Idaho (AP) Michigan State University assistant basketball coach Don Monson was one of three finalists for the University of Idaho coach's job who toured the campus Thursday. The others were Denny Huston, University of Washington assistant coach, and Grand Canyon College Coach Ben Lindsay of Phoenix, whose teams took two NAIA national championships. THE UNIVERSITY'S selection committee had been scheduled to decide on a recommendation on Friday but has put its meeting off until next week.

Athletic director Bill Belknap and University President Richard Gibb will decide who gets the job.

By FRANK BROWN AP Sports Writer Bobby Grich set a major league record for second basemen with a .995 fielding average in 1973. He tied the record for fewest errors at his position that season, committing five in 940 chances.

There are other such numbers statistics that make it more puzzling to think that Thursday night, for the second night in a row, a Grich error led to a California Angels loss. "OBVIOUSLY, HE is having his problems." said California Manager Jim Fregosi after Boston beat his An-gps 8 6 and for the second night in a row scored the winning runs without a base hit. "Grich has agreed he has to take a rest." It seems most of the Angels could use a rest. They made three ninth-inning errors Wednesday night and handed the Red Sox a 4-2 triumph. They made two more Thursday, gift-wrapping Boston's 8-6 victory and throwing away a chance to pull even wit Kansas City in the American League's West Division title chase.

KELLY SAID the Capitals will bolster their lineup with the addition of linebacker Ray Went and linemen John Brown and Ray Vanover. "They played last season, and haven't been able to join us until this week," Kelly said. "It should enable us to make some moves we haven't been to before and it should give us more experience, especially Went, who is an outstanding linebacker. That's the area Columbus hurt us in last time." It'll be Kids Night at the game.

In last Saturday's 19-6 loss to Indianapolis, owner Russ Kelly said, "We made it easy for them. We gave them the ball three times on fumbles. Our defense has been playing fairly well, but we haven't been able to put both ends of our game together. When our offense gets going, our defense flops, when the defense plays well, our offense has problems." The Capitals get a second shot at the Columbus Metros at 8 p.m. Saturday at Sexton High's Memorial Stadium.

IN THE July 15 meeting, Columbus piled up 460 yards total offense in ripping the Capitals 40-0. Caps' quarterback Greg McKay was sacked eight times and the Metros' defense held the Caps to minus 26 yards total offense. Columbus owns a 4-1 record and trails unbeaten Kalamazoo (6-0) in the South Division, and stands a game ahead of Indianapolis (4-2).

He said reports from Los Angeles that the IOC has made a concession on this point are inaccurate. "NEGOTIATIONS ARE proceeding, and we are trying to see if there is a way of meeting Los Angeles in its difficulties," Killanin said. "But the rules of the Olympic Charter have to be observed. The difficulties with Los Angeles involve Rule 4." Rule 4 says the host city and the national Olympic committee of the host country shall be jointly responsible for running and financing the Games. Two weeks ago Don Kane, president of the U.S.

Olympic Committee, told Los Angeles the USOC would be ready to guarantee a financial loss if the Games are held in the Califomian city. IOC SOURCES have said there is no basic objection to this, provided both Los Angeles and the U.S. Olympic Committee sign a contract. Reports from Los Angeles said Don Miller, executive director of the USOC, and John C. Argue, leader of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, reported a breakthrough in the negotiations over financial responsibility.
