Theres 13th Was 'Title Hole CLEVELAND (AP) Jack Nicklaus called the 13th hole the turning point in his victory in the 55th PGA National championship Sunday. Until the 13th. it was a golf tournament," he said. He held a advan- e tage over Australian Bruce Crampton, the eventual going to the tee on that hole, which, for this tournament, had been trimmed down to a from a short the toughest 465yard hole on the course. run-neru- par-fiv- e par-fou- Australian Bruce Crampton, Nicklaus playing partner and runner-uin this, the last of the seasons four major championships, seemed more impressed with Nicklaus feat than Jack. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be playing with him, Crampton said. I was to history an being made. It is bordering on the unbelievable that a man only in his early 30s could have accomplished that much that soon and with that ease. Jack said it wasn't easy. The worst place to be is on said. the left. Nicklaus Bruce used a driver and hooked it into the trees. Thats the last place I wanted to be. So I used a three-woooff the tee and put it in the right rough. I had to play a four iron under and around a tree and hit probably my best shot of the round." He put it on the front of the for par green and from some 30 feet d two-putte- d Crampton, meanwhile, was almost out of bounds with his drive, couldnt lake a good stance or swing at the base of a tree and failed to get' it out of the rough. No Place for Gloomy Gus Sports Mirror by John Mooney Tribune Spirts Editor This is the time of the year when the athletic directors and the ticket managers expect the college football coaches to be optimistic for the fans, press and alumni. The competition for the sports, recreation and entertainment dollars is so intense there is no place for the Gloomy Gus prototype of our day. Then, Ike Armstrong, Harry Hughes, Cac Hubbard, Eddie Kimball, Bunny Oakes and Dick Romney could sing the blues and build up every opponent as a certain defeat for their teams on the schedule. e list of Ike, for example, ranks 50th on the an never had but football coaches, Kickapoo winning tell it. him to hear easy game, In those days, with Utah having the only game in town, Ike could poor mouth his teams chances, and the fans would snicker and still turn out to see the contest on Saturday. Sometimes the coaches playing for the Rocky Mountain or Skyline conference championships could appear so pessmistic the very best their boosters could hope for in the title clash was a scoreless tie. A de- p Jones, who retired after his Grand Slam season of 1930, built his total of 13 with four U.S. Opens, five U.S. Amateurs, three British Opens, one British Amateur. Other leading players and their major tournament victory totals are: Walter Hagen 11, Ben Hogan 9, Sam Snead 7, Im But I hope to win quite a few more.

Changing World In recent years, much of this pessimism has changwi, for the better, with the coaches adopting a more honest approach to the potential. Coaches have been forced into adopting the optimistic mein to sell tickets. The big talk can backfire when the team doesnt live up to the optimistic approaches of the coaches, and sometimes a coach who finishes with a bare winning record against a truly tough schedule faces the ire of the alumni, who allowed themselves to be oversold on the prospects. Like Duffy Daugherty, the former Michigan State coach, noted in his speech before the Football Writers in Chicago. This cowboy rode into this tough Western cowtown, Duffy recalled. He stopped by the saloon and when he came out, his horses tail was painted green. The stranger was furious and he loosened his six saloon. guns in his holsters as he stormed back into the , Facing the assembled cowpokes, he snarled, All nc Gr 9 e I grew up hearing of Jones and his Grand Slam and his 13 maior victories," Nicklaus has told friends, and I decided I wanted to beat him He did Sev en Under came on The a 277 total, seven under par on the warm and sunny, Golf Canterbury Club course It came by a convincing four strokes over Australian Bruce Crampton, who finished with a 70 and 2M total. record-breake- 6.S52-var- Passes Jones endary 6- 01 right, whos the dirty rat who painted my horses tail green?

I just wanted to ted the first coat of paint is dry now, if you want to that you put on a second coat, Duffy laughed. Now, And it came in typical Nicklaus fashion: an unrelenting, errorless application of pressure to his opponents ui this, the last of the years Big Four tournaments. He started the day's play with a advantage over Mason Rudolph and Don Iverson, who was experiencing his first exposure to the pressure of major championship play. Nicklaus built the lead to three strokes with consecutive birdies on the sixth and seventh holes. Crampton, who four titles has accumulated this year and tops the seasons moneywinning list, challenged briefly, drifted back with bogeys on the 13th, 15th and 17th holes, but claimed second alone with a dramatic on the 18th e single-strok- ' xv When Nicklaus Hew a secshot over trees to the green, then rolled in a uphill putt on the 15th hole, he suddenly had a lead and it was all but over . . . Luck of the Draw Toros Rip Angels in then on it was a scramble for second place. Jack made a meaningless bogey at the 18th hole, putting his drive in the rough, missing the green with his second, from the then front fringe. Crucial Birdie From three-puttin- g Crampton birdied the last hole from about 12 feet to vault the stricken past Rudolph, who made double bogey on the same hole. He put his second m a bunker, just got it out, chipped four feet past the cup and missed it to fall back into a tie for third at 284.
