Sparks Islander Goalie Heaved U.Sv Reed, freshman guard: fof fourth-ranked Arkansas, has seen very little playihg time and his cori- tribufiohs have been minimal, until Wednesday night. Then he came off the bench against streaking Texas Arkansas' No. 1 rival in the Southwest Conference to lead the Razorbacks to a come-from-behind 75-71 victory and end the Longhorns nine-game SWC winning streak. "We r.eally found a thoroughbred tonight," said Arkansas Coach Eddie Sutton. "It Was one of the guttiest comebacks I've seen." Arkansas had chipped away at what was once an It-point Texas lead, but was unable to move in front until Reed stepped in late in the game.

He hit two quick baskets to tie the score, at 65-65, and after Marvin Deiph scored the last of his points to put the Razorbacks in front, Reed added four more points to put the game away. "Arkansas is a class team," said Texas Coach Abe Lemons. "Eleven points is not any kind of lead against them, especially with the kind of players they have. The difference is the home court advantage."

Reed, averaging 1.8 points per appearance, said he was more concerned with his defensive performance than he was with scoring points. "I knew 1 had to help control their guards," said Reed. "The shots came and I took them, but offensive comes secondary. We had to play gdod defense first."

Lasorda Goes At Dizzy Pace Bucs Acquire LA Reliever PITTSBURGH (UPI)-The Pittsburgh Pirates have bolstered their depleted bullpen with the acquisition of relief pitcher Elias Sosa from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sosa, 27, who was claimed by the Pirates on waivers Wednesday, was 2-2 with a 1.97 earned run average for the Dodgers last season.

Gossage signed with the-' New York Yankees and Forster with the Dodgers. SPORTS by MICKEY HERSKOWITZ and STEVE PERKINS DOKSETT: A HARP: ROOKIE Q. What was behind the firing of Don Shinnick by the Oakland Raiders? 1 was a fan of Don's when he was a mebacker with the Colts, and I have never heard anyone knock him. Also, how could he be the first coach ever fired xy Al Davis? Didn't the Raiders have a change in coaching staffs a few years ago? Leonard Palermo, Baltimore. A.

Shinnick was, and is, a blithe spirit, and in a year when Oakland missed the Super Bowl by one game, Al Davis was offended by his casual, sometimes undisciplined ways on the sideline. In the Davis era at Oakland, no coach ever had been fired before. John Madden's predecessor in the head job John Ranch, resigned to take over in Buffalo, where he was later sacked. His old Baltimore teammates tell a story about Shinnick that captures his different drumbeat. Once, in a against Chicago, Gale Sayers broke into the clear for a touchdown, as linebacker Shinnick was dumped on the seat of his pants The films later showed Shinnick sitting there, bis eyes following Sayers, his forefinger pointed at him like a gun', going bang bang, bang.

The Baltimore coaches ran the film over and over! Q. How may rookies before Tony Doresett have scored touchdowns in the Super Bowl? Martin Weschler, Columbia South Carolina. A. When T.I), slid over the left side for the first score in Super Bowl XII, he became only the fourth rookie to reach the end zone in this cosmic event. Two others were also Cowboys Duane Thomas on a pass from Craig Morton in their 1971 loss to the Colts, and Percy Howard, on a Roger Staubach pass in the fading moments of Super Bowl The other rookie touchdown was also on a pass, Sammy White catching one from Fran Tarkenton as Minnesota fell to Oakland last year.

Q. How can Lyman Bostock sign a contract for $3 million and only get two points MVP voting? Who does the voting for the MVP? R.W,, West BJoomfield, Michigan. The obvious answer is that Bostock, as a free agent could command whatever money the high bidder was willing to pay In this case, the California Angels landed the ex-Minnesota outfielder, for a package considerably less than the figure you quote, bwt far more than you would expect for a player who finished behind 26 others in his league in the MVP balloting With a average, Bostock finished second in the hatting race to his teammate, Rod the winner of the MVP award. Three baseball writers from each city in the league take part in the voting, Q. I know the Minnesota Vjkings are the only team to lose four times in the Super Bowl.

My questions is, have the Vikings ever led in any of those games? Gary Fromm Richmond, Virginia. A. The Vikings have never been ahead, have yet to. score in the first half of the Super Bowl, and have been outscored by 95 HQT UNB FBKP3ACK: Concerning your item on "Bad News" Hale: i was raised jj, the Detroit area and was a rabid W-P'Jte; Tigers in the early 'afe.

From then Mm Bill kajd, afiami. Do tove a question about a Send BSTSTsw? 0 1 By TONY WOOD CHERRY HILL, N.J. (UPI) Tommy Lasorda has eaten enough rubber chicken lately to supply snowlires for all the darsinOhio. Lasorda's off-season has been a series of one-night road trips on the banquet circuit. The Los Angeles Dodgers manager has zipped across lime zones so often he's been in a constant state of jet lag.

But Lasorda does not suffer tongue lag. In fact, if there's anything UPI's National League manager of the year joves more than Dodger Blue, it's talking. "Honest to goodness, it's the first time it happened," the Los Angeles Dodgers manager recalled recently at yet another stop on the dinner circuit. "I was in New York Sunday and I left word for a 10 o'clock wakeup call to go to mass. "I couldn't remember why I wanted to be called at 10," he said.

"Did I have to catch a plane or what? Tfie first time in my life I didn't know where I was." He was a featured speaker at the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Dinner, which was a homecoming of sorts for Lasorda, who grew up in nearby Norristown, Pa. But it wasn't much of a visit; Lasorda was due to speak the next morning at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Before the dinner, he was signing autographs for anyone who asked and greeting Writers like they were old friends. "You know, it's a tremendous honor to be named UPI's manager of the year. But I would have not been a reality without the efforts of everybody in the Dodger organization," said'Lasorda, who spent 28 season as a player, scout, minor league manager and coach with the Dodgers before becoming manager in 1977.

"After I got the UPI award, I sat down and I wrote 25 personal letters to each one of the players, and to the'four coaches and the general manager. I wanted to share the award with all of them. "For a man in his first year as a manager in an organization I am so deeply proud of, to win with a team I deeply love, you don't know what it means to me," he said. And Lasorda, says things will be even better in 1978. "I'm going into this season optimistically.

We're actually going to be a little better in '78 than '77. They'll be hungry again, hungrier than they were in '77. "We're going along with the same things we did last year but we'll have (Terry) Forster in the bullpen and we'll have (catcher Jerry) Grote for an entire season and that's got to help us. "Evert, though the Reds didn't get (pitcher Vida) Blue, they'll be better," he said. "As 1 have told my players many times, 'Uneasy lies the man who wears the 126 Players Are On NFL's Agent List NEW YORK (UPI) Defensive linemen John Dutton of the Baltimore Colts and Wally Chambers of the Chicago Bears head a list of 126 new free agents announced Wednesday by the National Football League.

Every club with the exception of Tampa Bay has at least one player on the'lisl.

Dutton reported to camp last season after a contract dispute yet still managed to earn All- Conference honors. Chambers never recovered from' a knee injury after being named the outstanding defensive lineman in the league the previous season and wound up on the Bears' bench. Metcalf, the Cardinals' star running back, wants out of St. Louis and While, one of the top guards in the league, reported late to the Vikings lasl year in a contract dispute. Tatum is the Raiders' stellar free safety and Pastorini is the Oilers' quarterback and a former No.

1 draft pick. Mendenhall is a standout defensive tackle for the Giants. Two of the players on the list Joe Namath of Los Angeles and John Shinners of Cincinnati have announced their retirement. The clubs hit hardest are Houston, Washington and St. Louis.

The Oilers and Cardinals have 13 players each listed as free agents and the Redskins have 11. By JENNY KELLNER UPI sports Writer New York Islander goalie Glenn Resch couldn't remember the last time he Was thrown out of a hockey game. "Maybe it was in the minor leagues," he said. "I know It's the first time in the NHL. And I hope it's the last." The Islanders were leading by three goals in their 7-6 victory over the New York Rangers Wednesday night, when Resch's ejection came at 16:02 of the third period and almost cost them the game.

Resch skated out of the crease and wound up as the third man in a fight between Islander Stephan Persson and Ranger Phil Esposito. He was replaced in goal by Billy Smith, who was promptly scored upon twice.

ByJOEST.AMANT LOS ANGELES (UPI) A new George Allen Is the new coach of the Los Angeles Rams today with a promise of an exciting new offense and a commitment to coach and teach only and slay out of most front office activities. Allen, smiling and affable, returned to the club that fired him twice, under an earlier regime, and said he thought the Rams would have a good chance to get to the Super Bowl, a goal dear to the heart of owner Carroll Rosenbloom.

"Rosenbloom emphasized Adderly Joins Staff At Temple PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Temple University Coach Wayne Hardin has named Herb Adderlcy, a former All- Pro defensive back in the National Football League, as an assistant. Hardin, who announced other staff changes, said Wednesday that Adderley, a native of Philadelphia, will be a defensive backfield coach. Bob DiPipi. who has coached the offensive and defensive backs, has been assigned to handle the linebackers. Lary Kuharich, son of Joe a i former Philadelphia Eagle's head coach, who had coached the linebackers, will be in charge of the weight training and the off-season conditioning program.

He will also continue to coach on the field and do some scouting. Stan Freedman. a part lime assistant coach for the last three seasons, resigned to devote full time to his duties as a teacher at a local high school. Adderley, 38, attended Northeast High School in Philadelphia where he was a star in football, basketball and baseball, and was a starter for three years for the Michigan State football team. He retired in 1972 after being with the Green Bay Packers from 1961 to 1969 diiring which the Packers won five championships.

Adderley played in two winning Super Bowl games while with the Packers. After he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys, Adderley played in the 1970 and 1971 Super Bowls with that team. He played in five Pro Bowl games and seven college all star games, one as a college senior, five with the Packers and one with the Cowboys. Adderley helped broadcast the Temple games in 1974 and was an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Bell of the defunct World Football League. Allen was hired to coach and not to be general manager, which he was with the Washington Redskins.

During his seven years with the Redskins, Allen gained a reputation as a wheeler and dealer who bought experienced, players by giving up draft choices for years to come. The contract with Allen has not yet been drawn but agreement was reached on all points for a multi-year pact, flosenbloom said. He would not mention money. There will be no'giveaway of draft choices with the Rams, both Rosenbloom and Allen said at a Wednesday news conference. Allen was given the right to select his own assistants and would like to bring some former aides from Washington to the Rams.

He will take part with other members of the Ram organization in selecting players in the forthcoming college draft. Allen, natty in a beige suit with eggshell shirt and brown tie with a light stripe, looked like a man who had the world by the tail. Rosenbloom and Klosterman joked about the coach's reputation as a trader. "When we wanted a. draft choice, we went to Washington," said Klosterman.

"Now that's going to be difficult." Rosenbloom said, "He will take an active part in drafting players. It will be a refreshing experience for him to pick players in the draft." When Allen was asked the direct question if he would trade away draft choices, he replied: "No. When I went to Washington I had a big rebuilding program. The Redskins hadn't had a winning season in 14 years. We were asked to win big at once.

We won't have to use that policy here." He said the Rams have the second best personnel behind Dallas in the National Football Conference. At another point, he said; "We're going to have an interesting, exciting offense. The fans arc going to enjoy it and the players arc going to like it." Yet he was quick to add, "First of all, you win on defense. Dallas won the Super Bowl on defense." Majors' Leg Not Serious KNOXV1LLE, Tenn. (UPI) Tennessee football coach Johnny Majors was released from St.

Mary's Hospital Wednesday, where he received treatment overnight for recurring pain from a leg injury received in a skiing accident last month. His wife, Mary Lynn, said the injury was not serious. "His leg started swelling over the weekend and his doctor wanted to X-ray it for a possible blood clot," she said. "Nothing was found." Mrs. Majors said her husband tore a ligament during a vacation at Sun Valley, Idaho, and he has been on and off crutches for about a month.

Jury Can't Agree On Smith Case TAMPA, Fla. (UPI) A new trial will be scheduled for the $2.5 million damage suit by former All-Pro defensive end Bubba Smith against the' NFL and two game officials, but it won't be an instant replay. Smith's first trial, which began Jan. 23, ended up with no result Wednesday when a sixmember federal court jury said it could not reach agreement and the case was declared a mislrial. The second hearing in the case is not expected to occur before spring.

The (i-foot-8, 270-pound Smith had little comment as he left the courthouse, saying the mistrial ruling was "like going into sudden death overtime." The 32-year-old Smith contended in his suil that his football career was shortened by a knee injury he suffered in a 1972 pre-season game at Tampa Stadium, when he collided with an aluminum downs marker alter jumping a player on a play along the sideline. An all-pro player in 1970 and 1971 with the Baltimore Colts, Smith underwent surgery alter the pre-season game and missed the entire 1972 season. He was traded to the Oakland Raiders in 1973, then to the Houston Oilers in 1975. Smith was cut by the Oilers two games into the 1976 season. LOS ANGELES (UP!)
