Can axe Open Title

and Stan Leonard in one of the
feature threeSomes today.
Clarence Doser plays about the
middle of the pack, and John
Eisinger, the Congressional
club champion, is fifth from
last off the tee in his debut in
the Open championship. Doser
is playing in his 18th. and
Clarence could play very well
here.
Nicklaus. the powerfully built
Ohio State Junior, made it look
like a pitch and putt layout.
The clubs he used were so
remarkable they're worth not
ing. 1t should be remembered
that the yardage does not mean
as much because of the mile
high altitude. The ball travels
about Is per cent farther than
at sea level.
Gets Good Distance
The way Nicklaus played the
holes:
1-346 yards, spoon from the
tee and a wedge.
2-410 yards, drive and a
wedge.
3-34S yards, spoon and a
wedge.
4-426 yards, drive and a
9-iron.
5-538 yards, driver, 4-iron
and a wedge.
STA yards, eight iron.
All yards, drive and a
wedge.
8-233 yards, three iron.
$50 yards. drive and a
wedge.
1O-444 yards, drive and an
eight iron.
1853 yards, drive and a
spoon.
12-212 yards, three iron.
1885 yards, drive and a
9-iron.
14-47O yards, drive and a
5 iron.
1916 yards, seven iron.
16-402 yards. safe three iron
of the tee, and wedge.
l7-548 yards, on with a
drive and four iron.
18-468 yards, drive and a
five iron.
On the par four holes Nick
laus used only two clubs over a
wedge. on the 14th, where he
pushed his tee shot, and the
18th, which was a par five until
this week. Now it's a par four.
The wind was at a favoring
position most of the day.
Goodman Won in '33
Take into consideration that
Nicklaus is so young he doesn't
know what it is to freeze on a
4-foot putt. and he appears tc
be the best amateur bet since
Johnny Goodman won in 1898
One thing that Nicklaus has
been doing that the smarter
pros do not do is that he is re-
porting his scores, including g
81 the other day and a SO yes
terday.
The cagier pros don't like tc
make the course look easy ir
practice. because then the
USGA is apt to take extreme
artificial means to toughen it.
On the 18th, a 548-yard pal
five where a moat guards the
green. Beman and the other
members of the foursomes
played short.
Nicklaus boldly, but easily
knocked the ball on with q
drive and four iron.
Look at that" Beman said
shaking his head. Multiply
that advantage by four or five
times a round. which would be
l6 or 20 times in a tournament,
and you see what an advantage
he has over most of u.s."
Deane will be trying to quail
fy for the final So holes for the
first time in five Opens, and he
believes it will take a pair OF
TBS to make it. Only once ir
practice has Deane been over

OPEN GOLF
Continued From Page c.

course IN memory, ana tne cum
ming players and the best put
ters are gaining support.
Veterans Appear Sharp
Sam Snead and Ben Hogan,
whose galleries still top Pal
mer's, would have backing if
the Open was being played in
your back yard. Snead and
Hogan both appear to be play
ing well and thinking sharp.
Ralph Guldahl won by six
strokes here % years ago with
a par score of 284, but the
rough was much higher, and
there were not as many good
players. Only Snead, Paul
Runyan, Dick Chapman and
Ralph Arnold, the host pro,
are back from those who fin
ished in 1888.
There's support for Bill Cas-
per, the defending champion,
and for Dow FinSterwald, Bob
Rosburg, Ken Ventura, Doug
Ford. Gene Littler. Art Wall,
and for Jack Nicklaus, the Ma
tional Amateur champion.
But nobody is positive in
their picks. They want to
hedge, and to see how it goes
in the first round. One popular
thought is that there will be
so many players in contention
Saturday afternoon that a tie
is a distinct possibility.
Scoring should be lower than
in past years because Cherry
Hills starts much easier than
Winged Foot, Southern Hills,
and some of the others. The
players should be more relaxed
and not fighting to overcome
poor starts. A factor against
real low scoring is that brides
are hard to make.
The first seven holes here are
easy holes. The eighth and
ninth can be tough and the
back nine is much more diff
cult. A good front nine is not
going to be any assurance of
a good round.
Palmer, Snead, Nicklaus, ETC.,
probably will not use their
drivers on more than four or
five holes. They can use a three
or four wood, or even a long
iron, on several of the par
fours, and still have only a
nine iron or wedge to reach
the green.
The committee hoped the
rough would be much higher
and more of a factor, but a dry
spell set in after the last cut
ting. and it's not going to grow
much between now and Satur-
day. The green's are on the
hard side, but most of them
hold an approach shot. The
toughest holes are the par
threes.
Bolt Arrives Late
The 18th could decide it. Be-
fore this tournament it was
par S. For this event it is a 4.
and any man who faces that
hole late Saturday evening
needing a 4 to win will have his
work cut out.
Most of the top players con-
cluded practice yesterday with
their lightest work of the week.
Only some of the has-beens
and the club pros were on the
practice tee in the late evening.
Tommy Bolt, the Open cham
pion in 1858 and winner of the
recent Memphis Open in a
playoff over Hogan and Littler,
didn't arrive until noon yester-
day and then threatened to
withdraw. After a poor practice
round Bolt said the mountain
air caused swelling in his hands
and face. 1t could have been
part of Bolts act, but in any
event he certainly has less
less knowledge of the course
than any of the contenders.
The field will be cut to the
low so and ties after tomorrow's
second round. The Open is the
only championship in which
the last two rounds are packed
into the last day.

NEW YORK CITY - The city

ing boycott of its schools in
Manhattan, inaugurated a move to
allow the heavily-concentrated
Negro and Puerto Rican neigh
borhOod pupils to enroll in out
lying districts.
For many years school author
fties ignored the problem of school
segregation resulting from Slum
housing, racial ghettos and bar
rios" and rigid school zoning laws,
Negro parents and neutral educa-
tion experts complained these
schools were inferior insofar as
curricula was concerned. Some
schools had Negro or Puerto Ric-
an enrollments up to 100 per cent.
Only recently parents threatened
to keep their children at home
rather than attend these classes
Making its first move last week.
