About then, half the scribes were calling their editors lo have their columns on Palmers retirement from competitive golf And until Palmer hacked up the flatlands with his 30, the best story of the day was the going-ou- t toadstool pop-u- p on the seventh hole. Seems that with the warming sun toadstools decided to 7 pop up and they picked the area near the pin on No. to their show tops. balding green It happened about 9:30 a.m., after the greens had been mowed.

Some top football experts from Arizona State country around Phoenix have shown up in this golfland the past few days. It was, therefore, easy to get a reading on just how good Arizona State is and how the local folk feel about their team. If you were a wagerer and wanted points, the difference in the Utah and Arizona State teams right now is 26 points. Thats four touchdowns. And there are plenty of Phoenix folk who are guessing Utah won't stay within five touchdowns. I didnt dare tell anyone I picked the Utes to upset Arizona State. They would contend I have rocks in my head which I might have. But 26 thats a wide spread. points Shy away from local games Some sporting events the gamblers will not touch and that is a game involving any of Nevada high school or college teams. For instance, you could get odds on any game in the nation but the Utah State-U- . of Nevada game. This week Nevada U. is playing Hawaii. The game is not listed on any betting board. Why? Maybe several reasons. In the first place the schools are too close to the gamblers and there is reason to think someone might want to fix the contests. And this would bring inquiry into the legitimacy of bookmaking on sporting events. So gamblers keep their local floors swept clean. It was the same with Calcutta pools in golf. The Calcutta with the old tournament of champions got so big in those first days the gambling thing scared the Professional Golf Association half to death. What happened is what should happen in all directions. The PGA told Las Vegas and others there would be no golf tournament if they staged Calcuttas as part of the c functions, went out the program. Calcuttas, as door and golf breathed a breath of fresh air and Nevada gamblers led out to save the tournaments their Calcutta was one of ihe first to go. semi-publi- Stars fall, host Tams Deseret News special SAN DIEGO Les Selvage, wherever he is, can sleep in peace.
