(L'PI .Jack Nicklaus and other mem bers of Rolfs "bis live'- lefl the California gold rush today head ins for Arizona in the hope of striking another bonanza. Thj National Open king sub dued Gary Player with such ease in the playoff (or the Palm .Springs Golf Classic champion ship Monday that he automati cally takes on the mantle of fa vorite to win the Phoenix Open starting Thursday. With five tournaments under their belts, the touring profes sionals have watched members of the "big live'' in four of them. Arnold Palmei won at Los Angeles, Player at San Diego. Billy Casper the Crosby at Peb ble Beach, and then Nicklaus here. The only title lo escape them was the San Francisco Lucky International, won by vet eran Jackie Burke. The other member of the "big five," Gene Littler, hasn't won yet. But he finished off the Palm Springs event by shooting the lowest round of the tourney, a 64 and appears ready to step into title competition in Arizona. Pocket The Purses The five men, in addition to winning four or five titles, have captured $54,023 of the $210,000 purses offered. With nearly 100 pros on the winlei tour, that leaves slim pickings for the rest of the crew. Nicklaus, who at one time had decided lo skip Palm Springs be cause of bursitis in his hip, had been having a rough year for him on the tour before he hit the jack pot here. He had won only $2,fifi5 in four tournaments before he picked up the first place check here Mon day by firing a beautiful, six-un-der-par 65 to trounce Player by eight strokes. "I said earlier that it would be ridiculous for me to win here with a bad leg," said Nicklaus. "And it still goes. I was lucky. I didn't play nearly as well here as I have in many other tourna ments." He had blown a five-stroke lead on Sunday during the fifth round of the tournament.

It was the first loss in 10 Oregon Collegiate Conference games. The Owls still command the league easily with a 9-1 record. Another win Wedncs day night would put them one step closer to their third straight title. But the revenge-minded Red Raiders of Southern Oregon, who really have been taking their lumps lately after being side tracked from a winning streak by the Owls in the middle of Janu ary, will be out to beat the Owls now (hat they have found that they are not invincible without some members of the "iron-man five." The Owls hipped the Red Raid ers handily in the last two con testa by taking the game at Owl Gym by 96-92 and the game at Ashland hy 87-78. Tlie Owls were well on their way lo scoring- over 100 points in the home game when Coach Jim Partlow pulled his first unit and inserted substitutes for Ihe remainder of the game with a 14-point lead and two and a half minutes left in the game. The Ashland team almost caught up against the subs. Coach Partlow knows that ev- cry team is now after the Owls! desperately and tins game, a real dog fight every time the two I'ubs tangle, will be no exception, 'ihe Red Haiders are virtually out of the race for second place spot berth with the Owls ineligible to compete in tournament play. So they may be out to sidetrack the Owl express. Coach Partlow will go with his usual starting lineup which eludes Smith al center, Anderson and Norm Johns at forwards and Hewlett Nash and Van Zitek at guards. Anderson led the league in scor nig going into the Portland State Series but had only 13 points in the second and losing came. An derson .was third in scoring going into the league and may have picked up some slightly. All five Owl starters are aver aging in the double ligurcs in league play.

U was the first game they've been out re bounded. The Red Raiders will counter with a not-so-tall group but one which hits the basket well. The Owls will have to stop the offer ings of Dave Hughes, who was among the top five scorers go ing into the weekend. Also a top scorer is forward Jerry Shults. The other throe probable starters for the Red Raiders will be Larry Hink, Ed Hill and Bad Flanary. The Owls haven't lost a game 10 Southern Oregon in the last 10 meetings.

That elevation placed Clay, ol Louisville, Ky., in the slot from which he can challenge the win ner of the return April title fight between champion Sonny Liston and top contender Floyd Patter son. Liston took the crown from Floyd on a first-round knockout at Chicago Sept. 25, and if he beats Patterson again at Miami Beach on April 4 or 10 big Sonny will be looking for a challenger who can draw important money. Clay is slated for the stiffest lest of his career on March 13 against fifth-ranking Doug Jones of New York at Madison Square Garden.
