(AP) Michigan State College's powerful act of three swimming brothers has been reduced. A bit' blond tMiy from Charlotte -Clayton Heafner -used his golf putter like a magic wand Sunday to tin n a last -round score of 69 into a $3,000 first prize in the Colonial Invitation tournament at Fort Worth, Texas Heafner is a broad-shoulder, baldiml e-nt who hasn't won a ma jor tournament in a couple of years. He shot four sub-par rounds to take the tourney money this time, surprising more than a few people. HiK Clayt went into the last round jiet three strokes ahead of Ren llofian. the name little man from Pennsylvania who had just copped the PGA tournament. But the North Carolinan put on the pressure to win in beautiful style. He was over par on only one hole ol the round -No 5 when he shot into water and took a stroke penally But he chipped 100 feet to within six inches of the cup for a birdie on the Number One hole, sank a neat live-footer on Number Seven and a hair-breath 20-fooler on No. II Kroin there on he coast ed. He ran into some trouble on the eighteenth hole, but it didn't matter lie had the title enched, He had also set a new course rec ord. It was North Carolina's day. Right behind Heafner was Skip Alexander of Lexington who tied with Ben Hoiiaii for $1,70(1 second place. Going into the eighteenth hole, Alexander had a great chance to lake second place. Skip, who was playing Heafner, slammed his drive onto a creek bank. He took off his right shoe and with that foot in the water blasted the ball with a nine-iron to three feet from the mn Hv had a fair-sized putt to drop in for second place money. It would have pieant $diM more u Alexander could have made it. "I just can't keep my heart still," murmured the Lexington boy. He stroked the ball but it groaned to a slop four inches from the rim. He sank it and tied for second with llogan. Hoean's DUtter. which had been the toast of the pro circuit until now, turned very sour. He had no birdies in the Sunday round, was missing shots like never before. "Ben is a very weary boy," said one pro. Cars To Roar For New Records A warm, sunny afternoon, a fast track, and the hottest group of speed cars ever to roll around the 500-mile oval were in the offering yesterday afternoon at the Indian apolis Speedway. Speedway President Wilbur Shaw, himself a thre-time winner of the race, says he expects the winner to average over 1?0 miles an hour. The top drivers agree with Shaw. The field of 35 took off at noon before an expected 150 thousand fans in the race for the guaranteed first prize of $20,000. Actually the winner will get much more than that, since $20,000 in chunks of $100 for each of the 200 laps goes to the driver winning each lap. Other prizes from outside increase the purse. lo I - V ) ! . s J1,'-' '" " U Her L' gill IJS CONSECU V,CT0RII$ 1 X$ffi$$$& FIRESTONE TIRES 5 KNSM PAY flMI Y A WEEK J Rains Help Rombers Edge A's Bain helped the New York Yan kees halt the Philadelphia Ath letics' eir.ht game winning streak when the ur.ipiie called the last caine.iif a doubleheailer Sunday in The filth inning.
