La. (AP) Tommy Morrow, a Natchitoches pro, sank a 20-foot putt on the seventh hole of a sudden death playoff Friday to win the $5,000 Louisiana Open Golf Tourney. Morrow and amateur Buddy Short of Lafayette matched strokes for the first six playoff holes. They finished the 54-hole tourney deadlocked with three-under par for the Sugar Oaks Country Club course. Morrow putt on the seventh playoff hole gave him a birdie.

Short parted the hole. Morrow carded a 69 for the fi nal 18 holes after earlier rounds of 70 and 74. The victory was worth $1,000 and he would have gotten the same tize check even if Short had won since amateurs can't accept cash. Short, with a 69-72-72, won a golf bag valued at $100.

Miss Campbell led off two relay teams which smashed SAAU standards.

The 200-yard medley quartet which included Sally Smolenski, Nita Hugbens and Elizabeth Graves clocked 2:36.2 nearly three seconds under the SSC's year-old Southern AAU record of 2:39.1.

John Campbell, the club's player representative, said it was uxeiy tne veterans would set ud their own training camp if the impasse were not soon settled. "It obviously behooves to come in in shape," Campbell told The Associated Press by telephone from Canton, Ohio. He said he had spoken to Coach Bill Austin about the possibility of a separate camp and Austin agreed to help find a location. Club owners have barred veteran players from their camps until the players association, which struck to back demands for increased pension payments. permits all veteran to report Steffen Signs With Redskins WASHINGTON 'AP The Washington Redskins signed Jim Steffen, a veteran player they had traded to Dallas two years ago, as a free agent Friday.

No, said Henri Levesque, her French owner-trainer, as he took cognizance Friday of reports sweeping the barn area at Roosevelt Raceway that Roquepine is lame in her left front leg. "She is completely sound, fit and ready to race," Levesque declared through an interpreter. "I expect her to win the International for the second straight time." Levesque said Roquepine did have some soreness in her leg when she lost at Munich by breaking strike at the wire, but she has been given diathermy treatments since her arrival in the United States.

Ray Ingalls of Longview has grabbed the lead in point standing at Hilltop, and has been steadily adding points to his score each week. Several of the regular drivers have spet the last week making adjustments and repairs to their stock car in hopes of outdistancing the Longview racing king. Three of the top contenders are Shreveporters Don Young. Junior Daugherty, and Snuffy Smith.

De Wayne Gandy has had his share of bad luck and commented that it was about time to quit; then added that he was hard headed, and although No. 9C wasn' ready for tonight's races, he would be back out there neft week. DeWayne totaled No. 71, a 1951 Chevrolet, a couple of months ago; slammed into the fence after tangling with two other cars and totaled No. 41, a 1952 Ford last Friday night; returned last Saturday night in No.

Homer is now a-11 for the season.

Campbell, while emphasizing the necessity of reporting in shape, agreed that the strike had taken on new dimensions since the owners decided on the lockout. "There were some ball play ers who said they would not strike," Campbell said. "We would have tried to talk them into going with the association, but we would nave allowed them to report if they wanted to. Now, they can go It was learned that a group of Steeler veterans from the Pitts burgh area who Thursday is sued a public plea for a speedy solution planned another meeting Sunday, probably to work out plans for their separate camp. Campbell said he originally had planned to set up a strike headquarters near the Steelers training base at St.

Vincent College but was not certain now if this would be done. The Steelers said all but one of the 33 rookies expected in camp Friday were accounted for. The lone absentee was linebacker Jerry Moore of Bet- hune-Cookman, who played with Wheeling in the Continental Football League last season. result in a flood. it is on their $20 million television contract and packed stadia, and should be reduced by $5 million or slightly less for their old age benefit fund The players said, if they don't get it, they won play the game that George Halas and those who came after him invented.

The owners said in that case they'd go right ahead and keep the ranch open with rookies and free agents, or anyone else without a union card Both sides have been guilty of some bad public relations, and both have tampered a little with facts. The bosses have been a little slicker at covering up their errors, but then they'd been at this thing a lot longer than the players. The owners have made a lot of having granted 21 of the 22 requests made by the players, but a lot of these concessions have not been as much as they would like to make out. Jumping the minimum salary hardly put a dent in their wallet, because most players are well over journeyman's scale anyway, and the other concessions didn dig any deeper. The players, despite their protests, probably could struggle along on the proposal to put $1,125,000 in the pension bag this year and $1,350,000 in 1969, and then negotiate a new contract in 1970 that would be retroactive to 1968.

But the pension is not really the heart of the argument. The feeling here is that the owners already know that, even if it hasn't dawned completely on the players. This is the first time in all of professional sports history that the athletes have risen in a mass rebellion against the owners. It does not matter whether theyj win or lose the pension argu-i ment, because in a way they've already won. They've shown their muscle collectively, and the Q.

Robinsons Pace Birds To Triumph BALTIMORE (AP) Frank Robinson's head-first slide after a sacrifice fly to shallow left by Brooks Robinson scored the winning run in the eight inning giving Baltimore a 3-2 victory over Washington Friday night.

Frank Robinson opened the eighth with a walk and went to third on a single by Boog Powell, which finished starter Cami-lo Pascual and brought in Dar-old Knowles.
