Gene Bartow p a prune example of w hat can happen ter a "good" coach once he arrives at U C LA . Although Bartow had tw o winning seas ons at U C L A , the Bruin nrgaaisatin was very unhappy because of losses in the N C A A Tournament for tw o y u a n in a row. Bartow was down the road for Uaing only 7 games in tw o y u a n . This is not one of the most favorable atmospheres for a college snd if the Bruin organisatiou doesn't change they'll be lucky to get a successful high school coach. Two-tim e defending rhampmc Pacific Northw est Bai' was dethroned Saturday by a Powerful Portland Obaervev team. The tw o teems had played twice before with Portland Observer coming out of the daaaic battloo on rap both times. Ai though M r. Brown, the Portland Obeer ver Coach. feels that Mina Temple and not P N B was th e ir to u g n e s t foe this teem was not overconfident coming into Like the tw o previous games, the championship game was a hard fought battle Perhaps it was experience that helped the PO team. According to M r. Sykes, P N B coach, there were some costly m eatal errors caused prim arily as a result of his team's youth. Eight of the startiag nine w ere under the 15 year age lim it. M r. Sykes was exremelv happy w ith his team's drive to the championship n what was supposed to be his An Associated Press poll of the richest free agents shows that most of them are not earning th eir astronomical salaries. Some is due to injury, some to organixa lional problems, but most of these play ers are not playing up to their so-called "great” ability. O f course there are some benefits to having these high priced superstars. No doubt that personalities like Reggie Jackson. Rollie Fingers, and Gene Tensce draw huge crowds at the box office. But these guys are supposed to do more than draw fans; they are supposed to play “super” baseball. T ake Jackson for ex ample. Reggie is batting -280 with 13 homeruns. Ths may have been a .ceptable in other years but w ith the new livelier balls. The American League is crawling with .300 and over hitters. His low batting average is not because be is a p ow erhitter either. His home run pro duction, IS, is about half that of the leaders. I f Jackson is earning 2.9 million it is because he is draw ing fans. Jackson is not the only one having big problems. Texas gave Bert Campanaris $1 million and Doyl Alexander $965,000 and is struggling. San Diego got Gene Tensce for 1.6 million and Rollie Fingers for $1.7 million, and is in a wild battle for last place in the division with A tlanta, where G ary M attew s and Andy Messer smith are playing, both of whom have million dollar contracts. I f these high priced free agents don't produce in the coming years, what do they care? Almost all of them are over 30 and are probably playing out th eir last years knowing they hav millions when they re tire. M r. Brown gave special recognition to Paul W eatberoy, Marshall Haskins, win ning pitcher Rance Spruill, and relief ace Gerald Jesse for th eir fine individual play M r. Brown w ill have five players back next year, three of whom he termed “outstanding" The outstanding players are Kenny H enry. Derick F air and Gerald Jeeae. M r. Brown would like to commend his 13 year olds for their fine play throughout the season and their eathus contribution in the final “team" Although PO w ill be "competitive" next year. P N B promises to be more than competitive. Returning w ill be 3 all-stars. 2 alternates and one reserve. Not return ing is all-star Craig Freeman, but pitch ing ace G reg W est w ill be back. The smoothest swinging h itte r in I ball. Rod Carew. is still on his hitting As of Monday. Rod has lifted i hatting average to a hefty .406, over forty points higher than anyone in the American League. In addition to being an awesome batter. Carew is a fine base- steeler. In addition to picking up three hits in the Monday game. Carew stole home plate for the sixteenth tim e in his career In his last eight games all Carew has managed to do was collect 20 hits in 32 trips to the plate for an unbelievable .625 batting average thorn 10 vears and older.

A crowd of 14.773 then erupted in jubilation as Stew art Scullion drilled in the penalty kick from 10 m eters away, past Minne aota keeper Geoff Barnett, to make the In a stealthy manner the Lost Angeles Ram vs have named th eir second Black coach. Lionel T aylor, the ex-Pittsburgh Steeler Assistant. T he Rams have also added ex-Ram Dick Bass to the broad casting team. I t is conceivable th at the Rams are doing this to scotch the feelings of the Black community in California about the shabby treatm en t of James “Shack” H arris and the eventual trade of th e N F L 's No. 1 paaaer.
