PLAY STARTS THURSDAY Palmer Is Favorite For 24th Masters ’Augusta, Ga., April 2 (ap). -.Arnold Palmer, hailed as the “new Hogan" by some of golf’s circuit riders, is the favorite in the 24th Masters Tournament, opening Thursday. ’With the 1959 champion, Art Wall, jr., sidelined by a kidney ailment, most of the sentiment has swung to Palmer, a thick-ticked young professional from Ligonier, Pa., who is leading the current tour both in money, winnings and tournament victories. Bated back of Palmer in favoritism is the formidable quartet of Cary Middlecoff, two-time National Open winner who apparently has licked a midwinter slump; Sam Snead, who captured his 104th tournament victory a week ago at De Soto Lakes, Fla.: the National. Open champion, Bill Casper, jr., and the dieting ex-footballer, Mike Sollchak. Top Money Winner In 11 tournaments so far, the Ygar Palmer has won four—three of them in a row—and compiled 125,675 in winnings, more than double that of his closest challenger. He won this tournament in 1958 and finished third last year when Wall staged a blaz-! ing finish to pluck out a tri umph with five birdies on the last six holes. Slogan, now 47 and burdened with business duties, is in the again, seeking his third; Masters championship. but even the most romantic of ob servers concedes him little cinnce. As usual, the great and near great of the game—an array of champions from eight nations —have gathered for the four day, 72-hole assault on the Augusta National course con ceived by the immortal Bob Jones and made additionally famous by the slices of Presi dent Eisenhower. " Televised by CBS The Masters will be televised by CBS on the final two days after the field has been cut to the low 40 players and ties.

Farrell Tops Record in AAU Swim Meet NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 2 (AP).—Olympic Swimming Prospect Jeff Farrell bettered America’s 100-yard sprint record tonight with a time of 48.2 seconds to become a double winner in the National AAU men's indoor swimming and diving championships. Records were bettered in all seven races tonight, six of them American marks, and Southern California easily won the team title for the third straight year. During the three-day competition, various records were broken in all 14 races. The 23-year-old Navy officer from Wichita, Kan., who won the 220-yard freestyle last night, ripped through Yale’s 25-yard (short course) pool to outdo the listed American mark of Farrell recorded 48.4 here a few weeks ago. 2,500 See Races The event, one of eight that brought the three-day meet to a close before a capacity crowd of 2,500, was all Farrell. When the chips were down, he licked Harvard's Bob Kaufman by about two feet. Harvard's Bruce Hunter was next, followed by Lance Larson of Southern California, last year's champion; 16-year-old Steve Clark of Los Altos, Calif., and Joe Alkire of the South West Swim Club. Young Clark led the quail fiers in the afternoon trials with 48.8, but the strain, apparently proved too tough for the spectators. The Sun-day Star, Washington, D.C., April 3, 1960.

Charlie Tidwell of Kansas pulled up 10 yards short of the finish line in the 100-yard dash, thinking that was the end of the race, and lost to Ralph Alspaugh of Texas. In the 1500-meter run, won by Archie San Romani, Jr., of Wichita, so of the track great of yesterday, Gail Hodgson of Oklahoma fell and Bob Mellgren of Baylor fell on him, knocking the latter out of the race.

Turned in last week by Dennis Rounsavelle of Southern Cal in the National Collegiate meet at Dallas. Southern Cal's 400-yard medley relay team of Bittick, Larson, Dennis Devine, and John Hendricks was clocked in 3:42, which bettered the national mark of 3:45.5 recorded here. By a Yale quartet in 1958, Jozsef Gerlach of Michigan easily retained his three-meter diving title. Southern California piled up 79 points, 15 more than New Haven. Nobody else was close. Carroll Beals Bonner, 63-49, for 55th Win PHILADELPHIA, April 2 (Special).—Archbishop Carroll High School from Washington, D.C., upheld its wide-spread reputation before some 7,000 fans in the Palestra tonight with a 63-49 victory over Monsignor Bonner, basketball champions of this city. The Washington champions moved out to a 14-13 lead near the end of the first quarter, with 6-foot-11 John Thompson providing half their points, and never were caught as they recorded their 55th triumph in a streak begun in January, 1959. It was the Lions’ 31st straight victory this season and the last high school game for six seniors — Thompson, George Leftwich, Walt Skinner, Ken Price, and Bill Barnes, plus Mike O’Brien who did not play tonight. Thompson made 10 of 14 field goal attempts as he finished high scorer with 26 points. Leftwich added 18 as the next highest, while Frank Corace, one of the three 6-foot-4 players for Bonner, topped his club with 14. Bonner made its most serious run at Carroll just before halftime and narrowed the gap to 26-23. It was 45-29 entering the fourth period and the Lions salted away the verdict by making 12 of 15 foul shots. Carroll played a zone defense most of the way and held Paul Gallagher, Bonner’s backcourt ace, to two points. The Lions had a huge advantage in rebounds, 58 to 30, with John Ausch, 5-foot-U sophomore, the surprising leader with 15.

Carroll. Nieporte Keeps Azalea Lead WILMINGTON, N. C., April 2 (AP).—Tom Nieporte bogeyed two of the last three holes today for a par 72 finish in the rain and held a three-stroke lead after 54 holes of the $15,000 Azalea Open golf tournament. His 204 total is 12 under par. The Bronxville, N. Y., pro lost two strokes to runner-up Dow Finsterwald of Tequesta, Fla., whose 70 for a 207 total put him in dangerous position for tomorrow’s final round. Gay Brewer of Crystal River, Fla., held third place at 209 after a 71. He was one stroke ahead of Jerry Pittman of Tulsa, who also had 71 today. Nieporte had four birdies and four bogeys, but his putter also cost him some strokes. The 30-year-old former national collegiate champion chipped in from 55 feet for a birdie three on No. 13. Rain, which caught him on the 13th hole and lasted through the 17th, was at its peak when Nieporte bogeyed the short 16th.

The popular golf professional was given a check for several thousand dollars. Also paying tribute to Gerard, who has been the Norbeck pro for all six years of its existence, were four pros from other clubs—Wiffy Cox of Congressional, Ward Burgess of Chevy Chase, Clagett Stevens of Manor and Al Houghton of Prince Georges. Mrs. Gerard was given a portrait of her husband, making the awards were George Mason, first president of Norbeck, and Walter Ogus, current club president.

Mississippi Georgia, Florida, 1041* THE TO GREEN By MERRELL WHITTLESEY Arnold Palmer may be the betting favorite for the Masters this week, and Ben Hogan the sentimental choice, but the golfers around town are talking more about Sam Snead, who obviously impressed them by winning at DeSoto Lakes last week. Columbia’s Freddie McLeod, who leaves with Ricky Willis this morning for Augusta, picks Snead. The winter tour has produced the last four Masters champions in Jack Burke, Doug Ford, Arnold Palmer and Art Wall, but Freddie still sticks with what he calls the "old men." Mr. Mac talked to his side kick, Jock Hutchison, the other night and they hope to see off first, as they have done since 1951. Freddie said he will play the second round if he has a respectable score Thursday. "The par 4s are too tough for me." The 1908 National Open champion said, "And I have played less this winter than any time in my life." McLeod and Hutchison, the 1920 PGA and 1921 British Open champion, usually play, the 18 holes about a half hour faster than the trailing two-hose. The Columbia Country Club delegation to the Masters has grown to almost 25 members this year. They rent a couple of houses in Augusta. The field will be cut to the low 40 and ties after Friday's round, but a second stipulation has been added this year. All players within 10 strokes of the leader after two rounds will survive, even though that would make more than 40 players. The host Augusta National Club has a second member in the Masters this year in Charlie Coe, the two-time National Amateur champion. The other is Billy Joe Patton... It was feared that the late date for the Masters would find the redbud, azalea and dogwood blooms past their peak, but the long winter in Georgia now has saved the color of the thousands American Helps Oxford. Beat Cambridge Crew LONDON, April 2 (AP).— Oxford’s favored eight, trigged by an American and using radical "shovel blades" adopted from Germany, rowed to a length-and-a-quarter victory over Cambridge today in their 106th boat race on the Thames. Cambridge never led, despite an accompanying cheering section led by Princess Margaret and her fiance, Tony Armstrong-Jones, coxswain of the winning Cambridge boat in 1950. It was the first time since 1911 a member of the royal family watched the race. With Townsend Swayze, former Harvard ace from Hamburg, N.J., lending his powerful strokes at No. 3, Oxford opened up a wide lead in a record-breaking first mile pace and held a steady margin all the way. The winning time for the 414 miles was 18 minutes, 59 seconds—well off the record of 17:50 set by Cambridge in 1948—but more than enough to give Oxford its first back-to-back victories over Cambridge since 1937-38. Oxford, which won by six lengths last year after four straight losses, now has won 47 races to 58 for Cambridge. There was one draw— in 1879—in this series that began in 1829.

Davidson Steals Show in Terps 7 Scrimmage Jim Davidson, former first-string left halfback now operating as No. 3 quarterback, was one of the brightest stars in Maryland's two-hour football scrimmage yesterday. "Davidson stole the show," Coach Tom Nugent said afterward, visibly pleased with the game - condition session in which the first four teams played entirely offense. It was the Terps’ first scrimmage and fourth workout of spring practice, with about 90 players dressed. Dale Betty operated as the starting quarterback, followed by Dick Novak, Davidson and Ken Paira. They completed 25 of 43 passes, with Betty clicking on 11 of 17, Novak six of 10, Davidson five of seven and Psira three out of nine. Eleven touchdowns were Styron Sets Hurdle Mark BATON ROUGE, La., April 2 (AP). — Don Styron bettered the world record in the 220-yard low hurdles today as he and his twin, Dave, teamed to help Northeast Louisiana down Louisiana State, 88-48, in a dual track meet. Don Styron turned in a mark of 21.9 seconds. For the 220-low hurdles, the existing record of 22.1 was set by Elias Gilbert on May 17, 1958. Dave won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, while Don won the 120-yard high hurdles in 13.9 seconds. Both Styrons ran on Northeast’s winning 440-yard relay team. OPEN TODAY 11 A.M.-5 P.M.
