SPORTS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1969 PAGE 33 Carter's Blast Unleashes More Harpoons At Bears CHICAGO (AP) Never has the House of Halas been rocked so violently as it has this week when the crack in the Chicago Bears' armor grew into a fissure from the spear of quarterback Virgil Carter. It was like the opening of a Pandora's Box when Carter was fined for an outburst against the club and then excused yesterday from practices. Bear Owner George Halas says Carter hasn't been released or suspended but "simply dismissed for the week. He will receive his full game salary, although not playing Sunday." Eclginess is touching all bases. One fan sums it up like this: "I've been sitting in the same seat at Bears' games for 25 years.

I pay to see a first class product, not a living, breathing problem." As the Bears take their 1-12 National Football League record worst in their half century history into Sunday's finale here against the Detroit Lions, they are being harpooned from all sides. "Let's put it out in the open," says Sports Editor Rick Talley in Chicago today. "Jim Dooley should be fired as coach of the Chicago Bears. George Halas chairman of the board, should do it. And if he doesn't he should at least bore two holes into Dooley's shoulder blades and insert hooks, onto which could be attached strings.

"All Puppets should have strings and that's all Dooley represents in his present capacity with the Bears." Jack Griffin of the Chicago Sun-Times said that the Bears are a "dispirited, disorganized group that has only one common denominator, and that is dissension The dissension is aimed at the top of the stairs, and that means only one fellow, George Halas. "He was responsible for the growth of tiie team and he is equally responsible for its disintegration The Bears have managed to work themselves into the worst labor relations group in organized sport Bob Markus, Chicago Tribune sports columnist, tops it off with "Playing with the Bears this year, I wouldn't be surprised if even Ernie Banks would have turned into an old grouch." Super linebacker Dick Butkus' 5-year contract ends Jan. 1. He says a number of Bear players want to be traded or cut and adds: "Look at me My contract is up, and I want to play with a winning team." It is not clear if Butkus already has played out his option and could become a free agent Jan. 1, but he is ready at any rate to ask for a whopping raise say $30,000 more to put him in the bracket of Gale Sayers.

Among others said to be nursing some scars are quarterback Jack Concannon, apparently in doghouses long ago; guard George Seals, wounded with an assorted $7,400 in fines for missing games in an eariy "retirement-salary dispute" episode; center Mike Pyle, a co-captain bunched lately without explanation to him; wide receiver Dick Gordon, who started brooding because not enough passes were thrown to him. Guard Howard Mudd, obtained by San Francisco, insists he isn't mad at anybody, bvit he hasn't signed a Bear contract yet. Meanwhile, Carter has taken his case of a fine to Dan Shulman, counsel for the NFL Players Association. Shulman says if Carter has to pay the $1,000 grievance procedure should go to Halas, first, then to Art Modell of Cleveland, NFL president, and finally to Commissioner Pete Kozelle. "If it gets to Rozelle," says Shulman, "these things would have to be answered: Did Virgil make those actual statements? Are they detrimental to the club and football? Are all of them true? Is the fine itself excessive?" George Halas Old Man On Rocky Sea Open Your Eyes, John yiP Wircphoto San Diego's John Block, with his'eyes shut, pulls down a rebound during last night's National Basket- ball Association game with Chicago.

San Diego won, 110-101, to break a three-game losing streak. WASHINGTON (AP) After months of study, the National Labor Relations Board ordered a union election for the 24 umpires in the American League, opening up baseball and other professional for jurisdiction under the nation's labor laws. The ruling, announced yesterday by the Board was greeted by Richard Moss, counsel for the Major League Baseball Players Association as "a monumental decision that brings all professional the protection of the NLRB for the first time." Moss spoke in San Juan, site of the Players Association meeting. The board in a 4-1 vote, ordered a representation election for umpires within 30 days. The election had been requested by the umpires, who had charged the American League with unfair labor practices in dismissing Al Salerno and Bill Valentine 14 months ago: The board rejected the league's argument that umpires were supervisors as defined by the National Labor Relations Act and thus were not eligible for union organization.

The board stated that, "the umpire does not tell players how to bat, how to field, to work harder or exert more effort, nor can he tell a manager which players to play or where to play them "Thus, the umpire merely sees to it that the game is played in compliance with the rules.

Flow. Ing Wells (Jacobs 13) 54-47, By REGIS McAULEY Assistant Sports Editor Tucson's bid for a Western Hockey League franchise is in the hands of a man who knows his way around the ice houses of the nation. He is Harry Ornest, of Beverly Hills, a former referee in the old Pacific Coast League of hockey, The United States League, the American Hockey League and the National Hockey League. Ornest has applied to Gene Kinasewich, president of the Western Hockey League, for a franchise which would be owned and operated primarily by Tuc- sonians. "I'll be surprised if we don't get the franchise," Ornest said today.

He is in Tucson on business as a part owner of television station KZAZ. "I know what Tucson needs in the way of hockey and I'll get it. I know we need players first. ,1 have contacts with all the club owners in all leagues. "Clarence Campbell (president of the National Hockey League) has been discussing the Tucson plans with me.

He will be here early in January for more talks," Omest said. "We are really excited about the prosepcts here in Tucson. Our getting the franchise is contingent on the ice hockey facilities at the new Community Center where we understand there will be seats for from 8,000 to 9,000 people. More can be added later. "There is a stipulation in the Western Hockey League by-laws which requires cities seeking new franchises to have facilities which will seat 10,000, but I'm sure they will bend a little here," Ornest said.

The former referee said he has discussed his plans at length with the WHL and with Bob Thompson, director of the Tucson Community Center. Thompson said today that the city council is expected to vote on the hockey facilities at next Monday's meeting. It was scheduled for a vote at (he last meeting, but a crowded agenda forced it over. Ornest said, "We will be able to bring some fine attractions here. We have plans for exhibition games involving the major league hockey teams.

This Tucson Community Center will get publicity all over the nation and in Canada from the hockey teams that will visit here. "I want to stress that this is going to be a Tucson-operated franchise," Ornest said. "We have made a substantial investment in television KZAZ here and our investment in the hockey franchise with Tucson people, whom we will name later, is further evidence of our strong feeling toward Tucson and Arizona as a fast developing area of our nation." Thompson also expects other attractions to take advantage of the ice rink facilities at the center. "We can have figure skating, public skating and pee-wee hockey," he said. "We will also get several National Basketball League games in our arena each year" Thompson said that the prime dates of Friday and Saturday have been offered to the Phoenix Suns basketball team and that Jerry Colangelo, general manager of the Suns, has been consulting with him about the Suns' schedule.

Efforts will be made to bring the Arizona Interscholastic Association high school basketball championships to the Tucson Community Center, also. Mine' Citizen Photo by Bruce Hopkiru Mark Watson of Amphi gains control of a rebound during last night's high school basketball game at Salpointe as Lancer Tom Tylutki (34) makes an ef- SALPOINTE WINS, 60-52 Tony fort to bat the ball away. Watching the action are Panther Dave Breuker (55) and Lancer Bill Darling. Salpointe won; 60-52. sHappen By ED JORDAN Citizen Sportswviter George Walls isn't the only man Salpointe High depends on when the going gets tough.

With the dandy 6-foot-10 se-. nior center and four other Lancers, including starters Bill Darling and Mike Katherina, ailing from a virus, 6-0 guard Tony Baus became the clutch man. Baus took charge of the floor leadership and took control of the fast-breaking game as he directed Gene Dineen's charges to 60-52 win over slow- starting Amphi in last night's high school basketball game The victory was Salpointe's second in five starts and first over a Southern AAA-B team. A top contender in Southern AAA-A, Amphi's record dropped to 3-2. Neither Dineen or Amphi coach George Genung were particularly pleased with their team's showings, but Dineen credited Baus, rebounding and a good defensive effort in the final quarter as the differences.

"This definitely wasn't one of our better games," said Dineen, "but then you have to consider that we had three starters, including Walls, and two of our top reserves ailing with some kind of a virus." After Salpointe held leads of 19 points, the Panthers came alive in the final quarter, employing their usual pressure defensive tactics to narrow the gap. "But we just didn't do that in the first half," said Genung. Although Walls was down with a virus, he managed to score 14 points three behind Baus' game high total to retain his city's scoring lead. Walls is averaging 23.8. Salpointe held the rebounding edge, 61-28, and outshot Amphi in field goal attempts, 45 percent to 35 percent.

Sahuaro and Catalina continued their'winning ways in Southern AAA-B, posting their fifth wins in as many starts. As expected, tall Sahuaro con- trolled the boards and Dan Ferguson's 25 points led four double figure scorers as the Cougars clobbered host Rincon, 84-62, and Catalina's Bob Harbour and George Bertram combined for 32 points as the Trojans breezed past new Cholla, 74-31. Also sporting unbeaten records after last night's action are Tucson's two 2AA schools, Canyon del Oro and Flowing Weils. Bill Barnes and Bobby Hadd combined for 27 points and 18 rebounds to lead CDO to its fourth straight win with, a decisive 80-40 decision aver fledging Santa Rita and Flowing Wells, with Ralph Armstrong scoring 25 points, opened its season with a 60-45 win over host San In other games last night, 6-4 Tom Kelley's 24 points led Sunnyside to a.57-54 win over visiting Pueblo and Gene Calloway lived up to his Deaf All- America billing by pumping in 35 points in the Arizona School for the Deaf and win over Indian Oasis of Sells. Prep basketball action resumes Friday night.
