With one out in the seventh. Aaron has lead; Jack one back AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Tommy Aaron, once a distraught, central figure in one of golf’s greatest controversies, saun tered home with a solid, four-under-par 68 and a one stroke lead over manacing Jack Nicklaus in yesterday’s first round of the Masters. Nicklaus, the famed Golden Bear who is heavily favored to win a record fifth Masters title, had to rally from an un certain, erratic start for his 69 that was matched by Japan’s Jumbo Ozaki. Ozaki, 25, has been a golf professional only since 1969 and spent several seasons before that as a star pitcher in the Japanese professional baseball leagues. He’s th§ current New Zealand PGA champ and is making only his second ap pearance in the Masters. Nicklaus, the defending champion, centered his rally around the par fives he birdied the last three of them on the 6,980-yard, par 72 Augusta National Golf Club course and lipped out a long, long birdie putt on the 18th hole that would have tied him with the softspoken, sweet-swinging Aaron. “The wind was tricky, swirling,” Nicklaus said. “Con sidering the conditions and the fact that 1 never knew what was coming out of the bag, I was quite happy with the round.” Arnold Palmer wasn't. “I’m disgusted,” Palmer said after he struggled and strained for a fat 77, the highest opening round he’s had in two decades of competition in this event he won four times. “I think I’m just going to have to get away from the game for a while and practice. “I’m gonna have to get away for a month or so, or until I start playing better, or ...” And he left the sentence unfinished. He wasn’t alone in his difficulties in the sunny, windy weather that greeted the usual massive gallery of some 30,000. Lee Trevino and Australian Bruce Crampton, each a two time winner already this season, matched 745. As usual when he’s had a poor round, Trevino hurried from the course without talking to newsmen. in opener; rest start play today Dave Rader and Marichal walked.

Yet as I was coming out of the house this morning, who was jogging down the road but Gary Gittings.” Groves continued that "if he doesn’t catch penumonia, he’ll be a good one.” Gittings is the Lions’ two miler, a 5-11 145-pound junior who wound up as eighth best in the nation last year and finished fourth in the In tercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of America Championships (IC4A) 3-mile last spring. Gittings and teammates start another season tomorrow morning, travelling to the Georgetown Relays. Field events there begin at 11 a.m., track events about an hour later. Despite the fact Groves sees him as one of the country’s best two-milers again this season, “one of the most promising runners” around, Gittings views himself as simply another runner. “I wasn’t the only runner in the rain,” he said. “All the distant men were out there running. That’s nothing special. I’m just an example of all the guys and coach Groves just happened to see me that day.” Gittings, a former PIAA mile and half-mile champ from Baldwin High, said he, and all the distant men, run twice a day, five miles in the morning and 10 to 15 miles in the afternoon. “It depends,” Gittings said, “but we do this Monday through Thursday then do around 10-15 miles on Friday, the meet is Saturday and then 10 or 15 more on Sunday. Usually, we are judged ac- featuring cording to miles per week, not daily.” Gittings began talking about his best times when he stopped abruptly and said, “It's unfair to single me out. It’s not fair to the whole team. You don’t single out in dividual guys from the whole team. All the guys do the same things.” But there’s no denying Groves has a solid plank to stand on when he terms Gittings an up-and-coming good one. Last March at the IC4A indoor championships in Princeton Gittings brought attention to himself by finishing third in the two-mile to a pair of dandies from Manhattan, Mike Keough and Walter Squires. His time of 8:47.7 is his career best. Groves said no one knew it just then but “Gary showed then that he might go. His performance was no surprise to us.” Gittings remembered the big race and recalled he was “pleasantly surprised. I felt I did well.” To prove the finish was no fluke, two weeks later in Detroit Gary beat Squires in the NCAA two-mile. Groves said in the NCAA event only 12 runners were picked, “on a performance basis.” Gittings was in Detroit because he deserved to be. Gittings, whose career best in the 3-mile, 13:54, came in last spring's IC4A, has been plagued by injuries throughout his career and was bouncing back from one when he placed fourth in the ip4A 3-mile. “He was just an extra guy we grought along," Groves remembered, “but he im pressed everyone. He im proved his time 40 seconds in the trials.” Gary has run fewer events than he'd like in the past but Groves beams and says “it matters only that you finish first when it counts.” Explaining the transition from a high school miler to college three-miler, Gittings said the reason he no longer runs the mile is that “I run a lousv one."
