Putting power
Casper in charge

AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI)
Precision-putting Billy Casper,
never better than fourth in a
dozen previous tries but
convinced No. 13 may be his
lucky charm, grabbed the
opening round lead of the
Masters golf tournament
yesterday by shooting a
6-under-par 66.
The 37-year-old Californian, who just two weeks ago had to drop out of a tournament when an old allergy flared up, had six birdies and nary a bogey in what he called "probably one of the finest putting rounds I've had in some time." He finished a stroke ahead of Bruce Devlin and George Archer, both with 67s.
Three-time champion Jack Nicklaus, only man ever to win the Masters two years in a row (1965-66) and the favorite this year, vaulted into contention with an eagle-3 at the 520-yard 15th hole and wound up two strokes back at 68.
Gene Littler, who has won more money so far this year ($86,818) than any golfer ever won this early, headed a list of 3-under-par 69 shooters that included amateur Bruce Fleisher, Australian Bruce Crampton, Lionel Hebert, Dan Sikes, Mason Rudolph, and Bert Yancey—the third place finisher in each of the past two Masters.
Defending champion Bob Goalby, so discouraged about
BILLY CASPER
the way he's been playing since last year's Masters that he plans to take a vacation, surprised himself with a 70 where he was tied with 1959 Masters champion Art Wall, Canadian George Knudson, and New Zealander lefthander Bob Charles.
Four-time champion Arnold Palmer, sadly admitting he will never win again unless he plays better than he did yesterday, shot a 1-over-par 73 that included bogeys on each of his last two holes. Palmer, who said he "wasted four shots from the 12th hole in," complained, "My play around the greens was pretty bad."
KU, K-State soccer teams collide Sunday in key battle
What could be a preview of the Big Eight soccer championship match will be played at 2 p.m. Sunday on the field southwest of Robinson Gymnasium.
KU and Kansas State, co-favorites in the Big Eight soccer tournament April 26-27, will be meeting for the first time this spring. The two split their games last spring. The Jayhawks triumphed 2-0 at Manhattan and the Wildcats won 4-1 in Lawrence.
Fred Mandel, KU coach, said he expects a close and probably not a high-scoring game. Four goals should win it, Mandel feels.
Mandel said that if KU can set up their center forward, Guy Darlan, in a one-on-one situation with a Wildcat defender the Jayhawks should be able to
The Jayhawks will try to get the ball up fast on offense, Mandel said, and try to catch the defense before it can set up. KU will be relying on speed to get behind the Wildcats defense.
score. Darlan is KU's leading scorer this spring.

The one K-State player who could give Darlan a tough time is Mau-win Chow. But K-State Coach Hank Reuter said Chow probably would not make the trip because of an injury.
Reuter said he is expecting some scoring punch from his center forward, Pete Hess, and his right inside forward, Regis Leal.
Pirates complete St. Louis sweep
Reuter agreed with Mandel that the game would be close.
(From UPI Releases)
The Jayhawk goalee, Jose Fonseca, was singled out by Reuter as a problem for the Wildcats. He said Fonesca was an excellent goalee and that if K-State was going to score they would have to hit the upper corners of the goal.
"K-State's scores have been high in the past," he said. "But these two teams are so evenly-matched either one could win."
Willie Stargell's run-scoring single in the eighth inning Thursday gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-2 victory and a sweep of their three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The KU and K-State B teams will play a game at noon Sunday.
In other games, Tommie Agee's two homers and reliever Cal Koonce's ninth inning relief help gave rookie Gary Gentry his first major league win, as the Mets beat the Montreal Expos 4-2.
In Chicago, homers by Ron Santo, and Randy Hundley powered the Cubs to a 6-2 trouncing of Philadelphia.
In the American league, burly Frank Howard walloped two homers—his third and fourth in three games, and the Washington Senators raked the New York Yankees, 9-6, with a 16-hit attack.
Howard drilled a "wrong field" homer over the right field fence with a man on in the first off loser Fritz Peterson. Brank Alyea followed with a two-run smash in the same inning to give the Senators a quick 4-0 lead.

Bill Freehan smacked the second grand slam homer of his career and followed it with a solo shot his next time up as the Detroit Tigers romped to their second straight victory, 12-3 over the Cleveland Indians.
Boog Powell singled off reliever Juan Pizarro with none out in the 13th inning to score Frank Robinson from second base and give the Baltimore
745 N.H.
Orioles a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox.
Robinson reached second base when he doubled down the right field line. The play, hotly-disputed by the Red Sox, saw first base umpine Emmett Ashford contested by manager Dick Williams and first baseman Ken Harrelson.
Timmons
(Continued from page 8) that event since discus ace Doug Knop dropped the event.
Timmons has been campaigning to get the hammer throw, along with the 3,000-meter steeplechase and 6-mile run, into the Big Eight Outdoor. But the event has drawn so little interest that a paltry 90-9 throw earned a bronze medal in last year's KU Relays.
Squash fear hinders IMs
Over half of the intramural volleyball teams failed to make appearances Wednesday night as nine of the 16 scheduled games were decided by forfeit.
Could it be that the addition of squash to the intramural program has frightened the average fearless, die-hard volleyball player?

Why does a perfect size7 look perfect only21 days every month?
It has nothing to do with calories. It's a special female weight gain... caused by temporary water-weight build-up. Oh, you know... that uncomfortable full feeling that sneaks up on you the week before your menstrual period. This fluid retention not only plays havoc with your looks but how you feel as well. (It puts pressure on delicate nerves and tissues, which can lead to pre-menstrual cramps and headaches, leaves emotions on edge.)
That's why so
That's why so many women take PAMPRIN $ ^{4} $ It gently relieves water-weight gain to help prevent pre-menstrual puffiness, tension, and pressure-caused cramps.
PAMPRIN makes sure a perfect size 7 never looks less than perfect. Nor feels less than perfect, either.
