FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla (AP) Major league baseball begins the first organized drug education in team sports history program that already has spawned a resentful attitude among some of those ordered to attend by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. The resentment stems from handling of the public announcement of the program, to be held for all team personnel except players, and his open admission that have been some of drug abuse among baseball players. And it exists despite the equally public admission by pitcher Chuck Dobson of the Oakland that he had taken What is particularly disturbing to some is the implication that drug abuse among players is widespread, apparently caused by statement that are not naive about the threat of drugs. We feel we need a way it read, it sounded like baseball had a big drug problem and was clamping Mike Burke, president of the New York Yankees, pointed out Monday on the eve of the series of seminars that begin here late Tuesday afternoon.

It has precipitated the annoyance that is obvious in Elston Howard's voice when the mer catcher, now a coach with the Yankees, talks about having to attend the first session. whole thing started with Bouton and said Howard, referring to books written by former Yankee pitcher Jim Bouton and former linebacker Dave Meggyesy of pro St. Louis Cardinals, who both cited the use of drugs in their sports. going with an open Howard continued. going to be free to ask any question I want and to say what I please.

(AP) Bob Foster defends his disputed light-heavyweight title Tuesday night against another of those sleepers from Carroll. Foster is a heavy favorite to beat Carroll in the scheduled 15 rounder, but then so was Jose Napoles a heavy favorite a few months ago to ease past Billy Backus in a welterweight title fight. Backus of Syracuse upset Napoles to take the crown. If the 30-year-old Carroll digs through the newspaper files discover that Babe Risko and Carmen Basilio, both of Syracuse, were decided underdogs the nights they won boxing titles.

This will be fifth defense of the championship he won in 1968 by stopping Dick Ti- ger. He has successfully turned back title challengers of Frank DePala, Andy Kendall, Mark Tessman and Roger Rouse His only defeat since becoming champion was outside the the hands of the World Boxing Association. The WBA, in what Foster and his manager, Lou Viscusi, term a personal vendetta, recently withdrew its recognition of Foster as light heavy champion and now lists Vicente Rondon of Venezuela as the division king. Rondon knocked out Jimmy Dupree of Jersey City, N.J., last Saturday night to earn the WBA title. The WBA said it defrocked Foster because the champion failed to defend against a worthy opponent within a reasonable time.

Foster brings a 41-5 record into the ring at the Catholic Youth Center for first title fight in 45 years. The last time they crowned a champion in this eastern Pennsylvania city was when Pete Latzo upset 4-1 favorite Mickey Walker for the welter title in 1926. The CYC seats about 4,500 for boxing, which would bring a gate of some $40,000. Foster gets 40 and Carroll 20 per cent. TOere is no radio or television scheduled.

Carroll, who is ranked sixth by the WBA and fourth in the 175-pound division by Ring Magazine, has a record of 25-2, losing once early in his career to Joe Burns and last Nov. 18 to Ray Anderson. While he stands just under six feet, give Now Girls, You Be Serious, Can You? away height and reach to the 6-3 Foster. Foster won four of five bouts last year, including title defenses against Rouse and Tessman. He tried for the heavyweight championship last Nov.

The girls, Karen Jacobson and Faith Sandri, both juniors, have been practicing as coxswains.

A coxswain steers the shell, or boat, counts the strokes for the rowers and acts as a coach during the race. The job calls for no muscles, but the girls have been exercising anyway to build team spirit. The girls admit they signed on the crew for a laugh, but soon became part of the team.

I love sailing and this sport is close to The girls say they want to endanger the organization, so they are willing to step aside rather than jeopardize the club, if necessary. They also face opposition from Arthur W. McGarth, school principal, who notes that the rowing club, now in its first year, seems to be headed toward competition with other schools. Under the rules of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Council, which governs such competition, girls are not allowed, he said.

McGarth added that the school had made no provisions for supervising girls on trips.

The Beetle we make today bears a striking resemblance to the 22 Beetles that preceded it. That's because we invested all of our time in making a Volkswagen run better and last longer, instead of wasting our time making it look different. To date, we've changed and improved our basic model thousands of times. And some things we left alone. You can still squeeze a lot of mileage out of one gallon of gas.

Our air-cooled engine is still impervious to temperatures of 10 below and 110 above. And when you part company with a Volkswagen, you still get something tangible to remember it by. Something green. In fact, according to the NADA Official Used Car Guide, the same Volkswagen Beetle that sold for about $500 I ess than the average economy car three years ago, now sells for about $200 more. today, as we look at all the new economy cars trying to learn in one year what it took Volkswagen 23 years to learn, we can muse on something somebody said almost 200 years ago.
