GB Columbus sa 31 UPITelephoto AL LEVINE, 64, of Glendale, Calif, takes his Softball seriously. He plays for the Senile Sluggers in the Senior Softball League. Unfortunately the Senile club bowed to the Codgers, 21-18 Monday. ass governor wants coach Curci LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) Gov.

John Y. Brown saying "I'm tired of losing," indicated Monday he was determined to have Kentucky football coach Fran Curci fired and replace him with former Washington Redskins coach George Allen. Brown; an alumnus and life-long fan of Kentucky, said in a series of interviews in between an address to a convention of county officials that he wanted to give the Bluegrass state a winning image. "We can compete with anybody," Brown said. "It's something we owe ourselves." The governor added that he thought Kentucky "can do so much more I just want our state to reach its potential, do what it's capable of doing." Brown a millionaire fried chicken salesman and proponent of positive thinking said he was dissatisfied with UK's recent football record, including losing seasons in the last three years.

"I'm tired of losing, "he said. The governor said Allen a friend of Brown and the state's first lady Phyllis George Brown believed the Kentucky coaching job would be an "ideal situation," adding that, "Overall he's very interested." According to Brown, "I think this (the chance to hire Allen) is the best opportunity we've had since Bear Bryant (coached UK in the 1950's)." Brown, whose wife has worked with Allen as a sports commentator for Newt Photo by Vtece SUglkh, Jr. Derik Welsh, of Miami, rockets a volley back to Eric Schmidhauser during opening-day action of the Galveston Junior Open tennis tournament. Welsh bested his opponent, CBS, said Bryant "was a great influence on me." The governor, who regularly attends UK football and basketball games, said Allen also a former coach for the Los Angeles Rams could compete for top recruits because of his reputation as a successful NFL coach. "He could compete as a recruiter against any coach in the country," Brown said.

"I think it would be be great for Kentucky to have George Allen." Brown reportedly has been lobbying with UK administrators and athletic officials for six months to oust Curci, whose 8-year record at Kentucky is 44-43-2. Curci formerly coached at Miami (Fla.) and Tampa. UK's president, Dr. Otis Singletary, said in a weekend statement the university wasn't looking for a new coach. Curci has 3 years left on his five-year contract but in a switch from past years the UK athletic board voted in December against automatically extending his contract by one year.

City, Reds set to meet CINCINNATI (UPI) Cincinnati Reds President Dick Wagner Monday agreed to meet with the city administration to discuss whether a lease obligates the club to pay the city rent and other revenue despite the baseball players strike. Wagner said he and City Manager Sylvester Murray probably will discuss the issue next week. City Solicitor Richard Castellini said Monday the lease agreement concerning municipally owned Riverfront Stadium obligates the Reds to compensate the city for financial losses from any regularly scheduled home game they don't play. Murray then informed the Reds president of the solicitor's opinion, and indicated he was willing to settle the issug out of court. Chip Shots enjoys idyllic life at Pirates ByORLANDO BLACKBURN DID YOU EVER hear of a member of a golf club who never paid any dues, received free board and bed, never holed out a putt, never engaged in an argument and Is pampered and loved by everyone? Such is the case of "Spot" the mongrel mascot of Pirates golf course.

Spot just about came with the course. She was dumped on the grounds in May, 1976, when the club was just opening. Ernie Bright is probably responsible for her survival. At that time he was working in the club house. He took a fancy to the little black and white pooch, with four white feet and a few spots on the basically black base.

Bright placed her under his ample wing and took care of feeding her. No one knows her lineage but she is no purebred. She could be a cross between an Eskimo sled dog and a Mexican Chihuahua. IT DIDN'T TAKE Spot long to become a favorite with the piaying members. She likes to ride in golf carts, chase birds and romp around the course.

She never picks up golf balls on the fairway or messes up the greens. Virginia Trice, Loretta Barnes, Madelyn Kan- deline, Margaret Leatherberry and others, make it a habit of bringing Spot food. Her favorite dish is simply cheese. Most any kind will do. Rat Trap, Cammenbert, Swiss or Linberger.

Spot also goes for potato chips, Cheetoes, chunks of left over pot roast and would you believe it, cokes. WHEN IT IS a coid night Spot has sleeping privileges' indoors. Same when it rains or the sun is too hot. Recently the privileged member became ill and a collection was taken from the members to pay for her visit to a veterinarian. She had heart worms.

That was taken care of but she had to make a second trip to be sure that they had vacated entirely. Not only that, but some of her admirers pay to have her hair trimmed occasionally. I dont' know if she has been to a dentist, pediatrician or optometrist, yet, but give her is only eight years old. SPOT WILL BE on hand July 18 to greet her old friend, John Unbehagen and the scores of Propeller Club guests, when they will try to hold their annual golf tournament at the Pirates. It is rather difficult to estimate the number of guests who will come to the Propeller Club extravaganza.

However Norman Conner, one of the big blades on the propeller predicts there will be 25 foursomes. Louis Garcia is the tournament chairman. Brother, what prizes'iwill be given to the contestants There wiJJ be awards, for nearest the pin on all par 3s, longest drive on two designated holes, nearest the pin on the second shot on all par 4s, low gross and low net for members and guests. Later that evening the entertainment will, be moved to the John Sullivan home where food, fun and frivolity will be the order of the day. The propeller Club outing is sort of like Christmas, it is a good thing is comes but once a year.

Sayers'resignation as AD no surprise A A Til CTTTP SIQmnt.r. 1 1 i. CARBONDALE, 111. (UPI) Gale Sayers, who won national fame on the gridiron as a running back for the University of Kansas and the Chicago Bears, Monday announced his resignation as men's athletic director at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale effective Sept. 1.

The announcement confirmed a welter of speculation touched off by a report last week by Chicago Sun- Times columnist Irv Kupcinet that Sayers wouid quit. Sayers was reported at the time to be away from the SIUC campus on a brief vacation in Chicago and was unavailable for comment. But he met Sunday with Bruce Swinbunie, university vice president for student affairs, on the eve of the announcement. "It came as no great surprise around the campus," a university spokesman said. Sayers, 38, succeeded Doug Weaver as athletic director five years ago.

Swinburne, who was assigned jurisdiction over SIU intercollegiate athletics two months ago, said he. coast fishing survey- TUESDAY TIDES High at 5:16 am (1.4 TUESDAY SUN Rise at am, set al 8:21 pm.

Fishing slacked off Monday from this weekend's full range of activity, but there were still a few fair catches for area fisherman. Watson eyes title defense SANDWICH, England (UPI) Tom Watson arrived in Sandwich Monday to defend his British Open championship, handed the champion's silver trophy to an official and said: "Look after this for me for six days." Watson traveled the length of Britain from Dornoch in northern Scotland, last stop of a pre-Open tour of British courses to arrive at Sandwich in the southeast corner of England three days before the 110th Open begins Thursday. Winner of the Open three times in the past six years, Watson admitted "my putting is not too sharp at the moment," But he 1 said he was determined to regain the prized trophy Sunday. "He looks just in the mood to take up where he left off last year," former champion Lee Trevino said as he and Watson drove off the opening tee in their first practice round and inspection of the course. Trevino, who flew from Miami, made an early promise to the Royal St.

George's club at Sandwich. "If I win here this week, I'm going to buy this club some new lockers," he said. "Mine is so small I couldn't stand a one-iron upright in it. It says 1857 on the key, but the locker must have been made for a midget." Watson is a 4-1 favorite to retain the title, with another three-time champion, Jack Nicklaus, second favorite at 6-1. Nicklaus was forced to make an emergency landing at Mansion airport near Sandwich when he flew in from Austria, where he had played an exhibition match Sunday.

Debris had been discovered on the runway at Innsbruck airport shortly after his light aircraft had taken off from there. Nicklaus made a low run over Mansion so that airport officials could make a visual check of his plane but, amid a full emergency alert, touched down safely. At the Gulf Coast Pier, anglers were reeling in whitting, sand trout, specs and sheepshead, while the Flagship T-head reported some nice-size sand trout. Waddell's Bait Camp reported several good efforts, as John Ravovich, Ray Sharp, and Hal Cobb hauled in 18 trout. Jerry Gulley caught 17 trout and John Potter reeled in 20 trout.

All fish were in the two-to. five-pound range. accepted Sayers' resignation "with deepest reluctance." In his statement, Sayers said he was resigning because he "wished to pursue a number of opportunities in private business." Swinburne said he had no immediate plans to name Sayers' successor but added the results of a study of SIUC's athletics programs scheduled for completion in about a month and a half will have a major bearing on how to proceed. "I have worked with Gale Sayers only a little more than two months and in that short time I have gained enormous appreciation for his dedication, integrity and unselfishness," said Swinburne. He cited Sayers' efforts in beefing up SIUC's athletic fund-raising program, saying contributions totaled some $25,000 a year when Sayers arrived five years ago after serving three years as assistant athletic director at the University of Kansas, where he was an ail-American in football as a running back dubbed the "Kansas Comet." Swinburne said contributions to the athletic program last year totaled more than $80,000.

A native of Wichita, Sayers went from college football in Kansas to the pro ranks as the No. 1 draft selection of the Chicago Bears in 1965. He was a unanimous all-NFL selection from 1S65 to 1969 before he was hit by a series of knee injuries that cut short his career. Sayers led the league in rushing in 1966 and 1968 and in kickoff returns in 1968. He played only two games each in the 1970 and 1971 seasons.

He broke or tied eight NFL records during his brilliant career with the Bears. In 1977 at the age of 34, Sayers became the youngest man ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, and'Uwo years later was named to the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in New York for his college football exploits. At SIU, Sayers faced the pressure of increased, demands for funding for women's intercollegiate athletics. The university's once-noted basketball program fell on hard tim'es' and resulted this year in the resignation of Coach rv Joe Gottfried after three'years. Sayers had applied-, for jobs as athletic director at some half-dozen other schools after coming- to SIUC.
