Tuesday, June 27, 1972 sJU VjCi Golf in the family CC's Sargenf lilies the w-fo-o-Z-e thing i 1 By LUTHER GOLDEN 9 li Assistant Sports Editor Like most club professionals, Jack Sargent likes the WHOLE thing. He likes every aspect of his job and won't trade with anyone. Pensacola Country Club's head pro has been around the game of golf since he was a child, and although he was a salesman for 10 years, he can't understand what ever possessed him to leave golf. "My basic job is to run the golf program," says Sargent. "Basically, three men are in charge of the club.

Cecil Rohr-berger runs things inside, Stanley Files is the greens superintendent and is in charge of course maintenance and my assistants and I handle the remainder of the golf responsibilities." Sargent owns the PCC pro shop. "I buy the merchandise and eat it if I don't sell it," he says. Sargent is an expert on the rules of golf. There is a sign which hangs in the PCC golf shop which sums up his feelings on the subject: "The game ceases to be golf when the rules are broken at leisure." "At the most, only about two per cent of the golfers play by the rules. Some of this is ignorance of the rules, but many golfers just don't want to go by the rules." The club pro Second of 10 parts The native of Columbus, Ohio, who grew up in Atlanta, is on the rules committee for two of the world's top professional tournaments the Masters and the PGA Championship.

He also is a member of the rules committee for the Ryder Cup matches (America vs. the British Isles) when these matches are played in the U.S. Sargent has worked at the Masters for the past 13 years, and believes that charges of racial discrimination by blacks are unfounded. "I believe that anyone, no matter who he is, who meets the requirments can play in the Masters," he says. Sargent's family background is rich in golf.

His father George was the National Open champion in 1909 and served as president of the Professional Golfers Association from 1921 to 1926. Jack's brother Harold was president of the PGA from 'Only about two per cent of the golfers play by the rules' Sargent 1957 to 1960 and is currently the pro at the Atlanta Athletic Club Country Club. The late golfing great Bob Jones was a friend of Sargent's family. Sargent spent 1943 to 1945 in the Air Force as navigator on a B-29. When he came out of the service, he joined a company and traveled selling records one year and carpet nine years.

"I don't know why I ever got into the carpet business." Jack took a golf job with his brother in 1955, became head pro at Peachtree Country Club in 1956 and came to PCC in 1968. Like other club pros, Sargent's working hours are long, but he isn't complaining. "If you're looking at the hours, you'll never get into this business." Serving a portion of the club's 650 members keeps Sargent busy. But he couldn't imagine sitting in an office, anyway. "I own one suit and it's 15-20 years old." Weather plays havoc with swimming MOM-- Luther Golden Assistant Sports Editor Tom Robinson On Water Sports AREA SWIMMERS must wonder when they will get a break in the weather.

Last Saturday and Sunday, for the second straight week end, hard rain and high winds turned a swim meet into a soggy mess. The victims were swimmers in the Aqua Holiday Meet at Whiting Field. The week before the Pensacola Sports Association Meet got a calling card from Hurricane Agnes. The holiday swimmers scrambled through their events Sunday until the weather got so bad backstroke competition had to be cancelled and everyone headed for shelter. Hurlburt Swim Team walked away with first place totaling 438 points Pensacola Navy was second with 231, followed by Aquatic with 226' j.

Pensacola Swim Team managed 198 points while Scenic Hills compiled 189 and Scenic Heights 166. Joe Mack, PST, was high point leader for senior boys and Barbara Reid, also of PST, took top honors for senior girls. The high-point winners were: Boys eight and under Jim Lefebvre, Hurlburt; Girls eight and under Jill Simmons, PST; Boys 9-10 Todd Stalna- ker, Scenic Hills; Girls 9-10 Lisa Thompson, Scenic Heights; Boys 11-12 Wayne Waddell, Pascagoula; Girls 11-12-Donna Sonenshein, PAC; Boys 13-14 David Schwertner, Hurlburt; Girls 13-14-Kathy Godwin, PST. v. torn?

(CONTINUEO ON PAGI IB) America walks into Communist zhess trap rr LOS ANGELES This report should properly go in the diplomatic pouch. Slug it "For Eyes Only" with one copy to the Secretary of State, one to the President. Burn promptly after reading. Get Henry Kissinger on it at once. The United States is walking into another Communist trap! It's going to be the same old story.

It's going to be a conflict of their choosing, on their grounds, nnder their terms. It's going to be the same old cmd, a conflict we probably can't win because a stalemate is almost built in. It's going to have demilitarized zones, sanctuaries, the whole lot. International quicksand. It's the Bay of Pigs, Panmunjom, the sellout all over again.

We're paying for a tie, as usual. And a tie, they win. The circumstances are these: The United States is probably the world's mightiest chess power. That's because we have Bobby Fischer, the Brooklyn prodigy whose disposition would have to improve to be described as merely "irascible." Bobby is about to be sacrificed on the altar of diplomatic expedience, a tragic patriot in the mold of Douglas Mac-Arthur, Gary Powers or the Lafayette Escadrille. We're sending him up in a coffin.

We're sending him into battle handcuffed. Bobby has won all the skirmishes in this conflict. He routed a collection of Russian shock troops in Argentina a year ago with almost bored ease. Now, he is to meet the Russian champion, Boris Spassky. (CONTINUED ON PACE IB) Jim 1 Murray Golf vs.

PAUL, Minn. (AP) Bobby Hull, the leading active scorer in the National Hockey League, signed the first half of a contract today that will give him $2.5 million to serve as player and coach for the Winnipeg Jets of the World Hockey Association.

Hull, the 33-year-old left winger who scored 604 regular season career goals for the Chicago Black Hawks the last 13 seasons, appeared in the first of two scheduled news conferences and was presented with a $1 million certified check by Gary L. Davidson, WHA president. Hull, with speculation circulating for at least seven months that he was negotiating with the WHA, had flown to St. Paul on a chartered plane with Winnipeg club officials, and was to return to Winnipeg later in the day to sign a contract that will pay him $1.5 million during the next 10 years as player and coach of the Jets. Hull's wife, Joanne, and their three oldest sons Bobby Blake and Bret were on hand at the signing, along with Ben Hatskin, Jets' president.

"People will realize that we are here to stay," said Ed Fit-kin, assistant to Davidson. h- r-. Ml All Titna COT WilwauV (Br en J-4) at Baltlmor (a. ander 3 4 or Harriion 001. 4 pm, Boston (Curtlt 1-3) at Clavaland (Wilcox -7, 4 30 p.m.
