THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. —
Cowboys defensive tackle
I Randy White, a nine-year veteran
who has been to the Pro Bowl the
ast seven seasons, failed to report
to the team’s training camp as sched
uled Thursday.
■ Coach Tom Landry said White
would be Fined $5,000 a day until he
appears.
P White is on the option year of his
|contract, but negotiations have been
Underway the past month for a new
witract.
The Cowboys side of the negotia-
[ons are being handled by an attor-
who has taken care of other club

B “I guess I shouldn’t he surprised
amsidering his agent,” Landry said.

had not joined the rest of the veter-
1ns, who reported to camp Thurs-
ay, until informed by reporters.
White had told various friends on
ic team, including defensive line-
anjohn Dutton, that he would not
port and those teammates spread
e word when they reached Thou-
nd Oaks.
“That is not very good news,”
Landry said when told. “I didn’t
think that would he like Randy, but I
guess he has left things in the hands
of his agent.
“He will he fined like any other
player. We won’t make any excep
tions.”
Cowboys personnel director Gil
Brandt did not show any surprise
when told of White’s decision.
“Maybe we will make him an offer
today,” Brandt said.
The rest of the veterans reported
to the campus of California Lu
theran College Thursday. Counting
White, there are 10 players who
completed the 1983 season with Dal
las who were not present in camp.
Five of those are retirees offen

Three players
lead field in
British Open
United Press International
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Greg
Norman, Peter Jacobsen and Bill
Longmuir shared the lead Thursday
after shooting 5-under-par 67s in
the first round of the 113th British
Open golf championship.
There was a group of players at
69, including Spain’s Seve Balleste
ros, Nick Faldo of Britain, American
Tom Kite and Brazilian Jaime Gon
zalez.
Bill Rogers, winner of this title
three years ago, hit three balls out of
bounds en route to a 12 at the 14th
hole. He carded an 82 and threat
ened to pull out of the tournament.
The three leaders had entirely
different rounds on the 6,933 yard
links course, which was bathed in
sunshine and cooled by a gradually
increasing, but not disruptive wind.
Norman, the 29-year-old Austra
lian who lost a playoff to Fuzzy Zoel-
ler for the U.S. Open championship,
recovered from a dropped shot at
the second to turn in a 1-under 35,
and then unleashed a savage assault,
collecting five birdies in the first six
inward holes by sinking putts of up
to 28 feet.
But the powerful Queenslander,
who won the Kemper Open and the
Canadian Open, ran into trouble at
the notorious 17th, the Road hole,
and dropped a shot with a five.
Norman said his good round was
built on exceptionally good driving,
a relaxed, confident approach, and
the fact that he has learned how to
play a links course.
But he thought publicity of his
success on the U.S. Tour had exag
gerated his real form at the moment.
“I don’t think I’m playing as well
as I did at the end of last year,” Nor
man said, but added that one differ
ence here was, “I’m not scared of
winning tournaments anymore.”
Jacobsen, a 30-year-old American
who won the Colonial National Invi
tation earlier this season, made
steady progress throughout his
round, picking up shots at the first,
third, fourth and ninth, where he
sank a 20-foot putt.
