Spokane, March 29, 1981. THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW C7 sports briefs Why won't Johnny catch? It hurts! George Raveling Olt 1 A t- 41iliftaP.7' Campbell captures 3 awards ofeeett, i 4,, dor-v 1: 1 Washington State University WHY HAS JOHNNY BENCH of the Cincinnati Reds declared he will only catch two games a week this season? Well, how about the fact Bench has had (during his career) his left foot broken six times, his right foot broken four times, had a broken thumb, a split thumb, cartilage damage, lung surgery, shoulder surgery, lower back problems and at least 100 cortisone shots in his elbow. Need we report more? Yes, Dee Dee, Magic Johnson has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated five times during his young career. Did you hear about 5-4 Anthony Webb, a Texas High School hotshot who can dunk the basketball with two hands behind his head? Its true! WE HEAR THE COACH of the Hartford Whalers of the NHL will be either Don Cherry or Boston University coach Jack Parker. The highest scoring female high school basketball player in the nation is Linda Page of Dobbins High School in Philadelphia, Pa.

Linda has scored over 2,300 points during her career and she is averaging 49.9 points a game. her highest scoring game was 100 points. Linda's choice for college will come from Old Dominion, North Carolina State and St. Joseph's. Did Dick Howser really quit? Yankee owner, George Steinbrenner says, "I should have said 'Dick you're fired' just like everybody does it.

Instead, I tried to let him get all his business deals lined up, let him resign with dignity. Next time I'll just say, 'You're fired." DO THE FANS in the stands se the action on the basketball court better than the referees? Listen to former Pac-10 official Lou Soriano, who is an NBA referee evaluator. "Everbody in the stands has a better view. The players are all 6-8 and the referees are all 5-10. It's like standing in back of a crowded elevator and trying to make a call in the front of the elevator." Now you tell us Louie.

Where were you when I needed you against Oregon? Gosh, I love golfer Lee Trevino and his ability to not take life too seriously. Says Lee, "I don't care about money. I came into the world with no clothes on and I'm going out in a new suit. Who means a few car payments will be overdue this month. The following sign appeared at the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournament in Lan- dover, Md.

"Rita Jenrette, meet me on the Capi- A tol steps at midnight." Don't college students have great imaginations? WHY DON'T PEOPLE get just as upset about Dan Rather being paid $2 million as a television newsman, as they do about Dave Winfield getting a $1 million a year contract? Before you get too excited about the Oakland Raiders moving to Los Angeles, please be advised Al Davis signed an 18 month extension on the team's offices in Oakland. Next year's UCLA basketball team will be its best team in the last five years. With the sale of the Philadelphia Phi Ily team, it will be the ninth major league baseball ownership switch in the last two years. Can someone tell me what's going wrong? THERE IS NOTHING like college Here's an example why I say that: Gene Banks, 4 the senior forward on the Duke team, is a man with style. When introduced for his final home 0 appearance, Banks arrived at center court with an armful of roses.

He circled the court handiqg out the flowers to fans. I love it. The Denver news media is really pushing ex-Denver Nugget coach Donnie Walsh for the vacant basketball coaching position at the University of Colorado. A record 430 3-year-olds have been nominated for the May 2 Kentucky Derby. Also, a record 16 fillies are entered, a tribute to Genuine Risk.

University of Miami baseball coach Ron Fraser is also the owner and director of First City Bank of Dade County His Hurrican baseball team has already drawn 56,000 fans for its first 16 games. The crowd pays $3, $2 and $1 and are largely comprised of townspeople. Ron hopes to raise an unheard of $250,000 for the season. ARGENTINE SOCCER STAR Diego Armando Maratona reportedly makes $500,000 a month. Yes, a month.

could ask for more? There's an old saying I've always used: A Mexican is born looking for a party." PURVIS MILLER, who was dropped from the USC basketball team this season, is playing for the Anchorage Northern Knights of the Continental Basketball Association (NBA Minor League). At last glance Miller was averaging roughly 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Look for Miller to be picked in the second round of the NBA draft. Olympic hockey coach Herb Brooks was asked what he thought of Karl Malden portraying him in the TV movie on the United States victory at Lake Placid. "My wife was hoping that Redford or Newman would get the role so then she could play herself," said Brooks.

"Me, I just wish I had the money Malden made." Doug Moe, the coach of the Denver Nuggets, revealed he "begged Larry (Brown) not to take the UCLA job. You just can't win there. He almost wins the national title and a year later he's got guys stabbing him in the back." DID YOU KNOW you can walk off the street and play the famed Pebble Beach golf course in California provided you can pay the $60 green fees? Prediction: The next athletic director at the University of Oregon will be ex-UCLA basketball coach Gary Cunningham. The Pacific Coast Athletic Association is serious by romancing the University of Nevada-Las Vegas to join its conference. Who says our economy is in bad shape? On a Sunday at Santa Anita Race Track a total of $9,268,078 was wagered on the horse races.

What does it mean? Among other things, it probably I WASHINGTON (AP) Fullback Earl Campbell of the Houston Oilers was awarded three trophies at the National Football League Players Association annual banquet Saturday night. Campbell was named the American Football Conference's Most Valuable Player in addition to capturing both the AFC scoring and rushing titles. The NFLPA awards are the only awards involving a vote by the players. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Steve Bartowski was honored as the NM's Most Valuable Player. Other Falcon winners were Jeff Van Note, NFC Lineman of the Year, and Al Richardson, NFC Defensive Rookie of the Billy Simms of the Detroit Lions captured two honors, including the player vote for NFC Offensive Rookie of the Year, and recognition as the MT's scoring leader.

AFC winners included the San Diego Chargers' Gary Johnson, Defensive Lineman of the Year; the Oilers' Leon Gray, AFC Offensive Lineman of the Year; Oakland's Ted Hendricks, AFC Lineman of the Year, and Oakland's Matt Millen, AFC Defensive Rookie of the Year. Tampa Bay's Leroy Se 'mon received the NFC Defensive Lineman of the Year award and Minnesota's Matt Blair was named NFC Linebacker of the Year. 1,:, 8,4 EARL CAMPBELL Sounders sign star SEATTLE (AP) Roger Davies, the North American Soccer League's most valuable player of 1980, has signed a three-year contract with a two-year option to continue playing with the Seattle Sounders, the club announced Friday.

S63.99 SET VIP SET "The new contract will mean the league owners will split about 81.3 billion," according to union president Gene Upshaw. "That's $12 million apiece. With the each team guaranteed that much plus selling out their stadiums where is the incentive for paying higher salaries for a better product?" Upshaw asked. Surprisingly, the NFLPA is not pushing to the kind of free agent rules that have sent the average pay of a major league baseball player to 8130,000, about twice that of an NFL player. "Without the gross revenue sharing the owners will still get together and develop their own compensation agreements that allow will allow them to sign players for whatever price their original club will pay them," Upshaw said.

"In baseball the incentive is there to hire the best to improve your product and fill your stadium," Garvey said. "Where is the incentive when, your stadium is filled and you have 812 million from a TV contract?" Garvey concluded. Saturday's meeting was the first of four regional gatherings the union will hold with its members prior to the opening of negotiations later this year. to me opening or negotiations Later this year. WASHINGTON (AP) National Football League Players Association officials met with over 100 players Saturday to discuss priorities for the 1982 collective bargaining negotiations.

A key proposal of the contract talks will be the union's demand for a 55 percent share of each team's gross revenue. "We have found that we cannot bargain with the league's owners on an individual basis," said union director Ed Garvey. "The NFL owners a true monopoly have gotten together to control salaries." Garvey sees the 55 percent pot in one pool for all players in the league. According to Garvey, Incentives would be built into the agreement to ensure an equitable distribution of money based on performance and longevity in the league. "To the benefit of the league's owners it would mean an end to the big bonus and large contracts given first-year players," Garvey said.

The collective bargaining contract with the league ends at the end of the year, the same time the league's national television contract ends. A point that is not lost on the players' union. ends.
