Palmer, Rosburg
Take Masters Lead
AUGUSTA, Ga. Rl—Erratic Bob Rosburg copied Arnold
Palmer's patented,finish yesterday in the opening of the 25th
Masters Golf Tournament and gained a tie with power
hitting Palmer for the first-round lead.
Each shot a 4-under-par-68 on a wet, uncomfortable day
when par at Augusta National re
siste all but a few efforts to
break it.
Palmer, whose birdies in the
last • two holes of the final
round a year ago brought his
second Masters title, was out in
front all the way yesterday.
Starting with a birdie on the
second hole, he posted a steady
string of the red figures that
indicate under-par totals on the
Masters scoreboard.
Rosburg, a pudgy Californian
with an unorthodox "baseball"
grip, got his 68 by shooting birdies
on four of the last six holes, one
on a 100-foot putt. Up to that
time, he had been shooting even
par and was hardly rated one of
the first-round contenders.
These two were only a stroke
ahead of Gary Player, the slight
but strong South African who
says he has added 25 yards to the
distance of his drives since last
year. Two strokes back at 70 was
Jack Nicklaus, the muscular 1959
U.S. amateur champion.
Tied at 71 the only other
par breakers were, 49-year
old Byron Nelson, who won the
Masters in 1937 and 1942: and
three members of golf's regu
lar touring brigade Doug
Ford, Paul Harney and Johnny
Pott.
It was a day when strength
helped on the sprawling 6,980-
yard par 36-36-72 Augusta Na
tional course. Rain slowed the
course and the greens a bit but
didn't make it really soggy.
Tigers Rap White Sax
SARASOTA, Fla. (/?) The
Detroit Tigers scored five un
earned runs in the second inning
yesterday and pinned a 7 to 2 loss
on Herb Score and the Chicago
White Sox.

Opens Against
Champion Navy
Earnie Baer's lacrosse team may
be one of his best in recent years,
but it has a pretty big bill to fill'
tomorrow afternoon at Annapolis
against Navy's defending National
champs. -
The Middies again are rated as
one of the strongest teams in the
nation. They displayed the same
power that carried them to the'
championship last year when they
dumped a strong Rutgers team,l
12-3, in their opener.
A jinx dating back to 1919 will'
also make things tough for the
Lions. That year Navy beat Penn
State, 13-0, and since then the'
Middies have won 30 straight con-1
tests. Last year Navy drubbed the'
stickmen, 17-3.
But Baer isn't worried. "We
have a good team," he said, "and
we are going to give them a real
battle."
The Lions have looked good in
three pre-season games and Baer
feels confident they will improve
on last year's 1-9 record.
Impressive Log
Penn State football teams have
won 69 games and have made two
winning post-season bowl appear
ances under coach Rip Engle.
Engle-coached State teams have
lost 31 times while tying four.
