Championship.
It just may be the edge he needs.
Ben Crenshaw, one of Trevino's
American playmates who refused to
back off, hinted it may be.
"I THINK LEE'S playing the best of
his'life," Crenshaw said. "He's full of
confidence, and he's the greatest front-
runner in the world."
Ken Brown, the slender, soft-spoken
British Ryder Cup player who was one
of the few non-Americans among the
leaders, certainly didn't count himself
a challenger despite his lofty spot in a
tie for second at 138 with Tom Watson
and Jerry Pate.
"A three-stroke difference is miles
and miles," Brown said. "It's even
more when the man in front is a better
player than you are. My hopes of win-
ning are pie in the sky."
TREVINO, WITH a 7-under-par 135
total for two trips over Muirfield's win-
dswept links, obviously thought so, too.
"I figure I need to get 10 under to
win," he said. "I'm seven under. I need
to shoot 69, 70. And if that isn't good
enough to win the 109th championship,
well, I guess I'll just have to come back
next year and try again."
Watson, who shared the first-round
lead with Trevino, struggled most of the
day. He boged two of the par-5 holes on
the way to a 70. Pate, a former U.S.
Open champion who hasn't won in
almost two years, counted an eagle-3 on
his way to a67. Brown had a 68.
EVEN WATSON, the game's out-
standing player for 3% seasons, and the
mighty Jack Nicklaus agreed that
Trevino's lead will be difficult to over-
come.
"He's going to be a hard man to catch
on this golf course," Watson said. "He's
playing well, and he's not making any
mistakes. It's going to takea superb ef-
fort to catch him."
There will be a late registration
session at the University's Sports
Coliseum next Monday at 11:30 for
those interested in participating in a
basketball camp.
The camp, which runs from 12:15 to
4:00 Monday through Friday this
coming week, is open to boys and girls
ages 8to 18. Instruction will be provided
on the fundamentals and rules of
basketball, as well as information on
the cardio-vascular system and weight
training.
The camp's staff consists of players
from Michigan, Michigan State,
Western Michigan, Harvard, and
Massachusetts. Guest speakers include
ex-Detroit Piston stars Dave Bing and
Bob Lanier, Toledo head coach Bobby
Nichols, and the Pistons' Phil Hubbard.

NICKLAUS, WHO WON the U.S.
Open title last month, matched'
Trevino's 67, despite a deeply-
frustrating finish that included a bogey
on No. 18. He was one of six tied for fifth
at 140, five shots back.
Also at that figure were Australian
Open champion Jack Newton, defen-
ding titleholder Seve Bllesteros of Spain
and American stars Crenshaw, Dr. Gil
Morgan and Andy Bean.
Ballesteros, still pleading he has no
confidence and isn't feeling or playing
well, managed to sink a 20-foot putt for
an eagle and shoot a 68. Crenshaw also
had an eagle-3 in his round of 70 and
Bean had another in his 69. Morgan shot
a 70 and Newton matched par 71.
No one else was within six shots.
THE WEATHER WAS much better
than the squally conditions that raked
Thursday's play with wind, rain and
cold.
"The conditions were a lot easier,"
Trevino said. "It was still chilly and
there was some wind, but it wasn't as
cold and there wasn't any rain."
The scores showed the improvement
in the playing conditions.
A major exhibit was the course-
record 7-under-par 64 by Argentine
longshot Horacio Carbonetti. He opened
with a 78 and was at par 142.

HAMMERIN' HANK HOSPITALIZED:
Legend 'Shug' dies of leukemia

By The Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala.-Ralph "Shug" Jordan, the gentlemanly
Auburn coach who became one of Dixie football's legends,
will be buried Friday at Auburn, where he carved a quarter
century of gridiron success.
Jordan, 69, died Thursday at home of acute leukemia.
Jordan, who retired in 1975 after 25 seasons at the helm of
the Tigers, had been in failing health due to leukemia for
about four months. Heart difficulties had occurred during
that time also.
"While the death of Coach Jordan was not unexpected, it
leaves us all very much saddened," said Harry Philpott, who
recently retired as Auburn president. "A great coach, a great
Auburnite and a great gentleman has passed away."
"He will be held eternally in the memory of those who
know Auburn as one who made tremendous contributions to
its advancement in all areas," said Philpott.
Tributes poured in from athletes, coaches, friends.
Among them were Gov. Fob James, who was a star running
back for Jordan in 1953-55, and long-time cross-state rival
Paul "Bear" Bryant of the University of Alabama.
Jordan was remembered as an always-tough competitor
on the field but a courtly, colorful, warm and generous man
away from the gridiron.
He compiled a record of 175-83-7 during his 25 campaigns
as head coach and, in 1957, led his Tigers to the national
championship.
A native of Selma, Jordan was a three-sports star at
Auburn when he graduated in 1932.
He stayed on the next year-the year the Southeastern
Conference was formed-working as an athletic assistant.,
Be held that post for 12 years, serving for a time as Auburn's

basketball coach.
After a military tour during World War II and a brief stint
back at Auburn, he joined the staff at the University of
Georgia, where he served for four years.
Then, in 1951, the call came from his alma mater. He was
named head football coach of an Auburn team that had lost
all 10 games the year before.
In short order, he turned it around.
Over his quarter century career as head coach, Auburn
became a consistent Top Ten contender, going to 12
postseason bowl games and piling up winning records despite
two bitter periods of NCAA probation.
Aaron complains of leg pains
ATLANTA-Hank Aaron, baseball's all-time home run
king, was reported in satisfactory condition Friday in an
Atlanta hospital where he was undergoing tests to determine
the cause of pain in his right leg.
The 46-year-old Aaron, now a vice president and director
of player personnel for the Atlanta Braves, was admitted to
the hospital Thursday after experiencing severe pain in his
right leg.
"It had been giving me some trouble so I just checked in
... for some tests," Aaron said. "Right now, we don't know
whether I need to have an operation. The diagnosis now is
that it's a pinched sciatic nerve. It's been bothering me for
the last two months."
Aaron was hospitalized for the same ailment in early
June.
Aaron joined the Braves management in 1976 after he
broke Babe Ruth's home run record to become baseball's all-
time home run leader with a career total of 755.
