J but bounced back each time The i winning run came in the sixth when Johnny Pesky. ex-Red Sox shortstop, committed an error ml allow Dom DiMaggio to cross the plate. DiMaggio had opened v.iff j a single, advanced to second on a sacrifice and raced all the wa; home when Pesky let George KeH - grounder go through for a two base error.

N. C. UP—Uni I versity <»f North Carolina officials i arc looking around today for a re placement for basketball coach Tom Scott after Scott's surprise announcement yesterday that he was resigning to take over as coach of the AAU Phillips Petroleum t)(i" Oilers. Scott, who has coached at North Carolina for the last six years, said that he decided to take the job with the perennial champs of i.ic amateur loop because the "op portunity was too good to pass up " lie added. "I hate to I'ive up my association with the colleges." Cab Renick. the present Oiler mentor, will remain with the Phil lips organization. The -,66" club has taken the national amateur crown eight times in the last 11 years. During Scott's tenure as head coach here, his teams have won 100 of 162 games played. The most con sistent thorn in the Tar Heel coach's side was the rival North Carolina State Wolfpack. from whom his teams never could win a game.

JR. DALLAS M — They feted Hon Hogan last night as one of golf's greatest competitors when Texas sports fans and golf bigwigs tossed a dinner to mark his formal induc tion info the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Two days from now they'll "fade" him in one of golf's greatest gam bles — the United States Open Championship Tournament The grim litflc man from nearby Ft Worth was on everyone's mind today as the 162 star shot makers who will start play in the 52nd Open Thursday morning tested the difficult, tree - lined North wood Course. Mohan's rivals don't like to con cede that Ben can win the title for the third straight year—and the fourth in as many successive at tempts for him. Rut at the same time they find it hard to pick a gainst him. Only two players, Willie Ander son and Bobby Jones, ever have won the Open four times. In spite of their reluctance to pick Hogan to win, the men who'll play against him feel he is the man the eventual winner will have to beat; a cool, calculating golfer who figures out every shot in advance and does as much as possible to counteract the effects of luck. Husky Clayton Heafner, last year's runner-up, summed it up for all of them. Telling how he had to use irons off the tee and woods from the fairway to escape the | horrendous rough, Heafner added: "You can bet the little fellow will l play it that way, too. He really thinks things out " Signs With Indians GREENWOOD. S. C.
