bined squad of 25 competitors as
they enter the 34th Annual Texas
Relays.
A&M will be only one of 22
universities repi'esenting 10 states
that will be on hand to better some
already outstanding marks.
Olympians Eddie Southern and
Stone Johnson will appear in spe
cial events that might bring rec
ords in the open class.
A score of records loom as more
than 1,200 athletes arrive for the
massive Relays today and Satur-

Rosburg-Palmer Tie
In Master Opener
By The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Erratic Bob
Rosburg copied Arnold Palmer’s
patented finish Thursday in the
opening of the 25th Masters Golf
Tournament and gained a tie with
power-hitting Palmer for the
first-round lead.
Each shot a 4-under-par 68 on
a wet, uncomfortable day when
par at Augusta National resisted
all but a few efforts to break it.
Palmer, whose birdies in the
last two holes of the final round
H year ago brought his second
Masters title, was out in front
all the way Thursday. Starting
with a birdie on the second hole,
he posted a steady string of the
tred figures that indicate under-
par totals on the Masters score-
board.
Rosburg, a pudgy Californian
with an unorthodox “baseball”
grip, got his 68 by shooting bird
ies on four of the last six holes,
one on a 100-foot putt. Up to
that time, he had been shooting
even par and was hardly rated
one of the first-round contenders.
Those two were only a stroke
ahead of Gary Player, the slight
but strong South African who says
he has added 25 yards to the dis
tance of his drives since last year.
Two strokes back at 70 was Jack
Nicklaus, the muscular 1959 U.S.
amateur champion.
Five Teams May
Vie for NL Flag
By WARREN G. GILES
President of the National League
Written for
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI—It seems almost
a certainty that the eight clubs
of the National League will make
up an extremely well-balanced
league and anyone of five teams
appears to have a reasonable
chance to win the pennant.
This 1961 season, of course, very
likely will be the last one in which
our 86-year-old league will oper
ate with eight clubs—at least for
some years to come. Houston and
New York have been granted fran
chises to begin operation in 1962.
In past years I have made pre
dictions of .an interesting and ex
citing season. They have been
made to look good by the perform
ances of our clubs in staging the
hard fought pennant races which
the fans, find so entertaining.
Last year fans set an all-time
attendance record for the National
League with 10,684,963 paid ad
missions.
Prospects for an interesting and
exciting race are every bit as
good as we eagerly await the start
of the 1961 season. I saw all eight
of our clubs in action during the
spring training season, and never
have I seen more enthusiasm and
genuine optimism than was evi
denced by our clubs this spring.
The champion Pirates are confi
dent they can repeat and have a
right to that confidence. They
won the pennant and the World
Series like champions last year,
always rising to the occasion to
win the “big game.”
Nevertheless, the Pirates have
their work cut out in defending
their title in a tough, well-bal
anced league. And they know it!
The Braves, Cardinals and Dodg
ers are just as confident they can
win and, although not a great deal
of “pennant talk” was heard
aroud the Giant camp, it’s no
secret that the Giants feel they
can go “all the way.” A number
of neutral observers share that
opinion.
That’s why I said earlier that
ony one of five appear to have
a reasonable chance to win the
pennant.
The Reds, Cubs and Phillies
aren’t making any such claims,
but all feel they have improved.
From first place through eighth
we could enjoy one of the tightest
pennant races in the NL’s 86-year
history.
day that will feature a flock of
Olympians and should spotlight
Abilene Christian as the heaviest
winner.
Southern, the former Texas
star and Olympian now in the
Air Force, will try to lower his
record for the 400-meter hurdles
of 51.0, set last year. He will have
plenty of tough competition, head
er by Don Styron of Southern Il
linois, holder of the world low
hurdles record of 21.9.
Southern also will run in the
special 100-meter dash against
Johnson, the Grambling star who
was fifth in the Olympic 200 me
ters; Dave Styron of Southern
Illinois, twin brother of the illus
trious Don, and Ralph Alspaugh,
the Texas flash.
Quarter-miler Earl Young, who
ran on the winning U. S. 1,600-
meter relay team at Rome, will
anchor Abilene Christian’s 440-
yard and mile relay teams, which
are expected to set records.
The 1,500-meter run will pair
two more Olympians—Ernie Cun-
liffe, formerly of Stanford and
holder of the indoor record for
1,000 yards, and Mike Wiggs of
Southern Illinois, who competed
in the Olympics for England. Cun-
liffe says he’s not only going
after the Texas Relays record of
3:52.6, but the American record
of 3:40.9, held by Dyrol Burleson.
A record in the 120-yan} high
hurdles is likely, especially if Ray
Cunningham of Texas is able to
compete. Cunningham, who did
13.8 and 13.9 last year and has
skipped to 14.0 this season, has
been out for several weeks with
a leg injury, but may be able to
go tomorrow. Calvin Cooley of
Abilene Christian and Rex Stuck-
er of Kansas State, each with a
14.0 this year, also are entered.
A&M’s varsity entires are in
Tied at 71—the only other par
breakers—were 49-year-old Byron
Nelson, who won the Masters in
1937 and 1942; and three mem
bers of golf’s regular touring bri
gade—Doug Ford, Paul Harney
and Johnny Pott.
If was a day when strength
helped on the sprawling 6,980-yard
par 36-36—72 Augusta National
course. Rain slowed the course
and the greens a bit but didn’t
make it really soggy.
