Tourney Skipping is Big Golf Problem
By HAROLD V. 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

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

conflicts with an approved tourna
ment on penalty of suspension for
six months and a fine of $500. 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.
