14 THE LAWTON CONSTITUTION, Thursday, May 20, 1965 Nicklaus Has His Problems At Memphis MEMPHIS (AP) The comes for every professional; golfer when he wonders why didn't slay in (lie insurance business instead of deciding to; make his lining on the links. That was probably much feeling big Jack Nicklaus had Wednesday when he turned in a nine-over-par 43 on the front nine during the preliminary pra- am event of the Memphis Open Tournament. Those were probably the longest 3.246 feet this Masters' winner ever walked as he compiled an astonishing tally of one bogey, two double-bogeys and even a quadruple-bogey. The two-under-par 34 on (he back nine likely did little to console him. But even with his problems, Nicklaus did much to substantiate the current publicity that he's not such a bad guy after all; with the crowds.

A gallery about 150 stayed with him the way and they loved him. The trouble began when big Jack made a 300-yard drive on the fifth hole. It was here that one spectator was more than surprised when the ball dropped out of the sky, hit him on the foot, and bounced into a small but murky creek. Most of the gallery was surrounding that creek when Nick- Jans walked up. His sun-tanned face took on a look of absolute disbelief before he finally admitted that "if it's in there, it's in there." A spectator asked him to show the crowd a "spray shot." "I'd say I just showed you one," he retorted, placing another ball into play and going on to shoot a Iwo-over-par 6 for the hole.

Vicklaus's second shot landed in a rough patch of weeds (o the right of (lie green on the next hole. He recovered beautifully, chopping out the area "so the next player will be in belter shape." hut went on to the fire another two- over-par 6. It was a little better on the seventh hole until he reached the green, where a short putt rimmed the cup. Five practice putts followed that little miss, and it brought a smile from Nicklaus when the last one finally went in. On the eighth hole, the long drive ended in the rough with a line of trees conventiently plan(ed between Nicklaus and his goal.

His first attempt to drive out ended with the ball striking a tree, hitting a car parked nearby and bouncing Into the itreet. The second ball found its way to the green, but, as Nicklaus pointed out to his admirers. "That's what the first one was supposed to do." With two penalty strokes and four veal ones already charged against him, he missed another close putt to come out with a lour-over-par 8 for the hole. The Golden Bear shot a one- over-par the ninth hole. "I'm not too concerned about It," he explained.

"Of course no one likes to play this bad. It looks like a person on his first day out." He added: "But I'll do better tomorrow in the big one. After all, that's what really counts." Bud Takes Job As Broadcaster NEW YORK (AP) --Bud Wilkinson, former football coach at the University of Oklahoma, will be calling shots on some sportscasts carried by the National Broadcasting Company this fall. His main job will be announcing college football telecasts, continuing a role be hegan as "color" commentator at the New Year's Orange Bowl game and at the recent Notre Dame Varsity-Old Timers game.

CO-CAPTAINS PICKED NEW YORK (UPI) -Coach Lou Rossini of New York University, announced Wednesday that Ray Bennett, a G-foot-8 center and Richard Dyer, a 6- foot-3 guard, have been elected co-captains of NYU's basketball team for the 1965-6S season. -Bowman, Five Players Honored- LHS PACES LOOP ALL-STAR TEAM By HERB JACOBS CTATE champion Lawton and its old nemesis, Duncan, cloini- nate the Boomer Conference all-star baseball team selected by league sports writers and broadcasters. Coach Orval Bowman's Wolverines placed five players on the 12-man squad, and Duncan landed four berths. Del City captured two and Ardmore one of Hie remaining positions. Pilcficrs Frank Anlone and David Frost, outfielders Dick Adams and Dennis Holland and shortstop Dave Durand represent Lawton on the talented club.

Southpaw Ronnie Mautoy, shortstop Joe Holladay, outfielder Darrell Sadler and catcher James Hou'ell were chosen from Duncan. Del City's all-stars are third baseman Mike Hcnslcy anil first sackcr Danny Meyers, a transplanted Lawtonian. Second baseman Gary Brown of Ardmore completes the list. Lawton's Eddie Hinton, whose athletic achievements range far and wide, was named the Outstanding Athlete in the Boomer this season. Ilinton was an All-State halfback, started for the Wolverine a a team a second in the state, and reigns as stale Class AA low hurdles champ.

He will attend Oklahoma University on a football scholarship. Andmc and Malncy were selected as co-Players of the Year. And Bowman, who has led LHS to three state lilies In the last four years, was an easy choice as Coach of the Year. Throe pitchers made the club, with Frost joining Anlone and Malncy on the 12-man squad. Frost was placed in a utility role, but few could argue his merits as a pitcher.

The 6-4 junior posted a 5-1 record while throwing two no-hit- lers, a one-hitter and two two-hitters. His earned run average of 0.18 was a strong arguing point. Anlone rolled to a 8-1 record in his senior year, raising his career mark to 17-1. He posted a 0.43 ERA, struck out 80 and walked just 17 in 48 innings. Antone and Frost accounled for all of Lawton's wins in the regional and state tournaments, nabbing one victory apiece in each meet.

Matney posted a fine 7-1 record for Duncan, losing to eventual state champion Altus in the Class A regional semifinals on unearned runs, His ERA was not tabulated, but il was well under the 1.00 level. Hensley, Del Ci'y's 6-2 senior, led the team's offensive output with a .387 average. Ten doubles, three triples and eight home runs were included in his 24 hits. Durand is second on the batting list with a .371 mark. He swatted 10 extra-base blows, including four homers.

Meyers, who played ball in Lawtoti, was next wilh a .369 mark. Adams hit .355, Brown and Sadler each hit .344, Holland .324, Howell .322 and Holladay .299.
