Goalby Wins Los Angeles Qpe
Los Angeles - (UPI) - Bub
Goalby, once a reserve quart
erback but now a first string
golfer, today had "lots o
luck," a new putter and Arn
old Palmer to thank for his
biggest win yet - $7,500 ton
prize In the $-15,000 Los An
geles Open.
He captured the big loot
Monday in a stirring head-to-head
stretch drive with crowd
favorite Paul Harney - the
leader at the halfway mark
and going into the final 18.
Goalby broke the slender,
graying, Worchester, Mass.,
pro with a sensational birdie
on the 12th. From there on in,
he played it cool and careful
to make it a waltz, increasing
his winning margin to three
strokes.
He listed his three charms
thusly:
Must Putt Well
-"You've got to have more
than a little luck to win. I
had mine."
-"You never win anything
unless you putt well. I used a
new putter for my last two
tournaments and won them
both."
-"When Arnold Palmer shot
his 12 the U.S. Open Cham
pion had a 12 on the final
hole of his first round which
helped lead to his early elim
inalion, he helped, a lot of us
younger pros."
Goalby, who plans to play
in the San Diego Open this
coming weekend "and just
about every tournament I'm
eligible for this yea r,"
wrapped the tournament on
the par-three, 229-yard 12. He
belled a tee shot 25 feet short
of the hole. Then with a bold
putt, he rammed it home -the
ball hit the lip of the cup,
bounced a foot high in the
air and dropped squarely in.
Nursed Stiff Neck
Harney, who has been nurs
ing a stiff neck throughout
the tournament had his down
fall on the same hole. He
started the day one stroke
ahead of the pack and had
predicted it would take a "08
on my part to win." He made
the turn at the front nine all
. even with Goalby. But he
missed the green with his tee
shot on the 12th, chipped up
short, and missed a 20-foot
putt to fall two strokes off
the pace. This shook him so
much he later picker! up an-
t
other b'yey and finished in a
tic for lourlh.
In second at the finish were
Eric Brown, Glasgow, Scot
land, and Art Wall Jr., Pocono
Manor, Pa., to take $3,325
At 279 with Harney were
Billy Casper, Apple Valley.
Calif., and Ken Venturi of
Hillsborough, Calif. Each of
the three, picked up $2,133

MISSES PUTT Bob Goalbv doesn't have a
backache, but he is in trouble here as these
two pictures illustrate. The winner of the
Los Angeles Open went into painful reac
tion as he missed a 10-foot putt on the 13ih
hole in the final day's play. Goalby won the
$7,500 first prize with a 72-hnle total of 275.

Quarterback Bob Schlorcdt,
one - eyed quarterback who
guided the Washington Hus
kies to two conscculivc Rose
Bowl victories, will play next
season with the British Co
lumbia Lions of the Canadian
Football league.
Tine signing was announced
Monday by Schlorcdt here
and by the Vancouver club.
The Husky signal caller is
resting here after playing
with the West all-stars in Sun
day's Hula bowl in Honolulu.
Schlorcdt was passed up
completely in the NFL draft
and was taken on the 27th
round by Dallas of the Amer
ican league.
He said he was passing up
the opportunity of playing in
the American pro leagues be
cause he feels he is more
adapted for the Canadian
style of play.
Likes to Run '
"I like to run and throw
the roll-out pass," he said. "In
the NFL and AFL, the quar
terback doesn't do much run
ning and when he does pass,
ho goes straight back with no
roll-outs."
Schlorqrit did not disclose
contract terms but said that
he signed for a sizable bonus
and salary as well as a chance
for business opportunity. "I
think 1 got a pretty good
deal," he said.
Schlorcdt dominated the
past two Hose Bowls which
saw the Pacific Coasl gain re
venge on the Big Ten as
Washington whipped Wiscon
sin, 44-8, and Minnesota, 17
7. He was named outstanding
performer in both games.
He was considered a likely
All - American candidate this
season before a midseason in
jury sidelined him until the
Pasadena classic.
Schlorcdt revealed that two
other sought-after Husky
leanimatcs, end Pat Claridge
and guard Bill Kinnune. also
would probably sign with the
Vancouver team. Claridge is
a Canndian.

Corvallis - IUPII - Oregon
State found itself with a date
to fill in its 19(il football
schedule today following an
announcement by Denver uni
versity that it is dropping
football.
The two teams had been
scheduled to play next Nov.
18 at Denver. They also had
a game scheduled here in 1002.
Athletic Director Spec
Keene, in Pittsburgh for the
NCAA meeting, is expected
to try lo line up an opponent

Fleck Happy Following. Sun
Los Angeles illl'll -Handsome
Jack Fleck, sometimes called
Iho "cheese chnmpion" after
he won the U.S. Open Golf
tournament at San Francisco
in 1955, should go down as
the comeback king of 19(H).
The dark-eyed shotmaker is
the most affable and happiest
golfer on the tour these days
bubbling over with good
things In life without a trace
of rancor for some of the
things said about him ader
he won the Open.
But it wasn't always so.
After Fleck beat the great
Ben llogan ln a memorable
playoff for the crown he more
or less returned to the pri
vacy of his club job in Iowa.
The few tournaments he en-i
tend, he fared badly.
Thai's when they started
calling him the "cheese chain-,
pion."
"But 1 never felt anything
like that about winning the
title," says Fleck. "Actually
1 made as much money as
just about anyone has in win-1
ning the National Open. In
fact. I made a lot more than
many because when I won Ihei
title. I wasn't tied tip with
anyone. p,
Bargaining Position , f.'
"The day after the victory, If.
all the big sponsors were H-1 fc.
ling on my doorstep and I t'
was In a fine bargaining poM- f
lion." -
There's no olticiai figure I
on just how much money the
champion makes for winning fc'
the Open. 'Hie general opinion , P
Is tltal it's worth from S40.-T
000 to $100,000. The guess is f
that Fleck made well over -'
$50,000.
than as a club pro," he says.
"My wife urged me lo give
it a whirl. She said 1 had too
much invested In my game
not lo give it a full try. I've
heard older club pros com
plaining thai they wish they
had given the tour a full try
out when they were young
er." So Jack hit (he trail with
Iho follow-tlte-sun boys. He
played in 33 tournaments and
--pleasant surprise won more
than $28,000 in official and
unofficial events.
He was the 18th leading
money winner of (he year.
And it's probably thai, like
must other pros, he picked up
an additional S3, 000 to $10,
(100 in endorsements, exhibi
tions and other personal ap
pearances. "I should have done even
better," he says. "I should
have won at least five tour
naments instead of one. 1
might have won Iho Open but
I dropped six strokes in the
last five holes,
"It was a fine year. And l
plan to slay on the tour a long
while especially if I feel as
healthy as 1 do now and my
game stays strong."
And t h e y call this a
"cheese champion'.'"
