TOT HEOT23-ERESS, UT. mfM, iLCH FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1970 PAGE FIFTEEN Pete (Green Sets Pace In GAM Tourney Onfy Golfer To Shoot Par Through First 36 Holes "'-MP IK '7 -rV, J'lli -4 '-fi Sfc Bill sr I i I Grace, the day's only other par-shooter, canned birdie putts of 12 and 10 feet on the front nine in a one-under-par 35, bogied the next three holes and then bailed out with three straight birdies. "I like this course I really do," he said softly. "It puts a premium on hitting it straight and it makes you do some thinking, too. Those wide-open courses favor the big spray hitters too much." Grace won the GAM crown in 1968.

Other former champions still in contention include Tom Draper, Bud Stevens, Glenn Johnson and Peter Jackson, in addition to Green and McDonald. Dennis Vass of Jackson, the reigning Michigan Amateur champion, added a 76 to his opening round 81 for a 157 total that just barely put him among the low 16 and ties who qualify for the final two rounds of championship competition. Point O'Woods was left without a qualifier when Dave Baushke was disqualified for a sand trap violation after shooting a 155 and Bruce Laing fell one stroke short at 158. tenaw Country Club. The team title is given to the club having the four players with the lowest total of 36-hole scores and this year included McDonald's 150, Peter Jackson's 79-76155 and Joe Bris-son's 76-81157.

Green, the 1969 Michigan Amateur champion and 1967 GAM winner, was one of the few who felt the course was not playing noticeably longer, and was far more concerned about his problems on the greens. "On some holes I hit less club and on some holes I hit more club," Green explained, "but I just couldn't get it in the hole. I must have missed 16 putts by inches." Newcomb rolled in birdie putts of 15, 40, 20, 10 and 12 feet plus a one-footer for a par on the tough 12th hole, and experienced a letdown only on No. 17, where he three-putted from about 40 feet. "These greens are terrific," he said of the soft, water -soaked turf.

"They really hold a shot if you put it up there. I'd hate to play a course like this if it didn't have holding greens." By JIM DeLAND Sports Editor Pete Green was par for the course, and that was good enough for first place in the Golf Association of Michigan championship Thursday at Point O'Woods. Green, a 29-year-old mechanical contractor from Franklin, carved out his second straight even-par 72 over the muggy monster course to earn the Harold R. Kelly Cup and lead a band of 17 championship flight qualifiers into the rugged 36-hole finale scheduled today. Opening with birdie putts of 20 and four feet on two of the first three holes, Green used tee-to-green excellence to over-iome putting frustration the rest of the way while compiling a card of 35-3772 on the par 36-3672 layout.

The only contestant to break par Thursday was University of Michigan golf coach Bill New-comb, the 1967 Michigan Amateur champion, who used a deft putting touch to shoot a 36-3571 and move into a tie for second place at 145, one stroke off the pace. Newcomb is deadlocked with University of Houston student John Grace, playing out of the Country Club of Detroit, who followed an opening round 73 with a 35-3772 Wednesday the only other par round of the day. Most of the other entrants experienced a variety of miseries on a course that almost all agreed played longer, with 21 of the remaining 25 players who broke 80 on Wednesday scoring higher on the second round. Defending champion R. Hunter McDonald of Oakland Hills took four bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine while shooting a 36-4177 and now stands six strokes off the pace with a 150.

"The pin placements were tougher and I guarantee the course was longer," McDonald said. "On the 11th hole, that CLOSE BEHIND: John Grace (left) Country Club of Detroit and Bill Newcomb of Barton Hills are only one stroke off the pace at the halfway point in GAM tournament at Point O'Woods. Newcomb, the University of Michigan golf coach, had only sub-par round of 71 Thursday while tying Grace for second place at 145.

"It is our strongest suit, right now," declared Judd. "It looked good at Joliet despite the fact that (Bill) Feraco didn't get much protection at times. "This was due again to the fact that we were shooting offensive linemen into the game all the time and changing a lot of assignments." Feraco, the former Michigan State quarterback, completed eight of 15 passes for 102 yards. Four of these went to tight end Mike Dissinger, another first of TDs, make reracos ot much easier.

"When we put everything together," said Judd, "our defensive line will be tough." He pointed out that the complete first string unit stopped the Chargers with a first and one to go for a TD last Sunday. The subject of extra points and field goals bring a smile to Judd's face. The reason is the skill displayed by Dick Ham, a While the Hawks have what Judd described as "decent depth" in most other positions, the secondary has Jim Glos-singer as the only returner from a sextet of defenders who intercepted 25 passes last season. Glossinger, who intercepted three passes last season, stole one last Sunday and went 74 yards for a TD, but the play was called back. "Our running game shows promise," says Judd.
