Open at Miami in his last
previous tournament appearan
ce, holds a commanding six
stroke lead going into today’s
third round of the $200,000
Heritage Golf Classic.
He ran away from the star
studded field in Friday’s second
round when he set a record for
the Harbourtown course he
helped design a half dozen
years ago, shooting an 8-under
par 63.
That gave Nicklaus a two-day
total of 13-under-par 129 and the
nearest competitor to him at
the end of the day was his
former Ohio State schoolmate
Tom Weiskopf who thought for
awhile he was in pretty good
shape with his 65-135.
Only four of the other 101
golfers in the starting field are
within 10 strokes of Nicklaus
today. U.S. Open champ Hale
Irwin, a two-time winner of the
Heritage, and young Tom Kite
are both eight strokes back and
Miller Barber is nine.
“It’s been a long time since
I’ve played this well going into ■
a major tournament,” said the
35-year-old Nicklaus who came
here to tune up his game for
the Masters which will be
played two weeks from now.
“I don’t know that I ever
have. However, I have had a
few stretches where I played
this well for a short time, like
in late 1971 when I won three
tournaments in a row by
comfortable margins.”
Nicklaus is the only golfer
ever to win 14 “major”
championships. The former
record was the 13 won by the
late Bobby Jones. Jack sur
prised Jones in 1973 when he
won the PGA championship and
although he hasn’t won a so
called “major” title since, he
did win the prestigious Tourna
ment Players Championship
late last summer.
“Actually, I think the 66 I
shot in the opening round here
Thursday may have been better
than that 63,” said Nicklaus.
“You’ve got to remember that
playing conditions were much
tougher then. I had a lot
tougher putts to make for
birdies.”

Dave Roberts sets
pole vault record
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (UPI)
— After two misses Friday,
Dave Roberts relaxed and went
out and got himself a new
world pole vault record.
Roberts, a former Rice
University athlete now attend
ing the University of Florida
graduate school, vaulted 18
feet, 6% inches to break the
previous record of 18 feet, 5%
inches set in 1972 by Bob
Seagren.
“I had a feeling that I might
be able to do it here, but I
wasn’t that sure,” he said.
“After going for quite awhile at
18 feet or better, you kind of
get the feeling that some day
Don Baylor lias
fire in his eyes
By United Press International
Don Baylor has fire in his
eyes and acid in his bat —and
his play this spring is definitely
putting a smile on Baltimore
Orioles Manager Earl Weaver’s
face.
Baylor’s performance last
season was respectable as most
outfielders go —hitting .272 and
driving in 59 runs —but not as
far as Baltimore outfielders go.
He hit just 10 home runs and
was part of the reason Weaver
and General Manager Frank
Cashen went shopping for a
little more power during the
offseason. They acquired Ken
Singleton from Montreal and
Lee May from Houston and
Baylor’s name on the Orioles’
lineup card was drifting farther
and farther down.
But that was before spring
training: before Baylor’s bat
woke up after a Rip Van
Winkle sleep through last
season.
Baylor extended his hitting
streak to 14 games —every
game he has played in this
spring —by drilling a home run
and double in Baltimore’s 4-2
victory Friday over the Kansas
City Royals. He had a hand in
all of the Oriole runs, driving in
two and scoring twice himself.
The two hits lifted Baylor’s

you’ll be able to go the record.
“I knew that I would have to
be relaxed, and I was for the
third attempt.”
Roberts had already won the
event with a vault of 18-1 when
he started going for Seagren’s
record.
On his first vault he came
down on top of the bar and on
the second, he just missed,
nicking the cross bar.
On the third try, he took
some extra time, making
several sort runs without the
pole, before soaring to the new
record.
Roberts, little known in
Florida, was three-time NCAA
batting average this spring to
.545 and his home run was his
eighth. He didn’t hit any home
runs last spring.
Joining Baylor as a major
plus was the performance of
righthander Mike Torrez
against the Royals.
Torrez was acquired in the
Singleton deal which sent Dave
McNally to the Expos. He won
15 games for fourth place
Montreal last year and the
Oriole front office has its
fingers crossed that Torrez can
fill the gap left by McNally’s
departure.
The lanky lefthander allowed
just three hits in five innings
for his most impressive show
ing of the spring in picking up
the win.
Doc Medich pitched seven
innings of three-hit ball to lead
the New York Yankees past
Kansas City 4-1, John Lowen
stein lashed a pinch single to
drive in the winning run in the
bottom of the ninth to give
Cleveland a 9-8 victory oover
Oakland, and Bob Montgomery
drove in six runs with a triple
and a home run to provide
Boston with a 9-5 decision over
the Chicago White Sox.
Winston Llenas singled in
the ninth to score pinch runner
Jerry Remy and push Cali-

In other competition in the
relays, which wind up Satur
day, Troy State bettered its
own Florida Relays 880-yard
relay record with a time of
1:25.6, more than two full
seconds better than the old
mark of 1:27.8.
Auburn was second at 1:25.9
and Western Carolina was
third.
Cornell University took the
two-mile relay in 7:27.9, edging
Ivy League rival Princeton
which had a 7:28.3.
fornia past Milwaukee 3-2,
Willie Horton and Ron LeFlore
each stroked four hits to lead
the Detroit Tigers past Cincin
nati 74, and Rod Carew scored
one run and singled in another
in Minnesota’s 5-1 win over
Montreal.
Greg Gross went 3-for-3 and
knocked in four runs as
Houston pounded out 22 hits in
a 15-10 victory over Texas.

‘Cowbells’ win again
JACKSON, Miss. (UPI) —
The state Senate Friday voted
to allow Mississippi State fans
to continue clanging their
cowbells at football games.

debate a bill that would permit

sports events in Mississippi.

The measure still faces House
action.
Ringing cowbells at football
games is a longstanding tradi
tion among Mississippi State
fans, but the Southeastern
Conference recently adopted a
rule banning artificial noise
makers from SEC games.
