THE BATTALION Page 8 College Station, Texas Thursday, January 9, 1969 Palmer Is Back At Favorite Course By BOB MYERS Associated Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (^ — Arnold Palmer is back at one of his favorite golf courses, the Ranch municipal course in West Los Angeles, hopeful of winning the $100,000 Los Angeles Open. The 72-hole winter fixture gets underway Thursday and the op position for Arnie and his Cali fornia army is formidable. There is Billy Casper, the de fending champion; U. S. Open champion Lee Trevino, and many Curtis Hits Only On Field FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (A>) —Someone once quoted Baltimore Colts’ linebacker Mike Curtis as saying, “When I’m off the field I’m a gentleman. When I’m on the field I’m an animal.” Curtis was asked about that Wednesday during a practice for Sunday’s Super Bowl game be tween the National Football League champion Colts and the American Football League cham pion New York Jets in Miami. “Gee, I guess I said it, but I was only joking,” Then, thinking for a few seconds, the 232-pound left linebacker added, “I guess it’s apropos.” Curtis has the reputation of a killer on the field. He doesn’t limit it to the opposition. If a teammate riles the one-time Duke fullback in practice he’s just as liable to pop him. “I don’t know what makes me so aggressive,” said Curtis. “I guess it’s just that I like to compete. I don’t like to be beaten. I enjoy contact a lot. I like to hit somebody.” When it was pointed out he didn’t have this reputation for aggressiveness in college, Curtis said, “it was there. In college I didn’t talk much with writers. I’ve come out of my shell with the pros.” Curtis said he wants it known, however, that he doesn’t eat nails. I’m not a crazy nut. When the Colts drafted me they knew I was aggressive. That’s why they wanted me. I led my college team in tackles.” “I can recall,” he said, “always enjoying the rough things. I would build a fort of logs and then let the kids throw rocks at me so I could try and get out of the way of the rocks. I liked to ride a raft down the rough part of the river. I liked a good bee- bee gun fight as long as they weren’t aimed at the face. When I rode a bike I enjoyed having an accident or bumping into something.” -L perma-crease Westbury Slacks Stitt Sturnctt mcn'0 wear Venus • Stationery, books, cards • baby albums • shower invitations • baby announcements • shower centerpieces • napkins, cups, plates etc. AGGIELAND FLOWER AND GIFT SHOPPE 209 University Drive ATTENTION ALL SENIORS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS!

A year ago Casper, on his 13th attempt, finally won the Los Angeles Open, and went on to win more money for the year than anyone else—about $205,000. But Casper’s victory was reg istered on another golf course, Pasadena’s Brookside municipal layout, a site chosen by the pros because certain improvements de manded at Rancho had not been made. So Casper has yet to conquer Rancho while Palmer, who finish ed three strokes behind Califor nia’s Casper in Pasadena and was publicly critical of the course there, guns for triumph No. 4. Palmer made it No. 3 in 1967 with rounds of 70-64-67-68—269, 15 shots under part for Rancho’s 6,800 par 71 test. He won the event the year before and in 1963. Casper tamed Brookside’s par 71, 7,021-yard layout with 70-67- 68-69—274 and picked up the $20,000 winning purse. Palmer’s 277 was worth $12,000. Palmer, whose last tournament was the Hawaiian Open last No vember, has been in Palm Springs in recent days doing television commercials and sharpening his game. He was sidelined temporarily by the flu and didn’t decide to enter here until the deadline Sun day night. Palmer won only two tournaments in 1968, the Bob Hope Classic in Palm Springs in February and the Kemper Open in Sutton, Mass., in September.
