Freed Gets 2d Chance As Davis Cup Captain NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 4 (AP).—United States tennis fathers gave David Freed another chance as Davis Cup captain today and took new steps toward opening up competition to the pros. Freed, 51-year-old Salt Lake City financier, was chosen by the United States Lawn Tennis Association to try to salvage the wreckage of the 1960 campaign which was marked by defeat and Hope springs eternal in the human breast," Freed said. “I debated a long time whether to accept. I welcome the chance to try to win back the cup.” Last year the Americans were beaten in the inter-zone finals at Perth, Australia, by Italy—the first time in more than 20 years they had failed to gain the challenge round—and later the team was criticized for so-called poor sportsmanship. Two Under Probation Two members of that team — Chuck McKinley, 19, of St. Louis and Dennis Ralston, 18, of Bakersfield, Calif.—are under a year’s probation for their antics. McKinley, who hurled a racket into the stands at Perth, is under suspension until May 1, 1961. Yet they are the two key members in Uncle Sam’s plans. Los recovery of lost prestige now that their older teammates, Barry Mac Kay and Earl (Butch) Buchholz, have turned professional. “In McKinley and Ralston, we have the basis of a fine team—either one could turn into a Bobby Riggs or a Jack Kramer overnight,” Freed said. “And in Tut Bartzen, we have the best clay courts player in the world.” Bernard (Tut) Bartzen, 33, of Dallas, served as a sort of co-captain to Freed last year but will not have the same capacity in the 1961 setup. Asked to Be Relieved “Bartzen asked to be relieved of this responsibility,” said George Barnes of Chicago, president of the USLTA. "He wants to concentrate on his playing.” Bartzen sat at courtside and helped Freed formulate strategy in the 1960 Middie, Plebe Teams Capture 10 of 11 Events ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 4 (AP).— Navy’s winter sports teams had a banner day today, winning six varsity and four Plebe events while losing one Plebe contest. The biggest victory was registered by the undefeated Navy swimmers who ended Yale's 16- Year string of 201 consecutive dual meet victories with a 48-47 triumph. Eight Navy pool records fell during the tension packed meet. The squash team took a big step along the road to an undefeated season with a 5-4 victory over tough Princeton. The Middle squash team has now won 20 straight, 12 of them this season. The basketball team snapped back from three straight losses to nip Penn State, 58-56. This year Freed does it alone. The captain disclosed a commitment that in case both the United States and Italy win their respective zones that the inter-zone final would be played in Italy, probably Rome, instead of the United States. "This is a promise we made because of the many times Italy has played in this country," Freed said. "If another European country should win, we are not so obligated." Freed added that the United States also favored playing the Eastern Zone winner in an Eastern city—Manila, if the Philippines win; Tokyo or some Indian city, if the Japanese or Indians come through. The USLTA, at the final meeting of its annual convention, also approved the open tennis plan submitted by Perry Jones of Los Angeles. Recommended Open Play Under the Plan, the United States will recommend to the International Lawn Tennis Federation, which meets in Stockholm in July, that each country may sanction an open tournament at its own discretion. Professionals and amateurs would be permitted to play together where approved. Countries opposing open tennis could forbid their players to compete. Also it was decided that Jones’ committee should draw up within the next 90 days the framework of an open tournament plan to be submitted to the USLTA. “Our committee will study every phase of the problem, discuss the matter with Jack Kramer and his pros and try to come up with a workable plan,” Jones said. "Kramer is a friend of mine—l growed him up. I think we can get a formula." The convention voted down many of the proposals of the research and planning committee headed by Ralph Westcott of Chicago, among these were the elimination of the world “amateur,” a substitute for the term “love” (meaning “nothing”), shortened matches and revised age limits. The gymnastics team also pulled off a big upset, toppling Penn State’s defending National champions, 58½-37½. In fencing, Navy beat CNY, 14-13, for the Middies’ first victory in three starts. The middle pistol team completed the varsity sweep with a 1,358-1,077 triumph over Virginia. In Plebe events, the Middies beat Penn State’s Frosh, 81-71, in basketball; took a 48-38 swimming victory over Mason Senior High School of Drexel Hill, Pa.; whipped the Penn State Frosh, 81-85½ in gymnastics, and scored a 70-30 indoor track victory over an invitation team from Arlington, Va. The lone loss was a 9-0 shutout of the Navy Plebes by the Princeton Freshmen squash team. THE SUNDAY STAR Wottotton, O. C. February 5, 1941 2 Share First In Pro-Am Best Ball PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Feb. 4 (AP). Professionals Mike Krak of Morgantown, W. Va., and Ronnie Reif of San Diego today tied as leading money winners in the best ball pro-amateur competition held in conjunction with the $50,000 Palm Springs Golf Classic. They collected $1,750 apiece. Each led teams of amateurs, a different threesome each of the four days. Scoring was done on sub-par rounds. The Krak and Reif teams were 61 strokes under par for the 72 holes. The all-pro individual medal of the 90-hole tournament concludes tomorrow. Krak had a total individual score of 307 and Reif 290. Neither qualified for tomorrow’s final round.

Playing courses, each has a 274 and goes into the final round of this desert marathon tomorrow one shot in front of Bob Rosburg who carded a 73 for 275. Casper played the swank Bermuda Dunes country club’s par-72 course in 68; Maxwell toured the Thunderbird club's par-71 layout in 68, and Venturi had a one-under par 71 at the Eldorado course, rated the roughest in this resort land. Play Shifts to Tamarisk The final round, with the field trimmed to the low 60s and ties, shifts to the exclusive Tamarisk Country Club tomorrow. It will be nationally tele vised—(WTOP-9, 4 pm.). Dark Horse Al Mengert, the leader through the second and third rounds, had miseries in a day that was otherwise bright and, in the early stages, windy. Mengert, a teaching professional at Phoenix, Ariz., took a whooping 76. However, he still is in contention at 277. Alone at 278 is Doug Sanders, who shot a 66. National Open Champion Arnold Palmer, who fired a final round 65 to win this tournament a year ago, faces a rougher assignment tomorrow. He took a par 72 at Eldorado today for 279. Tied with Palmer are Jay Hebert, who had a great chance for a sub-par score but got into trouble on the back nine and took a 73; Paul Harney, who also had a 73, and Gardner Dickinson, who shot a 67. Fear Tied at 286 Mengert went into the fourth round with a one-stroke lead over Rosburg, two over Venturi and three over George Bayer. Bayer’s 76 gave him a 280 total and a tie with Julius Bo ris, Stan Leonard and Fred Wampler. Bob Wininger shot the lowest round of the day, a sizzling 64 at Thunderbird. It gave him a total of 281. Tied with Wininger is Art Wall, who had a 74. There was also a tie at 282 that included Bob Goalby and Cary Middle coff. Gary Player of South Africa, winner of the recent San Francisco International, is tied with Dave Ragan at 283. In the event of a tie tomorrow, there will be an 18-hole playoff Monday.

S. Terrell of Charlotte played sparkling golf again today to claim the championship in the seventh annual Sea Island Seniors invitational golf tournament. Terrell, 54, shot a 74 to finish three strokes ahead of the field at 150. Among the golfers, who wouldn’t give up was a 90-year-old entrant from Washington, D.C., Z.D. Blackistone. He played through the first day’s miserable weather, carding a 136, and under today’s sun improved to 116 for a 36-hole total of 252. Gable, Veteran at Argyle, Elected Club President Raymond E. Gable, who was secretary of Argyle Country Club when it was in Silver Spring, was elected president of the club at the first meeting of the new board of governors. Gable, an attorney, succeeded his father as secretary of Argyle in the early 1930s, and remained in that office for about 20 years. Gable succeeds Raymond M. Lawrenson was president of Argyle. Lawrenson, who becomes an honorary life member of the club, was chairman of the golf committee at Argyle for 17 years before moving up the ladder as an officer. Lawrenson is permanent secretary of the District Golf Association. Other officers for 1961 will be Lincoln Johnston, first vice president; Don Sullivan, second vice president; P. W. LeDuc, third vice president, an auto-TEE TO GREEN It has been 57 days today since the first big snow of December 11, and everybody in the game, except the golf course superintendents, is squawking. The golfers who can’t afford Florida are moaning, the cadets are broke, the pros are complaining because the payrolls must be met and there's no income. The club managers are disturbed because lunch-eons, dinners, and private parties are off from 30 percent up. And to make it worse, the golf-less days might threaten to extend into the 80s or 90s before it’s safe to venture but. The superintendents have suffered the least from our most severe winter in many years. In fact, their business thrives on it. “The snow protects the grass,” Jack Athey, Kenwood’s veteran greenskeeper, was saying, “and the grass needs a little rest. “If it stays on the ground all winter we might have some snow mold,” Athey said, “although the only time I’ve seen it was when there was snow.” Fills kept some spots in the fairways covered with snow for an unusually long time. They have snow mold in New England, and areas where there’s a lot of snow, but they have a chemical they use to offset it. “We keep busy painting, repairing equipment and getting ready for spring,” Jack pointed out. East Potomac has had more golf since the first big snow than any other course. Jerry Long's records show that 70 people were playing the morning the snow started. Play was resumed January 6 when 150 nine-hole tickets were sold. The Hains Point course had golfers, from 14 on January 9 to 362 on January 14, until the next big snow January 19. Of course, they haven't had any since. Many of the courses haven't had a single round. George Graham, one of the partners in the S. G. Leoffler Co., concessionaire of the public courses, said, “We have a weekly payroll of more than $2,500 whether people are playing golf or not.” “We've painted East Potomac, cleaned the other club houses and the men are overhauling equipment,” George said, "but our income is going to be way off. We can’t expect any concession from the Department of Interior just because there's snow on the ground. It just means there’ll be less percentage for them, and less for us. There’s no weather clause in our contract.” Clagett Stevens, Manor Club pro, who is distributor for one of the major electric car companies, said he didn’t think the snow would have much affect on the car business. “We seldom get a car on the courses until April 10 because the fairways are too soft from the thaws of a normal winter.” Clagett said, "If we get some good March winds we should get the cars out on." Paul Burley, assistant manager at Congressional, estimated business at a club that far from town is off about 35 per cent. “We've only had four party cancellations,” Burley said, but the weather has hit our big parties, and our dining room business is way off." It’s the same at most clubs except for a few closer to the city limits. WEATHER Continued From Page D-1 track meets were only partly completed in New York. Only nine weight throwers trudged through the snow for events. A couple of officials also were on hand, so the nine took their throws. Bob Backus of the New York A. C. was leading with a 64-foot throw. The rest of the weight throwers, along with the shot put event, have been tentatively reserved for next Saturday. The Met AAU had a pole vault and a broad jump scheduled for New York University's Ohio Field. That, too, probably will be held next week. Among the basketball games called off was the double header at the Philadelphia Pastime pairing Muhlenberg and Temple and St. Joseph’s and La Salle. Five pro hockey games, four booked originally for last night and one for today were postponed. The Argyle Land Co., which owns the stock in Argyle C. C., elected the same officers, except for second vice president, where Richard L. Bedell was named. The proposal for a $150,000 addition to the club house, which was approved by the Argyle Land Co. at the annual meeting, will be submitted to The country club members, who must vote on it because it means an increase in dues. If the club members approve the plan, it will be put in the hands of a finance committee. Valentine on Mat Card Johnny Valentine will meet The Crusher in a one-falf match opening the wrestling show at 8:30 p.m. Thursday at Capitol Arena. By MERIE WHITTLESEY Bonnie View, one of Baltimore's suburban clubs, can’t beat the weather, so it’s joining. Starting Tuesday, Bonnie View is inaugurating ski instruction. NOTES—Tom Manning will be installed as president of the District Golf Association at the annual meeting Thursday night at his Bethesda Country Club. Dates for all invitation and member-guest tournaments will be cleared at the meeting. The George Washington’s Birthday sales have spread to the golf shops. Dewey Ricketts and Jim Hightower have a holiday sale scheduled for Brooke Manor members.... There’s a new tire for golf cars called the "Terra-Tire," which is 18 inches high and 15 inches wide. It’s supposed to tiptoe over the fairways without crushing a blade of grass. George Schneiter’s idea for a 3-inch cup probably will be laid to rest along with Gene Sarazen’s proposed 8-inch cup, and Ben Hogan’s funnel-shaped green, which would take the emphasis off putting. The first bids to the $50,000 Colonial Invitation in Fort Worth usually go to Hogan, five-time winner, and Byron Nelson. But this year the honor of being the first invited includes Ed Oliver, seriously ill at his home in Wilmington, Del. It was done because of Porky’s contributions to Past tournaments, inducing his role of favorite entertainer at the clinics. Columbia Country Club rather optimistically has scheduled its third annual Icebreakers member-guest for Saturday, March 4. Right now that seems hopeless, but Charles DeLozier and his committee can’t be blamed for wishful thinking.

Mike Nash’s goal with 45 seconds left put the Middies in front, 57-54. Jake Trueblood of Penn State closed the margin to one point with a goal at the 32-second mark. Ron Terwilliger dropped in a foul shot with 18 seconds remaining to account for Navy’s final point. The Middies are now 6-8 for the season and the Nittany Lions are 7-7. Navy pulled into a 51-42 lead with 9:01 left for its biggest margin. Penn State, led by Gene Harris, scored 10 straight points to take the lead at 52-51 with slightly more than four minutes remaining. Dave Tremaine, who ended with 15 points for Navy, and John Phillips traded goals before Tremaine hit again to make it 55-54 Navy with slightly more than two minutes to play. Penn State outshot Navy from the floor, 23-20, but was inconsistent from the foul fine, where the Nittany Lions made but 10 of 23 attempts. Navy hit 18 of 26 free throws. Penn State G. F. F. Pte.

By Girl Win Mixed 4-801 MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 4 (AP).—Barbara Williams of Richmond, Calif., produced two great shots to win the National mixed foursome amateur golf championship here today for herself and her partner, William Hyndman of Philadelphia. Coming to the 33rd hole 2 Over Willie Tumesa of White Plains, N.Y., and Mrs. John Fitton of Hamilton, Ohio, Miss Williams calmly canned a 65-foot putt for a birdie three. On the par-three, 34th, Hyndman’s tee shot was 50 feet over the green while Tumesa’s was on the carpet, 25 feet from the pin. Miss Williams, faced with a pitch and downhill slope past the cup, stopped the ball less than two feet from the hole. Mrs. Fitton went past the pin by five feet and Miss Williams and Hyndman had the championship, 3 and 2. Tumesa and Mrs. Fitton never recovered from a two-hole deficit on the first nine, where both had putting trouble. But it was Miss Williams, with a great iron shot on the 30th hole and her clutch putt and chip on the 33rd and 34th, who won the match. Buell is Named To THE Club Post Joe Buell, former McKinley Tech and George Washington University halfback, has been named sports luncheon chairman of the Touchdown Club, it was announced yesterday by Andy Davis, club president. Buell and Davis were teammates at Tech in 1944 before Buell joined the Air Force. Joe was selected as the Touchdown Club’s outstanding high school player that year.
