pair of singles and hurler Bob

A&M and Topeka, Kan., and
Brhee Cudd. a 20-year-old junior
at Portland University in his own

The public links players are
Ted Richards, jr, of Los Ange-
les, and Irving Cooper, a tuna
Johnny-come lately.
In other matches, Irving Cooper
of Huntington Beach, Calif., who
was runnerup to Richards in the
publinks, met Robert W. Kuntz of
La:chmont, N. Y., and Arnold
Blum of Macon. Ga . faced Bruce
Cudd of Portland, Oregon.
Westland and Venturi were only
a small portion of the better-known

Those still competing included:
Two public links players—
the champion and runnerup.
Throe college boys.
A coast guardsman and a
navy airman whose main duty
is directing recreation.
A steel plant worker.
A covey of salesmen.
And an unemployed politician
who doesn't have to worry about
the shortage of votes
The bracket of 16 wasn’t en-
tirely devoid of name players—
or golfers financially able to hold
up their end in the country club
set. But it definitely was a tour-
nament for the working men at
this stage
Among the survivors were 1950

Herefords Need
Victory Tonight
MALESTER, Sept. 17——Ada
Herefords, who won the first game
of the Sooner State playoffs then
lost two straight to McAlester,
will be out to tie the series 2-2
Thursday night in the fourth meet
ing of the clubs.
If the Rockets win again, they
will have a 3-1 edge and be in
position to wrap up the best-of-
seven series at an early date.
Wednesday night, McAlester
scored five times in the seventh
inning for an 8-5 victory. Carl
Lean Ted Bishop, the 1946 cham-
pion, who went down before Ray-
mond Palmer. 4 and 3. (The two
Palmers are not related.)
Bobby Knowles. IB-year-old for-
mer Walker cupper from Brook
line, Mass, who was conquered by
Richards, 2 and 1. t
There was little left for Okla
homans to talk about except Nich-
Walker Cuppers; and the west-
ern npen champion, Dale Morey
of Indianapolis.
In addition to Urzetta—a but-
ton salesman—are Walker Cup-
pers Bill Campbell, the former
West Virginia legislator, Gene
Littler, who has an airmans
rating but concentrates on golf
at the San Diego, Calif , navy
station, and Jim Jackson of St.
Louis, who sells burlap bags.
These four managed to sur-
vive the weird third day of the
tournament which saw defending
champion Jack Westland, for-
mer champions Charley Coe, Ted
Bishop and former British Ama-
teur champion Harvie Ward, who
outlasted Coe in a 23-hole, third
round thriller, knocked out of the
running
The duel between Coe and
Ward was the big event Wednes-
day and when Coe lost on the
fifth extra hole, after a memor-
able comeback from a three-
down deficit with five tn go, the*
prospects for oversized galleries
during the rest of the tourna-
ment began to fade. When the
winner, Ward, lost out to Bobby
Kuntz, former Yale university
captain from Larchmont, N. Y.,
the last of the glamor boys dis-
appeared.
Emerging as the most notable
figures on this dizzy day were
two 23-year olds, Littler and Arn-
old Palmer, a Cleveland coast
V - , ' 7 '

Littler, one at the pre-tourna-
ment favorites who had a pair

IUVER wonder where they come from, all those caddies slaving at
‘ the Oklahoma City Golf and Country club during the National
Amateur?                                              .         .
Well. they're all home grown. USGA roles prohibiting use of

week long event with full blessing of Oklahoma City school officials.
And, it's one heckuva job riding herd on the whopping 200-man
^Charged with keeping things running smoothly in the caddy
shack is Paul Robinson, who probably has done as much scrambling
as any two contestants in the 53rd classic
In fact, the darkhaired Country chib caddie master sighed
Wednesday:             1.  ..
"This-morning at breakfast was the first time Ive been able to
sit down and eat "
Robinson has been on the go for mere than a week, lining up
the bag jockeys, making assignments and smoothing out the thou-
sand other little details involved in running the caddie end of the
mammoth links show             ......  .   ,

to process an equal number of caddies. He augmented the regular
Country club staff by calling in reinforcements from Twin Hills,
Lincoln park and Meridian Schoolboys were cleared through senior
highschool athletic director Bill Nailer and other public school of-
ficlals. . . , ,
“They run from ages 12 on up," Robinson said, and, ul course,
with so many needed, some of them had to be inexperienced. But
we haven't had too many complaints'
There were several squawks opening day, Robinson reported,
but the last two days things have been pretty quiet around the com-
plaint department.
"Part of that is because a winning qolfer doesn’t like to change
horses in mid stream," explained the caddies major domo
When the original “blind" draw for caddies was made contest-
ants were allowed to accept or reject the boy offered But once
teamed up, most winners hang on to their boy
This late in the milling, losing caddies are eliminated .risht
along with their bosses But earlier Robinson found other jobs for
those not assigned or whose contestants got the ax-quickly Efficient
running of the tournament required another army of USGA messen
gers. And in the late rounds there 11 be boys carrying signs with
each contestant s score and standing in match plus others to help
police the galleries                                              ce
