favorite Jimmy Connors of Belleville, Ill.,
was beaten in the quarter-finals of the
$108,000 John Player Tennis Champion-
ship yesterday as two other seeds also
fell by the wayside.
The top-seeded Connors was defeated,
7-5, 6-3, by Roscoe Tanner of Lookout
aountain, Tenn., as players struggled to
familiarize themselves with grass courts
again.
Also out of contention after the quar-
ter-finals were Guilermo Vilas of Ar-
gentina and Arthur Ashe of Richmond,
Va., seeded No. 2 and 3 here.
Vilas seemed troubled by the grass
court and he went down, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, to
Australian Phil Dent.
Ashe was topled, 6-3, 6-4, by Aus-
tralian veteran Tony Roche, who now
meets Tanner in Friday's semifinals.

ketball Association Denver Nuggets be-
cause he was not pleased with Atlanta

In officially announcing the signing of
the pact with Denver at a news confer-

that was already successful also was a
factor
U.S. Open-opens
MEDINAH, Ill. - Pat Fitzsimons scor-
ed an ace and tied Tom Watson for the
lead at four-under-par 67 while the heav-
ily favored Jack Nicklaus struggled to a
72 yesterday early in the first round
of the 75th United States Open G olf
Championship.
Fitzsimons, a lightly-considered long-

shot in a field of the world's best shot-
makers, scored his first competitive hole
in one on the second hole, needed only
four putts on the first five holes and
scrambled home over the wet and sog-
gy, 7,032-yard Medinah Country Club
course.
Watson, who held the lead after 54 holes
of this championship last season then
blew it in the final round, birdied two of
his last three holes in muggy, steamy
heat to gain a share of the lead.

Steeler's sign Greenwood
PITTSBURGH - Defensive end L. C.

layer's
Greenwood signed a multi-year contract
with the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday
ending speculation that he might join
another football team.
Greenwood, a free agent since May I
after playing out the option year of his
contract with the Steelers, had signed a
contract with the Birmingham Ameri-
cans of the World Football League.
But the Americans failed to fulfill con-
tractual obligations and eventually fold-
ed. That opened the way for the 6-foot-
6, 245-pound All Pro to return to the
World Champion Steelers.

SAN DIEGO - John Wooden says he
is definitely not going to coach the San
Diego entry in the American Basketball
Asociation or any other profesional team.
"I wouldn't like all the travel, but
more important, I object to the pros' way
of life," Wooden said in an interview
yesterday.
