LLOYD MANGRUM Captures Crown for Third Time LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5 (P) — Sharp-shooter Lloyd Mangrum captured the $20,000 Los Angeles Open Golf crown for the third time in his illustrious career today when he scored a one under par 70 for a 72-hole total of 280. The 38-year-old Mangrum wound up the full route four strokes under par. It matched his winning score in 1951 and was four shots under his triumphant total in 1949. Mangrum, refusing to bow to pressure, whipped the field by five strokes and more in his drive to pick up the winner's check of $2750. The scene again was the Riviera Country Club — 7020 yards in length, with par 35-36—71. Mangrum's card read 37-33—70, and his previous rounds were 69-72-69. Second place went to young Jack Burke, Jr., of Houston, whose 70 today added to 70-75-70 gave him 285 and $1900 prize money. Mangrum, Texas born, a resident here but who plays out of Tam O'Shanter in Niles, Ill., captured the lead in the first round of play. The scene again was the Riviera Country Club — 7020 yards in length, with par 35-36—71. Mangrum's card read 37-33—70, and his previous rounds were 69-72-68. Second place went to young Jack Burke, Jr., of Houston, whose 70 today added to 70-75-70 gave him 285 and $1900 prize money. Mangrum, Texas born, a resident here but who plays out of Tam O'Shanter in Niles, Ill., captured the lead in the first round of play last Friday, was within one shot of the lead at the midway mark, and yesterday torged back to take a solid five stroke margin over his nearest rivals. They were Burke and Art Wall of Pocono Manor, Pa. Burke had the lead trimmed down to three shots at the end of 61 holes this afternoon, but passing the 63rd and going into the final lap, Mangrum was still five ahead of Burke and four in front of Wall. The other vague threats, Harry Bassler of Culver City and Millan Marusie of Herkimer, N.Y., were within six blows of Mangrum seeing off, but they soon faded back into the also-ran company. Bassler, a club pro seldom in a major tournament, tied at 289 with Zell Eaton, Montebello, and Johnny Bulla, Verona, Pa., won $1,360.66. Wall, 28, former Duke University player, fell back with a 75 for 290, but the $1000 consolation was the most he'd ever won in a single tournament. Mangrum, in a joyous speech after holing out on the 18th green, said: "I was lucky. I guess. Played sloppy golf on the first side. But those four birdies on the backside and only one slip—well, that helped." An estimated 5500 fans trooped over the fairways to watch the players, and most of them were soon trailing Mangrum, playing in a threesome with Wall and Bassler. Burke's 285 was four strokes better than he shot a year ago in tying Tommy Bolt and Dutch Harrison for first place. Bolt won the playoff, but today Tommy was far behind with a 73 for 292 and $625 winnings. Jay Hebert, the personable young man from Erie, Pa., who led at the halfway mark with 140, settled for an 80 today for 298 and 285. Al Mengert, 23-year-old extricate star from Spokane, made his debut as a pro, shot a 78 for 296. He is not eligible to collect any money until he has been a pro six months. Harrison, a seasoned veteran in the mid-winter affair, shot a 71 for 292 and $625. CAPTURES L.A. OPEN—Sharp-shooting Lloyd Mangrum chips 30 feet from the long grass at the edge of the 9th green, then sank a 6-foot putt to get his par 4 on the hole in the last round of the Los Angeles Open Golf Tournament yesterday. Mangrum continued to shoot sub par. NCAA Picks Eight Colonist Cagers Beat Arizonans Chalking up their 11th victory in non-league play this season, Anaheim High school's basketball team romped to a 62-40 win over Gilbert, Ariz., here Saturday night. Gilbert threatened at the start of the game, jumping off to a 6-0 lead and then widening the point spread to 11 to 4 before the Colonist cagers began to find the nets for points. The visitors employed a 2-3 zone defense which proved ineffectual when Anaheim cagers began working in and out with fast-breaking plays and shooting from the outside. Leading scoring for the Colonists was Bill Ames who accounted for 21 points, although he was in the game only two quarters. Fred Frank dumped in 11 points and Guard Joe Clark garnered eight tallies on four long shots. Joe Germain led the Arizonans' scoring efforts with 13 points. Anaheim Coach Bill Hunstock used his first string quintet in the first and third periods. Second stringers were played in the second and fourth quarters. The game was Anaheim's last non-league game for the time being. Sunset League play for the Colonists opens Friday night when Anaeum will meet Newport at Newport. Winter Base Continue Play Anaheim Junior Tennis Players Vie in Tourney With Bobbie Jean Downs Ann Williams, Ronnie Legg and Floy Baker, representing Anaheim junior high school, and Mary Flynn representing Marywood Catholic high school, Anaheim junior tennis players gave a fairly creditable account of themselves in the 26th annual midwinter interscholastic tennis tournament sponsored by the Fullerton high school and played on the Fullerton high school courts over the weekend. With a list of former champion including some of the greatest names in tennis, the Fullerton classic annually attracts a strong field of high school contenders with each school in the Southland eligible to send two girls and two boys for the competition. Ellsworth Vines, Bobby Rigg Jack Kramer, Bob Perry, Doroth Bundy, and Beverly Baker are only a few of the many winners of the tournament who have gone on to national and international fame as adult players. Miss Flynn had the best record of the local players, going to the semi-final round before losing on the last day in love sets to top rank d Darlene Hard of Montpelier. In the first rounds, Miss Flynn defeated Maude Roy of Huntington Beach high school. Australian Davis Cup Tennis Duo To Play in LA LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5 OP Frank Sedgman and Ken McGregor, the Australian Davis Cup duo who blasted all opposition in the 1952 matches, start cashing in their $100,000 tennis chips tonight row night. Both say they're in top condition for the professional debuts here against Jack Kramer and Panchio Segura, a couple of tried and proven pro campaigners. Both Sedgman and McGregor feel the flight from their home-land didn't hurt the peak shape they reached for the late December Davis Cup matches they took from the United States team. For the openers today and Wednesday nights, Sedgman will face Kramer, and McGregor tangles with Segura, the Ecuador star with the famed two-handed sinashes. After playing here today and Wednesday, the touring pros head for Madison Square Garden in New York. Sedgman hopes to tour Australia about November, but the reception might not be too hospitable. Sir Norman Brookes, president of the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia, has said that amateur associations there would not like a sponsored professional tour. And in Australia, where amateur tennis is king, the association owns the big stadiums where the pros would like to play. Berry Quits COP Athletic Board STOCKTON, Jan. 5 OP Lowell Berry said today he was quitting as chairman of the board of athletic control at College of the Pacific because of a difference of opinion over football coaching policy. Berry Stockton and Oakland industrialist has been chairman for three years. He told reporters that the "difference of opinion" stemmed from COP faculty rejection of his nomination of Larry Siemering to be backfield adviser to Ernie Jorge, head coach. Siemering was head coach at COP for several years prior to 1950. Injured Midget Driver 'Critical' GARDENA, Calif., Jan. 5 OP—Bobby Ball of Phoenix, Ariz., injured in a midget race car accident yesterday, remained unconscious and on the critical list today. Ball, 26, suffered a basal skull fracture and concussion in an accident during the main event of a racing program at Carrell Speedway. Ellsworth Vines, Bobby Rigg, Jack Kramer, Bob Perry, Dorotha Bundy, and Beverly Baker are only a few of the many winners of the tournament who have gone on to national and international fame as adult players. Miss Flynn had the best record of the local players, going to the semi-final round before losing on the last day in love sets to top-ranked Darlene Hard of Montebello. In the first rounds, Miss Flynn defeated Maude Roy of Huntington Beach high school, 6-3, 6-2. Shan Commeau of Santa Monica high school 6-1, 6-2, and Mary Jordan of Long Beach, 6-1, 6-2. Anne Williams had been a first round victim of Miss Hard's superb brand of play, also losing in straight love sets. Miss Downs was defeated, 6-4, 6-2, by Jane Goss of Huntington Beach. Flood baker reached the quarterfinal final of the large boys draw before losing to Barry Boehm of Santa Monica, 6-0, 6-3. In the first round he won very handily from Richard Kaluster of Dorsay high school in Los Angeles, 6-2, 6-1. The second round proved more difficult as he ran into a three set encounter before winning from Jack Martin of Comppton, 6-2, 6-2. Ronnie Legg lost in the second round to Gordon Maloney of Riverside high school, 6-0, 6-0; after defeating Jack Parker of Bellflower, 6-1, 6-0 in the opening frame. DiMaggio Favored For Hall of Fame NEW YORK, Jan. 5 OP—Early tabulations of votes for Baseball's Hall of Fame indicate that Joe DiMaggio great New York Yankee centerfielder who resigned after the 1951 season, will lead the list of those to be named by the baseball writers this year. With the deadline for ballots from about 300 writers eligible set at Jan 15, the early returns show that the Yankee star is certain to add his name to the list of baseball immortals. Announcement of those elected is expected late this month after tabulations are completed. um Victorious In Los A Anaheim Gaz Gaze Kansa Cagers By NEW YORK, Jan. 5 C in the Associated Press b from runnerup Seton Hall second straight week.

(APWirephoto) With two teams pulling out of the Orange County Winter Baseball league over the weekend and a schedule upset by rays further hampring operations, league leaders yesterday improvised a schedule to keep the league until Feb. 1. President Ralph Frick said the league will keep going until that date despite reverses and plans are being made for the 1953 campaign. Loss of players through the draft and military transfer and temporary loss of the use of America park were listed as the reasons Fullerton Optimists pulled out of the league Americapark is undergoing repairs for spring practice by the Los Angeles Angels. Frick said the Fullerton club had signed up for the 1953 season. Anaheim Optimists dropped from the league because of losing too many players to high school competition, Ray Tran to illness and Minard Duncan to the military service. Anaheim Manager Danny Rowland said his team would be back in the league next year. Frick announced that all-star game will be played in La Palma park Feb. 8 and that players from disbanded teams would still be eligible. Tentative plans for 1953 league play, according to Frick, include conference play to start the Sunday after Labor day in order to escape later-season heavy trains which upset this year's schedule. The league president said more WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 GP—The National Collegiate Athletic Association today picked the sites for eight of its national championships, but reached no final decision on three of its more important meets: Track, baseball and swimming. The NCAA is beginning a six-day meeting here, a meeting in which the most controversial issue is expected to be. How much college football should be given the television audience? The television committee starts work tomorrow behind closed doors, with two all-day sessions scheduled. The executive committee, headed by the NCAA president, Hugh C. Willett of the University of Southern California, named these tournament sites and dates. Tennis — Syracuse University, June 22-27. Golf — Colorado College, June 21-27.

K eight games, was voted the writers and broadcasters at the country participating in poll. Its rousing victory in Big Seven tournament solidified the backing for State. The K-Staters piled up points on the usual basis of points for first, nine for second and so forth. Seton Hall, which trailed Kansas State by a six-five points last week, was vowed by 20 writers and finished with 647 points. The New York team has won 13 straight longest streak of the season among major college teams. La Salle's once-beaten team which led the poll the first seven only to drop down to last week, placed in the No. 3 again, with Illinois holding fourth place The Illini, like La Salle the losers of only one game, up 525 points without a six-first place vote. All was confusion after the four teams, however, as the teams jumped into the top 10 others already there shuffled their places about. Oklahoma A&M climbed to notches to fifth, shoving Washington down to sixth. Then was Indiana, up five places seventh; unbeaten Fordham eighth after finishing with it also-rans last week; and Nor Carolina State, up three place to ninth on the strength of the Dixie Classic victory. Western Kentucky retained 10th position despite a loss Idaho. Those ousted from the sext group were Holy Cross, which from sixth to 14th. Tulsa, eight to 17th and Minnesota, ninth.
