    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.

t
tory here could put him the
closest he may ever come to
his golfing dream-a slam of
the Masters, the U. 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.

Crampton Eyes

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

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.
