Baker should have his hands full in the mile against fellow sophomore Werner Endrikat. The Tiger runner lost the decision indoors when Baker posted a fast, 4:12.5 clocking, but he could reverse that order this afternoon...
...always, with one possible exception. In center field, George Neville is hitting only .224, and on the bench is sophomore Carter Lord. If Neville doesn't start to hit, it's a good bet that Coach Norm Shepard will replace him with the rangy Lord, who is strong, fast, and has hit some awesome fly balls in a couple of recent pinch hitting assignments. If Lord can start finding the alleys with his hits instead of the left fielder's glove, he could give the Crimson some sorely-needed extra-base hits...
Otherwise, Russian Adventure ignores the seamy side of life east of Berlin's Wall. The pace is "strong, steady and fast" in Moscow, where citizens enjoy sumptuous subways and cold winters. "But Russians say it's a dry cold," Crosby adds informatively. So much for insight into the Soviet character.

History was against Jack: nobody had ever won the Masters twice in a row. And so, it seemed, was fate...

Finally, only the tree-lined 18th was left. "Two shots can disappear awfully fast," Nicklaus reminded himself, and he decided to play it safe-aiming his drive straight into the jampacked gallery on the left. Then he hit his only really bad shot of the day, a hooked No. 7-iron that wound up in a patch of dirt below the green. Pulling...
