NFL owners ratify agreement
By United Press International
NEW YORK—The 28 NFL teams last night unanimously ratified the previous day's collective bargaining agreement, which ended the 57-davail players' strike.
The 1,500-member rank-and-file of the NFL Players Association are to vote on the five-year $1.6 billion agreement by secret ballot next Tuesday. A majority decision is needed and ratification is expected.
Chuck Sullivan, president of the New England Patriots and a member of the Management Council's executive committee, said he hoped the settlement would mark a "new era of labor cooperation."
"We hope that the end of this bad story is the beginning of a good story," he said. "It's been a long struggle. We're glad it's come to an end."
Jack Donlan, executive director of the NFL Management Council, said he
expected the union to join the owners in ratifying the act.
"I THINK the 19-6 player rep vote is indicative that the players recognize there is a lot of money out there and they are willing to play ball," Domini
The only snag in the owners' ratification was overcome earlier in the evening when the New York Jets agreed to open camp today. Only the Detroit Lions and Jets failed to work out yesterday in preparation for the resumption of the season Sunday. The Lions voted not to return, but they met with player representative Stan White and heard the terms of the settlement.
A spokesman for the Jets said the club would end the lockout today "based on the fact that representatives from the NFL Management Council are in agreement to execute the document with representatives of the NFL Players Association."
Intrasquad game ends in tie
The Crismon and Blue squares battled to an 80-90 tie in last night's intrasquad (15-3, 11-4).
Head coach Ted Owens took his Kansas squad to Hutchinson last night so his young team could get some experience playing on the road. Owens said that because the Jayhawks play their first four games on the road, they team needed to get the "feel of playing on a foreign court."
Because it was an exhibition game and the Jayhawks faced a long trip home, the game was ended after regulation time.
Once again, Carl Henry led the blue squad, or starters. He scored 22 points to give him a total of 76 in the Jayhawks' three exhibition games. Freshman Kerry Boagni was right behind Henry with 21.
inson, where he played junior college basketball, scored 17 points and had 5 rebounds. Kelly Knight chipped in 10 points and Brian Martin led the Blue squad with 6 rebounds.
For the Crimson squad, freshman Calvin Thompson continued to shine. He scored 26 points, hitting 8 of his last 9 shots in the contest, and tied for the game-high in rebounds with 10. Freshman Kornell added 15 points and Mark Ewink had 14.
Jeff Dishman, returning to Hutch-
Jets president Jim Kensil, a member of the six-member executive council, had cautioned that the strike was not officially over until both sides signed the contract. He said the Management Council was prepared to do so yesterdays. The team's chief executive, NFLPA, was holding off for another day on signing.
Transfer Greg Dreiling, playing his last game in a Kansas uniform this season, scored 12 points and tied Thompson with 10 rebounds.
After the owners' ratification, NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle held a meeting in his office to discuss implications of the shortened season.
The Jayhawks will now turn their preparation to the season opener against U.S. International on Nov. 27 at 2 p.m. at Allen Field House.
THE NEW schedule calls for a nine-game season followed by playoffs involving the 16 teams with the best records, eight from each conference. The playoffs would begin Jan. 9 and lead to the Super Bowl, which will be played Jan. 30 at Pasadena, Calif., as scheduled.
"It's like the fall of France in 1940," said Marvin Powell, player representation.
The owners said the NFLPA negotiated a good contract but added a settlement could have been reached earlier.
Many of the NFL players were not happy with the agreement reached last week.
The union had demanded a contract that met five major criteria: substantial wage increases, an end to wage inequities, significant incentive bonuses, a fair share of future TV revenues and elimination of financial incentives to cut veteran players in favor of lower-paid players.
"The contract touched on all of the five points. It didn't meet any of them," admitted Garvey.

Murphy adds NL MVP to collection of awards
ATLANTA-Dale Murphy, the Atlanta Braves' slugging center fielder, got a big action weapon yesterday in his bid for a long-term contract when he was named the National League's MVP.
Murphy, playing under a one-year, $400,000 contract, hit 281 with 36 home runs and 190 RBI and won a Gold Glove for his fielding in leading the Braves to the Western Division title. He is eligible for free agency after next season but wants to sign a long-term pact with the Braves.
"The last two years we've tried to negotiate a multi-year deal but we
haven't been successful," Murphy said. "I enjoy living in Atlanta and playing for the Braves. I would like to sign a multi-year deal."
The 26-year-old Atlanta outfielder picked up 14 of 24 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers Association of America, easily distancing St. Louis outfielder Lonnie Smith.
Murphy finished with 233 points while Smith, who had eight first-place votes, had 218 points. Los Angeles outfielder Pedro Guerrero was third with 175 points, followed by Montreal first baseman Al Oliver with 174 and St. Louis reliever Bruce Sutter, 134.
Erickson leaps to new volleyball heights
By EVELYN SEDLACEK
Sports Writer
Lori Erickson is an athlete with a very special gift. She has a talent few athletes possess.
Erickson, a junior from Perry, has a 34-inch vertical tump.
"I didn't realize that I could jump that high," said Erickson, a third-year spiker for the KU vouleball team. "That is, no until I came to Kansas."
Erickson came to KU from Perry-Lecompton High School, where she lettered for four years in three sports -- volleyball, basketball and track. She made all-league first team for three consecutive years in volleyball and as captain led her team to an undefeated season and a state championship.
pecially enjoyed both volleyball and basketball."
"MY HIGH school had an excellent women's athletic program," said Erickson, who was named to the All-Big Eight second team. "I es-
Erickson said she seriously considered whether to participate in college volleyball or basketball after graduation from high school.
"After losing my final high school basketball game, I gave myself time to cool down and think realistically about my chances of making a college basketball team," Erickson said. "I thought, 'I'm only 5-9 and not very husky,' so I ruled that sport out of my plans."
Did her college plans include volleyball?
"There were a lot of places I could have gone to play volleyball," Erickson said. "It seemed that everybody, including my coach and my friends, wanted me to go to Kansas State, while my parents wanted me to go to KU."
LENTIC KNON, A Kansas State fan most of her life, decided to look into the Wildcats' volleyball program first. She
received her first chance to demonstrate her athletic capabilities during those tryouts.
"One thing that really upset me about Kansas State's program," Erickson said, "was that they hadn't decided to play." "We were going to be for the following year.
"Here we are at a tryout and last year's coach didn't have a thing to say about the impact we would have on next year's team. That made me mad."
After the trout, Erickson said the K-State coach informed her that if she were not a junior college transfer, she had little or no chances of making the team the next year. She also discovered they were allowed only one trout per school.
"That ruined my chances of playing at Kansas State, unless I made a film of it," he said.
volleyball coach. Lockwood said he saw talent that was "pretty extraordinary"
"SHE CAN LEAP 34 inches during a game," Lockwood said. "There is only one other person I can think of who can jump that high. That is Rita Crockett, a 1980 Olympian, and she could jump 38 inches."
Her freshman and sophomore years,
Erickson recorded a vertical jump of
only 28 inches. This year she increased
her vertical jump at $ \frac{3}{4} $inches.
Then how does she reach 34 inches?
Then how does she reach 34 inches? "Coach Lockwood usually adds two to the insets when he exercises Erickson satown. When an athlete gets caught in the excitement of things, she can jump higher, spike harder, even set more concisely."
One of the biggest goals in Erickson's life was to exceed the 30-inch mark, his achievement.
"Every year I would strive to go beyond that mark," Erickson said. "Then when I did, I was so happy."
