Everyone Picks Palmer To Win PGA-Except Palmer By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sporti Editor Newtown Square, Pa. (UPII All the golfers-except one-say it is Arnold Palmer against the field in the PGA cham pionship starting Thursday on the Aronomink golf course. The exception? Arnold Pal mer himself. "I've got 173 other golfers to beat," Palmer said after playing his first practice round over the long course in "about even par." "I can just tell you one thing-I have the desire." After all, he explained, vie- Mrs. Skala Ties In Wichita Golf Wichita, Kan. - (I'PD - Mrs. Carol Jo Skala of Roscburg, Ore., shot a par 72 Monday to tie Mrs. Natasha Fife of Wich ita for medalist in the 32nd annual Women's Trans-Mississippi Golf tournament at the Wichita Country club. Mrs. Skala, a 24-year-old housewife, played the course for the first time Monday. She missed a Sunday practice round when heavy rains closed the course. The Oregon housewife was one under par on the front nine holes. She missed the 11th green and took a bogey, ending the day with a par. Match play begins today be tween the top 64 qualifiers of today's rounds. Mrs. Skala shot 34-38-72. Sikes Returns Town of Tonawanda, N. Y. - It'PIl - Cagy Dick Sikes, who borrowed a set of irons and used them to capture his sec ond straight U. S. Amateur Public Links golf title, has gone home . to Arkansas to prepare for the National Am ateur. "I plan to compete in the National Amateur at Pine hurst, N.

S. and British Opens and the PGA. He has won the Masters and the British Open but lost the U. S. Open in a playoff with Jack Nicklaus. "I'm going to keep shooting for all four," he said, "and if I make it three this year-well, it will only add to my desire to make it four next year." The closest he ever has come was in 1961 when he won the Masters and the Brit ish Open-the crowns he al ready has in the bag this year. But in between he blew the U. S. Open-just as he did this year-and then tied for fifth in the PGA in 1961. Notes Two Problems He figures he has two prob-lems-an ailing back which "is feeling much better" and an adjustment to the bigger U. S. ball, compared to the small ball he used in winning the British Open by a record score. "I'm not worried about my back," he said, "as much as I am about adjusting to the larger ball. But if desire will do it, count me in." Just to show what kind of desire he has: He arrived in New York City on Saturday from his tri umph in Troon, flew his own airplane to his home in Ligo nier, Pa., later the same day, and then decided to rest on Home hard-fought 2 and 1 victory over Hung Soo Ahn of Hono lulu, Hawaii, Saturday. The triumph at the Sheri dan Park Golf course gave the 22-year-old University of Arkansas senior the Standish Trophy two years running only the second man to ac complish the feat. Sikes won the Public Links crown in Detroit last year in his first try. Unhappy With Play Sikes said he started using the borrowed clubs during Wednesday's second round cf match because he was unhap py with his play. Sikes adjusted quickly to the new clubs and rolled over four opponents to reach the payoff 36-hole match against Ahn. "I know I hit better in the title match," he said. "My long game started to come around Friday." But it was his putting that turned the tide when Ahn threatened to unseat him. Sikes, neck-and-neck with Ahn through 18 holes Satur day, counted two birdies and an eagle in carding a 2-under par 69 for the morning round. Fires Fivo Birdies Sikes fired five birdies, in cluding an eye-opening 35 foot chip shot on the 32nd hole, to destroy Ahn's bid for his first public links conquest in seven attempts. "That shot was the turning point," Sikes admitted after the match. "But Ahn still had a chance on the 34th." The 32-year-old Hawaiian, still 2-down, poked his tee shot within 3 feet of the pin on the 34th but missed the crucial birdie putt. The match ended on the next hole. SAVE NOW DURING SAVINGS! Our new ur Mill art tht livings en to you. Wo'vi got l you. A DIVIDEND DEAL on ovory PARSONS MOTORS, Sunday, "because I was aw fully tired." Decides To Practice He still was tired when he got up Monday morning, but decided to come here "to test this course for size." "I found it all right," he added. "I used a lot of balls on each hole and I guess my best ball would have been two under. But just let's say I shot par." Par for the 7,045-yard course is 35-35-70. Palmer never has won this one-as a matter of fact he never has won a big one in his home state of Pennsylvania. The closest he ever came was in that playoff for the U. S. Open title last month at Oak-mont-only a long drive pr maybe two or three from his home in Ligonicr. Now he's about 250 miles away and there are 173 other golfers in the field trying to win it, too. Like Palmer they also have desire. But unlike Palmer, they may not have the game to go along with it. Sanderlin Is Tennis Champ Portland - IUPU - Unherald ed Dave Sanderlin of San Di ego, a 19-year-old sophomore at UCLA, won the men's sin gles championship of the Ore gon state tennis tournament here Sunday. Sanderlin, who was seeded seventh, defeated second seeded Chuck Rombeau of Los Angeles 1 1-9, 5-7, 7-9, 6-3, 7-5 in the finals. Rombeau, also 19, is a stu dent at the University of Sou thern California. Faye Urban, of Windsor, Ont., topped Vicki Berner of Vancouver, B. C, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 for the women's singles title. Earl Brooks of Klamath Falls and Steve Foster of North Hol lywood, Calif., won the sen ior and junior men's singles crowns.

Crampton Eyes PGA Tourney By CLARK HALLAS Birmingham, Mich. - (UPII -Bruce Crampton wishes it were so, but he doesn't think anything can persuade Arnold Palmer to stay out of the country. The 25-year-old "iron man from Sydney, Australia, turn ed sights to the PGA cham pionship at Newton Square. Pa., next stop on the pro golf circuit, after staging a Palmer type finish to win the $39,000 Motor Cily Open here Sunday by three strokes. Crampton, his spirits buoy ed by his first victory since the lflfll Milwaukee Open, will find the competition at Aronlmink Golf club-site of the PGA-a bit stiffer than he found on Knollwood Country club's shallow rough and flat greens here. Palmer, fresh from his British Open victory, is seek ing "three-quarter" grand slam the Masters, British Open and PGA. 'I wish it were so that he Isn't back," Crampton joked. "But there isn't enough money to keep that man out of the country." Crampton's victory enabled him to qualify for the PGA and the $5,300 first prize Sunday was the 14th lime in his last 15 starts that he has pocketed paycheck. TRADE PACTS SIGNED Geneva - OTU - Representa tives of 28 governments ligned world trade liberaliza tion agreements Monday worth an estimated $4 9 bil lion, il waa renortrd here. In- formed sources described the accord as the biggest interna tional move toward liberal ized world trade since the General Agreemrnl on Tanfls and Trade (GATT) was drawn U ianq ! ltV7. Lucas To Play With Cleveland Columbus. Ohio-.t'PD - In a move nearly as smooth and decisive as those he displayed on the basketball court, three time Ail-American Jerry Lu cas announced Monday that he will play In the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Cleveland Pipers. Lucas, who had rejected the NBA for a crack at the Amer ican Basketball league (ABL), said he was "a little more ex cited about the NBA than the ABL." The Pipers switched to the NBA from the ABL last week with Lucas, obviously, as one of the key selling points. The Pipers also announced that Bill Sharman had declin ed to return as coach of the team next season. Lucas said he would move to Cleveland early in Septem ber. "1 plan to finish my schooling next spring," the Ohio State University star said. The NBA's earliur starting date, which conflicted with his plans to attend Ohio State during the fall quarter, had been one of the chief reasons for turning down an offer Lfrom the Cincinnati Royals. The big center said the terms of the contract he sign ed six weeks ago with the Pipers would be rewritten. He added that: "I'm satisfied." Lucas had spent the week end in Cleveland with Pipers President George Stcinbren ner, discussing the league switch. II was not known then whether the 6-8 star would go along wilh the Pipers. Sharman gave as his reason for withdrawing the difficulty in moving his family to Cleve land from the West Coast. The former Boston Celtics star had coached the team during the second half of the season. He coached and played for the Los Angeles Jets, who folded in the first half. The ABL had counted on the signing of Lucas to act as a tonic to help put it on its feet financially. At present, it appears the ABL is dead with the switch of the champion Pipers and Lucas to the NBA despite some statements to the contrary.
