SPORT
SCENE
PHILADELPHIA - It’s
learned the Amateur Athletic
Union plans to file suit in
Philadelphia Federal Court
against the National College
Athletic Association. The issue
will be the control of collegiate
athletes. Reliable sources say
the long-time quarrel between
the 2 units came to a head over
the NCAA’s attempt to
discourage college track men
from participating in the U.S.-
Russian Junior Track Meet.
The court action reportedly
will be announced at a news
conference today in
Philadelphia’s City Hall. The
sources say the AAU will accuse
the NCAA of tampering with the
civil rights of the Collegians as
they cross state lines to par-
ticipate in non-collegiate meets.
NEW YORK — A published
report indicates National
Hockey League players are
starting to benefit from the'
presence of a competing league.
The story says two stars on the
New York Rangers-- defen-
seman Brad Park and center
Walt Tcaczuk- have been
signed to big multi-year con-
tracts. The report says Park
will get a $200,000 a year for five
years and Tcaczuk $150,000 per
year.
