Other U.S.

competitors were strung out in the rear, as far back as 84th, a place given to Spider Sabich of Kyburz, after he reported late for his start. Giovanoli, 29, raced down the 1,700 meter course--a little more than a mile--in 1 minute, 33.27 seconds. Andrzej Bachlecia of Poland was second in 1': 33.92 and Heini Messner of Austria was third in 1:34.02. Skiers who were not disqualified will compete in the second run today, with the winner to be determined on the best total time of the two runs. Other U.S.

year, announced Friday the wedgeshaped cars will be built by Francis McNamara, a former green beret officer in Vietnam, and his crew of German engineers. "This is exciting equipment," Andretti said at a news conference. "I'm looking forward to this season more than any I've ever raced." McNamara, a native of Galcsburg, 111., was reared by his grandparents at Bloomington, only 55 miles from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the richest USAC race is run on Memorial Day each year. McNamara has been in the race car building business only two years but his cars have run successfully in formula Vee, formula Ford, formula III and formula II divisions. McNamara's crew, includes Joseph H.

Karasek, formerly of Lola, and Peter Arundell, formerly of Lotus. One of the McNaniaras will be built especially for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Andretti set a 500-mile record speed of 156.867 miles per hour last year and won $205,727. Another car will be designed especially for the elaborate new Ontario, racing plant where a 500-mile race will be run Sept. 6. McNamara said the car would be planned to buck the possible high temperatures and high wind 'conditions at Ontario during that season.

Kickoff at the Coliseum is 1:05. "The award is called the George Halas Trophy and we like to keep it in the family," he laughed. In three Pro Bowls, Sayers has had runs of 74, 52, 51, 48 and 42 yards and had a 55-yard pass play called back.

Larry Hinson and Dale Douglass, each with a 66, were tied at 137. Billy Casper took a second consecutive 72 for 144 and missed the cut for the final two rounds. This was only the second time since 1963 that Casper has missed the cut in a PGA tournament. Harney, a club pro from Button, who now plays only about 10 tournaments a year, scored his last tour victory in the Los Angeles Open six years ago. "The wind was against us on the par-3 holes and that made them tougher," he said.

"This is a really fine golf course. You sure have to drive it straight here." He had only three birdies and a single bogey, all on the front side, as he moved past the faltering Greene. He birdied the first and the seventh, both par fives, from four feet, bogeyed the fifth when he drove into the trees, but got the stroke back with an eight-foot birdie putt on the next hole. Dick Mayer, a 46-year- old veteran who won the 1957 U.S. Open, fell far off the pace after an opening 66.

He had a 74 for 140. Ziegler, with his 65 had the lowest round of the day. He played the back nine first and took a one- under-par 34 with two birdies and one bogey on his card. He had a four-under-par 31 on the front nine with five birdies. Littler was in trouble three times on his round when he hit tee shots into the trees.

"The secret of this golf course," he said, "is to go down the fairway. This is a bout as narrow a golf course as I've seen. It's just mandatory that you drive straight." faul Harmy Howie Johnson 67-6S--135 Gene Littler 67-4B--135 Larry Zlealer 70-45--135 Homero Blancas 67-69--136 70-6B--138 Terry Dill 6B-4I-- 136 Rod Funseth 69-67--136 Phil Rodgers 69-67--134 Lee Trevino 70-66--136 Larry Hinson 71-66--137 Douglass Chuck Montalbano Steve Spary 69-69-- 13B 'Hugh Rover 69-49--138 Babe Hlskey 70-68-- 13B Jack Ewing 68-70--138 Dave Gumlia 70-68--138 Bruce Crampton 67-71--138 Ron Ccrrudo 71-68--139 Jerry Pittman 68-71--139 Dave Hill Ray Floyd 70-49--139 Bob Smith 69-70--139 Grier Jones 69-70--139 Chi Chi Rodriguez 139 Billy Maxwell 69-70--139 Jim Wiechers 67-72--139 Don Massengata 70-72--139 Dick Loll 71-61--139 Tom Welskopf 73-67--140 Mason Rudolph 69-71-140 Mayer 66-74--140 Bill Johnston 70-70--140 George floutell 70-71--141 Stove Reid 69-72--141 Jack Montogmery 69-72--141 Fred Marti 70-71--141 John Jacobs 71-71--141 Don Bits' 68-73-141 Dave Marr 72-49--141 Jack Steingraber 67-74-141 Jerry Abbot 70-71--141 Don January 68-73 141 Tom Aaron 71-70--141 Frank Beard 69-72--141 Pete Brown 73-68--141 Tommy Jacob! 67-74--141 Bob Dicksor, P'Z 1 4 Dan Sikes 69-72--141 Joe Porter 74-68--142 Ted Hayes 73-69-142 George Archer R.
