The 40-year-old expert of the five-cushion shot says "make all the easy shots. The tough ones will take care o f themselves." By RUSS NEWLAND AP Newsfeatures S\N FRANCISCO ?Personable Ray Kilgore, the world three cushion billiard champion, offers this simple advice on how to be come a title contender. "Make all the ea?v shots and ycu must be there or thereabouts in top competion. The hardest thin? in billiards is to consistent ly click on the minor shots. You knou they are easy so sometimes you let down. The tough ones will take care of themselves." Willie Hoppe. the grand old man of the sport who retired from ac tive competition after winning the three cushion diadem in 1952 for his twelfth such victory, was in the audience in Chicago when Kilgore made his final bid for the 1953 title. It was the last match of the tournament. Gilgore had to win this one or fall into a three-way tie for first place. His opponent was the Ar gentine champion and odds-on. favorite to succeed the great Hoppe ?Ezequiel (Zekei Navarra. Hoppe leaned over to a fellow spectator and said: "Kay Kilgore is the finest five cushion bank shot maker in the world.'' The count was 49?48. Kilgore ahead. Navarra had just played a tight safety, leaving his rival with what appeared to be an impossi ble shot. Kilgore studied the set-up. He railed a' five cushion bank. The ball~zipped around the table, hit ting five rails before cudjHing up to the object balls. The point that won a world championship had been made. i "It was the tensest moment of my life," Kilgore recalls.
