Buddy Baker of Charlotte, N.

Gene Littler
leads Classic
ST.LOUIS (UPI) - Ailing
Gene Littler, complaining about
his stomach but not his golf
game, held a one stroke lead
today going into the third round
of the $210,000 St. Louis Golf
Classic.
“I was going so well toward
the end that I was surprised
when I missed a 40-footer on
the 17th, ” quipped Littler, who
birdied six of the last seven
holes Friday for his second
four-under-par and a two-round
total of 132.
At the end of his first round
Thursday, Littler complained of
abdominal pains and was taken
to a doctor. “I guess I have
some kind of bug,” he said. “I
feel a little weak.”
Littler, who underwent surg
ery for cancer of the lymph
glands a year ago, said the
early rains followed by high
temperature and humidity
added to his discomfort.
Littler cannot afford to take
it easy today with defending
champion Lee Trevino, local
favorite Bob Goalby and young
pro John Schroeder only one
stroke behind. Trevino picked
up six strokes Friday with a
six-under par 64.
“I kind of predicted that I
was going to have a good round
like this,” Trevino said. “I’ve
got it going now because the
only thing I have to do is
concentrate on my golf. I’ve
slacked up on some of my other
activities, like exhibitions.”
Trevino’s two-round score of
133 is the same as his two
round score of last year when
he was two strokes behind
leader Deane Beman. Beman
didn’t fare as well this year—he
missed the cut with a 145.
Goalby was nine under par
going into the 15th hole Friday
but his drivers failed and he
bogeyed that hole and the next.
Young Rik Massengale, who
was tied for the lead with
Goalby after the first round,
was tied for fifth today with
Jim Ferriell. One stroke behind
averaging 150.908.

was Don Bies, who offset two
bogeys with four birdies and an
eagle Friday for a 66.
Also shooting 66, in addition
to Littler and Bies, were Dow
Finsterwald, who missed the
cut with 144, and Bruce
Crampton, the pro golf tour’s
leading money winner.
The lowest round of the day
was Tom Shaw’s 63, giving him
a two-round total of 136. With
the exception of the 12th hole,
Shaw birdied the ninth through
the 15th, including a 60-foot putt
on the 15th.
Shaw, at 29 already a 10-year
veteran of the PGA tour, said,
“It’s the lowest competitive
round I’ve had since I became
a pro. I’ve been working hard
on my game and I’ve been
playing well. The boost from
this round will last a long
time.”

AU YOU GOT TO DO
IS ASK
MurrayOlderman
*
The Tipoff:
When it all comes out — how many different ways
George Foreman has been cut up, plus the kickbacks and
payola — it’ll make previous exploitation of a heavy
weight champ (remember Primo Camera)? look like kid
stuff.
Q — How can a young guy like Vida Blue suddenly go sour,
without even a sore arm? You have any explanation? — Don
Flora, Walnut Creek, Calif.
A — Maybe it's because the fireballing lefthander of the
Oakland Athletics doesn’t really dig throwing baseballs.
There’s one theory that his real ambition is to be a pro foot
ball quarterback (he used to wear a Joe Namath No. 12 shirt
and threw 35 touchdown passes as a high schooler), but when
his father died suddenly Vida at the age of 17 was forced to
grab the quick loot of a baseball contract. After the sensa
tional exploits of '7l, with another bundle of dough coming
in, he wasn’t so hungry any more. Anyhow, the fact is that
his fast ball isn’t as live as it was a couple of years ago.
Q — What’s happened to the feud between Carroll Rosen
bloom and Don Shula? I understand they’re talking again. —
Joe LoPomo, Hollywood, Fla.
A — Distance makes the heart grow placid. Since Carroll
has moved to Los Angeles, his top aide, Don Klosterman,
has been able to effect a meeting between the ex-Colt owner
and his former coach. They now talk and are civil to each
other But there’s still no rapprochement between Rosen
bloom and Joe Robbie, the voluble owner of the Miami Dol
phins who lured Shula away. Robbie, by the way, says Shula
was already shopping for the Green Bay job when he was
persuaded to coach (and get a chunk of) the Dolphins.
Q — How much money does Jack Nicklaus make a year?
— Tommy Youmans, Panama City, Fla.
A — Enough. That may sound evasive, but it’s really be
tween Jack and his tax accountant. You see. he more than
doubles the $200,000 he figures to collect in tournament prize
money. But Jack’s less interested in the dough these days
than he is in image and the good life. That’s why he dumped
Mark McCormack as his lawyer and agent a couple of years
ago. McCormack, who showed Arnie Palmer and Nicklaus
(plus Gary Player) how to make millions from driving a golf
ball, didn’t satisfy Jack in the public relations area.
Q — I hear a lot about Pele playing soccer in this country
but is there still an organized professional league like I used
to see on television? — George Cellary, Denver, Colo.
A— You’ll probably get a propaganda brochure from
Lamar Hunt immediately. The North American Soccer
League, which he pioneered, is still going — not strong, but
tenaciously. Losses are only down to $200,000 per team in
such cities as Dallas. Atlanta. St. Louis, etc. And Lamar was
recently in San Jose. Calif., looking into westward expansion
again, there are no Peles in the NASL. though it's still dom
inated by foreign players. Native Americans, such as Kyle
Rote’s boy with the Dallas franchise, are starting to show
up. too.
Q — Who’s the world’s fastest human now? — Mike Jac
quemain, Montreal, Canada.
A — That's hard to say. Young Steve Williams of San Die
go State might merit the title. You can’t count out the Rus
sian. Valery Borzov, though he was out of shape in a recent
American showing. And let's not forget the old pro. 30-year
old Bob Hayes. He lost one 40-yard dash to Cliff Branch, the
wide receiver of the Oakland Raiders, but otherwise Rapid
Robert won 15 races (out of 16) on the newly organized pro
track circuit and was consistently in the 4.3 seconds range
for the 40. That's one reason the Dallas Cowboys shipped off
their other wide receivers and kept Hayes.
Got a tough question about sports and the people who play them?
All you got to do is ask Murray Olderman. Write him at (name
and address of this newspaper). The most interesting questions will
be answered in this column. Olderman regrets that he cannot write
personal answers to all questions.

Sports flushed
with royalty
By Joan Ryan
WASHINGTON (NEAi
Before professional athletes were socially acceptable
enough to rate as regulars on the White House guest list, the
sports world was justifiably touchy about its limited sophisti
cation. Oh. there were a few moments of grandeur when an
athlete married a Rose Bowl queen or a Cotton Bowl prin
cess but it was nothing elaborate, mind you.
That has all changed now. When ex-tackle Dick Schafrath
of the Cleveland Browns sat down at the White House and
broke bread with West Germany's Chancellor Willy Brandt. I
knew that the race for the royalty in the sports world had
been officially ignited. The concept of the athlete as a whole
some. red-blooded kid was erased forever, and the quest for
blue blood and royal lineage began.
Avery Brundage was quick to spot the new trend. The 85-
year-old former president of the International Olympic
Committee, without asking for sanctioning, recently an
nounced his engagement to a 37-year-old German princess.
Mariann Reuss.
While amazed sports fans were still digesting the revela
tion that inside this aging bundle of sentiment, there beat a
heart just like yours and mine. Brundage further defied tra
dition. He slapped his fist down on a damask tablecloth and
said spiritedly. ’ Let's get married right now.”
At the reception following the quickie wedding, the new
Mrs. Brundage chatted amiably about proposed names for
the twins she said they hoped to have. Her choice of conver
sational subject matter was coincidental, of course, but
there were a few eyebrows raised over the stemmed cham
pagne glasses.
Brundage was slightly terse with those who commented on
the age span between him and his bride. Using all the charm
and tact that he had learned at the helm of IOC. where he
uprooted commercialism from the snowy slopes of Sapporo
and clamped bans on errant track stars in Munich. Brundage
denied that his marriage could be classified as a May-De
cember affair. ’’She is more like 46.” he said fondly. ’And I
am more like 55.” You don't have to be a psychologist to
figure out who won in that comparison.
Elsewhere on the continental sports front. Princess Anne
was motoring to Bad Lippsprinnge. Germany, to cheer for
her fiance. Lt. Mark Phillips, who was competing in the
British Rhine Army Horse Show. Sitting cross-legged on the
grass and biting her fingernails, the princess watched Phil
lips tie with three other equestrians for first place in the
show jumping contest.
In the jump-off. Phillips had to settle for the third place
after his mount knocked off the fifth jump in the nine-jump
course, plowed straight through the sixth and knocked off the
eighth. Anne, whose disposition has never been compared to
a ray of sunshine, was displeased. Royalty displeased.
When a British reporter attempted to speak to her. she
dug a heel into the grass and snapped. I m NOT answering
any questions.” A palace spokesman reminded the media
that anyone chasing the princess would be arrested, which, if
compared to the edicts of the Queen of Hearts, is a consider
able improvement on "Off with their heads! ”
That minor disappointment behind them. Anne and Mark
went back to planning their November wedding. Anne is said

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J.
(UPI) — Two days of pro
football were enough for
Vanderbilt basketball star Rod
Freeman.
Freeman, a No. 7 draft
choice, checked out of the
Giants’ Monmouth College
training camp Friday and
headed for Philadelphia where
he feels his chances will be
better playing with the 76ers of
the National Basketball As
sociation.
“Freeman decided he might
hurt himself and felt his
chances to make the Giants

injury that could be costly in
basketball,” Giants Personnel
Director Jim Trimble ex
plained.

Princess Anne Willy Brandt
Who needs the Rose Bowl queen?
to be against having bridesmaids. "A gang of girls trailing
behind tends to take the attention off the bride.” someone
heard her say shyly.
Her salary will be elevated to $87,000 per year with the
marriage so she will be able to keep Mark in bits and bridles
comfortably. She plans to give him a new car for a wedding
gift.
Ah. yes. the pace in the sports world has definitely picked
up since the crowned heads have joined the jocks. But some
how. I felt more at home when all we had for royalty was a
Rose Bowl queen.
