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.

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

terback Jerry Barger, has a dan
gerous team. 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. With
quarterback Fred Wyant and tackle
Bruce Bosley heading the cast,
Coach Art Lewis’ monsters .bid to
make it three. Virginia Tech, un
i beaten in 1954, will be the chief
challenger.
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. ,
