"See, it's ail gone," said the golfing great. "No more fat Nicklaus had clutched an excess of cloth once packed with an ample posterior, A 21- day diet did more for Jack's rear view than anything else. never really liked being called Fat Jack," he admitted. "I never got mad or anything, but it's not a nice thing to have written about you all the time." The Nicklaus waistline went down by only one inch-to a trim 34-as he shed almost 20 pounds recently, but his caboose tailed off from 47 to 42 inches.

Old pals approach Nicklaus and can't believe their eyes. His frame hasn't carried its present 190 pounds for 10 years, since Jack won the '59 U.S. Amateur at the age of 19. His pretty wife, Barbara, didn't have any poundage to spare, but she made sacrifices and ate the same low-fat meals as Jack during the cutdown period. Entertainer Jackie Gleason, a fellow resident of Soulh" Florida, dropped 61 pounds last summer and claimed the only problem was learning a new golf swing.

Gleason said not having to swing around his tummy was a new experience that sent scores on the links up for awhile. never had much of a middle," Nicklaus said. "My weight was back in my hips and upper legs." Despite the weight drop, Nicklaus thinks Basketball Jamboree set tomorrow night Basketball comes back to North Adams in a big way Thursday as the St. Francis Youth Basketball League opens its 14th season with a gigantic jamboree in the parish hall on Eagle St. A total ot 12 abbreviated games will be played as each team is slated for two contests.

Thomas' clashing in the final junior jamboree game at 5.30. The senior jamboree gets under way at 630 at fakes on the defending chamns, St. Mary's. Again, as in the afternoon, games will be played every half hour with the final tilt at 9 between St. Mary's and St.

Joan's, a new team this year ring down the curtain on a long day of basketball at the Eagle Street parish hall. Tickets for these jamborees may be obtained from any member of the league and will be available at the door. his powerful drives are as long as ever maybe longer. "I was beginning to feel tired by mid- "My feet hurt more and more I felt I needed more sleep than I used to. It felt, all of a sudden, like I was gelling old." Jack isn't exactly ancient-- he 11 turn 30 in January--but his muscular legs have a lot of miles logged and "I needed to make the load a little lighter." Although he plans only one more tournament for certain, the new $100,000 Heritage Classic at Hilton Head, S.C., Nicklaus will stick to a hot schedule during the next month.

"I'm playing the Argentine Masters Buenos Aires and then an exhibition match in Santiago, Chile," he said. Like his fellow golf superstar, Arnold Palmer, Nicklaus leases his own Lear jet. His contract calls for 250 flying hours a year, which adds up to about 125,000 miles. That doesn't counl time spent aboard commercial airplanes. "If I didn't have my airplane, I couldn't live in Florida," said Jack, who moved from his native Columbus, Ohio, to Lost Tree Village about a year ago.

I'I'd need to be more centrally located. I insist on spending a good deal of time with Barbara and the kids." Nicklaus lives' a more normaMife than almost any regular on the professional tour. He flies home between events and even slips back into Palm Beach County between rounds when the tournament is within a few hundred miles. Since shedding his weight, Nicklaus has won two tournaments and finished as a runnerup in the other. If he happens to win the Heritage, Nicklaus will probably play the circuijending Danny Thomas Classic at Hollywood, Dec.

Celts get help in Cousy deal BOSTON (AP) Bill Dinwiddie, acquired Boston in the deal allowing Bob Cousy to return to playing status with Cincinnati, should be "a solid addition" to the Celtics according to General Manager Red Auerbach.

"Both Bill Russell and I discussed him this summer and were very high on htm, as were other members of the Royals, including Oscar Robertson," Auerbach said in announcing the deal Tuesday night.
