Each ranks high on the list of those most likely to succeed in the 66th PGA that begins Thursday on the Shoal Creek Club course, a new, JackNicklaus- designed layout in suburban Birmingham that is being played in professional competition for the first time.

On the surface, Ballesteros would appear to be the principal threat. He acquired his second British Open title last month in a dramatic last- round showdown with Tom Watson. That, however, came after a deeply frustrating non-productive five months on the American tour During that period, Ballesteros said he became homesick for Europe. Although he has been careful to be complimentary of the United States and of the American tour in he has declined to say basis next U1 C0mpeie ln thls countr on a regular' In fact, on his return to the United States, in the Buick Open last week, he failed to qualify for the Unal rounds and conies into the PGA off a downer.

(AP) The Dallas Cowboys finished their last training-camp practice Tuesday in preparation for Thursday's National Football League exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The big news out of the camp is that with challenger Gary Hogeboom injured, Dallas players are indicating support for quarterback incumbent Dan- White. Hogeboom, who hyperextend- ed his elbow during the Cowboys' exhibition game against the San Diego Chargers Saturday, could be back in action for the team's final preseason contest against the Houston Oilers on Aug. 25. On Tuesday, the Cowboys released second-year tight end Cleo Simmons of Jackson State, rookie free agent wide receiver Larry demons of Oregon State and placed rookie free agent defensive tackle Chris Arendt of Duke on injured reserve.

Those moves reduced the team's roster to 70 players, just in time to meet the NFL's roster- trimming deadline. The Cowboys went through their final practice of training camp Tuesday afternoon, and planned to leave for Dallas this morning. They play the Steelers Thursday night in Texas Stadium in a preseason game. In a poll conducted by the the Dallas Morning News in May, a majority of the players said they wanted Hogeboom tc start. But now, players are supporting White.

"I don't think there will be any problems," running back Tony Dorsett said. "We are in this business to win and Danny is our quarterback." Dorsett said much of the quarterback squabble in the spring had been over players thinking out loud.

"We got one quarterback. We have to support the guy in there. How would he feel if nobody is behind him? He would feel worthless to the team. A lot of players have confidence in Danny. We would have confidence in anybody that was back there.
