TlIK V.i KIKU-HK YL I 01 IS II I E. KV FRIDAY I I IlKi 27. 1 9 Ford Takes 40 on Doral's 9th Hole Man Gowan Share Lead i I I i yfC: 1 "-f By BOB GREEN Associated Press Golf Writer MIAMI Jack McGowan and Dave Marr shot five-under-par 67s yesterday to share the first-round lead in the $150,000 Doral Open Golf Tournament while a slip of the pen sent Doug Ford's score soaring to 116. Ford, a 22-year veteran of the pro tour, inadvertently penciled in the figure "40" in the space for his ninth hole score, didn't notice the error and signed the card. He had an actual total of 40 on the front nine but was charged with 40 strokes on the ninth hole.

Marr and McGowan opened a two-stroke advantage over a half dozen rivals. Deadlocked at 69 on the par-72 Blue course at the Doral Country Club were Dan Sikes, Charles Coody, Jim Colbert, Larry Hinson, Dave Dotal Open Leaders Stockton and England's Brian Barnes. British Open champion Tony Jacklin was in a group at 70 and Arnold Palmer was in another large bunch at 71. The weather was cool with a mild wind and several of the top names had some difficulties with the demanding, lake-lined course. Louisville's Frank Beard, the tour's leading money-winner in 1969, carded a one-over 73.

Defending champion Tom Shaw shot a 72; Masters champ George Archer had a 74, and former Louisvillian Bobby Nichols soared to a 75. Marr in a Slump McGowan, a 10-year tour veteran whose only victory came in the 1964 Milton View Open, was one of the last in the field of 144 to finish. He had five birdies three of them on par-5 holes and no bogeys. Marr, in a mild slump since winning the 1965 PGA championship, three-putted for two bogeys but counted seven birdies, including one at the 18th hole when he holed an 80-foot chip shot. Marr started on the back nine and birdied the first two holes, chipping to within three feet on No.

10 and running in a 12-foot putt on No. 11. He bogeyed the 13th hole but got the stroke back with the birdie chip shot on No. 18. He chipped to within three inches on the first hole and started a string of (- 1 iA 1 J- Ivi4 1 i A i 7 Dave Marr 33-34, Jack McGowan, 33-34.

Kick, Kick! Oldham Once Bypassed Murray's Young the line, second best in the nation although he is slightly under the minimum attempts required to be ranked. Young, meanwhile, said he is anticipating Saturday night's engagement with Western. "We have a chance to be invited to the National Invitation Tournament, but we're going to have to beat Western," declared Jimmy in his soft Tennessee twang. "It surely would be nice to do it. We've had a good season, although it wasn't like last year's when we won the OVC.

We got some breaks and won the close ones on the road a year ago, but it has been just the opposite this year." Young said he never had experienced anything like the incompleted game at Eastern Kentucky in which the horn sounded 10 seconds too soon with Murray trailing 79-78. "I had the ball and had just looked at the clock," said Jimmy. "It showed 11 seconds. When the horn sounded, it like to shocked me to death. I just took the ball and threw it at the basket." Looking back over the season, Young, who is a junior, said he felt he had made strides in two departments.

"No. 1, I've learned to play without the ball and No. 2, I've gained confidence," he said. "If we go back to Eastern for those 10 seconds and Coach wants me to put up the ball, heck, I won't be afraid to. I'll shoot it up there." With this type of attitude, Young's individual statistics are However, he is averaging 16.4 points for the season, 20 points over the nine games, and shooting almost 49 per cent from the field.

By JOHN FLYNN Courier-Journal 4 Timet Staff Writer With visions of Jacksonville's 7-footers dancing in their heads, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers may look right over Jimmy Young Saturday night at Murray. It would not be the first time that Western has made this mistake. "I've kicked myself at least seven times for not going after him when he was in high school," said Western coach John Oldham. Young's heart belonged to the Hilltoppers before he chose Murray State. Back home in Cunningham, he learned about Western from his mom and Mr.

and Mrs. Jimmy Young who were Western graduates. Father, Oldham Were Teammates Ironically, Jimmy's father, who coached at Montgomery Central High School, played freshman ball with Oldham at Western. "His daddy told me Jimmy could play, and I have a lot of respect for his judgment," said Oldham, "but the night we saw him play in high school he didn't look good at all. "However," added the Western coach ruefully, "I'm willing to admit we made a mistake." Enter Murray coach Cal Luther, who was looking for a guard.

"We were crazy about Jimmy right off," said Luther. "He stuck his nose into the middle of everything and we knew we wanted him." Young remembers that Western didn't seem to want him, but he insists that after he visited Murray, Western probably, couldn't have gotten him if it had come with open arms. Luther, meanwhile, leaves little doubt about what Young, an outside shooter and driver who measures six feet with his sneakers on, would have meant to the towering but guard-shy Hilltoppers. OVC's Toughest Competitor? "Would he ever have made them tough!" said Luther, shuddering at the thought of Young in Western red instead of Murray blue. There probably isn't a tougher competitor in the Ohio Valley Conference than Young, who wears his golden hair in floppy, Early Beatle style.

"He looks like a Dead-End kid," said Luther, "but he's just the opposite soft-spoken and nice until they turn out the lights for the Anthem. Then he changes. "There are games in which he refuses to let us lose like the other night at Middle Tennessee. Middle was just brimming to beat us, but Jimmy wouldn't allow it. He scored 30 points, hit 11 of 17 floor shots and made all eight of his free throws." Free throw accuracy is nothing new for Young.
