...last week, Ike paired up with Arnold Palmer, almost stole the affections of Arnie's Army in helping beat Dancer Ray Bolger and Golfer Jimmy Demaret three and two. Even with the match won, Ike insisted on finishing the full 18, stroked in a superb 40-ft. birdie putt over two rolls and a dip on the 17th green, left the golf course exuberantly, and cried to reporters, "I don't know what I would do without this game. I really love...
...also had to duck, just to stay alive. Midway in the last round, Mari-lynn's playing partner, Judy Kimball, missed a 3-ft. putt. Swinging her putter in teeth-grinding disgust, Judy sent it zinging right past Marilynn's ear (see cut). At least she had the sense to hold onto the handle.

...course, seven under par. Demaret had not won a tournament in seven years; the closest he had come was second in the 1961 P.G.A. Seniors. Jimmy did not win at Palm Springs either-but he stubbornly clung to the lead until Tommy Jacobs beat him with a 9-in. putt in a sudden-death playoff. Jacobs is muscular, nervous and 28. Said Demaret: "I'm awfully glad that Tommy could win it. After all, he's almost through, and I've still got years...
