. “He laughed at us
and said his price was $500,000. That
' is out of the question, but if Schmel
ing beats Hamas we'll make another
bid up to $300,000 and we believe he
will accept."
Kirsch, who is assisting Walter
Rothenberg in staging the Hamas
Schmeling show, said arrangements
had been made to deposit the Penn
sylvanian's guarantee—$25.000—in a
Paris bank by February 1. thus remov
ing the last obstacle to the bout.
It had been feared, mostly by Squire
Charlie Harvey. Hamas' manager, that
I the money would not be forthcoming.
1 since the German government usually
prohibits the shipment of such large
sums from the country.
However. Chancellor Hitler considers
the fight good propaganda for Ger
| many and has consented that Hamas'
end of the purse be posted in Paris.
Kirseh and Harvey conferred today j
and the latter was assured he will get I
an even break from the officials at'
Hamburg.
‘If Hamas wins he will get the de
cision. all right." Kirseh said. "The
fight is so important to the German
government that it will step in and re
verse the decision if it is not fair and
impartial.”
Jimmy Bronson, who handles Wal
ter Neusel. another German heavy
weight. said today Baer has agreed, to
mingle with Neusel in a 10-round, no
decision exhibition at Chicago in
March under the auspices of Jim Mul
len and Nate Lewis.
Neusel will sail for the States imme
diately after his fight with Jack Peter
i son, February 4. in London.

in Second Place.
Bt the Assoeisted Press.
ICHMOND, Va., January 26.—
Ida Simmons of Norfolk to
night won the Dixie duckpln
sweepstakes for women here,
rolling 1.119 for the nine games, a
new world record for women.
Next to her. with 1,071. was Lor
raine Gulli of Washington, No. 1

For the first time in the history of
the event all money winners rolled
better than 1,000.
Shoots Set of 416.
MISS SIMMONS was far behind
after the first set, but pulled
up to a three-pin lead after
the late afternoon session at the John
Marshall alleys. The first game at
Tiny Town last night saw that lead
swept away, but in the eighth game
Miss Gulli slipped to a poor 98 and
Miss Simmons' 122 gave her a 24-pin
lead.
Miss Gulli's final game of 92, one
of her worst in the history of the
event she has won twice, saw that
Simmons' lead lengthened to 48 pins,
the margin of victory.
The high game of the day was
rolled by Miss Simmons—a 157 that
put her out front. The second high
game was a 155 by Katherin Vick,
also of Norfolk. Miss Simmons also
was the only bowler to roll better than
a 400 set. She rolled 416 in the late
afternoon matches at John Marshall.

Lateral Pass Rule Change Apt to Be Urged
By Coaches at Annual Grid Code Sessions
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 26.—
Members of the Rules Com
mittee of the American Foot
Ball Coaches Association will
gather here next Saturday to decide
just what changes, if any, in the
playing code they should recommend
to the National Rules Committee,
slated to meet three weeks hence.
Lou Little of Columbia, chairman
of the coaches committee, said to
night that 20 or more coaches from
the East, South, Middle West and
possibly the Far West would attend
the meeting and give due considera
tion to the series of rules changes
suggested during the December foot
ball meetings.
Little pointed out that, in the main,
the coaches favor letting the rules
stand as they are, but added there
was a strong possibility that some
changes in the regulations govern
ing the use of the lateral pass would
be recommended.
Under tpe present rufe* H a com*
pleted forward pass, or a run. is
followed by an attempted lateral
which Inadvertently goes forward, the
ball goes back to the point where
the play originated and the offensive
team loses a down. Many coaches
feel that this is an excessive penalty
and that the ball should be declared
dead at the point where the at
tempted lateral was thrown.
"It is my personal opinion,” said
Little, “that in such cases the ball
should be declared dead at the point
where the lateral was thrown and
that some penalty should then be
exacted at that spot. An accidental
forward pass where a lateral was in
tended should not cost the offensive
team all the yardage gained on play
otherwise perfectly executed.
"In our game with Syracuse, for
instance, one of our backs got loose
for 20 yards, then tossed a lateral
good for 10 more, but the next lateral
was declared a forward and we lost
all the gain we had made on the run
and the first lateral.”
Little said that virtually all the
- other changes suggested at the asso
ciation's annual meetings probably
would come before the committee, in
cluding proposals that the goal posts
be placed on the goal line again
and that forward passing be per
mitted at any point behind the line
of scrimmage. Doubt was expressed,
however, that any of these other al
j terations would be approved.
After next week's meeting. Little,
W. A. Alexander of Georgia Teth
and Noble Kizer of Purdue will carry
the recommendations to the National
Rules Committee. They represent the
coaches as advisory members of the
Rules Committee.
Among those expected to attend the
Coaches' Committee meeting are Jock
Sutherland of Pittsburgh, Andy Kerr
of Colgate. Little. Kizer, Alexander.
Ted Cox of Tulane. Harry Mehre of
Georgia, Harry Kipke. Michigan:
Bennie Bierman. Minnesota: Francis
Schmidt, Ohio State: Fritz Crisler,
Princeton: Harvey Harman, Penn;
Gar Davidson, Army, and Tum Me
Laughry, Brown.
