(UPI) Gary Player the amazing little South African shotmaker extended his domination of the major international golf championships Saturday in winning the Australian Open with an astounding 72-hole score of 264 28 strokes under par The near-record score was six strokes better than that posted by burly Jack Nicklaus of Columbus Ohio and Australian Frank Phillips who tied Open champion Peter Thomson of Australia was fourth at 271 Player who earlier this year won the United States Open the Canada Cup individual title and the Piccadilly world match play tournament fired a brilliant 62 in morning round over the par-73 6578-yard Kooyonga course to open a wide lead over Nicklaus He shot a 69 in the final round to clinch the title Seven Under Record His aggregate score of 264 was seven strokes under the tournament record he set in winning the 1958 Australian Open and only one stroke off the world record score for an open tournament The chipper South African began the day four strokes behind the powerful Nicklaus the American Masters champion But extraordinary third round which consisted of two eagles eight birdies and eight pars shot him into a four-stroke lead by the time the field teed off for the final round The 62 matched his opening round total that included a spectacular 28 on the front nine Nicklaus who fired a fine 63 Friday slipped to 70 in the third round He lost all chance of victory on the second hole of the afternoon round when he hooked his drive into the tough wireweed and declared his lie unplayable He teed off again (See GARY Page 21) tj 'v 4i 4tX

distance Waff got the pass on the Eagle three and drove on into score Kniceley's extra point made it 14-0 in a situation which strangely resembled the Western Kentucky game in which the Bucs went out

10000-leet Breathitt Sports Center Stadium The game has been over about 1:45 minutes I sitting alone in a rather cluttered-up but quite nice press box No people are in the seats and I trust the fellow who locks up this departed Dusk is setting in and game between East nessee State University and Morehead is now history The Bucs went down to a 35-21 defeat at the hands of the Eagles and their very fine quarterback Mike Gottfned Gottfried aid about everything a man can do with a football here Saturday The 276 yards he passed and ran for werent as impressive as he did it The Eagle ace just fired away and had some glue-fingered pass receivers to la ch onto the aerials It was a fine display of offensive football and oi course the Bucs contributed pretty well to the total picture especially in rushing EasI Tennessee depending more and more upon freshman performers moved the ball well particularly in the first naif when they picked up 166 of their 207 yards rushing The last half was a different story The Bucs got only three first downs after picking up tea the first half Total offense for ETSU was only 48 yards the second half with the Bncs piling np 221 to the Eagles 238 in the first half Johnny punting was one of the brighter spots for the Bucs despite a 19 yarder average was 401 on seven punts For Morehead the running ability for Leon Wesley helped keep defense off balance Wesley gained 112 yards 23 carries Bonnie Lemmon led the Bucs with 84 yards followed by Meade with 28 Meade passed for 70 yards playing practically aU of the game with the exception of a few minutes in the final period when Walter Wolfe came in Die loss left ETSU with a 2-4-1 record with Austin Peay home Saturday and Middle Tennessee on the road November 13 the final two games i The Bucs are now 1-4 in the OVC Morehead win put It at 2-5 overall and 2-4 in the conference THE NEW MOREHEAD athletic plant like most of those in the progressive OVC is an expanding one At least this is so in the Kentucky portion of the OVC which is widely known for its sports establishments Morehead is a school of 4600 students and a city of 4000 but far out-strips Johnson City in its facilities for athletics Johnson City of course is a city of near 35000 with an ETSU stadium of just over 6000 seating capacity in a school be tter- than 8000 enrollment: Journeys to other points in the OVC indicate clearly that ETSU in Johnson City has a lot of catching up to do The track surrounding the football field here at Morehead Is an eight-lane and adjacent to the football field is a baseball field and a stadium seating nearly 2000 Of course ETSU is moving ahead in this direction with a baseball field and a new track under construction But overall the football and basketball facilities in the OVC just plainly outdo the Tennessee schools and particularly ETSU And that goes for press-boxes too $50000 three-level press box Is a fitting structure to go with its fine stadium Apparently the best way to get ahead In the game fast in the Tri-Cities area is to build a big ffolliseum for basketball and remodel Johnson Memorial Stadium to about 20000 seating capacity for football CHARLESTON VA somewhat similar to

emergency funds to meet current obligations according to George Rorrer writing in the Huntington Herald Dispatch Now they are planning a $50 a plate testimonial dinner for the Rockets to make some money to offset $17500 in bonuses promised players if they won their division title NEW ORLEANS (UPI) Vanderbilt used an iron-clad defense Saturday to scuttle hapless Tulane 13-0 in a Southeastern Conference football game The Commodores who entered the game as slight underdogs scored twice in the second quarter then held Tulane in check for the rest of the contest Steve Bevil a junior halfback took a punt from Dave East cut to the sidelines and scampered 67 yards for the first score of the game Toby Wilt missed the extra point Later in the second period Vandy marched 56 yards in 10 plays for its final touchdown Fullback Jim Whiteside cracked over from the two-yard line for the score and this time conversion kick was good Defense Good Vanderbilt boasting the top defensive teams in the SEC lived up to its reputation The Greenies were completely frustrated through the game in attempts to launch a drive before a homecoming crowd of 27000 Tulane quarterback Bobby Duhon who had only one pass intercepted before Saturday saw two of his aerials picked off by defensive back Bernie Kemble Duhon was shaken up in the second quarter and was replaced by Dave East who had no better luck
