...heat bothered 205-lb. "Baby Beef," he failed to show it. In the dry Dallas air, Nicklaus' drives almost soared out of sight; the day before the tournament started, he won a driving contest and set a P.G.A. record by booming a ball 341 yds. off the tee. He blasted boldly out of the dry, soft traps, handled the wiry Bermuda rough with ease. But in the end it was Nicklaus' putting that won for him. Trailing Australia's Crampton by three strokes with 18 holes to play, Nicklaus ran in an 18-ft. putt...
...what they can at the Harvard Cooperative Society because of the ten per cent discount allowed on cash purchases by members. (It costs $1 to belong.) The discount makes it pay to purchase many standard items there. The enthusiastic summer student can "veritas" himself to death from tee shirts to sweatshirts to martini glasses and bathmats. They still have a good selection of marked down bermudas ($4-$8) and summer sports shirts...
Next day's 18 holes were over almost from the start. An all-night bout with the G.I.s left Palmer weak and weary; on the first tee, he duck-hooked his drive deep into The Country Club's barbed-wire rough.

By the time the three players finally got within TV camera range on the 15th hole...

But, though archaeologists long suspected that there was much more to Teotihuacán (pronounced Tay-o-tee-wah-kan), few spades disturbed the city's deep covering of cactus-grown earth...
...longest driver in the ladies' game today, perhaps the longest ever. "She hits the ball farther than Babe Zaharias ever did," says Veteran Pro Louise Suggs, "and she gets her distance entirely in the air. Babe got hers entirely on the roll." Mickey averages 225 yds. off the tee, often gets the ball out 270 yds.: with the help of a 40-m.p.h. wind in the Dallas Civitan Open in 1960, she actually overdrove the green on a 385-yd. hole. "I can outhit many men-much to their embarrassment," says Mickey gaily. "They think they are pitting their...
