(UPI) North American Soccer League president SOCCPr 7- nuwaiu auiuuctb sum mursuay tie is directing efforts to find new owners who will pump $500,000 into the Tulsa Roughnecks to save the league champions from bankruptcy. to get them to play with enthusiasm was the first thing." The Rowdies, according to the NASL, have accumulated 38 penalties for 82 minutes this season, worst among the seven NASL teams. Tulsa is second with 61 minutes.

Golden Bay, for instance, has the least number of penalties in the league 34 minutes and are last in that category. Moreover Captain Mike Connell is leading the league with 17 minutes and Peter Roe is fourth with 14 after two minor penalties in the 11-5 loss to Vancouver Wednesday night at the Fairgrounds. Twenty minutes time prompts a one-game suspension. Roe holds three yellow card cautions and Connell two and one ejection. Manny Rojas also has an ejection.

If not for the Rowdies penalty killing unit of Roe, Connell, goalkeeper Jurgen Stars, Flemming Lund and Perry Van Der Beck, Tampa Bay might have a far worse record. The Rowdies have killed 23 of 33 penalties against them for a 69.7 percent efficiency rate, second best behind Vancouver's 18-27 effort (72 per cent). Golden Bay, on the other hand, By RICHARD MUDRY Tribune Sports Writer When Rodney Marsh took over as coach of the Rowdies, he said he wanted to rekindle intensity and spirit. Whereas the Rowdies were pussycats last outdoor season without much spunk, this time around he wanted tigers on the prowl. Now as the 3-9 Rowdies face 6-3 Golden Bay tonight at 8 in the Fairgrounds, he has accomplished his goal.

But the results have left Rodney's Roughies, oops Rowdies, leading the North American Soccer League in muggings, a.k.a. penalty minutes. And what throws an even stranger twist into the whole affair is that two brothers, Paul and Peter Roe, are vying for league leadership in the category in the Major Indoor Soccer League and the North American Soccer League, respectively. "I didn't want this many penalties," said Marsh Thursday when made aware of the situation. "But when you are making a major turnaround in anything, trying to put right three years on wrongs, it will take time.

Our thing was let's put the spirit right first and is last in the early indoor season, killing only 8 of 14 attempts for a 57.1 percent degree of success against their own penalties. Marsh said, "My job now is to temper" the over-enthusiasm. "You want the same intensity and desire and don't want those things to stop," said Marsh, "and I wouldn't have liked to spend the entire indoor season trying to get it (intensity) back." Marsh did say in Peter Roe's case "he's somewhere between what I want him to do and what he is doing. "Now we've got to get it channelled the right way." Meanwhile, in Tacoma, Peter's brother Paul is writing a similar MISL chapter. He's been penalized 16 minutes and is in a four-way tie for the MISL lead in that category.

Rowdies have a New Year's Eve party tonight following the game. After the game there will be champagne, party favors and dancing until 12:30 a.m. And as an addendum to the Wednesday promotion of how-many-people-you-can-stuff-in-a-carvan for $29.

The players are defender Terry Moore, a former Tampa Bay Rowdie and midfielders Chance Fry and" Brian Schmetzer. Moore is a four-year NASL Veteran and a key player on Tulsa's defense the past two seasons. Fry and Schmetzer were acquired before the indoor season when the Seattle Sounders folded. "The problems are not because of no support from the fans," Samuels said. "I had 30 calls from them last week pleading with me to do something, but it will take a new investor group for that to happen because the former owners have taken heavy debts." Samuels said he has talked with several groups in Tulsa "and there is interest.

i "They are waiting to see if other people will come forward and make a commitment," he said. "We don't want to lose our league champions," Samuels said at a news conference. "It would be a kick in the teeth if that happened." Samuels said he is seeking investors to put forth about $500,000 to meet outstanding payrolls and keep the club operating for the balance of the NASL indoor season. Four Tulsa-based oilmen who operated the club since 1980 recently pulled out due to skyrocketing debts. The owners have lost $8 million in that time.

One of the owners, fuel-oil shipper Carl Moore, pulled out last week and his company Mid-Region Petroleum Co. has filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of federal bankruptcy laws. i In a related item, Roughnecks general manager Alex Skotarek said three players have filed for free Peter Roe Poor Mike Connell was caught three times more Wednesday night as the sixth attacker wearing a goalkeeper's shirt. Connell in 11 minutes of time in goal has yielded 6 goals for a 32.72 goals-against average per game in that special role. That's not the highest in the league, though.

"So many guys want to be better than you," he said. "It just motivates me more and more to produce' and be the same guy everybody expects me to be," said Zungul.

"I need help from my teammates. I can't do everything myself, but when you have help and make friendships on the team, you can take a lot of pressure." Zungul said pressure can even get to him in those rare times. "I'm a little shaky and nervous sometimes, but I do not give up. If I try 100 percent and we all do not give up, we can still win." But Zungul figures his lifestyle is all a part of his love for the game. A happy person, he reasoned, makes a happy player.

"My goal is to have happiness," he said, "to win championships and then personal goals will make me happy. "I do not worry about my place in the game. The years I've spent indoors have made me. happy and it helps the younger generation (get interested in soccer). I think I've been a good teacher, for them." Has Steve Zungul changed any as a player over the last couple years? Has he noticed any difference in the NASL and MISL? "Maybe the only changes in me is I've put on two pounds and lost a little hair," said the rock-solid 175-pound athlete.

"There is a little difference in the leagues, but after four years they are pretty much the same." Zungul said he noticed NASL teams had a little trouble adapting the first two years indoors, but "now they are picking up. "The NASL has better individual players, but need the teams, to play together more." From Page 1C He is, said those who have watched and played against him, the premier player. "He's always snooping around the post for goals if he's not on a run," said USF assistant coach Derek Smethurst, who played against Zungul while at Memphis in the MISL. "A very intelligent player." "The Lord of All Indoors is very apt," said former Rowdies Coach Gordon Jago, now heading up the Soccerama facility owned by John Fruh-morgan. "He's so quick" and powerful.

He's learned to play cleverly off the ball. I don't think he's greedy. He doesn't ask for the ball for his personal gains, but rather for the team. There's something about him an aura.

"It has gotten better," she said then.

"When I first won Wimbledon, I got like $20,000, and now it is up to $60,000 or $80,000. But still, it's for a two-week event, and for a Grand Slam event. It is like 10-15 percent of the game, which is nothing." On Thursday, she said her plea was for the players who fail to qualify for the main draw or are first-round losers. A loser in the first round of qualifying this year at the Australian Open received $750, while a first-round loser in the main draw earned $1,500. Navratilova, who has won $1,456,030 this year and $6,384,089 in her career, won the last three Grand Slam women's singles.

She also has won $150,000 for capturing the Virginia Slims points race for 1983 and will be top-seeded in the Virginia Slims Championships, which will be played Feb. 27-March 4 at Madison Square Garden in New York. According to Peggy Gossett, WTA public relations director, Navratilova collected $96,000 at Wimbledon, $120,000 at the U.S. Open and $75,000 at the Australian Open.
