"We got the momentum. going and Art kept rolling in those putts (the birdies on eight, nine and 10) and we went right on by them.
We played partnership as well as any team can play partnership," Bolt said. Wall, always underplaying his own ability, made 13 of the team's 25 birdies during the 54-hole event. But he credited a tactical move as helping his Watson (Cont. From Page 4-B) and 8 feet on the 14th, 15th and 16th holes and missed all of them. "I've been putting like that all year," Nelson said.
"Coming down the stretch, I would have had a chance if I had made any kind of putts at all. I made one putt outside of 10 feet this week and Watson won by four Watson's putting bordered two home runs and George Brown and Richard Harris, one apiece, to lead Watkins to a 20-4 romp In the 'championship game. Pitcher Mike Fulp topped the winners at the plate in the tournament with 11 hits in 14- at bats.

"We will be playing in a remained optimistic while his team. trailed badly in the third quarter. "I knew it," Westhead said. "I just knew we were going to come back. Once you get a few baskets, you feel like digging in on defense.
I just told the players, 'Get on your team to victory. "We've found that the best policy is to let Tom do everything first," said Wall. "I want him to shoot off the tee first and putt first and do everything first. "Tom is a much better player than I am to start with, and since he is that much better a shotmaker he is going to have a -little bit more freedom to make the shot if he knows he has somebody else shooting after him. If I miss a green, for instance, that would put more pressure on him.
And normally he doesn't miss many shots. We both agree that is the best way, to handle the whole on phenomenal. He averaged slightly more than 26 putts during his first three rounds and used a 40-footer for a birdie on the 10th hole Sunday to steady himself after a costly double-bogey on the par-3 eighth. "I was just holding on," Watson said. "I didn't hit any real close shots.
I made enough good swings to keep the ball in play." Watson will try to remedy that swing "problem" with week of practice. After all, he only won by two shots. -Waltrip (Cont. From Page 4-B) "My biggest objection to it is that it means too much of the outcome is determined away from the track," he said. Bobby Allison was hurt more by the rule than any driver because he didn't change tires and ended up slamming into the wall when a tire blew on the 342nd lap.
"The tire rule made us gamble more than usual," Allison said. "We scheduled to stop in another two laps but it (the tire) didn't last that long. We were just trying to do the best we could." Race (Cont. From Page 3-B) "Earnhardt went low in the first turn and ran into Brooks and turned him around. He hit Petty and Petty turned around," Gant said of the accident.
"1 then stopped and it seemed like everybody hit me." Earnhardt, who lost considerable ground to Waltrip in the point chase, refused to take responsibility for the mishap. "I went low and the other cars came down on me. I know they are going to say I was wrong and I went up into them," Earnhardt said. "But the low groove is part of the race track and it was open when I got there so what else was I supposed to do?" For Waltrip, it was his third career win at Martinsville with all -of -his victories coming in the Virginia 500 (1976, '78). He took home a record $26,850, including $3,000 for leading 303 laps, in the race that took over six hours from the 12:30 p.m.
starting time to complete. Parsons, who won $15,400 for second, almost was ignored during the race as Petty was expected to. push Waltrip at the end if any driver could. "After our last stop for tires, we weren't sure we would go all the way, but we felt we could," said Parsons, who like Waltrip made up a lap when Petty took on four tires late in the race. "It just seemed to me Darrell had the EXERCISE BICYCLES.

From Page 3-B) but the rubber had worn so badly the red and blue racer drifted high in turn two and he was unable to make the turn down pit row.
Arrington was forced to make a slow circuit around the track before entering the pits to take on fresh rubber. Because of the new NASCAR tire rule which prohibits tire changes under caution, that tire change was the only one of the day, Arrington sald, and it left him pleased with the new rule aimed at cutting costs. "Yes sir, I am tickled pink over the rule. It helped us because we didn't have to buy so many tires, and I am all for anything that'll save money," Arrington said. The win by Bolt and Wall was a popular one among the seniors crowd even one of the losers.
"'There couldn't be a nicer man than Art Wall," said Snead. don't even know he is on the golf course. If I Waltrip called on NASCAR officials to study the rule more and suggested some possible modifications. "I don't know what all of them could be. Maybe limit the number of tires you can use during a race or perhaps give you one stop under caution when all four: could be changed," Waltrip sald.
Martinsville Speedway was A good place to test the rule, Waltrip said, because the track gives good tire wear, However, that Isn't the case on other tracks. "Nashville is a fast track and If you have a blowout about 113 miles a race car if pointed out. edge on me all day. We were lucky to finish second, very lucky." Baker, who blamed a 15- cent screw in the alternator for starting his troubles, said he knew when the race was stopped it was not his day. "I knew after that caution flag when I was sitting there with a busted alternator and flat tire what kind of day it was for me," said Baker after finishing 24th.
Petty, claiming he lost about three laps because of caution flags, said he didn't win a late race gamble he took to change tires. "We decided to take on four fresh tires and hope we'd get quick caution, words, make it that much harder for Darrell and Benny to come around us. But we never got it. That's -the gamble we took." Two wrecks late in the race were blamed on the tire rule which forced drivers to forego changing tires under caution on virtually every yellow period has become the custom in GN events. Bobby Allison's crew, headed by car Bud there where we average per hour, you can destroy you blow a tire," Waltrip Moore, miscalculated the potential tire wear on his Ford and the Hueytown, driver, slammed into the wall after a tire blowout on lap 342.
Dick Brooks blew tire and slid into the wall on lap 376. Waltrip, a critic of the rule before the race, did not change his mind with his 25th: career victory. 8 "The Idea may be good but I think they need to look at it again," Waltrip said. "I think Bobby Allison would agree with me. He just about destroyed a race car because of the tire rule." Waltrip suggested NASCAR could give "mulligan" or let crews: change four tires, once under caution.
The rule would be in effect as it is the rest of the way. spor TV iew MONDAY SPORTS 10:00 P.M.
