...this season. Winding up with an intercollegiate record of 1,954 points, the skinny freshman, who just got his delayed high-school diploma a month ago, announced: "Now I'm taking off to hit the books." ¶In Baton Rouge, with a splendid 13-under-par 275, Sammy Snead, back on the tournament trail, whipped the field by three strokes for the $10,000 Baton Rouge Open...
