Subscriptions to this mind-boggling sports bonanza should come with instructions on how anyone with the slightest degree of responsibility — say, a job or a family — can be expected to take in that much competition.

The fact realignment makesgeographical sense cannot be denied — except by 80 percent of today’s high school seniors who,if you believe recent surveys, think Chicago is a State bordering Mississippi and Australia. But the Cubs are behaving more like freshmen, kicking and screaming about possible fan disaffection and television revenue losses. Come on, we're talking about fans who would tune into superstation WGN at 3 a.m. to watch Harry Carey slur through yet another miserable season.

From 1B “I could easily been 5-up at the turn, but made some three-putts that allowed him to win holes with pars,” said Rupe. “I was jabbing with the putter and wasn’t making good strokes.” Making a great pitch to within four feet of the cup and his ensuing birdie to win No. 9, seemed to wake Williams up and give him all of the momentum. “I thanked him afterwards for letting me back on the front,” said Williams. Once on the back nine, it was Williams who was afforded the breaks. He won No. 10 when Rupe knocked his tee shot into the trees and No. 12 when Rupe found anothertree. Winning those holes and No. 15 put Williams into a 2-up cushion. After the trial’s first day, Tagliabue declared: “There’s no need for a settlement now. We’re going to win.” Now, Tagliabue, more than anyone else, is seeking a settlement. him. A numberof preseason football publications already are spotlighting the record-setting Weber State quarterback. While the low-key All-American takes the attention in stride and prefers to talk about his teammates, the WSU athletic depart- ment will take all the attention Martin can get. Notonly is this a critical year for the senior performer, and for a football team that hopes to maintain the momentum of an 8-4 season, but the school dearly needs to show it can make football a major draw.
