It was Pohol- sky's first victory over the Giants since he came into thcbig leagues By HUGH FULLERTON JR. DETROIT, July 20 WR Sam Snead snatched the qualifying lead in the PGA championship today, then chuckled: "I hoied more putts today than I have in five tournaments." It was a familiar story as the White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., slammer, a three-time winner of ii hi i- 'i i 1 1 ii'1, I -v-S, fi i rl, Stepehenson around a walk to Bur-brink gave the Cards two more runs off Monzant in the sixth.

Favorite Course A whole flock of 69s and 70s turned up on the scoreboard as the pick of the club and touring pros attacked the kind of course they like to play on. Meadowbrook hasn't been toughened up noticeably for the tournament, the rough is light and offers good lies and anyone who could putt well had a chance to score well. That one was Snead.

Using a putter he bought after his arrival here and an altered putting stroke, he had eight one-putt greens, and missed only a few short ones. "I changed my backswing," he explained. "I'd been putting badly and I watched the others, added up what they did and put in two hours on the putting green yesterday. "Of course I hit the ball pretty close to the pin," he added. "I was driving well.

Nobody is going to hit all those fairways, but that doesn't make much difference." Regains Putting Touch Snead had only one birdie on the front nine, dropping a short putt AP Wirephoto in 1951. Held hi'less by Johnny Antonelli 8 until the third inning, the Cards walloped the southpaw for seven hits and five runs in the next three i and continued their assault on Ra-'mon Monzant. Hoyt Wilhelm and 'raul Gicl. It was the 12th defeat for Antonelli against only seven tri- umphs. Thf only Cardinal home run was -hit by Stan Musial, who collected "his 21st four-bagger of the season in the fifth, 'following a single by shortstop Bob Stephenson.

Musial boosted his runs batted in total to 70 with a run-scoring double in the eighth. Despite his generosity with base hits, Poholsky had a shutout going into the seventh. Then Wes West-rum and Bobby Hofman hit successive home runs to account for the lone Giant runs. Poholsky helped his cause with three singles, driving in a run and scoring another as he evened his season's record at 4-4. Stephenson and Ken Boyer, freshman third baseman, also col- le.ted three hits apiece as only Rip Repulski and catcher Nelson Bur-brink failed to join the hit parade.

Boyer drove in two runs and stole his 16th base, tops in the majors. The Cards took a 2-0 lead in the when Poholsky and Stephenson singled after two were out and both scored on Wally Moon's double. Red Schoendienst was hit by a pitched ball in the fourth, moved to second on an infield out and scored on Boyer's two-out single. Musial's two-run homer in the fifth boosted the Cards' lead to 5-0.

Tech's baseball team' won the Virginia collegiate crown and was in the running for the Southern Conference title all the way. The Gobblers defeated champion West Virginia. Tech had its first winning golf team in six years, and the outlook is excellent for next year with all aces returning.

Track is on the upgrade for the Gobblers were second in the Southern Conference. Swimming, likewise, saw a winning team. Tennis and basketball were the only sports in which Tech failed to sparkle. Moseley recently went to arch-rival Virginia Military Institute to hire Chuck Noe, an aggressive young basketball coach who has had much success with i on the seventh hole. Coming back he rolled in a pair of good ones for birdies on the 10th and 11th, came out of a bunker with a fine shot and dropped his putt for a 3 on the 438-yard 15th then saw a downhill 10-footer curl around the 1 i.

The record for 36 holes is 134, held jointly by Jim Ferrier and Skip Alexander. Snead could beat it with a 67 tomorrow. After tomorrow round, the 63 low scorers and defending cham pion Chick Harbert will buckle down to the serious part of the competition the match play. Har bert is playing through the qualifying rounds for practice and fired an even par 71 today.

69 Bracket Snead's playing partners, Ed (Porky) Oliver of Lemont, 111., and Eric Monti of Los Angeles, finished in the 69 bracket with Masters champion Cary Middlecoff, Tommy Bolt, Lew Worsham and a couple of others. Indications at the end of today's play were that it would take a score of 145 or 146 to qualify for match play. The only "name' piayer who appeared likely to miss this mark was Chandler Har per of Chattanooga, the 1950 PGA champion, who had a 78 to day. Jack Fleck, the amazing Iowan who beat Ben Hogan for the Open championship last month, Detroit's Wally Burkemo, PGA finalist three times in the last four years, and Gene Sarazen, who won the PGA for the first time way back in 1922, all had comfortable 72s. Ed Furgol, 1954 Open champion, joined Harbert in the big group at 71.

Tech had only one victory to slow for 29 games in three years of football, preceding Moseley arrival. Moseley's 1951 team won only two games. 'We have a long way to go," he said.

Things improved in 1952, the Gobblers winning three in a row and winding up with five wins and six losses. Tech five and lost five in 1953. But in 1954 Moseley's team went undefeated, only a 7-7 tie vita William aJd Mary marring the Gobbler record. Tech's unbeaten season was its first since 1918. The Gobblers were ranked the nation's 16th team in The Associated Pross poll at the close of the campaign.

The 1955 outlook is rosy. Coining up to the varsity will be a freshman team, regarded as the finest in Tech's history. Tech'i T954 freshmen won four, lost one. The defeat was to West Virginia's freshmen-, considered the best at the Mountaineer school, and resulted from a referee's quick whistle. The referee admitted he was in error after the game.

Moseley was named Virginia Big Six football coach of the 1954 season. "There's complete serenity and happiness at Tech now," Moseley says, paying tribute to football as a morale booster. "Four years ago, things were in a turmoil. faculty was split. The alumni were split.
