Since then, Zoeller has suffered recurring back problems,, at times not being able to bend over to pick the ball out of the* cup, and on occasion not being able to play at all.

One of the most colorful and outgoing golfers currently on the pro tour, Zoeller is a favorite of the gallery, talking and joking with them as he plays the round. Zoeller told Palace of Sports officials he was honored to be named 1982 King of Sports, but won’t be able to attend his coronation and parade due to a previous committment at the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic. A Zoeller visit to North Webster is tentatively planned for later in the summer. Zoeller is a native of New Albany, where he resides with wife Dianne and daughters, Sunnye Noel and Heidi Leigh. The International Palace of Spores in North Webster will display a wax figure in Zoeller’s likeness in the Kingdom of Golf; a sculptured wall medallion in his likeness in the King of Sports Fountain of Fame Foyer of the palace, and his oil painting in the museum’s Royal Gallery. Bid-rigging The Justice Department has opened multistate investigations into collusive bidding by water and sewer and electrical contractors.

Stats not discouraging
By PETE FRITCHIE ’ WASHINGTON. D C. - How s the new U.S. Football League doing? Tentative statistics are not discouraging. Some teams seem likely to make money or break even this first year — Denver, which has had its troubles. Tampa and Oakland. The lowest attendance in the league is at Boston, where the Breakers have averaged only something over 10,000 per game as this is written. They may move. Yet TV ratings are comparable to NFL TV ratings when the NFL began play. An average attendance at games (25,000 plus as of June 1) is about what the NFL experienced. The USFL will expand next year. Teams have already been added in Pittsburgh. Houston and San Diego, and others will be added TV money, which really made the league possible, is assured for another year. ABC and ESPN have boosted league capital by $35 million. And each new team must pay $6 million to join the league. So 1984 seems certain to be better — better football and more teams. This time next year the future of the USFL will be much clearer.
By then it will be' known whether TV ratings and attendance are moving up or down. Thus far, they’re in line with the NFL record in its first year Computers to help TAMPA. FLA. — The nation’s chief hurricane forecasters, have geared up for the June 1 hurricane season, said recently new computerized programs may enable them to increase storm warning landfall times from 24 to 72 hours.
ANOTHER ONE! Holes-in-one on number seven at Big Boulder are habit forming. The third hole-in-one of the season was hit by DeLoss Shaffer of Millersburg last Friday. He aced the lib-yard hole while playing with Gene L. Thompson of Goshen.. It is the third hole-in-one on number seven this season, the other two both being made by Marvin Rapp of Milford. Shaffer's ace was also I witnessed by Tim Hertel who was not golfing with Shaffer and Thompson but was in the area and saw the ball go in. Shaffer, like Rapp, will receive a trophy from the golf club.
