1714 JFK Blvd. (Philadelphia) 215-567-1760 "st 6950 Norwitch Drive (Philadelphia) 215-492-2760 By Bill Simmons LONG POND, Pa. Before start of yesterday's seventh annual Schaefer 500, A. J. Foyt said he didn't much care what happened.

"For the first time in my life, I am going into a race that I don't care whether I win or not," said the 42-year-old four-time Indianapolis 500 winner who has been the center of a raging controversy here most of the past week. Pretty tough stuff for a guy who, until he won that fourth Indy crown a month ago, said that winning was everything and second place wasn't worth a damn. Well, it's a good thing for Foyt that he didn't care because the six-time national champion finished the Schaefer 500 as a spectator. After starting from the pole position and leading 26 of the first 60 laps, Foyt and his bright orange Gilmore-Coyote-Foyt began to fall Finally, on the 118th of the 20 0 scheduled laps, Foyt pulled into the pits and headed for his garage. A burned piston had finished him for the day.

But that wasn't the worst part of his day. At the pre-race driver introductions, the crowd gave him a lusty booing. And, when he coasted into the pits the last time, the fans ku 408 Saw M'" 70 (Cherry Hill) 609-795-5544 Route 38 (Mt Hollyl 609-267-2455 y) iffTfflffiflrfiTffii cheered his departure heartily. Mario Andretti, who has been plagued by bad luck on the United States Auto Club's Championship Trail for the last eight thought for awhile yesterday that it. was changing for the better.

Three-fourths of the way through the 200-lap chase around Pocono International Raceway, Andretti and his Cam-2 McLaren-Cosworth were in the' lead and looking good. "I figured I had it made," said Andretti, a two-time winner on this" year's Formula One Grand Prix circuit and a strong threat for the World Championship. "I knew the fuel (supply) was close, but it was good." Fuel didn't turn out to be his problem. Failed brakes and a cut tire 11 laps later left him more than a lap behind. Only a couple of breaks on later caution periods enabled him to get close at the end.

"Yes there is satisfaction in the team finishing one-two," said Andretti whose $48,000 second-place prize boosted the Penske Team's earnings past the $130,000 mark for the day. "You have to give them (the crew) a lot of credit, especially with the problems we had. I ran the hell out of it (the car) all day." Janet Guthrie, who finished 24th here last year in her first USAC 500-mile race, fared a little better this time around but not much. After several stops to try and fix sick engine in her Bryant-Ljghth-ing-Offenhauser, the car was finally withdrawn on the 105th lap of the race when she was 28 laps in arrears. The physicist antfformer astronaut placed 17th and was one of 26 cars that weren't running when the checkered flag waved.

Of the seven that were, only Tom Sneva and Andretti were on'the same lap. STP teammates. Gordon John-cock and Wally Dallenbach were credited with third and fourth, respectively, both lap down. Fifth place went to Johnny Ruther- ford's Citicorp McLaren-Cosworth, which was seven laps off the pace after a long pit stop after the halfway point to replace a broken intake manifold on the engine.

I CALL MARY ANN AT THE ARMY RESERVE Otr A At 7M ed in the second turn and the yellow came out for the final time. This enabled Andretti to circle the track and get back within range of Sneva's Norton Spirit. When the green came out with four laps, dretti began closing the gap slightly.

"But there wasn't enough time," Andretti said. "I would have needed 10 more laps." Sneva averaged 152.931 miles per hour but 39 caution laps kept him from challenging the race record of 156.701 set three years ago by Johnny Rutherford. Most of those yellow flags came in the early going as car after car fell victim to mechanical woes. There were five cautions in the first 45 laps and by 80 laps, more than half of the 33-car field was on the sideline. At the end, only seven were running, which tied a 500-mile attrition record set here in 1973.

And, as happy and satisfied as Sneva wask the victory was perhaps more important to Penske. "We're back together as a team," he said. "When you finish one-two, what more could you ask?" "I could stand on the brakes and nothing would happen. When I came in that time, I was pumping away like mad trying to get them to work. But right away I knew I wouldn't make it." Still, the 1969 Indianapolis 500 winner's bid for his first USAC victory since the spring of 1973, was not completely lost.

With 15 laps of the 2Vj-mile trioval track remaining, Sneva appeared home free for his second victory of the season and the third in his three years with Penske Racing. But, on lap 187, Mike Mosley crashed into the second turn wall and brought out the seventh yellow flag period of the race. Mosley was sent to Allentown Sacred Heart Hospital with neck and back injuries and a concussion. He had movement in all limbs and was conscious and was listed in guarded condition. It took seven laps to clean up the debris, but the maintenance crew missed a piece.

The green came out on 193 and Andretti immediately passed Sneva to get on the same lap. Then a piece of debris was discover POCONO, From 1-C Cosworths ran as well as they did came as something of a surprise considering that between them, Sneva and Andretti used five engines since arriving at this former spinach farm Tuesday. Andretti did have early engine troubles, which his pit crew was able to fix with a minimum loss of time, and both drivers had trouble with their brakes. Sneva was better able to cope with those problems and that, more than anything else, made the difference for Andretti put his Cam-2 Special in front for the second time on lap 154 when Wally Dallenbach brought his STP-Wildcat-DGS in for a routine pit stop. Seven laps later, however, Andretti cut a tire and came in for a change.

His failing brakes couldn't stop him in time, however, and he had to go back out and make another complete circuit before pitting again. By the time he got back on the track, Andretti was more than a lap behind Sneva. "I had practically no brakes at all," said the 37-year-old local hero.

Kennedy, who was 64, died of cancer. Kennedy was the 49-year-old mayor of Stamford, when he was chosen to replace 73-year-old Marice Podoloff, who retired Sept.

1, 1963. "I do not anticipate any more difference with the nine men (the number of owners in 1963) than I had as mayor of a city of 100,000 people," Kennedy said on being named commissioner. "Nobody ever looks for Utopia because you know you'll never find it."

He accomplished both. Today there are 22 teams in the league, with many games televised locally and quite a few nationally. Kennedy served as the publicity man for the league when it was known as the Basketball Association of America, from 1946-49, and for two years after it became the NBA. He also assigned game officials for two years. At various times, he was associated witn tne Harlem (iiooetrotters and Little League baseball and was a coach and official in high schools and prep schools in New England.

From 1943 to 1946 he was publicity director for Notre Dame, his alma mater. Kennedy called himself "a man for my time" during his 12 years as commissioner of the major pro basketball league. "I'm retiring because of my health and because I think this is a new era," Kennedy said in an interview about three months before he retired on June 1, 1975. "The day of the strong commissioner is over. The common draft and many other things basic to sports are being questioned and perhaps changed."
