Daily Reporter, Deter, 0. July 27,1967 Be No Winner in Cleveland Brown Rebellion (Editor's Note: Bob Schles- fhger, sports editor of the Willoughby News-Herald, a sister paper of The Daily Reporter, has covered the Cleveland Browns for several years and BBS a speaking acquaintance players and coaches alike, the following article he ass the Browns' current situa- on). By BOB SCHLESINGER Loses. That's the ifeme of the game today between Cleveland Browns' owner Art Modell and 5 of his players Who have refused to report to Gaining camp at Hiram. "The entire situation is most infortunate.

Art Modell, in our fjook, is one of the outstanding flwmers in professional sports. He is an innovator who has Improved the sport, one of the few owners who makes the game his primary concern, and an employer who has been more than generous and considerate to his players over the years. He is also extremely strong- willed with confidence in ability to decide what's right and wrong. On a matter of principle, when he thinks he's right, he will not back down. Of the 5 players involved, Leroy Kelly is the most talented, but John Wooten is the one the others look to for guidance.

We have a great deal of respect for John and the very fine work he has done on behalf of the Negro Industrial and Economic Union. While John is not hard pressed for eating money, neither has he received the superstar wages which make some athletes economically independent for life. Yet he has devoted all of his working time off the field to directing the NIEU, certainly a considerable sacrifice. John will be willing to put everything, including his career, on the line in order to achieve what he considers just. Just how far the others will go in following his example is the big unknown.

Certainly there is no other occupation which offers them the kind of money that football does. Since Kelly and Mike HoweD won starting positions for the first time last season, and Sid Williams and John Brown have been reserves for most of their careers, none is in a position of independent affluence. Caught lit the middle with perhaps the most to lose is State Rep. Carl Stokes. As a leading contender in this year's Cleveland mayoral race, Stokes would have been better off politically to avoid championing an unpopular cause.

However, the Browns who are "striking" have been his clients for the past 2 years. It would have been highly questionable ethically and totally Big Turnout Forecast For Canton Pro Game CANTON A turnout in ex- Cess of 16,000 has been forecast for the Cleveland Browns-Philadelphia Eagles exhibition game in Fawcett Stadium at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5.

A lawyer can advise his clients against a certain action, but as long as what they want him to do is within the law he is obligated to pursue their wishes. And he is handicapped because he isn't allowed to reveal what advice he gave.

The biggest loser will probably be Cleveland football. A week ago optimism reigned at Hiram. Talk of visiting Green Bay for the title game and Miami for the Superbowl flowed freely. It's unlikely that this could come about without the services of the "Reluctant Five." And even if they come to terms, great damage to team morale may occur if the holdout is very long and bitter. It's not surprising that this situation has come about.

Since the Koufax Drysdale entry made a big dent in the 0'Mai- ley millions in the spring of '66 other athletes have considered the possibility of using similar bargaining tactics. NBA players gained economic concessions with a strike threat last spring and several Buffalo Bills' players threatened a mass holdout last week. So perhaps this type of labor- management dispute was inevitable. We just wish it had happened somewhere else. Like Dallas or Green Bay.

By TED MEIER Associated Press sports Writer The case of the five holdouts of the Cleveland firowns, which has stilted the interest of most everyone in pro football, may switch from an all-for-one and one-for-all to a one-for-me situation Friday. The case pits Art Modell, owner of the Browns, against John Wooten, a guard from Colorado, Leroy Kelly, a running back from Morgan State, John Brown, a tackle from Syracuse, Mike Howell, a defensive back from Grambling and Sid Williams, a linebacker from Southern University. Their attorney is scheduled to meet Friday with counsel for Modell in a second attempt to reach a settlement. The five were scheduled to report to training camp last Saturday, but didn't show. The key issue appears to be the demand of the five that all of them must be traded if one is.

Modell has said he would not agree to such a sitpulation of vital concern to every front office. Meantime, halfback Dmnny Anderson, a bonus baby from Texas Tech, worked out with the champion Green Bay Packers for the first time since being released from Army reserve training. He is expected to challenge Elijah Pitts for the halfback post vacated by the departure of Paul Hornung. Boulevard Lanes Dorothy Conklin's 434 was high in Bobbie Brooks Wednesday night.
