Clay Feels Draft Board
Showdown
By WILLIAM VERIGAN
UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPI)—Cassius
Clay, looking past his fight with
Zora Foliey at Madison Square
Garden Wednesay night, pre
dicts he will be heavyweight
champion for 10 more years "If
they let me.”
Clay obviously feels that his
coming showdown with the
draft board will be tougher than
his battle with the 34-year-old
Foliey, but the champion claims
he isn’t letting it bother him.
“You gotta have a showdown
soon, and you know it’s
coming,” said Clay. “There’s
nothing you can do—just get
ready to face it. The main
showdown is the fight.”
The reluctant 1-A draft
selection, who has been ordered
to appear for induction on April
11, concluded his training with a
light workout Monday while
nearly 80 reporters and a score
of his Black Muslim cohorts
watched with Sugar Ray
Robinson and Joe Louis.
Nicklaus Wants Space
Between
By DAVID M. MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI)
— Jack Nicklaus, one of tile
leading candidates for the so
called “grand slam,” thinks the
pro golf schedule should be re
arranged so that the big tourna
ments aren’t too close together.
Nicklaus got on that subject
during the Greater Jacksonville
Open when asked about his
chances for the slam—the Mas
ters, the U. S. Open, the British
Denver for the PGA.”
He’s the defending champion
in both the Masters and British
Open and has won the other
two—but no one has won all
four the same year.
To Be Tough
"It’s really going to be tough
this year,” Nicklaus said. "We
play the British Open at Liver
pool in the middle of July
(July 13-16) and the very next
week i July 20-23) have to be in
Denver for the PGA.'
Nicklaus said the PGA
“should be the grand finale for
the summer tour.
“This should be our No. 1
tournament instead of being
rated fourth,” he said. "It
should be the tournament we all
point for during the year.”
If Nicklaus had his way, he’d
space tlie four out. “The Mas
ters, as it now is, would climax
the winter tour; the Open would
come at the end of the spring;
the British Open would be our
mid-summer target and then
the PGA would come at the end
of August or in early Scptem

Pressure Helps
The 25-year-old champion
admitted he was “a little
tense,” but he said the pressure
of his showdown with the draft
board will help his cause
against Foliey.
"I work best under pressure,”
he said, “but the pressure of
getting a title fight for the first
time is worse. Folley’s gonna be
more bothered than me.”
He added that he didn’t plan
to knock out the challenger
from Chandler, Ariz., who lias
been near the top of the ratings
for 10 years.
"This will be a good scientific
championship fight,” said Clay.
“As far as humiliating him,
taunting him, talking to him to
bother him, there won’t be any
of that.”
Clay said he told Foliey that
the fight probably wouldn’t end
in a knockout.
The champion said, “I’m not
a knockout lighter. I don’t have
a knockout punch. I just like to
dance and look pretty. I take
ber.” j
This, Nicklaus figured, would
allow time to build up suspense
ior each of the big four. “When
you have two tournaments like
this back-to-back, it’s hard to
create the interest and excite
ment they deserve.”
Nicklaus and the "big four”
go hand-in-hand. This is only
the sixth year on the tour for
the 27-year-old blond bomber
from Columbus, Ohio, but he’s
rated the man to beat in all the
big ones.
Vaults to Third
He won the U. S. Open tn
1962, his first year as a pro;
took the Masters three times
(1963, 1965 and 1966); won the
PGA in 1963 and then added
the British crown last summer.
He has 20 official tour victo
ries in those six years and has
earned more than $555,000 to
vault to third place on the all
time list behind Arnold Palmer
($807,000) and Billy Casper
($012,000), both of whom started
seven years earlier.
But despite this tremendous
record, this would be the first
year that Nicklaus will be eli
gible to play on the Ryder Cup
Team “and I still have to earn
my berth.”
Under PGA rules, a golfer
has to be a member five years
before playing in these prestige
U. S. vs. Great Britain matches.
Thus, although recognized from
tlie start of his career as one
of the top golfers in the world,
Nicklaus was not permitted to
play in 1963 or 1965.
Nicklaus has always been a
slow starter and this year is no
exception. He won the Bing
Crosby National but is only 12th
on the money list so far this

a 292 in the Greater Jackson
ville Open,
“I like to work into shape
slowly,” Nicklaus said. “I didn’t
play much last fall. I haven’t
been happy with my putting but
I can feel that my over - all
game should be ready by Mas

Nicklaus, only man ever to
win two Masters’ titles back-to
back, blamed his poor putting
of recent weeks on an experi
ment that failed.
"I saw a new putter that I
liked the looks of and gave it a
try,” he said, “but I’ve gone
back to my old putter now.”
