THE MICHIGAN DAILY RUSSIANS FAVORABLE: American-Soviet Meet May Be Run Yearly Writer Finds PGA Course Impossible for Amateurs NEW YORK (.)-There is a faire chance that the United States andC Russia will meet in a mammouth international track meet every1 non-Olympic year. "I wouldn't be surprised to see this meet become a regular thing," said Pinky Sober yesterday. He is1 head of the AAU's Track and Field1 Committee and acted as referee of? the meet last weekend in Phila-. delphia. "We've already had some exploratory talks.." Sober added that he was happy- there were no embarrassing inci- dents like sign-carrying. There are problems, though, andI the main one is money. The AAU here is in a position of continuing1 financial poverty. It just doesn't1 have the money to sponsor such1 events. Inquirer Picked Up Tab This year, the Philadelphia In- 1 quirer picked up the tab and re- ports are that it came out about even. The total "nut" was in the vicinity of $150,000. Another angel1 will have to be found if the series is to be continued., Most of the coaches, especiallyj the Russians, would prefer to have a return engagement staged some- Channel Swim Season Opens' LONDON (AP) - The. EnglishI Channel swimming season opened last week-and it was enough to make Captain Matthew Webb turn in his grave. " Webb's pioneer swim of 1875- it took 21 and a quarter hours and took, in about 50 miles-was an epic. It ranked with the great achievements of men. Now, 84 years later, crossing the channel has got a circus flavor about it. Altogether about 110 people have swum the channel. They've done it on their own and in mass races. Swimmers have done it in relays. They've even done it by rowing, gliding, amphibian motor car, canoe, motor boat, surf rid- ing, hydrosphere, balloon, pad- dling in a life-saving suit and on water skis. Even a.performing seal did it. But somehow, swimming that tricky 22-mile stretch of water dividing France and England still makes for news. Athletes want to cross the Webb way - and every time someone does it then it's news. where other than on the University of Pennsylvania's Franklin Field. The layout is 64 years old and the track has been pretty well chopped up by international standards. Another thing Sober and Co. are going to have to live with - and they appear resigned to it-is that the Russians are going to lump the men's and women's scores together. The AAU has it in writing that 'these are two separate events, but has taken the position of letting the Russians have their fun. Will Win Every Meet That means that in the eyes of' Moscow, the Russians probably will win every meet, because it's doubt- ful if the American men can pile up enough points to make up for the competition-shy United States girls. Last year, the Moscow news- paper, Pravda, took the Russians to task for lumping the two scores, but that didn't prevent coach Gavriel Korobkov from observing that "we won about as we figured by eight points." The final scores were United States men 127 Russian men 108; Russian women 67 United States women 40. So Korobkov figures he won by 175-167. Tass, the official Soviet News Agency, sent a story back home last night complimenting every- one, but pointing out that the out- come came as a. surprise to the Americans. Tass quoted D. V. Postnikov, head of the Soviet delegation, as saying the "victory" was no fluke, that it came through intensive training. He also thought the meets should become an annual affair. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Playing a championship golf course puts the average golfing dub in a strange and wondrous world, no matter how many times he finds himself trapped, in the rough and behind trees. Associated Press sports writer Jim Klobuchar, an unblushing duffer, tried out the Minneapolis Golf Club course, site of the 1959 PGA Tournament. This is what happened:) By JIM KLOBUCHAR MINNEAPOLIS (P) - Friends shielded me from viewing the scorecard when I came off the 18th green at Minneapolis Golf Club, scene of next week's Na- tional PGA Tournament. It was an act of simple decency. They could have told me the truth. While the professionals will find this course exacting, fair and intriguing, I found it impossible. It wasn't entirely the thick, clinging rough, 6,900-yard length, 109 sand traps and magnetic trees that caused the trouble. I was bullied by psychology. Third Hole Rough On the 565-yard third hole, for instance, the experts said beware of the fairway sand traps - vast and mysterious like most on the course _- 270 yards out. This. ad- vice will be heeded by the Sneads, Souchaks and Middlecoffs, who hit that far. It went over my head. From where I stood on the back tee the traps formed a vague, shimmering lift in the horizon, a little like the dover cliffs viewed from the French Coast. In this situation your confidence melts. This is bad, because most duf- fers play golf with an aggressive sort of mediocrity which allows I them at least to be brazen if they can't be good. The pros themselves don't fig- ure to take many liberties with this trim and attractive par 70 course, described by 1958 PGA champion Dow Finsterwald as one of the five best in the nation. Can Score Low Played accurately by long hit- ters, however, it can, be scored on. Finsterwald matched par recent- ly on a difficult, windy day. The course record of 69 - a figure I left behind early on the back nine -was set by Bill ,Maxwell in an exhibition last year. MGC's real troublemaker will be its clover-laced deep rough, more than a half-foot high in some places and still growing, with the aid of a watering system. Scenically MGC is a mildly roll- ing tract well .endowed with birches, conifers, elms and oaks. Its showpiece is the 220-yard 10th, a spectator's delight in which the golfer shoots from a terraced tee over a small lake. Hazard For Duffers The experts told me the lake is an actual hazard only for a duffer. I hit into the lake. I also hit, at different times, the rough, five sand traps, four trees, my caddy's toe and a utility pole. But for a fleeting moment.I was bigger than all that. With three wood shots and a shaky iron I gained the green on the 561-yard third in four. I had a 20-foot putt for a par and, unaccountably, it rolled in. They tell me Frank Stranahan lost the 1950 National Amateur on-that hole. I thought it was a pushover. r BARGAIN DAYS 20 OFF All regular Stock of Current Fiction Non-Fiction Children's Books Stationery Fountain pens - Paperbacks Many other items Overbekk Bookstore g. 121 6 South University, NO 3-4436 t Y 4 E iI ubscribe to The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor BARGAIN DAYS ; andAirfiin Shoes The merchandise offered for this sale represents true values of the very finest in imported and domestic clothing and furnishings.
