D-2 Tuesday, February 4, 1975 HONOLULU ADVERTISER 'Super Teams' arrive today Hal Wood Continued from D-l his parents in the Grand Bahamas. He is 31 years old, has been a pro for six years and first hit the tour in 1969. His success might be termed underwhelming. He has been working for former U.S. Open champion Craig Wood in Freeport, Grand Bahamas, recently acting as caddy master.

At Michigan State he was on the freshman golf team. "But we never played a single match," he recalls. So he got into the business of match play later. He figures he was about 105th on the money-winning list last year, which is like being low man on the totem pole. A good year "But I've played quite well this year on the tour," he said.

"I won $2,400 each in Phoenix and in the Bing Crosby so all told I've won nearly $50,000 since the first of the year." While the Hawaiian Open has been won by some greats, such as Jack Nicklaus and Lee Trevino, it also has been the stepping stone to better things for many others, including Gay Brewer (who followed victory here with a win in the Masters); Grier Jones and John Schlee, who all made big money on the tour after a break-through at Waialae. So there's the possibility that the pleasant and happy Groh may move on to bigger and better things after years of privation on the tour. But it is presumed that he'd just as soon not have to face Arnie Palmer in a showdown more than once in a lifetime.

"If he wanted to take a chance on me." AS IT turned out, it was a nice payday for both of them Chris Schenkel, the ABC telecaster, told America via TV: "This is the biggest Monday crowd I'ye ever seen for a golf tournament including the Nicklaus-Trevino U.S. Open But Palmer disagrees.

He said he's seen many bigger including an exhibition in which he appeared one time that drew 25,000. There were here Allan Miller shot 18 consecutive pars yesterday and wound up with a 280 good for $5,060. And nobody seemed to notice that former Hawaiian Open champion Bruce Crampton made the only real charge of the day at the leaders. CRAMPTON shot a final round 68 and vaulted into a tie for fourth place at 277, good for $9,680 Former champion Tom Shaw: "I played retrogressive arithmatic. Shot 72-71-70-69.

And that's fine with me. I'm coming back." Tom had a 282, good for $2,090 one of his best purses in many months. Shaw also was closest to the hole on the 17th green at 5 feet, 5 inches, and won the free use of a car for a year And as Palmer left the course, someone hollered "See you next year." Replied Arnie: "I certainly hope so." By HAROLD 0. HOVE Arnie Palmer was asked yesterday if he felt any particularly deep disappointment over not winning the Hawaiian Open. "I feef disappointed," he said.

"But no more than usual when I lose. I've been disappointed many times. And I hope to be close enough to be disappointed many more times. "I'm going to keep in there trying to win. I'm playing the best I've played in two years.

I three-putted only one green during the whole 72, holes of play. "I missed five greens and bogeyed four of them. But I'm determined as ever to win." The golfing idol, now greying, wearing glasses and 44 years old, couldn't give his Army much to cheer about yesterday; WHILE MOST of the gallery of followed at the heels of the trio of Palmer, Al Geiberger and Forrest Fezler, it was a strangely silent crowd that waited for the famous charge that never came Don Rubenstein was the caddy for winner Gary Groh all the way from Memphis, Tenn. And he's not the usual run-of-the-mill caddy. Rubenstein works for an ABC-TV affiliate in Memphis, but had caddied for Groh before.

He had hoped to be assigned to Hawaii, by ABC, but when he didn't get the call, asked Groh if he could caddy for him over here.

Then I said 'coach you don't even know what's happening here, go back to the bench." HALM SAID the only dialogue between O'Neil and the ref was after the game when Bruce shook hands with Oregon coach Dick Harter. "He whispered something to Buckiewicz and walked away," Halm said "Buckiewicz erupted emotionally and was beside himself and had to be restrained by the other official and two security Wohlhuter wins Sullivan honor "BARWIG misunderstood what happened and coach O'Neil misunderstood what was happening. Then, Stewart lost his control," Halm remembers. "He (Barwig) thought he was to get hit and coach O'Neil thought he was being attacked. It got pretty well straightened out until Stewart came over.

"As far as I know I think I was the only one who said anything to Stewart. I 'said 'Dick, relax," and he said a few top-rated team bama dropped a spot to seventh despite a pair of victories.
