Australian Bruce Crampton; a 29-year-old son of a Sydney cop, took three or four years to learn that distinction after joining the U.S. circuit in 1957. But he has it down pat now. Three timet yesterday in the plant, never did knuckle un-final round of the $87,000 der. Only eight players, Fettival Open at Green- eluding the new champion, tree he had excellent chancet bettered par for 72 holes of to vent his spleen at the golf.

Back of the first three first tee when an ambitious came Chi Chi Rodriguez and There For 1 500 Driver By RODGER WARD Don't let any race driver tell you he doesnt worry about the danger in a 500-Mile Race at the Speedway: He does. Tension lives, with every driver at this track for tl- 4.1- 1 lO 1 a momn, out especially me ussi hours before it starts. Every one of us goes into the 500 knowing that this track is the most demanding in the world. But, we also know that the rewards are far greater, too. You have more time to think about it, that's why there's so much more tension.

At all other races you practice one day, then qualify and race the next. But, here you have an entire month to fret and stew. You worry when your car's not working right (and I should know -about that this year) and about how the others are going faster. It gets to you. 1 DhotOMDher shot pictures from a perch high in a near by tree, at the fifth hole.

where Crampton took a triple- bogey 7. and on the very last hnl whrt alicMl a drive into rough so deep he thought he'd never get out. The PGA took care of the photographer. Crampton cast oui me memory 01 oia wo. which cost him 20 strokes for the four rounds.

And he saved himself on 18, after slashing and missing his second shot with a sand wedge, by drilling a 2-iron fourth shot "212 or 213 yards' to within 3 feet of the pin. He sank the putt for the par and 72-hole total of 279. That finish made Bruce a richer golfer than which there is none richer this year except absentee Jack Nicklaus, and runnersup of Lionel Herbert and Jack Cupit, who deadlocked for second on 280s. CUPIT MISSES PUTT FOR PLAYOFF Cupit, playing in the same threesome with Crampton and Dan Sikes, added enough drama to the finishing hole for Bruce to last the season. With Crampton leading him by two tmirnr! Rnir in Hn trouble with that last drive Cupit laid hi second shot onto the par-5 finishing hole, 12 feet from the" cun.

ah he had to do to force a playoff was to sink the uphill putt. but he left it inches short and the eagle flew away. The first-place check of $15,200 sent Crampton's haul for the season (he won the Crosby National and Colonial Invitational earlier) to $43,095 his best yet and from fifth to second in the PGA money mart. Only Nicklaus ($47,900) has him topped. ONLY EIGHT BETTER PAR Creentree, subbed late for Speedway and its rebuilding Fox former sports editor of The News.

This And $15,200 Bruce Crampton poses with his newest golf prize, the "500" Festival Open trophy given annually to the champ in memory of the late W. F. Reclining Seats Have Extra Fatigue Factor But, once the race starts the real excitement's; over and you never think about the danger again All you do is drive.

You don't try to be a nice guy, don't give an inch if they press you. Naturally, the night before a race a driver tension, some plenty of it. I never really was con-1 cerned about the possible danger exactly, but you've built yourself up for this one day and you tend to get, a little more excited when you have a chance to win, I can remember when I first came here and droves some of those boxes, I wasn't worrying. All I wanted to do was stay out of everybody's way and pick up as! touch dough as possible. However, I know some guys really do get more excited and some even have little ceremonies and rit-'v uals they go through.

I know Johnny Boyd is like that. Some drivers go to church the night before race, others have a lot of extra stuff they do. I never did any of this myself Sure, I've had trouble sleeping the night. a race, but mostly when I felt I had a chance Jo And I don't think rookies worry too" much because they're young fellows and Indianapolis hasn't gotten to them yet. It takes a couple years before he gets-wrapped up in it.

When he comes here, he thinks this is just another track. But they find out differently. Naturally, as the old clock rolls toward 1 1 o'clock your heart starts to beat a little faster. You're a littlei more apprehensive and start to get really excited about i the outcome. Jj Then you're keyed to the ultimate right before Tony Hulman says, "Gentlemen, start your engines." i I know the best race I ever drove at the Speedway was in 1960 when I got to the pits only 15 minutes before the start.

I got caught in a traffic jam on Georgetown Rd. I finally had to walk a half-mile and then hitch a ride with a track guard to the pits All had time to do was jump into my uniform and hop irit the car. I didn't have time to worry about anything. The time you spend out around the track about an hour or so before it starts is probably the worst time for a driver. Everybody's coming up and wishing, you good luck.

And then you have the guy who shakes, your hand so hard that it almost makes you bend at the knees. Right then you'd like to punch him right in'' the nose. Tension is there, don't let anyone kid you it CUt.

And Bruce doesn't like to miss cash opportunities. He's now hit 19 of the 20 PGA tourneys this season, passing Only the Azalea Open, after an iron- man performance of 38 straight tourneys in 1962 and '63 and 35 of 36 events last season.

And what will the Cramp-tons do with all this money after such a slack season ($19,336) in 1964? "I think we're going to build a house now in Sydney," said his "wife Joan, who stepped off a Tasmanian Empire Airway Ltd. stewardess job 15 months ago to marry the guy. She's a New Zea-lander or was.

"Gosh, he must eat a beau-coup of them," said Nicholas. "Actually, it's about one a hole. tried a couple and they're really pretty good if you like honey." One of the 26-year-old Nicholas' duties was to carry Chi Chi's Phillies' Tip cigars, which the 29-year-old Rodriguez claims "keep me light and sexy." "He'll smoke maybe 5 or 6 round," said Bob. Poor driving the first three days of the tournament prevented a Chi Chi Rodriguez victory, believes Nicholas.

"He was hooking the ball badly early, but he took two driving lessons from Pete Cooper (a fellow pro) and that really helped. If Chi Chi had hit his drives all four days like he did today, he would have won going away." turn ziess lew Km 3 i 0 Jnnny na Miller Barber at 283 and Don Massengale at 283.

BRUCE NEVER PAR OFF PACE Crampton, deadly with his irons, was never far off the pace with his 71-70-67-71 rounds, taking over the lead after Saturday's trial when first-round leader Tommy Bolt slipped and second-place leader Joe Kirkwood crashed. If there was one hole that Crampton liked, it must have been the par 4 15th, which he birdied three times out of four.

He had 17 birds for four seven ff dou ble bogey and one triple bogey, His toughest hole was No. 5. Which he played 8-4, 4-7, and managed to birdie every-. iL 4 IA 11 IBS' thing except 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 16 and 17. i I'LL BE SAYS CRAMPTON "Yes.

I think I'll be back." said Crampton with a smile. "It's almost mandatory for the champ to defend his title. If the good Lord's willing, I will be." Crampton meant to miss this tourney had it been held at Speedway, but Dr. Ted Grisell, a local surgeon, phoned him about the change to Greentree as soon as it was announced. "It's Chi Chi's nature to put people at ease, but he's all business.

There's no question about that. "You'd think that he never sees a thing he should the way he. jokes and talks with the crowd. But don't let that fool you. "I remember one day we got to the 18th hole and he asked me where the pin was just before he made his second shot.

He couldn't see the flag. I wasn't sure, but I thought it was on the right. 1 hadn't really taken a good look when we passed the hole after nine and I didn't think he had, either. "But I was wrong. He said, 'It's on the right, and he hit a fine shot to the left side of the green so he could have a clear shot straight at the hole and not be in danger of hitting the trap on the right" LET ME DO THE THINKING' Rodriguez, who won $4,200 for finishing in a tie for fourth with Dan Sikes at 281, does his own thinking and doesn't appreciate unsolicited advice, says Nicholas.

"He reprimanded me once for not putting a club in the bag. I thought be was going to use the same club for the next shot and he eventually did. But he said, 'Put the club tew 2.eso rw I I a By WAYNE FUSON, Sports Editor 'PHOSE "lay down" seats in the new rear-engine cars in today's 500-Mile Race may look like they give the driver a nice, easy ride. Especially in the Lotus-Fords are the drivers in a semi-reclining position. But looks are deceiving.

Dr. Tom Hanna, medical director of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, told the 33 starters at yesterday's drivers' meeting that there definitely is more fatigue factor in the semi-reclining teats than in the straight-up sitting position of the old front-engine roadsters. All drivers were cautioned by Dr. Hanna The 11 rookies who started the race to day had a special meeting of their own, con ducted by steward Paul Johnson. Veteran drivers Parnetli Jones and Don Branson spoke Caddying For Chi-Chi Has Serious Side, Too to get relief immediately if they felt any fatigue.

Foyt is kicking around the idea of competing in the 24-hour race at LcMans, France, June 19-20. He has been talking with Carroll Shelby of Cobra fame, but there has been no firm commitment. One problem is that the LcMans event conflicts with the USAC 100-miler June 20 at Langhorne, Pa.

Foyt, of course, is defending champ on the big car circuit, Although there has been no statement forthcoming from the Speedway, an organization of race car owners say they have a promise of $66,000 ($2,000 for each starting car) as the 500 contestants' share of closed circuit television receipts. i- i flag is dropped. h.t i r. how lodav's winner slPt last night. 1 bet I know.

I've had his same feelings; ,4 Fuson Car owners and some celebrities spoke to the drivers at yesterday's meeting, held under the Speedway's Tower at the starting line.

Including a $3,000 check, and even a trophy from Raymond Firestone.

Foyt uses Goodyear tires. Dr. Hanna closed the meeting with the best remark: "My nurses asked me to request that you all wave to us as you go past the hospital on your way home tomorrow night" The first 10 finishing cars were impounded by the USAC technical committee so engines could be measured and a complete check made to make sure they complied with the rules. Five minutes after the winner crossed the finish line, all remaining cars on the track also got the checkered flag indicating that their "trip" was complete. quate." They had asked for $100,000 televL sion money and an extra $30,000 hike onto the regular purse by the Speedway.

A statement, issued fey the National Championship Car Owners Association, headed by Bob Wilke of Milwaukee, said "We feel the amount of prize money paid to participants is not in proportion to the increased cost of our participation in the 500 and that our share is not commensurate with the increase in gross receipts." Wilke said that the cost of putting a car the race has doubled the last several years. The statement, Wilke stressed, was not a request, demand or ultimatum to the Speedway, just an expression of policy by the By DICK DENNY What's it like to caddy for Chi Chi Rodriguez, the new darling of the professional golf circuit?

But there is a serious side to the pleasant little Puerto Rican who covers the hole with his hat when he makes an important putt, twists when he's happy or jumps up and clicks his heels on good shots from the fairways. "People may think Chi Chi's a clown and he is a tine showman but the guy couldn't be any more serious about his game, said Nicholas, who took a week's vacation from his job aa a sales representative for Eastern Express to caddy in his first pro tourney.
