Seton Hall University from South Orange, N. J., has won its first 21 games. If it can win its remaining nine contests it will become the first team ever to go unbeaten through a 30-game schedule ‘against major opposition. The last school to turn in a per- feet card for regular season games was Columbia in 1951-52. The Lions won 22 in a row, then bowed to night to capture an impress- ive win over St. Peter and Paul’s of Miami by a one sided margin, 61-27. The Conchs jumped into an early lead and when they opened up their offensive in the second quarter --- that was all for the Panthers. The win is not going to hurt the Conchs a bit this afternoon in Homestead when the seedings are made for the upcoming District Mlinois in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Only one other club has gone all the way unbeaten since college basketball went big time. That was Army against the war-weakened tourney seedings. The Conchs’ record of six straight wins give them a fa- re ys var velo” vorable spot in the pairings squads of 1943-44.

BURKE The article on the 80-year-old woman being awarded a trophy in a golf tournament recently was not out West, but in South Carolina. Mrs. H. R. Mauk, 70 Rest Beach, sent the article and to her, the Bench is grateful. Quoting the clipping, “Fort Mill’s and probably South Carolina’s most remarkable woman, Mrs. W. B. Ar- drey, Sr., received a trophy from Pete Goodman, pro at the Fort Mill Golf Course for a tournament held for the ladies of that locale. “Although you wouldn’t know it to see her, or watch her play a fast round of golf over Fort Mill’s long and difficult course, Mrs. Ardrey was 80 years old last October. Last summer she made a resolution that she was going to retire from wo- men’s tournaments after the ‘52 matches, and play only for fun when she wanted to. But none of her friends to whom she is affec- tionally known as ‘Missie,’ took her retirement seriously, “Mrs. Ardrey is a golfer from way back. She and Mr. Ardrey, who is about a year her senior, have been playing most of their married life. Both still play fre- quently, but Mrs. Ardrey proba- bly plays more frequently than he. “In the spring and fall when the weather is mild, she. plays. almost every day, except Sunday.

J., the championship in the $10,000 Tucson Open yesterday and added $2,000 to his bankroll. The temperament Tommy went over par only once during four days of play. Sixteen birdies gave him a 72-hole total of 65-68-66-66-- 265 for the par 70, 6,402-yard El Rio Golf and Country Club course. He showed no signs of his famous temper when he accidentally touched the ball on the ninth fair- way and penalized himself a stroke. Chandler Harper of Portsmouth, Va., a veteran who may soon be out of a job for the first time since 1934, almost made a strange dream come true as he fought back | on the final nine holes to come! within one stroke of the winner and collect $1,400. Harper said about a month ago a friend of a friend dreamed he (Harper) had won the 1952 Tucson Open. The friend said his pal had had other dreams come true. So Harper hopped on a plane and flew out here to play in his first tour- ney since last August despite a } painful arm injury. “The dream was the whole rea- son I came,” he said. “It almost came true,” Harper shot three 66s and one 68 for a total of 266, better than the 267 total that won for him here in 1950. He said the Ports- mouth City course, where he is pro, is the site of a proposed high school and will be closed. Cary -Middlecoff of Memphis, Tenn., and Tony Holguin of Mid- lothian, Ill., the Spanish-American winner of the Mexican Opening 1949 and 1950, finished in a third- place tie. Each won $920. Lloyd Mangrum, Niles, Il.; Jer- ry Barber, Lacanada, Calif.; Ted Kroll, New. Hartford, N.
