"On the back, everything went in," said Bean, who dropped two putts from about 20 feet another from 30 and one from 40.

Bean, a non-winner for the past two years, completed 36 holes over the Forest Oaks Country Club course in 138, six under par. Jack Renner also had a bogey-free 67 in the extremely difficult playing conditions and was at 139 at the tournament's halfway point -When I saw the way the wind was blowing. I was concerned with (qualifying for the final two rounds), so I just went out with the idea of making a lot of pars," Renner said. "I think the conservative approach paid off. If I'd been trying to shoot 67 in winds like this, I'd probably have had a 77." Nick Faldo of England and Dave Peoples are at 141.

Faldo had a 70, while Peoples shot 71. North, the former U.S. Open champion who had shared the first-round lead, struggled through the worst of the weather. "It wasn't much fan," said North, who played with temperatures in the low 40s and winds gusting more than 30 mpb. North is tied with Buddy Gardner.

Mac O'Grady and Canadian Jim Nelford. Gardner had a second-round 73, O'Grady a 72 and Nelford a 7L Rookie Willie Wood, who tied North for the 18-hoIe lead, went to 76 for a 144 total Bean ran off nine consecutive pars before dropping a 10-foot birdie putt on the 10th. "It was like somebody took the lid off." he said. Bean holed 20 footers on the next two holes, played 13 in par. then holed out from 40 feet on the 14th.

His final birdie came on the 16th, from about 30 feet The slender Renner has a history of playing some of his best golf in the winds. Asked if his slight frame was not a handicap in those conditions, he don't know how many times I have to shoot 67 in the wind before people will think I can do it" tj( Antfv aan 71-47 13 Jock Menner 72-47.

Her citizenship, granted less than two weeks after her arrival here, opens tlie way for Budd to run for Britain in the summer Olym- pics.

The International Olympic Committee charter stipulates a three-" year delay in competing after a change of nationality and the IOC has said it still has to give permission for the rules to be waived. Edwards predicts Soviet boycott GRINNELL. Iowa (AP) Dr. Harry Edwards, a sociology pro-: fessor at the University of California-Berkeley, said Friday the Soviet Union has little incentive for joining in the 1984 Summer Olympics and probably will announce a boycott within the next two months. (Related stories on Page 5.) "It is utterly incredible that so many people are so sure that the USSR will participate in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles," wards said during a speech at Grinnell College's "Sports and the Na-' tional Character" symposium.

"I am quite convinced they will not" Edwards has written and lectured widely on sports and race rela- tions. He was an organizer of the Olympic Project of Human Rights. which led a "Black Power" demonstration at the 1968 Summer Olym-; pics in Mexico City. During awards ceremonies, two black U.S. athletes raised their fists during the national anthem and were subsequently sent home.

Edwards said despite assurances from Soviet officials they will attend the Games, he expects them to announce a boycott before the June 2 deadline for pulling out because the U.S. boycotted the 1980 Games in Moscow and because of recent political events ranging from the Soviet downing of a South Korean jetliner to the U.S. invasion of Grenada and increased U.S. military involvement in the Corner tops Shore Pearson is honored as UW hockey MVP I -7" USC women lead Olympic hopefuls goals and 21 assists and was tied for fifth in team scoring. Senior center John Johannson also of Rochester, Minit, and junior defenseman Jan-ake Danielson of Insjon, Sweden, shared the Ivan Williamson Award for scholarship and athletic excellence.

Sophomore forward Ernie Vargas' of Coon Rapids, was named most improved player. He more than, tripled his offensive output as a fresh-L man. He had five goals and 15 assists for 20 points, compared to two goals and four assists in 1982-83. JoAnne Carner cess in this tournament in the past: "I've really tried hard every year to win here, but I never have.

It's considered our Masters, so Carner said that despite scoring welL her round was less than memorable. "I'm happy to be in," she said. "I never hit two good shots in a row, I had no idea where it was going. "But I did have a good putting touch and my putting saved me. I was fighting all the way; if I'd got caught in the wind, the way I was swinging I probably wouldn't have broken 80." Bradley, 33, had a different sort of problem during the round.

"I've been sneezing, fighting something," she said. "I'm losing my voice." Still, she said, "I felt very confident out there. It was one of those days when I had a real good line to the hole and felt like all I had to do was hit it onto the green." RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) -JoAnne Carner, whose collection of Ladies Professional Golf Association championships is conspiciously missing a title from the women's richest tournament shot a four-under-par 68 Friday to take the lead midway through that event the 1400,000 Nabisco Dinah Shore.

Also included in the group at 144 were Kathy Whitworth, HollLs Stacy, Donna Caponi and Sally Little.

Lauri Peterson, the second-year pro who was the opening day leader with a 68, had her problems during the second round, carding a 77 to drop back into the pack.
