You’ll like us even better - if we ever need to write you one/’ past debts and a hint that Joe Namath might be around. Things can only get better for this league, which is expected to an nounce that between 8 and 11 teams will make another run at respecta bility and profitability — two factors it has thus far lacked. League officials have huddled in day-long meetings for three days, and a source who sat in on the ses sions said that by Tuesday afternoon no one was sure just how many teams would compose the WFL, Part XL These teams are set: Hawaii, Southern California, Shreveport, La., Philadelphia and Memphis. Teams considered nearly ready to play are San Antonio, Birmingham and Chicago. Possibilities include Charlotte, N.C., and Portland, Ore. Whatever the WFL announces Wednesday, it will do it with an all- star lineup including Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick, Paul Warfield and Calvin Hill, all of whom plan to play in the league next season. At the same time, a league source was being careful to spread the word that the WFL had offered some thing like $2 million to Joe Namath to bring his right arm, battered knees and immense ticket-selling ability to the organization which vows it has changed its ways. There was no comment from Namath concerning the leaks, all of which surely cannot harm his bar gaining position with the New York Jets. The league would love to have Namath play for it in Chicago, where the WFL is trying to build a flagship franchise to attract televi sion money and compete against a National Football League franchise which has not made a habit of win ning lately. League President Chris Hemme- ter, who has almost singlehandedly rescued the WFL from what seemed a certain death, has out lined a reorganization plan under which most league players will get less salary than last year. But since many of them weren’t paid most of last year, a guaranteed check in 1975 might be considerably better. Under Hemmeter’s plan, those not in the Namath-Csonka-Hill class will get a percentage — usually one per cent — of their team’s gross re venue, with a $10,000 salary guaranteed if the club fails to take in $1 million. The teams will be required to place all operating funds in es crowed bank accounts to assure that salaries and other bills are paid. Meanwhile, Hemmeter is outlin ing the league’s plans to repay all its past debts, which currently stand at about $5 million. In the cases of players who were not paid, the league is offering to give them between 15 and 25 per cent of the outstanding balance now, and to pay the remainder over a five-year period, with 6 per cent interest. If the players decline that offer, Hemmeter says the league will make an offer of a cash settle ment. The league plans to play a 20-game schedule in 1975, but this year plans to play on weekends in stead of weekdays, beginning the first weekend in August. SMU net Rangers nip coach signs Chisox, 6-5 four players in long titl CHICAGO (AP) — Dave Nelson singled, stole second and raced home on single by Joe Lovitto in the 13th inning Tuesday to give the Texas Rangers a 6-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Lovitto s game-winning hit came off reliever Rich Gossage, who en tered the game in the seventh. Jim Merritt, the fifth Texas pitcher, was the winner. The Rangers tied it 5-5 in the eighth when Jim Spencer led off with a double, took third on Toby Harrah’s single and scored on a ground out by Mike Hargrove. Singles by rookie Nyls Nyman and Bucky Dent capped a four-run, seventh inning that put Chicago on top 5-4. DALLAS (AP) — Southern Methodist University tennis coach John Gardner Tuesday announced the signing of four players and called the group potential national champ ions in a few years. The four players signed are Mark Turpin of Dallas, Chris Delaney of Potomac, Md., Mark Vines of Richmond, Va., and Pern Guerry of Lookout Mountain, Tenn. “This is the best recruiting year in SMU history,’’ he said. “We could have a potential national champion team if they progress as antici pated. ” Turpin won the 1974 Sugar Bowl championship and two state titles. Vines is the No. 1 ranked age group player in Virginia and Guerry is No. 1 in Tennessee. Guerry is the brother of Zan Guerry, a four-time All-America at Rice.
