Car Sherlock, Navy Leading 590 96 Passers By BRIAN RICHARDSON Democrat sftff writer The crowd will gather in the parking lot of Campbell Stadium a little earlier than usual Nov.

10. When the Florida State University Seminoles are in town for a football game, the tailgate parties start early in the afternoon, hours before the 7 p.m. kickoff. The Florida State-South Carolina game Nov. 10 will be the highlight of Homecoming weekend, so the parties may start even earlier.

But that doesn't account for the hundreds who will begin milling about in shorts and funny tennis shoes shortly after 7 a.m. Their minds will be far from the game. They will be busy stretching their muscles and convincing their psyches that they can run 9.3 miles faster than whoever is next to them, and faster than they have ever run it before. They are the participants in the fourth annual Turkey Trot, a painful run through the FSU campus and the streets of Tallahassee. If they have run the race before, they will know the course.

When the starter blows an air horn, they will charge up a small hill and down Chieftain Way, past the Seminole baseball field, Tully Gym and the Mike Long Track. Where Call Street dead ends at Chieftain, they will turn right, run past the chemistry building, across Woodward Street, past the student union and Strozier Library and, where Call Street resumes, up it to Ivey Way. They will turn right on Ivey Way, run up the hill and go left on University Way around the West-cott Building. At the entrance to FSU they will turn left on Copeland Street, race down a short block to Park Avenue, turn right on Park and follow it to Boulevard Street. At Boulevard they will turn right, follow it to Pensacola Street, then turn right on Pensacola and head west.

They will pass the College of Law on the right and what will be the Civic Center on the left. After a series of low rolling hills on Pensacola, they will turn left on Seminole, in sight of Campbell Stadium, and follow it around to Stadium Drive. They will make a quick left, and then turn right again onto Gaines Street and follow it to Jackson Bluff Road. After a right on Jackson Bluff, about three and a half miles out, they will meet their first real challenge, a long uphill grade that can break a runner's heart. They will follow Jackson Bluff past Caroline Brevard Elementary School and up a low rise to Midflo Street.

At Midflo they will grab a cup of liquid, take a few swallows, turn around and follow the same course thing. At a recent track club meeting, County Judge Charles McClure, Assistant State Attorney Willie Meggs and club members discussed the rights of runners and motorists. Stephens said what came out of the discussion was clear Every one of the 150 runners in the room said he or she had been hollered at by drivers at least once. About three-fourths had had objects thrown at them out of cars. Some had seen cars swerve at them.

But McClure and Meggs emphasized something that runners often ignore: Runners must obey the same traffic signals motorists do. Waiting through a red light in the middle of a smooth 10-mile run is a bitter pill for most runners to swallow. On the other hand, no runner can win a challenge match with a car, no matter who is right. Laws protecting pedestrians are hard to enforce when there are no witnesses to an incident. And runners who violate traffic laws don't wear license plates.

What is called for is some reason on both sides, Stephens said. "Obviously, you don't run through traffic blatantly and make cars stop," he said. "It's really a share situation. Unfortunately, some runners take advantage of it." On Nov. 10, the runners will have the law on their side.

Organizers of the Turkey Trot will have a parade permit, Stephens said. That permit gives them the right to keep traffic off the streets through which the race will be run. City, county and FSU law enforcement people helped with traffic control in last year's Turkey Trot, Stephens said, as did scores of volunteers. Breaking into the race in an automobile is the same as trying to drive through the Springtime Tallahassee parade, Stephens said: You can't do it. The Democrat will publish a map of the Turkey Trot course a few days before the race.

For the 90 minutes it takes to conduct the race, beginning at 9 a.m., your best bet if you have to drive in the area is to find an alternate route, Stephens said. If you would like to help with traffic control or other aspects of the Turkey Trot, call The Democrat's Action Line at 599-2174 and leave your name and number on the recording. Please specify that you are calling to volunteer to help with the Turkey Flyers describing the Turkey Trot, including a map of the course and an entry form, will be available beginning today from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. in the lobby of The Democrat, at 277 N.

Magnolia Dr. After today, they also will be available in the running-shoe stores in the Northwood and Tallahassee malls and Governors Square. Alt.

They will take the hill on Jackson Bluff a second time, and will struggle through the rolling hills on Pensacola again, up a gradual rise on Boulevard, Park and Copeland to the Westcott Building again. From there it is downhill or flat down Ivey Way, Call Street and across campus to the track, where they will run one lap to the finish line. It will take the best of them, the heart-lung machines with legs and souls, between 45 and 50 minutes to run the 9.3-mile course. Others will need 90 minutes or more.

They all will need some luck to make it. But how much luck they have will depend on how safely they have trained. Avoiding injury, heat stroke and exhaustion by training properly is only part of being a safe runner. It is the other part running safely in automobile traffic that has concerned Jim Stephens for the two years he has been president of Gulf Winds Track Club. Tallahassee has been fortunate so far, Stephens said recently.

No runner has been killed by traffic here. But it has happened in Thomasville, Ga. And almost everyone who has been running for long has a war story about a close call. Sometimes those close calls are the runner's fault, Stephens says. A runner who charges in front of a driver who finally has gotten a green light after a hard day at work is not going to make many friends.

Drivers often aren't used to seeing runners about, and don't watch for them at intersections. Many cannot understand why runners have to take to busy streets in the first place, and why they cannot stay on the shoulder of the road when they do. For distance runners who cover 10, 15, even 20 miles in one run, staying on a track is impractical and boring, Stephens said. Running on the shoulder of the road, amid hidden ruts, ditches, trash and broken bottles can cause cuts, sprains or fractures, he said. For a runner who has trained months for one race, a sprain is the kiss of death.

But a motorist who doesn't see him or her can be the real East Pet.

The moral: You don't fool around with someone as big as Wild Bill Hagy. "Did you see me on 'The Great Baltimore Baffle'?" he asks. He is sitting in Ed's Inn, a beer in each hand, warming up for the night ahead.

"Oh, I forgot. You're from out of town. Well, 'The Great Baltimore Baffle' is this quiz show they got on TV here. They said they had more mail than ever before when I was a panelist there." The most, the best, the biggest, the hottest. Wild Bill has a hand in them all.

One night he is picking up $200 for a personal appearance at a Pontiac dealer, the next day be is earning $500 for the Chevrolet commercial the Oriole players think should be theirs. And now he has just returned from providing some background noise for a locally produced disco record. "Yeah, yeah, I know," he said. "Section 34's supposed to be against disco. But what the hell.

Ain't no sense in shortchanging myself now." He pauses to knock back one of his beers. When he pulls the can away from his mouth, the look on his face suggests P. T. Barnum after he sold his first ticket to a snipe hunt. "Hey," Wild Bill Hagy said.

"Do you think I should get me an agent?" (Continued from page IB) land to watch the Orioles' final game of the season. Even that feat, however, has been overwhelmed by this year's infernal combustion. Wild Bill has been at the heart of it from the start of it, of course beseeching Section 34's 2,000 converts in a voice that sounds like a cement mixer in action, waving his hat madly and waiting for the Oriole management to recognize him. At present there can only be speculation on what took the Orioles so long. Maybe they were put out by the fact that Wild Bill's gang brings its own beer to the park in coolers rather than pay the vendors' inflated prices.

Or maybe they were offended by the number of times the regulars failed to make it all the way to the bathroom. Whatever, when one of Wild Bill's admirers suggested that the management announce the great man's 40th birthday on the stadium scoreboard, the response was the ultimate insult: "How do you spell his name?" Now they know. They read it in the Baltimore papers. They read it in the New York Times. They read it every time they turn around.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced Tuesday that the University of San Francisco basketball program has been placed on one-year probation because of illegal benefits to players and recruiting violations.

The Dons will be prohibited from taking part in post-season competition and from appearing on NCAA-controlled television games during the 1979-80 academic year. The case involved two members of the university's basketball coaching staff in violations of NCAA regulations occurring during the period 1972-1976. The violations, which included mostly small loans and free lodging for players, occurred when Bob Gail-lard was the Dons coach, he left USF in 1978 and his top assistant, Dan Belluomini, took the team to the NCAA Western Regionals in his first season last year. Elder gets $50,000 settlement ATLANTA An Atlanta promoter has agreed to pay a $50,000 settlement of a suit filed against him by professional golfer Lee Elder, the first black ever to qualify for the Masters Tournament. E.C.

Joiner agreed to pay Elder the money for "invasion of privacy, exposure to public contempt" and for having "exploited" Elder's reputation, according to a consent agreement signed by U.S. District Court Judge Newell Edenfield. Elder originally filed a $950,000 suit earlier this year against Joiner and three other Atlantans after learning he was listed as an associate in a non-existent firm's bid to operate Atlanta's municipal golf courses. The action against the three other persons was later dropped. In addition to the $50,000, Joiner also agreed to pay Elder $5,000 for expenses incurred in filing the suit.

Elsewhere In sports The New York Jets waived Rich Szaro and signed Toni Linhart Tuesday in an attempt to find a suitable replacement for placekicker Pat Leahy, sidelined with an injured knee. Joe Pisarcik, who began the National Football League season as the New York Giants' starting quarterback, was placed on the injured reserve list Tuesday along with safety Ernie Jones, while offensive tackle Gordon Gravelle was cut. The Giants also announced the re-signing of linebacker Randy Coffield, who cleared waivers off the injured list last week; and the signing of quarterback Dave Rader, the San Diego Chargers' 1979 llth-round draft choice from Tulsa.
