Atlanta just tune- up for Player's U.S. Open plan

ATLANTA (AP) - South African Gary Player begins his second stay on the 1979 American tour today in the $300,000 Atlanta Golf Classic, but don’t blame him if his mind is elsewhere. “I’m just getting my game into shape for next week,” Player said Wednesday. “That’s the one I need for a second Grand Slam.” Player referred to the U.S. Open championship which begins at Toledo, Ohio, next Thursday an event he captured in 1965. He also has an overriding interest in the British Amateur championship currently under way at Southport, England, where son Wayne scored a 3 and 2 victory over Tony Smith of Great Britain in a secondround m|[tch Wednesday. makes my day,” PlayerOsaid wheji told his son’s scejfe. “Now he gets Dick Siderotfff in the third round.

probably playing right now because there’s five hours difference in the time.” The 17-year-old Wayne also disposed of Siderowf, a twotime British Amateur champion, 5 and 4. Player needs a second U.S. Open victory to complete what he calls his second Grand Slam, having already won at least twice in the other three events that are considered the four major tests of golf. He has won the Masters and British Open three times and the PGA twice. “I’m swinging quite nicely,” said the globe-trotting golfer w-ho owns 114 career victories. “I’ve had three seconds this year, all by one stroke. Sometimes you feel second isn’t good, but actually it is.” The Atlanta tourney, to be conducted over the hilly, 7,019yard Atlanta Country Club course, will be Player’s seventh this year in the United States. His best finish was a second in

the Greater Greensboro Open just before the Masters. Despite his limited schedule, he has won $43,532 on the PGA tour so far, 48th on this season’s money list. Player ranks among the favorites in the Atlanta field, with such perennial favorites as Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus bypassing Atlanta to get in practice sessions at the U.S. Open site. Three of this season’s double winners are in the field Masters champion Fuzzy Zoeller, Hubert Green and Lanny Wadkins. Jerry Heard is back to defend his crown, but isn’t regarded among the favorites. Veteran Hale Irwin, winless since 1977, won the Atlanta Classic in 1975 and 1977. Also in the field of 156 are Andy Bean, Ben Crenshaw, Johnny Miller, Ray Floyd, A 1 Geiberger and Jerry McGee, winner of last week’s tournament.

Rozelle's request chopped down

NEW YORK (AP) - National Football League coaches will be getting a letter from Commissioner Pete Rozelle shortly pointing out the dangers of the “chop block” and asking those who coach that manuever not to use it anymore. Rozelle had hoped to have something stronger to get the message across, such as a rule barring some forms of the chop block and a 15-yard penalty for offenders. Club owners were not willing to go that far, however, and the expected vote Wednesday to outlaw that block never materialized. The club presidents ended their two-day

meeting only recommending that the chop block not be used. “The commissioner is confident he can get the teams that are using it to stop coaching it,” said American Football Conference Public Relations Director Joe Browne of Rozelle’s letter-writing campaign. “And if they stop coaching it, the players will stop using it.” The chop block, a relatively recent innovation, is blamed for an increase in leg and knee injuries to defensive linemen. The manuever involves the use of two offensive players. Usually an offensive lineman at least partially engages an on-rushing

defensive player, then an offensive back comes from the side and hits the defensive player low, around the knees. Those who opposed a rule outlawing that manuever held it would be too difficult for officials to decide between a chop block and a double team block, which was not at issue. The key would be whether the rusher was engaged by the offensive lineman or whether he was breaking free when he was hit low by the second player. If he were at least partially engaged by the first player, it would be a chop block. “It was felt it would put too

much added pressure on the officiating,” said Browne. “Secondly,” Browne said, “there was a question of how a rule against the chop block might affect the overall protection of the quarterback. If you’re not letting that back block low, in effect, you are taking away some of the quarterback’s protection. In most cases, the quarterback is the most valuable player on the team, and some clubs felt they wanted to give the quarterback the most protection they can.” The effectiveness of Rozelle’s letters will not be known at least until the exhibition games, but

the owners apparently think the coaches will go along with a voluntary ban. If they don’t, “we would express our concern,” said NF-L‘ Executive Director Don Weiss’- ’ The meeting marked the first for Georgia Rosenbloom aspresident of the Los Angeles Rams since she succeeded her late husband, Carroll. Asked about her contribution’ to the session, Rozelle said, “In addition to adding attract- 1 iveness, her presence put a rem on (Philadelphia Eagles Presi 1 ' dent) Leonard Tose’s lan-' 1 guage.”
