Golf Free-for-AII Seen
As Southern Women
Open Meet Today
By th# Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 12.—
Dixie’s best amateur feminine fair
way artists got down to business to
day and tried to qualify for the
thirty-third annual Southern wom
en's golf championship.
Favored to win the medal over
the 6,603-yard, par-78 Belle Meade
course was Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page
of Chapel Hill, N. C„ president of
the SWGA.
Keen competition, however, was
expected to make the race a wide
open affair. The field of 106 en
trants approached, but did not piss,
the all-time record.
In yesterday’s mixed four-ball
meet Mrs. Page paired with Jay
Ward of Nashville to win low gross
honors with a combined score of 150.
Polly Riley of Fort Worth, Tex.,
was low individual scorer yesterday
with 73.
Mary Lena Faulk, thrice winner
oi the Georgia State crown, teamed
up with Langley Granbery of Nash
ville to win the low net award with j
a total score of 143.
The 32 low shooters in today's
qualifying round will be eligible to
compete in match play, which be- j
gins tomorrow'.
Among the top contenders for the
undefended title, in addition to
those previously mentioned, are
Betty Mimms White of Dallas, Mar
garet Gunther of Memphis, Bokie
WhHaker of Winter Haven, Fla.,
and Mrs. Sam Israel of New Or- j
leans.
Louise Suggs of Lithia Springs, j
Ga., decided the other day to turn
to the play-for-pav ranks rather
than defend the Southern title she
won last year.

U. S. Men's Diving Team Finest
In Olympic Field, Coach Feels
By the Associated Pres* !
DETROIT, July 12.—The man In'
the enviable position as the United
States certified 38 of its ranking
aquatic stars today for . the 1948
Olympic Games in London was
smiling Mike Peppe of Ohio State,
coach of the men's diving squad.
For Mike's money—and none of
the estimated 9.000 fans at yes
terday's climax of the final Amer
ican trials would quarrel with him—
the United States will have the
three greatest men divers in the
world wearing Uncle Sam's colors
at Wembley.
“If there’s another diver living
who can compete with our three
versatile experts—at springboard
events or off the high platform—I
haven't heard about him,” squat
Mike declared with a comfortable
glow.
Peppe had every right to his op
timism.
Best Day Ever for Lee.
Sweeping the boards for all six
diving berths on the American
squad were the sensational little 5
foot 2-inch Army medic, Dr. iLt.)
Sammy Lee of Pasadena, Calif., and
two of Mike’s own Ohio State boys,
brilliant Bruce Harlan and Miller
Anderson.
Lee, doll-shaped high platform
ace who never had a better day at
the complicated acrobatic maneu
vers than in yesterday's final U. S.
trials, went through the complex
figures like an automation, produc
ing a point total that Peppe claimed
never was surpassed in competition.
"It's unbelievable, the way he
went through his dives without the
slightest little miss,” Peppe said.
“I’ve been waiting for a day like
that,” Sammy added. “Maybe I
could have come out of my for
ward 3’i a little cleaner, but that’s
all I could have ’asked.”
Peppe will be the most disappoint
ed man in fhe American Olympic
contingent if his three splash ar
tist don't come up 1-2-3 in the big
games.
Girls’ Diving Team Keen.
Comparatively speaking, that won't
be asking too much either, Ameri
cans swept five of the six top places
in the springboard and platform
events in the 1936 games at Berlin
and haven't been beaten for an
Olympic diving title since Eric Ad
lerz of Sweden captured the plat
form championship and Paul Gun
ther of Germany the springboard
event in the 1912 Olympic at Stock
holm.
Diving—Both men’s and women's
—will constitute the top strength
of the United States team that sets
off on its London journey this week,
the 17 women by sea and 21 men
via air.
Pretty Little Zoe Ann Olsen of
Oakland, Calif., 17-year-old spring
board stylist, and Mrs. Vicki Manolo
Draves of Los Angeles, trim 5-and
10-meter platform champions, con
stitute the one-two punch among
the feminine divers under direction
of Olympic Women’s Diving Coach
Fred Cady of the University of
Southern California.
They, and the rest of the all
California feminine diving squad,
are certain to stack up all right in
the international competition mo
nopolized for years by American
girls. j
Oarsmen Chosen by U. S. Beat
All Marks Set in '36 Olympics
By th« Avsociu. re»*
PRINCETON, N. J., July 12.—
The United States will enter an
Olympic rowing team that bettered
the 1936 Olympic winning times in
each of its seven events in the final
trials.
The team was selected officially
here Saturday night following two
weeks of trials.

represent the United States in the
big eight-oared event. America

tested since 1920. The University
of Washington, eight-oarfcl winner
in 1936, was the only American
rowing champion at the German
games.
Great Britain won the double
sculls and Germany swept the other
five events.
Other American representatives
this year:
Fours with coxswain, University
of Washington.
Fours without coxswain, Vesper
Boat Club, Philadelphia.
Pairs without coxswain, Vale.

He hasn't even decided, he
said, whether he'll vote Demo
