Gajda Surprise Leader In U. 5. Open Tourney RRflOKLiNE. Mass. (UPI1 Bob Gajda, who decided to be come a professional after be won a caddy championship and hasn't won anything since, led the field into the second round of the U.S. Open golf championship today ahead of such favorites as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Gajda, a perennial also - ran, surprised everyone, including himself, when he shot a two-un-der-par 89 over the exacting Country Club course of Brookline to take the first round lead by one stroke over Jacky Cupit. They were the only players in the star-studded field of 150 who were able to break Brookline'a par of 35-36-71. Ont of the reasons was that they were able to play the treacherous back nine better than most of the others. A lot of them faltered in that 3,645-yard stretch of a course which most of the field considers one of the worst layout! on which the Open ever has been played. Palmer Cards 7J ' Palmer, whose driving, ap proaching and putting was off, carded a two-over-par 73, Nick laus soared to a 76 while Player had a 74. Two strokes off Gajda' j pace, with even par 71's, were two of the pre-tourney favorites Tony Lema and Julius Boros along with 28-yearold Dave Love and former PGA champion Lionel He bert. At 72 came former Walter Bur kemo, Don January, Paul Kelly and Dean Refram. In the 73 1ViO BY ROY YOUNG Play it safe with a Theft In surance policy.

OR 3-6671 bracket with Palmer were Dow Finslerwald, Al Balding, former British Amateur champion Rich ard Davies, Billy Maxwell, Dow Finslerwald, Jay Hebert, Tommy Jacobs, Art Wall, Bill Ogden, Bob Harris and Stan Thirsk. Former Open champions Ed Furgol and Sick Mayer were among those at 74 along with the 50-year-old Sam Snead, trying for the 24th time to win this biggest one and the only major one he never has won. Face Cut Taday But it looked like there would be a lot of casualties because of that exacting back nine with the field to be cut to the tew 50 and ties after today's second round. In jeopardy were such as for mer U. S. Open king Cary Mid dlecoff with 80, Chick Harbert and Bob Rosburg with 81, Stan Leonard with an 82 and a host of others. In all of their cases, it was the back-breaking back nine which they couldn't over come. The weather didn't help, either. Gajda played under the best con ditions, teeing off early when there was mostly sunshine. After he finished, the sky became over cast, the winds became stronger up to 30 miles an hour and there was light rain. But a lot of those who didn't score as well as anticipated blamed only themselves. "I was trying to pin point my drives and was just little off line on some of them," said Nicklaus. Oiuatiifiad With Putting Palmer asserted he didn't play badly if "some of my putts would have dropped." Lema said it took him five hours about as hour over the average in former Open tourna ments to play the course "be cause you have to find the ball before you can hit it. He was referring to the deep rough. But Gajda found everything just fine. The pro from Bloomfield Hills, Mich., had three birdies and only one bogey in carding bis 35-34 69. Gajda had II straight pars be fore be strayed from regulation figures when he bogeyed the 12th, where "I hit a wonderful drive but my ball picked up chunk of mud and it kept me from hit ting my approach shot right." But that was the only hole on which he made a mistake. He sank putts of IS, 39 and 15 feet on the 14th, 16th and 17th holes, respectively, for birdies. WORKING out on his timing on hondoffs is quarterback Doryle Lamonico, former Notre Dome sfor. He is shown in training with David Fronds, grid great from Ohio Stole.
