. TO WIN TITLEBy CHARLES A. GREJMICIIAssociated Press Sports WriterOKLAHOMA CITY, July 14 — (AP)—Zell Eaton of Oklahoma City will celebrate his twenty-first birthday tomorrow trying to win the i Western Amateur Golf .champion- 1 ship and Dave Goldman of Dallas will try to spoil it by beating the slim tournament medalist out of the first major title within his grasp.Goldman, 25-year-old “old man” of the semi-finals, reached the finals of the 36th annual tournament with a hard-fought 1-up victory over Charley Yafc^s of Atlanta, the national collegiate • champion, while Eaton easily defeated Verne Stewart of Albuquerque, N.. M-, and Stanford University,' B and 4.To oust Stewart, Eaton needed only to hold as much as he could of the 7-up advantage with which he finished the morning 18 holes, but for Goldman it was a tight battle nil the way after he went to lunch thinking about a. 1-up lead the 20-year-old Georgian held over him.Goldman steadied to a 71 this afternoon and was one up on Yates going to the thirty-sixth, where both pushed their second shots to the right of the green, but were not stymied by the scrub, oaks fringing the green.Goldman wns away and he used a putter from 15 feet off the green. He was approximately 13 feet short, Yates, also using a putter after deliberate study of the shot, took a cue from the Texan’s short shot and was seven feet past the pin.Needing a half to win the match, Goldman knocked his curving putt squarely into the can and the match was over.cXiIIVrin
