Women's Doubles, Semi-Finals Vickl Berner. Vancouver, and Alice A good story line Script writers have nothing to do with golf tournaments, but if a couple of them had been hired they could hardly have improved on the story line of the 1964 Canadian Open it's drama that makes these events memorable and drama this one had. But you have to have it in the right place and that's at the finish. Starting the fourth and final round at Pinegrove yesterday, three were tied for first place: Arnold Palmer, the biggest name in the game these days; Big Bill Collins, the relaxed pro from Grossinger's, N.Y., who is making a comeback after an operation for the removf.l of a disk, and young Ray Floyd of St. Andrews, 111., who was Golf Digest's "rookie of the year" in 1963.

One stroke behind was Kel Nagle of Sydney, Australia, and a stroke behind him were Gary Player of South Africa, the second member of the Big Three, and Billy Casper of California, the great putter. At 212, three strokes off the pace, was Bob Verwey of South Africa, Gary Player's brother-in-law, and a fine golfer in his own right. Jack Nicklaus, the "Golden Bear" from Ohio, who is the current leading money-winner on the tour and the third member of the Big Three, was even with par at 213. Any one of the above-mentioned, and one or two not mentioned, was in a position to take it all. The tournament had been well-attended for three days, but with that setup you knew a monster crowd would swarm over the course on the final day.

Most spectators would be members of "Arnie's Army," the huge gallery that invariably follows Palmer. The magnetic Palmer There is no denying that he is one of the most magnetic personalities on the sports scene today. Things may seem relatively quiet, but the moment he appears the atmosphere becomes changed. People who were talking lower their voices and those who were sitting stand up. It's as if they expect something out of the ordinary to happen and they don't want to miss it.

That's the way it is off the course, and it's, more so on it. It's been said that those who are linked with him in the draw feel the pressure, but what about Palmer himself? Does he ever get used to those pushing, shoving, scurrying galleryites? You wonder about it and then you wonder if he'd miss them if they weren't there. He is a gambler on the course, a guy who doesn't hesitate to go for broke if he thinks the risk is worth taking. Playing safe is not for him. "I enjoy playing boldly," he said at a press interview after Saturday's round.

"I like to push it as far as I can. If I miss, I know I may wind up with a seven on that particular hole. I haven't won many tournaments this year and I'd like to win this one. If I don't win, it won't be because I didn't push." He added that Pinegrove's greens weren't easy, but he hadn't been putting well lately. He thought he putted pretty well on Friday when he took 29 putts, but he took 31 on Saturday compared with Bill Collins' 26.

He likes to hit the ball solidly on putts. His putting theory "I think putting is a combination of tapping the ball and stroking it," he explained. "It is neither a real definite tap, like hitting an object with a hammer, nor solely a stroking action, sweeping the ball along as it were. My main concern is to make a solid contact with the putter face exactly at right angles with the direction line at point of contact. "On some of my shorter putts, I do ap.

But I think my putting action is sometimes mistaken as a tapping action because I don't have a great follow through. On the longer putts. I increase my back stroke, eliminate the tap and have more of a definite stroke. "Some think my putting stance is a little awkward. My feet are fairly far apart and my left foot toed-in.

I toe-in for balance. My weight is slightly forward but fairly evenly distributed. Above all, I try to get right over the ball." So much for theory! Yesterday he was missing the short ones and nobody, not even Palmer, can do that and win. The winner was Kel Nagle, the veteran from Sydney, Australia, and his victory wasn't entirely unexpected. After rounds of 73 and 71 on Thursday and Friday, he carded a 66 on Saturday, the best single round of the tournament.

He added a 67 yesterday for a 277 total, seven strokes under par. Nagle has played well at home and in Great Britain, but he has never done much in the United States. Maybe being back in the Commonwealth helped. jingles match Friday from Pierre Barthes, but Pierre Dar-mon even the series Saturday by beating Schmidt 7-9, 6-8, 6-4, 6-4, 6-1.

The Australian doubles victory put the pressure on Mexico in Monday's final two singles matches in the best three-of-five tourney.

Osuna, the reigning U.S. singles champ is scheduled to meet Emerson, generally regarded as the world's No. 1 amateur, in one match and Stolle is expected to play the veteran Palafox in the other. Mexico must win both singles to halt the Aussies' drive to regain the cup they lost to the United States in the challenge round last year. The doubles match had gone through 94 games and four hours, 20 minutes when Australia wrapped it up as, at deuce, Osuna double faulted and then was unable to reach an Emerson drive down the sideline.
