Great Bend coach harassed after losses
The Associated Press
GREAT BEND — After winning its first two games this season, the Great Bend High School football team is struggling along with a 34 record. The family have been subjected to renewed harassment.
Hall, who was 2-7 last year in his first season at Great Bend, said that the harassment started even before the 1987 season began, with obscene phone calls, vandalism to his home and various threats.
When the team won two games at the start of the season, the harassment stopped, only to resume when the Panthers lost for the first time. Since then, the team has not been harassed by we received a harassing call at least once a week.
Hall said Monday that after his 5-year-old daughter, Amy, came home from kindergarten, she went to feed her and her younger sister's bed. She told the news that she were dead, and Hall said that it appeared that the
animals had i teen drowned and placed back inside the hutch.
Police Capt. Bob Robinson said, "There are some doubts as to how the rabbits died. These are domesticated rabbits and we had that cold spell over the weekend. They could have died from exposure, but we did not find any water in the hutch."
Hall said the season had been tough enough for him and his players without other interference.
Robinson said police did not have many leads in the case, but that the person involved may just be involved.
"The thing that has kept me going has been the support given to me by the players and their parents," he said. "They've been the main people who have kept me motivated. It isn't a lot of fun."
Hall said that Athletic Director Dave Boles has also been extremely supportive of Hall's efforts to
give the community a solid football program.
The coach said that the second round of trouble started the day before the game against Garden City. Hall said that it appeared that a person had been following his wife for most of the day. When he returned to working in Hall after practice, someone called her and mentioned several things she had done that day.
Both he and his wife have received harassing phone calls at work, Hall said.
Hall, who came to Great Bend after four seasons at Wichita Bishop Carroll, said that he has been the most successful coach in the
"If we can get the kind of support necessary from the central office, I'll stay," he said. "I've had a lot of pressure put on me to establish a winning football program here. I have had a lot of people complain and critique what we've done. I don't see a lot of people in the community trying to be positive."
NFL owners set to resume talks with players union
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — NFL officials said yesterday that they hope to resume bargaining with the players union soon, but with a revised offer on one of the main issues because the players' pension fund lost $39 million due to the stock market problems of the past two weeks.
Jack Donlan, executive director of the NFL Management Council, said he expected to speak next week with union head Gene Upshaw to try to resume negotiations. Earlier, Commissioner Pete Rozelle had said he hoped negotiations could be concluded by next March so the league could go ahead with its expansion plans.
The owners also voted to play the rest of the season with 50-man rosters — 45 players active each Sunday and
In the first week after the strike.
teams were allowed to keep up to 85
players, but that figure will drop to 55
next week. The 50-master roster will
take effect next Tuesday.
But the main topic of the discussion was the 24-day strike that ended Oct. 15 and its after-effects, including the antitrust suit filed by the union against the owners when it ordered the players back to work. Among others, the free agency the players were unable to get at the bargaining table.
During the strike, it was the players who constantly sought negotiations, but this time it was the owners.
"I think it's in the interest of both sides to negotiate." Rozelle said. Once things cool down, and the weather gets warmer, may be easier to get done things."
However, the union said it wasn't interested in resuming talks unless the owners changed their position on
major issues. And any talks may be complicated by the effect of the stock market on the pension fund, a major area of contention.
Donlan disclosed that "the last time I checked," what had once been a $40 million surplus in the pension fund had been reduced to $1 million by losses from the fund's stock market investments.
The owners have been offering to add $37 million to the fund, but $18 million of that is money the owners own. The owners are in contention in a separate lawsuit.
"I don't know how much we're going to be restricted now by what happened." Donlan said.
"Now they've got problems with the stock market thing." Rozelle said, and she would play around with in the surplus. But they don't have that anymore."
The two sides last bargained formally on Oct. 11, the 20th day of the strike, with agreement reached on just eight of 38 contract issues. Additional ones, like management's demand for a six-year contract, also cropped up during the walkout.
Rozelle, whose only role during the strike was to try to bring the two sides together, suggested that without a labor contract it might be difficult to go ahead with expansion by 1899.
Doug Allen, the assistant executive director of the NFL Players Association, said the union had no interest in resuming bargaining without substantive changes in the management position.
"Things stand just where they stood when they walked away from the table." Allen said by telephone from Miami, where he and other NFLA officials were attending the AFL-CIO convention.
Expos' skipper voted NL's best of year
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Bob "Buck" Rodgers, who guided the Montreal Expos to a surprising third-place finish in the National League East this season, has been named NL Manager of the Year, the Baseball Writers Association of America announced yesterday.
Rodgers, the only manager named on all ballots, collected 13 first-place votes, eight for second and three for third. Points were awarded on a 5-4-1
year award given Rodgers in recent weeks.
Rodgers, in his third season as manager of the Expos, received 92 points from a 24-man committee of the BBWAA, beating San Francisco's Roger Craig, the runner-up with 65 points.
It was the fourth manager-of-the-
"It's been very satisfying," Rodgers said, "especially the one from 'The Sporting News' because that's the one your peers vote on."
Rodgers, contacted at his home in California, said the "writers" (award is important, too, because we in Indiana beside calize we had a good year."

Before the 1987 season, Montreal lost outfield Andre Dawson to the Chicago Cubs via free agency and traded relief ace Jeff Reardon to the Minnesota Twins. In addition, outfielder Tim Raines, a free agent, did not re-sign with the team until the season
was about a month old.
But Rodgers kept the Expos in contention until the final days of the season. Montreal compiled a 91-71
record and finished only four games behind the Cardinals and one game in back of the second-place Mets.
