IAN MENZIES Its Flynn 1 and White 0 Only a handful of fans are in the stands at White Stadium for game between Boston Tech and Umana Tech of East Boston. globe photo by wendy maeda Gone are the glory days of White Stadium football last Friday. "The game on the field is the same no matter who's in the stands." Boston school athletic director Rocco DiLorenzo paces -the sidelines. In the late 1950s, when he played for South Boston High, a night double header might draw 4000 fans.

"We've hit rock bottom with our facilities here," says DiLorenzo who has met on several occasions with the Flynn administration. "They've told me that White Stadium will get a major overhaul by next September. You can't hide the problems here. They're certainly out in the open." Graffiti, instead of banners or posters, are all that decorate the stadium, mostly on the press box wall.

The scoreboard is broken, a victim of vandalism; time is kept by an official on the field. Benches are rotted and some are missing. Paint peels from the sideline walls. Most locker facilities showers, toilets and water coolers don't work. But it's Friday afternoon, opening day for Boston high school football teams Umana Tech of East Boston and Boston Tech, and there's a game to be played.

There are about 60 fang, an average turnout for these teams and this stadium on a weekday afternoon.

'blatantly racketeering What prompted Kevin White's vituperative attack on the Mayor of Boston last week? And vituperative It was, with White, in the name of others, calling Flynn "a sham a showboat incompetent a boozer," as well as "a very mean guy" who has "duped" the voters. "Most politicians hate Ray Flynn," White told WBZ-TVs Jack Williams. "They're going to skin him alive he's not going to know what hit him he's not even fooling the press." Hardly professorial.

Even in his four mayoralty election campaigns. White never'got quite so publicly assaultive, personal or intemperate. Ostensibly what "bothered" him was that Flynn "fired a lot of my people." This seemingly came as a shock to the former mayor. "You just don't do that," he said a bit plaintively, perhaps adding silently, "tome." Flynn smartly turned aside White's bitter words with a soft answer "I'm sorry he feels that way I was surprised I'm not angry I don't feel that way about Kevin White." Flynn White 0. But that isn't to say that Flynn wasn't stung by White's barbs (he was), or that White, speaking for Boston's old pols, gave the real reason for his outburst.

And what was the real reason? "I'll tell you," said Flynn, speaking out more bluntly in a private interview. "The pols can no longer phone In here and make a deal, and they don't like it. "They can't talk to me directly. They have to go through the professional staff. "There are no deals.

I just want the best for the city and the people, 'i "The rules have changed dramatically." Vhat this tells us is that we're about to see, in a Boston frame, a political rerun of Michael Dukakis' first term as governor. Flynn, like first-term Dukakis, is refus- ing to play big-deal political ball. Thus we get White's prediction that "the pols will skin Flynn alive." presumably as they did Dukakis. But will they succeed? Not in Boston, where Flynn is visible and his motives understood. But the story could be different in the Legislature, to which Flynn and the city are beholden.

Tip: Watch the voting moves of Boston's State House delegation. It is Interesting to -note that while White was knocking Flynn on the tube last Wednesday, the mayor was out running 17 miles along Blue Hill avenue, through Roxbury, Mattapan, returning to Southie by way of Dorchester avenue. That he-was-warmly welcomed as he ran through the neighborhoods was confirmed by others. A black man on Blue Hill avenue aid: "It's nice' to see the white mayor from Southie running through the ghetto." "But you realize, Mr. Mayor, don't you, that some people do feel you are out on the road too much; notM your desk enough." -'Yes," said Flynn.

"I'm getting some criticism, but it's not coming from the neighborhoods. "This administration has a different style from Kevin White's. Some say we can't be doing enough inside if I'm outside, but it's a question of balance. "We've got to develop a spirit of cooperation in the neighborhoods. I've got to be there with them, roll up my sleeves, breathe with them, and bleed with them too.

"I've got to make them feel that government counts and government cares: give them pride in themselves and the city and I think that's happening. "This is the first time in my memory that we've had a racially harmonious summer a few problems, but not many." "Okay, Mr. Mayor, but who sits" in when you're out?" Flynn, who has no deputy mayors, no alter ego. as Kevin White had Barney Frank, is sensitive to this question but hints one will emerge. However, he points out his operation is decentralized and that his top staff people are doing well George Russell, treasurer; Stuart Vidockler, budget; Leon Stamps, auditor; Ray Dooley, Ladminlstrative services; John Connolly, development; Carmen Pola, constituted services; Rose- marie Sansone, business-cultural affairs.

And there is no question that the Boston Redevelopment Authority's new director, Stephen Coyle, is a winner. Flynn is growing in the Job. He's confident. He's sensitive to the city's financial problems; knows he needs new revenues and believes he can convince the Legislature to givthe city greater fiscal freedom.

The Concord Board of Selectmen had Just voted 5-0 not to allow the Air National Guard to make a replica of the town's historic Minuteman statue. The Guard had wanted to put a copy of the statue in front of its new support center at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland with the town' permission, and David Emerson, whose famous forebear wrote the poem inscribed on the ing-room-only hearing spoke overwhelmingly in favor of preserving the "historic bond" between the Minuteman and the Town of Concord. James W.
