The sparkle in the Eye and the Lead came simultaneously Friday when a 25-foot Eagle putt found the cup on the 15th Hole and prompted a full throated Roar of approval from the Spanish Star. It was the critical blow in a round of 68 that lifted Ballesteros into a single stroke Lead at the Halfway Point of the 50th Mas ters an Independent classic that is not a part of the regular tour.

I Don t have to prove anything. If i win great. If not i la be Back next  Ballesteros who also owns two British open crowns said he came today just to play Good and do my Best. I did t look at a scoreboard until the 18th  and he was asked How does it look that scoreboard with the Ballesteros name atop the list of the world s finest players poker faced Ballesteros studied it again. It looks very Good he said. It presented a different appearance to a group of players who once shared the Lead then came staggering out of amen Corner like a beaten army in Retreat with Shock pain and Strain showing on their faces. Tom Watson Norman Chen and the Gritty Bill Kratzert went into that stretch of holes either tied for the Lead or within a stroke of first place. All fell victim to a greater or lesser degree to the Subtle terrors camouflaged but not hidden by the azaleas dog Woods and Wisteria on the far stretch of the a photo masters Leader seve Ballesteros.

A the Tampa Bay buccaneers ended weeks of speculation Friday announcing that a Burn running Back to Jackson will be the first pick in the National football league draft unless the club swings a last minute Trade. Coach Leeman Bennett called the 1985 Heisman Tro Phy Winner the Best Prospect at his position to enter the draft since . Simpson in 1969. Bennett said Jackson is so Good that it we uld take two Quality veterans and a first round draft Choice to change the bugs plans. You Don t not take the Best unless you get two or three players you feel will help you just As much in the Long run he said. That s How we re looking at  Jackson also considered an outstanding major league baseball Prospect has said he won t decide until after the draft if he will play professional football or baseball. The bucs 2-14 last season have three of the first 28 picks in the april 29 draft and four of the top 40. Re building the defense is a priority and before Friday Ben Nett had maintained that the team was undecided about taking Jackson. He said improving a defense that ranked 26th in the nil is still critical but acknowledged there Are a limited number of can to miss defensive players available. Getting immediate help might be difficult said Ben Nett who also will have the 25th and 28th Overall picks. Most of the time it s two or three years before you know How Well off you Are with the people you  Jackson however could have an immediate Impact in a Backfield that would include James Wilder a 1,000-Yard rusher during the past two seasons and quarterback Steve Young. The bucs ran a one Back offence a year ago but will Usea two Back set in 1986. Jackson would not Only take some of the Burden off Wilder but add versatility As Well be cause he also could be used As a flanker in some formations Bennett said. Bennett said Tampa Bay would prefer to sign the 6 foot-1, 222-Pound speedster before draft Day but that if he in t signed by then the bucs will still select him. We re not really that concerned about whether he has an agent or is thinking about playing baseball the coach said adding that bucs owner Hugh culverhouse has assured me that if we draft to and there is a bidding War we will take our  Phil Krueger assistant to the owner said the bucs have received Trade offers from about six teams that would like an Opportunity to draft Jackson. Several clubs have made offers including Veteran play ers and draft choices but none of the packages were at Tractive enough to accept Bennett said
