SPORTS The News Herald, Port Clinton, Friday, October 27, 1989 B-3 NFL Tagliabue Continued From B-1 marily on the tennis court against Finks, among others. In fact, he never knew he was the seventh-leading rebounder in Georgetown history until he went to a game a few years ago with his son, Drew, who thumbed through the program, then turned to his father and asked: "Hey dad, did you know your name's in here?" He also has a sense of humor, one that emerged after he met with the owners at a meeting in Grapevine, Texas, where they were trying to resolve the deadlock over who should be the new commissioner. "I didn't promise them 'a chicken in every he said later. "Read my lips, 'No Free Read my lips 'more television I'm not George Bush running for an office." But, most often, he is cautious, sports didn't. After college, he attended New York University Law School, where his roommate was Lamar Alexander, a future governor of Tennessee and he served as editor of the law review.

After graduation in 1965, he returned to Washington to serve as a clerk to Judge Oscar K. Davis in the U.S. Claims Court, then joined the Defense Department's internal security division. In 1969, he joined Covington Burling, one of the capital's "power" firms and almost immediately gravitated to the NFL account. After becoming a partner, he took over, management of the league's Washington affairs.

It turned out to be a stepping stone to his election by bringing him into contact with just about all of the NFL's 28 owners. "It's a very political position," Gary Roberts, a Tulane University law professor who worked with Tagliabue at the firm, said of Tagliabue's job. "The NFL is a difficult client because every owner wants to see the top dog on every little problem." lawyerly. "He's very controlled, very logical," said Michael Chernoff, general counsel for the Indianapolis Colts. "But he's not just a pin-striped suit.

I've seen him in docksiders with no socks." Still, Tagliabue is hardly a pre-ppie. He grew up in Jersey City, N.J., and attended St. Michael's High School in blue collar Union City, where his basketball prowess earned him a scholarship to Georgetown, a school he otherwise could not have afforded to attend. He averaged nine rebounds a game from 1960 to 1962, just two-tenths less than Ewing averaged 20 years later. "We weren't as bad as everyone remembers," Tagliabue once said of those days in the pre-John Thompson era.

"We would have gone to the NIT my senior year if we hadn't had a couple of guys hurt and lost our last few games." But basketball went out of Tagliabue's life quickly although What's ahead for Tagliabue Gannett News Service CLEVELAND Pete Rozelle's successor as National Football League commissioner, Paul Tagliabue, faces a number of immediate challenges in replacing the veteran of 30 seasons. Among them: A labor problem with, antitrust ramifications: The NFL and Its players have been without a collective bargaining agreement since the 1987 season began. The NFL Players Association's antitrust suit, challenging the NFL's right to restrict player movement from team to team, won't begin until January at the earliest. Rozelle never had the authority from owners to step in and bargain with the union. The new commissioner may want more input and a rein on the owners' Management Council, which handles bargaining.

Negotiating new TV contracts: The NFL is in the last year of billion, three-year pact with the three over-the-air networks and ESPN. Each team receives about $17 million in TV money for 1989. The new commissioner must make the new deal, with owners privately expressing hopes for about $22 million a team. The biggest arguments may be over how much further into cable the NFL can move. ESPN has the rights to eight regular-season games and the Pro Bowl.

The divided ownership: Even Rozelle, the master arm-twister, says has become extremely difficult to reach a consensus among the 28 NFL team owners. The battle over who to select a new commissioner and how to select him created a chasm between long-time-own- ers and newer members of this select lodge. Since 21 votes are required to approve most measures (though 19 are needed to confirm a commissioner), a voting bloc as small as eight can stymie the NFL. Expansion: Rozelle has said he'd consider expansion once' the labor problems have been settled, but some owners are agitating for an earlier move. The next commissioner will be lobbied heavily by a number of cities seeking NFL franchises.

Congress also has expressed an interest in seeing the league provide more teams. Drugs: The NFL and the union rarely agree on how best to fight drug abuse, including steroids. The NFL had one drug plan that included random testing invalidated by the court, though it unilaterally imposed penalties for steroid use. A new commissioner will face the old problem: how to work with the players on keeping the game clean. Mid-American Conference World Series resumes tonight that's 7-15-2 in the MAC and 0-13 in non-conference games.

Against the MAC schools outside the state, they are 2-10. And the once-proud programs at Miami and Kent have yet to win a game. This week Eastern Michigan (6-1-1 overall and 5-0) travels to Central Michigan (34 and 3-1), Toledo (34 and 3-2) visits Kent State (0-8 and 0-5), Ohio U. (1-6-1 and 1-3-1) is at Western Michigan (34 and 1-3) and Bowling Green (34 and 3-2) is at Miami of Ohio (0-6-1 and 0-3-1). Youngstown State, with fewer scholarships and other restrictions because of its I-AA status, handled Central 30-3 last week, administering the Chips their worst home loss in 19 years.

In 1988, the Ohio teams filled the bottom five spots in the league standings. JbCy ft Mfi i CLASSIFIEDS Continued From B-1 Finks, Tagliabue and two others. An impasse set in, with the insurgents backing Tagliabue, one of Rozelle's closest advisers over the past decade. In fact, the impasse often seemed to be more over the differences between the two sides than over the two final candidates. "My congratulations go to Paul, he should make an outstanding commissioner and should serve the NFL for years to come," said the 62-year-old Finks, who on Tuesday turned down an offer to become "president for football operations" under Tagliabue.

Tagliabue said there might not be such a position, although he mentioned the name of ex-Green Bay Packer star Willie Davis, another finalist for the commissioner's job, as a possibility to work under him- NFL Leaders 1920: Jim Thorpe, president 1921-39: Joe Carr, president 1939-41: Carl Storck, president 1941-48: Elmer Layden, commissioner 1946-59: Bert Bell, commissioner 1960-89: Pete Rozelle, commissioner 1989: Paul Tagliabue, commissioner NFL treasurer Austin Gunsel served as president in the office of the commissioner following the death of Bert Bell (Oct. 11, 1969) untU the election of Pete Rozelle (Jan. 26, 1960). phelt, the Giants compliment the fans for the "remarkable composure and restraint" they showed on Oct. 17.

MAC teams are 3-19-2 in non-conference games this year. Granted, the opponents have included West Virginia, Indiana, Michigan State, North Carolina State and LSU all on the road.

But MAC members have suffered losses to Division I-AA teams such as Youngstown State (by preseason MAC favorite Central Michigan) and to Liberty (by previously unbeaten conference-leader Eastern Michigan). The conference, however, does not shy away from ranked teams and bigger schools more often than not playing on foreign territory. But the five Ohio colleges have a combined record of 7-28-2 Oilers trying to trade Carson Gannett News Service DETROIT Edmonton Oilers General Manager and President Glen Sather attended Thursday night's Detroit-Pittsburgh game, prompting speculation of a trade that would bring All-Star center Jimmy Carson to the Red Wings. The Wings reportedly have made an offer for the two-time 50-goal scorer. "I had a day in the schedule, so I decided to come here," Sather said, between the first and second periods.

"But it's no secret I havea player to trade." Sather was in New York with the Oilers Wednesday and plans on going to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Friday to see Edmonton's AHL team. Carson, who returned to his parents' home in Grosse Pointe Woods, on Tuesday, left the Oilers Oct. 14, citing poor play as the reason. CAR WAX $3495' CO.

To counter the argument that the MAC still has some great players if not teams, consider that only Eastern Michigan's Bob Navarro who the nation in interceptions ranks in the top five in any major-college statistical category. No one ranks in the top 20 in rushing or passing. Finally, the MAC champion has lost five of the last six Cali- fornia Bowls. This week, only one of the conference games has any bearing on the conference race: Eastern at Central. Central is second in rushing in the MAC with 171 yards a game while Eastern is first in rushing defense.

Candlestick prepared for Game 3 action Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Candlestick Park will fall silent at 5:04 p.m. PDT. Disaster officials, not Willie Mays, will throw out the first ball.

The ushers will carry flashlights. It won't be business as usual when the World Series resumes tonight. As for those cracks in the concrete walkways and. chips in the pillars, the Giants say not to worry. They are simply signs of aging in a 27-year-old ballpark that may be much-maligned but, officials assure, is about as safe aa aiiy uuici piatc uic ucai ui an active fault zone.

Still, on the eve of long-delayed Game 3, a media tour of the damaged sections and briefing on public safety precautions held more interest than the team's workout. The official whose words were most scrutinized was hot Roger Craig, the Giants manager, but Jerry Anderson, the architectural consultant for Candlestick. Reporters trailed Anderson around the upper-deck sections of the stadium. Perhaps surprisingly to those who experienced the 10- to 15-second jolt nine days earlier, evidence of the quake is hard to detect. "It held up as it was designed to hold up," Anderson said.

"Our repairs out here have been minimal." Concrete steps that cracked and broke up in the upper deck in two outfield seating sections have been replaced. New concrete now enforces three concrete A-frame columns damaged in the outer walkway outside the upper grandstand sections in the outfield. But Anderson downplayed the damage and estimated total repairs at less than $200,000. "It certainly showed last Tuesday that it's a good place to be in an earthquake of 7.1 on the Rich-ter scale," he said. In addition to the flashlights issued to ushers and security guards, there will be plenty of reminders of the disaster.
