PAGE FOUR Today'* » Sjpoi'ift I’arade By JACK CUDD i United Press Sports Writer RICHMOND, Va. (IP A trio of traveling salesmen and a college boy from Tennessee cut it up today on the rolling green acres of the James River course in the 36- hole semi-finals of the 'U. S. Amateur golf championship. They are four distinctly different types. One is Harvie Ward, a charming, handsome 29-year cld to whom life is just a bowl of golf balls. Another is Billy Hyndman, a pleasant but withdraw ing tournament veteran from the ritzy Philadelphia Main Line. He will meet thin, dark featured Hillman Robbins, a silent shot-maker from Memphis. And facing Ward is Billy Booe, who doesn’t believe any of it, anyhow, as he walks dazedly through a dream world. " WARD TOP FAVORITE Ward is the big favorite to add this one to the Brit ish Amateur crown he copped in 1952. A fairway hot-shot since his teens, the young man from Tarboro, N. C., now sells automobiles in San Francisco. Harvey has been terrific off the tees for a long time. Playing in the Masters as long as seven years ago, he was getting ready for a practice round when Jimmy Dcmare told Ben Hogan Byron Nelson: “I don’t like the partners you’ve been dredging up for me. I’ll take this kid." Harvey shot a 31 on the front nine and the pros al most fell over. Hyndman, a 39-year-old insurance, was a semi-final ist in 1953. He has been playing for years and is a tough competitor the few times he hits the circuit, winning such asthe 1954 North-South Amateur. ROBBINS CARY’S PROTEGE Robbins, 23. won the 1954 intercollegiate champion ship for Memphis State, where he is finishing up this year. He led the nation’s qualifiers with a 66-66-132 and played the hottest golf of the tournament as he knocked off Ed Hopkins of Abilene, Texas, with a three under par 67. He is, more or less, a protege of Cary Middlecoff, the cup-filling Memphis dentist. In the league, Booe admits he just doesn’t belong. "I don’t care whether I lose or not,” said the lingerie J salesman as he went out for his sixth round Thursday. “I’ve gone much farther than I should have already.” His 42-40-82 for a 1 up win over Charley Kunkle of Johnstown, Pa., seemed to bear him out. But he was even par in the morning round. So, whether you believe it or not, almost anything can happen today. That’s the way ifs been so far. “TbTOeleriiici CROMARTIE FUNERAUIOME , DUNN, N.

Improvement Is Seen For State Gridders RALEIGH W General im provement for 1955 is forecast hope fully in almost every college loot ball camp of the upper South. But all this is overshadowed by the awesome might of Maryland’s Terrapins bidding for a national championship. Except for Maryland’s role as a powerhouse, there has not been better balance in the two major conferences of the section The Atlantic Coast and the Southern in years. A favored few Maryland, Duke and West Virginia Promise to continue domination. But the challengers will be stronger. In the two previous years of the ACC’s existence, neither Maryland nor Duke has lost a game to a conference rival. Maryland was tied by Wake Forest for a blemish that deprived the Terrapins of an other Orange Bowl bid last sea son. The same two teams appar ently will be leading contenders for the Miami trip this year—and again, they do not play each other Maryland Against Missouri Jim Tatum’s declaration of the might at Maryland “perhaps my best team’’ had a crashing effect. The Terrapins open their quest for the national title Satur day against Missouri the team they slaughtered on national TV last Thanksgiving, 74-13. By Oct. 1, the Terrapins will have met the toughest rivals on their schedule UCLA and Ray lor.

The Blue Devil back field is particularly explosive, with halfbacks Bob Pascal and Bunny Blaney, and fullback Bryant Ald ridge returning. Duke will make its bid for prom inence by playing a schedule that includes the champions of every major bowl game last new year’s —except the Orange Bowl where the Blue Devils beat Nebraska. Th schedule Includes Ohio State. Georgia Tech and Navy. OUT FOR NO. 3 West Virginia’s massive Moun taineers have won two consecutive Southern Conference titles.

Among the most improved teams, on the basis of pre-season indica i tions, are Clemson and North Caro [ lina State. Better balance, speed and more depth is available at North Carolina and Virginia, but ■ both the Tar Heels and Cavaliers i face tougher schedules. South Carolina and Wake Forest • have outstanding individual per formers, but graduation losses and i a lack of reserves will slow their ' rise. North Carolina, which plays one I of the nation's tougher schedules i opening with Oklahoma, meet • ing Notre Dame and Maryland on the way, and fishing with Duke ■ wll be mproved. The Yankees could then go ahead by beating the Red Sox with a .614 percentage compared to the Indians’ .612 mark. WYNN AGAINST HOEFT Manager A1 Lopez selected Early Wynn, a 35-year oid righthander with a 16-10 record to face the brilliant Hoeft, a 23-year-old southpaw. Hoeft has a 16-7 record and leads the majors with seven shutouts. Manager Casey Stengel, who thinks his Yankees can win all 10 of their remaining games, chose 17-game winner Whitey Ford to face Williams & Co. Ford will be opposed by Frank Suilivan, an 18- game winner. Tlie Yankees’ big worry as they enter the series is controlling the great Williams. It’s a job they’ve accomplished fairly well so he's hitting .333 against them but has driven in only three runs and hit just one homer in six games. Following this three-game series with Detroit, the Indians piay the White Sox twice and then wind up the campaign against the Tigers at Detroit. The Yankees have hree games with the Washington Sen ators and four at Boston with the Red Box left a£ter the sequence beginning tonight. It was only in the last two weeks that the Sox and Red Sox buckled in the face of twin drives by Cleveland and New York —a 765 spurt, 13-4, by the Indians and a .714 pace, 10-4, by the Yankees. The White Sox, who play the Kansas City Athletics tonight, still have a faint mathematical chance in he event of a total collapse by the two leaders but the Rex Sox are definitely out of it. In the National League, mean while, the champion Brooklyn Podgers returned to New York for a “homecoming parade" today feel ing anything but invincible. They completed their final West ern swing of the year Thursday by dropping their fifth in a row— a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardi nals in 12 innings in the only game played in the majows. , NOW GET NEW CAR POWER From Your Present Auto With Grand Duels, Headers And Mufflers DUEL EXHAUST SYSTEMS More Power On Inside Better Tone On Outside ■, Automotive Supply Co.
