Show Wednesday, June 22, 1977 Page 9 HPORTS REPORT By Brown Golf Even though Hubert Green has acquired 11 tour titles during his years as a professional golfer, he has been quoted as saying, "I'm not a great player. You can't be a great player if you don't win in the majors." Well, as of late Sunday afternoon, Hubie has a justified claim to being one of the great players on the tour today as he won the world's most prestigious golf tournament, the United States Open golf tournament played in Tulsa. Green, who led or shared the lead all the way, turned back the last of many challenges with a four foot bogey putt on the final hole to complete the 72 holes with a two under par 278. Lou Graham, the 1975 Open champion, made the last big challenge with three consecutive birdies but fell one stroke short as he finished with a 72 hole total of 279. Richer by $45,000, Green called the victory, "My personal lifetime ambition." In the LPGA, Judy Rankin shook off a double bogey on the first hole Sunday and beat Jane Blulock by two strokes to win the 23rd Ladies Professional Golf Ass'n championship of her 15 year career. The 32 year old Texan shot a four under par 212 total as she took home the first place prize money of $7,500. Tennis Raul Ramirez of Mexico, seeded seventh for the upcoming Wimbledon Tournament, gave himself a moral and financial boost in winning the $100,000 Rawlings International Tournament. In beating Britain no. 1 player Mark Cox 9-7, 7-5, Ramirez goes into the upcoming tournament on a winning note as well as being $13,600 richer. For the world's top players, who are used to playing on clay these days, the Rawlings was the last chance for them to get their grass games up to par. Other Wimbledon seed participating at Queen's were'.Guillermo Vitas of Argentina, America's Roscoe Tanner, Brian Gottfried, Bob Lutz, Stan Smith and Dick Stockton as well as Romania's IlieJNastase,, r;iT;he Jwo top.!iittenliere absent from playf Jirrimy 'Connors, r the ho' 1 top seed at Wimbledon, was there but had to pull out after his first round match with a badly bruised thumb on his left hand. Connors, of course, plays tennis left handed. The other big name, last year's winner Bjorn Borg, decided to do his workouts for grass in private surroundings. One further not on Jimmy Connors in respect to his injured thumb. Wimbledon tournament referee Fred Hoyles has allowed a 24 hour postponement of Connor's first round match against Britain's Richard Lewis. He allowed the postponement due to the fact that Connor's is having treatment and a splint that will allow him to grip the racquet properly will not be ready on time. Baseball The big news in baseball this week, other than Saturday's televised near-brawl involving the pugnacious Yankee manager Billy Martin and the overrated, over paid Reggie Jackson, was the track between the New York Mets and the Cincinnati Reds where the Mets sent the disgruntled Tom Seaver to the pitcher hungry Reds. The team to feel the brunt of this trade is not the lowly Mets but the division lead ing L.A. Dodgers who at one time this season were leading the Reds by 13 comfortable games. Due to the Red's hottest streak of the year and the Dodger's relatively lackadaisical play, that : i.ui. i I i t seeminiy lnsurrnuuiuauit: ieau lias uwmuicu tu 6V2 games even before the services of Seaver can really be felt.

Elsewhere in the majors, the surprising Chicago Cubs have pulled 5V2 games out in front of Philadelphia, while in the American League it is Boston 2 14 games in front of Baltimore and Chicago, leading Minnesota by mere percentage points. In collegiate baseball, Arizona State defeated the Gamecocks of South Carolina 2-1 in pitchers duel to win the championship of the 31st College World Series. Top rank Arizona State, with a record of 57-12, earned its fourth series crown it's first since 1969. Previous ASU titles came in 1965, 1967 and 1969, all under Bobby Winlke's, now manager of the Oakland A's. South Carolina, 43-12-1, lost both of its series games to Arizona St., after winning its first three games. The Gamecocks finished second for the second time in three years. P. C. Ruggers Muck Up Bald ML Club Mucker Tony Flannery smiles (?) as Bald Mt. rugger goes for the neck. Photo: Craig Reese by Alamo Bald Mountain Rugby Club came to town Saturday with what might be considered, in retrospect, a highly everated side. The Idaho club, holding a 3-1 edge against the Park City Muckers over the past four years, wilted in the second half against the home side's tackling and rucking, the final tally: Park City 34. Bald Mountain 0. From the opening whistle. Park City pressure-pinned the visitors deep in their own end. Only seconds into the contest Park City Outside Centre Don Sturges capitalized capital-ized on a poor Bald Mountain clearing attempt and took the ball across in the corner. Shortly after the kickoff. Park City again threatened the opposition try line, Bald Mountain repeatedly denying deny-ing a second score with some determined tackling of their own. Sturges once again proved to be the scourge of the Ketchum side, as he took an errant kick on the fly and looped with John Rusconi for PARK CITY MEN'S SLOWPITCH Wed.j June 15 Sirloin Saloon 18 Alamo Saloon 17 C.R.

Bill Hart failed on his two attempts to convert the goal after each of Sturges' trys and the score at halftime remained eight to nil. Bald Mountain gamely held on through a good portion of the second half, bending but not breaking against continued contin-ued Park City onslaught. When John Sundquist came steaming through on a Fullback pocket, he applied the fatal straw as he dotted down near the posts. Bald Mountain was finished at this point; they allowed late-game trys to Allen Terry (two). Rocky Collins and Rusconi. It must be recognized that the Idaho club was hindered by the long drive from Ketchum on Saturday, the heat of the day compounding their weariness created by the seven-hour trek. A more valid judgment of the Bald Mountain side will be reserved reserv-ed until after the return engagement in Ketchum this Saturdav.

To the credit of the Muckers: Muck-ers: they maintained a high degree of excellence in their tackling and rucking, completely com-pletely handcuffing the Ketchum Ket-chum side by denying them any significant portion of the ball. Only some wiley play by Bald Mountain in the set of scrummages allowed them to see the ball at all on this day. The Park City side was bolstered by the addition of three new members. Jeff Carter propped the loose head side, John Upton started start-ed the game second row and moved to number eight in the second half, and Al Stilleto played the final forty minutes minut-es at second row. The Muckers are newly embarked on an ambitious summer schedule which sees them playing every weekend through August 6. Following this weekend's engagement in Ketchum comes the traditional tradi-tional match with the Dead Goat on July 2nd and the Ski Town Tournament in Vail on Julv 9.
