PALMER FIRES 67 l. iii estern Reid Leads Open CHICAGO (AP) Steve Held bolted out of a logjam with a spectacular finish, shot a five under par 66 Thursday and took the first round lead in the $130,000 Western Open Golf Tournament. Reid, a 33 year old tour regular whose only victory came in the 1968 Azalea Open, a satelite event, held a one stroke lead over a big group at 67, headed by Arnold Palmer. Palmer, the game's all time leading money winner and its greatest gate attraction, fashioned his round despite a startling four putt performance on the second green. ly Country Club course, was well back at 72.

"I just didn't play very well," said Nicklaus. "But it's not bad. I can shoot a 72 and still win the tournament. This isn't the kind of course where you have to shoot a 67 every day to win it." Billy Casper, winner of this prestige laden title last year, is not competing. Neither is Gary Player nor Lee Trevino.

Reid, a husky six footer, started on the back nine, turned in one over, missed a 4 foot birdie putt on the next hole then romped in with birdies on six of his next seven holes. "I guess it's feast or famine with me," said Reid, who had as I did in my ability to fly," he said. But he canned putts of 15, 20 and 12 feet on the next three holes, paired the fifth, put a seven iron nine feet from the flag on the next and made it, rammed home a 40 foot monster on the seventh and closed his string with an eight foot putt on the eighth. Reid, who has made only $11, 000 this year, said he changed his grip and the mechanics of his swing prior to the start of the season, but declined to ex ptain just what change was made. his best finish of the year last week with a sixth in the Kemper.

"I'm either in contention for the title or missing the cut." He bogeyed the 11th hole, his second, when he had a poor drive, had to chip back to the fairway, was short in three and failed on a 20 foot putt. Reid missed putts of less than eight feet on the next two holes, missed two more from 10 feet or less on 17 and 18, then failed on the y2 footer on the first hole. "About that time I had as much confidence in my putter "But it looks like it's starting to pay off," he said. "I'm playing better tee to the green the last couple of weeks, much better than I have all season." Palmer had five birdies and a total of nine one putt greens in addition to that four putt. "I can't remember the last time I did that," he said.

He reached the par five second with two big nits and was about 45 feet from the flag. "I left my first one about eight feet short," he said. "Then I kind of charged the next one and ran it by about V2 feet. So I go around on the other side of the hole and miss that one." See Western Open summaries on Page 3E. "I guess I was as surprised as anyone," Palmer said.

Tied, with him were Dow Fin sterwald, New Zealand lefty Bob Charles, Johnny Pott, Bobby Nichols, Hugh Royer and Dick Lotz, winner of last week's Kemper Open. The group at 68 included Dale Douglas, recent bridegroom Miller Barber and Gibby Gilbert.

"You know how television relaxes you," said Wessel, his right hand hovering behind him. "Remember last summer, in the time of the troubles, how you eased your mind by watching the curling matches?" Nothing like sports to get your mind off troubles," Carbarn agreed, thumbing through the 1 i i listings.

Then he brightened. "Well, what do you know? The baseball All Star game is on television. Say, that hould kill the next three hours." He flipped the selector to the right channel, expecting to hear the soothing voices of the beer salesman baseball announcers. Instead, there was a picture of an angry picket line. "Do not turn your dial," said a news broadcaster.

"This is the All Star game headquarters. The game is being delayed because of a player strike. For further explanation, we take you to our studios. "I want my All Star game," Carbarn shouted, his face turning red. THE BEGINNING "It all began last year," the studio announcer said, "when the All Star balloting was sold out to a shaving company.

As a result, a computerized ballot was produced several months be fore the season even opened. "When Rico Carty, batting .430, was left off the ballot, the i Atlanta fans resented having to stage a desperate write in cam paign for him. Rev. Ralph Abernathy and Gov. Lester Maddox combined their forces to dump several tons of shaving equip ment off Stone Mountain in Atlanta.

Their slogan was: 'Computerization without representation is tyranny "The next danger sign was when commissioner Bowie Kuhn chastised Jim Bouton for writing his book of clubhouse gossip. This emboldened the Houston Astros to release Bouton in mid July, But many college students, unable to find jobs that summer, had time to take Bouton's case, charging repression of ideas. "The students held a symbolic book burning during an Astro game, scorching several yards of Astro Turf. Judge Roy Hofheinz, from his penthouse behind right field, uttered his now famous sentence: 'Let them eat BIGGEST SURPRISE "But maybe the Tom Seaver situation was the most shock ing of all. The hero of 1969 lost a few games and started to have temper tantrums on the mound whenever somebody made a base hit off him.

At first Seaver was mad at himself for letting down M. Donald Grant, his agent, his biographer, Nancy and his dog Slider. "Later, Seaver read about the two football players who dropped out to pursue a more sensitive life. Seaver realized he was placing too much of an emphasis on perfection. In August, Seaver joined a farming commune up near the Oregon border.

"But perhaps the final blow was the Curt Flood decision, when the courts finally modified the reserve clause. Many of the greatest players Rickie Allen, Roberto Clemente, Henry Aaron, Bob Gibson, Jim Bouton all tried to jump their clubs. But the club owners, pleading poverty, refused to hire any of them. MASS REACTION "The blackball of these great players has produced a mass reaction among the people. The government has been able to Solarize workers and students up to now, but many of them ave formed a common front.

San Antonio fans will remember Bridges well, for he coached the St. Mary's grid teams from 1935 38 and was associated with the Golden Gloves during a career which spanned several sports in various sections of the country. He was a master at devising trick plays and new innovations that confused and confounded opponents yet all of his resourceful and imaginative plays were all legal on the books, such as the quick and return kicks, eight man offensive line, tackle around play, hidden ball trick, sideline kickoff and formations enabling players at every position except center to be eligible to score a touchdown. Bridges once said he never knowingly broke a rule of football but that a total of 22 rule changes evolved as a result of rules committees restudying and reshaping the regulations from which he was able to constantly invent new plays. Even though he was in his early 70s, bent with age, he could call upon his memory to speak first hand of the great figures in sports.

A tiny man who literally walked with giants, he was active for about a decade with the San Antonio Golden Gloves program as the equipment room manager. Though he stayed in the background during an evening of ring action, he would hold court as a great storyteller of all sports when Gloves officials would get together for a bull session after the fights. In that respect, he vied with the late Dummy Deems, a colorful police reporter for the Express News who handled the public address system for the Glovers until his death several years ago.
