PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEWS, Huntingdon, Mount Union and Saxton, August 12, 1980 Garveys Win Stay In Court LOS ANGELES (DPI) -The Los Angeles Herald Examiner was blocked by court order Monday at least for a week from publishing excerpts of a sports magazine article about the private lives of Dodgers baseball player Steve Garvey and his wife, Cyndy, which they claim is libelous. "This decision is an attempt to handcuff the press," said Herald Examiner Publisher Francis Dale, whose newspaper had planned to print the first excerpt the same day. "We won't tolerate it and we will fight through the courts to clear our access to publishing the story." First baseman Garvey, 31, and Cyndy, 30, also have claimed the article titled "Trouble in Paradise" is malicious and their quotes were taken out of context. U.S. District Judge Robert Kelleher granted a restraining order against publication of the excerpts Monday.

He had declined to issue the order last Friday. He also ordered the four- hour taped interviews with the Garveys be flown to him from New York so he could listen to them and have a transcript prepared for the attorneys by noon Friday. Kelleher scheduled another hearing Aug. 18 on the Garvey's application for a preliminary injunction to extend the barring of publication. The article by free-lance writer Pat Jordan appeared in the current issue of Inside Sports, published by Newsweek, defendants in the $11.2 million lawsuit brought by the Garveys.

The suit charges breach of contract and covenant of good faith and fair dealing, libel, placing the plaintiffs in a false light and invasion of the constitutional right to privacy. The Garvey's said they consented to be interviewed by Jordan for a "favorable, positively written story on the special challenges of being married to a well-known athlete." The Garveys claim they are happily married but the article was written in such a way as to make readers believe they were "suffering marital discord and problems." Newsweek attorney William Masterson said, "I object to the entire process," and added he could not vouch for the whereabouts of the interview tapes. He said he intends to take the judge's ruling to the 9th District Court of Appeals. Newspaper lawyers said the ruling was "a classic case of prior restraint." Garvey, commenting briefly, said, "We're very happy with what transpired today and that's the only statement we can make." The Garvey's attorney, Alan Rothenberg, said the couple wanted to prevent serialization of the story because of alleged physical and emotional harm it had caused for the Garvey family. Rothenberg claimed that Mrs.

Garvey had been physically assaulted and obscene material had been left in her mailbox as a result of the article. byMAILANDMclLROY It Too Soon How did we ever get so fouled up? You don't have to be on Medicare to remember when scholastic sports seasons were more sensibly outlined. But somewhere along the line in Pennsylvania, we've got the thing so far out of whack it's a wonder kids even give athletics a tumble any more. Look at the calendar. Yesterday was August 11.

The temperature and the humidity even kept the 'dogs off the street. It was too hot for mosquitos to land anywhere. But in this area, 250 or more youngsters and thousands more like them across Pennsylvania were toiling four hours or more during the first official day of pre season football practice. What ever happened to summer vacations a kid was supposed to have as part of his growing process? The start of practice is governed by the first playing date on the schedule. The PIAA, which sets all the guidelines, says teams must have three full weeks of practice before the opening game.

That's good. But does the first game have to be in August? Classes have not even started yet. "Who's the kid playing end?" classmates say on opening night. "Must be a transfer, I can't remember him from any of my classes last year," comes the answer. And it's not just football players who have to give up nearly a whole month before school starts.

Think about the band members and the cheerleaders, too. Football is a demanding sport, perhaps the most demanding of all. It's tough enough for coaches to assemble a dedicated squad in the best of conditions, but to ask a 15 year old 135 pounder to weigh himself down with another 30 or 35 pounds of equipment when it's 94 in the shade gets a little far out. True, this has been an unusually hot month. The worst on record in the last 14 years say the men who watch those sort of things.

But the heat is only part of it, the season throughout the scholastic year needs an overhaul. If a youngster follows the coach's "voluntary" training schedule during the spring and summer, does agility work, runs for stamina and lifts weights for strength, by the time early November rolls around it's been a pretty long grind. So what's the rush? Well, the seasonal guidelines say that basketball and wrestling are going to start about a month before Thanksgiving, and schools are growing more and more dependent on a hard corps of athletes who seem to carry the load in several sports. Many of you can remember when Huntingdon and Mount Union played their big football game on Thanksgiving. And then there is a mad rush in February and March to get the state basketball and wrestling tournaments over with all possible speed.

Never mind that the two championships have been cheapened by wide open fields and double-eliminations, speed is the thing. Even at this pace, the weatherman still calls the shots on spring sports and usually things don't get into high gear until mid April or later. In baseball, the scholastic season is about wrapped up by mid May and the state playoffs are not staged until the second week in June. So what's the rush? It's time for PIAA took a realistic look at its seasonal guidelines and starts considering the athletes instead of the calendar. And while the powers that be are mulling that over, maybe they ought to take a look at what's happening this week.

We think it's time the PIAA tears a page out of the college rule book and requires football teams to work the first several days in pre season in tee shirts and shorts, no pads or heavy equipment. If we're going to follow this suicide schedule in Pennsylvania, let's at least try to inject some common sense into the thing. Sideline Shots Juniata College's footballers are scheduled to arrive on campus August 27 and then work three days in shorts without pads under first year coach Rob Ash. Eighteen starters will be among the 29 lettermen when Ash installs the Veer offense for the first time on College Hill. The Indians will have three weeks to master the new system before appearing at C.

W. Post, a Division II powerhouse in recent years. Union's John Helton continues to tear up the pea patch in the Canadian Football League despite the fact he's playing with a weak entry. Helton, who has won a pair of Schenley Awards as the outstanding lineman in the CFL, appears periodically on the Eastern Sports Network telecasts. He still is drawing double and triple coverage from opposing teams.

Raugh former Central High football and basketball standout, is scheduled to alternate at starting tight end for West Virginia this fall. The 6 3, 210-pound sophomore earned a letter as a freshmen on the varsity last fall when he was the third leading receiver with 11 catches for 138 yards. He'll share the starting role with another sophomore tight end and could be used as a messenger from the bench if the Mountaineer coaches go that route. hard to figure sometimes. The higher you climb, the bigger the fall.

Consider the fact that Juniata College's public relations department has won about every national award possible for its sports publications (eight of them this past year). Yet we're told the football media guide, certainly one of the best in the nation at an division level, will be trimmed in half this fall for budgetary reasons. talent often runs deep in some families. Like the Sichlers of State College where C. J.

Sichler already has the pros on his trail even though he's a junior in high school.

Area fans may remember C. J. belted a dramatic homer in the final inning to nip Huntingdon 7-6 in Area Five championship game in Huntingdon in 1978 When St.

Francis College opens its football practice on August 17, assistant Jerry Roberts will supervise the workouts. He'll be filling in for Art Martynuska, head coach and athletic director, who is recovering from a heart attack. The sidelined head coach hopes to rejoin the Frankies in some capacity in early September. Simononis, who set 11 records in three seasons with Penn State's baseball team, will pass up his senior year with the Nittany Lions. Simononis has signed on with the Detroit Tigers and is playing with Bristol, of the Appalachian Rookie League.

He's batting .296 since joining the team. At Penn State, Dave was the school's top slugger in history and once had 43 hits, 47 RBIs and an average of .475 in 25 games Fran Fisher, the voice of Penn State football, is looking for a new partner for his grid broadcasts. Veteran Jim Tarman has shared the mike with Fisher for a number of years, but he will be involved in athletic department administrative duties on football weekends since Joe Paterno (the athletic director) is also tied up Saturdays. There was some talk Bob Prince would join Fisher in the booth this fall and also the name of former Lion tackle Mike Reid was heard. However, both of these rumors have been just that rumors Ron Bracken has been named sports editor for the Centre Daily Times and Dave Brown has been named assistant sports editor.

Both are veterans of the Central Pennsylvania sports scene, and Bracken had a brief fling as editor of the now defunct Roar Magazine We hear some Penn State football coaches want to use the stadium drawings of Huntingdon's Tom Mosser on Christmas cards this year.

Sportsmen's Year By FRANCIS KEMP Close Start The Swedish 12-meter yacht Sverige (right) and France III were neck and neck after a close start in their race as part of the elimination trials for foreign challengers in America's Cup off Newport.

(UPI Photo) Face to Face Nations have confrontations and when that happens, one must back down or trouble results. Bears and other animals do come face to face with humans and if a man does not know how to handle the situation, he can be in deep trouble. Legends from pioneer days tell about frontiersmen "grinning" bears out of trees. The old-time hunter locked the bear in a steel trap stare and finally the bear looked aside and dropped. I know of no member of our generation who can pull that trick (with the possible exception of Jimmy Carter, who has practiced his grin on elephants).

To be practical, what does a housewife do when she comes face to face with a bear when she goes out at night to empty the garbage'? Don't laugh this is a real problem and has happened in many Raystown Country homes. Our advice is to drop the garbage and got back into the house. Make no sudden movements. Scaring a bear from your property is easy. Just get a large pan or kettle and beat on it with a spoon.

The more noise, the better. The racket will generally cause the bear to leave. If, however, the bear gnashes and grinds its teeth, walk backwards slowly; he may be preparing to charge. Meeting a bear while hiking is different. A bear can outrun and outclimb a man Backing away slowly while talking to the bear works most of the time.

Don't shout because this will only excite the animal. When in bear country, carry a small bell attached to your clothing; if you are not alone, talk to your companion. Most bears will walk around you and you will never know you are sharing the forests with them. Cavanaugh Leads 35-31 Victory Against Rams Matt Cavanaugh will always remember the Los Angeles Rams first game in Anaheim. Backup quarterback Cavanaugh completed 20-of-34 passes for 350 yards and four touchdowns Monday night, including a 39-yard scoring strike to Carlos Pennywcll with 1:10 remaining in the game, to lift the New England Patriots to a 35-31 victory over the Rams in the preseason opener for both teams.

Trailing, 31-28, New England began its winning drive from the Rams' 49-yard line. Cavanaugh hit Don Westbrook with an 8-yard pass and, following a penalty to New England, Cavanaugh connected with Pennywell in the end zone over Lucius Smith. Cavanaugh, a third-year veteran from Pittsburgh, also thresv touchdown passes of 6 yards to Stanley Morgan, 34 yards to Don Hasselbeck and 40 yards to Preston Brown. The performance by Cavanaugh overshadowed the passing of Los Angeles backup quarterback Vince Ferragamo, who completed 9-of- 11 passes for 196 yards and also passed for four touch- downs. In the only other game played Monday night, Tampa Bay defeated Houston, 21-7.

Tampa Bay running back Jerry Eckwood teamed with Issac Hagins on a trick 61- yard halfback pass for a touchdown and the Buccaneers defense stopped Houston Oilers cold in the second half to highlight the Hues' victory. Houston quarterback Ken Stabler, making his debut for the Oilers, completed 9-of-15 passes in l'-j quarters and directed an 81-yard drive leading to a game-tying touchdown midway through the second quarter. Tampa Bay, whose defense held Houston to one first down in the second half, took the lead for the second time on halfback Rick Burns' 3-yard touchdown run with 4:40 to play in the third quarter. Before the Houston-Tampa Bay game, Oiler all-pro linebacker Robert Brazile approved a renegotiated 1980 contract and ended a week's walkout from training camp. In other NFL news, Seattle cornerback Cornell Webster and Oakland tight end Raymond Chester returned to camp and Detroit defensive tackle Doug English told team officials he will not play this season.

Webster, a fourth-year cornerback, returned to the Seahawks' camp after leaving for personal reasons. But another defensive back, Keith Simpson, refused to come back until his contract dispute is settled. Elsewhere, Philadelphia Coach Dick Vermeil said rookie tight end Ken Dunek of Memphis State may have earned himself a starting position svith his fine performance against the Buffalo Bills Saturday. Injuries to Keith Krepfle (shoulder separation) and John Spagnola (digestive problems) gave Dunek his chance. Falcons Lose Legion Takes First By 11-9 The championship finals of the Huntingdon City Baseball League got under' way last evening with American Legion winning the opener in its best-of-seven series with South Side by a score of 11-9.

Legion, which finished first in the regular season standings with a record of 14-4, has won the league crown four times, the last in 1977. South Side, the second place- team this year with a 13-5 regular season log, has won 20 titles, the last one coming in 1978. The Siders opened the scoring with a pair in the top of the first on a two-run homer by Dave Shaul. Legion answered in the bottom of the inning with two scoring on a Mark Everhart single. South Side added a single tally in the second and two in the third to take a brief lead but Legion posted six in the bottom of the third and never trailed again.

Everhart again had a tsvo-run single. Jim Shook started and got the win for Legion with relief help from Everhart. The two allowed 11 hits. Jeff Crotsley went the distance, also yielding 11 bits, in the loss. Game-two of the best-of- seven series will be played at Blair's Field this evening.

(UPI) Atlanta Falcons veteran wide receiver Wallace Francis has been sidelined about two weeks because of an ankle injury, team officials said today. Francis' loss would be a blow to the Falcons because he caught a team-record 74 passes last year and was off to a good start this year in the club's first exhibition game. It was Francis who scored the Falcons' lone touchdown in the 14-10 loss to Seattle Thursday on a 46-yard pass from quarterback Steve Bartkowski. Team officials said Francis, who injured his ankle when he fell on it after making an awkward turn during a routine passing drill Sunday, would likely miss Friday night's home exhibition opener against Pittsburgh and the following week's game in San Diego.

Vets Cop 4-3 Win In Teener In the first game of the Huntingdon Teener League championship finals, VFW, the regular season champ, grabbed an early lead with a 43 victory over Elks last evening. Elks got on the board first with single tallies in the first, second and third. Mike Sellers tripled in one in the first and doubled home one in the third. The Vets came back with two in the fourth on a Barry Foster triple then clinched the win with two more in the sixth. Foster picked up the win in relief with Mark Carman suffering the loss, also in relief.

Open title," said Borg, who practiced Monday for his first- round match today at the Canadian International Tennis Championships. In the past, Borg has said "it would be nice to win the U.S. Open." Invoking his customary low-key style, he would even say he wanted very much to win that title. But now, with as much emotion as the Swede deigns to reveal in public, he admits "I want it badly." And that is what this Canadian event is really all about. For the past two seasons the Canadian tournament, which features a hard rubberized surface, much like that on the courts at the U.S.

Open at Flushing Meadows, N.Y., has been Borg's tune-up event. For two years now Borg has taken a respite from the tour just before the Canadian event. Last year it was two weeks. This year it was a four- week rest which began after his historic five-set victory over John McEnroe brought him an unprecedented fifth Wimbledon title. In the intervening span Borg also married Romanian tennis pro Maria Siminoescu.

Borg scoffs at the idea that the marriage or the layoff may affect his game'. This, after all, is the man with the reputation for playing like a machine and a proven history of accomplishing everything by careful premediation. "My life really operates in two separate sections tennis, and all the other stuff None of the top-seeded players saw action Monday.

In the opening round, Robert Van'thoff, an unranked Dutchman who now resides in New York, stunned seventh-seeded Raul Ramirez of Mexico, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3). Canada's national tennis campion, Greg Haider, also pulled off a minor upset by defeating 15th-seeded Bruce Manson of Fort Worth. Texas, 3-6, 7-6, (9-7), 6-4.
