Gary West eyes challenge to Roosevelt's track dominance

GARY, Ind. (AP) - A fierce battle for statewide supremacy in track is expected this year from Gary Roosevelt and Gary ■West, which have dominated Indiana high school boys’ track for nearly a decade. - “We can’t touch them in the hurdles, mile, two-mile and i, 600-meter relay,” West Coach Ike Brown said of Roosevelt’s defending state champions. - “I think we can overcome them, however, in the other events. I really feel everything else is in our favor. We’re really concentrating on field events, trying to get 25 points from our field people before we even get into the running. That’s something West Side has never done.” If West can do that, Roosevelt’s three-year reign as state champion could end, since the Panthers’ scoring in recent years has come entirely from the running events. Last year, Roosevelt beat runner-up Fort Wayne Snider 75-52 in the state meet, and all 75 points came from the Panthers’ runners. “I really feel good about the high jump, long jump and shot

put,” said West’s second-year coach. “We’ve got two people in each event. Our kids really want it (the state title). They’re mere than hungry. They’re to win.” West tied Snider for the 1974 state championship, then won outright titles in 1975,1978,1979 and 1960 before yielding to Roosevelt the past three years. The Cougars have six men back from last year’s state meet, including junior Jerome Jenkins, who tied for third in the high jiflripat6-feet-10.

Snider, which finished second in last year’s firWSGt, lost record-setting hurdler. Rod Woodson to Purdue arid hasn’t ranked among this year’s top 10. Gary Roosevelt also lost some important people who helped account for 63 of the Panthers’ 75 points in the state meet but again figures to be strong

Just who's making a living off a kid who's playing for free?

By IRABERKOW c. 1984 N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK John Thompson is not against hugging, so why is he rapping kissing? After Coach Thompson’s Georgetown Hoyas had attained an insurmountable lead late in the National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball championship game last Monday night in the Seattle Kingdome, the television cameras panned to the bench and picked up Thompson's victory embrace of Fred Brown and Patrick Ewing, two of his players. Madly and sweetly they exulted. And with cause. The coach particularly. The son of an illiterate laborer and a domestic, he took a losing basketball program at Georgetown University and worked assiduously and skillfully, rose to the top of his profession on merit and in the process became the first black coach to win the NCAA basketball title. And this after having lost in the final in the last seconds of play two years before. Thompson has also been criticized by some in the press for what has been termed “overly physical basketball.” That is, roughneck stuff. Sometimes, a Georgetown game resembles a hockey game. But college basketball is a rough business, and the teams are playing for high stakes: each team in the Final Four, for example, earned $614,000. And the object, obviously, is to win. So Thompson retaliated, and said about the press, “The most physical thing they’ve done is kiss.” Now, it’s true of some reporters that, as it has been said, when they feel an urge for physical exercise they lie down until it passes. Commentary But kissing, as Thompson so sagely noted, is an exercise they engage in. One reason perhaps is that it can be effectuated when lying down. By his condemnation, are we to presume that basketball coaches don’t kiss? If that is so, then if they could tear themselves away from watching game films for a while they might find it not so bad a thing. Even boxers kiss. When Archie Moore was light-heavyweight champion of the world, someone asked if his wife minded kissing him with his beard. “No,” Archie said, “she’s more than happy to go through a forest to get to the picnic.” On another leyel, Thompson may be faulted for stereotyping the press. There is at least one ink-stained wretch who jogs. There is at least one other who plays recreational basketball. And there probably have been at least as many members of the press who served in military combat as there have been basketball coaches. One would think that Thompson, who has rightly resisted and been sensitive to labels, would be the last person to cast a stereotype. He has also been protective of his players, often shielding them from the press. Sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly. Anyway, the aura created by Thompson has been called “Hoya Paranoia.” He recently responded by criticizing the role of the press, and said to reporters, “You’re making a living off a kid who’s playing for free, basically.” Somehow, Thompson makes it sound as if the press which surely has its faults, as even some basketball coaches do is performing evil work. Does he mean that the press shouldn’t cover college basketball? And by press it is assumed he also means television. Shall we allow college basketball to return to the anonymity it once enjoyed in peachbasket days? How would the Georgetown president feel about having $614,000 less than he has now? And it follows that if the press didn’t cover college basketball, there would be a de-

behind senior Erik Campbell, the son of Coach John Campbell. As a junior, Erik was state runner-up in the 110-meter high hurdles and anchored Roosevelt’s winning 400-relay. Johnny Moore, who ran the third leg on that relay, is also back and will also be used in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Roosevelt’s progress has been slowed, however, by a basketball injury to Campbell and a two-week teachers’ strike in Gary. “Last Friday, the doctor let him start doing some slow jogging on the football field,” the elder Campbell said of his son. “If Erik mends in time, I think our chances (of repeating as champion) are pretty good, because we should also be able to field two very strong relay teams, and I don’t think it’s going to take as many points (in the state meet to win) this year. “But if Erik doesn’t mend, then we’ve got problems. The thing that hurt us (during the teacher strike) was missing five indoor meets.”

JOHNTHOMPSON A blast at the press emphasis of that extracurriular activity, and that would mean a loss of scholarships, and, in many cases across the country, a loss of cars and television sets and other perks for athletes, many of whom are not playing for free, basically. And Thompson is not Mother Teresa. He, too, is making a living off a kid who’s playing for free, basically. Thompson earns about $65,000 a year in salary from Georgetown University; that is nearly triple the average salary of professors on the main campus. And his is a revolving three-year contract, which means that if he is dismissed, he gets paid for two-plus years. Thompson talks about motivating youth and building character, and he may succeed in those aims. But he is still not Mother Teresa. Thompson lives in a $300,000 house with a large pool in a swanky area in Washington. He was provided this house by the Alumni Association when he used an offer to coach at Oklahoma as leverage to improve his position at Georgetown. Because he implies that he is not living off a kid who’s playing for free, basically, he was offered and accepted a basketball sneaker endorsement worth $50,000. He also runs a summer basketball camp in which he earns about $50,000 more. Thompson also makes numerous speeches, some for charities he does gratis, some for businesses for which he charges a fee. Now, Jim Valvano, who coached last year’s NCAA champion, North Carolina State, commands $3,500 an engagement. Thompson need ask no less than that. And 15 of those speeches give him about another $50,000. Thompson, who proudly admits to making a good deal of money during his decade or so at Georgetown, will conceivably earn in the vicinity of a quarter of a million dollars this year plus living in $300,000 house that he hasn’t paid for. But never mind that. What rankles here is his put-down of the press for what he considers, and, it must be admitted, with justification, its predilection for smooching. Our defense? Who needs a defense? Our position, though, was advanced most nobly and cogently by Robert Herrick, a 17th-century scribe, who wrote: Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; Then to that twenty, add a hundred more: A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on, To make that thousand a million. Treble that million, and when that is done,

Ex-'Husker backs ield mates face each other in USFL match

By The Associated Press Mike Rozier and Mark Schellen, who spent some good times together in the backfield at Nebraska, will be reunited but across the field Sunday when the New Orleans Breakers take on the Pittsburgh Maulers in the United States Football League. “I’m looking forward to seeing my old friend. I wish him the best of luck except for this Sunday,” Schellen, the former Comhusker blocking back, said of Rozier, last year’s Heisman Trophy winner as college football’s premier player. Sunday’s other games are Philadelphia at Arizona and Memphis at New Jersey. On Monday night it’s Los Angeles at Denver and Washington at Houston. Today it was San Antonio at Chicago and Michigan at

Brewers' loss is third straight

By The Associated Press When he was manager of the Seattle Mariners, Rene Lachemann had a tough time winning in the Kingdome. He’s having no better luck as manager of the Milwaukee Brewers. Lachemann, fired last season by the hapless Mariners and hired by Milwaukee, returned to the Kingdome Friday night but the result was a familar one for him there as the Brewers dropped a 6-3 decision to Seattle. It was the third straight loss for the Brewers, still winless this season after dropping a

Bean up by one at Greensboro GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Andy Bean, a big, strong redhead who looks like a linebacker, went out with the plan of “trying to birdie every hole.” Jack Renner is a slender, almost gaunt little man whose idea was “try to make a lot of pars.” The different philosophies and very different physiques produced identical, no-bogey, 5-under-pars 67s Friday in the second round of the $400,000 Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament. “This is a good course for me,” said Bean, a powerful man who has been known to wrestle alligators. “It plays long. And that gives me a little advantage over the rest of the field.” The advantage over Renner, at the halfway point of the tournament, was one lone stroke. Bean, who played the back nine in 31, had a 36-hole total of 138, six under par.

Oklahoma. Tonight it’s Birmingham at Jacksonville and Oakland at Tampa Bay. Rozier has had a tough time as a pro. In six games he has rushed for 326 yards, a seasonhigh 90 of them last weekend in a 28-14 victory over Oakland that raised the Maulers’ record to 2-4. But Dick Coury, coach of the 5-1 Breakers, says those numbers are misleading. “Rozier’s accomplishments speak for themselves,” he said of the 2,167 yards he gained last year and the spate of Big Eight Conference records he holds. “He is certainly one of the great young runners in the game.” Meanwhile, the Breakers have the youngest runner in the game, Marcus Dupree, as well as Schellen. “They’ve got one of the best backfields around,” Pittsburgh Coach Joe Pendry

pair of one-run decisions in Oakland. “If I spend all my time trying to beat Seattle, I’m in a deep stew,” Lachemann said. “I can’t make a big deal over wanting to beat Seattle. I want to try to win every game, not just the games against Seattle. All the games are important.” In other American League action, it was Detroit 3, Chicago 2; Texas 7, New York 6; Cleveland 2, Kansas City 0; Minnesota 9, Baltimore 4; Oakland 3, Boston 1, and Toronto 11, California 5.

cautioned. “We didn’t contain Joe Cribbs (the USFL rushing leader from Birmingham) very well earlier in the season but we did do a good job against Kelvin Bryant (of Philadelphia, second to Cribbs) a couple of weeks ago. “I’m just hoping we can carry the momentum from last week’s game,” Pendry added. Linebacker Stan White of Arizona says Sunday’s game against the visiting Stars presents a special challenge. “We should look forward to the ‘big games’ because that’s when you can go out there and really have yourself some fun,’’ White said. The Wranglers, who weren’t supposed to lose a game this year, according to Coach George Allen, have lost three of their six going into the game against the 5-1 Stars. Injuries, Allen said.

losers of 102 games last season, gained their second victory in three starts under Del Crandall, bunching five hits off Moose Haas in the third. Losing 6-1, the Brewers scored two runs in the ninth inning and had runners at first and third with Cecil Cooper at the plate. But they lost their last chance to come back when Cooper’s ground ball struck Robin Yount as he was running to second base. The baserunner was automatically called out. “You don’t see that happen to Robin Yount too many times,” said Lacheman."
