i i COURIEP NEWS SPOHTS EDITOR THERE.RE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS of controversy coming from Jonesboro concerning the proposed football stadium at Arkansas State University. Some parties still talk with optimism about the proposed facility while others say it is still a dream, a dream that will never be realized. The drive to raise $2.5 million has apparcnlly received two serious setbacks this summer. One came when the Jonesboro school board met with the Arkansas Slate Board of Trustees to see if Jonesboro High School could use Ihe new stadium. The answer was no, arousing the animosity of some influential Jonesboro people towards (he stadium.

The other setback carried political overtones. A large amount of the money needed for the stadium was expected to come from a generous Winthrop Rockefeller donation. However, when Joe Brooks, a Rockefeller appointee, was removed from the Board of Trustees, the former governor apparently became upset. When asked bow big his donation would be, Rockefeller supposedly gave out a number sounding very.much like zero. IT'S NO SECRET that ASU needs a new stadium to keep in step with other Southland Conference schools like Louisiana Tech, McNeese and Southwestern Louisiana.

If a new stadium doesn't come in the near future, ASU could possibly be dropped from the Southland and may have to seek admission into the AIC. With a new stadium Arkansas Stale could supposedly schedule games in Jonesboro with the likes of Texas Tech, Texas AM and Tulsa which would give the Indians a boost toward becoming a major college football team. HERE'S A FOOTNOTE about Tom Gorman, the National League umpire who started his baseball career as a pitcher for the Blytheville Giants of the old Northeast Arkansas League in 1938. As a schoolboy basketball player at Power Memorial High School in New York City, Gorman, who led the team to two city titles, set scoring records that stood for over 3d years. Gorman received 36 basketball scholarship offers but took a $620 bonus from the New York Giants.

The rest Is history. The guy who broke Gorman's cage records was Lew Akin- dor, also known as Kareem Abdul Jabbar of the Milwaukee Bucks. MORE AND MORE college football players are making Ihe trip to Canada. Former ail-American quarterback George Mira was the latest, going to Montreal this week. One player in Canada earlier this year was Jim (The King) Corcoran.

You remember him from the TV show last winter on the day of the Super Bowl, "Pro Football, Pottstown, USA." Corcoran, a quarterback, actually played In the National Football League once upon a time. He is a veteran of one NFL game. It came on the final day of the 1968 season in the Astrodome with Corcoran playing for Boston. The Pats were in the process winding up wiffc a 4-10 record by losing a 45-17 decision to Houston. Corcoran's big chance came in the second half.

Coach Mike Holovak called him over and asked what play te was to run. The King whispered a set of numbers and itters that translated into a 50-yard bomb. Holovak said the play was unworkable, never in a 1,000 ears, and substituted another, a more conservative call. The King went in, immediately called for the 50-yard bomb, mmediately threw an interception and the Oilers immediately cored a touchdown. "You know, coach," Corcoran said as he returned to Holo- ak's side, "you're right.

That play never would work in 1,000 By BILL TRIMBLE Courier News Sports Editor Bill Burleson stopped Blytheville on two hits and drove in the only runs of the game with a iifth-inning single Wednesday as Locke Plumbing of Pine Bluff nosed out the Casons 2-0 in the state American Legion baseball tournament. The game was the first of the lournament and was played at Batesville after a steady rain put the park at Newport under wafer. The schedule called for ibe game to start at 9 a.m. but first pitch was actually Ihrown two hours later after tournament officials telephoned around the Newport area in iearch of a dry field. By losing, Blytheville dropped into the loser's end of the bracket in the eight-team, double- elimination tournament.

The Ca- sons played Benlon, 17-6 losers to Fort Smith Kerwins in Wednesday's second game, this morning at 9 a.m. That loser was eliminated. Blytheville had several opportunities lo score off Burleson but the hard-throwing right- hander called on the strikeout pitch time and time again to put the damper on each potential threat. Burleson, who is only a 17- with one out. Williams followed loading the bases year-old, had 19 strikeouts and with a hard shot to right field beat Randy Smith in what was that Dean Cbambliss snared very much a pitcher's duel.

Smith, losing his first game this season against 11 wins, allowed only four hits but two Golfers Swing For Goal By J. T. WOLKERSTORFER HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) After 28Vfe hours and 450 holes golf, John Seligman winced as Gary Kaplan's dad changed the bandages on his right hand. Then the two teen-agers were off into the darkness for another round, on the way to what they hoped would be a world endurance record for around- the-clock, non-stop golf.

The goal is 1,200 holes. At the first tee, 18-year-old John stopped just long enough to smear himself with insect repellent before hilling his tee 'shot into the blackness. The two North Miami youths are making their record attempt on the regulation par-72 West Course at Hollywood Lakes Country Club. Even wilh automobile headlights jerry-rigged on the front of their golf carls, "playing al night is kind of a pain," 17- year-old Gary explained while looking for a losl ball on Ihe iirsl fairway. "The fluorescent orange paint on the balls doesn't really help as much as we thought it would.

But we've worked out a system: We line Ihe carls up behind us wilh the lighis pointing down Ihe fairway, and jusl hit irons as straight ns we can." And both seemed to have an uncanny knack for hilling lo the unseen green. "You have to remember, we've played this hole 25 times in the last 29 hours, 1 Gary cracked. John, who will he a sophomore at the University of South Florida in the fall, thought of the idea lasl year. Gary, who will be a freshman at the University of Florida, agreed. The endurance record at that time was holes.

But six weeks ago, Raymond Lasater played 1,054 holes on a course in Lebanon, Tenn. "We were kind of crushed," Gary said. "That meant an extra day or so." Undaunted, they both decided it was worth a try. "Just lor the hell of it," John said.

August IB, 1971 walks in the fifth inning proved to aid in his downfall. Smith struck out 12 Locke batters and walked five. "We just couldn't get the bat on Ihe ball," a dejected Dwight Williams said after the narrow setback. "But give Burleson a 5ot of credit, he's a good one. He really threw a good game." Burleson, who struck out the side three times, was wild but just enough to be very effective.

He issued seven free passes and hit one batter but was tougW wilh runners aboard. Blytheville had II runners stranded and left the bases loaded twice. Just once, in the sixth inning, did the Casons go out in order, Burleson wasn't at all picky about who he struck oul. He got everyone in ttte lineup at least once and fanned Smilh and Robbie Inman tour times each. Blytheville had an early opportunity to score all hough Burleson didn't give up a hit unlil Parker Morgan singled with Iwo out in the fifth inning.

In the second inning the Ca- sons loaded the bases wilh two oul when Uurlcson walked Handy Gardner, Kicky Gill and Gary Edwards in succession. However, he came right back and got Al Williams to swing at a third strike, ending the inning. Again In the seventh inning, Blylheville loaded the bases wilh two out but failed lo denl Ihe plate. Gardner started the inning with a walk and was sacrificed just above his ankles. Morgan grounded to the infield to end the game.

Smith retired the side in order the first two innings and then got into a jam in the third with walk, a bunt single by Glenn and a hard single by Larry Wallace loading the bases with one out. The Cason southpaw then got tough, retiring Robert Lunsford on a fly to the outfield and Rob- trts on strikes. Smith got into the same situation in the fifth but this lime he didn't get off the hook. Terry Haywood started the decisive fifth inning for Locke by walking on a 3-2 pitch. Gray struck out but Wallace singled and Smith walked Lunsford, to second by Gill.

Edwards Boston fanned but Williams walked and Cleveland Morgan lived on an error to Milwaukee load the sacks. Eric Llttell then worked the count full before bouncing back to Burleson in front of Ihe mound and anolher possible threat went by Hie boards. Ken Shumate singled for Bly- Ihevllle's other hit with one down in the eighth inning, Inman then swung al a third slrike and Gardner lined hard lo second baseman Gene Roberts. Blytheville had one final chance ninth when Burleson hit Edwards with a pitch eville Burleson gem beats Smith.
