Middlecoff Second
Goalby
St. Petersburg
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)—
The touring golf pros had a new
rabbit to chase as they started' the
final round of the $15,000 St.
Petersburg Open Tournament to-
day.
Bob Goalby, the husky and
handsome youngster who was
chosen "Rookie'Of the Year" for
1958 by the leading money win-
ners on the circuit, carved out a
neat 3-under-par 69 Sunday for a
205 total and a one stroke lead at
the three quarter mark.
The 28-year-old from Belleville,
III., credits a revamped grip for
an improved game that has
brought 'him rounds of 70, 66 and
69. hje discovered he got better
results by holding the club more
in the fingers of the left hand, a
grip he once discarded. —
Runner-up is another big man,
Cary Middlecoff of Hollywood,
Fla. The erstwhile Memphis den-
tist, competing in his first tour-
nament since a hernia operation
last September, sank putts from
all distances on the second nine
Sunday to wind up with a 67
and a total of 206.
One stroke behind Middlecoff
was Pete Cooper, Lakewood,
Fla., who had a 69 to add to
earlier rounds of 68 and 70.
It was a rough day for the top
men at the half-way mark, Goal-
by and Cooper excepted. George
Bayer, of Gleneagles. 111., top man
after 36 holes with 135, blew wide
open with a 77 and a 212 total, a
seventh place tie. «
Wes Ellie Jr., of Aldecress,
N,J., only a stroke behind Bayer
after two rounds, took a 74 to
drop five strokes off the paoe.

LOUISVILLE. Ky. (AP) — With
his fair skin, blond crew-cut hair
and gentle features, Darrall Im-
hoff looks like an All-America boy.
By this time next year, he could
be an All-America basketball play-
er.
The 6-10 pivotman of California's
National Collegiate Athletic Assn.
basketball champions has come
such a long way in two years those
closest to him say there's no tell-
ing what heights he may reach.
As a high school basketball play-
er in Alhambra, Calif., he had
trouble making the first, team. He
was no shakes as a freshman at
Cal two years ago. Last year as a
sophomore, he got into 16 games
and scored 14 points—a per game
average of nine-tenths of a point.
Saturday night at spacious Free-
dom Hall here, his tip-is rebound
of his own missed hook shot with
17 seconds Ifeft beat gritty West
Virginia 71-70 for the NCAA title.
In the two-night NCAA show-
down here, only All-Americas Jer-j
ry West of West Virginia and Os-
car Robertson of Cincinnati drew
more attention. West, who tied th%
five-game NCAA tournament rec-
ord of 160 points, was the over-
whelming cnoice of the spofts
writers for the Most Valuable
Player Award. Imhoff was the
runner-up.
Both West, a unanimous choice,
and Robertson polled more votes
for the All-Tournament Team. But
Imhoff got the nod from 48 of the
56 voters for a solid third position
on the team rounded out by Cal
teammate Denny Fitzpatrick and
Louisville's Don Goldstein.
Goldstein was a steady scorer
for the homestanding Cardinals in
their losses to West Virginia in
the semifinals and to Cincinnati
by a 98-85 count in Saturday's con-
solation test for third place.
"To compare Darrali—as some
have done—with Bill Russell on
defense at thrs stage is like com-
paring a college player with a
third grader," said Coach Pete
Newell, the master of defense and
slow-down play who capped a 16;-
?ame winning streak with Cafi-
ornia's first NCAA basketball ti-
tle and the first for a Pacific
Coast Conference team since 1942,
"Let's say he approximates Rus-
sell and could reach that class in
two or three years."
East-West Cage
Game Is Slated
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) —
Twenty of the nation's top college
basketball players will perform
here Wednesday night in an East-
West all-star game.
Perhaps the most Interested of
fthe spectators in the University of
Maryland's Cole Fieldhouse will
be scouts from the National Bas-
1 ketball Assn.
All the competing players are
seniors and thus eligible for the
NBA draft later this month.
Each 10-player squad is headed
by an Associated Press All Amer-
i ica choice. Bailey Howell 'of Mis-
sissippi State, the nation's fourth
leader scorer, will play for the
' East, His counterpart for the West
will be Bob Boozer of Kansas
State, who finished sixth in scor-
ing t during the past season.

"Seiden made them (Bradley)

Julio Gotay, a 19-year-old speed-
ster with the Pepper Martin flare
for daring on the basepaths. has
restored the Gashouse Gang flavor
to the St. Louis Cardinals.
* The Puerto Rican youngster, a
shortstop not even listed on the
spring training roster, is making
quite a stir in the Redbird train-
ing camp.
With the Cards limited to three
hits by Los Angeles, it was Go-
tay's base-running which brought
about St. Louis' 3-1 triumph over
the Dodgers Sunday. He was
largely responsible for the Cardi-
nals two decisive runs in the sec-
ond inning.
Cleveland suffered a jolt when
veteran ri^ht-hander Mike (Big
Bear) Garcia was struck by a line
drive on the left knee and carried
from the field as the Indians
topped Boston 7-5.
