Nicklaus Faces Masters Challenge
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP)-Jack Nicklaus is favored, as usual.
But Nicklaus has a challenge going into today's start of the 38th Masters Golf Tournament, his long-awaited eager, young golfers will hunger gungy gloves at his role as the game's top performer.
That could make Jack just that much tougher.
"He's the only player in the world who can turn it on and off when he wants to," she said.
naments this year and the top contender for Nicklaus' crown.
Nicklaus has a history of rising to the challenge and playing his best when he's called up.
Later there were the challenges of Lee Previn and, last year, Tom Weiskopf. The former's season-season run brought him his third straight money-winning title, second Player of the Year award and, most importantly, the 14th triumph in the PGA, his 14th major tour.
As he begins his quest for an unprecedented fifth Masters Championship, Niklaus faces the challenge of the game's young players who have emerged this season with a dominant factor in professional golf.
Royals Top A's Behind Busby
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—John Mayberry and Fred Patek cracked home runs and Steve Busy fired a six-hitter, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 4-1 American League victory over the Oakland A's last night.
Patek led off the fifth with his first home of the season.
Both home runs came off Ken Holtzman. The Royals scored their final run in the eighth on Amos Otis' triple and Fran Healy's double.
Mayberry's home run, his first of the baseball season, came in the first inning and was the first hit by a starter.
Busby, 2-9, yielded only one hit, a single by Joe Rudd in the second innings, until the fourth.
Miller is the leader. He followed his victory in the 1973 U.S. Open with four tournament wins this year, including a crown winner in titles, his winnings total almost $150,000.
If Miller falts there are others to take up the slack:
Jerry Heard, who finished first, second and third in consecutive tournaments earlier this year; Hubert Green, a two-time winner already in 1974. Leonard Thompson, a former U.S. basketball player John Mahaffey, who has been in the running for four titles since the first of the year; Lanny Wadson, a record setter in each of his first winters as a pro; and Ben Crenshaw, the young Texan who made the final on the tour of any rookie since Nicklaus.
Now that All-America quarterback Dave Jaynes is gone, Scott McMichael will have the unesay job of trying to take over that position, a task he "tries not to think
"I think we're opponents," he said. "He passed most of the time, and I like to run. People will compare our throwing and I don't throw as well as he does, but I'll throw when I have to throw and run when I have to跑."
McMichael, a 6-foot-3, 187 pound sophomore from Shawnee Mission, was red-shirted all last season with a broken collarbone. The break is completely healed, but McMichael missed on a year's excursion. That doesn't seem to bother him, however.
"I feel it will take a couple of games to get the experience I need," he said. "That's the trouble—in spring practice you can't get the real game experience. You can't tell how well you'll do until you get into the first game.
"I think that the experience I really need won't be in those first few games. I won't be experienced until the Big Eight season starts."
"Our number one concern in spring practice has been to change the offense," he said. "It's a pretty big change but not all that difficult to learn. The main difference is in the running attack. The veer offers more in the way of a running offense."
Even if he doesn't take Jaynes' place, McMichael has a job to do in practice this spring. That job is to make the change from the pro-set offense, which was built around Jaynes' passing, to the veer offence, which relies equally on passing and running.
McMichael that because of the veer, he had to read the defensive alignments
"Basically, you don't read defenses that much," he said. "But the vet is a 50-50-type offense balanced between running and rushing, and the defense a lot more to worry about."

To compound the problem of making the bag offensive switch, Kansas has a new offensive backfield coach, Bobby Baldwin. The team McCaller MCullers, who left KU this spring.
"The new coach isn't slowing us down at
all," McMichael said. "He knows what he means. If only a number of getting used users know that you are responsible."
"It depends on the situation," he said. "It will change play by play and from team to
since the offense has geared from a predominantly passing attack to a balanced offense, McMichael plans to use the new run-and-pass offense to its greatest extent. Whether he runs the most of passes the most will depend on the situation.

I'll probably stick to the draw or pass.
"I like to mix it up a lot. I enjoy keeping the defense on their toes."
McMichael said he didn't prefer either the run or the pass. that he liked them both and would use whatever is called upon in any game situation.
"I'm a roll-out type quarterback," he said. "I like to have the option of running or passing. I guess this is what I really prefer."
Because McMichael was red-shirted last year, he has still has three full years of eligibility left. He said that being on the sidelines during the entire season helped him.
"I think it really helped me," he said. "I spent most of my time watching opposing defenses and charting them for the coaches."
Being on the sidelines, McMichael said,
did have its drawbacks, however.
