:iv THE BATTALION Pag-e 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, April 18, 1968 Tourney Of Champions To Feature Goalby, Casper LAS VEGAS, Nev. CP)—Twen ty-five title winning golfers, led by Masters champion Bob Goalby, Billy Casper and a band of eager young professionals, tee off Thursday in the first round of the $150,000 Tournament of Champions. This is the 16th annual spring time gambol of the golfers in the land of gamblers, unique in that to enter it a man has to win a PGA-approved tournament. The site is the 6,625-yard, par- 71 Stardust Country Club. The winner of the 72-hole affair will earn $30,000. Back to defend the title he captured last year is Frank Beard, who holed an 8-foot pressure putt for a birdie on the final hole to beat out Arnold Palmer by one stroke. Palmer at the time was sitting in the clubhouse, a record 64 just completed. Palmer and Jack Nicklaus qual ified for the 1968 T of C but will not play. Palmer is troubled by a hip ailment and Nicklaus said he preferred not to play in three major tournaments in successive weeks. He ••pktyed the Masters and is committed to compete in the Byron Nelson Open in Dallas, Tex., next week. Nine of the current field are playing the tournament the first time. Included are young Tom Weiskopf, who is regarded as perhaps the best threat among the newcomers, and Tony Jacklin, at 23 the youngest man aboard and the first Englishman to make the tournament. The others here for the first time are Dave Stockton, veteran Charlie Sifford, Kermit Zarley, Lou Graham, Marty Fleckman, Randy Glover and Laure Ham mer. Rounding out the select list are George Knudson, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Dan Sikes, Gardner Dickinson, Julius Boros, Don January, Dave Hill, Bert Yancey, Bob Charles, Johnny Pott, Miller Barber, George Archer and Dud ley Wysong. Not entered in Las Vegas is Roberto De Vicenzo who gained popular support after losing the Masters to Goalby by signing a wrong score. The error resulted in the South American missing a playoff by one stroke. The Argen tine Golf Association said Wed nesday it “fully agrees” with the action of United States officials who deprived Argentina’s De Vicenzo of first place in the Masters last Sunday because of the mathematical error. “We would have acted exactly in the same way if it had happen ed here,” association President Ignacio A. Ramos said in a state ment. De Vicenzo’s partner in the Masters who recorded the wrong score, a par on number 17 while the Argentinian actually had a birdie 3, was Tommy Aaron.
