HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Fall, Oit. Friday, Ffhrutr? 1, 196J PACE 11 Jack Nicklaus Palm Springs Leading Classic PALM SPRINGS, Calif. I PH Jack Nicklaus, ailing National Open champion, is in tile perfect position to win his first golf tour nament of the young 1963 cam paign. He not only leads the Palm Springs golf classic going into the third round today, but he's sick "And sickness means success in golf. The worse Byron Nelson. Ben Hogan and others felt, the better they played golf and Nicklaus seems to fall into the same category. He has a 36-hole score of 135 despite the fact that he is sudor tag from bursitis in his hip. "And if I win this tournament," he says, "it will be ridiculous. I just don't feel that good." Burly Jack leads by one stroke after firing a six-under-par 6fi at the Tamarisk golf course. That gave him a one-stroke lead over another member of the "big five," Gary Player, and an un heralded youngster named Bob Shave, who have scores of 136. While other members of the bi; five fell slightly off the pace Arnold Palmer and Gene Littler each had 143), Nicklaus created a masterpiece on the tough Tam arisk course Thursday with his six-under-par effort. He was out in &, but came roaring back in 31. He had seven birdies against one bogey. He knocked in a pair of 20-foot putts and several from 10 feet or bet ter. Even with his excellent shot- making Nicklaus isn c running away from anybody. Player has been brilliant with his approach- John Barnum Takes Lead In Seniors PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. IUPH Big John Barnum. the six-fool, five-inch giant from Grand Rap ids who is known as a hot first round man, stalked out today in an attempt to preserve a one-shot lead in the PGA Seniors golf championship. The 51 -year-old Bamum, who led the first round of the regular PGA championship at Philadel phia last year with a 66 before "the roof fell in," matched that at the 7.010-yard, par 72 Port St. Lucie Country Club Thursday with a 34-3266 by firing birdies on the final three holes. Conditions were perfect on a ann, sunny, windless day but while Barnum finished the first round one shot ahead of a 67 by Herman Barron of Palm Beach and two ahead of another three some, it was a dismal afternoon lor defending champion Paul Runyan. "Little Poison." seeking his third straight Teachers trophy and the $19,000 first money, as well as a trip to Scotland to meet Britain's senior champion, had putting miseries which started "him olf with a 36-10-76. It was a gloomy day, too. for some of the other tee tourists of the past in this classic for pros ."'0 years and older. Former PGA champions Vic Ghezzi and Jim Turncsa started wilh a respective 74 and 75: long hitting Jimmy Thomson had a 78 and Horton Smith carried an 85. The "no shows" included former champion Gene Saraen. Jimmy Demaret. Dutch Harrison and Ellsworth Vines. ing irons and if his putts would drop he might run from the field. "I'm playing better than I'm scoring," said the PGA cham pion. Shave, a 26-year-old pro from Willoughby. Oliio, who hasn't won a nickel this year, had fine nines of 32-37 for his 69 Thursday. Next in line came Johnny Pott, Tommy Aaron and first-day co leader Harold Kneece, each with 137. Bruce Crampton of Australia ,had a 68 for 138. Sam Snead was well off the pace with a pair of 72s for 144. Gray Little Out To Prove Point By OSCAR FRAI.EY I PI Sports Writer PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (UPH (iray Little, a reformed sports- writer with a passion for oil painting and a beat up putter he found on a shelf in his shop. set out today to prove that you don't have to be a "name" to be a good pro golfer. Little has been a golf pro 24 years at the Lake Charles, La., Golf and Country Club. Until now his chief claim to fairway fame was that he taught Alvin Dark, manager of the San Francisco Giants' National League champs, how to hit a golf ball. But the lean, red-haired Little showed his fellow pros, too, Thurs day in the first round of the PGA Seniors golf championship when he fired a four under par 68 that left him just two strokes behind leading John Barnum of Grand Rapids. "He just couldn't wail to turn 50 so he could play in this tourna ment." smiled his pert little wife, Nadine. "Well." said the grinning Gray, It'll show our boys something." Needled Father on Score They have two sons, 15 and 11 years old. and when pappy shot an 86 in a recent tournament the lads gave it to him good. An all-around athleie h his na tive Beaumont. Tex., Gray was bitten by the golf bug when he started to caddy and gradually the other sports interests fell by the wayside. Nor is it quite fair to class him as an "unknown." be cause Little has captured the Louisiana proiessional crown three times and also won the Lake Charles Open. Gray turned 50 last October and qualified, at last, for Hie PGA Seniors in which he is mak ing his first start. Most people hate to get 40 and then feel like it's all over for them when they turn 45," interjected Mrs. Little. "But you never in all your lite ever saw anybody happy that he was linally 50 years old." Wife Retires From Job Mrs. Little has helped Gray in his golf shop. But on his Christ mas tree the last time Santa teed off was a formal announcement to him. She retired. "All I do from now on." she advised him, "is write out the checks." Little served in Europe dur ing World War II with the Scv enth Army and is proud of the fact that he finished fifth to win ner Lloyd Mangrum, the former U.S. Open champion, in the ETO championship at St. Cloud, out side Paris. A basebal fan who thinks nothing of driving all the way to Houston to see the Colts perform, in the past two years he has turned to oil painting as a hobby. 'Sorry I didn't try it sooner," he said. "I think I'm pretty good." He's "pretty good" with that old putter, too. Like in the first round, when he knocked in five birdie putts up to 25 feet. It painted for him a riht pretty picture in a tournament where some of the old "name" pros were chopping it up pretty good. Ramirez Tods Ed Andrews RENO. Nev. H'PIi Frankie Ramirez of Los Angeles scored a unanimous lo-round decision Thursday night over a rusty Ed die Andrews in a blood-spattered middleweight bout. It was Andrews' second fight since he returned to the ring after a year layoff and the once high ranked contender still seemed rusty. Ramirez was much faster than his harder-hitting foe. He stayed outside and landed jabs at will. The cards read 49-45, 50-41, and .50-44 for Ramirez, who weighed I.V). Andrews, now fighting out of Reno, weighed 154. There were no knockdowns, but Andrews was badly cut during the tight and Ramirez also re ceipted for a cut above the eye so that blood flowed freely in tlic later rounds.
