Palmer had to play four extra holes with the defending champion and another hot contender to win the $15,000 West Palm Bench Open.

Palmer turned the trick when his putter stayed steady on the 76th hole. The difference meant $2,000 for the Ligonier, pro and $1,350 each for his rivals, Pete Cooper of Lakeland and Gay Brewer Jr. of Crystal River. Cooper won the West Palm Open in a playoff last year. This time on the payoff hole, he overshot the green and then missed a five-foot putt.

Brewer fell short of the green and tapped his putt too hard, rimming the cup.

RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer The Southwest Conference football campaign as at an end but it will be remembered for its upsets, great games and the first triple tie for the championship in its long history- Texas faltered in the stretch and failed to attain an undefeated, untied record, something it seemed sure to do with only two- tenths of the season left. Texas Christian, which started slowly but gathered momentum in the drive toppled Texas 14-9 to bring about the three-way tie. when it won only one and tied one, finished sixth with one conference victory and a tie. The season record was 1-7-2. Texas didn't win a conference game but had three outside triumphs, including a decision over Michigan State in the league's only game with the Big Ten.

The conference did well against ill sections except the Southeastern Conference. It didn't win a game in that area although Rice managed a tie with Florida. Attendance was down.
