TUESDAY, APRIL 11. 1961 Palmer Wilts; Wins Masters By HUGH FULLERTON JR. Associated. Press Sports Writer AUGUSTA; Ga. (,4')—Gary Player, the bold little man from South Africa, won the Masters golf title by a stroke yesterdaY. Arnold Palmer blew to a double bogey 6 on the last hole in his bid to repeat as champion. Player ,with an erratic 74 in the rain-delayed final round fin ished with a 72-hole score of 280, 8 under par for the four rounds over the nerve-wracking 6,980- yard par 36-36-72 Augusta Na tional course. Palmer, who had a second straight Masters title in his pock et up to the final•hole, finished in a tie with amateur Charlie Coe, two-times U.S. amateur cham pion, one stroke behind at 281. It was the sixth straight year that the Masters title has hung on the last few strokes. Palmer won it last year by shooting birdies on the last two holes. Yesterday, needing only a par at the 18th to beat Player by a stroke, he hit into a sand trap, cuffed the ball like a duffer around the green of the 420-yard' hole and came in a stroke behind with a last round 71. Player, a slightly-built sombre looking figure who wears an all black .costume on the course car ried a four stroke lead into yes terday's play after torrential rains had washed out Palmer's bid for the title Sunday. The sched uled Sunday finals were canceled after Palmer cut Player's lead to two strokes. Yesterday Player set out as if to wrap up the title and the $20,000 prize money early, shooting birdies on the first two holes.

Gary went three over par with a bogey 5 on the 10th hole and double bogey 7 at the 475-yard 13th and Palmer caught hfni. Then Player bogeyed the long 15th and Palmer, shooting sure par golf, moved a stroke ahead. At that stage it appeared all over. Palmer had fired a 3-under par 33 on the front nine and hadn't missed his par for eight holes coming back. Player, who finished about a half hour ahead, was sitting in the lounge of Augusta Nation al's quaint clubhouse watching the action on the television screen and grimacing with ev ery shot when it happened. Palmer got off a fair drive on the 18th. He hit his second shot badly and it rolled into a trap at the right of the green as a gal lery of some 7,500 looked on. Obviously shaken Palmer hesi tated about selecting a club, then banged his trap shot clear across the green into the crowd and' down a bank. He had to get down from there in two to tie. But his pitch stopped some 15 feet be yond the cup and he failed to make the putt coming back. DEAR DR. FROOD: Every guy I go out with thinks he's Casanova. What should a girl do?

Dr. Frood has been called by government officials to unveil his extraordinary "Luckies for Peace Plan." Questioned about this plan, Frood replied: "The details are still classified, but it all started when I discovered that college students smoke more Luckies than an other regular. This led me to believe that if all the world's peoples would but lean back and light up a Lucky, they would be too happy to be belligerent." CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change!

Our college has just completed a magnificent carillon tower. Yesterday, while examining the blueprints, I was horrified to dis- cover that the tower will collapse at 3:30 P.M., June 3, 1964. I have taken my calculations to the dean, to the architects, to the builders, to the president of the college. No one will pay any attention to me. I am desperate. What can I do to avert disaster? DEAR FRANTIC: You've done your best, son. Now, for your own peace of mind, won't you join me in a short trip to Las Vegas to see what kind of odds we can get? DEAR DR. FROOD: I've been writing poems to a certain girl for about five months. Yesterday 1 found out that this girl and her friends get together to read my poems and laugh at them. Do you think I should stop writing to her? DEAR UPSET: Definitely not. There are ali too few hum ous poets writing today. PA ttl Irs hsi 1114 t's Here!
