ous Merion Golf Club course, a
tiny terror of only 6,544 yards
but featuring knee-deep rough
and scores of distinctive white-
sand traps, caught up with both
of them.
Jack Nicklaus, a heavy favor-
ite to make this his third Na-
tional Open crown, Jim Colbert,
a one-time football player at
Kansas State, and former PGA
champion Bobby Nichols, were
tied at 69.
"I felt like I played a heck of
a lot better than 69," Nicklaus
said. "From where I hit it, it
could have been a lot better-
66 or 67.
Lee Trevino, a two-time win-
ner this season and second to
Nicklaus on the money-winning
list, knocked in a 30-foot putt
on the final hole for a 70.
He headed a big group tied at
that figure, among them Mas-
ters champion Charles Coody,
Tomn Weiskopf and rookie pro
Ralph Johnston, the first man
off the tee who had a remark-M
able round of seven birdies, five
bogeys and a double bogey.
Some of the great stars of the
game had their problems on the
warm and sunny day, however,
and South African Gary Player
was the victim of a couple of
hecklers on the 16th and 17th
holes.
Arnold Palmer, the 41-year-
old all-time leading money win-
ner, was disappointed after tak-
ing a 73. Billy Casper, a two-
time winner of this title, Na-
tional Senior champion Julius
Boros and veteran Gene Littler
all had 74s.

player, Joe Johnson of Detroit

Johnson, a 6-0, 150 pound,

mate of Lindsay Hairston, con-

Kettering team that captured
the state championship.

Campy Russell, another Mich-

Orr says Johnson, who has
"great hands, plays excellently,
is a fine ball-handler," and will
be counted on to "set up the
big men."
