Four shots back was Fuzzy Zoeller, who carded a 68. At five-under 211, six shots off the pace, were Tom Weiskopf and Bob Murphy.

Nicklaus wasn't sure what would be required of him today to maintain his lead and pocket the $50,000 top prize. "I might shoot a 69 tomorrow and win the tournament by five shots." he said. "Then again, I might shoot a 69 and have three guys beat me." Nicklaus started out his round with a bogey five and playing partner Ray Floyd scored a birdie on the first hole to move within two shots of the lead. But Nicklaus had no more bogeys and Floyd N.M., who regained her players' card at this same course earlier this month. She shot her second 71.

Kathy Martin of Thousand Oaks, Calif, was three behind after a 71. Rankin, who made nine birdies in a spectacular putting Friday, sank only one short birdie putt and had four bogies and one double bogey Saturday. "I was such a dummy," she said. "I made a lot of bad decisions today. I mis-clubbed myself at least four times, and I started second-guessing myself.

No doubt about it, I beat myself." Referring to her first round, which was only a stroke off the all-time LPGA record, she noted, "I guess I created a monster for myself." Stone made just two birdies and one-bogey. "I didn't really do anything," she said. "Judy just came back to us. She's human just like the rest of us." Play was suspended on four holes for about 30 minutes in mid-afternoon as nearly a dozen bullets whistled past veteran pro Marilynn Smith of Dallas, and hit the ground next to a spectator and a scorekeeper. The bullets were fired by a man who was taking target practice at his nearby home, unaware that his bullets were carrying to the golf course.

"Today I played better and more poised than the other two days. I just didn't make as many putts," said Nicklaus, who had earlier rounds of 70 and 66. "I made a six-foot putt today and that was it." His bogey on No. 1 came after he caught a bunker with his drive. Morgan, 29, who has never won since joining the tour in 1973 but ranked 42nd in earnings last year with $61,372, had seven birdies in an errorless round.

Defensive backs aide hired by Lions DETROIT (AP) Detroit Lions Coach Tommy Hudspeth said Saturday he has added Burnie Miller to his staff as defensive backs coach for the National Football League club's 1977 season. Miller, 48, has been coaching for 23 years 16 as a college coach, three years in the military and four in the pros.

Last season, Miller was defensive backfield coach at Southern Methodist University. anyway Laz sets ini in CHAMPAIGN (UPI) Illinois' Doug Laz soared 17 feet inches Saturday to set a Big Ten pole vault record at the 4th Annual Mini-United States Track and Field Federation Classic. Laz broke the old mark pf 17 feet, set by Bob Criets of Indiana earlier this year. Laz' previous high this season was 16 feet 9 inches. Illinois State University brought a small squad, but managed to crack two school records.

shot admitting he had his work cut out today. "You just have to play your game," said Morgan, admitting that he could be more nervous than normal with Nicklaus as his rival. "You shoot even par the last day and five or six guys can go by you," said Morgan of his need for a strong finish. Morgan, who has won $15,000 already, this year, drew attention last year with rounds of 66 and 68 which gave him a four-shot lead halfway through the PGA Championship. But he faded to 75s on the final two days to tie for eighth.

Player had only one bogey in his round and said, "The most amazing thing is the best round of the three days was the 73 I had Friday." He said he had "mental blackout" on the 198-yard par-3 third hole Friday which left him with a double bogey. He said he could have moved the ball out of the water but instead took three swings to advance. Player is seven over par in the tournament on the four par-three holes on the course.

Gilmore, who scored 14 of his points in the second half, and Johnson, who had 14 of his in the final two periods, sparked the Bulls to an eight-point spurt. The outburst saw Chicago jump from an 86-86 tie to a 94-86 edge with 2:48 remaining. That surge spoiled Cleveland's own burst, which brought the Cavaliers from an 80-73 deficit at the beginning of the fourth period to an 84-80 lead. Chicago guard Norm Van Lier scored eight of his 11 points in the final minutes of play, including six straight free throws to preserve the Bulls' lead. Cleveland was led by Bobby Smith with 23 points, and Campy Russell with 16.

The loss kept intact the Cavaliers' record of not having won two games in a row since the first week of January. The Bulls' victory was only their sixth in 31 road games this season. conference.

Lee spent much of the first half on the bench, but Hall said that was merely to let Lavon Williams use his speed and defense against the Tide. Lee sparked a spurt early in the second half that sent the Wildcats ahead by 12, and they were never really threatened after that.

Earlier in the game. Hall said, "We were tense. Every time we threw the ball up. it seemed like it just sailed off into space. "I think it was being on television that it." Hall added.

"We played hard for the entire game that was the story," Hall said. "We were aggressive all the way.".
