’Dogs Begin Rebuilding
Grid Team Wednesday
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) — Re
building the Univiersity of Geor
gia's SEC co-championship foot
ball team will begin Wednesday
when head coach Vince Dooley
blows the whistle to signal the
beginning of spring football
practice.
Rebuilding the line will be
the coaches’ biggest challenge.
The team lost defensive taekle
George Patton; offensive tackle
Jack Davis; guards Jimmy
Cooley and Dick Phillips; ends
Jerry Varnado, Martin Tootle
and Frank Richter; and center
John Kasay.
Losing linebacker Steve Neu
haus and safetyman Lynn
Hughes add to the problems,
but Dooley is obviously pleased
with the full house of backs
that will be returning this sea
son.
“It won’t be easy finding re
placements for athletes who
give you what these men gave
Georgia in 1966, and for three
straight years,” said Dooley.
“We do have some good ath-

Lamenting losses as most big

he said, "We have only four
games at home and we know
the SEC will be tough as
usual. This is a tough league,

Mike Shannon went to third
base like a tourist this spring
while Deron Johnson moved
back to the position like a guy
going home.
But if Monday’s exhibition
games were any indication, the
position is agreeing with both
players despite their opposite
backgrounds at third base.
Shannon, who had never
played the position before spring
training, rapped out three hits
to boost his exhibition average
to .364 as the St. Louis
Cardinals whipped the Minneso

Career Fielder
Shannon has been an outfiel
der throughout his career
although he has occasionally
caught. But he has only a .263
lifetime average and now that
the Cardinals have picked up
Roger Maris, he can’t break
into their Maris-Lou Brock-Curt
Flood outfield. If he can make
it at third base, it’ll bolster the
Cardinal attack.
Johnson looked like the
majors next great hitter in 1965
when he drove in 130 runs, hit
32 homers and had a .287
average while playing third
base. But last year, when he
was switched to the outfield, it
took him half a season to adjust
and he wound up hitting just
.257 with 81 RBIs.
But this year manager Dave
Bristol has put Johnson back on
third and he’s expected to stick.

Nicklaus, Palmer Are
Masters Co-Favorites
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sports Writer
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) —
Arnold Palmer, the co-favorite,
signed in, took care of a minor
problem, and cited Jack Nick
laus as his next major one in
the way of a fifth masters golf
championship.
Palmer’s immediate problem
was getting a haircut.
“If I don’t get one soon,” he
said, “they’ll be handing me a
violin.”
But he had no trouble
tracking down a barber, and
then had equally little trouble
Horsemen Want
More In Purse
By RAY AYRES
UFI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPl)—Aqueduct
racetrack faced a shutdown
after today’s racing following a
vote by horsemen Monday
evening not to enter horses until
an additional one per cent of
the betting was earmarked for
purses.
At a meeting in a dining room
at the track attended by more
than 300 owners and trainers,
the horsemen decided they were
tired of talk and wanted action
and felt the olny way to get it
was to stop racing. It was the
biggest attendance at a New
York Horsemen’s Benevolent
and Prot e c t ive Association
meeting since its foundation.
The New York division of the
HBPA pointed out that purses
had remained static for years
despite rising costs and that the
state’s share of the mutuel
nandle continued to rise. It
demanded that it be given a
bigger share of the betting
pools.
Good Start
The HBPA had requested this
in a letter to Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller. The Governor, in
his budget message to the state
legislature, asked one-half of
Fairmont Clips
E. Depot, 7-2
The Fairmont High Bears ran
their record to 2-0 Monday by
downing East Depot High of La-
Grange 7-2.
Fairmont scored seven runs on
a dozen hits and made only one
Athletics 4-2 on Willie Stargell’s
two-run pinch homer in the
ninth.
The Washington Senators took
advantage of Jim Bouton’s
wildness to score three runs in
the first inning en route to a 7-2
victory over the Yankees.
Bouton gave up seven rims on
six hits and five walks in four
innings.
Ruben Amaro hit a homer for
the Yankees—after learning he
lost his job. The Yanks got John
Kennedy from the Dodgers in a
trade for John Miller and Jack
Cullen and manager Ralph
Houk immediately announced
that the good field, no hit
Kennedy is his starting short
stop.
Falcon Ticket
Sales May
Reach 50,000
ATLANTA (UPI) — General
Manager Frank Wall has an
nounced a record number of
season tickets have been sold to
Atlanta Falcons football games.
Wall said Monday that 46,438
season tickets have been sold,
breaking last year’s record of
45,000. He said renewal orders
were received from 95 per cent
of the 1966 season ticket hold
ers.
Wail said season ticket sales
may be allowed to reach as
high as 50,000. The stadium

over the familiar 6,980-yard
Augusta National course as he
got in his first practice licks
Monday for Thursday’s opening
round of this four-day, 72-hole
tournament.
There are 84 entries in the
field and the oddsmakers like
the chances of Palmer and
Nicklaus best.
That’s to be expected because
between them they have mono
polized seven of the last nine
Masters’ titles and whereas
Palmer is shooting for his fifth
win here, Nicklaus is going for
his third straight.
one per cent of the betting pools
be allocated to purses and the
horsemen decided to accept it
as a start in the right direction.
A bill passed the state senate
but it died in committee in the
assembly and the horsemen
were up in arms.
“Your board of directors
recommends that nobody enters
horses for Wednesday and not
do it until we get some purse
relief. We should not race under
these conditions,” Jack J.
Dreyfus Jr. told the meeting.
AU in Favor
The statement was greeted by
clapping and cheers. When the
vote was taken, almost every
body in the room rose to be
counted as being in favor of the
action.
Tax experts estimate that
New York State will lose about
$347,000 daily with Aqueduct
closed down. And how long it
will remain closed through lack
of horses was problematical.
The legislature is not sche
duled to reconvene until next
Jan. 1 although it could be
called into special session by
the governor.
However, a spokesman for the
governor said "there are no
immediate plans” toward call
ing a special meeting.

on four hits and played error

Oscar Daniels started and pit

for Fairmont. He left the game
with arm trouble. Ralph Cope

“HOME OF INSTANT SERVICE”
Palmer and Nicklaus both are
pegged at 6-1 by the boys who
sit down and come up with
figures on these things. U.S.
Open champ Billy Casper, Doug
Sanders and Gay Brewer, a
ncar-winner last year, are
grouped at 8-1, while South
Africa’s little Gary Player and
former U.S. Open titlist Julius
Boros will go off at 10-1.
Os all those who signed their
names in the official entry book
Monday, none looked more
relaxed nor more at home than
the sun-tanned, trim-looking 37-
year-ola Palmer, who scored his
victories here in 1958, 1960, 1962
and 1964.
From the way he’s been
playing, Palmer should look
relaxed.
He has won two tournaments
already this year, the Los
Angeles and Tucson opens; he’s
at the top of the money
winnings lists with official
earnings of $54,673; he was 13
under par and finished third at
Greensboro, N.C., this past
week and there’s something
about the local course that
always gets his adrenalin
working.
As Good As Ever
“There’s really no part of my
game that I’m particularly
concerned about," he admitted.
“Oh, I’d like to be a little more
sure of my putting, and I’ll
work on it the next few days.
But my scoring has been as
good as it’s ever been.
While Palmer was competing
at Greensboro last week,
Nicklaus was here practicing in
his usual manner before the
event. He went back home to
Columbus, Ohio, Sunday but he
still was on everyone’s mind,
including Palmer’s.
“Who do you think is the
golfer you’ll have to beat?”
Palmer was asked.
“You mean other than Jack,"
he answered almost automati
cally. “Well, Jack is always
tough and you know he’s gonna
be particularly tough on this
course. After him, I suppose
it’ll be the same old gang.
Fellows like Casper, Player and
Sanders. Boros, too. Sanders
has been putting especially well
and Casper has had a long rest.
He should be ready.”
