Two Quality Players Sharing One Job 21--The Cumberland News, Friday, September Wf Manges, Dick: Story Of Similar QBs COLLEGE PARK, Md. (UPI) This is a story of two quarterbacks remarkably similar in physique, attitude and ability. Larry Dick and Mark Manges arc both seniors. Both are quality players, capable of starting at a major school. But they must share one job because both play for the University of Maryland.

As sophomores in 1975, they divided the signal calling duties, with Dick the prime architect of a Gator Bowl win over Florida. Last season, however, Dick rode the bench.with elbow miseries while Manges made a name for himself, leading the Terps to an ll-O regular season and a Cotton Bowl berth. Manges was No. 1, no doubt about it. The school publicity mill started grinding.

A potential All- America, they said. Some even suggested he would be a serious HeismaaTrophy candidate. Nflbody came right out and told Larry Dick, but he got the idea he would start the season as Manges' backup. "I realized it," he said. "With Mark being pushed for All-America.

I wondered if I fit in at all. But you must keep yourself in the right mental frame of mind." Nobody could have foreseen Dick's chance coming so soon. During the third quarter of last week's game at Clemson, a foot injury sidelined Manges with Maryland trailing, 14-7. Dick showed no rustiness, completing five of seven passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns to help pull out a 21-14 win. With Manges still hobbled, Dick will start Saturday in the lOth-ranked Terps' home opener against West Virginia.

The assignment brings inevitable questions about his revolving door relationship with the Maryland quarterback job. YankeesAcquireKingman On Rebound From Angels ANAHEIM (UPI) Well-traveled home run slugger Dave Kingman, claimed by the California Angels 10 days ago from the San Diego Padres, was dealt by the Angels Thursday to the New York Yankees, who lead the American League East by 2 games in their drive toward the pennant. The Angels said they awarded Kingman con- tract to the Yankees for an unspecified amount of cash and in addition, received right-handed relief pitcher Randy Stein from the Yankees' Syracuse club. "After a discussion this morning with Dave and his representative Lowell Morse, we felt we were not going to be able to meet Dave's contract request," said A a Manager Harry Dalton. felt it.wpuld be wise to movehim this time." Kingman appeared in 10 games for California, mired in the fourth place in the AL IXVest, collecting two home with four RBIs.

He hit with the Angels, striking out 16 times. Stein 24, posted a 7-2 record with 11 saves and a 3.77 ERA at Syracuse. His contract was assigned to Salt Lake City, The Angels claimed i a Sept. 6 on irrevocable waivers from' the Padres for $20,000. At the time, Dalton said of Kingman, "with that kind of power and run production.

we wanted a chance to see if Ex-Big Leaguer Jim Sunning Is Council Hopeful CINCINNATI (UPI) Former major league pit- cher Jim Bunnlng is going into local politics. Running, 45, who spent 16 years in the majors with the Philadelphia Phillies and other teams, has filed to run this fall for a seat on the suburban Ft. Thomas, city council. "He was approached by some citizens and asked to run," said Running's wife, Mary. "We thought about it and prayed about it a great deal and finally we decided, he should run." i is a vice president of a Cincinnati stocks and bonds firm.

could sign Dave and make him part of our 1978 team." The Yankees will be the fifth team for Kingman in seven major league seasons. The former University of Southern California slugger played for the San Fran- cisco Giants, New York Mets and Padres before becoming an Angel. The 28-year-old, 6-6, 210- pound Kingman played with the Giants for three seasons, but had not been playing regularly, and did not sign a contract with the Giants the following season. San a i sold Kingman to the Mets for about S150.000. "I just felt.

I was getting nowhere," Kingman said at the time. With the Mets, Kingman slugged 36 home runs in 134 games in 1975 and 37 in 123 games 'last season. But Kingman failed to sign a contract and Mets board chairman M. Donald Grant dealt him to the Padres. ACCNetters Host Quad, If Weather Holds As of last night, the quad- rangular tennis tournament featuring Allegany Com- munity College against a trio of four-year schools was "on." But the weather- man may be a factor in canceling the show.

Coach Glenn Workman's Trojans, who opened last Friday with a quadrangular victory over Potomac State, Charles and Essex community colleges, were to host David Elkins of Elktas, St. Francis of La- trobe, and American U. of Washington starting this morning at both the ACC and Cumberland Country Club courts. Unless rain interferes, the final matches will be staged today at 3:30.

Club pro Carroll Roggs reminds members of the club's pro-am set for Sunday starting at 8 a.m. First of all, Dick would like you to know he has no regrets about coming to College Park, despite the ups and downs. Also, he has no gripes about the way Coach Jerry Claiborne has handled the situation. "I've come to a piece of mind about said the 6- foot-3 native of nearby New Carrollton. "The coaches have a thousand different decisions to make, and that includes choosing a quarterback.

It's not good to have two or three different quarterbacks. You need one man for the team to rally around. "The coach made the decision to give the job to Mark on the basis of the good year he had last year. It's his job to make that decision. I just have to try to prove him wrong." But pardon Larry Dick for thinking some very human thoughts about the amount of national media scrutiny Manges has received.

"Yeah. I think about it sometimes," he admitted. "That could have been me. I don't see much he's ac- complished that I couldn' have Statistics support that contention. Both Manges and Dick have completed 57 per cent of their career passes for an average gain of just under 14 yards.

The biggest discrepancy is in interceptions, where 6 per cent of Manges' passes have been picked off, compared to just 1 per cent of Dick's. Dick is confident of his ability, but he won't let his friendly rivalry with Manges escalate into something that could divide the team. Claiborne fears that possibility so much he doesn't like to talk about the situation. "Mark has gone through much the same thing as me," said Dick. "We have mutual respect for each other.

I'm rooting for Mark when he's on the field, and I'm sure he's rooting for me. "Sure, I'd like to start every game, but my main goal is to help us win the national championship, go un- defeated and win a major bowl game." The words were those of a man who fully realizes the revolving door could make a few more spins between now and the end of the season. release at will Houston Downs San Francisco By 6-3 Score When you Ye good, people notice.
