SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1981- THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR SEC. 4 PAGE 9 ix road races out of 13 dates 1 'SJ? CART schedule a big one a CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO Racing 1 earns wm announce an ambi-ilious 1982 schedule Monday in rNew York City with the promise of three tracks never before seen by Indy cars. Of the 13 races expected to be flamed, six are of the road course w-uvariety and a trio of those are the new 'jstops on the million-dollar PPG Industries World Series trail. Cleveland's airport course is the, can't make. Sounds like Andretti may stay in Formula One.

The five month 1981 Indy winner tested Gordon Kimball's latest Wildcat at 197 miles an hour last week at the Speedway It was reported in this space a week ago that Steve Robey was leaving Jim Hall's team to chief for Bobby Hillin. Not true. Robey will again be Johnny Rutherford's wrench, but right now it's a lonely job because just about everyone else has left the Chaparral camp. Biggest loss is probably reliable engine man Mike Fanning, who's headed for Dan Gurney's stable If Bill Alsup fields his own car in '82, ex-Bobby Unser chief Laurie Garrish is said to be his choice. jcy 4 mi: aW against them, CART has left mid to late June open and that makes one wonder if the USAC-loyal Pennsylvania tri oval may be back in the fold.

Especially since Pocono's Joe Mattioli was at CART's Phoenix finale. MECHANICAL CHAIRS: There's been a major shakeup at Pat Patrick's locally based stable. Ron Baddeley, who wrenched for Pete Halsmer in '80, has moved in to take over as Mario Andretti's chief in place of George Huening. In turn, Huening will now be Gordon Johncock's chief as Mark Bridges, Johncock's conscientious mainstay for six years, is leaving to run Jack Rhodes' operation. Also, Steve Krisiloff has been hired as a mechanic and will drive a third car at Indy in addition to other shows Mario WOLVERINE TOUGH OUTSIDE PURE COMFORT INSIDE There's a little of the beast in every pair premium boots constructed to really "take it." But the inside story is one of pure luxury.

JERRY SNEVA Sneva, Mahler new Indy team Jerry Sneva and John Mahler have joined forces for the 1982 Indy car season. Sneva, the 1977 Indianapolis 500 rookie of the-year from Spokane, will be the No. 1 driver on the PWS Racing Team based here in the first of the newcomers and it will be a July 4 special.

Elkhart Lake, a gear-shifters' paradise for many years, is slotted for Sept. 11 and Las Vegas will bring the class of open-wheeled racing together on Oct. 17. The season opens March 28 in Phoenix and closes there on Nov. 7.

Milwaukee has two dates (June 6 and Aug. 1) and so does Michigan, with the second Norton 500 set for July 17 and a return on Sept. 26. BESIDES INDY, the other oval-track test will be believe it or not -at Atlanta on April 25. Despite pitiful crowd turnouts the past three years, CART is heading back into NASCAR-land, but the American Speed Association's stockers will go along in an effort to try and warm up the cold shoulders.

Riverside, which replaced Ontario this year and had an excellent audience, is slated for Aug. 29 and Mexico City's third consecutive show will go Oct. 31. Mid Ohio, the picturesque road course in Lexington, Ohio which has hosted United States Auto Club races in previous years, is CART's territory on Aug. 15.

Jim Trueman, the Mid-Ohio owner who drives Can-Am cars, is going to be fielding an Indy team for Bobby Rahal and this certainly helped CART get in the door. Indy cars ran at Elkhart Lake in BOB HURT, paralyzed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1968 while practicing, is headed for Sweden in a couple of weeks to undergo a radical new laser operation. Hurt, who'll be one of eight people risking a surgery tried only on primates in the past, told Indianapolis News motor-sports writer Dick Mittman, "I don't feel like I'm being used as a guinea pig but this operation will be most dangerous." The 42 year-old resident of Daytona Beach, Fla. has recovered a tremendous amount of nerve feeling after special surgery in Russia (twice) and Canada during the past six years but still can't even use a walker George Jansons, critically injured at Winchester last month in an outlaw midget race, has come out of his coma and may be able to go home to Michigan by Christmas. He's in room 651 at Methodist Hospital And Danny Ongais, seriously injured last May, is entered to drive a Porsche in the IMSA finale next weekend at Daytona.

A test day is planned Nov. 25 to see if Ongais is ready to return Darrell Waltrip edged Rick Mears by four points to win the Olsonite Driver of the Year for 1981.

Jury still pondering in point shave trial New York (AP) A Brooklyn federal court jury failed to reach a verdict Saturday after a second day of deliberations in the Boston College point-shaving trial. The jurors concluded deliberating charges against former B.C. basketball player Rick Kuhn and four others shortly after 6 p.m. and were dismissed until 10 a.m. Monday.

The eight-woman, four-man jury returned to U.S. District Judge Henry Bramwell's courtroom several times during the day to hear testimony. Parts of the judge's charge was read back to them, including a portion of the charge dealing with what constitutes a conspiracy. Defendants Kuhn, brothers Anthony and Rocco Perla and Paul Mazzei, all of the Pittsburgh area, and James Burke of New York City, are charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering and sports bribery.

Last month's Caesar's Palace Grand Prix was a financial success, but somebody decided (wisely) that Indy cars would be a much better partner for Formula One than the Can-Am was.
