ROSE BOWL DAILY REPORT

Paterno, 68, surprised a group of writers recently when he said, “Right now, I’m 58.” When the laughing subsided, he explained:

“When I was 65, I looked in the mirror, flexed my muscles and said to my wife, “Who says I’m 65, I look 55. On my last birthday (Dec. 21), she sent me a card that said, ‘Happy 58th, so I figure I’ve got seven more years before I have to retire.”

Golf has been introduced into the Rose Bowl festivities with a junior golf hole in one shootout scheduled today at the Brookside Golf Club, adjacent to the Rose Bowl. Chi Chi Rodriguez, grand marshal of the Tournament of Roses, will conduct a clinic after the 11 a.m. shootout among hole in one qualifiers.

The winner--if anyone scores an ace in the single-ball competition--will receive $100,000 from the sponsoring American Golf Assn.
