Pahner won it in 1962 and last year while Nicklaus, fresh from winning the Masters at Augusta for the second year in a row, was the T. of C. cham-

pion in 1963-64.

But the field this year is one of the strongest in a decade with such stars as Gary Player, Doug Sanders, Gay Brewer, Tony Lema and Billy Casper. In fact, nine of the 11 leading money winners of 1966 were in

the starting field.

The 72-hole tournament is played over the par 72, 7,209yard Desert Inn Country Club course which is the kind of a layout that favors long hitters such as Palmer and Nicklaus. But Player can’t be ruled out even though in three tournaments so far this year he has been something less than a standout. In a practice round Wednesday, the little South African carded a solid four-under-

par 68.

Meanwhile, Pont pointed with pride at the recruiting efforts of his staff, which yielded acceptance by 26 prospects in an initial mailing of 27 Big Ten tenders. That should give IU a “very good freshman group," Pont said.

MIGHTY MTTE INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Mario Andretti of Nazareth, Pa., the United States Auto Club’s national driving champion for 1965, is one of those “good little men.” The 25-year-old native of Italy weighs 138 pounds and is five feet, six inches tall.
