Jack Nicklaus was but a shadow of the man who had won -
the last two British Opens played at St. Andrews and came in
seeking a further addition to his record collection of 17 major

Tom Watson, who has used spectacular success in this
event as the cornerstone to his domination of the game in

"It's an adequate start; 71 is a good score at St. Andrews,"
said Watson, who has won the last two British Opens, five
overall, and is attempting tomatch Harry Vardon's record
total of six British Open titles.
Andretti grabs pole in Michigan 500
BROOKLYN (AP) - Mario Andretti, turning a blazing lap
at 211.088 mph, nipped favorite Tom Sneva yesterday to win;
the pole position for Sunday's Michigan 500 Indy-car race.
Andretti, driving a Cosworth powered Lola t-800, sizzled
around the two-mile, high banked oval at Michigan Inter-
national Speedway in an elapsed time of 34.109 seconds.
THAT QUICK lap by the Budweiser sponsored car of actor
Paul Newman and Chicago businessman Carl Haas was six-;
hundreths of a second quicker than the fast lap turned in by
Sneva in his March Cosworth race car.
Sneva, clocked at 211.051 mph on his qualifying run, had.
recorded a lap of 211.9 in the morning practice session.

reach deal
with CBS
NEW YORK (AP) - In the first
network agreement since the U.S.
Supreme Court invalidated the
NCAA's college football television
contract, CBS announced yesterday
that it has agreed to televise a
minimum of 10 college football
games this fall involving teams from
the Big Ten and Pacific Ten Con-
ferences.
But negotiations continued for the
larger slice of the college football
pie, whose television rights are held
by the 63-member College Football
Association.
CBS, WHICH with ABC continued
to negotiate with the CFA, said it
had reached agreement with the two
conferences to televise a total of 14
games on which would be shown to a
divided nation. The network said the
agreement does not affect the two
games it has already committed to
- Boston College-Miami and Army-
Navy.
CBS did not announce its schedule,
and said the schools were still
negotiating over the sticky issue of
"crossover games" - games that
might involve a Big Ten or Pac-10
team against a member of the CFA.
Sources said the network paid $8
million for the rights, far less than
the $34.5 million that CBS and ABC
had agreed to pay the NCAA under
the old contract that was thrown out
when the Supreme Court upheld
earlier this month a lower court
ruling declaring that the NCAA's ex-
clusive hold on bargaining rights
violated antitrust laws.
NEAL PILSON, the president of
CBS sports, said that in the new lais-
sez-faire climate, which allows
schools and conferences to make
deals independent of any central
authority, the network was not
prepared to make the commit-
tment it had under the old contract
with the NCAA. He said CBS had
rejected a CFA plan that called for
televising between 55-60 games on a
regional basis on Saturday after-
noons.
"The Network's role in the new
marketplace is broadcasting a
minimum number of games of
national importance."
ABC was taking the same positon.
A network source, who declined to
be indentified, said whatever fee
would be paid for the rights would
also be far less than that $34 million
figure.
"We lost money last year," the
sourced said. "We've made it quite
clear that we will not lose money this
year."
One reason the networks are
reluctant to spend as much as in the
past is the loss of their exclusivity,'
which allows a full Saturday of
college football and allows local
telecasts that might be more attrac-
tive than the games the networks
are showing.
