He Has The Desire
-- ,Also, The Skill
When the Professional Golfers
Association championship began
In Chicago last month, the pros
were talking about the man Who
Wasn't there: Jack Cupit, a 23 -
year -old Texan with brown hair,
green eyes, and a golden touch.
"Jacky hits a long ball," said.
George Bayer, the pro tour's
longest hitter. "I'd say he's the
best player in the country under
25."
"Jacky's a real good putter,"
added Bill Casper, who, when
his game is on, is the pro tour's
best putter.
"He's remarkable," suggested.
Gary Player, the most remark-
able golfer of 1961. "If he has
the desire, he can develop into
one of the great champions."
Jacky Cupit, 5 -foot -9 and 165
pounds, has an abuandance of
desire, "My ambition?" he drawl-
ed, as he rested in Houston, (He
wasn't eligible for the PGA, not
having been a pro for the neces-
sary five years.) "I just want to
become the best golfer in the
world."
Only two months ago, Cupit
was one of the most obscure
championship golfers in the
world. Even though he won 39
amateur tournaments and made
the college All-American team
at the University of Houston,
few people outside golf's cognos-
centi knew his name. Then, in
the U.S. Open, Cupit put his
name in headlines. After two
rounds of 72, he fired a sizzling
67 and moved into second place.
He slipped to a 76 in the final
round and wound up in a tie for
ninth place.
Since the Open, Cupit, one of
five golfing brothers, has been
the hottest golfer on the tour. In
six tournaments, he has won
nearly $9,000. At his peak in the
Canadian Open, with brilliant
rounds of 66-69-64-71, he won
his first major professional
championship. Tied for second:
Buster Cupit, 34,
"I hope I can keep up the
pace," Jacky said: "Some young
golfers get overconfident when
they do well the first few.
months." He smiled easily. "I
don't expect that to happen to,
me," he said. "I've worked too
bard to get here."
Taxicab Racket
In- Montreal
The fuss began when a Mont-
real cab -driver turned to his cus-
tomer and asked:: "Where do you
want to go?"
A perfectly normal question.
The only trouble was, the cabbie
said it'in Hungarian. After sev-
eral unsuccessful attempts to
switch the conversation to Eng-
lish or Montreal's native French,
the irate customer stomped out
end complained to the City Coun-
cil.
The great taxicab rumpus is
still echoing through Canada's
largest city. Investigation showed
that indeed there was a taxi
driver who spoke only Hungar-
ian. He was a bare eight days off
the boat when he learned that,
for $75 slipped surreptitiously to
a licensing clerk, he could get a
taxi permit.
A massive shake-up of the test-
ing system followed, including
the introduction of oral tests in
both French and English. "We
don't expect cabdrivers to talk
like Oxford grads or like mem-
bers of the Academie. Francaise,"
explained testing supervisor Lu-
cien Bergeron, "but we do want
them to understand and make
themselves understood."
The cabbies found Bergeron's
new tests rough going. Of the
first 166 applicants, only fifteen
passed; the others bombarded
Bergeron with so many telephone
threats that he was forced to call
the police. By last week, the num-
ber of passes had risen to 17 per
cent.- But Montrealers were still
insisting that too many of their
cabbies couldn't say "'Where to,
bud?" - in either English or
French.
DRIVE WITH CARE!
LUCKY 13 — Milwaukee left-hander, Warren Spahn, 40, pops

Clean -Up On The
Mexican Border
The whisky distiller who made
a national reputation as head of
Pemex, Mexico's nationalized oil
industry, was hard at work
again. His new assignment: A
cleanup of the whole 1,600 -mile
U.S.-Mexican border from the
Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico.
By the time he got through,
Antonio Bermudez promised,
half a hundred sin -ridden
honky-tonk border towns that
line the Mexican frontier would
be transformed into "The Long-
est Show Window in the world."
Onetime mayor of Juarez,
"Tony" Bermudez was named
director of Mexico's Federal
Program last winter. His pro-
gram is a costly one, but Ber-
mudez expects it eventually to
pay for itself. As a starter last
month, bulldozers started
moving earth in the 550 -acre
river bottom land in the center
of Tijuana in Baja California
Norte, just south of San Diego.
A $15 million flood control and
reclamation project will be top-
ped by landscaped boulevards,
new parks, and new administra-
tion buildings. In the process,
the rest of the city, which has
long been notorious for its tour-
ist clip joints, prostitutes, and
marijuana peddlers, will be
cleaned up, or cleaned out.
Nogales, across the border from
Douglas, Ariz., is scheduled for
the next major effort, but there
will be other projects going on
simultaneously in all border
areas. One town, Reinosa, near
Brownsville, Texas, is consider-
ed so hopeless that a new bridge
will be built so tourists can by-
pass it.
The improvements will affect
5 million Mexicians living along
the border and 16 million U.S,
citizens living just north of it,
Last year these same U.S. citi-
zens spent $520 million along the
border — compared with $150
million spent by U.S. tourists in
all the rest of Mexico.
Hopeful of attracting more re-
spectable U.S. dollars across the
border, Bermudez has called for
new comfort facilities, new pub-
lic services, and new hotels, mo-
tels, and shoppingcenters for
visitors.
One tourist - hungry Tijuana
businessman said last week: "If
you liked coming here before,"
he said, "wait until you see my
city with its- face washed,"

alertness of the sportscasters and

Want The Credit
But Not The Blame
You have no doubt read a lot
in the newspapers lately on the
number of shows on television
which exploit crime and vio-
lence. I am chairman of. the Ju-
venile Delinquency Subcommit-
tee which has been investigating
just why there is such an em-
phasis on the "bad" in life,
We talked to a variety of peo-
ple
eaple who in one capacity or an-
other put these horror shows on
the air. We found that they take
a curious position. There is no
force so powerful in all of mass
communications, they say. It
controls, indeed almost manipu-
_ laths, public opinion. It is a great
teacher. They properly take cre-
dit for all the good that is de-
rived from TV — and it does a
great deal of good, But by some
curious turn of mind, they argue
the violence it portrays leaves
no impression on the mind of
the viewer,
They want credit far the good,
but no responsibility for the fail-
ures.
We have uncovered substan-
tial evidence that if television
viewing can improve a child's.
vocabulary, it similarly can
leach how to throw a rabbit
punch.
The public — YOU — own
the airways, but the fast -buck
boys who put on these horror
shows apparently never learned
this. I have in the committee
files a 'case of 22 killings in a
one-hour show -= which actu-
ally runs only 48 minutes. That's
a murder ever 21 minutes, Next
season will it be a corpse a min-
ute?
I do not believe the people of
Connecticut are the people one
TV executive was referring to
when he said, "We only give
them what they want." People
I know do not feel that brutal
beatings, murder and extortion
are the highest form of enter -

They Still Say
The Ball's The Same
A.G. Spalding #c Bros. of Chi,
copee, Masse prides itself upon
progress -- in every field but one.
It has improved •.footballs and
basketballs, tennis 'balls and golf
balls. "But the major-league
baseball is unchanged," insists
Edwin Parker, the firm's presi-
dent. "The specifications are ex-
actly the same as in 1920,"
The baseball has a cork center
surrounded by a layer of black
rubber, a layer of red rubber, 121
yards of rough. gray wool, 45
yards of white wool, 53 yards of
fine gray wool, 150 yards of white
cotton, a coating of rubber ce-
ment, and a horsehide cover, Its
circumference is 9 to 91/4 inches
and its weight 5 to 51/4 ounces.
Each step in the' process, includ-
ing hand stitching, is carried out
precisely as it was 35 years ago,
the firm maintains,
Despite Spalding's protesta-
tions, others swear the ball is
bouncier. "Oh, no, it ain't lively,"
cracks Dizzy Dean, the pitcher
turned broadcaster, "Then how
come I hear its heartbeat?"
Hunters Asked To
Spare Wild Ducks
Resources Minister Walter
Dinsdale has appealed by open
letter to fish and game club
members in the t h r e e Prairie
Provinces and western Ontario
to help his Department inform
duck hunters that canvasback
and redhead ducks, which are in
short supply, should not be shot
this year.
He said that severe drought
conditions on the Prairies, where
70 per cent of the wild ducks in
North America nest and raise
their young, have seriously af-
fected waterfowl production in
general and the already low can-
vasback and redhead populations
in particular.
"If breeding stock is tobe
maintained to provide for rea-
sonable come -back when habitat
conditions improve, we must
make even greater efforts this
year to reduce the kill of these
two species," He did mention,
however, that "hunters will be
allowed one canvasback or red-
head duck as a mistake bird.
This provision has been made
so that if one of these ducks is
shot by accident, it will not be
discarded by the hunter to avoid
penalty, and so be wasted.
"To help hunters learn to re-
cognize canvasbacks and red-
heads, the Canadian Wildlife
Service will be distributing iden-
tification pamphlets on these
two species, through your pro-
vincial game departments, to li-
cence vendors in western On-
tario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. Pamphlets will also
be supplied to R.C.M. Police De-
tachments, Hudson's Bay Com-
pany posts, Indian Affairs of-
fices, and post offices. In all, a
quarter million of these pamph-
lets will be distributed. In ad-
dition, television spot announce-
ments will remind hunters to
pick up pamphlets when they
buy their licences,"
Mr. Dinsdale asked for "the
club's co-operation in making
the facts sufficiently well known
that hunters going into the field
this year will be able to recog-
nize male or female canvasback
and redhead ducks and know
why they shouldn't be shot. This
is one of the important contribu-
tions organized hunters can
make this year."
"In recognition of the special
role that members of fish and
game clubs can play in educa-
tion and public information on
conservation matters, my De-
partment will be sending copies
of all press releases on this sub-
ject to clubs in the areas I have
mentioned."
The letter ended, "As large a
breeding population as possible
should be available next year.
Whether naturalist or hunter,
you will be the beneficiary."
Try to make other happy, even
if it means leaving them alone.
