RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer A quarter of a century ago golf was trying to solve the problem of top players skipping its tourna ments. It’s still trying and there appears small prospect of success unless the players are put under contract and told to play in certain tour naments. This project seems too big to tackle. A golfer would have to get about $25,000 a year as a guaran tee and with the number of play ers that would have to be paid, the cost would run over $1,000,000 a year. That’s almost as much as the tournaments put up as prize money. The reason there is need for to guarantee the pest players for the tournaments is this: a tourna ment can’t draw the paying crowds if it has the lesser lights. Two big names that stay away can make the difference in profit and loss. The PGA has some rules that help but don’t accomplish the full objective. It tells the golfers in certain categories, such as being among the top money-winners, tournament winners, etc., that they can not play in a tournament that Texas T Deptli in Individual batting and pitching champponships were won by the opposition, but the University of Texas baseball team that beat Arizona this week in the District 6 playoff had m<\~e depth in talent as it entered the throneroom for the 37th time in the 47-year history of the Southwest Conference. Sophomores monopolized the hit ting honors as the league developed into a hitting league in contrast to the 1960 campaign. Odessa’s Ronnie Goodwin, Baylor’s sopho more third baseman, won the in dividual batting championship in conference play with a .419 mark and also led for the full-season with a .391 figure. Terry Cobb, Texas A&M’s soph omore second baseman from Beau mont, crowded Goodwin for each honor. Cobb was runner-up in league play at .414 and had .388 over the full route. Bob Barnett, senior righthander for Baylor’s runner-up, led the pitching with a won-lost record of, 5-0 and had the only impressive ERA figure at 2.55 for conference play and 2.13 for the full season. He was unbeaten over the route and carded eight victories. Texas’ Tom Belcher, last year’s confei'ence leader at 6-0, is still un beaten in conference competition after posting a 4-0 mark this year. Teammate Terry Jackson and TCU’s Phil Reynolds, the basket ball star, were the only other un defeated pitchers as they achieved 2-0 records. TCU’s Don Schmidt, a southpaw, was the busiest pitcher as he work ed 79 1 /3 innings for the season and 54 j /3 in league play. A&M’s Rob ert Collins worked fewer innings in league play but he appeared in 14 of A&M’s 15 conference games and worked in 19 of the 25 over the full campaign. Sophomore Chuck Knutson of Texas, Leon Baze of TCU and David Skinner of Texas dominated the individual departments. Skin ner led in hits (26), runs scored (27) and triples (3). Knutson was Added Talent Be well groomed for success That “like new” look we give your clothes is sure to make the right impressions whether you’re on the job or on the town. CAMPUS CLEANERS tops in runs batted in (27), total bases (54) and was runner-up to Baze, who led in home runs with 11, and shared runner-up honors with Teammate Bill Bethea in number of doubles. Cobb led with seven. SEASON Team Ga W L T Pet.

But it doesn’t tell the golfer he has to play in the approved tournament. It can’t do it. The golfer pays his own expenses and entry fee and he claims the right to play whenever he pleases so long as he keeps his commit ments. Which would appear to be correct. But that puts the sponsor in a hole. It is up to him whether a golfer skips his tournament and plays in a tournament with con flicting dates. But the golfer does n’t have to play in his tournament unless he has committed himself to it. The golfer is forced only to skip the conflicting tournament. The sponsor seldom invokes this rule because it not only won’t help him but will actually hurt. The golfer won’t play in his tournament anyway and will be so mad about being kept out of the other tourna ment that he won’t ever come back. The Memphis Open invoked the rule this year and it prevented Arnold Palmer and Gary Player playing in some international matches. But Palmer and Player also skipped Memphis, so Memphis didn’t do itself any more good than to show the PGA rule could and would be enforced. If a golfer commits himself to a tournament he must play there or run the risk of a penalty. But he doesn’t have to make his com mitment until 30 days before the tournament. The golfer knows which tournament he wants to skip long before that. The PGA adopted a plan several years ago of awarding points to players for participating in tour naments and these points meant that the fellow was paid a certain amount of money. It was felt that this would insure the players participating in more tournaments. But it didn’t work out that way— the big money players didn’t wor ry about a piddling amount like that; the players who would have played in the tournaments anyway got the money. This plan was adopted last year. One other method was advanced to insure the top players for all tournaments—make the prize mon ey so big the players can’t afford to skip the tournament. Twice as much money now is offered as 10 years ago but it still hasn’t worked. To make the amount so large even the rich boys wouldn’t pass it up would break the sponsors. Two Aggie Baseballers Sign Contracts Dick Hickerson and Stuffy Davis who played on the 1961 A&M baseball team, have signed professional baseball contracts. Davis signed with the new Houston Colt team and Hick erson is with the Baltimore Orioles. Both players are to re port for training almost immediately. Last season Hickerson hit .330 and Davis hit .370 which helped to land them in the All-Southwest Conference team. Hickerson also led the league in triples with four and Davis was the leading base stealer with 11. Davis is an outfielder while Hickerson holds down the first base position. ■* • -GROCERIES- Folgers COFFEE 1-lb. 59c Folgers—Instant COFFEE 6-Oz. Jar 75c Nabisco—Ritz CRACKERS . 12-Oz.
