He took a double bogey on i i and a bogey on 17 before saving Par on the 18th with a Superb shot through the Trees to the Middle of the Green. The decision to cancel the worldwide Competition did no to bother Curvin too much. It was doubtful that he would have been Able to go to Macdill because of his air traffic controller duties at Ramstein. A it did no to look like i was going to make it to air Force because of duty commitments but i must say in a not too surprised to hear about the cancellation. There a a lot going on around the world. In a a Little bit surprised that we were Able to play Safe. There Are More important things than . Mike Connors realizes that too. When he finished play in the last group of seniors in the last foursome on the course tuesday he had a message to Call his office in Torrejon. That was when he found out about the recall of the Torrejon contingent. A i Haven to got the final word from Headquarters but it looks like our group from Torrejon might not be Here for the final round  it was probably a Good thing Connors did no to know about the recall while he was on the course. After a Fine 36 on the front he ballooned to 42 coming Home and plunged into the deadlock for the Lead when Colella came in with a 73, Connors and Colella stand at 226, one stroke ahead of the Csc a Jim Roudenbush who had a 76. Quot that Back nine was the worst i played All year a Connors moaned. Quot i lost my Ryt hym and  get it  Colella had a Chance to take the outright Lead but he three putted the eight and 17th holes and missed a couple of other Short putts. Roudebush stayed in the thick of things with a splendid Home nine 33, after a horrendous 43 going out. A i played two different games out there today. The front nine was ugly. The Back nine much  he had Birds on 11,12 and 16 and a bogey on 18. Holen played a steady front nine but faltered com Ingin shooting a 46 As to was scoring 40. Quot none of us played very Good Golf Quot to said. Quot we All made some Good shots but we All made some mistakes and Susan had difficulty  Susan Mendel was the third member of the Csc threesome. She three putted six greens and four putted once a and still had a 90. R. To said the cancellation of worldwide was Quot both a Downer and a positive thing.1 Quot it was a Downer because it would have been Nice to go Back to the states to play in another tournament a she said. Quot but in a a Pilot and i done to know whether i could have afforded to be away from my training too  she flies a c-9 medical evacuation plane. A tired of covering for bulls by Tim Boivin staff writer Frankfurt West Germany a Michael Jordan May play for Chi town but he certainly Isnit shy about getting bullish with ins teammates. That was evident last year in the Eastern conference finals when he threw a locker room tirade after the bulls lost the second game to fall behind 2-0 in the Best of so Van series. And it was evident tuesday when he met v corps soldiers in Frankfurt on the Germany leg of a promotional tour. Quot when i came into the locker room at the end of the second game against Detroit 1 said we were playing like a Bunch of. Well you can fill in the words a Jordan said when asked about his uncharacteristic outburst. Jordan  talk to the Media after that game. "1 said Vic were not playing As Well As we could a Jordan said. A i wanted the other players to step up and make the excuses that 1 had been making for the whole time i have been with the Chicago bulls. In a tired of covering for  the Veteran pistons and their bad boys defense did no to help matters. Quot everybody on our team had a Good Opportunity to step up and make a name for the self. All they had to do was step up and shoot the Ball. They weren to doing  Jordan said he needs the kind of Veteran experience on the Bench that Miou has to get the bulls Over the Hump. Quot we need More veterans with playoff experience a Jordan said. Quot our downfall against Detroit is that we did no to have the Bench to combat their Bench and  to remedy that tie hulls traded their Fust round pick in this years draft to gel Veteran guard Dennis Hopson from the new Jersey nets. That was also what the bulls were looking for when they traded Charles Oakley for Bill Cartwright last season. A Bill did no to play As Many years As he could have because of injuries and the bulls Felt he had a few More years left in him Quot Jordan said As he tried to explain the bulls move to pick up a 31-year-old Center in Exchange for Oakley who led the league in rebounding his last year with the bulls. Why Oakley a Charles Oakley and Doug Collins then the bulls coach had a Little conflict a Jordan said. Quot at the time they Felt they needed a Center a prime Factor to win a world championship. We had to use value to Trade for it. We weren to going to Trade me to new York and Charles Oakley was the next closest thing to value on our  look for a bigger role in the backcourt for former Iowa standout . Armstrong who was supposed to handle the Point and take some of the heat off Jordan last year. Armstrong did not live up to expectations leaving the pressure on Jordan. Quot last year . Went through an adjustment period of learning How to play Aba basketball. It took him a while to understand that there were certain things he could do and certain things he could t do a Jordan said. The bulls also picked up Stacey King from Oklahoma in the 1989draft, and King had a Good Rookie season. Quot Stacey played a lot of minutes for us last year and created a name for himself a Jordan said. Quot he built up his Confidence a whole lot in that he knows he can compete at that  but that a the youth. What about the vets Guys like Hopson Quot we have to get a better Bench a Jordan acknowledged. Quot our starting five last year did very Well. We competed with any starting five in the Aba but when we had to sit Down and get some rest our second five did no to do so  and then there is the Pivotal question of the Pivot. Most of the soldiers in the audience thought the bulls will face an Uphill Battle with Cartwright starting. Quot i think everybody thinks we need a Center a Jordan told the crowd. Quot Bill Cartwright is very different very awkward. But he a a Good Center. He a been Able to neutralize centers. Look at when he played Patrick Ewing in the playoffs. Ewing did no to dominate him like everybody thought he would and we beat new  As for the other starters Jordan said he Hopes his outburst in the playoffs Over Lack of support sinks in. A i think the biggest example of seeing what we need off those Guys is seeing when we play Detroit a Jordan said. Quot Detroit a mentality is to take the Ball totally out of my hands and see if anybody else on the team is going to Hurt them. These Guys have to step up and take some of the responsibility on offence giving us some output. Quot Horace Grant and Scottie Pinpon have taken some of that offensive pressure from me and Given us a  Jordan said he enjoyed playing last year under Rookie head coach Phil Jackson. When asked about Collins firing Jordan said Quot the owners Felt that Doug Collins did not relate Well to the Young players they were bringing in and had them on Edge a Little bit a Jordan said. Quot to gel better results they wanted a smoother less temperamental  Michael Jordan now comes Jackson whom Jordan called Quot a totally different coach. He a Laid Back from the �?T60s, those wildflower Days. He knows How to relate to the Young players and get the Best from the Young  one of those Young players was Grant who let bulls management know that he was unhappy Over his pay. The Forward said he was so bitter toward comments about his play by general manager Jerry Krause during the playoffs that he wanted to be traded anywhere even new Jersey. Jordan said it was All a bargaining ploy. Quot Horace Grant would say anything to get his contract. You try to use the leverage to enhance your position. He got his new contract and in a pretty sure you re not going to hear too much from Horace this season. He does no to have anything to cry about  so Horace Grant is Happy and the bulls now have the wily old veterans to complement the Tough youngsters. Jordan thinks it All adds up to a bulls Eye on the championship in 1991. �?o1 think next year might be the year. We were a game away this year. We had a Tough seven game series with Detroit. We came close. 1 think next year we can Lake it Over the  open from Page 21 could Only tap backhand into the net.
