Reds, Cedeno happy
TAMPA, Fla. (UPI)- Cesar
Cedeno has at least another four, five
years in front of him. But when he’s
all done they’ll remember all the
things he could do-hit, run and field—
and how he never really did them as
Well as everybody said he would and
how he led the league in labels.
They had labeled him the “new”
Willie Mays shortly after he came up
with Houston 12 years ago; and after
Leo Durocher-who had them both—
pretty much killed that idea, some
felt maybe Cedeno could be the
“new” Roberto Clemente.
That isn’t so far-fetched. I asked
Clemente one time which young
ballplayer, if any, ever reminded him
of himself and he said Cedeno.
The Cincinnati Reds aren’t overly
concerned about that.
They got Cedeno from the Astros in
the winter for third baseman Ray
Knight and they’re looking for any
new Willie Mays or new Roberto
Clemente. They’ll be more than hap-
py to settle for the ‘old’ Cesar Cedeno-
-like the one who hit .320 two years in
a row 10 years ago and averaged 75
RBI’s a season.
Cedeno, who is going back to the
outfield full-time this year with the
Reds and will be their regular center
fielder, is just getting over the flu.
But, before it got him down, Cedeno,
with his stratospheric .435 batting
figure, was challenging Kansas City’s
George Brett and Boston’s Jim Rice
for the Grapefruit Circuit hitting title.
“To me, Cesar is a blue-chip
player,” says Reds’ Manager Johnny
McNamara. “He gives us our first
bonafide center fielder since Cesar
Geronimo, and he really showed me
something when he came in early
with the pitchers and catchers this
spring.”
It is not giving away any great
secret to say the Astros felt a sense of
disappointment in the right-handed
hitting 31-year old Cedeno despite the
fact he ranks in the top three in every
major offensive category in their
history. He won five Gold Gloves, was
named to five All-Star teams and had
a .289 lifetime batting average with
them.
The Astros felt he could have done
more and maybe he could not.
The Reds, on the other hand, are
looking at him in a different light.
They’ll take him the way he is. They
gave up a hustling, hard-nosed
ballplayer for him, one they liked, in
Knight, so they must have wanted
him badly.
Netters to play matches
The Lamar men’s and women’s ten-
nis teams will do battle this weekend
in big matches.
The lady netters will take on Rice
University (Houston) today at 2 p.m.
Then on Saturday, they will take on
the University of Texas-San Antonio
at 11 a.m. Both matches will be at
Cardinal Courts.
These will be the final conference
matches of the year for the Lady Car-
dinals and the final home matches for
seniors Cassandra Gallien, Beau-
mont, and No. 1 singles player Ligia
Mattos, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Mattos was ranked third in the state
last year in the singles division.
Rice has two of the best tennis
players themselves with No. 1 singles
player Tracy Blumentrill and No. 2
singles player Susan Rudd.
The lady netters will still be looking
for their first conference win of the
year.
The men will battle Houston Baptist
University in Houston at 1 p.m. Satur-
day and Rice at 1 p.m. at the Cardinal
Courts on Sundav.

No one’s perfect
By CLYDE HUGHES
UP Sports Editor
Did Fred Brown choke?
But more importantly, will he be
haunted by the “phanthom pass”
to James Worthy with five seconds
remaining in the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association
Basketball championship game
for the rest of his life.
It’s tough to be human. Especial-
ly when those human abilities and
talents that are depended on so
much fad in some of the most
crucial of situations.
When people expect more than
what is humanly possible from so-
meone and create doubt in that
person and even cause that person
to doubt himself, problems occur.
For those who are not familiar
with the incident of Monday night
which many felt was the deciding
play of the game, here it is.
North Carolina (Chapel Hill) is
playing Georgetown (Washington,
D.C.) for the national champion-
ship in basketball. Michael Jordan
scores on a 18-foot jumper with
about :14 left in the game.
Georgetown races down court to
set up for the game’s final shot.
Brown was assigned in a previous
timeout to bring the ball down.
UNC’s Worthy moved up court to
guard a Hoya player.
When Worthy moved up, the
Georgetown player broke towards
the middle, and Brown, thinking
he was still there, without looking,
threw the ball into the waiting
hand of Worthy with five seconds
remaining.
To answer the first ques-
tion-yes, Brown blew it and blew
it big. In response to the second
one—no one should have to live
with a mistake.
Mistakes are meant to learn
from. And if punishment is due.
Making the “phantom pass” in
front of 62,000 Superdome atten-
dants—not to mention the 180
million watching it on the tube—is
plenty enough.
“Fred has won games for us,”
John Thompson, Georgetown’s
head coach said after the game of
his 6-foot 5-inch sophomore guard.
“It was just a mistake.”
Of course, it does not take a
classy person like Thompson to
handle these types of situations
and know how those sorts of things
can help a team.
But some do not. Take Dean
Smith, coach for North Carolina,
whom the press practically
ridiculed for not winning a na-
tional championship in 15 NCAA
appearances.
In fact, Smith’s shortcomings
were talked about more in the pre-
game sports stories than
Georgetown’s Pat Ewing or Wor-
thy.
It was almost like a handicap
that the press had created for
Smith—an unjust one at that.
Maybe it is human nature to look
for the faults before the good
things in one’s accomplishments.
No one is perfect.

Only one of these pens
isthinenough
to draw the Uneoelow.
It's the extra-fine rolling ball of Pilot's remarkable new Precise
Ball Liner Pen. (If you haven't guessed which one it is. look at
the top photo again. It's the trim beauty on the bottom left.)
But unlike the others, the r,eal beauty of Pilot's Precise Ball
Liner is the extra-fine line it puts on paper. It glides smoothly
across the page because its tiny tungsten carbide ball is held
securely within a needle-like stainless steel collar.
A collar that makes the Precise Ball Liner the most durable,
trouble-free rolling ball pen you can buy. , ||
It's letter-writer'sjoy. An artist's dream.
A scribbler’s delight. ^
One more fine point: the Pilot .
