Trevino efends Title Spoiling Jack Grand Slam Bid dian Open, was fortunate to play his four rounds in freak conditions for a Scottish links. Nicklaus came a week early to prepare for what he believed would be the normal wet and windy conditions. But with the last three rounds being played in a near heatwave, his preparation 'amounted to nothing. "Naturally I would have liked bad weather, or the normal Scottish conditions as I understand them. That would have eliminated a lot of Trevino said: "I hooked my drive after twice having to stand off after a couple of cameramen upset my concentration.

I never thought Tony would make the birdie putt, but I thought he'd get down in two and was already preparing for a playoff Sunday. But he blew it and let me in." Jacklin also missed short birdie putts at the 13th and 15th which would have put the title out of Trevino's grasp. Trevino, who gave himself only 1 Vi days of preparation after flying in from the Cana I TV JVv Wt1 -it MrL Iv'l guys," Nicklaus said. Trevino, who now has two U.S. and British opens to his credit, said: "I still don't think of myself in terms of a grand slammer.

I've won four titles in five years of competitive golf and I can't classify myself as being in the same class as Jack Nicklaus nobody can." Trevino said his next ambition is to win a tournament in his home state of Texas. "Would you believe I've never won in Texas?" he said. He also confirmed his goal remains to earn a million dollars from the game. "I hope to do that within the next two years," he said. Doug Sanders shot a 35-35-70 for 281 and fourth place: Briton Brian Barnes finished fifth with a 34-37-71 and 283, while' twotime winner Gary Player of South Africa carded five birdies and a bogey in his 32-35-67 which left him sixth on 285.

By Mike Hughes MUIRFIELD, Scotland (UPI) Jack Nicklaus. staged a magnificent rearguard action in the fourth round of the British Open golf champion-Ship Saturday to keep his grand slam hopes alive, but in the end Lee Trevino rode his luck to a successful one stroke defense of title. Trevino, the wise-cracking Mexican from Dallas, appeared to have kissed his title goodbye at the long 17th, but he chipped in from 30 feet for the fourth time i the week to save his par, and six-under-par for 72-holes.

Nicklaus, who had earlier won the Masters and U.S. Open in his bid for the modern slam, started the day six strokes off the pace but burned up the seaside course to come home in a five-under record equalling 66 for 279 just one stroke away from forcing a playoff. Nicklaus, who said Friday a 65 could give him a playoff, masked his disappointment. "I had a 65 but let it slip," he said. "There was nothing I could do but charge.

I did my best but it was not enough." Nicklaus added: "I never believed the slam was there for the taking, although I Trevino, who knew he'd been lucky, said "I've always said 'God is a I thought. I'd blown it on the 17th, but when that chip dropped I turned to my caddie and told him "That's the straw which broke the camel's back." Trevino said he hoped Nicklaus went on to win the PGA next month. "Nobody will remember my victory, but if he wins the PGA they'll remember me as the guy who stopped his slam." Trevino, who shot a 66 in the third round to put the title within his grasp, scrambled most of the way Saturday. He started with a bogey but cancelled this with a birdie, then made two more bogeys before he gainel his eagle at the ninth by reaching the green in two and canning a 20-footer. Trevino started back bogey-birdie to be six-under and share the lead with Nicklaus, then Jacklin, who also got an eagle at the ninth to cancel out two bogeys, birdied the 12th to bring himself to six-under and set up a threeway tie.

Nicklaus had completed his round when the last pair came to the 17th, still locked together at six-under and with a playoff beginning to loom. Trevino found a trap and took another three to get to the home green, his fourth going through to the back of the green to nestle in the semi-rough. He then played the stroke which won him the title and Jacklin cracked. Three-Putted The Briton reached the edge of the green in two, played a weak chip but still had two putts from 15 feet to save his par. He went for a birdie but hit the ball three-feet past the pin and then blew the return.

It meant three putts and that was the end for him. Trevino kisses the British Open Golf trophy after he won the title for the second consecutive year Saturday.

(AP Wirephoto) Johnson, Colbert Remain Tied In Milwaukee Open By Ian Westergren REYKJAVIK (UPI) In a final attempt to get Bobby Fischer to return to the chess board, the world championship match committee proposed Saturday that Sunday's game in his contest with Russia's Boris Spassky be played privately with only the players and judges present. Fischer refused to play the second game Thursday because the organizers would not remove television cameras in the chess hall which he said distracted him.

But arbiter Lothar Schmid of West Germany and other chess officials said they were still pessimistic about the possibility of continuing the match, in which Spassky leads, 2-0, after beating the temperamental American in the first game and winning the second by default. They said Fischer would presumably refuse to turn up for the third game Sunday because the match committee rejected his protest against Schmid's decision to give the second game to the Russian world champion when Fischer thought it possible. Nineteen times out of twenty 279 would have been good enough, but this week it was not." Britain's Tony Jacklin, the 1969 winner, let the title slip at the 17th when he three-putted from 15-feet. Instead of going to the home tee one up on Trevino he arrived one down. He finished with another bogey for a one over 72 and 280 which left him alone in third place.

By successfully defending his title, Trevino, 32, became the first man since Arnold Palmer, in 1961-62, to score back-to-back victories in the $125,000 tournament. His winning check was $13,750. Conservative Golf Trevino said he would play conservative golf and he did just that. The highlight of his round was an eagle three at the long ninth which put him back to six-under and level with Nicklaus who was then at the 11th. He started home bogey-birdie but then matched par all the way.

Nicklaus, who already has 13 major titles under his belt, played near faultless golf for 15 holes during which time he scored six birdies. It could so easily have been 10 had attacking putts dropped between the 12th and 15th. But they just stayed out. Jack's hopes virtually died at the 16th when he missed a fivefooter for his first bogey of the round. He scrambled pars at the 17th and 18th when he badly needed one birdie.

(AP) -Adolph Rupp, the winningest coach in college basketball history, will come out of retirement to serve as president of the American Basketball Association's Memphis franchise.

There was no immediate reaction from Spassky or Fischer to the proposal, but chess officials said Spassky cannot go against a request by Fischer to move the game behind closed doors. The two players get 30 per cent of the TV income and they would lose this money if the cameras were removed or if they moved into a closed room without cameras. Tonight 8:00 P.M.! "Raintree 100" MT.

Proposal Rejected At a closed door meeting Saturday Fischer's lawyers proposed to the match committee that Sunday's game be designated the second game while the American Chess Federation appeals the decision to give Thursday's game to Spassky to the International Chess Federation (FIDE) Congress at Skopje, Yugoslavia. Depending on FIDE's decision that game could then be replayed or decided at the end of the 24-game world title series, Fischer's lawyers said. The match committee rejected the proposal, chess sources said, and reiterated that the clock will be started at 5 p.m. (1 p.m. EDT) Sunday for the third game regardless of whether Fischer turns up.

All of the players commented on the tight pin placements almost all of the pins were at the far edges of the greens Saturday. "It makes it tough," Colbert said.

"That's why the scores were lower today." Allin, who also hit a 69 Saturday, said he liked the tight pin placements. "It makes it a little more fun," he said. "If you put the pins in the middle of the greens, it wouldn't be as much fun." The best round of the day was a 66 by Lee Elder, who was tied with eight others at 207 in 15th place.
