Or maybe they don't want to understand. Whatever the reason, the panorama of Atlanta Stadium is dominated by empty blue seats as Henry Aaron approaches Babe Ruth's record of 714 home runs. In a modern ball park with 52,870 seats, there were 42,299 empty seats Wednesday night and 42,659 empty seats the night before. (The Braves drew 17,836 Saturday night.) Of those who came, 'the majority were white. One reason is that the Atlanta Braves ticket prices are two high for many blacks WHEN THE BRAVES conclude their season against Houston this afternoon, a bigger crowd is anticipated.

But until more people appear, Atlanta is the disgrace of baseball. It prides itself as a historical city but it's ignoring history. Atlanta doesn't deserve Henry Aaron's drama. He'd be better off on a barnstorming "One day, too late," says a member of the Brave organization, "the people here are going to realize what they had."

But he remains quiet, almost gentle. He remains gentle, pleasant, and polite. So polite that he pretends the small crowds don't bother him. "I've got a job to do," he says. "It doesn't make any difference to me if there are 750 people watching or 75,000.

mm SAUS In his free time, he maintains his privacy. But at the ball park, he is a man of history. Cameras follow him. When he sits at his-, locker in the hours before a game, a group of about 15 newsman from all over the country surround him. They're here to cover him, nothing else.

When he comes to bat, it's as if they were covering a time bomb. On every pitch, the time bomb ticks. After a game, he appears in a special interview room adjacent to the clubhouse. "ARE YOU ENJOYING this?" he was asked the other night. "I refuse," he said with a big grin, "to answer that." It's not easy for him to enjoy it.

Not after having answered many of the same questions for months. But he tolerates it patiently. Throughout his career he has performed the same way stoically, without flare, without emotion. He seldom creates headlines with anything except his home runs. "Things do bother me," he was saying now at his locker, "but I react differently than other people.

Some guys go 0-for-4 and throw their helmets or kick things, but I think, 'Why did I pop up? Why did I strike out? This is how I try to teach my kids to sit down and figure it out." He has four children Gaele, a junior at Fisk University in Nashville, Henry Larry, and Dorinda. "I always feel there's room for improvement," he continued. "Like if I hit two homers and a double, I wonder why I wasn't able to hit three homers. In a way I'm never satisfied, but I also believe that, in playing baseball or any sport, you can't be as good as the other guy every day." HIS ATTRIBUTE is consistency. Thickly muscled through the chest and shoulders, his body has supported that consistency.

So has his mental outlook. "The reason I'm not showing much emotion in all this," he said, "is that I've been doing it through the years. I don't recall having a bad year. I think my best year was 1959 for hitting the ball. I hit .355 but for a long time I was well over .400, then I sprained my ankle running after a fly ball in the old Philadelphia ball park.

I stepped on a bottle. "I didn't begin to think of myself as a home run hitter until I was around a few years. When I was a rookie in 1954, we had Eddie Mathews and Joe Adcock and I considered myself a guy who got on base. But wrhen I got older and stronger, I also got more selective with the pitches I hit and that turned me into a home run hitter. Then it was my responsibility." HENRY AARON rubbed the big yellow callous at the base of his left palm.

"I realized that home run hitters drive Mercedes or Cadillacs," he said, smiling. "What kind of a car do your drive yourself?" one of the newsmen asked him. "I have a Caprice," he said, referring to a Chevrolet model. "It gets me around." In the laughter, Henry Aaron smiled and stood up. He put on his uniform shirt with the big 44 on it and adjusted his red, white, and blue cap.

"Let me go hit," he said. In his unhurried manner, he walked through the long concrete tunnel to the field surrounded by the empty seats.

Bahe 1 9 9 Goeller 1 17 17 a 29-yard field goal for a 10-7 Wisconsin lead with 7:57 left. The last 7 minutes, 57 seconds turned into a spectators' delight. Humm engineered an 80-yard drive in six plays, including passes of 27, 21, and 23 yards, the latter to Anderson for the touchdown. Jubilation in the stands was cut short when Washington grabbed the kickoff on Wisconsin's four, sped past a wall of Cornhuskers about the 40. and then left frantic pursuers in his wake for the third longest Badger kickoff return in history.

BUT, ONCE more Humm was up to the task and the Badgers couldn' hold off the last charge. The Huskers covered 83 yards in seven plays with Davis, a self-styled un-stopable running back, proved his point with a 14-yard touchdown run. The Badgers gave it one more good shot though, charging from their 38 to Nebraska's 36. This time the Cornhuskers made the big play defensively, stopping Washington with no gain on a fourth-and-two. Again Jim Schymanski, Mike Jenkins, Rick Jakious, and Vesperman performed brilliantly on defense, but everyone at one time or another seemed to come up with key plays.

Mark Zakula, with 7:09 left in the first half. Franz intercepted on Wisconsin's 25, returning 16 yards to the 41. Bohlig's 12-yard pass to split end Art Sanger and Marek's 30-yard run, back to back, gave the Badgers a first down on Nebraska's 14. Marek banged for 13 yards in the next four carries and then Washington came in to punch over for the final yard. Barrios' kick tied the game at 7-all with 3:02 left in the half.

Humm brought the Huskers right back down to Wisconsin's 17 with six straight completions, but lost his seventh throw of the series on an interception by Lewis with three seconds on the clock. NEITHER team mounted much offense the last 10 minutes of the third quarter, but Wisconsin's Randy Rose fumbled the center snap on a punting attempt and the Badgers relinquished the ball at their 31 on the last play of the period. The Huskers gained only four yards on three plays and Franz came up with a great defensive stop, throwing Dave Goeller for a four-yard loss on a fake punt. The tide turned in Wisconsin's favor with 11:39 to go, when Davis fumbled and Lewis recovered on Nebraska's 32. The Badgers managed one first down but an illegal motion penalty stalled the march and Barrios drilled (from page yards, another Nebraska record.

Anderson caught nine of Humm's aerials for 141 yards, including key receptions on both fourth-quarter drives. The two touchdowns occurred within a stretch of about three and a half minutes and they wiped out Wisconsin's bid for one of the most memorable upsets in the school's history. "Nebraska's got a helluva football team," a well wrung-out Jardine said in Wisconsin's steaming locker room afterward. "The mark of a good team is exactly what they did. Come back." The victory was the Corn-huskers' third straight, while the Badgers lost their third in a row by a combined total of eight points and meet Wyoming in another non-conference game Saturday at Camp Randail.

Nebraska started its first scoring drive on its third series, midway through the first quarter. Humm directed the 52-yard surge, completing three passes in as many attempts, the third to Davis for the final nine yards. THE BADGERS managed their initial first down on the last play of the opening quarter and they didn't get their second until after linebacker Jim Franz intercepted a Humm pass, deflected by end ATLANTA U) Hank Aaron said Saturday he has contracted with a talent agency that promises to generate more money for him in the next two years than he has earned in 20 years of baseball. Berle Adams, president of WMA Sports a subsidiary of the William Morris Talent Agency Inc. of New York, said the firm will represent Aaron in a total entertainment package that may include films, television, endorsements, testimonials, and speaking engagements.

"There will be a book written and a motion picture developed based on Hank's life story," Adams said at a news conference. "We'll offer Hank all the principal TV show appearances he is willing to accept." AARON SAID it was the largest money-making advertising and promotional contract he has signed during his career. He said that he has not made as much money in endorsements during his career as other athletes have made. "I have waited very patiently for this day," Aaron said. "I hoped that one day something like this would happen.

Now I'm hoping that all Admirals Sign Uihlein MILWAUKEE (UPtt-Phil Uihlein, a 'member of last season's University of Wisconsin hockey team which won the NCAA national title, will play for the Milwaukee Admirals, the club announced these things come true." When asked by a reporter if he could visualize himself singing or dancing on television, Aaron said, "No, I don't want to make a fool of myself. "I AM a baseball player. I have never played in a movie before, but it wouldn't frighten me if I had to." Adams said Aaron should make from $1.5 to $2-million for television appearances and other promotional activities. "In the next two years we will generate more income for Henry Aaron than he's earned in the last 20 years in baseball," Adams said. "If we don't deliver, he has a right to terminate (the contract)." "We will not saturate the market with Henry Aaron items," Adams said, "we can do the job for Henry Aaron we have done for other per-s a 1 i i such as Mark Spitz." "OUR MAIN thrust will be to team Hank with a consumer-oriented product and one carefully selected major company, which will present Hank as its spokesman.

"Hank will be the home run king for a long time and as the king he will be the toast of the world. We are planning a personal appearance tour and commercially productive tie-ins in Japan, Mexico and other baseball countries in Latin America." Aaron, going into the last day of the 1973 season, has 713 home runs one shy of Babe Ruth's career record of 714. Stire Rt. 3 Sy ne Road Phen 271. lOOO South Pork St.
