Floyd, the reigning PGA champion, held a one-stroke lead over England's Tony Jack-lin and two over George Archer and Orville Moody. Jacklin had a 73 and Archer and Moody each struggled in with 74s as the demanding yard, par-70 Firestone Country course gave these four holders of the world's major golf titles a rough afternoon. The 36-hole test, with $50,000 to the winner, winds up Sunday. Jacklin, the 25-year-old Brit ish Open champion, took the lead with a 25-foot birdie putt cn the sixth hole and held it until he, too ran afoul of the rugged course on the 16th, a 625-yard par-five layout that is called "The Monster." He put his first two shots in the rough and dunked the third in the pond that fronts the green. He took a drop, was on in five and two-putted for a double bogey seven.

Floyd, meanwhile, made that same hole the turning point. Trailing by one shot, he put his second well to the left, leaving himself plenty of green to work with. He chipped on about six feet away and made it for a birdie and he suddenly had a two-stroke lead. Floyd, a 205-poundcr who is an avid Chicago Cub baseball fan and often works out with the team, gave one stroke back on the 18th, however. He was in the wood on the right, put his second in a trap, blasted out and missed a 10-fooler for a bogey.

Hamilton drew first blood early In the game on a 12-yard scoring aerial from quarterback John Blahnik to end Larry Mil-ligan. Stcvcnsville scored in the second period on a six yard run by Steve Fisher. In the third period, Hamilton's Ray Reynolds, a 245-pound sophomore tackle, intercepted a pass and ran it back 10 yards for the score.

Hamilton tallied again in the fourth period. Stevensvillc also scored in the final period, this time on an 81-yard run from the line of scrimmage by Fisher. Plentywood 22, Wolf Point 6 WOLF POINT The Class Plentywood Wildcats, defending Eastern Division champions, served notice Saturday afternoon that they are going to be just as tough this year as they bounced Class A Wolf Point 22-6 in a nonconference game. Plentywood tallied on three end runs, twice in the second period and once in the first, and added a pair of runs for extra points as they dominated the first half. In the second half of play, coach Terry Brown's Wolves held Plentywood to two first downs and scored their only touchdown, on a 10-yard pass from Colin Grady to Bob Door- nek.

Wolf Point picked up 100 yards of penalties and the visitors were assessed 90.

Groza, the leading scorer in NFL history with 1,349 points during his 17-year career, led the defensive unit.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE 1J Selections Reflect Superiority of Modern Players Unitas, Brown, Sayers on All-Time NFL Team The Bad Boy of Baseball swung jauntily into the dresslnj room. What Richie Alen was doing was another No-No but, at least, he was in time for the game. It wouldn't start for another 15 minutes or so, yet. Of course, Richie Allen had missed the team bus, batting practice, and the first few bars of the National Anthem, but, for him, it was the rankest kind of punctuality.

He has been known to miss not only games, but cities. By the time he got suited up, he practically rattled around in the clubhouse. He didn't know what to do with himself for five minutes. He doesn't take batting practice anyway. For one thing, he doesn't need it.

All Togged Up Richie Allen arrived at the ballpark looking as if he got his clothes out of Currier Ives. The lace shirt, the bell-bottomed trousers, the Edwardian coat, the jodhpurs, the purple gold-rimmed glasses made him look like a guy on his way to a duel. He greeted a sportswriter-friends cordially, began to unbuckle his cufflinks. Suddenly, there was a figure in the doorway. It was the Phillies' new manager, George Myatt.

He addressed himself gruffly to the clubhouse attendant, Jim Muhe. "Tomorrow," he said trifle too loudly, "I want a notice posted that everyone everyone is to be here no later than 6:20." Richie Allen looked as if he was smothering a laugh. The manager stalked out. "Now that," said Richie Alen with a twinkle in his eye, "is the way to do it. No scene.

Just the word." Richie Allen is supposed to come into the dressing room trailing an odor of Sen-Sen and trying not to bump into things. But on this night at Dodger Stadium, he took the field cold, listened to the thunderous boos, robbed Manny Mota of an extra base hit in the first, and thumped two singles and a home run. Richie Allen is one of the 10 best hitters of a baseball of his time, maybe of all time. He's one of the best advertisements for V.O.-and-water who ever lived. On the Phillies, he stands out like Man O'War in a mule barn.

PhillyPans Various Richie Allen so clearly belongs in a World Scries that the fans of Philadelphia are furious at him for not getting into one. When someone pointed out to his former manager, Gent Mauch, once, that Richie was a loner, Mauch retorted bitterly, "Yeah. He's fallen in with the wrong crowd." The case of the people of the city of Philadelphia vs. Richard Anthony Allen together with the cross-complaint of the defendant might go somewhat as follows: 1. "He Does he now? Well, that makes him unique in baseball.

Think what it might have done to Babe Ruth's career. Or General Grant's.) 2. "He doesn't dress with the team." (He doesn't get there on time! i 3. "He forced the resignation and firing of two managers." I have it on the best authority Richie Allen barely knew either one of them.) 4. "He forced the trade of Frank Thomas after they got in a fight." i Frank Oh, you mean the guy whose playing slow-pitch softball now? Is THAT Richie Allen's fault, to?) 5.

"He hates Philadelphia." (I KNEW he couldn't be all bad. I 6. "He misses games, trips, curfews, busses, and sometimes the first few innings." If you want someone who'll show up and go to bed on time, you could get a baseball team out of an employment agency. What do you want, a hitter or a butler?) 7. "He feuds with the fans." (You mean those lovely people who call his wife at all hours of the night, throw bricks through his windows, insult his kids? This time, Richie Allen, you've gone too far! I mean, those people PAY for the privilege.

Always remember who pays your salary, 8. "He doesn't take batting practice with the team." (He doesn't want to embarrass them.) 9. "Look at all Baseball has done for him." (Yeah, like when he cut his hand and it looked as if he might never be able to grip a bat again. Baseball told him they couldn't sign him to a full contract, but, if he couldn't make it, he could keep his cap. 10.

"He's not living up his potential." (Who told 'you that -God?) No, Richie Allen is not what's wrong with the Philadelphia Phillies'. Philadelphia is what's wrong with the Philadelphia Phillies. If he leaves the game, it will be his loss. Also, Baseball's. They will both have fallen in with the wrong crowd.

(AP) -Travis "Road Runner" Williams ripped off two touchdowns in the third quarter, one on a 44-yard dash, to pace the Green Bay Packers to a 31-19 victory over the Pittsburgh Stcelers in a National Football League exhibition game Saturday night. Williams, a sensation two at cornerback, Emlen Tunnell of the New York Giants at safety and Lou Groza of Cleveland as the kicking specialist. The entire team, as were the five decade squads honoring players from each period, of NFL history, is featured in a book The First Fifty Years, published by Simon and Schuster in conjunction with the NFL. Unitas, the Baltimore passing genius who has become the epitome of what a pro quarterback should be, beat out two of his contemporaries Sonny Jur-gensen of Washington and Bart Starr of Green Bay plus a host of other standouts. But his record 33,160 yards gained passing almost 20 miles and record 254 touchdowns gave him the edge over the quarterbacks he is still playing against and the two players voted the runners-up, Sammy Baugh of Washington and Norm Van Brocklin of Los Angeles and Philadelphia.

The selection of Brown, who set one-game, single season and career rushing records while with Cleveland, came as no surprise but during the preliminary phase of selections the other berth appeared to be wide open. It went to Sayers, the Chicago comet whose fantastic breaka way ability has propelled him to Greg Cook and two field goals by Dale Livingston allowed the Cincinnati Bengals to squeeze past the Denver Broncos 13 to 11 Saturday night in their final American Football League preseason game.
