Officials have done the obvious thing and made him No. 1 seed, but he will need all his artistry to hold off the Australian challenge. Most critics agree the man to watch is Roy Emerson, steely 32-year-old Australian who already has won Wimbledon twice.

An ankle injury probably robbed him of a third straight success last year. LONDON (AP) Manuel Santana of Spain starts defense of his Wimbledon tennis title Monday with a pack of Australians snapping at his heels and the Americans rated as rank outsiders. Veteran Wimbledon fans cannot remember an All-England tournament in which the seedings for the men's singles did not include an American. MESSY FINISH Santana commented modestly: "Emerson was the real champion at Wimbledon last year. I was just lucky.

"I don't know about this year. I beat him on grass at Chantilly, France, recently and that helped my confidence. But he's always a difficult man to play." Emerson gets the No. 2 spot in the seedings. There are four more seeded Australian John Newcombe at No.

3, Tony Roche at No. 4, Ken Fletcher at No. 6 and Bill Bowrey at No. 8. In the women's singles Mrs.

Billie Jean Moffitt King of Long Beach, will be defending her title and is the No. 1 seed. Her chief rivals probably will be Maria Bueno of Brazil, three times a Wimbledon winner in the last eight years, and Mrs. Ann Jones, Mrs. old British Wightman Oup rival.

The 22-year-old Irwin lost the magic putting touch which enabled him to post a seven-under nar 65 in the third round Friday, but his five-stroke lead was enough to stand off Georgia Tech's Bunkv Henry. San Jose State's Ross Randall and the University of Arizona's Robert Drue Johnson, who wound up in a three-way tie for second place. Irwin's final round 79 gave him 72-hole total of 2-under par 286, against 288 for the second place trio. Hubert Green of Florida State University finished six strokes back with a 292.

Each of the 18 holes, laid out by Rill Amick, one of the country's leading golf course architects, is distinctly different.

"The course is going to be one of the finest in the nation," said Yancey during a recent visit home as he took a break from the pro tour, "They did a really fine job in building it. It's something to see, and I'm sure it'll be something to play." Members will take their first i wings on the course July 8. Memberships are still open. Initiation fee for the first 200 is $250.

Many of us will be comforted by news from the Golf Society of Great Britain. After three years of intensive research by a band of dedicated scientists, they have reluctantly concluded that "there is no one correct way to swing a golf club." Conclusion: "Good golfers conform to certain principles, but 'the margin of Tightness' on these points is so wide as to make two golf swings, ewn though they conform, look different." In brief, the golf swing is an art.

not a science. That ought make us hackers feel confident that we, too, may sometime become golfers. Seventy seven year old Davey Crockett scored an ace on March 9 at Fort Myers; then on April 9, exactly one month later, he did the same thing at Boone, N. CI We never did hear what happened to him on May 9. Probably took a thirteen on a par three hole.

Excluding fishing tackle and hunting equipment, golf equipment sales last year accounted for more than haft of all sporting goods sold. The $150 million spent was more than four times higher than the next category baseball and Softball equipment. One of the cleverest hints for better golf we have noted lately comes from a fellow named Benito L. Lueras of Miami. He speaks of the importance of keeping the head still during the swing and how difficult it is for the swinger to detect his own head movement.

Because the golfer needs a reference point, he suggests rolling up a sheet of paper, placing it in the mouth and pointing it at the ball. Then swing. If there is head movement, the eye will catch it, because the pointer will move, showing you just how much and where you moved your head. Firre accolade for Bert Yancey from Dr. Cary Mid-dleco'f in Professional Golfer magazine Middlecoff says he is Impressed by several of the younger pros "but especially Bert Yancey." He goes on to say, "I think he's going to be a heckava player." Most fans in the area will perhaps not remember Ed Ficker, a member of the FSU freshman golf team somewhere around the middle fifties.

Ed, from Hen-dersonville, N. is now president of the Florida Professional Golfers Association. Members of the Tequesta CC (Jupilter Eeach), including prominent member, Perry Como, recently presented him with a lot and new home in appreciation of h'us fine efforts as pro at their club As we remember, Ed had to drop out of school for lack of finances.
