Before taking over as manager he was the understudy of the grand old man Walt Alston. During his amazing manager-- . ial career Alston never had a contract longer than one year. Don Shula (Miami), Bud Grant Minnesota) and Tom Landry (Dallas) have been with their respective teams for at least 10 or more seasons. Landry Ix'iug the only coach the Cowboys have ever had. Even during their bad years their team owners had enough ' confidence in them to stick by their n After the game, for some reasori Laker so-call- ed sensation Marvin Magic Johnson asked to be released from his 25 million dollar con-- . tract so that he could be traded.

Ray went the extra mile, completed the alignment as only a caring experienced mechanic could, gave it a road test, and the result was the smoothest ride I've ever had sine buying the car new.
