Scotland (UPI) Tony Jacklin of Great Britain was the only man under par after two rounds of the British Open-at 141 after a 72 Thursday-while Jack Nicklaus trailed by a stroke. Nicklaus, the big man from Columbus, Ohio, who is bidding for his third straight major championship, suffered because of poor iron play while fashioning halves of 38-34 for 72 to be one of several men at 142. After his round, Nicklaus, who already has the Masters and U.S.

Open titles in his possession in his bid for the Grand Slam, said: "The course is just waiting to be eaten up. It's absolutely a piece of cake." Jacklin, a 26-year- Briton, who won the title in 1969 and took 'the U.S. 'Open the following, had halves of 35-72 over th course despite a triple bogey six at the 13th. Johnny Miller, a 25-year-old from San Francisco, came home with a course record 66 after halves of 32-34. But an opening 76 also left him at 142.

The highlight of his round was a double eagle at the 558-yard fifth. Nicklaus admitted over-confidence may have been his undoing. "Because of the good conditions I took it for granted I would shoot in the mid 60s. Maybe I took too much for granted and the course was tougher than I thought," he said.

A Ram spokesman said he was not permitted to say anything more concerning the transaction. It had been reported recently that Rosenbloom would swap his club for the Rams. At that time Rosenbloom said an investigation of the transfer by the league was the only thing holding up the swap which also must be approved by 20 of the 26 NFL clubs. Under the reported proposal a group headed by Chicago Industrialist Robert I a would acquire the Colts.

The Rams have been on the market since the death last year of principal owner Daniel F. Reeves.

A contract dispute between Ak-Sar-Beu and the horsemen had threatened the opening of the Omaha track earlier this season, but the dispute was settled less than 48 hours before the first post time. Some observers had felt the-Lincoln meeting might also be threatened, but Brandt said the contract was signed Tuesday evening.

The new contract, for only one year, calls for the horsemen to receive 49 per cent of the track's share of the take-out. Out of each $100 that is bet, $86 goes back to the bettors. The state gets $4 and the track $10. Of that $10, the horsemen will now receive $4.90 in parse money with the track having $5.10 of every $100 wagered to conduct the meeting. During the 1971 Lincoln meeting, the horsemen received 46 per cent.

"We would like to have had more than a one-year contract," Brandt offered, "But I think one thing that hurt us there was that Former Park had only a one-year contract and the horsemen wanted to keep all the out-state tracks on the same schedule." lii mm AvJlJ Area Once Famous Tourist Resort Serenity and Beauty i' 4 1 UPI TELEPHOTO Rose Defeated Dallas (UPI) Favorite Ben Crenshaw survived some erratic iron play to win his match in the opening round of the Trans Mississippi Golf tournament Wednesday.
