Baseball report:
‘no progress’
By ED McFALL
PHILADELPHIA (UPI) -
The principals in the major
league baseball dispute have
held another negotiating ses
sion, but neither side has yet to

But from their improvised
clubhouses—Miller at a restatu
rant and the owners at a room
in a hotel near the Philadelphia
International Airport — both
sides took turns hitting fungos
at the other.
Miller called the meeting a
“rehash” of the owners’ posi
tion.
He said, “We got some
reaction, most of the questions
were to clarify.”
When asked what the reac
tions were, Miller replied,
“that’s my definition of ‘no
progress.’”
Miller said the owners, who
announced earlier this week
that spring training would not
open as scheduled March 1
unless an agreement was
reached on a new contract,
“say the dispute lies in the
reserve clause.”
“Well, if that is so,” Miller
said while munching on his
salad, “why don’t we do as we
did in 1970 and agree on
everything else and sign a
contract,” leaving the clause
issue to be worked out.
“What we have proposed is a
four-year, no-strike (contract)
which they have rejected,”
Miller said.
Gaherin said, “Our position is
that the association as a
collective bargaining unit has
the responsibility to bargain for
the inclusion in respect to all
issues involved.”
An agreement “can structure
a reserve system that applies
to all in the field,” Gaherin
said.
“Even though a dissident
may react negatively and
attempt to sue, as is his right,”
he went on, “an agreement
reached through collective bar
gaining would take preceden
ce.”
Feeney said the meeting, held
here because Miller was in the
city to brief major leaguers in
the area on the situation,
“clarified the dispute” and
“there were no new proposals.”
The talks resume in New
York on Friday.

Title in ’Barna’s reach
ATLANTA (UPI) - Alaba
ma’s first clear-cut Southeast
ern Conference basketball
championship in 20 years is
within reach, but the Tide is
going to have to strain.
The major obstacle, of
course, confronts Leon Douglas
and company Saturday in
Tuscaloosa, Ala. That’s when
the lOth-ranked Tide takes on
12th-ranked Tennessee in a
“must” game for both teams.
Tennessee won the first
encounter at Knoxville 80-74 in
late January but Alabama is
atop the SEC with a 12-2
record, a half-game ahead of
the Vols, who are 12-3. A Tide
win would just about be fatal to
the Vols since Alabama would
have to lose two of its
remaining three games to force
a title deadlock.
However, the possibility of
two Alabama losses down the
home stretch is not that
remote. The Tide meets erratic
Georgia in Tusaloosa but then

must travel to Lexington to
meet Kentucky, which is
always tough at home, and then
to Nashville to take on
Vanderbilt, a team with title
aspirations of its own.
A Tennessee victory in the
regionally-televised showdown
Saturday would put the Vols in
the driver’s seat since they
take on Bth-place Mississippi
State on the road and Georgia
at home.
In the event of a tie between
Alabama and Tennessee in the
final SEC standings, the Vols
would get the first NCAA
playoff bid (a berth in the
Mideast Regionals) since they
would have beaten Alabama
twice during the season.
The Tide is all too familiar
with that situation. For the past
two years, Alabama has tied
for the SEC championship but
has seen the NCAA prize go to
the other team because of
regular-season losses. Kentucky
beat the Tide twice last year
and went to the Mideast
Regionals en route to the NCAA
finals. Vanderbilt dealt the Tide
double losses in 1974 and got
the NCAA bid.
Alabama did get into the
NCAA playoffs last year when
the NCAA decided to give
additional bids to conference
runnersup.
The Tide’s last clear-cut SEC
title was in 1956 when it went
14-0, one of the few times the
stranglehold of Adolph Rupp’s
Kentucky hordes was broken.
Vanderbilt still has to be
considered a threat for the SEC
title since it is 11-3 in third
place and meets three confer
ence tailenders before its final
bout with Alabama. The Tide
won the first meeting in
Tuscaloosa 83-66 in early
January.
The Commodores are at next
to-last-place Louisiana State
Saturday while other SEC
games have Florida at Auburn,
Georgia at Mississippi State
and Kentucky at winless
Mississippi.
In independent play, Florida
State hosts Mercer, Georgia
Tech entertains Charleston
Baptist, South Carolina is at
home to Georgia Southern and
Jacksonville hosts Marshall.
There has been no action in
the Southeast since Wednesday
night when South Carolina beat
St. Bonaventure 77-67 with Alex
English’s 19 points making him
the Gamecocks’ all-time career
scoring leader with 1,925 points.
