BROOKLYN EAGLE, THURSDAY, AUG. 28, 1941 15 Unknowns Take Over In National Amateur Few Familiar Names Remain In 3d Round of Match Play Field Club, Omaha, Aug. 28 (U.R) Having put the blight on their famous competitors in the first two rounds, a bunch of unknowns took over the National Amateur Oolf Tournament today. Sixteen remained as the third round of match play opened, but only four were golfers whose names are familiar in national records. Gone after one of the wildest opening rounds in years were Dick Chapman of Mamaroneck, N.

When, at Hamilton, Fine topped the one-time boy prodigy, It was not the first time that this City College graduate had surpassed the U. S. champion in tournament play. Somehow, and somewhat surprisingly, he has so far failed to break Reshevsky's winning streak in the biennial championship tournaments of the United Chess Federation.

He will have another try for the much coveted national title during the Spring of 1942. In the meantime a set match between these super-masters is quite among the possibilities. His signal success on the campus of Colgate University marked the first time that Fine managed to annex the New York State championship. He fell short of the mark whenever he tried before. This time he went through 10 rounds undefeated, in which respect Reshevsky and Isaac I.

And when the Tigers first came there for Spring drills he watched them as an open-eyed little fellow. He was an imitative kid and soon was aping the pitching deliveries of the various Tiger hurlers. Jimmy's big hour of glory came one day when the Tigers were short a batting practice hurler. They gave the Negro boy a chance and was he happy! Hill went so well that they used him time and again.

Eventually Del Baker tipped off managers of some of the colored clubs in the North as to this talented Negro boy and he was given a contract soon after that by Effa Manley, president of the Newark Eagles.

Abe Splo, Wally Hoborow and Weedy Prendergast are ready for pitching duty for the Parkways, while Tremper can pick his starters from among Gene Bowe, Bill Simmons, Art Smith and Tremark. Brooklyn College Starts Grid Practice Tuesday Football practice will begin for Brooklyn College's gridders on Tuesday, Head Coach Lou' Oshlns revealed yesterday before departing again for his Summer camp quarters In Connecticut. The Kingsmen will be put through a physical examination on that day, but actual practice will probably be held off until Wednesday or Thursday, Oshlns said. Koons Battles Svendsen tor Job at Center Princeton, Aug. 28 A four-way fight between two rookies and two veterans for a starting pivot position has been one of the features of the Brooklyn Football Dodgers' training camp here at the Hun Junior School.

Earl (Bud) Svendsen, former Minnesota star and the No. 1 center last year, reported an improved an edhavier player, but he is a long way from clinching the first-string Job. A Long Island University boy who tips the scales at 190 is one of the rookies giving svendsen tne battle. It's Joe Koons, strong blond who's fast enough to be an end or a back. The other first-year man Is Tom Robertson, 210-pounder from Louisiana State, while good-looking Si Titus, Holy Cross All-East star, who came up with the Brooks a year ago, Is the other experienced man.

Titus, as Coach Jack Sutherland rates his men, is right behind Svendsen with Koons and Robertson running neck and neck Just back of him. At first Sutherland considered It a real calamity when three of the centers he drafted last Fall were caught In another kind of draft this Spring. Into the army went Ray (Penn) Frick, Glenn (Texas Jackson and Ken (Rice) Whitlow, but Jock and his assistants aren't so sure any of 'em would have been able to top the pivots he has In camp. for an 81 that took the low gross prizes by five strokes. This was the first year Bobby Jacobson and his father Ben played on Long Island.

It was a grand occasion for Ben, a sad one for the well-known son, for Ben putted like a demon. Tne only putt Bobby holed was a little thing after Ben had pulled an extraordinary recovery from the rough. But, for all this, Ben had his tough moment. He missed one shot but that was right in front of the clubhouse, on the 18th, where all the second-story men (those up In the grill-room windows) could see. What about the Leysers? Harry had a tendency toward the right.

His son, Clay, went whole hog that way. To hear them tell It, it's amazing that they finished. The L. I. G.

A. should provide a nine-hole qualifying test and then nine-hole matches for the really little fellows, the boys under 12. There were some promising kids out yesterday, Ken Sheldon's boy, Lou Ruckgabers son and that much-freckled son of Clarence Edwards, Bill. Billy really looks good. If he can ever putt like his father he should ba a bhampion.

Fred Fitzsimmons Aknusli, Texas Gulf Stream 4rs Entered in Open That the National Open championship to begin at the Meadow Brook Club on Sept. 10 will provide competition well up to national title standards of the past was indicated last night when the entries of the first three teams was announced by Devereux Milburn of the Tournament Committee. The three teams leading the way are Aknusti, headed by the nine-goal Ebby Gerry, who led the Aknusti outfit to the national title last Fall; Gulf Stream, led by Mike Phlpps, the veteran internationalist, and Texas, which will be captained by Cecil Smith, the ten-goal star from the Texas plains. Aknusti, which won the Open final last Fall, will return to the Gerry will again be at No. 3, but wars with a new lineup.

Capt. Ebby will have as his teammates George H. (Pete) Bostwick, at No. 3, and Gerry's two younger brothers, Edward and Henry, at No. 1 and back, respectively.

The Gulf Stream outfit headed by Mike Phipps will carry real punch with the international vet-em at No. 2, with his brother, Ber. Phlpps, at No. Charlie von Stadc at No. 3 and Alan Corey at back.

The Texas team also will bv" formidable, built around the ten-goal Smith and Harry Evinger, a young Texan now rated at seven goals but definitely on his way up in the handicap ratings. Smith will be at No. 2 and Evinger at No. 3 in the lineup. Jay Sccor, former Yale star, at No.

1, and Henry Lewis, at back, round out the team. At least two, probably three more teams are in the process of formation for the tournament which will open with a mid-week game on Sept. 10. Mrs. McNaughton Wins Tournament at Oakland Mrs.

Harry McNaughton won the low gross prize yesterday in the Women's Long Island Golf Association tournamen over the Oakland Golf Club course in Baystdff.

An eight blossomed for them there, an eight that made their magnificient 443 finish leave them with a 91 and a net of 78 that failed by Just a stroke of tying. Tough I Bob and Max Johnke went out In 40.

That was smooth manipulation of a golf ball on a rough day. But then came one of the letdowns. Max tried to play shots so safely his son, a former Hempstead champion, couldn't miss sticking the next up stoney. But he learned, as so many others had before him, that golf scores aren't won by playing safe. And so all the grand work of that 40 went for nothing but an 87.

Outside the Leysers, probably the most disappointing start was that of former champions, Herbert and Arthur Kroeger for the son started by wafting a ball out of bounds and that, at Cherry Valley, means a stroke and distance penalty no matter what they may be doing out In Omaha In the national amateur.

Reg Rowe and his father, a Cherry Valley team, came pounding down the stretch, needing a 43 (even par finish) for all the glory.

But bucking the wind on the 17th, the elder Rowe slanted his drive off to the right. Young Reg, a powerful hitter, tried to reach the bunker-guarded green but didn't quite make it. His father tried to get one out of the aand the easy way and stuck the ball up under the ledge. From there on It was Just too bad. They finished with an eight.
