Passes up 'easy living' it . i i Hopes to sharpen game I 1 J J. r 1 v , U if" i L - ' ! r h awmmiiiiliiinh i-wnirigM ELIGIO GALICIA In two-milo race Galicia set for indoor track test Palmer sets sights on 'big ones' By Oscar Fraley UPI Staff Writer MIAMI (UPD Pride Is a per sonal commodity, Arnold Palmer confessed today, which has no price. Two years ago, this being 1962, Palmer was the hottest item in golf since Invention o( the steel shaft. He was the leading money winner In the game but, more im portant, he captured both the U.S. Open golf championship and the coveted Masters. All he made last year was money. Now wait a minute, Palmer cautions. "I won the British Open last year and that's one of the big four." There was a time. But not any more. The British Open today is strictly for the boys from Koko mo, the prestige seekers who can't make It on the big time and go abroad to knock off a flock of patsies and trade on the prestige of the past. But the truth is that the British Open today attracts only those who couldn't finish among the top 20 on the U.S. pro golf tour. Prove the Point Exceptions have been Ben Ho gan, who won It on his only shot; Sam Sncad, who captured it the only time he tried, and Palmer, who finished second by one shot in a rain-swept fluke the first time and went right back to knock it off. Yet the ease of their ac complishments merely serve to prove that it has become a cheap, grab-bag contest in which compe tition is at a minimum. Palmer, despite his rich divot digging in which he participated last year, now has come to realize that he no longer can satisfy him self with "British Open victories." "I know that my game has gone to pot," he admitted after an ex hibition round over his new Coun try Club of Miami course in which he could do not better than finish in a third-place tie with spanking new pro Jack Nicklaus. "I've just been doing too much other stuff. My game has had to suffer." This was an admission that he had become like Oscar of Uie Wal dorf working at a hamburger stand; like Eddie Arcaro exer cising cheap platers, or Picasso painting murals on the walls of cheap saloons simply because the price was right. Back to Work "I'm turning my back on all this other stuff," Palmer insisted. "Right now I'm going out to get my game in shape and I'm setting my sights on the big tourna ments." There Is one he wants above all others and a grand scheme filling out the par-busting pattern. "If there is one tournament I want to win, I guess I'd have to say it was the PGA," frowned the handsome Pennsylvanian. "That's because I've never won It, and it's considered one of the big ones." "But," he smiled boyishly, "I want them all in one year." Meaning that he still entertains the big dream, that of scorning the "big slam" nobody else ever has even thought about. "Why not?" he asked. "If this is your business, you've got U dream of winning the Open, the PGA, the Masters and the British Open all in one year." Starving Now And Palmer finally has ab sorbed the idea that nobody, not even a man with his almost matchless talents, can accomplish this fairway feat without turning his back on the money vaults and playing as if he was starving. "I'm starting right now," he promised grimly. "I'm putting ail this behind me, the easy living, the collaring of those beckoning dollars and the outside interests. That's in my agent's hands now. I'm going back to work with the sticks. "It's not as far away as you might think," he bridled. "After all, I won the Vardon Trophy last year with a low tournament scor ing average of 69.75 strokes per round. But it's not enough." It isn't, either. Arnold Palmer is the man who, according to the evidence at hand, was born to replace Hogan and take the next niche in the line of the golfing im mortals. He is fortunate to have realized soon enough that money isn t the total answer. Ellglo Galicia, Mexican 5,000 and 10,000 - meter record holder, will represent the Bend Athletic Assn. In the second annual Ore gon indoor Invitation track meet in 'Portland January 27. - His coach. Central Oregon Ath letic Director Bob Johnson, had hoped to enter Central Oregon Col lege track man Humberto Rodrig uez In both the 500 and 250-yard runs. The 500 race Is closed to entries, and whether a spot will be found for Rodriguez at this time is still doubtful. Galicia placed third in the Texas Relays last April, running the 5000 meters in 14:58. His only time In the two mile was a 9:0fi at Houston, Texas. He was volcd outstanding male track athlete in Mexico in 1961 and is currently employed at a Bend lumber plant. 40 compete in training camp race A training camp race finished a week of intensive training and in struction Saturday at Bachelor Butte for 40 boys and girls.

Washington State but spurn Ore- gon and Oregon State drew varied reaction today. The report was written by Ore gon Journal Sports Editor George Pasero in a story from Los An geles, where representatives of Big Five schools attended a con' ference with Big 10 members. Spokesmen for Oregon and Ore gon State said they had heard nothing of the report and had been with officials from Washing ton State last week In Portland. They added the report had circu lated before but had not been seriously considered. Pasero quoted Chuck Taylor, assistant athletic director at Stan ford, as saying ". . . that's the way It looks. Our president Is against It but Washington State seems to be the one they're look ing at." Taylor was quoted as adding, "We've been battling for the Ore gon schools. They're the ones we've wanted all along." The three were members c( the old Pacific Coast Confe-ence. The Big Five is made up of other for mer PCC members. Stanford Spokesman Quoted At Stanford, a spokesman for Stanford University President J. E. Wallace Sterling said the school favors the entrance of all three former PCC members Into the Big Five. "Stanford Is for a larger con ference," Fred Glover, Sterling's assistant, said. "We would like to see all three of those former PCC schools Washington State, Ore gon and Oregon State in the Big Five." At Los Angeles, Southern Cali fornia athletic director Jess Hill commented, "Of course we'd like to expand. But wo can't talk about which schools would be in vited to join our organization." "I see where Oregon is planning to build a new stadium," Hill said. "Maybe the Big Five would be Interested in them with a largor stadium. I don't know. Some people have recommended Arizona State. But their stadium isn't very large either." Dr. Norman Topping, president oi the University of Southern California, said it was only a mattor of time before the Big Five expanded. "This whole matter of expan sion has been under discussion for some time," ho said.

(UPD The Big Five took under consideration today a proposal from the Big Ten that the two organizations Celtics too good to hold score By United Press International It's no use, the Boston Celtics are iiist ton eood. Even when Ihey try to keep the score down, they still run up box car figures. That's what happened Tuesday night when coach Red Aucrbaeh kept his regulars on the bench for the entire last quarter, only to watch the Celtic subs do equally as well in a 136-99 crusher over the St. Louis Hawks. The victory was the 30th of the season for the runawa Celtics, who liavo lost only five and now lead the Eastern Division by 8Vs games. Even though Auerbach yanked four of his regulars with five min utes left in the third quarter and Bill Russell left the game at the start of the fourth quarter, seven Boston players still scored in dou ble figures. Tom Hoinsohu led the winners with 2o points in 25 min utes. Bob Pettit of St. Louis was individual high scorer with 36 points. To meet tonight Central Oregon Basketball Offi cials Assn. will meet 7:30 tonight at the Redmond High School. All certified officials are asked to bo present as assignments for Januarv will bo made. again sign a contract to act as foes in the Rose Bowl. Nothing has been signed and nothing will be for the next few weeks. But the chances appeared very strong that the two athletic organizations again would see eye - to - eye on the post season classic and agree to another "open end" contract. The Big Ten proposed a renew al of a contract that was sub stantially the same as it had with the now defunct Pacific Coast - Conference in previous years. This 1 contract banned any team from itlie Big Ten from coming to the Rose Bowl more often than once in two years. The Big Five can send Its champion every year. I Council To Study Bid There is some talk that some I members of the Big Five want the Big Ten to send its champion I every year, . . "' ! "The Big Ten has its prob ilems." said Jess Hill, athletic dl j rector at USC and one of the imen attending the negotiating j sessions. "And wo have ours. eu oe studying tlieir propo sals." Tom Hamilton, executive direc tor of the Big Five, said he would offer the Big Ten proposals to the Big Five Council, which consists of athletic directors and faculty representatives. "I don't know when we'll meet to consider the offer," said Hamil ton, "It probably will be some time after the NCAA meeting in Chicago Jan. 10-12." Predict New Agreement The next regularly scheduled Big Five meeting is in June but it is expected that the decision will be made long before then. Hamilton would make no pre j dictions on whether the Big Five I would accept the Big Ten propo sals. But anotner representative of the Big Five said: - "I lhink you are on the right track if you predict that we'll sign an accord with the Big Ten." The "open end" contract woidd call for a pact that would last I indefinitely. It would require that two years notice would have to I be given by either side before it could be terminated.

(UPD-Ken- tucky was in the market for a new head football coach today on the heels of unexpected action by the school's athletic board remov ing Blanton Collier from the post he held eight years. Collier, under fire from alumni and fans after a 5-5 season this year which included a. loss to arch-rival Tennessee, had three years of a five-year contract left, and when no immediate action was taken at the close of this season it was concluded that Col lier would remain at Kentucky. The decision was : reached by mutual agreement Tuesday when the university offered to buy up the remainder of Collier's con tract for an estimated $50,000. Only last month the board had announced that the rest of his contract would be honored and reaffirmed its support of Collier, Collier, who termed the action "more or less" of a surprise, said "it is my opinion that this is for the best interest of both the university and me." "Football has been my life," the 55-year-old Kentuckian said, "ana right now I feel 1 would like to remain with it if the op portunity presents itself. I w II probably relax for a few weeks before making any decision." There was speculation that Col lier, Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year in his Initial season with Kentucky, would re turn to the Cleveland Browns. He had left a backfield coaching job with the Browns to accept the position at his home state uni versity when Paul (Bear) Bryant went to Texas A&M.

By- Gene Patterson Many of my readers have probably wondered, especial, ly if they're in any way con nected with the building trades, lust why we use the word "penny" when referring to the tiie of a nail. For ex ample, a twopenny nail is one inch long; a threepenny nail is IV4 inches long; a four penny nail, l'i, and so on. Some explain it as having to do with the weight of the nails, but word experts con sider this view as erroneous. The true explanation, they ay, Is that until about 1400, nails were sold In England at so much a hundred, and the price was determined by the size of the nails. Nails sold for tenpence a hundred were tenpenny nails; for sixpence a hundred, sixpenny nails; and so forth. When later on the prlcet changed, the names remained the same, designating site rather than price. LP GAS The "LIVING PLEASURE" . . .
