The call Williams had been waiting for since the NFL draft began Thursday at 7 a.m. had finally become reality. On the other end of the line was publicist Bill Glazier of the Oakland Raiders, informing Williams he had just been selected by the Bay Area team in the sixth round.

It marked the bittersweet conclusion of what must have seemed more like 10 years and 28 days to Williams. Before the draft, scouts had indicated to him that he would likely go in the second or third round and no later than the fifth. "I'm disappointed how long it took," Williams admitted. "But I'm happy to be drafted. That's the team I wanted to play for.

There's just something about the Oakland defense and the intensity they play with." Surprisingly, Williams had been anything but intense during his long wait for a call from an NFL team. If the 5-10, 194-poun-der had any strong emotions about not being picked for such a long time, he did a good job of hiding them. The night before had been an indication of how Williams felt about the draft, however. He stayed awake until 1:30 a.m. watching television, then woke up at 5 a.m.

A most disappointing moment of draft day for Williams came at 2:45 p.m. when he was informed the draft was halfway through the fourth round and 11 defensive backs had been picked. "I feel I should have been one of the 11," Williams said at the time. "I'd like to show people what I can do and show them they msde 3 mistske Soon after, there was a phone call informing Williams that a San Diego State player had been chosen. Tight end Donnie Warren was the fourth-round selection of the Washington Redskins and the 105th picked in the draft.

Williams would be the 156th, player taken. Although Williams was happy for Warren at the time, he also admitted the situation had become discouraging.

Don Coryell unfolded a tattered 3 by 5 card filled with a list of names. One of the names-Winslow-was at' the top of the list. And it had a circle around it. This was the man, Missouri tight end Kellen Winslow, the Chargers wanted.

And this was a man they never dreamed they would get in Thursday's National Football League draft. But they got him. "If you could draw up what you wanted in a tight end and put it into a computer," assistant general manager Tank Younger said, Kellen Winslow would pop out. I'm just surprised he was still there as a 13th pick." Indeed, it was also somewhat startling that the Chargers managed to have a 13th pick in the first round. They were scheduled to draft 20th, but worked a hasty deal with Cleveland and Tommy Prothro to get the pick and man they wanted, When it came time to announce the 13th selection, it was announced instead that San Diego had traded its first- and second-round selections to the Browns for the Lucky 13th.

And Kellen Winslow was the man the Chargers had taken. The news caused a roar to erupt from the 1,241 onlookers gathered in the Sports Club for the Chargers' Draft Central. The draftniks were aware of the esteem accorded Winslow and they, like the Charger brass upstairs, were surprised that he was still on the boards. "We rated Kellen Winslow the top Expo manager Dick Williams, kept the Padres alive in a six-run sixth inning that sent them on their way to a 10-2 win at San Diego Stadium. 1 "Check with the umpires," Williams said.

"I don't discuss umpires one way or the other. Then when you find out, let me know." They'd adjust. Banks aren't open on weekends and you don't hear anyone screamin' about that. "I look at it this way-you can't keep a guy from his recreation. If he's down on his luck, if money is really tight, he'll put his whole fishing trip on a credit card and worry about paying for it later." Brock's views are insightful because they reflect the tenacity with which many Americans regard their recreation pursuits.

But in Bishop, where most folks are plainly worried about gasoline shortages, Brock's is the minority view. If you're a fisherman, hunter, bird watcher, outdoors photographer, hiker, backpacker, cross-country skier or a downhill skier on your way to Mammoth, you know about Bishop. It's an Inyo County town of 14,000 in the Owens Valley, near the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Rec-reationwise, there's a lot to do here. If Bishop faces hard times ahead due to gasoline shortages, other recreation-oriented, rural California cities are in the same boat.

Thousands Please Turn to Page 14, Col. 2 1 if I ii Hi IS' WBkS Kellen Winslow football player in the country," Younger said. "And," said Coryell, the coach, "he happened to fit one of our needs." The Chargers' two top tight ends, Bob Klein and Pat Curran, are both in their early 30s, Klein at 31 and Curran at 33. Advancing age and pff-the-field business interests have probably brought both within a year-or, at the outside, two years of retirement. Hoping to get Winslow, the Chargers discussed a possible deal with Buffalo.

The Bills had the first and fifth selections. And the Chargers talked to the New York Giants, who had the No. 7 selection. Those deals fell through, however, so the Chargers turned their attention to Cleveland. They assumed Winslow would be gone by No.

Please Turn to Page 8, Col. 1 FOR PADRES Streak Ends, 10-2 There were, of course, a number of factors in the demise of Montreal's seven-game winning treak. The "funny calls," as Williams described them, were only part of it.

"We made some great plays defensively," said Padre manager Roger Craig, "and we hit the ball hard and we got great pitching. You figure to win games like that." The Padres got home runs from Jerry Turner, Dave Winfield and Dan Briggs, pivotal early game fielding plays from Fernando Gonzalez and Winfield and workmanlike pitching from Randy Jones (now 4-2) and Rollie Fingers. But the Padre sixth inning was the conversation piece. They scored six runs five more than Montreal felt they should have scored. The first run was a gimme.

At least the Expos would concede its legitimacy. Turner lined his fifth homer of the season over the 370-foot sign in right-center after one was out. Much of what happened thereafter was considered by the Expos to be somewhat debatable. At least Williams did considerable debating. Winfield walked and stole second.

Catcher Gary Carter's throw got to second baseman Rodney Scott before the runner, but umpire Frank Cam-pagna indicated that Winfield had eluded the tag. When Mike Hargrove singled to right, Winfield scored the run that Please Turn to Page 9, Col. 1 Islanders and Bruins Tie the Semifinals Story on prge 6 'WQhteffi1 in iirr With two choices in the first round of the National Football League's annual player-selection meeting Thursday the Rams drafted for both defense and offense. In order they chose: A linebacker from Nebraska, George Andrews, 6-3V6, 230, who played as a graduate student (in business administration) last year under a new college football rule. An offensive tackle from Georgia Tech, Kent Hill, 6-5, 260, who was a wishbone formation tight end until recently.

Said Andrews: "I can't ever remember meeting a Ram scout. Five pro teams from Philadelphia to Seattle brought me in to look me over and I talked to most of the others but I never dreamed the Rams were interested. I'm surprised but happy and excited to be going there." Dick Steinberg, the Rams' new director of player personnel, said: "We spend most of our time checking marginal players, the ones we aren't sure of. The only question about Andrews was whether he'd still be on the board. He and Kent Hill both fit the mold of those who can play pro ball." As the 28 NFL teams began their annual two-day draft of college talent, there were these other developments: Ohio State linebacker Tom Cousineau went to the Buffalo Bills as the first player selected.

Cousineau represents this year's hope of NFL scouts for "another Dick Butkus." As the first quarterback and third player drafted, Washington State's Jack Thompson went to the Cincinnati Bengals, whose quarterback roster includes Ken Anderson and John Reaves.

Two critical calls, both disputed by SAN DIEGO COUNTY BUSINESS -J- CC PART III FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1979 Sutcliffe Gets Dodger Sick Call and Beats Phillies BY MIKE LITTWIN Staff Wrltar Burt Hooton was sick to his stomach Thursday. The Philadelphia Phillies didn't feel much better Thursday night. Certainly, the aspirins Rick Sutcliffe threw them were no help. Waiting in the wings, in this case the Dodger bullpen, Sutcliffe answered the sick call and pitched a 5-2 Dodger victory. It was the second start of the rookie's career.

But the first, back in 1976 in what was basically a throw-away game, hardly counted. "This one feels like the first," said Sutcliffe, a big right-hander who was so impressive in spring training that manager Tom Lasorda had no choice but to keep him. "This is a chance for me to prove myself. I'm glad it's against a team like the Phillies." That tells you something of Sutcliffe, who has been the team's long reliever. He wanted the Phillies.

He's a bulldog. He's less overpowering than he is tenacious. He's also 2-2 now with his first complete game and a seven-hit confidence builder. When Lasorda learned early in the day that Hooton was suffering from an intestinal virus, he had wanted to pitch Don Sutton, tonight's scheduled starter. But Sutton, whose arm is conditioned to five days of rest, demurred.

Enter Sutcliffe. At 2:30 p.m., it was Just another Thursday. But this was to be no normal day's work. "When Tom told me about it," Sutcliffe said, "I really got excited. This shows he has confidence in me, I hope I don't let anybody down." He didn't.

And the Dodgers, namely Joe Ferguson, didn't let him down, either. Ferguson drove in two runs and made a run-saving throw in right field, where he was playing in place of Reggie Smith. Sutcllffe's performance helped to end a three-game Dodger losing streak. Sutcliffe looked about as happy as, well, a 22-year-old rookie who had Just won the biggest game of his life. "I'm going to go out and spend $100 on newspapers tomorrow, That's when the thrill will really hit Twice the Phillies might have had him.

After the critical first two rounds the score was UCLA 4, USC 1. UCLA defensive tackle Manu Tuiasosopo became the first local athlete drafted, going to the Seattle Sea-hawks as No. 18 on the top round. As No.

21, UCLA linebacker Jerry Robinson was picked by former Bruin coach Dick Vermeil of the Philadelphia Eagles. The Rams, with choice No. 19, selected Big 8 linebacker Andrews. Another Bruin was the first man taken on the second round. He's halfback James Owens, No.

29, who became the San Francisco 49ers' top pick this year. The 49ers will convert him to wide receiver. As No. 37, fullback Theotis Brown of UCLA was chosen on the second round by the St. Louis Cardinals, who also took a running back on the first round Otis (O.J.) Anderson.

The only Trojan named as high as the second round was guard Pat Howell, the 49th player selected and a steal by the Atlanta Falcons, who edged into the playoffs this winter with an offensive line that still needs improving. Not since 1975 (when Pat Haden was a seventh-round choice) has USC been blanked on the first round. In 1977, the Trojans put three into the first round and they could do it again next year with Anthony Munoz, Brad Budde and Charles White. -UCLA was one of six schools represented by a pair of top-round choices. The others were Nebraska, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Alabama and Miami.

Among those shut out along with USC were Notre Dame and Oklahoma. Sixteen of the 28 first-round draftees played in the South, Southeast and Southwest. Four played in the Pac-10. The rest of the country, Please Turn to Page 10, Col. 1 anywhere, and that he won't be overmatched at Churchill Downs.
