Lieut. Hillman Robbins Jr., 25, is a ground-bound Air Force desk jockey who suffers variously from low blood pressure, an allergy to early-morning reveille and an exasperating habit of lunging at his tee shots and turning his head on putts.

Calmly Young-Timer Hebert matched his opponent's par three on the 35th hole and, winner 2 and 1, walked off with top prize money of $8,000. It was nearly three times as much as he had won all year...

Inscribed in gold on the leather bag: "To Prime Minister Kishi from President Eisenhower." At the first tee, understandably nervous with his new bag of sticks, the diminutive (5 ft. 4 in.) Premier sliced a drive into the rough, was visibly encouraged when Ike shouted "Mo ichido" (in Japanese, take another), responded with a drive of about 150 yards down the middle...
