The Big Red Machine May Be Called Back
By United Press International
There are so many defects in this year's model of the "Big Red Machine" that it may have to be recalled any day now.
The Cincinnati fans are finding it unsafe in any game.
The Reds, who started out last season with a 70-30 record before last year, limped into the 1971 season with three regulars and two pitchers that were outstanding, surprising that the defending National League champions have

Masters Begins
Nicklaus Eager for a Grand Slam
AUGUSTA. Ga. (UPI) -- Jack Nelliswauk will play off today on the second leg of the "grand slam." He and his team won the 11th major title six weeks ago when he won the PGA champion and the favorite of the 35th Masters golf tournament begins its four-day journey over the famed Augusta National.

Yesterday, however, I saw softball from a new position and in a new light. In two independent slow-pitch games I was the UMPire — Boo! Hiss! Kill the bum! — (Even the word wumpire has kind of an unfriendly sound. Like vampire).
Softball started a week ago today in the midst of chilly temperatures and high winds plus a little uncertainty in the inference of how much practice will be needed. The games ARE being played as originally scheduled and with the help of spring fever almost all of the teams are showing up when they arrive.
Reporting for duty I picked up a scorecard, three tattoos, two medals and a trophy. The hat that had most of the white beaten off of it needed for field 6. It was a fine day for softball and I could feel a bright sun warning my back as I leaned over to position the bases I had
I have played countless pre-collegiate softball games including a list of games at pennies, during family reunions, with the girls from my high school, and when I was in junior high. I liked to play pitcher or catcher because you always got in the action and you didn't have far to go.

"Batter up, " I yelled. I had heard umps call this before and was pretty confident that it was appropriate. Now the action was starting and I had to decide which pitches were balls, which balls and which hills and if that guy was safe or out a, I was getting more nervous.
The office is presently phoning each team manager to inform him of his team's next game. In addition schedules, giving times for all the games this season for every team, are now available in 208 Robinson Gym
row when he repeated in 1966.
It seems that if your team is not doing well the traditional American thing to do is yell at the pig. Therefore, since close plays and close calls are intended for both teams the unpire is bound to be the villain in this melodrama of hats, balls and
The bredought and the Ball-tteam, slow-pitch teams, quickly signed in their lineups and the contest started. Supposed two umpires are to work each game but because of a shortage I was the only one, I decided to stand behind the pitcher in order to call the bases as well as the pitches. It is, however, a challenging task to manage the pitcher. This was my first time and I was slightly nervous.
row when he repeated in 1966. If Nicklaus should win here this week he would tie Arnold "almer as a four-time champion."
Then there was a close play at first base. The first baseman had to jump off the bag momentarily to catch a high throw while the runner dashed across the base. I called him safe and was able to run over him with the ball. Team I ignored it and was beginning to feel more of myself.
The Breadnought coach seemed to be the loudest yeller, but then, his team lost 8-4 to the Ballteam bunch.
In the second game Iumped that day the DB's best McColm 5 East 14-10. By the end of the game I realized that, like the guys who were playing, I too had had fun. I was always in the action and I didn't have far to walk when the inning was over —
Four-man teams check the bulletin board for playing times. If you have problems get in touch with Randy Julian.
Course Not Easy
Umpis are still needed for softball so why don't you get yourself together and come down to intramural field. Margie, the girl with the brown eyes, has not been feeling well and may need help. You get her, but sign up again. Get well Margie, they need you.

The Masters Golf Tournament
starting in Augusta, Ga. today
will be played on one of the most
well-known courses in the
United States.
The Augusta National course was hand-carved from an old nursery. There are 365 acres of tumbling hills, water courses and trails.
The force behind the tournamen is Clifford Roberts—an investment banker—who with his company co-founded the event in 1934.
Jones designed the course with the idea of balancing rather than defeating nature. Part of the thrill of the Masters Tournament is the challenge to win each course. It is a showplace of Georgia Pines, camellias, thimbleberry, woodbine and flowering cherry. It has ponds and brooks lined with high grass and filled with water lilies and watercress.
But it is the greens that make the course the work of a true artist. Jones did a super job on them. They are large, many are green and they wieldy. They test the daring and nerve of a player. In 1955, on the par five 138 in an area known as "Amen Corner." Cary Midroff sank a 75-foot in. In 1988 Ford three-nutted from nine feet.
The 13th is the first of the televised holes and is a dangerous 745-yard pivot hole. It is accurate and "positioned" drive
if one is to reach the green in two,
feature of this hole is the hole
in the lower right green in front with well-
positioned bunkers at the side
of the wall.
The 15th is a long par five 520-yard hole. This hole demands a good drive properly positioned near the top of a rising terrain. The front entrance to the green is guarded by a large pond which overlooks the Masters' hopefuls in the past. The green is large and undulating.
The 14th is a tough par four, 420-yard hole that is uphill most of the way with a slight dogle to the left. The kidney-shaped green at a right angle to the approach is covered by an arc for accuracy for the long approach shot.
The 16th is the "picture hole." It is a tough 190-yard par three. The tee shot must carry over a long water hazard which runs up to right up to the green on the left. Bunkers guard the right side.
The 17th hole, because of trees,
a 400-yard par four that four
houses a bunker down the middle. The green is elevated and demands a good
well-balanced game.
The 18th is a great finishing hole measure 420 yards in length, and the narrow coming off the tee and bankers offer some concern for the long driver. The tricky approach to guarded green that is perhaps the toughest putting test of all. The Masters has been won or lost here.

The 6,850-yard- pat. 27 August National is not quite up to its usual lush shape this year and will probably be wet. Weather is expected to be a factor this week since the weatherman predicts the cold will continue through the weekend of rain for Sunday's final round.

could be attributed to the temporary loss of outfielder Tommy John, who has pulled a hamstring muscle. So far pitching has been perfect.
Temple said the Jayhawks are not a great fielding team and have not won in front of many problems with the glove. He said the pitchers and infielders would be able to play well.
Kansas started out the conference the same way last year dropping three straight to 16-4 and five straight victories—two over Kansas State and a sweep over Colorado. The Jayhawks were in the conference race all the way and Indiana behind Iowa last season.
The Tigers return all-Big Eight pitcher Bill Todd and all-league catcher Steve Patchain among 13 in back from last year's 121 club.
The Jayhaws took two of three from Mizouza in Lawrence last season, their first series victory. Since taking two of three in 1962.
