fHI^AKOLINATIMEi 14—N. C. SATURDAY, APRIL >7. IfM SPORTSCOOP Another Negro Golfer Performs in G60 Tourney By JOHN B. HENDERSON Most of us fpmember a Cali fornian via Charlottj?^ North CaroTina named dharlie Sif- ford who participated in the Greater Greensboro Open (G GO) at Sedgefield last year. Woll, this year another pro fessional golfer appeared in ^his money infested tourney who hails from Mississippi. His name is Pete Brown, a hard-hitting Negro golf pro fessional. Although Brown was not a big money winner in this par ticular tournament, he did claim a coveted tourn?y dis tinction. The Mississippian fired the tournament's only h')le-in- one and the Professional ‘ Gol fer's Association’s eighth ace of the year. Brown made his spectacular feat during the tourney’s open ing round. Playing out of Lo.^ Angeles, Brown hit an 8-iron on the 171-yard seventh hole, the ball landing out three foot past the pin then taking a bnok soin right back into the hoi-’. He then proceeded to birdie the next two holes. ? It was the first ace in com petition for the 27 year old profe.!sional of eight years. Charlie Farlow of Star- mount Country Club in Green- boro quipped: “The ball went on by the hole then said, “I'll just go back and go in.’ Far- Jow was a member of Browns’ threesome. Brown has not played In a tournament in two months and his best showing was a 17th place finish at Bakerfield, California, la.st fall, winning $800. Brown shot an opsning round 72 in the GGO. Johnny Griffith, the head ■football mentor at the Uni versity of Georgia, has a tre- mpndous headache. He is de- .'perately thin in the back- field. But he should not be. For he has one of the great est backs of the game on his campus. His name is Hamilton Holmes. Hjolmes, who is an honor student, has not played since he integrated the school some two years ago. » * » Eight of the top ten players picked PS all-state selection in Kentucky are Negroes. Uni versity of Kentucky head ha.sketball mentor, Adolf Rupp bad better wake up! Cincinnati and Loyola are moving into Rupp’.s domain and th*' invasion isn’t making those Thorobred sportswriters happy. Remember, the NCAA champion.'shio game was play ed in Louiseville, Ky., and eight of the ten startjrs on the Cincinnati and Loyola teams were Negroes. One can easily see why the Uniwrsity of Kentucky was watching the NCAA playoffs. ?ai) Stars Have Big Ne in NBA Championsliips BO.STON — The performance of tan stars has played a key role In the outcome of the profession al basketball world champion ships, now underway between the eastern champion Boston Celtics and the western kings, Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics had compiled a 3-2 lead in the best four of seven series at the end of Sunday night’s gam,!!. And one of the big reasons for the Celtics ad vantage had been the sparkling play of Sam Jones and Bill Ru.s- sell. Rus.sell. perhaps the greatest defensive pla,y.er In the NBA. has been the key to Boston suc cess over the past five years. He has geen responsible for get ting the rebounds for the Cel tics. a manuever that is vital to triggering the Boston fast break. Besides his importance in getting the Boston offense start- ed. Russell has become famous for his ability to act as a one man unibrella defense around the ba.sket. When Rus.;ell came to the Cri tics from San Franciso Univer sity, the feoslon teem had every Ihing it heeded to become a champion, ftxcept it couldn’t get the rebounds. Russell has solved this problem for them in ad mirable fashion. His play against Los Angeles in the first five games has been as usual-superb. Jones, a North Carolina great, has been nothing short of sensa tion so far in the series. His grept clutch shooting in the ln.«it stages helned the Celtics over- corne Cincinnati in the play-offs and 'he Durhnmits hap continued his play In the finals. Jones bigged ^7 points in one of the Cincy games to set a r.ew record for himself. He h.T? led Boston scorers in the fin.'nls against the Lakers. He got .?6 points Sunday. In addition to Jones and Rus sell, the Celtics have relied' heavily on Tom Sanders, form er NYU great, and ball hawk K. C. Jones, San Franciso. i On the Lakers side, tan stars | have also been plentiful. ThO| Los Angeles team’s offense i s virtually built ardund Bay-' lor and Jerry West. Baylor is the big man for the Lakers I He makes the shots, gets the 're bounds and sets up the plays. His the Lakers from sudden death 42 points Sunday night saved and gave them new life in the series. | Dick Barnett, a newcomer from the defunct American lea gue, has also been a boon to Los Angeles. Barnett, a Tenn essee State graduate, has added I needed scoring punch to the Los ' Angeles teams. | i Whatever the final outcome 0 f the championship series ' most basketball experts will I agree that the decision will de pend to a large extent on tlie ■ performance of one of the several Negro athletes on the twQ clubs.
