NEW YORK (IP) The talk among members of the
golf fraternity as they pi’epare for the U. S. Open at Bai
tusrol June 17-19 is all Ben Hogan and Sam Snead but
don’t be too surprised if it turns out to be one of the many
newcomers hitting the fairway jackpot.
This thought was put into words by Earl Stewart,
the loquacious red-head out of Texas, during the recent
Palm Beach Round-Robin when he said flatly:
“I don’t think either Hogan or Snead will win it. My
guesss is that it will be somebody you never heard of.”
The odds are prohibitive against a complete unknown
marching up-to the payoff window in the “big one,” but
It could be almost any one of some 20 professionals and
possibly such a one as Bantam Bob Toski, out of North
ampton, Mass. ~
You’ll be hearing a lot about this little man with the
big grin in the next few years, for Toski proved this win- •
ter that he finally had found the touch on the tough pro ;
circuit by winning such as the Havana, Baton Rouge and
Wilmington opens.
. Ryder Cup Berth?
That makes him the leader among those striving for
Ryder Cup points and he already has banked a fat total
of $12,000 this year. It went almost unnoticed in Snead’s
magnificient victory in the Palm Beach, but this same 27-
year-old Toski, who now plays out of the Cedar Hill Club
in Livingston, N. J., finished a fine second.
The five-foot, eight-inch slugger could credit his suc
cess to marriage, for since he became a bridegroom in De
cember he has been playing like a giant. Two years ago
at Ardmore, Qkla., he almost ruined his career when he
did a jack-knife off the high board at the club swimming
pool and injured his back. There will be no more such hi
jinks.
“I’ve even put on weight," delightedly smiles the tiny
man who used to play at 124 pounds. “Why, I weigh 130
pounds now.”
But he hits the ball like a man who weighs 230.
“It’s probably due to .more confidence,” he explains.
“I’m hitting the ball 25 yards longer now than when I
first started on the tour. Os course, I’ve had to take a long
er backswing and, generate more clubheati speed.”
Brothers Encourage Him
Little Bob credits his two brothers, Jack and Ben,
both of them home club pros who don’t make the circuit,
with “making!’ him.
“It’s tough getting started in competitive golf,” he
explains. “They figured I had the game, despite my small
size, and they bankrolled me. Let me tell you, it’s a rough
racket physically, but it’s even rougher when you have
to worry about finances.”
Toski proved how far he had come in winning the
Wilmington Open. He hardly remembers the final round
and was so sick with a virus fever that he hardly could
play the last three holes. But he finished grimly and

Coach Dale Ramon told a- Daily
Tar Heel reporter: “JUst aay 1 we

Determined they were, and they
; also carried along some pretty fair

room when he hurled the Javelin

conquest. Roger Morris has done
better but he had no trouble win
ning in the discuss, with a neat
little toss of better than 150 feet.
Boyd Newman, the team’s Cinderel

880 for the other Tar Heelsfirst
place. _ **•
The Tar Heels were edged by. Ma

That’s the kind of challengers, young comers such as
Toski, whom Hogan and Snead will have to beat off at
