TIME OUT By Steve Gillispie star Sports Writer Monday, Morch 20. 1972 'I'hf Ijt NFL Owners To Discuss Threat Of Free Agents SPLIT BETWEEN PLAYERS AND MANAGEMENT SEEN AS BIGGEST PROBLEM College Cage Coaches Busy Kven though the season has ended, this is one of the busiest times of the year for state college basketball coaches. In addition to recruiting chores, many are also making final plans for their summer basketball schools that high school athletes attend. Hastings Lynn Farrell has his fourth annual cage school set for two sessions. May 28-June 3 and Aug.

6-12. Farrell has pulled something of a coup by featuring Columbus High Jack Johnson. Johnson could be quite a drawing card since his Class A championship team broke an 11-year domination by Omaha and Lincoln schools. However, the Hastings' school won't overshadow the Doane College basketball school much, if any. Tiger coach Bob lineup of coaches almost reads like Who in Nebraska prep cage circles.

Among the coaches who will appear at Doane are Walt Harris, Bill Ramsey, Omaha Tom Hall. Pawnee Larry Ribble, Denny Bargen, Rod Felix, Lincoln Wally McNaught, Tom Rine, Jack Owen, and Springfield- Bill Buza. The school at Crete will be held for the ninth year HONOLULU In the heat of continued management player hostility, National Football League owners began meetings here Monday, with private confabs expected on the more than 50 players in a position to play out their options. Knowledgeable sources believe the owners must begin to prepare for the possibility of large numbers of players becoming free agents. Records in the office of Commissioner Pete Rozelle show there are 58 players who, if not signed by May 1, will become free agents.

Some have not signed because of the vvage- price freeze, others have said or implied that they plan to play out their options if their demands, monetary or otherwise, are not met. The list includes IX'troit quarterback Creg Landry: Minnesota quarterback Cary Cuozzo and wide receiver A1 Denson: Chicago wide receiver Dick Gordon: New York defensive back Spider Lockhart, and Fred Dryer, the defensive end traded by the Giants to the New England Patriots. Indications arc that the major problem is not the governmental wage guidelines but the ideological split between the players and management. Only last week, in testimony before Congress at a House subcommittee hearing on labor management problems in professional sports, a group of players said relations between owners and players are marked by- mutual mistrust and lack of respect. sad to say, but said Bill Curry, veteran center for the Baltimore Colls and a member of the executive committt-e of the NFL Players' As.sociation.

side doubts the sincerity of the other, and I think dangerous forthc The problem is for as much money as the owners will bear and dis.satisfaction with the option clause According to the assrjciation, the player who has played out his option is not a true free agent because l)efore another club can sign him it must agree to compensate his old club to satisfaction. Wholesale team-jumping by players who have played out their options and become free agents is viewed with ni seriousness by the NFL owners. In an attempt to try to establish better lines of communication with the players, the owners already have taken one They appointed John Thompson, a longtime club administrator, as executive director of an player relations committee Modification of the option clause would be one other step the players would find to their liking, but owners arc not likely to do that In the public agenda for the meeting.s are a number of rule change proposals. of a Super Howl site and (liscueHion of the future of the Chicago All- Star game.

One Nebraska Lass Fam Auxier of Salem was the lone Nebraska starter on the College basketball team. She play the sport in high school but managed to crack an otherwise all-Iowa lineup the last two years. The senior helped her team to two state titles and a 37-5 record. Fam is now out for softball and was a member of last Warrior team. The Concordia Teachers bowling team took top honors at a meet recently.

Baacke and Warren Ruland both rolled over 200 in the last series in taking the win. Honors for members have been announced. Jacobs Falters At Jacksonville FIRST VICTORY SINCE 1970 Jacksonville, Fla. (iP) Tony Jacklin, a bright and breezy Briton, beat John Jacobs on the first hole of a sudden death playoff Sunday and won the $25,000 first prize in the Greater Jacksonville Open golf tournament. Jacklin scored a routine par four on the first extra hole to notch his first victory on the American tour since his 1970 United States Open championship.

Jacobs, a Vietnam of the Concordia basketball team Senior Ron Schroeder was picked the Most Valuable Player and honorary captain by his teammates. The 6-1 Wauwatosa, native averaged 14.4 points a game. He was also named to an all-opponent team selected by Luther College of Decorah. Iowa. Tom Faber was chosen the most improved player as he scored 94 points and grabbed 101 rebounds in 27 games.

He did in the Haylett Mile at the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic indoor track meet and won but was disqualified. He apparently stepped on the inside of the track for more than two consecutive strides. Nebraska Regents Pick Fieldhouse Architects By Associated Press A divided University of Board of Regents Sunday selected two firms one from Lincoln and one from Omaha as joint architects for the $12 million University of Nebraska-Lincoln Fieldhouse.

A 4-3 vote gave the business to the Leo A. Daly Co. of Omaha and the Lincoln combine of Clark, Davis Associates. A motion to include a third firm, Kirkham-Michael Associiitcs of Omaha in the approved archiUectural group was defeated on a 4-3 vote, as was a proposal to make the Leo A. Daly firm the lone architect for the job.

The Legislature recently approved a plan to use $2.4 million a year of cigarette tax revenue to finance a bond issue permitting an immediate start on construction of the multipurpose fieldhouse-coliseum. NU President D. B. Varner called the special regents meeting, explaining he wished to see the project get moving before bond interest costs increase. No other business was transacted at the meeting.

The division on the regents board stemmed from concern expressed by some that Lincoln firms have received an inordinate amount of business from NU projects and non-Lincoln firms should be dealt in more fully in view of the statewide nature. Voting in favor of the motion to hire the Daly and Clark- Davis firms were regents Robert R. Koefoot of Grand Island, Robert L. Raun of Minden, J. G.

Elliott of Scottcbluff and Edward Schwartzkopf of Lincoln. Voting were regents James H. Moylan of Omaha, Robert J. Prokop of Wilber and Kermit Wagner of Schuyler. Regent Kermit R.

Hansen of Omaha abstained from all votes. Initially, regent Wagner moved to select three firms Daly, KLrkham-Michaels and Davis-Clark as architects. Regent Prokop. supporting this effort, said there has been inequity in architectural in the past. He architeHs are not receiving equal opportunity to share in the business and said there is need to apply and good to such matters.

The same 4-3 split rejected three-firm motion, as well as an amendment offered by Moylan, which would have designated the Daly firm as lone architect. A fiscal foundation for the fieldhouse, to be located on state fairgrounds adjoining the campus, was laid by the legislature last year when it increased state cigarette taxes from eight to 13 cents a package and directed that most of the added revenue be split between the fieldhouse and a new state office building.

The 27-year-old Jacklin birdied the 71st hole to catch the front-running Jacobs with a four-under par final round 68. The 6-2 Jacob matched his 283 total-five-under par on the Hidden Hills Country Club course with a final round 70. Australian veteran Bruce Crampton finished birdie-birdie to tie Rod Funseth for third place in this event.

They were locked just one stroke back at 284. Crampton had a 70 and Funseth 71. Bob Murphy, who shared the lead starting this rain-delayed final round, had to rally for a 72 and 285. John Schlee was alone at 286 with a 69. Arnold Palmer had a 69 and was tied at 287 with young Jerry Herd, who made a fast finish with a five-under-par 67.

They were the only players under par. Lee Trevino had a and defending champion Gary Palyer of South Africa took a 73-291.

He reached the green with a three wood second shot and two-putted from 60 feet.

Someone may get hot and roll a real good game with a high handicap, but as far as known ability, got the best shot at The current leader in the singles. Bill Straub, fired a 742 scratch during last competition to take the lead in the handicap and high scratch and tie for the lead with Jim Dill in aM-events.

i Straub, a scratch bowler, and Dill, a past winner of the doubles title, both carry 1994 scores in the all-events. And, oddly enough, both were members of the Diamond Bar and Grill team, last defending champions, who all but sewed the spot up by totaling a new state record of 3234 scratch and a 3279 handicap during the team event two weeks ago. Though the record for high scratch of 778 set by Rocky Adams of Fremont in 1939 will probably not fall this year, 742 is the next highest in the history of the tournament. The doubles mark of 1389 set by Charles and Richard Hoffman in 1967 was eclipsed in the handicap by William Graham and John Culp of Fairbury who teamed for a 1291 scratch which, coupled with their 102-pin handicap, gave them a 1393 total for the doubles lead. The only records that been equalled or broken so far this year are in the all-events where Dick scored a 2050 in 1939 and the handicap when Gary L.
