SKCTION n
Palmer, Nicklaus Play Together
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sporti Editor
Newtown Square, Pa. -4UPI
Arnold Palmer weni after his
"three-quarter" slam today
and the betting was 2-1 that
he will accomplish it by win
ning the PGA golf champion
ship. Palmer, the overwhelming
favorite, was scheduled to
play with U.S. Open champ
ion Jack Nicklaus and Dave
Marr. It was the luck of a
"blind draw" which put Pal
mer and the second choice,
the 3-1 Nicklaus, in the same
threesome.
They also had played to
gether in the first two rounds
of the U.S. Open last month
and then in the Western
Open.
There was some eyebrow
raising when it was learned
that Palmer and Nicklaus
had been drawn to play to
gether again.
"It makes no difference to
me,'' said Palmer, who has
won the Masters and the Brit
ish Open championships, and
just missing winning th U.S.
Open which he lost in a play
off with Nicklaus. "I enjoy
playing with the big dude.''
Nicklaut Happy
Nicklaus was happy about
the pairings too.
"I think Arnie is the great
est and when you play with
him head to head - well you
know just where you stand.
You are playing with "v. guy
you know you have to beat."
Bob Rosburg, one of the
former 13 PGA champions in
the field, shuffled the entry
cards from which Palmer and
Nicklaus were drawn.
"Believe me, I shuffled
them well." said Rosburg, "no
. t A ft -t t'frSXf a
fn 4 Ti.'W ttt vs.
one could have been more
surprised when the draw
came and Palmer and Nick
laus were in the same three
some." Be that as it may, - and it
is certain to be a crowd pleas
er in the opening round of
this four day tournament -there
were 168 other golfers
in the field in addition to Pal
mer. Nicklaus and Marr. De
fending champion Jerry Bar
ber, who said he had "two
chances'' in this big one, and
little South African Gary
Player, were quoted at 5-1
followed by Billy Casper at
61, Dow Finsterwald at 8-1,
former U.S. Open champion
Gene Littler at 10-1 and dark
horse Phil Rodgers at 15-1.
Says Chances Slim
Barber described his two
chances as "very slim and
none at all."
"I just can't hit with the
big boys." he explained "And
1 can't putt with them either.
That Casper - he's the best
putter in the business. And
Palmer is right up there, too.
That's why he's winning so
much."
But Barber didn't putt bad
ly last year when he won the
PGA title. He sank putts of
20, 40 and 60 feet on the last
three greens to lie Don Jan
uary and then went on to
beat him in the playoff.
Barber plays with January
- another freak in the "blind
draw" - and Jackie Burke, a
former PGA king.
Player plays with Rodgers
and old Sam Sncad. trying
for his fourth PGA title. Cas
per goes off with Art Wall,
the former Musters champion,
and Tommy Boll, a former
U S. Open tilleholdcr.
Palmer, playing in the
heavy rain which swept the
7.040-yard Aroniniink golf
course Wednesday, warmed
up with a one under par 69.
Snead w-as three over.
The field will be cut to the
low 90 and ties after the sec
ond round on Friday and to
the low 60 and ties for the
final round on Sunday.
CBS will lelevife Satur
day's play from 5 to 6 p.m.
(EDT) and Sunday's play
from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Bob Taylor Says:
My sales manager, Herb Hunt, is determin
ed to sell all these cars before we move
to our new location. He's cut the prices
and offering high trade-ins, low monthly
payments, and easy terms. I think he's
trying to out sell my crew and I won't let
that happen even if I have to give my cars
away. So now's the time to buy that NEW

OK NEW and USED! GARS and TRUCKS
Newtown Square, Pa. lUPP -His
best trick shot, Paul Hahn
admits, thrilled the spectators
hut he had to Rive it up be
cause "it scared the hell out
of me."
He pulled il off more than
2.000 limes without a miss in
rxhihitinns around the world.
A volunteer would lie flat
with the ball sitting up on a
Ice held between the teeth.
Then Hahn would swing
with deadly concentration -sending
a half pound of club
head against the ball at a
speed of 1 10 miles per hour.
The handsome, black-haired
Hahn's beautiful wife was his
steadiest assistant. But he did
the trick on many courageous
volunteers who know of his
fantastic prowess in the trick
shot department.
One such, on television, was
Garry Moore Hahn's insur
ance company caught the
how that night and cancelled
his protective poliry. Moore's
wile saw it. too. "You don't."
Mrs. Mnore said in a quick
and frantic call to the studio.
have lo do that to make a
living. We can sell apples."
People Bugged Him
Then it got to the point
where people, as Hahn says,
were "bugging ' him about the
dij-asJrous possibilities should
he miss Even Ben Hngan told
him it was too dangerous.
Hahn believed it. too. when
in an exhibition at Augusta
somebody spoke as he was
starting the down swing and
momentarily broke his enn
crniratinn. "I knew I out of the
groove." he said grimly. "And
when I helped my wife up,
she said 'My lip is numb'."
It cost him his confidence
and he started lo "top" the
ball which, at least, was much
better than taking a dental
divot. But finally he gave il
up.
Hahn's show is exceptional
without it, as he proved in one
of the features preceding the
PGA golf championship at
Aronimink Golf Club Good
enough to put him. it is es
timated in the $150,000 a year
income bracket. He also flies
his own plane and has made
four trips around the world
with his one-man show.
I Which isn't bad for a man
, who, before putting together
I his profitable specialty, tried
I the pro tour for two years,
i "and didn't make enough
j money to mark my ball."
The difference between
t Hahn and the touring pro is
i that the personable Paul
keeps up a running dialogue
with his shots while the aver
age pro freezes if a bee
belches. People ak him how
j he can hit the ball while talk
ing and his answer is that he
j can't hit it if he doesn't
i They also ask continually
i why he gave up his most (a
1 mous trick of hitting the hall
off a volunteer's fare
"I've got a four-word an
swer," he admits with a grin
t which lacks conviction. 'I
i lost my guts "
i And. this being the 13th
year in which he has been on
I the trirk shot circuit, he isn't
j likely to try it again now.
