A Golf s Sun scorched nomads moved into Rochester monday and came to two Quick conclusions about the 68th . Open championship starting thurs Day Bill Casper appears to be the Man to beat for the title. The 6,962-Yard, Par 70 Oakhill course favors the sniper and not the slugger you have to Jab her into submission you can t Knock her out. This is not a Muscleman course said tall Tom Weis Kopf rated one of the game longest hitters. To win Here you have to keep the Ball in the Fairway. If you miss the Fairway the rough will kill Rangy 6-3 Star of the win Ter tour said the course woul favor a steady consistent Driver on the order of Casper and Lee Trevino the Swarthy mexican american from Elpaso Tex. The colourful loquacious Trev Ino who has won More than $60,000 so far this year agree heartily but acknowledges that Casper s chances Are Bette than his own. You have to go with Cas per Trevino said. He s hav ing a great year and he s a Fader. This is definitely a Fader a not a Hooker s Trevino s Contention that the course is so Laid out As to favor the Man who hits the bal from left to right. Casper does and no one likes Casper s chances better than the Placid mormon himself who came Here after winning his fourth tournament Victory of the year at Indianapolis and boost ing his Money winnings to a unprecedented $120,000-plus for the first half of the season. I have never played Bette Golf than i am playing right now the 36-year-old Caspe said. My attitude is Good. I have never driven or played my Irons better. I have a Little trouble with my putting but Don t Weall Casper was asked for an appraisal of the Oak Hill rough described As nightmarish by Weiskopf defending Champi Onjack Nicklaus and others who have been practising Here.

This idol of sports fans had All the ingredients for such a admired position. He was big and fast. He was Strong and Quick. He put on a Good show of skill and fans cheered his courage to sustain a Lucky punch or two and fight his Way Back up. He was clean Cut in appearance and he boxed the same Way out of the ring he was the patriotic respectable and decent Type of person you would expect of a Man of his did he go today you have three recognized champions depending on which country or state in the . You re from or depending on what you think it takes to be regarded the world s heavyweight boxing Champion if you agree with this Korner there is Only one genuine Wayto determine the Best fighter amid the big boys. That s to put two men in the ring and let pm swing leather. A boxing championship should be determined in the ring like baseball Champion ships on a Diamond football crowns in a stadium Tennis title son a court and so Forth. And an unbeaten boxing Champion who has officially won the world title should retain that distinction until someone beats him. In the ring the reap ring Champ unbeaten cassias Clay is still the people s Choice and ring Magazine s pick As world heavyweight boxing Champion. In the ring.
