AFTER SNOW AND HAIL POSTPONE PLAY .
Crosby Field Seeking Break
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., Jan.
22 (AP).—You can’t play golf
in the snow, so the $50,000 Bing
Croiby National Pro-Amateur
tournament still wasn’t finished
today as the final-round con
testants hoped to complete their
last 18 holes.
Usually the leader after four
days here pockets a $5,300
check, but not Joe Campbell.
He led with a six-under-par
210 through 54 holes and then
took an enforced rest as “casual
hard water” at Pebble Beach
yesterday brought a one-day
postponement.
Hail and snow, unheard of
previously in the 25-year his
tory bf Crosby’s golf production,
fell in abundance.
Npt Like Postmen
A temporary halt in the fall
found crews working to push
the snow off the green so play
could continue. As professionals
Art Wall and Jerry Barber, plus
amateurs Alvin Dark and Arne
Boscacci waited an hour to
start, the first green was nearly
cleared. Then snow started fall-1
ing again.
Gardner Dickinson watched
it bury his golf ball on the first
fairway before tournament of
ficials decided players weren’t
like postmen, whose appointed
rounds aren’t stayed by rain,
snow or sleet.

Hawks' Drive
Poses Threat
To Pistons
By the Associated Press
If the St. Louis Hawks, de-
I fending Western Division cham
pions, hope to qualify for the
National Basketball Association
playoffs, this is the time for
. them to move.
The Hawks had a winning
week end, defeating the New
[York Knicks, 124-113, yester
day after posting an 116-112
victory over the Chicago Pack
ers Saturday night. St. Louis,
in fourth place, thus climbed
to within 3>/ 2 games of the
third-place Detroit Pistons.
In other games yesterday,
Detroit turned back Boston, the
Eastern Division pacesetter, 124-
120, the Philadelphia Warriors
whipped the Syracuse Nats,
139-132, in overtime and the
Los Angeles Lakers nipped Chi
cago, 112-111, in another extra
period game.
St. Louis produced a balanced
scoring attack in extending its
victory streak to three games.
Bob Pettit was limited to 14
points, but Cliff Hagan, ailing
part of, the season with a bad
back, and Len Wilkens, on
week-end leave from the Army,
took up the slack. Hagan col
lected 26 points and Wilkens
contributed 23.
Pettit hurt his leg pulling
down a rebound early in the
fourth period and sat out the
rest of the game. The injury
did not appear to be serious.
Richie Guerin’s 29 points
were high for the Knicks, who
trailed most of the way.
Gene Shue’s fine shooting
display ignited the Pistons in
the early going and Detroit
withstood a late surge by Bos
ton to hand the Celtics only
their second setback in 17
home games. Shue scored 14
of his 30 points in the opening
period as the Pistons assumed
a 37-26 lead. A 43-point out
burst by Tommy Heinsohn kept
the Celtics in contention.
Wilt Chamberlain connected
for 62 points in Philadelphia’s
overtime conquest of Syracuse,
the 30th time this season that
the league’s scoring leader has
hit for 50 or more points. A
pair of free throws by the 7-
foot-1 ace with 28 seconds to
play in regulation time sent
the game into the extra period.
Al Attles and York Larese
then took over for the Warriors
and clicked for 11 straight
points between them to decide
the outcome. Hal Greer topped
thie Nats, who lost their third
straight after winning seven in
a row, with 44 points.
Beatty Awaits New Shot at Record
After Victory in Slow Mile at L. A.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22 (AP).
—Diminutive Jim Beatty, still
chasing indoor track’s first
four-minute mile, will get a
new shot at the mark February
10 in Los Angeles against
competition virtually as tough
as Michel Jazy of France.
“The first half was slower
than we expected,” Beatty said
in explaining why he and Jazy
ran “only” 4:04.8 Saturday in
the Los Angeles invitational in
door meet.
Thanks to a longer lunge at
the tape, Beatty won from the
French linotype operator by
two inches, though each had
the same time in the highlight
event of a star-studded meet.
Duel at Finish
The fractional times 61.5,
2:05.0, 3:o7.4—testify to the
brilliant duel the pair waged in
the final quarter-mile after a
slow start. Oecidental’s Leroy
Neal, the former nations'
junior college 880 record hold
er, was counted on to lead the
field through a 2:00 half-mile,
but he couldn’t force the pace.
, So Beatty took the lead
through the middle of the race
until Keith Forman of Oregon

Maryland’s basketball team,

There is a growing suspicion
that Millikan probably would

closer to home.
The Terps on trips have fallen
flatter than a British heavy

That gave Maryland a 3-5

Maryland’s backboard de

All of this more than nullified
the Terps’ more accurate
