GP)-_Vince Lombardi said Monday that he t^as terminating “a great 10 years" as master of the Green Bay Packers to join the Wash ington Redskins, who offered him the one thing beyond his reach in the Wisconsin city where he made his legend—part ownership in the football team. But for the moment, his an nouncement stood alone. Packer President Dominic Ole- jniczak said a formal announce ment that the 65-year-old Lom bardi had been freed to become executive vice president, general manager and coach of the Red skins would be delayed at least until Tuesday and perhaps a day longer. And at Washington, Redskins President Edward Bennett Wil liams ended a news conference abruptly after announcing he had talked to Lombardi Monday after noon he could not say anything more at this time. Lombardi’s contract with the nonprofit, community - owned Green Bay National Football League club runs to Jan. 31, 1974, and has a clause that unless waived would bar him from coaching any other team during that period. Emerging from a session with the Packer executive board, Lom bardi told newsmen that a “sub stantial position of equity” was the deciding factor in his accept ance of the Redskin post just one year after he decided to give up Major Leagues Move Closer To Strike Aggie Wives Plan Bridge Meetings NEW YORK (A*)—Major league baseball moved closer to the first strike in its 100-year history Monday when the Players Associ ation agreed to boycott spring training sites until their dispute with the owners over their pen sion fund is settled. The action—the most militant stand taken during the four- month-old dispute—comes just 10 days before the Chicago White Sox are scheduled to become the first team to open their training camp, and less than a month be fore the traditional March 1 opening date. At the end of a four-hour meet ing attended by approximately 125 players, including stars such as Bob Gibson, Jim Bunning, Maury Wills, Brooks Robinson, Ernie Banks, Mickey Lolich, Joe Torre and Rusty Staub, the play ers issued a statement that said: “Resolved that the players fully support the actions and policies of their negotiating committee in the current benefit plan negotia tions and reiterate their support of the policy that players should not sign individual salary con tracts and should not report to spring training sites until the negotiations are satisfactorily concluded.” Although the players have been urged before not to sign, this was the first time they had been told not to report to spring training until the impasse was resolved. The Aggie Wives Bridge Club will meet Wednesday nights this semester, beginning tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Memorial Stu dent Center. Three classes of players, regu lars, intermediates, and begin ners, will play. The regulars and intermediates will play for weekly prizes in four 30-minute time ses sions. A beginners class, taught by Mrs. Judith Humphries, will be offered if enough people are in terested. At the end of the semester, prizes will be given to the one who has the highest score and best attendance. The club will hold an invita tional tournament again this semester due to its success last semester, according to Mrs. Bon nie Swausch of the club.

Everything is fine. There’s no problem with the board. I’ve just got a contract. I’m waiting for them—for their move.” But Olejniczak told newsmen shortly after, “This is not an ordinary matter to consider. The Packer executive committee wants to give it full consideration. “After all, there is only one Lombardi.” At Washington, Lombardi re portedly has been offered a 13 per cent share in the Redskins, made available by the estate of C. Leo De Orsey. He would be offered, as well, a challenge in returning to the field, and he took note of it Monday. “The challenge is not in main taining,” he said, “but in creat ing.” His problem to rejuvenate the downtrodden Redskins isn’t much different than the task faced by T1 of b Coni nigb Owners Still Trying To Fill Baseball Commissioner Post on t C< won wit! Aus the MIAMI BEACH, Fla. UP)— Baseball owners will try again to pick a new commissioner Tues day, but the prospects of an elec tion are not considered bright because of the jealousies between the two major leagues. Charles (Chub) Feeney, vice president of the San Francisco Giants, has been the National League choice since the prolonged Dec. 20-21 do-nothing meetings in Chicago. Mike Burke, president of the New York Yankees who withdrew in Chicago after some early bal lots, apparently is back in the running again as an American League candidate. Unless the two leagues can get together on a change in the rules, it is not likely that a successor to William D. Eckert will be named at this time. Eckert re signed under pressure at the an nual baseball meetings in San Francisco in December but is serving until his sucessor is picked. Under the rules, a commis sioner must get a three-fourths vote—nine out of 12—in each league. Although most of the owners who spoke out in San Francisco favored a baseball man for the job, the failure to elect one of their own at his Florida meet ing may well send them search ing for an outside figure of na tional stature. That was what happened last time when they came up with Eckert, a retired Aid Force general. The woods are full of candi dates. Among those who received votes at the December meeting were Feeney, Burke, Lee Mac- Phail, vice president of the Yan kees; Joe Cronin, president of the American League; Judge Robert Cannon of Milwaukee, former counsel for the players; Supreme Court Justice Byron Whizzer White; Bob Reynolds, president of the California Angels; Gabe Paul, president of the Cleveland Indians, and Frank Cashen, ex ecutive vice-president of Balti- the one-time member of Foti ham’s famed “Seven Blocks Granite” when he stepped froj a plane in Green Bay a Januan day in 1959. The Packers’ 1958 team la won just one game. Lombardi, in the dual rolei. 0’ 1 head coach and general manage set about to dispell the imar of a loser.

In dramatic fashion, Feb, 1968, Lombardi announced that: was giving up coaching butw« continue as general manager ! turned the coaching reigns oa to the Packers’ skilled defe® Coach Phil Bengston.
