The Houston Astros fat lire some very interesting individual studies. They have Jimmy Wynn.

In his presentation, the owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, who Plttle hitter in the league, and Joe Pepitonp, who is the best ex- Alrica. In his first two matches covering six sets Ashe, who is seeking Vankee in baseball, and Larry Ii-rker, who is the hardest thrower ti Texas, and Harry Walker, who could talk Spiro Agnew into the -round except that he ajrrf-es with him, and Jim Bouton, who throw? the knu klcball and writes, both pretty wild at times.

And how he finally found him on a trip to Florida, where he was attempting to lease the Orange Bowl for his friend, Ralph Wilson, later to become owner of the Buffalo Bills. a former Australian nov living in Italy, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. Miss Martinez bowed to Mrs. Judy Dalton of Australia, 0-1.

MAHGARET COURT of Australia, had an easy advance through the first round, beating He may not the season. Wliv would a ballplayer risk these things? For" the answer, vo must trv to understand the type of man Bouton is. The title of his 'book is "Hall Four." Not Strike hm Hall Four. He is a pitcher. That tells 'i something abou' Hou'on.

So does this: 1,1.1 Tlr. i I I ti. i last near. villi tnt Hunt wanted a coach to help him start a dynasty, but the great Mrs. Marijke Sehaar of Holland, names weren't interested and didn't believe the upstart league Ynnl.res.

His collaborator on the book. Leonard Sl.ectcr. is a social leper. People like this, embittered people, sit down in their time of rejection and write. They write, bell, everybody everybody but me, and it makes them fee: 6-1, 6-1.

I'rior to the day's program, Ashe joined with three other independent professionals Hoad, Zeljo Franulovic and Hie NLastase in a press conference at nan a jrnost oi a c-nance. "I had met Hank the first time when he was assistant coach at SMU." Hunt said. "It was in the locker room after a victory over Notre Dame, and I'm sure he doesn't remember it or me. But when I got to Miami that time I recalled he was now working as an assistant at the University of Miami, so I phoned him." Mram invited the young zillionaire over to watch practice and which they congratulated the tournament sponsors for refusal en h.e ran films for him, a session during which he expounded mm bet tef. One day la-t year.

Jim Bouton made a big decision. He would no lontrer be so superior. He would get down in the cretin class, with the rest of the ballplayers. He would make the big effort: I' re resulted nut In he mi outsider this year. I'm vol reading ynnrh, iiiul no one i'ii an-nse me of playing the intellectual.

If giiis fn out lo a Imr after a game for a fen' drinks, I'm goiiif to give in to the contract pros. The French refused to pay appearance money to the two big pro troupes George MacCalTs National Tennis League and the World Championship Tennis, Inc. and the pros boycotted the event. too II lnj should I be of llie Why should I yield to unfits' ilrrnnse I firlierr that if non're a marrinal nlttner rne iml, its and the maniifer ion re not (jetting along iritll the gain. it ran mnl.i ii re tire 1.1s Ki mil on piniosopny.

inree montns later, Hunt still liad no coach, and he made the decision to give the little-known assistant the job. That's how Stram began the 10-year coaching regime which led him to the world championship and made him the only coach to go the full decade distance in the AFL. In accepting the Superman Award, the dapper, dynamic Stram began by saying that football always would be a game of people. "Our real challenge as coaches," he said, "is getting young people to express their ability and to realize their potential." Dedication, Sacrifice. Paving the Price He wras talking about dedication, commitment and sacrifice in the same way Vince Lombardi always has talked about them, and about paying the price, which was the bedrock philosophy of Earl (Red) Blaik at Army who, in turn, had learned it from (ien.

Douglas MacArthur. Vindication as a great coach has been a long time coming for Henry Louis Stram, the grandson of a gallant little girl from Poland who couldn't find her parents. But it has arrived, just at the dawn of the bright, new merged world of pro football. Talk about life's little ironies, during the Awards Dinner, Allit Sherman was next door, one partition away, serving as a guest speaker at a conclave of personnel managers. So near and yet so far from the game to which he has devoted his life.

How close did Allie come to returning to football as a member of the conglomerate which was attempting to buy the Jets? "Not very close." says Phil Iselin, president of the Jets. "It wasn't a lir Is His lnli iiliialif Now? That tells you hintr about Jim Bouton. He is saying. I'm to be a bum if it kills me. He is willing to surrender his proud individuality in order to survive.

Tin- rai a question: If a man is such a superior individual, why doe he bother to i on for another year in such a shabby environment? Surely a man of his high intelligence, his drive, his nobility of pose. can make or more elsewhere.
