British Open Huish leads after second CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) David Huish, a 31-year-old Scottish golf pro who prefers teaching to tournaments, 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 under-par 136, Bobby Cole of South Africa led a vicious assault on the Carnoustie course with a record round of 66. Three other players—Tom Watson, Australia's Graham Marsh and Britain’s Bernard Gallacher—also bettered the mark of 68 set by Ben Hogan when he won the Open 22 years ago. The record had been matched only twice since, the last time on Wednesday by first-round leader Peter Oosterhuis. Cole and Watson, a regular on the United States circuit playing golf in Britain for the first time, were among four players lying two strokes back of Huish. The others were An dries Oosthuizen of South Africa, who had a second-round 69, and Oosterhuis, who at one time was 10 under par but bogeyed four of the last six holes. touching the gates and these fact, this year the national penalties are added to the race trials were held in Penn time to compute the score. sylvania, on the Youghegeny John Sweet, faculty advisor River in Ohiopyle.

The last Scottish-born player to win the title was Tommy Armour in 1931, but he competed as an American citizen. The Barry Burn, which winds in and out across the 18th fair way and has terrorized golfers for generations, was tamed by some but still claimed its fair share of victims. Mahaffey hit his second shot, a four-wood, into the water and spoiled his round with a double-bogey six. The stream also grabbed Gary Player, the defending cham pion 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. t presentation Jr %, TIMOTHY 00170/5 • LINDSAY VAGNER ■ JOHN HOUSEMAN /THE PAPER CHASE" Jf«STPiuuHE% THOMPSON «rvOCXUCK PAUL DAIDGES \£ ■ ~%-.o.JAMES BRIDGES irt-rtJOHN JAY OSOORN JR. •**< »,JOHN WILLIAMS L” 1 " 11 * 1 At >fl M«>| k m<nA»ll»t'Su«t OnCwxy THURS-SUNDAY FUB REC ROOM Kansas City STAR-“Schlockmeister!” “Meyer ...
