First, she cries, "Golf?" Her eyes roll upward and her bead tilts back, as Job's must have in the time of his affliction. Finally, moaning, she says, "Another summer all alone. A great marriage this is." So the ties that bind are stretched, the wife taking firm hold and bracing herself against the front door, the husband tugging toward the golf course. Through negotiations, however, I have convinced her I will never give up this tug-of-war: the domino theory, I ex. so don't take basketball as the villain of this piece.

What I mean is (and this is what I told my wife the other day) I'm ready to play golf. Through the years of our marriage, nearly six of them, this declaration, usually issued in March or April, has always unnerved the missus.

If I lose the right to play golf, 1 then beer with the boys may be the next dominion to fall. Accordingly, though she feels it is her duty as a woman to protest, my wife no longer employs guerrilla tactics to stop my golfing.

And Such a Diversion! (Once, in a transparent attempt to divert my attention from the links, she gave me a box of tees gold ones in the shape of women.) What IS fierce these days is the tug-of-war 1 have with myself. The notion to play golf in midwinter took hold when the mailman brought me a bill for $30.65 from a local professional. Ordinarily, a bill of such dimensions would ruin the whole day. But this time, the thought of winged greenbacks was replaced by remembrances of cushioned fairways, like those at Audubon Country Club, and cool streams, like the one atWildwood. Memories and reality are seldom the same, though, which brings me back to that personal tug-of-war.

Still under 26 years of age, I have somehow become 15 pounds overweight. My golf swing, never classic, is bound to suffer. Down in the basement the other night, I brought out my clubs, partly to renew acquaintances and partly to experiment with swings that made allowances for my new midsection. An Iron?

and Nawbwg R(L 451-4787 By BOB COOPER LEXINGTON. Ky. (AP) Nat Northington and Greg Page will become the first Negroes to play major varsity sports in the Southeastern Conference, but integration is the farthest thing from their minds. Their only interest is in playing the best football possible at the University of Kentucky. Coaches, students and fans at Kentucky -also have given integration of conference athletics little or no thought.

They only want a winning team. Neither Northington nor Page had any thoughts about playing in the SEC until Kentucky scouts contacted them, they said in an interview. After that, Northington said, "It was a kind of hard decision to make, but once I got here, there wasn't much of a problem at all." 'Never Bothered Me' Page, whose home now is in Middles-boro in Eastern Kentucky, said he was one of a few Negroes in a Little League program as a child and was the only "Negro on his high school freshman team in Minnesota. 1 "It just never bothered me too much," he added. Kentucky adopted an official policy of integrated athletics early in 1963, but it was three years before Northing-ton and Page became the first Negroes to receive major athletic scholarships.

Football coach Charlie Bradshaw explained that he felt the first Negroes signed should be from the state of Kentucky and, during the years between the official statement and the actual signing, there were none available in for the freshman team, but they conclude that it had very little to do with race. "I guess everybody is nervous that first day or two," Northington said. "Yeah," Page agreed, "you're among strangers and it takes a little time to get to know each other." They had thought earlier about playing at other schools Northington at either Louisville or Purdue and Page at Oklahoma but when they got the chance, Kentucky seemed more to their liking. "Kentucky had more of the type of football program I wanted," Northington said. "I agree with that," Page said, "and, besides, I wanted to play closer to home." Athletic director Bernie Shively said he had contacted officials at all other SEC schools long before Northington and Page were recruited and was assured the transition to integrated athletics would be smooth.

Fans Unconcerned Bradshaw said it wasn't planned, but Kentucky's schedule for next fall does include only three trips into what might be called the "Deep South" Auburn, LSU at Baton Rouge and Florida at Gainesville. At home, a brief survey of UK fans showed no concern about integration at all. "If they can play good football," one fan said, "I don't care if they're black, white, purple or green." Kentucky's break of the color barrier in the SEC apparently was awaited by other schools. Vanderbilt immediately integrated its basketball program and other schools now are reported scouting Negroes. Integration has come to the SEC, the last major conference in the nation to avoid it.

"We have a set of criteria that we apply to all the young men we seek and they must measure up to these standards, athletically, academically and in their personal lives," Bradshaw said. Northington, who lives in Louisville, and Page easily met all the criteria. As freshmen last season: Northington was second in rushing offense from his tailback slot with 33 carries for 197 yards, an average of six yards a try. His best was a 41-yard touchdown run against Virginia Tech.

Northington led the UK frosh in kickoff returns, carrying six for 111 yards, an average of 18.5 yards. Page, as a defensive end, averaged 12.5 tackles a game. His coaches note, for comparison, that eight is considered good. "Both of them are outstanding prospects for next season's varsity," Bradshaw said. Northington and Page said they were more than a little nervous the first day they reported at Kentucky as candidates A glance at a 7-iron shook me.

It was a total stranger, a skinny pipe that had, at the end, a piece of metal that seemed to have been shaped by a railroad train passing over it It even felt odd in my hands. This was a precision-built implement, yet when I thought about using it to strike a golf ball, I had no more confidence than if it were a branch off the tree in the backyard. Part of my trepidation was due to the weakness of my hands. A winter at courtside had left my fingers in superb condition for typing, but not much else least of all swinging violently at a golf ball. Practice will chase away those worries (I told myself), so I turned to putting on the carpet.

After building up my morale (I have never yet three-putted a rug), I resolved to lose weight (the midsection WAS a problem, even putting). Also, I decided to practice every day and to play at least three times a week. If my wife will let me. ii iiiMMitiMlfllig mm Our expert mechanics adjust brakes and add brake fluid if needed.
