G ra n t o f the P IL should be a strong contender for the boys crown won the last two years by powerhouse South Eugene. Earl ier this year the Grant Generals be came the first team in six years to best the Axemen by edging them in the Centennial Invitational. Grant will send a 21 -man contin gent. while South Eugene will coun ter with 16. Generals won't win many indivi dual titles, but their numbers could very well make the difference, much like U C L A in last Saturday's PA C - 10 championship. The Grant thin- clads are among the leaders in only 5 events. B ut, however, those five events could produce some 50 points. Grant's super Andy M ott is coached third in the triple jump with a best o f 46-116, but with the com petition Mot*, could easily emerge victorious. The 6-2 flyer w ill also run on both the 400-meter and the 1600-mcter relay teams. Grant's time o f 42.6 ranks second to Aloha's 42.4 in the short race and their 3:21.7 is third behind Medford (3:18.7) and Klamath (3:21.2) in the 1600. R ichard H o llis o f G ra n t is a strong contender in the high jum p where he has a best o f 6-914 and ranks fourth behind Steve Green o f Pendleton (6-11). W endell Robinson (1 4 -2 ) is our pick to win the 110-meter hurdles. R obinson, th ird -y e a r m an, from Grant needs only some good weath er to improve his times. Sunshine is predicted for Saturday and the Gen erals could very well shine, too. A sk Barry Q. / am interested in playing football again. What kind o f semi- pro leagues are there? - Marcus Robinson, Lake City, Fla. A . It is probably too late for this year, Marcus. Most semi-pro clubs play during the summer. There are some clubs in your area, such as the Panam a C ity A m erican F o o tb all A ssociation franchise and the Florida Statesmen o f the A F A . I ’ve sent you the names and addresses of people you should contact. But d o n ’ t expect to get rich playing sem i-pro fo o tb a ll. M ost players only receive around $50 a week, and if you’re injured while playing, the insurance you have at work may not cover the medical costs. Q. Is Sugar Ray L eo n ard ’s detached retina as serious as the newspapers make it seem? - Jimmy Allen, Houston, Tex. A. Yes, it is. I f Leonard were to tight again and take a heavy blow ti the eye, the retina could possibl' become detached again. M on serious damage to the retina couh lead to a loss o f sight in the eye Leonard says he’ll wait until the eyi fully heals before he fights again My guess is that he will fight again even though he does not need the money. Q Twice while reading "Ask Barry, " I ’ve seen you pick Larry Holmes over Gerry Cooney. Now that the fig h t is getting closer, and most everybody else in the media is picking Cooney, who do you stand? •- Ms. Linda Smith, Jacksonville, Ha. A. Holmes. (Got a sports question?
