Pittsburgh Press, May 27, 1980 H-5 eelers Lazar Beamin Over Chance To Make P7 jL mw-w WOLF PA.U.1 A T7 Deloplaine, who lives on the North Side. If anybody could tell Lazar how tough it is to succeed in pro football, it would be Deloplaine. Just last week, in his desperate struggle to stay in the game, Deloplaine signed with the West Virginia Rockets of the American Football Association. "He hasn't discouraged me," said Lazar of Deloplaine. "He hopes I make it, too." STEELER NOTES Defensive back Woodrow Wilson, a lOth-round selection from North Carolina State, and guard Tyrone McGriff of Florida a 12th-round pick, did not attend yesterday's workout, which consisted of two 90-minute, no-contact sessions.

Both no-shows reportedly have expressed an interest in playing in the Canadian Football League. Linebacker Rick Kirk, a ninth-round choice in 1979, was released after the day's first workout. Last year, he left the team during the first week of summer camp. Third-round draft choice John Goodman, a defensive end from Oklahoma, and fourth-round pick Bill Hurley, a defensive back from Syracuse, sustained pulled hamstring muscles in the morning practice and sat out the afternoon session. Linebacker Robin Cole, who received permission from Coach Chuck Noll to attend, was a late addition to the participants.

The camp continues with two practices today and tomorrow. team," allowed Lazar. "It's a goal I've been trying to achieve." The odds are against Lazar, to say the least, Unitas' rags-to-riches story notwithstanding. He's 5-10, 180 pounds. He was a defensive back with the Wolf Pak but gained notice for returning kicks and punts.

Those who saw him say he was an exciting performer. The Steelers will try him as a flanker. He has good speed. With the Wolf Pak, he returned 10 kickoffs for 407 yards and three touchdowns, 18 punts for 360 yards and one touchdown and had six interceptions. Former Steeler Ray Mansfield, who was commissioner of the AFC, talked his old team into giving Lazar a look-see.

"By playing last year, and playing with guys the Steelers cut, and against guys like Joe Gilliam, I feel I'm prepared for the pros. I could do pretty good, at least make the special teams my first year," Lazar said. "I'm just going to try and go out and do my best, to show all my talent, and try to beat out the other guys. I have to have the best day possible every time I go out there." His full name is Charles Thomas Lazar III, and there are a lot of Lazars rooting for him to make good. The Lazari live in Wexford, moving there only recently.

It's still a short drive to the Stadium for bis family. Lazar was there a lot last season, and went with his buddies to California for the Super Bowl. Lazar is a friend of a former Steeler, Jack By JIM O'BRIEN Chuck Lazar looked on from the stands as the Steelers defeated the Rams in Super Bowl XIV. The next time around, Lazar hopes to be playing for the Steelers when they seek their fifth National Football League championship. If Lazar makes the grade in the NFL, he'll be stealing the script from Johnny Unitas.

But even Unitas could not make the Steelers. Ever since Unitas came off a sandlot field, went from the Bloomfield Rams to the Baltimore Colts and became a Hall of Fame quarterback, nobody would dare tell a young man such as Lazar he was wasting his time trying out for the Steelers. Lazar, who played for the Wolf Pak of the Atlantic Football Conference last fall, recently signed as a free agent and was among the rookie draft choices and free igenti who reported to Three Riven Stadium yesterday for a mini-camp. It would be nice if the kid could make the club. He pw up on Middle Street on the North Side, not far from the Stadium, graduated from North Catholic High and Allegheny College and played ball for both.

He also has played softball for the Hardhats and the Pittsburgh Champions, but retired from the latter last week to give football his best shot. He had signed with the Champions for $2,000 for 64 games, but he's willing to lighten his wallet for a crack at the NFL. "This is a good chance to play for a world champion yy COLTS A 4' I ij it A Grgurich Gets Nevada Job Tim Grgurich, former bead basketball coach at Pitt, has been named an assistant at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

Kison Center Of Beanball Controversy United "ten MvnthonM "It's a shame the game had to go like that," Texas third baseman Buddy Bell said last night after the Rangers nipped California, 6-5, in a game marred by three beanball incidents. "A lot of time your emotions just take over and you can't do anything about it." California right fielder Dan Ford decided the game in the eighth inning by dropping Pat Putnam's fly ball to allow three runs to score. But the controversy began long before that.

Cell was ejected in the sixth when be charged the mound after flying out because he thonght pitcher Brace Kison bad thrown at him on the previous pitch. After the pitchers were warned by plate umpire Bill Haller, Ranger reliever Bob Babcock was thumbed on the first pitch be threw in the the seventh because the pitch went behind batter Ford. Kison then drilled Johnny Grubb in the eighth and both players went to the showers after Grubb wrestled Kison to the ground. Both benches and bullpens emptied in the BeU and Grubb incidents. "I've been in this league nine years and I ought to know when someone is throwing at me," Bell said.

Kison denied he threw at Bell. "Absolutely not," he said. Grubb, looking back on the game, said he realized Kison probably was not throwing at him, but admitted he wasn't thinking of that at the time. "You wouldn't think he'd be throwing at somebody when it put the tying run at the plate," Grubb said. "But that wasn't going through my mind at the time.

I think I just got caught up in the way the game was going." It was the 10th consecutive home loss for California. The starters have failed to go the distance in 17 straight games and Kison lost his shot when he was ejected. Graham Banks On Memory By RAY KIENZL It must have been a touring pro golfer whose brain served as the model for the first computer memory bank. Besides remembering every shot they've ever taken, the pros have the ability to soak up information every time they step on a course. It was this knack, plus countless hoars spent in sand traps with Bruce Devlin, that brought David Graham a one-stroke victory over Tom Watson in the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village.

After Watson had three-putted the 17th green, he and Graham arrived at the final hole at the suburban Columbus, Ohio, course Sunday in a deadlock for the lead. Watson hit a 7-iron and the ball hit above the pin and dribbled back to within 20 feet of the cup. Graham's 6-iron shot left him with a downhill 30-footer. That's when he dialed his memory bank. "I practiced that putt on Wednesday," said Graham.

"It looks like it breaks left, but it doesn't it breaks right. I putted it right at the left edge of the hole." The putt dropped, giving Graham a two-under-par 70 for a 72-bole total of 280, breaking the tournament record by a stroke. "David won the tournament. I didn't lose it," said Watson, giving Graham credit. Indeed he had.

After all around them had fallen back Mike Reid, third at 282, bogeyed the final hole it came down to Watson and Graham, a 34-year-old Australian who won the PGA championship last August with clutch putts in a playoff with Ben Crenshaw. And the only reason Graham was still there was because of some superb bunker play around Muirfield Village's treacherous greens. Four times Graham hit shots out of bunkers to within a foot or so of the cup, and another time he hit a chip to within two feet Nevertheless, he was one over par after 14 holes and just a face in the crowd. "I didn't feel comfortable all week putting," said Graham, who finally made one longer than two feet with a 20-footer for an eagle three at the 490-yard No. 15.

"The putts at 15 and 18 made the difference." His bunker play also helped, and he thanked Devlin for that "I used to be the world's worst bunker player," Graham said.
