Texas possibly will be a strong

Dory Funk is a fashionably-built
young athletic person from Ham-
mond, Indiana, who attended Uni-
versity of Indiana and became
quite a wrestling protege of Coach
Billy Thom.
He became ao proficient that
eventually he won what is known
as the Southwest States Junior
heavyweight championship, snd he
is coming to Abilene tonight to put
that title on the line against the
villian of West Central Texas

By a process of elimination, Funk
is recognized as the junior heavy-
weight wrestling champion of a
number of Southwest states.
BLACKLEY CHOSEN
Gene Blackley, who spoils his na-
tive wrestling ability by uncouth
and irrational practices in the ring,
has been selected by the local pro-
moter aa challenger for Funk's ti-
tle. A lot of wrestling fans could
think of a more popular contend-
er. but that is Wilson's business.
If snything like fair practices are
permitted in the ring tonight, It Is
very likely that Blackley will re-
main a contender and not a cham-
plon.
The supporting card tonight has
promises. The agile "ape-men"
from South America, aptly called
Gorilla Pogi, taken on Oust John-

RUMFORD, Me., Feb 6 —
They award only individual titles
in the World Ski championships
but If they did determine a team
title it would be exactly as you
figured—Norway and Sweden are
out in front.
With four of the five events in
the Nordic phase of the games
completed, Norway is leading with
40% points. Sweden Lx second with
34, followed by Finland with 22
The United States is fourth with
3%. France fifth with 3 and Cana-
da sixth with one Denmark, Switz-
erland, Yugoslavia and Austria

The tabulation includes the
Jump, in which four Norweigans
broke into the scoring at Lake
Placid, N. Y., and the 40-kilometer

from Finland here. Both events
were decided Sunday,

Twenty-three skiers are sched-

twice violates the Federation In-
ernationate de ski rules, but that
has been waived because of lack
of anow at Lake Placid, only 50-

Sweden won a thrilling victory
in the relay primarily because of

"WHEN LIFE INSURANCE N NEEDID, IT IS TOO LATE TO BUY”
MIDLAND, Feb. 6. — Texas,
which has been doing a pretty good
job of raising its own golfing
greats, now is importing them.
The latest additions to the links
family are the Bauer sisters-Mar-
lene and Alice
I Such names as Ben Hogan, By-
[ ron Nelson. Jimmie Demaret,
Lloyd Mangrum, Ralph Guldahl,
| Henry Ranson, Dick Metz, Polly
Riley, Bebe Didrickson Zaharias
and Betty Jameson have made Tex-
as known as the golfing garden of
the nation.
i Marvelous Marlene Bauer, vot-
ed the top woman athlete of Ameri-
ca in 1949 and her sister recently
I picked Midland as the place they’d
i rather live in while playing the na-
| tion’s links.
The girls, along with their fath-
er, professional Dave Bauer, a
wealthy golf teacher, and their
mother moved to Midland in early
January, r
The move came as a surprise to
many.
“We came to Midland because it
is so much closer to national golf
competition." papa Dave explains.
He tours with the daughters. They
won't be back here until March
Marlene and Alice became fond
of Midland and the Midland Coun-
try Club when they were here on
an exhibition tour in 1949
Papa Dave thinks a lot of 22-
year-old Alice but secretly lets it
leak out he believes 15-year-old
Marlene will make the best tourna-
that ability to disassociate herself]
with every thing else once she is on
the golf course. Mariene just seems
to be a born golfer.’” bn says.
Marlene has been playing since
she was old enough to hold 1 club.
At the age of 10, ahe cracked 80
Two years previous, at eight, she
had qualified for a state women's
tournament In South Dakota where
the Bauers lived originally.
When she was 13. Marlene beat
Dorothy Kielty of the American
Women’s Curtis Cup team. One.of
her rounds, a 70. seat a new rec-
ord on the course where they were
playing.
Father Dave confides it wasn’t
easy to bring all this about. He
has been the constant
companion
ment golfer .
"I think Alice tries s little hard- and teacher of both Marlene and
er than Marlene, but Marlene has Alice all their lives.
