Down on the Farm Spending some time at the Angels' spring camp at Holtville the carrot capital of the world must have rubbed off on Islander General Manager Jack Quinn. He's also going "farm" business. The announcement that the Islanders plan to own a farm team of their own came as a surprise, but it was an idea that Quinn has mulled over for a couple of years. "It's an innovation a minor league club owning another minor league club and we hadn't thought of implementing the project until 1971," Quinn said. "But the opportunity came up at the recent winter baseball meeting so we decided to follow through with it." According to Quinn, the Class A Northwest League will be expanding from four to six teams next season with Bend and Coos Bay, two Oregon cities, joining the other four Medford, Pendleton, Lewiston and Walla Walla.

"None of the other major league teams (other than those who already had teams in the Northwest League) had been willing to commit themselves, so we stepped forward to take one of the new franchises," Quinn said. Oakland now is interested in Coos Bay. Bend is Quinn's preference. "It's geographically the heart of the league should keep travel expenses down." Quinn said, "and it has a pretty good ballpark which seats 2,200." Reasons Behind Idea The Billboard By Bill Kwon "My primary reason, originally, for owning our own farm club was to be able to participate in the free agent Quinn said. "Now that we have a team, we'll be able to draft the 69th or 70th kid in the country and I've got to believe that he could be able to play major league ball someday.

If he gets drafted by a major league team it could be a profitable deal for us. "We could also sign and develop our own kids, even bringing up a few players if our own Islanders have military problems like we did last year," Quinn added. Another plus, which Quinn said he has already noticed at the baseball meetings, is improving the Hawaii Islanders' image in the baseball world. Owning a farm club is definitely major league "thinking," and several persons have asked Quinn when Hawaii is going major league. "I really feel that by our going into the Northwest League we really saved that league and at the same time improved the image of the Hawaii Islanders, making our name become more firmly entrenched in baseball," Quinn said.

Costs to Be Minimum Actually, the move won't be as expensive as it sounds. Quinn figures it costs about $40,000 to run the operation, but most if not nearly all of the expenses will be borne by the seven major league clubs who have promised 17 players to the Islanders' farm club. The teams Senators, Royals, Pilots, Dodgers, Padres. Mets, Phils will pay the salaries and handle the spring training of their own players in addition to giving a total of $3,000 towards the hiring of a manager. can't get hurt with that kind of an Quinn said.

"I was told by Hugh Luby, who used to be president of the league before he was named GM at Eugene, that even if we had the worst possible year rain, etc. we'd lose $5,000 at most." However, none of the four teams in the league last year money. With Hawaii at Bend, or possibly Coos Bay, it'll be traveling with company. The other major league teams owning Northwest clubs are the Cardinals at Lewiston, the Phils at Walla Walla, the Dodgers at Medford and the Padres at Pendleton. Clearly a major league move by Quinn.

Now if only the Islanders had a major league stadium. White Sox Trade Ward to Yankees CHICAGO (UPI) Infielder Pete Ward was traded to the New York Yankees yesterday.

Most of players are transfers this is my first year as so we are doing things They travel light and play fast. That's a fitting description of the Tahoe Paradise College basketball team that meets the University of Hawaii tomorrow night at 8 at HIC. The Saints play the civilian all -stars of the Armed Forces League Monday night Bloch Arena and face the Rainbows against Tuesday night at HIC.

Coach Jim Young and 10 players, probably the smallest college basketball party are new to all of us. "But we have an exciting team. We are averaging almost 105 points a game so obviously we are a running club. We are a reasonably free-shooting team although we like to feel we have play patterns. But we like to play real fast and there go the patterns.

"DEFENSIVELY WE play man-to-man and press a lot. We have a 4-2 record and it should be 5-1. We should have beaten San Diego State in the finals of the Aztec tournament. We out-goaled them but they beat us at the free -throw line by five points." Coach Young, who played against Hawaii here in 1952. 1953 and 1954 as a member of the Santa Clara team, is a man of many responsibilities at Tahoe.

In addition to being a one-man coaching staff he is the sports information director, athletic scholarship fund raiser, talent recruiter and a history teacher. He left a good high school coaching job in Hayward, to take the Tahoe post, because he was anxious to get lined up with a four- year college. "I AM A HISTORY major," he explained, "and most colleges and universities want physical education majors as coaches. don't have a good scholarship program at Tahoe. therefore we don't get the smart boys who get full ride scholarships at other schools.

Raising money is a real job. have no alumni yet and we are too young (Tahoe is in its third year) to command attention, especially attention of those who could help us financially. We can't even get the casinos in neighboring Nevada to take ads in our basketball program. But we are making progress and once we get established financial help will come." YOUNG SAID he would start Bill Colbert, ace rebounder, at center tomorrow night and would pick his starting forwards from among Curt Brown. Jerry Stevenson and Bill Windbilger, and his guards from among Herbye White, Sam Robinson and Les Rios.

"We have been using seveight men in recent games, said Young, "because we run so much. We put them and take them out as circumstances yesthis UH's BRINGING IT BACK--Alvin Haymond of Los Angeles Rams returns kickoff to own 36 as Detroit's Ed Mooney tries to catch Photo. Pete-Jerry Act Key for Oilers OAKLAND (UPI) All the Oakland Raiders need to do is look back to the beginning of the American Football League season to realize they have no bargain in Sunday's inter-divisional playoff game against Houston. The date was Sept. 14, 1969.

The place was the Oakland Coliseum. The score was Oakland 21, Houston 17, following a 64-yard scoring hookup between Daryle Lamonica and Warren Wells. But the key play was yet to come. Oiler quarterback Pete Beathard. scrambling for an upset in the closing minutes, spotted the swift Jerry Levias slanting across the middie.

ahead of two Raider defenders. Beathard unleashed the ball. an accurate spiral, and Levias took it chest-high on the run and let it skid away. SINCE THAT shaky season opener, the Raiders have established a 12-1-1 mark and streaked to the top of the AFL West for the third successive year. But Oakland's chief touchdo 71 threat.

the speedy Wells, will not be around Sunday after suffering a shoulder separation. Despite a second place finish in the AFL East, this year's playoffs, stem gives the Oilers as good a shot as New York, Kansas City and Oakland of getting into the AFL championship game. So the Raiders, 12-point favorites, can't afford to take the Oakland coliseum skirmish lightly. "We lose this one and everything we've worked for is gone," said Lamonica, who threw a league high of 34 TD passes this season. Raider coach John Madden, who calls the Oilers "better than their record of 6-6-2." still remembers the dropped pass by Levias, the explosive rookie from Southern Methc list.

"Levias. is even more dangerous than Wells or the Jets' Don May nard," said Madden. "HE CAN score with the FOREIGN CAR PARTS! VOLKSWAGEN TOYOTA DATSUN MG TRIUMPH HILLMAN AUSTIN It!

736 South Ph. 533-2986 with said without our and coach that SubPac Rolls The SubPac Raiders and the Jolly Roger Pirates kept their one-two pace in the Armed Forces League with victories last night. The Raiders, league leaders with a 15-1 record, defeated the Hickam Flyers, 81-70. at Hickam gym, while the Pirates, 14-2, downed the Hawaii Marines, 97-89, at Kaneohe. In other contests, the Mikilua Lakers turned back the Army Redlanders, 81-75, at Conroy Bowl (Schofield) and host Tripler beat Naval Communications, 108-90.

Terry Porter, who paced the Raiders with 14 points, came off the bench in the last two minutes and tanked 11 to clinch the contest. Hickam had gone into the lead before Porter's heroics. Steve Schlink and Don McConnell each had 13 for SubPac. Joe Williams led Hickam with 21 points. Jon Stanley, Bob Guin and Dick Husemann had 13 apiece for the Flyers.

Ken Stewart scored 37 points for Jolly Roger, 20 in the first half. Allan Young contributed 17. long pass like Maynard or Wells, but he can also score on a punt return, a kickoff return. a deep reverse, a halfback screen pass or just running from scrimmage." The Oilers have attempted and completed more passes than any other AFL club, yet they've had trouble getting on the scoreboard. Houston has racked up 31 touchdowns, compared to 45 by Oakland.

But Oiler head man Wally Lemm believes his club will give the Raiders trouble, largely because of Pete Be- athard's strong showing in Oilers' 27-23 win over Boston last weekend. If the Houston attack has been strengthened of late, it is hard to see how the Raider offense can help but be weakened by the loss of Wells, who scored 14 touchdowns this year and averaged 26.8 yards per catch. "Of course we'll miss Warren," said Lamonica. "'But Drew Buie and Rod Sherman both have good speed, and Sherman has great moves. They'll do a good job filling in."
