SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 1 WOMEN'S TRACK BYU Romps, ISU Takes Second By GEORGE GREEK Journal Sports Editor Brigharn Young's women's track team just didn't put out in Friday afternoon's i which initiated Davis Field. ilidn'l have to The competition just wasn't there. The Cougars, led by Magda Villarreal's three gold medals and a strong anchor leg on the winning 440-yard relay, rolled up to outscore Idaho State and Utah State combined by a wide margin. Idaho State opened its season with second place and 42 points and USU tallied 25.

Villarreal, a Texas lass, stole the show with victories in the long 18-; her best effort of the season, 220 (26.6) and 100 (10.5)--all on a sore ankle and all with apparent ease. "I didn't do that well in the 220," Ms. Villarreal said of an event in which she beat her nearest opponent by five yards. "I can run 25.5. In the long jump 1 scratched on a jump of 18-7'2.

1 jumped 19 feet last year." And she admitted that she didn't push herself in the 100 but was content to take "nice strides." In all which already had three meets under its belt, captured 11 of the 16 events, including 1-2-3 sweeps in Ihe discus, 220 and 100. But there was no crowing from BYU Coach Nena Hawkes who was keeping one. eye on the future. "In time there will be something here with Kathy Hildreth coaching," Ms. Hawkes predicted.

"I competed against her when she was at UNC (Northern Colorado where the Bengal menior put together five consecutive regional championship But Ms. Hildreth something to smile about now. "One thing that I'm most pleased about is that we scored in every event we were in. And we beat Utah State for second," the Bengal boss said. "It's obvious we couldn't stand up to the depth of BYU, and they have talent too.

"It is just good to have a meet. At least we came through with that balance--(hat was a little surprising to me." The young Bengal squad, which is without a senior, did capture a pair of firsts, however, and finished 2-3-4 in the long jump. Debi Dunn, a junior from Pocatello, won the 400 meter hurdles in 1:06.8 minutes for a comfortable 40- yard margin, finished fourth in the long jump and anchored the second place 440 relay. The two-mile relay team copped the second blue ribbon, one of the most exciting events of the day, when Karen Bar- tholema held off BYU's Kim McBride, who erased a 30-yard Bengal lead. ISU nearly had a third first place in the 100-meter hurdles but Deana Nelson outleaned Peggy Austin at the tape.

The Bengals won the event but not before Ms. McBride shrank a 30-yard Bengal lead on the anchor leg.

The'victory was one of two the young Bengals recorded. (Journal photo) By The Associated Press Quarterbacks Steve Spurrier, John Hadl, Lynn Dickey and Bobby Douglass have been sent packing as the National Football League opened its swap shop with a burst of activity. The NFL lifted its ban on trading Friday and the result was a flurry of deals that would have done justice to Wall Street. Spurrier, a former Heisman Trophy winner, was sent by San Francisco to Tampa Bay, Hadl went from Green Bay to Houston, Dickey went from Houston to Green Bay and Douglass was traded from San Diego to New Orleans. Spurrier, a nine-year veteran who never i up to the promise he showed at the University of Florida, was dealt to the expansion Buccaneers for wide receiver Willie McGee, linebacker Bruce Elia and a second-round draft choice.

"We have said all along that if we traded for an established quarterback, he would have to be one who is a good athlete," said Tampa Bay Vice President Ron Wolf. "In Steve Spurrier we think we have found the right blend for an expansion team situation." The trade of Spurrier clears the way for the much-rumored trade that would send quarterback Jim Plunkett from the New England Patriots to the 49ers. Hadl, veteran cornerback Ken Ellis and two undisclosed draft choices were sent to Houston for Dickey, a five-year veteran who has spent most of his time warming the Oilers' bench behind Dan Pastorini. "Any time you make an investment like this, it's expensive," admitted Bart Starr.

The recreation department of the Bannock-Shoshone tribe has been selected as the host for the third-annual National Indian Activities Association Boxing Championships.

"This is probably the biggest sporting thing that has ever happened to Fort Hall, or ever will happen," an exuberant Mike Sakelaris, Fort Hall recreation director and tournament manager, declares. The tournament is slated for April 21-24. The first two days of boxing will be in Timbee Hall with sessions at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday's finals will, be moved' to the Pocatello High School gymnasium.

Tickets are per session for ringside, $3 general admission adult, and $2.50 general admission students. Winners of the tourney's 11 weight classes have granted automatic berths in the National AAU Boxing Championships in Las Vegas the following week, according to Sakelaris. Between 100 and 150 fighters are expected to be in the field for the championships. It will probably be the largest national Indian boxing tournament to date. Last year, 103 competed in the meet at Stewart, Nevada.

Stewart produced several individual titlists in its home ring, and is one of the favorites to advance more fighters into this year's finals. But Sakelaris predicts that a contingent of Wisconsin and Minnesota fighters may be the dominating force. Other boxing greats will descend upon the area from Montana. Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Nevada, New York, Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Some of the top names in the field will be 126-pounder Billy Turner, a Stewart, Nev.

boxer who was named outstanding fighter of the 1975 tournament; 156-pound Carmen Tobey of the Carson City, Nev. Sock boxing club, national Golden Gloves novice champion; 112-pound Herman Chapman, two-time district champion from Omaha, 119- pounder David Bodani, two-time New Mexico Golden Gloves title winner, and Gary Kenny, a 139-pound returning national champion from Colorado. "It's hard to conceive how big this thing really is," Sakelaris maintains. "Once you start running a national boxing tournament, you get great people from all over the countrv." To compete in the meet, fighters must be between 16 and 29 years old. Though no regional championship bouts are required for entry, boxers are required to submit a resume of their careers, Sakelaris said.

Three local scrappers will be among the field. The Fort Hall boxing club's Douglas Buckskin, 147, Victor Currie, 139, and Randy Divenny, 147, hope to show well before the local crowds. ANTITRUST CASE Joe Kapp Loses Court Battle SAN FRANCISCO A I Kano went for mill-on; ar.d came out with nothing in his legal battle against the National Football League. "I'm disappointed, of course, and hope it doesn't hurt the players over-all," said the former quarterback who sued the NFL and lost. A U.S.

District Court jury, which listened to more than four weeks of testimony in the an- titrust case, deliberated only six hours Friday before returning its verdict: that Kapp suffered no damages and that the New England Patriots had not breached a contract with him. "I'm very sorry for Joe Kapp, who placed too much reliance in his agent, John Elliott Cook," NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle said in New York after learning of the verdict. "It's a possible turning point for settling these matters in collective bargaining rather than in court," added Rozelle, who testified for eight hours during the trial. The NFL is being challenged in court by players on several other fronts, mostly over the controversial Rozelle Rule, and no collective bargaining agreement is in effect now. Kapp, who contended he was forced out of football in 1971 U.S.

Swimming Dominance Could Be Fading at AAU's Record Idaho State University high jumper Andy Powell grimaces as his legs glance across the bar at 6-9, ending his hopes of setting an ISU outdoor record at Saturday's track meet at Davis Field. Powell, a transfer from Downey, Calif, with a personal best of 6-10, won the high jump competition with a leap of 6-6. See story on page B-l. (Journal photo by Dave Price) Calvin Hill Now Member Of Over-the-Hill Gang' WASHINGTON i A Running back Calvin Hill, who said that at age 29 he was ready to join the Over-thc-Hill Gang, became a member of the Washington Redskins Saturday, signing a multiyear contract as a free agent. "I've always been impressed i the Redskins." said Hill, who played six years for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys before joining Hawaii of (he now- defunct World Football League last season.

"I feel good about getting with a winning team." Hill, who had his father, Henry, and his attorney, Lee Goldberg, with him at the news conference, said he had had discussions with several teams, including Dallas, but chose Washington because "I was impressed with the positive things here. "You' read and hear a lot about a football team being a family," Hill said. "Well, I've always had that feeling about the Redskins, 1 when I played against them. You can see it when they take the field to warm up. They are like a family." Hill, who said he was light at 232 pounds, will be worked at both halfback and fullback, according to Coach George Allen, but would play only one position during the regular season.

-He's a better tailback i said Allen. "We want him in the lineup." Allen declined to spell out how Hill will fit into his backfield, especially at halfback A'ith such Redskins as Mike Thomas, last year's NFL Rookie of the Year, and Larry Brown, the NFL's Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player in 1972 but who failed to recover in 1975 from off-season knee surgery. "This means more flexibility," sid Allen. "One of the things that makes a team stronger is competition at every position." Hill was more explicit, even he was i a i "When 1 was in Dallas," lie said, "the same question was asked about Duane Thomas and Walt Garrison, and Ihe year we won the championship we all played," he said.

In 1S74, his final season with the Cowboys, he carried Ihe ball 185 times for 844 He was the first Cowboy to go over Ihe mark, doing it in 1972 and 1,142 in 1973. Hill said he had recovered from a knee injury that knocked him mil of action after five games i Hawaii last year.

LONG BEACH (AP)-As the 1976 Amateur Athletic Union, i i a i i moved into the fourth day of competition Sunday it was becoming evident that the United States' recent dominance in the sport might be slipping. The latest indication that the rest of the world was catching up with the United States' swimmers came Friday night when Hungarians swept Ihe first three places in the 400-meter individual medley. The winner. Zoltan Berraszto. set a world record of 4:26.00, prompting one American coach to "Well, I guess it's back to the drawing board." Through Friday night, only 19-year-old Shirley Babashcff had carried the Americans to Duvillard Adds Feather to Cap VAIL.Colo.

A I i Duvillard, already the pro skiing champion for the season, added another victory to his count Saturday, winning the giant slalom and 54,000 in the tour stop here. The Frenchman's victory gave him 15 race wins this year of the 20races held. The tour wraps up Sunday with Ihe slalom. Duvillard beat Austrian Ed Reich in the opening round of 16 racers in the hoad-to-head competition, llu then beat Swiss Manfred Jakober in the quarterfinals and Perry Thompson, of Mammoth, in the semifinals. victory.

A handful of Americans who were favored faltered; relative and foreigners were scoring unexpected victories. Miss Babashoff captured the women's 400-meter and 200-meter freestyle events--the 200 Friday night in 2:02.54. She said, "I felt good. I could have gone faster. I tapered for about 10 days for this.

"I would have to go out in 58.5 for the first half to go under two minutes." Miss Baoasnoit swam tne first lOOin 1:00.43, and when she spoke of dipping under two minutes she was referring to her goal of smashing the world record of 2:02.27 held by East Germany's Kornelia Ender. after he refused to sign an NFL standard player contract with the Patriots, seemed to have won a key victory in late 1974 when Judge William T. Sweigert ruled in a pretrial summary judgement that several NFL rules--including the college draft and Rozelle Rule--violated antitrust laws. But the NFL lawyers argued that Kapp and Cook devised a "game plan" to sue the NFL when the Patriots asked the quarterback to sign the standard contract. Kapp joined the Patriots in 1970, leaving the Minnesota Vikings after a bitter contract dispute, and played under a memo agreement calling for 5600,000 for three seasons.

Rozelle ordered Kapp out of the Patriots' training camp in 1971 on the grounds a the collective bargaining agreement then in force required all players to sign such contracts. Sweigert told the jury in final instructions Thursday that although some NFL rules violated antitrust laws, Kapp's counsel had to show the quarterback sustained damages because of the violations.
