The Missoulian from Missoula, Montana • 15

The Missoulian, Wednesday, July 12, 1972-15 iicklaus Continue (Grand Sam for Quest Today took a different tact. "Jack's a freak," he said. "He's a legend in his own time. He's the greatest player ever to hold a club in his hand. When he makes up his mind to win something, he's halfway there.

When he wants to win, he's awful hard to handle." Trevino has won only once them all it would be fantastic. "But I hope he doesn't. I'd like to win one myself," Player said. The flamboyant Trevino, who capped his incredible rags-to-riches success story last year with a sweep of the American, Canadian and British Opens, kopf, each a $100,000 winner on the American tour already this season; Bert Yancey, and young Johnny Miller. Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, the former baseball star who's trying to make it as a golf pro, also qualified.

Bruce Devlin of Australia and lefty Bob Charles from New Zealand, a former champion, both are regulars on the American circuit and are on hand. So is Mr. Lu, the dapper, cheerful Lu Liang Huan.who became such a favorite in Britain when he finished second to Trevino last year, and veteran Peter Thomson of Australia, a five-time British Open champion who does not play in the United States. Late withdrawals included Roberto de Vincenzo of Argentina and Bruce Crampton of Australia. Crampton, although a $100,000 winner in America this year, said he didn't feel he was playing well enough to win and decided to skip it.

The final round Saturday is scheduled for U.S. television coverage, via satellite, by "When you get in that position, anything can happen," he recalled. "The fourth round was rained out for the first time in something like 50 years. When we got it in, Kel Nagle made an eagle on the 17th hole to beat me by a stroke. "It could happen to Jack.

Rain, wind, a penalty anything." "Jack is such a great player he can beat you when he's playing badly," said Tony Jaiklin, the bright and breezy young Englishman who is a former holder of both the American and British Open crowns. The bookies list Jacklin, who broke a long slump with a victory at Jacksonville this year, as the fourth choice behind Nicklaus, Trevino and Player. Most of the rest of the major challengers are found in a tight little cadre of veterans toughened and tested on the American pro tour. Among them are veterans Billy Casper and Doug Sanders; Slump-ridden Frank Beard; former PGA champions Dave Stockton and Dave Marr; Jerry Heard and Tom Weis- Calif. He took a vacation with his family in the Bahamas, then came to Scotland a week ago to begin work with the smaller British ball and hone his awesome talents on Muirfield's narrow fairways, pit bunkers, punishing winds and fearful rought.

The men listed as his major challengers defending champion Lee Trevino and South African Gary Player agree that the blond and powerful Nicklaus is the man to beat. "Jack has an enormous advantage," said the doughty little Player, a physical fitness fan, who, with Nicklaus, is one of only four men ever to win all four major titles in a lifetime. "Coming over a week early, he's become adjusted to the time change and has had a chance to work on the course and on his game. I don't think we did the right thing, Arnie, Lee and by not preparing properly. "Maybe it would be good for the game if Jack won them all.

He's already created enormous interest in golf with his first two victories and if he won this year, but has a pair of second place finishes and is second only to Nicklaus on the money-winning list with almost $130,000. "I think I'm getting it all together," he said. "I've been working awfully hard on my game. My wife wanted me to baby-sit one day last week in Canada and I had to practice. So I took the kids to the course, got me a switch and said 'sit and hit a couple of buckets of balls.

"I hit the ball real well last week, but I don't think I'm as hungry to win as I was last year. It's awfully hard to defend, to really get up for it two years in a row." Arnold Palmer, now 42 and looking for his first victory ot the season, ranks as a 20-1 shot but is an enormously popular figure with the galleries. "Jack has the best chance at the slam of any man in history who has been in position to win it," said Palmer, the last man to make a run at it. Palmer won the Masters and U.S. Open in 1960.

He lost by a single shot in the British. By BOB GREEN Associated Press Golf Writer MUIRFIELD, Scotland (AP) "Take a good look, laddie," the spectator said in a rich Scots burr, draping an arm over the shoulders of his young son. "There's one of the 20 most famous men in the world." He pointed a gnarled and knobby walking stick at the formidable figure of Jack Nick-laus, who stood with eyes narrowed against the gale-force winds whipping off the Firth of Forth during a practice round for the 101st British Open Golf Tournament. Nicklaus, already holder of the Masters and U.S. Open Championships, ruled as an overwhelming favorite to make this ancient crown the third step on the road to golfing immortality, He's gunning for Grand Slam, an unprecedented one-year blitz of the Masters, U.S.

Open, British Open and American PGA National Championship, scheduled Aug. 3-6 at Birmingham, Mich. Britain's legal bookies made the 32-year-old Golden Bear a 9-4 favorite, one of the lowest prices ever quoted in golf, to capture his third British Open title in the 72-hole event that begins Wednesday on the 6,892 yards of Scottish moors that make up the par 36-3571 Muirfield links. His drive toward the Slam has excited the imagination of fans and duffers around the world and even has the golf-crazy Scots-usually fiercely loyal to their own pulling for Jack to bring it off. But he doesn't like to talk about it.

"I'm playing the championships one at a time. That's enough to think about," Nicklaus said when asked about the Slam, repeating himself with almost reflex action, pulling out of the same phrase time after time. "I said before the season started that the four championships were being played on courses I like. That's all." There's no secret of his love affair with Muirfield, which he has called "probably the best in Britain." He first visited it in 1959 as an amateur with the U.S. Walker Cup team, then won his first British Open on the same layout in 1966.

He's never lost here and looked mildly surprised when a man asked him to make a pick player other than Nicklaus as the most likely to win. "I hadn't even thought about it," Nicklaus said.

"I heard about it two days ago," Joe said over the telephone, "and I called Yank.

He said it was just Dick Sadler behind it, Foreman's manager. Does George want a fight? I'll give him one, any time, any place. I don't think Yank would have no objection about that." Even as Frazier spoke, Yank Durham, his manager, was lending a receptive to Murray Goodman's offer of a $500,000 guarantee to boy Foreman in the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in October or November. The champion didn't know that, though. For all his outward indifference, the Oklahoma caper stung him.

"How can a commission let something like that happen?" He said. Seattle Case He was reminded that a commission in Seattle once sanctioned a heavyweight championship match for Pete Rademacher, an amateur who had never boxed a four-round preliminary for money. And when Cassius Muhammad Ali Clay was in quarantine for resisting the military draft, the New York Commission shaved it pretty close by giving a title status to a Frazier-Buster Mathis bout. "They made that look a little half-legal," Frazier said, "But Foreman and Bonavena! They can't find nobody to beat Bob Foster so they're talking about taking his title away and now I guess they can't find nobody to whip me and they're trying the same thing. I been in this game 12 years and I love it but the last two-three years it's getting too rough for me.

Not physicalwise but associationwise. I always been above board and I can't stand underhanded deals." Since taking fungo practice on Ali's profile in their $5-million go-round in March, 1971, Frazier has defended the championship twice against Terry Nobody in New Orleans and Ron Nobody in Omaha. Would he say no to a suggestion that he fight Ali once more and retire? Frazier Wants Clay "I'd say yeah, Anytime. Anywhere. We just waiting for him, when he wants to fight.

He's taking somebody else every other month and every time he says, 'I want Joe Frazier! I want Joe Frazier! Nobody's holding him. We just waiting on him, waitin' on him." Meanwhile, Frazier takes his ease on the 368 acres he bought for $158,500 in his native Beaufort County, C. (pronounced Bewfort). To reach the plantation you take the state road out of Yemassee (pop. 700) till you come to a drive flanked by moss-hung oaks with a sign at the entrance displaying doves and the name Frazier.

(On the back of the sign the name Brewton still appears; from 1755 on the plantation was occupied either by Brewtons or by McPhiersons.) There are three residences besides the main house. The first is occupied by Joe's sister Rebecca, another by a brother, and in the third Joe's sister Julia lives with their mother. Miss Dolly. Among other permanent residents are black bass and alligators. Soon there will be cattle and horses.

The corn is up and cucumbers are growing and snap beans and butter beans. Joe Enjoys Home "I enjoy it so much," Frazier said. "And tell that young man runnin' off at the mouth this ain't no chicken farm." (That designation originated with Cassius Muhammad Ali ay.) "I was out lookin' at some cattle yesterday," Joe said. "It's so pretty with the birds flyin' around and the moss hanging, I want some cattle to give it a little more class. They really do something for land." Frazier hand't heard that Floyd Patterson was fighting Pedro Agosto this week in the Singer Bowl on the old world's fair grounds in Flushing, Y.

"Hey, I fought there," he said. He lost to Mathis in the trials for the 1964 Olympic Team. "All them guys," he said, meaning guys like Patterson and Ali and Foreman, "keep fightin' among themselves. Seems like somebody'd want to take a shot at the title. Me, I'm not going outside of the top 10 no more.
