(P) - Stretch- runner Jack Burke, Jr., turned a frosty putter into a blade of blaz- ing steel yesterday for a comebak 3 and 2 victory over Ted Kroll which added the Professional Golf- ers Association title to his Masters Championship. The boyish-looking, 33-year-old Houston pro thus became the second man to win these two major championships in a single year. Sam Snead did it in 1949. On Birdie Binge Three down through the 19th hole after missing four putts of four feet and under, Burke went on a birdie binge on the front nine of the afternoon round to crack the iron spirit of Kroll, the 37-year-old ex-infantry sergeant from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The new champion nailed five i birdies in six holes, starting at the 20th, and four birdies in a row--from the 24th through the 28th. He sank an 18-foot birdie putt on the 22nd and then in his fan- tastic finishing spurt on the front side dropped consecutive birdie - birdie putts of eight, three, two and seven feet-attesting to brilli- ant iron play and renewed confi- dence on the greens. From three-down at one stage, he quickly reversed the trend of the match to take a two-hole lead at the 27th which he stubbornly refused to relinquish, The holes ran out for Kroll on the 187-yard par three 34th, where the Florida professional hooked his tee shot wide of the green, chipped 10 feet past the hole and took a bogey four, losing to Burke's par three. Before this hole seVen straight holes had been halved - the 27th tlrough the 33rd - as the two finalists shot stroke for stroke in even par golf. Service Calls Golf Victory Credited To Key Chip Shooting r I t CANTON, Mass. (o)-A smiling, towel-draped Jackie Burke Jr. confessed to "an amazing round of chipping" in the final 18 holes of his PGA Championship victory yesterday over Ted Kroll. The baby-faced Texan, two- down after the morning round, notched four straight birdies in the afternoon and held on for a 3 and 2 triumph. "I had an amazing round of chipping this afternoon," said the 33-year-old winner of this year's Master's Tournament. "I was too tired and he played like gangbusters" was Kroll's ex- planation of the sudden turnabout in {the action. "I had a system of putting which deserted me in the morn- ing but I got it back for the final round," Burke said. Burke ex- panded on his system by saying he squares the face of his mallet- type putter with the course he in- tends the ball to take - not at the hole itself. When asked what he felt was the deciding factor of the match, Burke replied: "It was my par four on the 32nd hole." On that hole Burke - trying to hold on to his lead against his dangerous foe - drove to a fair- way trap on the right. His seven- iron shot at a tree-obscured green sailed high with a slice that put it directly in front of the green. His chip went within four feet of the pin and Jackie dropped his putt for a par. Kroll thought he would surely gain ground on the hole after driv- ing long and true but wound up with a discouraging halve. The MUSIC CENTER '.rc.

Coach Buddy Parker wasted no time in getting the squad to work after more than an hour devoted Psych 'A' Drubs Astronomy On No-Hitter by McKeachie to picture-taking. The squad got out of full-dress suits and into shorts for brisk drills in the 80- plus degree weather. 'Rough Stuff' Today "We'll get down to the rough stuff tomorrow," said Parker. "We have a big job to do, and we can't afford to lose any time." The "big job" the veteran coach referred to is rebuilding the Lions into title contenders again. The club finished last in the National Football League's Western Divis- ion last year after a string of suc- cesses. Gene Gedman, one of three ser- vicemen returning for the drills, arrived late and missed the first- wourkouts. But Yale Lary, a de- fensive back, and tackle Oliver Spencer were on hand and both re- ported themselves in good condi- tion. The Lions also are missing three of their top backfield, choices- Howard Cassady of Ohio State, Jerry Reichow of Iowa and Don McIlhenny of Southern Methodist. All three are working out with the College All-Stars on the North- western campus at Evanston, Ill, and will take part in the Aug. 10 contest between the collegians and the pro champion C lev e lan d Browns. So Parker is assured that those three will be in top condition when they arrive at the Ypsilanti camp. Barry Basel, a big tackle who played at Michigan Normal (now Eastern Michigan College) last season, failed to report. Another absentee was first- string offensive guard George At- kins, who sent word through Harry Gilmer, Lion quarterback, that he did not plan to report. The coaches could not explain the move. vanIAovtn SEMIbANNUAL SALE Bill McKeachie of Psychology 'C' 0 Specially Priced for Bargain Day b pitched a 15-0 no-hitter against astronomy last night, in the only I-M softball game.
