Michael Coles, a> 6’4” center
from Lynchburg, Virginia has
signed a grant-in-aid with
Brevard College. Coles, an all
state selection for three con
secutive years, averaged 24
points and 1$ rebounds per
game his senior year, scoring
over 1,000 points while in
high school. He was voted
the most valuable player in
the state tournament his
junior year.
“Mike has all the tools to be
come an excellent ball player.
Although he is only 6’4” he can
rebound with players three and
four inches taller because of
his leaping ability. He-has good
range and shot variety for a
player who spent his high
school days at the center posi
tion. He will probably play
both the center and forward
positions for us," commented
Brevard’s coach, Larry Burch.
Coles makes the eighth
player to sign with Brevard
for the 1971-72 basketball
season. Several other players
will be wearing Brevard uni

John Passmore and Ken Gilburth
In the short span of one
month* Lee Buck Trevino —
Mexican - American, grade
school dropout, ex-marine ser
geant and all-around hustler—
has become the first golfer in
history to win the British, Ca
nadian and U. S. Opens in the
same year. No other golfer is
about to match his record in
1971.
After Trevino first came out
of nowhere to win his first U.S.
Open in 1968, many dismissed
bis feat as a one-shot lucky up
btart. Since that first U. 6. Open
triumph, he has won more
money ($097,461) and finished
among the top 10 in more tour
naments than any other golfer
an the tour.
With official PGA earnings
af $196,000 so far this season—
the $13,200 he won in the Brit
ish Open is not included in
PGA money rankings—he is a
cinch to break Billy Casper’s
1$68 record of $205,000. Tre
vino plans to play in at least
eight to ten more events this
year, which means that he con
ceivably earn more than $300,
DQ0 in prize money. “You can
call me a Spaniard now,” he
says, “because who ever heard
of a rich Mexican?”
The 31-year old Trevino Ye
ivards his fans (Lee’s fleas)
with fun and finess — on his
earthly appeal. He will stick
his tongue out at a bad shot,
coax in a putt with a burlesque
hump or break into a toreador
waltz with an attacking bee. His
fleas delight in his wisecracks
(flea; “nice shot”, Lee: “What
iid you expect from the U. S.
Open champion — ground
halls?”)
Masters champion George
Archer says: “The tour is like
i big circus that pulls into town
ance a year, and Lee is the
ringmaster and clown rolled
Into one.”
In a gatM j
much concentration
says “the only tin
king is when I’m
chatters before, af
times even during
tagow,” he will say
“Five years ag<
g BP on dirt, n
tees”--thwaek
and his trusty #3 iron was
never beaten. Later he wrapped
a quart-size Dr. Pepper bottle
with adhesive tape, and when
the stakes were right, he would
match his bottle against any
challenger’s clubs. A fellow
once bet Trevino he couldn’t
hit the 100-yard sign. Lee look
ed at him and said, “which zero
do you want me to hit?” The
fellow backed down.
In 1964 he postponed his
wedding to enter a Pro-Am
golf tournament in Fort Worth,
where he eagled the first hole,
then Wrdied the second, third,
fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth
to turp in 29, Lee scored 61
for the 18 holes.
After turning pro and teach
ing golf, he once told a student.
“If I were you, I’d go out and
practice all. day eVery day for
two whole weeks. Hit buckets
of balls. Work on all your shots.
And then I’d ({nit. Sell my clubs
and quit.”
Trevino once registered for
a tournament and the officials
handed him the first-place
money before he even teed off.
In 1966 a sponsor paid his way
to the U. S. Open in San Fran
cisco, where he finished 54th,
and played with an un-match
ed set of clubs.
In 1967 he was lowest quali
fier in the nation for the U. S. “
Open. He finished fifth, won
$6,000 and named rookie of the
year.
Tevino has won nine PGA
tournaments and ranks No. JLO
among golf’s all-time money
winners. Some of his endorse
ment deals are with Blue Bell.
Inc., Abbott Laboratories (golf
equipment), Stylist Shoe Co..
Downtowner Motor Inns, Chrys
ler’s Dodge Division, Lee Tre
vino Enterprises Inc., and a
$1.5 million luxury apartment
in El Paso called Casa Trevino.
Frank Beard recalls, he saw
Trevino “packing up his car
after one tournament, wearing
his cowboy hat and his cowboy
boots. I couldn’t help noticing
thgt he had more people watch
ing him load his car than I’d
had watching me shoot 66.”
