Weiskopf made his round with a birdie eagle par birdie string starting on his 10th hole. The group at 68 included Phil Rodgers, Curtis Sifford, Frank Conner and Larry Nelson.

Miller, who had won both the Tucson and Phoenix Opens the last two years, had a shot at the lead until late in the bright, warm, sunny day when he pumped his tee shot into a lake that borders the right side of the -18th fairway on this jflong, otherwise dry and arid desert layout. The errant shot on the final hole led to a (horrendous, triple-bogey I seven that ruined Milliner's round and gave jhim a score of two-un-ider-par 70 four, fistrokes off the pace in (the first round of play Baseball In receiving the $30,000 Hickok diamon-studded belt as the Professional Athlete of the Year, Pete Rose admitted Thursday "I'm not a good sportsman. If I get my rear end kicked, I don't congratulate the guy who did it. I go to the dressing room and kick the door off my locker."

Loughery was tagged with his first technical in the second quarter when he complained that the Squires were using a zone defense (which is illegal). His other five technicals came during the final 2:45 of the game when he retaliated by sending the Nets into a similar defense. The NBA star was fined $50 for the first technical, $100 for the second and $150 for each of the last four for a grand total of $750. He was thrown out of the game after the sixth technical. Members of the NBA's board of governors and commissioner Larry O'Brien met Thursday with representatives of the players' union in another effort to settle the controversial Oscar Robertson law suit but broke up after little progress was made.
