Casper
By The Associated Press
CHICAGO -- Confident Billy
Casper, National Open winner a
week ago, became the first repeat-
er for the Western Golf Open title
in 16 years Sunday when he breez-
ed in with a final 70 for 283-the
only sub-par 72 hole total in the
field.
The one-under par victory in.
the $100,000 event was worth $20,-
000 and shot Casper into the PGA
money winning lead for the sea-
son with $69,749.

financial sheet but withered badly
to 289 before the demanding Me-
dinah No. 3 course and never was
in the race in a touted showdown
with Casper.
Casper, woh was 35 years old
Friday, rallied to whip the slump-
ing Palmer in the National Open
at San Francisco last week-tying
him in a final round surge and
doing the same to the collapsing
Arnie in a playoff.

built up between the two great
pros for the Western Open, but

with an exotic diet the last several
years to drop from 225 to 175
pounds, methodically and confi-
dently ground Palmer into the
ground over Medinah's rough 36-
35--71 par rout over a timbered
7,014 yards.
Casper, attributed his fine show-
ing to the fact that he did not
have a single three-putt green.

Casper, who says he is at peace
with himself since he adopted the
Mormon religion, will be in Salt
Lake City for the Mormon Tour-
ney next weekend.
"No, I won't play," said Casper,
"I'll just hang around and help
them give away the trophies."
After that it will be a week of
fishing for Casper, who will then

try for a third straight victory in
the Minnesota Open.
Casper, incidentally, is the last
pro to win three in a row when he
took the Portland Open, Hesperia
and the Orange County Open in
the fall of 1960.
Sam Snead was the last to win
the Western in successive years,
1949-1950, and Ralph Guldahl in
1938 was the only other player
to score two victories in succes-
sion in the National Open and
Western.
$45,000 in One Week
Casper, within a week picking
up $45,000 in cash and much more
in testimonials for his National
and Western victories, fired a
pair of 35s for his 70 to finish
three strokes ahead of second-
place Gay Brewer. Brewer bogied
the 10th and 18th holes for a
34-37-71 and 286 to collect $12,-
000.
Also faltering on the final nine
was young Kermit Zarley with a
36-38-74 and 287, good for a tie
for third with Tommy Aaron, the
third round leader, who closed
with 38-35-73.

NEW YORK-"We have a real
good team-a team that can beat
the Russians-but I hope no one
gets over-optimistic."
Stan Wright of Texas South-
ern, the first Negro coach to head
a U.S. men's track and field team
in major. international competi-
tion, made the comment after the
National AAU Outdoor Champion-.
ships Saturday and Sunday at
Downing Stadium.
The first two men In each event
automatically made the team, but
others will be added to the squad
today to strengthen it for the
aeets with Poland at Berkeley,
Calif., July 16-17 and Russia at
Los Angeles July 23-24.
Gerry Lindgren, the NCAA three-
mile and six-mile champion, who
was forced out of the weekend
Imeet by acute bronchitis, and
Tommy Smith, the injured sprint
sensation from San Jose State,
will be added to the squad.
Other distance runners also will
be added so that Uncle Sam's team
will be able to send in separate
and fresh 5,000 and 10,000 meter
running combinations against the
Poles and Russians.
The emphasis will be on beat-

All through the weekend meet,
many of the athletes talked about
that loss and their hopes of mak-
ing the team and playing a part
in a U.S. victory this year.
Nine sprinters will report to
Wright at the University of
Southern California July 6 to pre-
pare for lengthy drills in baton
passing. A defeat in the 400-meter
relay, usually a cinch event for
the Americans, was the difference
between victory and defeat by the
Russians last year. Botchy pass-
ing resulted in the Americans'
disqualification.
"The most important thing was
getting a place on the team and
d. chance at the Russians," said
19-year-old Jim Ryun, the star of
the meet his 3:58.6 winning mile.'
Ryun, who has just finished his

because nobody wanted it. But
there's too much emphasis on
time. Winning this was the im-
portant thing because it earned me
a place on the team that will meet,

day championships but many of

WIMBLEDON, England-Wim-
bledon's tennis king is dead.
And Dennis Ralston, United
States No. 1 tennis star, is right
in there fighting for the vacated
crown.
Roy Emerson, the wiry Austra-
lian who has won the Wimbledon
title for two years running, was
eliminated yesterday by country-
man Owen Davidson, 6-3, 3-6,
4-6, 4-6.-
Davidson, a brawny left-hander,
thus wrecked the 29-year-old
Queenslander's hopes of becoming
the first man to win the Wimble-
don title three straight times since
England's Fred Perry accomplished
the feat 30 years ago. Emerson
had won in 1964 and 1965.
Costly Fall
A bad fall in the third game of
the second set unsettled the lean
champion after he had easily won
the first set.
With games 1-1 in the second,,
Emerson slipped on the slippery
turf going for a backhand, skid-
ded two yards, and thudded'
against the umpire's chair.
The packed center court was
A hushed as Emerson slowly got up
and felt his left leg. Then the
crowd cheered as the champion'
walked back to the serving line,
apparently unhurt.
Davidson Breaks Service
But the fall took all the steam
aut of Emerson. During the next
few .games he trod warily and
seemed reluctant to put his full
weight on the leg while serving.
This gave Davidson his chance
to take the lead and he got service
break to go ahead 3-2 for a lead
he never dropped in the set.
Davidson, ranked only sixth in
* Australia, never let his advantage
go after that. Although Emerson
began to regain confidence, he still
seemed hesitant to go for his
shots and his normally fast re-
flexes were slower than usual.
Australia's Chances Dim
Three players now have the

chance to break the Australian
domination of Wimbledon-Ral-
ston, Spain's Manuel Santana and
South Africa's Cliff Drysdale.
Ralston plays Drysdale or Tony
Roche, another Australian in the
semifinals. Santana has to play
Ken Fletcher of Australia in the
quarter-finals, and the winner will
take on Davidson in the other
semifinal.
Ralston Tops Hewitt
Ralston played his best tennis
of the tournament yesterday,
crushing Bob Hewitt of Australia,
7-5, 6-2, 11-9 in the quarter-
finals.
Ralston's service-a nightmare
at times last week-was in good
shape at last. He hit five aces
and 38 service winners, and at
the same time collared Hewitt's
service and scored points with a
stream of effective returns.
Ready for Big One
"Yes, I'm happy with my game
now," Ralston said. "This is as
far as I got last year. This time
I'm really ready for the big
prize."
In last year's tournament, Ral-
ston was eliminated by Emerson
in the semifinals.
The last American to win the
Wimbledon title was Chuck Mc-
Kinley in 1963. Otherwise, the
Australians have an unbroken run
of success since 1960.
Ralston had a rest from singles
play yesterday. The two outstand-
ing quarter-finals were scheduled
--Santana vs. Fletcher and Drys-
dale vs. Roche.
