Page 6 Portland/Observer Thursday. May 2. 1974 Sports with Ken hv Ken l.vday s c h e d u le d KOIN TV news The World Football League is definitely out to make it big on the professional scene. Its appearance has forced the already established National Football League to alter its regulations (the NFL contests were becoming dull). .And its creation has opened the door for ex pansion in pro baseball and basketball. There is now a proposed 32 team World Baseball As sociation and an International Basketball Association, to play in Europe this fall. These latest developments have given established pro fessionals a little bargaining power, by creating alterna tives. But with the addition of new leagues and franchises, it’s still difficult for a rookie to get into the ranks. The WFL is said to be an outlet for the "less-than- superstars” to compete pro fessionally, and many of these individuals turned out for the Portland Storm free agent tryout camp. Three hundred believers competed in a mini track meet last weekend . . . and most of the hopefuls were eliminated by timings in the 40 yard dash. To begin the Saturday morning, the Portland coach ing staff expected no more than 200 tryouts . .. some thing ridiculous in an area which has produced several outstanding pro athletes and is in need of a professional football team. But there were 100 more than specu lated. so the elimination process had to be quick and nasty. These 300 believers were faced with a cold and cloudy morning la definite obstacle in any running activity) and a wet Civic Stadium tartan covered field (which is a combination of the feeling of stepping on a damp sponge and sliding on a just waxed floor).

D o c to r s h o rta g e c o n t r iv e d Speaking to members of the Oregon Social Welfare Association in Portland Senator Vern Cook, Demo cratic candidate for Con gress. said "There is not much wrong with the supply of doctors and dentists that the practice of free enter prise and easy entry into the professions wouldn't cure. There is a shortage of medical doctors and dentists. The price of medical and dental services is high. Both of these problems ran be simply solved. “There are thousands of young men and women who would like to be medical doctors and dentists. There are hundreds of hospitals that could serve as training areas for apprentice doctors. There are thousands of col lege trained teachers in the fields of biology, chemistry and other areas of study in which medical practicioners must be trained. “The reason we have the doctor shortages and high prices for medical care is that organized medicine and dentistry have been more concerned about retaining a higher standard of living and earnings than that of other professions requiring similar levels of intelligence and training. Government should double the capacities of medical schools and insist that every qualified person be given an opportunity to become and M.D. or a Dentist.” N .

Patterned after the State Veteran's Farm and Home Iatan program, hut open to all citizens, the new program would offer mortgage loans for low to moderately priced homes at interest rates sub stantially below those quote«! on the open market.
