There were no surprises when the entries "were posted for the mile-and-one-quarter event.

The Two Michigan golfers did some upsetting at widely spaced spots on golf dom's winter circuits. i Max Evans, pro at Sunnybrook and an unknown on the PGA tour, upset the dope by shooting his way into the runner-up spot in the Tucson Open. Evans followed his opening 67 with a 66 for a 36-hole total of 133, seven under par. He was deadlocked with Lloyd Mangrum. They were one stroke off the pace set by the threesome of Johnny Bulla, Jim Turnesa and Ted Kroll.

EVANS, who never has won any major golf event, had seven birdies on his tour. Another 18 will be played Saturday, and the final round Sunday. The only other Michigan player among the leaders was Ed Furgol, of Royal Oak, who matched 66 and 69 for 135.

CLEAR SKIES and a fast track are promised, and some 50,000 or more fans are expected to watch this super- extravaganza of the turf. Post time is tentatively set for 7:35 p. m. (EST). The beting favorite will be the Vanderbilt entry.

Next Move, with Eric Guerin in the saddle, will carry high weight at 121 pounds, and Bed O' Roses, ridden jy Earl Combest, will get in at 110. If either wins, the net prize for multi-millionaire Vanderbilt will be a record $134,700. The same goes for the Crofton filly, Special Touch, or Last Round. These four were supplemental nominees and their $10,000 supplemental fees are deducted from the big pot to make up the net. A VICTORY by Beau Max, Lotowhite or any of the others will be worth $144,325 net.

They are paid-up members of the "Maturity Club," whose fees, dating from foaling time in 1947 up to Friday's $500 entry fees and Saturday's $1,500 starting fees, go to make up this gigantic gross purse. The previous money records for a single race were the gross purse of $146,320 distributed by the Los Angeles Turf Club for the 1946 Santa Anita Handicap, and the net prize $108,400 awarded Azucar for winning the inaugural Santa Anita 'Cap in 1935. Saturday's gross purse, in fact, will be upped $14,670 making a total of $220,370 if a California-bred horse wins. This goes to the breeder of the horse. PP.

But U.S. Champions Are Ready Injured Stars Back for Olympia Struggle BY HAL MIDDLESWORTII City College of New York, grand slam king of basketball, will meet Lawrence Tech at Olympia Saturday night. And, if it's all the same to the Beavers, Lawrence would just a little rather not be slammed. The Blue Devils still are count ing the bruises from their first defeat of the season, and they are hopeful of getting back on the winning track. THEY LOST their first decision in 14 outings early in the week to Washington Jefferson.

They have eight games still on their docket and will feel a lot better about them if they can get past City College and Bowl' mg Green, which come along a week hence. With all respect to City College appears to be the most talented team LIT has met. With the exception of Irwin Dambrot, who was graduated, it is the same team which swept to championships in both the National Collegiate Athletic Association and National Invitation tournaments last March. Coach Nat Holman has back the boys they call "Mr. Inside and Mr.

WITH THEM, Holman has been starting Al Roth, Floyd Layne and Herb Cohen. All five are juniors. The Beavers were off to a stuttering start and dropped five of their first 11 games. Warner was out with a twisted knee, however; Roman had an Infected toe, and Cohen was hospitalized during that span.

The team took a 20-day layoff starting Jan. 12 and came back in full force this week to wallop John Carroll at Cleveland, 79 to 67. That is the same team Lawrence Tech trimmed, 88 to 66, at the Coli seum almost a month ago. That is a 22-point margin, compared with 12 for the Beavers. COACH DON RLDLER scouted CCNY'a victory over John Carroll but didn't have much time to work out the Blue Devils' strategy.

Both he and the Beavers were caught in Thursday's snowstorm and missed practice sessions here. Ridler worked long and hard with the LIT squad Friday, however. He hopes to match Roman's high-powered shooting with the Blue Devils' all-over speed and firing power. Roman has sailed along at a 17.5-point average, which tops anything on the Lawrence roster. But three of the Blue Devils are over the 10-point mark, with Blame Denning 12.8 average set' ting the pace.

Jim Stepler is close with 11.7 and Ken Burrell has 10.6 They, with Roger Adams and Barney Petty, a pair of dangerous outside shooters, will man the guns for Lawrence.

In a period when baseball is suffering from "war nerves," it received encouragement from President Truman. In a message to National League President Ford Frick on the circuit's "Diamond Jubilee Celebration," Mr. Truman said: "This is an occasion upon which all Americans can join in wishing the League and the sport it has helped so much to develop many more years of uninterrupted activity. I am among them. "MY MESSAGE to all who attend the Diamond Jubilee dinner: May the sun never set on American baseball.

"Baseball has made great contributions in peace, and in war it has asked no special favors nor will it in our present preparedness program." While President Truman's letter was not as clear-cut or forceful as the "Green Light" letter his predecessor, the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, sent the late Judge Kenesaw M. Landis in 1943, it was highly favorable for baseball's continuance. Meanwhile Landis' troubled successor, A. B. (Happy) Chandler, was off on a nationwide tour in an effort to salvage his Major league owners voted in December not to renew Chandler's contract.

Chandler refused efforts to obtain his immediate resignation and since has campaigned vigorously tp win over some of the men who voted for his ouster. CLUB OWNERS voted, 9 to 7, to renew Chandler's contract. But Chandler needed 12 votes to gain re-election. After that ballot, the owners unanimously voted to open search for his successor and appointed a four-man committee survey the candidates. handler's bitterest antagonist is Fred Sigh, owner and president of the St.
