NFL having trouble with new leagut "
By BRUCE LOWITT
AP Sports Writer
Solidarity and tradition.
They’re two selling points Na
tional Football League clubs are
using to sign players before the
competition spirits them away.
But the NFL isn’t forgetting the
bottom line . . . money.
“Yeah, we’re cleaning up our
draftee signings more quickly
than we did a year ago, and I’d
have to say the World Football
League has contributed to that
since, perhaps, we’ve stayed at it
a bit more tenaciously,” acknowl
edged Harry Hulmes, vice presi
dent of the New Orleans Saints.
His comment seemed to reflect
a majority opinion among NFL
club executives, that the emer
gence of the WFL as a “legiti
mate” league has caused the NFL
to shift into higher gear in the
struggle to sign players, both
veterans and rookies.
Most NFL team officials re
main mum when asked what they
think of the surge of WFL-bound
stars—but they’ll admit they’re
opening their wallets a lot wider
to prevent rookies from making
it a stampede.
“It’s cost us about twice as
much to sign the rookies in the
first through the fifth draft cate
gories,” Philadelphia Eagles’ per
sonnel director Herman Bali said.
Brat sen leads Ags,
sets new record
By TONY GALLUCCI
Staff Sports Writer
Jim Bratsen knocked in eight
runs and Tommy Hawthorne
powered in five more but the
Aggie baseball team could do no
more than split a doubleheader
with Cornell Wednesday.
The Ags blasted 13 hits in
romping to a 14-2 win in the
first game, but Cornell retaliated
with 13 hits of their own on the
way to a 14-9 win in the second.
John Alvin Woods started the
Ags off in the first inning with
a double.
Woods quickly became a school
record RBI as Bratsen powered a
425-foot home run into the gape
of Kyle Field.
The shot hit the upper deck
of the football stands and fell
harmlessly out of reach of Cor
nell’s nearest glove.
With the run knocked in, Brat
sen surpassed the mark set ear
lier this year by injured second-
baseman Mike Schraeder. By the
time the day was over, Bratsen
had added seven more to bring
the present record to 37.
Bratsen doubled in the third
and singled in the fifth to total
three hits in three trips to the
plate.
A1 Thurmond went two for
three in the first game with two
singles.
Besides his first inning double,
Woods hit to left field for three
bases in the fifth.
Clint Thomas picked up the
win for the Ags.
The win boosted the Aggie rec
ord to 27-7 for the season.
Several players in the double-
header were newcomers in the
lineup as injuries and illness forc
ed changes and replacements.
David Buxkamper remained at
shortstop for injured Fred Russ.
Jim Hacker replaced Sandy Bate,
a replacement himself, who is ill.
Squadman Steve Dedman re
placed Hacker at third and A1
Thurmond took over for Paul
Miller in left field.
Tommy Hawthorne and Mike
Frazier traded off at catcher and
designated hitter for the two
games.
A&M lost the second game in
the third inning as three differ
ent Aggie pitchers gave up eight
hits and 11 runs.
Freshman Jeff Scheumack
started the pitching chores for the
Ags with a fine performance.
Scheumack got in a jam in the
third inning and Bubba Riehs
came in but could not help out.
Jim Wallace then tried his luck,
giving up only one more hit be
fore finishing the inning.
Bratsen hit another home run
for the Ags in the third inning

and was three for four in the
second game.
Designated hitter Hawthorne
went two for three with a triple
in the second game and had five
RBI’s for the day.
Scheumack absorbed the loss
for A&M.
The Aggies hit the road today
for Lubbock and a crucial three
game series with Texas Tech.
Money, of course, is the pri
mary pitch. But most teams are
waving more than just check
books. They’re selling themselves
and the rest of the league to
young players looking not only
for cash but for security.
“We believe the Engles are in
a good position,” said Ball, “be
cause we’re on the doorstep of
accomplishing something here.
Our people want to be a part of
this. I believe we have an edge
over the WFL in that respect.”
There seems to be a slight differ
ence of opinion on the Kansas
City Chiefs. “We’re not going to
get into a bidding war with any
one,” says Lamar Htint, the owner
of the team and a principal
founder of the American Foot
ball League, which got into an
astronomical money war with the
NFL in the 1960s.
But Hank Stram, the only coach
the Chiefs have ever known,
pointed out: “You have to recog
nize the WFL . . . The AFL was
there once.”
A New York Jets’ spokesman
estimated that “we’ve had to go
quite a bit higher this year than
last, right at the outset” in bar
gaining for the prize rookies’
services. “I’d guess that for the
top two or three draft choices,
we’ve had to start off by offer
ing maybe 50 per cent more than
we did a year ago.”
And Weeb Ewbank, the Jets’
general manager who relin
quished the coaching reins to
son-in-law Charlie Winner after
last season, said: “We’re going
after our draft choices with a
great deal more intensity to get
them signed.
“We’re doing pretty much the
same thing the National Basket
ball Association is still doing in
its annual signing war with the
younger American Basketball As
sociation. We’re telling them
they’re getting the opportm
play in the NFL, to playi|
the best.
“But let’s face it, most oil
time it still comes do*t||
money.”
