ILLINOIS. Honest Abe sits somber and silent in a high-back chair, rises, bows, and delivers a 10-min. oration. Disney's Lincoln is a little stolid, but then he is stuffed with things like steel, air tubes and hydraulic valves...

Short-tacking furiously for the last 20 miles, Burgoo crossed the finish line in 109th position-almost 20 hrs. behind the scratch boat, Cornelius Bruynzeel's 73-ft.

At week's end, once again at the top of his game, Lema knocked in six straight birdies in Michigan's Buick Open, had a two-stroke lead at the end of 54 holes...
