WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1949 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FIVB 625 Middlecoff Will Fill Cups Instead Of Tooth Cavities New York, March 23—(U.P.)There's a vacancy in the dental profes ion today because Dr. Cary Middlecoff "quit going to pieces behind the ears." Middlecoff, the 28-year-old Ted Williams of golf, turned professional in 1946 and gave himself two years to make good or swap his driver for a It looked for a long time as if the handsome young dentist would be hanging up his shingle come 1949. But with the time for decision at hand, Middlecoff in the last five P.G.A. tournaments has won three of them and finished second in the other two. He'll be filling cups instead of cavities now without any doubts. For Middlecoff now is the game's leading money winner and booming to the fore as a real attraction. It's the payoff on a lot of golf and the reward of jumpy nerves. The six-foot, three-inch slugger was bitten by the golf bug when he was a tykef of only seven. Later, attending the University of Mississippi he was a college gol star but had no serious designs on the pro jackpots when he went into the army as a dentist. He created something of a sensation by winning the North-South open, so at the end of the following year, 1946, decided to give it a whirl as a professional to make financial ends meet. He had only mediocre luck, taking the colonial invitation and winning some $6,000 Trouble led him to his destiny. While filling a tooth, a chip popped into his eye and an infection developed. Middlecoff, on sick leave, decided to try his hand at the big time tournaments as an amateur. That's not enough. For Cary figured it takes $8,000 just to meet expenses on the tour. It was almost a year after his colonial triumph before he scored another victory. Then he teamed with Jim Ferrier to capture the 1948 Miami four ball tournament. He also finished as runner up to Claude Harmon in the Masters tournament at Augusta. But when the bunker brigade moved North for the summer events, Cary had the jitters. He was at a particularly low point for the Goodall round robin. When it was over, Gary was low man on the board, some 40 points back of the winning Herman Barron. But Cary had told himself before: "I can play well enough physically and my failures can be traced to going to pieces behind the ears. I can cure that, but if I can't Jayhawker Phone 10 "Sho-Time" NOW ENDS THURS Those Yankee Doodle Dare- Devils Take-off! There's new glory in the air and this is the story . . .

Starting with the Houston open in February, he got hotter than a two dollar pistol. He was second there, moved on to win the Lower Rio Grande open and then was second again in the St. Petersburg open. Since then he has won two in a row, taking the Miami fourball again with Ferrer and copping ton money at Jacksonville. His potential customers in Memphis had better find themselves another dentist.

DiMaggio Wears Special Shoe As Yankees Win St. Petersburg, Fla., March 23—(U.P.)-The New York Yankees scored an 11-inning 1 to 0 victory over Detroit Tuesday but they were more enthusiastic over something else today—the progress of Joe DiMaggio. The Yankee center-fielder, wearing a specially-constructed shoe for his injured heel, batted a full hour before the game and then drew a base on balls as a pinch-hitter against the Tigers in the 10th inning. It was Yogi Berra's single with the bases full that decided the contest. The Washington Senators, who beat Minneapolis, 8 to 7. Tuesday, play the Yankees here today.
