"I don't have concrete plans to quit on a specific date, but I do have some alternative plans to the tour that are in the works right now," Allin, 30, said in a telephone 'interview from Hilton Head, S.C. where he's playing in the Heritage Classic.

(AP) Jack Nicklaus, firmly reasserting his authority as the game's premier player, confidently shot an awesome eight-under-par 63 yesterday and stretched his lead to a bulging six strokes after the second round of the $200,000 Heritage Golf Classic. While Nicklaus was setting the record on the tight and testing Harbour Town golf links, a course he helped design, Johnny Miller quietly slipped away from this resort island, a victim of the cut. Nicklaus, a winner the last time out and the only leader Sign John Sissons Rowdies Get Englishman this tournament has had, finished two rounds with a 129 total, a distant and all but overwhelming 13 strokes under par. IT MAY have been one of the greatest rounds of his unmatched career. It was two shots off the 61s that Miller shot earlier this season in Tucson and Phoenix, but the courses and conditions don't compare.

"This is the toughest course in the world," Lee Trevino said of the layout that was hacked out of a South Carolina swamp only eight years ago. "If you let the rough grow up like they do in the U.S. Open, it'd take two weeks to play 72 holes." "It may, be the finest in the world." said globe-trotting Gary Player of South Africa. "It requires every shot." And Nicklaus had them. He threaded his drives through the pine, palm and oak forests that line the narrow fairways.

He lofted his irons with rifle accuracy to the tiny greens that nestle among the giant, moss-hung cypress and magnolia. He made the putts. ONLY TOM Weiskopf, who played the back nine in 30 for a 65, could keep the determined Nicklaus in view. Weiskopf was a distant second at 135. Miller, the defending champion here and the young man who has challenged Nicklaus for world golf superiority, never got untracked.

"I just played lousy," Miller said. He managed a 73 yesterday but had a 151 total and failed to qualify for the final two rounds. It was the first time he had missed the cut since the 1973 Canadian Open. "This was," Nicklaus said after a moment's consideration, "a better round than the 64 at Augusta He matched the record for the Masters with a 64 at Augusta National Golf Club in 1965 but insisted this was better because "this is a tougher course." He ranked it among the best of his career. "I hit only three shots I wasn't totally happy with," Nicklaus said.

"I hit no bad shots." He missed two fairways and two greens. He didn't make a bogey. He did not have a "5" on his card. He birdied five times in a stretch of six holes. He was seven under par after 12 holes and was flirting with the untouched 50s.

HE NEEDEDonly 26 strokes on the greens and didn't make a putt longer than 18 feet. Four times he threw irons within three feet of the hole. And he missed one of them. He scored twice from 18 feet and got his other three birdies on putts of about 12 feet. He caught a bunker on the 10th hole and came within four inches of holing the explosion shot.

He also was trapped on the 18th but came out to three feet to save the score that ranks among his very best. Heritage Leaders 1 i 1 On His Way To Record Performance Nicklaus shot 63 yesterday during Heritage. England's Under 21 World Cup team and in 1964 led the tournament in scoring with nine goals.
