Marks fall in British open

CARNOUSTIE, Scot-
land AP) - David Huish, a 31-
year-old Scottish golf pro who
prefers teaching to tourna-
ments, showed the world's top
stars how to play yesterday
when he fired a 67 for a two-
stroke lead after the second
round of the British Open golf
championship.
Although Huish took total
scoring honors with an eight-
unrer-par 136, Bobby Cole of
South Africa led a vicious as-
sault on the Carnoustie course
with a record round of 66.
Three other slayers-Tom
Watson, Australia's Graham
Marsh and Britain's Bernard
Gallncher - also bettered the
mark of 68 set by Ben Bogan
when he won the Open 22
years ago. The record had
been matched only twice
since, the last time on
Wednesday by first - round
lender Pete' Oosterhuis.
Cole and Watson, a regular
on the United States circuit
playing golf in Britian for the
first time, were among four
players lying two strokes back
of Huish. The others were An-
dries Oosthuizen of South Af-
rica, who had a second-round
69, and Oosterhuis, who at one
time was 10 under par but bo-
geyed four of the last six holes.
Marsh and Gallacher were in
a group at 139 which included
former U. S. Open champion
hale Irwin and John Mahaffey.
Jack Nicklaus and his chief
rival, Johnny Miller, were in
god position at 140. Nicklaus,
seeking his third British Open

run king Hank Aaron headed a
list of 12 players selected by
Oakland Manager Alvin Dark
yesterday to complete the
American League All Star
team for next Tuesday night's
game against the National
league in Milwaukee's County
Stadium.
AARON and first baseman
George Scott will represent the
host Brewers. Besides those
two sluggers, Dark's bench will

Texas first baseman Mike

They will back up a starting
lineup that is dominated by the
Oakland A's and New York
Yankees, who took seven of the
eight starting berths. Minnesota
second baseman Rod Carew,
who led all player with 3,165,-

crown, had a 71 and Miller a
69.
The sight of a Scot leading
the British Open was a rare
one for the 16,000 gleeful
spectators who swarmed over
the famous links besides the
North Sea. The last Scottish-
born player to win the title
was Tommy Armour in 1931,
but he competed as an Ameri-
can citizen.
The Barry Burn, which winds
in and out across the 18th fair-
way and has terrorized golfers
for generations, was tamed by
some bit still claimed its fair
share of victims.
Mahaffev hit his second shot,
n fanr-wood, into the water and
siasiled his roind with a double-
hboev six.
"I hit it too low and it caught
ono of the mramnds in front of
gy." Mahaffev said. "That
killed it, and it rolled into the
bore."
The stream also grabbed
Gary Player, the defending
champion from South Africa.
Player went into the burn at
the 18th for the second
straight day and finished the
second day at 146, 10 strokes
back of the leader.
Nicklaus fell foul of the
stream too, at the sixth hole.
He chopped a seven-iron out of
rough, hit too far to the left
and the ball plopped into the
water. He took a bogey six.
"You can credit that to stu-
pidity, or to lack of knowledge
of thecourse," said Nicklaus,
who started the tournament as
the overwhelming favorite.

AUSTRALIA'S Graham Marsh attempts a putt during yesterday's British Open. Marsh fired a
"then" course record of 67 putting him at 139 for two rounds, but Bobby Cole of South Africa later
went one better with a 66. Scotsman David Huish leads at Carnoustie with a two day total of 136
which is eight under par.
