Section 4 (fhicaso (Tribune Sunday, October 11, 1981 Classified In this section City's teams plug in to pay TV What SportsVision will offer 112 White Sox aames area, with the ability to blanket the city and most of the state, and also reach parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, and SportsVision also has worked out an arrangement allowing it to use the multichannel decoder boxes belonging to another subscription service, ON-TV. About 100,000 boxes are already installed in homes around the Chicago area. SportsVision will cost subscribers $21.95 a month, or $14.95 if one adds it to an existing ON-TV service. That comes to about $260 a year for the new subscriber, $180 for the dual subscriber. According to Einhorn, it's worth every penny.

A former executive producer at CBS sports and founder of the TVS which he sold to Corinthian Broadcasting for $5 million in 1973, Einhorn will reportedly become manager of the sports channel. SportsVision is his baby, something he has been formulating from the moment he and Reinsdorf bought the Sox last January. "I'm giving people something they want," he says. "People don't want to hassle driving to the ballpark, parking, getting babysitters. I'm doing them a favor.

I'm giving them a package that lets them see more than they ever have before." Reinsdorf see the advantages from an economic angle. He says that in the long run, the package will benefit both the fans and the owners. "It's clear that if we owners are to build a winner, we ihave to increase revenues to. pay higher. player salaries.

Either we raise ticket prices, or find a new source of revenue." Reinsdorfs point is echoed by team owners in every sports. Average player salaries skyrocketed in the last decade. From 1970 to 1980, figures compiled by the Labor Department and the various players' associations showed salaries escalated 239 Continued on page I. col. 1 By Linda Kay THE OWNERS OF four Chicag sports teams will unwrap a subscription television package Monday that could alter the viewing and attendance habits of thousands of fans in the Chicago area beginning next spring.

Called package will be presented by White Sox executives Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn, Sting owner Lee Stern, Black Hawks president William Wirti, and Bulls' managing partner Jonathan Kovler at a press conference in the RiU-Carlton Hotel Monday morning. The plan will test what Einhorn, its principle architect, calls his Godfather theory: "You give them something they can't refuse." But not everyone thinks SportsVision is Irresistable James, Dowdier head of broadcast operations at Tribune Compa-. ny, which owns-WGN and the Chicago Cubs, thinks the pay TV plan will alienate a lot of sports fans, and that the Sox loss could be the Cubs' gain. Dowdle says a pay package must have the "right' balance" to succeed. He doubts Sportsvision has it.

Moreover, the marriage of sports and pay television has been a troubled one in other cities around the nation. Here are the details of the SportsVision plan, due to go on the air about April 1, 1982: It will feature 112 Sox games, 56 Bulls' games, 56 Black Hawks' games, and 28 Sting games. A dozen Bulls' and Black Hawks' games will be at hqme in Chicago Stadium. The Sting part of the package will consist of both indoor and outdoor soccer. Another 100" nights' of' sports programming will be Included in the plan, most of it local college basketball.

You can't blame them if they're sniffing the roses.

"We're going to work harder this week for Michigan State than we've ever worked before," McClain pledged. "We'll do our best to retain our composure." Cole, playing in a flak jacket after he took a hard lick to the ribs the first time he threw the ball, completed only two of 12 passes. But both went for touchdowns 24 yards to Marvin Neal, then 10 yards to Thad McFadden for a 24-14 lead with 12:27 remaining. "I don't want to blame my passing on the flak jacket," said the sophomore quarterback. "That would sound like a copout." COLE ALSO RAN 15 times for 43 yards and was named Wisconsin player of the game.

But he was the first to stress that he couldn't have done it without the ball-hawking Badger defense, which forced Ohio State into numerous costly errors. "The defense did a great said Cole. Buckeye miscues three lost fumbles and a pass interception set up three Wisconsin field goals and a touchdown. The Badger defenders held Ohio State quarterback Art Schlichter, the Big 10's total offense leader, to completions in 10 attempts for 33 yards in the first half. Schlichter finished with 17-of-33 for 151 yards, but he threw for no touchdowns Continued on page 12, col.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five crowd of 78,973 chanted. Quarterback Jess Cole the snap and fell on the ball.

Wisconsin's offensive players, huddled at midfleld, shook their fists toward the stands. The fans screamed and giggled and cried. Wisconsin had defeated Ohio State for the first time in 22 years, Wendell Gladem's 50-yard field goal on the Jast play of the first half holding up as the 'margin of the 24-21 victory. The astonishing Badgers, who upset Michigan in their opener, thus became the first Wisconsin football team 'since 1959 to defeat the Big Two of the Big 10 in the same season. "NOW WE'VE GOT to worry about overconfidence," said Coach Dave McClain.

"We must be humble. I talked to our squad about it right after the game." Overconfidence? Why not? The Badgers, featuring the leadership of Cole, the running of John Williams and Dave Mohapp, and perhaps the staunchest de Suddenly, there's a bull market in these Bucky Badger banners.

Ind. When it came down to the nitty-gritty Saturday, Notre Dame had in its bag only a cheap trick that didn't work. Trailing upstart Florida State by six points with fourth down and five yards to go on their own 44 and time clicking away, the Irish faked a drop into the shotgun that was designed only to draw the Seminoles offside. The results were something that looked like a Chinese drill and a 5-yard penalty against Notre Dame quarterback Tim Koegel for simulating the snap. It forced the Irish to punt with 2 1 2 minutes left, and they proceeded to drop a 19-13 decision to the Seminoles, only the eighth team to win its first game in Notre Dame Stadium.

"Obviously, that play was something they do in the high schools of southern Ohio," an astonished Florida writer remarked. IRISH COACH Gerry Faust insisted there really was a play in mind when Koegel dropped back, faking a pass with to us from Tulane," Koegel added. But nothing worked, anyway, as Notre Dame suffered numerous mental breakdowns en route to its third loss in five games. Crable said he was faked into losing his footing on the first of two touchdown passes by the Seminoles' Rick Stockstill, who engineered the upset of Ohio State last week. THEN THERE were successive personal fouls by free safety Rod Bone that kept a pair of third-quarter Seminole scoring drives alive, not to mention the failure of the other Irish quarterback, Blair Kiel, to Tun an open bootleg into the end zone.

The Irish defense also kept running past tailback Ricky Williams, who made 135 yards on 15 carries when the Seminoles found they could run a draw against the vigorous Irish rush. "Three times, the linebackers ran right by me when I had the ball because they were trying to get to Stockstill," Williams said after gains of 29 and 36 yards set up the first Seminole TD. Stockstill was held to 100 yards on 11 of 27 passes, his wrjst effort of the year, but he came through in the clutch as Florida State, facing the toughest road schedule in the country, rolled its record to 4-1. THE SEMINOLES lost to Nebraska before upsetting two of the Midwest's top teams and next head to Pittsburgh and LSU. "I never believed that, we would be where.

"What's going on?" he yelled to no one in particular. Soon, the clubhouse attendant, carrying a burning match, slipped into the manager's office.

"Better get used to it, Dallas," he said. "They dont got no lights in Wrigley Field, Besides whipping his schizoid baseball team up for the National League East playoffs against the Montreal Expos, Dallas George Green's most difficult task this week has been denying he's going to take the job he's going to take that of supreme potentate for the sickly Cubs. It seems that the story won go away until he goes away, and the lead man in this whirlwind chuckles about held a parade here last year when we won the World Series," Green says. "This year, my players will hold one even if we dont win it." BUT THEN, MAKING FRIENDS by assuming a weak posture never has been Green's tact.

On paper, the Phillies were unbeatable. However, when the going got tough, they always failed the electrocardiogram test. "We had no emotion, no character, no resolve," Green said Friday after his Phjllies took the first of their two home victories over the Expos. "These guys were all stars, and it was like they were too cool to show that losing hurt. Well, if hating their manager every day was what they needed to get them going, then that's what I had to do." Green succeeded mightily, taunting pampered players with embarrassing epithets, or merely maintaining a stone-cold silence which, in concert with his impressive frame, was an equally loud reminder.
