Bramblett was a passenger In Cayavec's car. Cayavec's arrest was the second time this month an Alabama player has run headlong Into the law. Earlier, starting fullback Ken Simon was arrested and charged with a felony for allegedly firing a 16-gauge shotgun at a car occupied by two university law students.

Simon, who was released from jail after posting $2,000 bond, was not dismissed from the team because Bryant said he had not broken training rules. Bruited, but not broken: Dallas quarterback Danny White is black and blue, but he's maintaining a rosy outlook. White was sidelined Thursday when he was crunched by Chicago defenders Al Harris and Gary Fencik during the Cowboys' 10-9 win over the Bears. Team doctors say White sustained a deep bruise below the shoulder blade. Examination did not reveal any broken bones.

White says he'll be ready to face Baltimore a week from Sunday, but one Dallas team doctor indicated he did not think the quarterback would heal in time to take on the Colts. Cain's widow sues: Eugenia Cain, widow of J.V. Cain, the St. Louis Cardinal tight end who died of a heart attack during Cardinal training camp in 1979, has filed a wrongful death suit against the football team, the team's trainer and its physician. Cain's suit, asking "fair and reasonable" compensation, claims that medical tests given her husband by team medical officials before his death showed he was suffering from a damaged heart, but that entries in medical records maintained by the team said the tests, thony Carter in the process.

The 6-2, 200-pound Schlichter, who also won the award two years ago as a sophomore and who owns every Ohio State single-game and season passing and total offense record, said he was surprised by the honor. "It was unexpected when I won it as a sophomore," Schlichter said, "and even more so this year because there are a lot of good players around. It means a lot to me and my family." Schlichter, who led the Buckeyes (8-3) to a co-Big Ten title with Iowa, completed 172 passes in 324 attempts this season for 2,392 yards and 15 touchdowns. He ran for six more touchdowns. (A passing note: Schlichter's 458 yards through the air in OSlTs 36-26 loss to Florida State eclipsed by 18 the total yards passing that Woody Hayes' 1954 and 1955 teams collected in 18 games.) Banned by 'Bama: Two Alabama football players, including All-Southeastern Conference tackle Bob Cayavec, turned into turkeys Thursday when they were kicked off the team for.

Crimson Tide coach Bear Bryant refused to elaborate on why Cayavec and guard Gary Bramblett were dismissed, but sources said Cayavec was arrested by Birmingham police about 1:30 a.m. Thursday including an electrocardiogram, "recorded the heart to be normal." Cain says she was told by the team that her husband's heart problem "was undetectable by medical science during his lifetime," but that she learned from an autopsy report received last summer that the problems were detectable. Illegal hit: Mark Lee, Green Bay cornerback, is being sued by a woman bus driver the Packer football player was convicted of attacking last March in Seattle. The 23-year-old defensive back was convicted in June of simple assault on Sandra Campbell, 23.

Campbell's suit asks damages for medical costs and lost wages, claiming that the Metro bus driver still suffers the effects of a concussion sustained in the attack and that she will be unable to work before next spring. There was no explanation for Lee's attack on the driver, according to previous testimony, but witnesses said the football player was behaving Irratio nally before he suddenly attacked Campbell. Walton talks: Former Portland Trail Blazer Bill Walton testified for several hours Friday about his alleged cocaine use an outgrowth of his $5.6 million lawsuit against Dr. Robert Cook and an Oregon clinic. Multnomah County (Ore.) Circuit Judge Charles Crookham had ordered Walton to testify or face dismissal of the suit.

Walton claims Cook and the clinic were negligent in treatment for a stress fracture in his foot in 1978. Except for a few games with San Diego, Walton never again played pro basketball on a regular basis. Defense lawyers asked to question Walton to determine whether drug use had an effect on his injury or perceptions. After his testimony, a lawyer for Cook vowed there would be further Investigation, "based on what I've heard today."

I felt he fouled me, too." IF THOMAS had followed his first instinct, he would have been doing what coach Scotty Robertson had hoped he would do. "Isiah had an eight-foot shot and didn't take It. I wanted him to take that shot and tie the game, then we'd go from there." The result left the crowd wilted, drained and a touch disappointed that they had not been able to sit in on what may become the Miracle on Feather- CHET LEMON, from Page 1C Campbell, needing right-handed hitting, said by trading for Lemon, "We got one of the better outfielders In the American League." He said trade talks involving Lemon have been going on for nearly a year, having begun at last year's winter baseball meetings. The talks "intensified" during the recent playoffs and World Series, Campbell said. LEMON, LIKE Kemp, also has only one year remaining on his contract.

For the time being, though, according to Campbell, the right-handed hitter is "better suited to Sparky'S needs," referring to Tiger manager Sparky Anderson. Lemon will be replacing a popular player and also will be under pressure to perform. Detroiters already are buzzing, and possibly going overboard, about the impact of the trade. Eli Zaret, a Channel 4 sportscast-er, compared it with the Rocky Colavito-for-Harvey Kuenn trade. Since that one exchanged an American League home run champion for an American League TURKEY IB a bit.

Those who also are calling Kemp and Lemon comparable fielders are being very unfair to Lemon, who one-hand or no is one of the finest defensive players in the game. Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver, who for years has been trying to trade for Lemon, once called him "the most exciting center fielder in baseball in quite a while." The Tigers might have to move their strapping young center fielder, Kirk Gibson, to Kemp's old position. Lemon never has played anywhere but center and has no inclination to do so now. "There aren't too many places I would go where they wouldn't put me in center," Lemon said after getting word of the trade. "Maybe the Tigers would want to put Kirk Gibson In left." Chances are, Lemon will go along with whatever Anderson decides, but the Tigers might want to make their new acquisition happy if they intend to keep him more than one season.

Lemon, who's only 26, was part of a team that packed its ball park for most of the summer of 1977, when the White Sox stayed in the pennant race through late August. That'team was known as the "South Side Hit Men," and included Richie Zisk and Oscar Gamble, who along with Lemon started a trend of taking curtain calls from the dugouts following home runs.

"The trade sounds very poor to me it Just looks like the way the franchise goes, they don't want to pay anybody." The displeasure was not unanimous, though. "I'm really surprised," said John Stanish of Dearborn Heights.

"But I don't feel Kemp was worth $600,000 that cost us the game," Robertson said. Winfleld or nobody. I'm surprised, though they needed a pitcher, but I don't suppose Chicago would give up (Steve) Trout." Greg Williams of Detroit said he thought the trade was fair to everybody involved. "I think Lemon's a better defensive player and Kemp is better offensively," Williams said. "It's going to be interesting, but this guy (Lemon) will add speed and defense." "We did the same thing in Kansas City and managed to win, but you can't do that against a team like Atlanta." riW lVSM PLAYING CATCH-UP most of the night, the Pistons foiled themselves (the one-year salary he won in arbitra repeatedly when they got close.
