Can He Get Up?
Nicklaus Wants 4th Title
By MILTON RICHMAN
CPI Sports Writer
AUGUSTA, Ga, (UPI) —Jack
Nicklaus, the man who has
everything, now wants a fourth
Masters championship.
And a surprisingly large
number are beginning to feel he
won’t get it because he’s
obviously finding it harder and
harder to get charged up.
In short, the 27-year-old three
time Masters winner has people

wondering whether he hasn’t
grown too complacent.
Nicklaus and four-time winner
Arnold Palmer will go off as 6
to 1 co-favorites in Thursday's
opening round of the Masters
mainly because they have
grabbed off seven of the last
nine titles here between them
and could go around the course
blindfolded and still out-score
many of the 82 other competi
tors.
Nicklaus, as they say, has
done it all, and he has done a
lot of it right here in Augusta
National’s delicately manicured
6,980 yard course.
Holds Record
He holds the Masters’ scoring
record of 271 set in 1965. At 23,
he became the youngest man
ever to win this event in 1963
and last year he became the
first golfer ever to capture two
Masters in a row. Additionally,
he also has won the U.S. Open
As one of only four golfers in
history ever to complete the
cycle of the world’s four major
titles, little Gary Player knows
exactly how Nicklaus feels.
"I don’t get as charged up an
I used to,” he admitted before
venturing out for Tuesday’s
practice round. “When I won
the U.S. Open in St. Louis two
years ago I was so charged up I
didn't know where I was. It’s
pretty nice feeling to achieve
your life’s ambition before
you're 30. Jack has done it, too.
But he told me the same thing.
He said it’s getting hard for
him to get charged up
anymore.”
Nicklaus, concentrating on his
irons during these final practice
sessions, declared he is “as
ready as I’ll ever be” for
Thursday’s opener, but the
truth is he has not been playing
especially well of late although
he did turn in a fine 68 during
one of his practice rounds here
last week while the rest of the
golf gang was competing at
Greensboro, N.C.
“Now I don’t want to read in
the newspapers that I was
criticizing Jack’s game, but in
the last three tournaments I’ve
played with him, he played the
worst I ever saw him do,” said
Player. "He told me so
himself.”

He is Bruce Biossat.
Biossat is pronounced bee-oh-sat. ?' y
From his typewriter come some of the finest inter- 1
pretive writing and factual reporting out of Wash-
ington today. Who would know better than competi- . \ > '
tors and colleagues along the District Line. They
rate Bruce among the tops in the profession.
Biossat in Washington
“Biossat is one of the least publicized—-but nevertheless greatest Washington newsmen of our times/'
a fellow,craftsman said of him.
Bruce is not peddaling a point of view—he’s not a past or future speech writer for any politician nor
an erstwhile government employee seeking to prove any position or disprove any theory.
He reports and relates developments of a real world in a realistic style often spiced with his wry
humor.
Biossat’s present assignment started three years ago after almost 15 years as writer of NEA’s editorial
column. He writes from a broad background of experience, education and travel. His far-ranging re
porting tours through the years, covering hundreds of thousands of miles, enable him to provide insight
into many subjects, including civil rights, politics and economics. He is familiar with the problems of
the laborer, the farmer, the man-on-the-street.
Bruce has covered every major political convention, primary and election campaign since 1948 and
has “collected” a vast network of revealing news sources.
He was born in Chicago and followed family tradition by studying law at the University of Chicago.
He began his journalistic career with the Chicago United Press bureau. He became reporter, desk man
and bureau manager before doing freelance stories and articles for several national magazines.
He’s your man in Washington. Read him regularly in the....

Patterson Thinks
Pressure On Clay
NEW YORK (UPI) —Cassius
Clay, who says he fights better
under pressure, should be at his
best when he defends his
heavyweight Wle against for
mer champ Floyd Patterson
April 25 in Las Vegas.
“I’m not feeling too good for
this fight,” said Clay. “I have
all that draft pressure and other
problems, like having to sell a
couple of my cars and three
days after the fight, I have to
go for induction.”
Patterson, a 32-year-old veter
an with flecks of gray In his
hair, jokingly added, “I’d say
the pressure’s all on him. He’ll
be going in as a 10-1 favorite,
and he’s got to live up to it.”
The last time the two met on
Nov. 22, 1965, in Las Vegas,
Clay stopped Patterson in the
12th round. Patterson was
troubled by a bad back and was
doubled over from pain before
Clay even landed any telling
blows.
Many predicted the loss would
end his career, but Patterson
has fougnt three times since
then with three knockouts to his
credit. The most impressive
were a fourth round kayo of
Henry Cooper last year and a
quick one-round knockout of
Californian Bill McMurray last
week in Pittsburgh.
