Today' schedule, TV-Radio, Page 77 paper than where he would be selected. Well, that's not exactly true. Hinz wants to see his football ca rreer played out before he begins "I count my blessings," said Hinz, who has an NFL body and can run the 40-yard dash in 4.55 seconds, credentials he hopes will get him at least a long look from the Patriots.

"I don't feel I'm going to be Intimidated by anyone out there." Hinz has security that few rookies have. In addition to a Harvard degree, he has been accepted to medical school at the University of Washington, where he intends to specialize in orthopedics. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do if this doesn't work out," he said. "I might want to see what future I have in football. See If anyone else would want me." Hinz obviously should be considered a long shot to make the Patriots.

But running back Marvin Allen was an llth-round pick last year and made the 45-man roster. Hlnz's chances hinge on how quickly he can Impress the coaches and how rapidly he can develop Into the blocker the Patriots want in their fullbacks. With veterans such as Mosi Ta-tupu and Craig James on the bubble for next season, Hinz could conceivably find himself in Intense competition for the sixth ana imal running back spot. His first obstacle will be Dar-ron Norrls, a 5-9, 215-pound running back from Texas whom the Patriots selected on the ninth round. But after a career at Harvard, where competition in the classroom can be as cutthroat as anything on the athletic field.

Tony Hinz is ready for just about anything he finds in the NFL. The Patriots took advantage of the break in the rain and worked out at Sullivan Stadium yesterday rather than going to Bryant College in Smithfield. R.I. They will conclude minlcamp this morning Veteran free agent Ed Reynolds has re-signed with New England for three seasons Tenth-round pick Emanuel McNeil, a 6-3, 285-pound nose tackle from Tennessee-Martin, was so impressed by a visit from director of scouting Joe Mendes, he told his agent that if the Patriots didn't draft him, he didn't want to play in the NFL and would opt for the Canadian Football League. one In medicine.

I dldn want to be sitting In a classroom studying molecular biology or organic chemistry wondering if I could still play football," said Hinz, the Patriots' llth-round draft choice. "So I guess I'm not ready to give up the game." Coming ov.i of high school In Great Fails, Hinz was ready to play at a level far higher than the Ivy League. He was an all-state running back who piled up major league numbers (1,650 yards, 20 touchdowns) in his senior season. With an SAT score of 1,300, Hinz had the scholar-athlete qualifications that drew an offer from Stanford. "I was all set to go there," said Hinz, who went through mini-camp this week with the enthusiasm of a youngster on Christmas morning.

"But my father told me that I should take a look at Harvard." Hlnz's father, Geoffrey, is a Harvard graduate and a practicing pediatrician. "Once I saw the place, I Just decided I wanted to come here," said Hinz. "I didn't want to go to a school where I would be obligated to play football." Hinz's no-obligation career at Harvard included premed courses and a three-year career as an outstanding running back on the football team. Although Ivy Leaguers generally, wind up in NFL front offices more readily than they do on rosters, Hinz assesses his chances with a realistic perspective.

GIFT CERTIFICATES LAY A WAYS TRADE INS BOB GAMERE Replaced by Crispino Gamere Ch. 56 dismisses weekend anchor By Jack Craig Globe Staff Personal misconduct has cost Bob Gamere another television job, this time as weekend sports anchor at Channel 56.

The station offered a terse statement last night saying only that Mike Crispino, the weeknlght anchor, would replace Gamere on weekends until further notice. The weekend duties also include hosting the 30-min-ute scoreboard show on Saturday and Sunday nights. Gamere has served as anchor since Channel 56 began its weekend news in January 1987, and has been host of the scoreboard show that began that fall. Station publicist Jim Byrne refused to explain the abrupt dismissal of Gamere and the double duty for Crispino. When asked whether Gamere's behavior had prompted the dismissal, Byrne refused to comment.

Gamere was unavailable for comment last night. Gamere, one of Boston's most colorful television sports personalities, served as sports anchor for 10 years at Channel 7 before being fired In 1980 after several publicized incidents involving misconduct. During much of that time, he was also host of the highly popular "Candlepins for Cash" bowling show on Channel 7. Last year he was stabbed during a near-fatal attack in the Fenway section of Boston. He eventually recovered, resumed work at Channel 56 and completed the Boston Marathon last month.

He has been a long-distance runner for many years. Gamere has held numerous broadcasting jobs over the years, including the play-by-play of Harvard football. He was a broadcaster for the. New York Yankees for one season before joining Channel 7. Gamere is a native of New Jersey and went to St.

Peter's Prep, then to Holy Cross, where he did play-byplay in various sports before graduating in 1961. His first professional job was with WTAG in Worcester, handling both Holy Cross football and basketball. Eight years later, he achieved a major breakthrough by being chosen from among 200 candidates to become the third man on Yankee broadcasts. During his reign at Channel 7, he was called a hot property, his on-air mariner the envy of news directors at Channels 4 and 5. He was considered to have network potential.

But Gamere's talent was offset by a flamboyant lifestyle. When something had to give, it was his career. As a result, he never quite cashed in fully on his popularity, partially because his great capacity for work was almost matched by that for play. He was demoted to weekend anchor and eventu-ally was dismissed on grounds of conflict of interest when he took "Candle-pins for Cash" to Channel 25. But his downfall had been precipitated a year earlier by bad publicity off cam- era.
