HE BATTALION Thursday, April 10, 1969 College Station, Texas Page 5 0, 1969 iy Jack Nicklaus Leans To ‘Old Guard’ In Masters By WILL GRIMSLEY Associated Press Sports Writer AUGUSTA, Ga. UP) _ Jack licklaus likes the Old Guard ver the Young Turks in the 34d Masters Golf Tournament, I tarting Thursday, and he hints ; might be unwise to overlook wman they call the Golden Bear. “If I didn’t think I could win ere, I would go home right now,” aid the 200-pound slugger from lolumbus, Ohio, the 10-1 favorite in a wide open international field of 83 players. “I am hitting the ball better and feeling more confident than I have in any Masters since 1965.” That was the year Big Jack won the third of his green coats and set the scoring record of 271, provoking the great Bob Jones to remark that “this fellow plays a game with which I am not familiar.” Big Jack said he believed the pressure in this first of the season’s major championships and course knowledge would give the established players an edge over the precocious new breed. The odds-makers apparently agree. Nicklaus is 10-1 in the unof ficial pre-tournament book, the longest odds given a favorite in years. He is followed at 12-1 by Gene Littler, the year’s leading money winner; Bill Casper and Arnold Palmer. PGA champion Julius Boros is rated 15-1 along with Gary Play er of South Africa and Roberto DeVicenzo of Argentina, with U.S. Open champion Lee Trevino, Miller Barber, Tom Weiskopf and Bob Murphy following at 20-1. Palmer, who won the first of his four crowns in 1958 and the last in 1964, is geared for a come back. “I am hopeful. My sore hip hasn’t hurt me much. I’m playing the best I have in 12 months.” Many observers believe this may be the year for a foreigner to take the title for the second time. Player, who beat out Pal mer in 1961, is at his peak. De Vicenzo, who lost a chance for a tie a year ago through an arith metic error, and Bruce Crampton of Australia both are playing well. The first round begins over the flowering 6,980-yard Augusta course at 9 a.m., EST. The final two rounds will be televised nationally by NBC, 5-6 p.m. Saturday, 4-5:30 p.m. Sun day.
