It seems ridiculous for a booster group facing real fi- tiancial distress to go for prominent coaches like Tarka- - ;j ! nian. Arslanian and Levy. But there was method to the apparent madness. UNLV,.)!, boosters hope to spend themselves out of a depression.! They hope the hiring of Tarkanian, especially, will enthuse fans and boosters to where they will honor their scholar- ' : ship financial committments. . i Right now in Las Vegas, then, there apparently isv; quite a circus going on. Tarkanian is successfully recruiting some of the nations outstanding basketball players. And boosters are f trying to recruit enough funds to pay for the athletes and for the extras it took to lure their new coach away from Long Beach State. ? a,' Rebel boosters, naturally, are hoping for an extra bonus from the football side of things. Right now, v though, theyre counting on Tarkanian and basketball to get that slow dough rolling in.

After the football team won a single game in 11 starts, though, there was much gnashing of teeth amid the pled- ges. Collections lagged. When the basketball season started poorly, too. the UNLV booster group reportedly hit rock bottom. The leg work, however, will be strictly up to the individual. And while the DN marathon boasts some of the prettiest scenery to ever accent a race track, its not an easy route to run. The Dodgers sent 10 batters to the plate in a four-rusecond inning which brought Don Sutton his eighth win with the ninth inning relief aid of Pete Riehert. ; " , Mauss wins at Brigham City bullpen with one on and two out in the nith to retire Willie Mays on an infield out.

There is contention amid many Reno boosters that UNLV has grown athletically ambitious beyond the wildest of money dreams and that could lead to ail sorts of prob- - old Weiskopf. i money well ran dry The my i . UNLV wooed basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian away from Long Beach State with a reported fantastic salary and an array of side benefits from a house and automobiles to free dental work for his family. Tarkanian brought several of his 49er teams to Utah for NCAA playoffs and was successful every time against Beehiv e quints. UNLV also went for Sarkis Arslunian. successful foot- ball coach at Weber State who wound up at Colorado State, and Marv Levy, former New Mexico and California head football coach, who went to Montreal of the Canadian Football League. UNLV finally wound up with Ron Meyers, a former pro scout for the Dallas Cowbovs. Two years ago. when the Open was played at Merion in Ardmore, Pa., Weiskopf came in feeling much as he might be feeling this week, fresh from a victory in the Kemper, and was in contention after the first round. Three weeks ago at Atlanta, the new Weiskopf was 10 strokes behind Nicklaus with 12 holes to go but I still believed I could win and wound up losing by only two shots. I've always known I was a good player. Weiskopf says. It was just getting myself up for it. I don't have any new' shots. I haven't added anything different. I've just been making a lot of putts the last two months. 1 The Las Vegas situation is closer to home for Utahns in more w ays than mileage.

Doherty, GEORGE c Making some pit stops across Nevada on route to Lake Tahoe, there is more than casual comment about llie athletic spiral at University of Nevada-La- s Vegas. . After testing the Oakmont course for the first time Monday, Weiskopf compared it to the Scottish and English courses because of the undulating greens and the many traps and bunkers.
