'ysofltltell you this is the Year of the
xtsarejner — but the first choice in

“I think we ll go for him,” said Ron
Wolfe, Tampa Bay’s vice president
of operations. “I’ve felt pretty much
that way all along and I haven’t seen
anything to change my mind.”
Selmon, winner of the Outland
Trophy as college football’s outstand
ing lineman, said the Buccaneers
had been in touch with him.
“They’ve told me there’s a lot of
interest in me,” the 6-foot-2, 256-
pound lineman said.
Playing for a brand new team
won’t bother Selmon. “It’s all right.
It’s a chance to play in the NFL.
With an expansion team, you have a
chance to grow with it. It might be
neat.”
It could be even neater for the
family if Leroy’s brother, All-
American nose guard Dewey Sel
mon, winds up drafted by Tampa,
too.
“I hope to go in the first two
rounds,” said Dewey.
Tampa’s expansion partners, the
Seattle Seahawks, will draft second
and are expected to select running
o season opens with
Astros facing champ Reds
back Chuck Muncie of California.
Seahawks’ Coach Jack Patera be
lieves football games are won on de
fense, but that won’t prevent the
Seahawks from going for an offensive
player like Muncie with the first of
their 25 draft choices.
“If the 25 best players available
are offensive guards,” said Patera,
“then we ll take 25 offensive guards
and sort them out later.”
Muncie heads the rushing class
that includes Ohio State’s Archie
Griffin, a two-time Heisman Trophy
winner and college football’s first
5,000-yard man, Joe Washington of
Oklahoma, Tony Galbreath of Mis
souri and Lawrence Gaines of
Wyoming.
Besides the Selmons, linemen
who figure to go early include
Charles Philyaw of Texas Southern,
Arizona’s Mike Dawson and Ken
Novak of Purdue.
The top tight ends include Bennie
Cunningham of Clemson and Mike
Barber of Louisiana Tech with Larry
Dorsey of Tennessee State and Bill
Brooks of Oklahoma among the best
wide receivers.
The quarterback class seems slim
with the best of the crop Craig Pen
rose of San Diego State, Gene Swick
of Toledo, Scott Gardner of Virginia
and Richard Todd of Alabama.
The New England Patriots own
the most first-round selections with
three, two of them acquired from
San Francisco in the Jim Plunkett
trade this week. Five teams, Hous
ton, San Francisco, Philadelphia,
Washington and Oakland, will sit out
the first round, having swapped
their choices away earlier.

In the American League opener,
Milwaukee expects a crowd of

the New York Yankees. Jim Slaton
goes for Milwaukee against Catfish
Hunter, ace of the Yankee staff.
There are eight games scheduled
for Friday, four in each league.
In the National League, Montreal
sends Steve Rogers against Tom
Seaver of the New York Mets. Sea-
ver staged a bitter spring-long hold
out that ended earlier this week. But

Wednesday night ended a bidding
war for the one-time Dolphin’s star
and returned to the NFL the biggest
name the WFL ever had.
The terms of Csonka’s contract
with the Giants were not im
mediately known, but it was known
that he — or his agent, Ed Keating
—- had been demanding a multiyear
contract worth in the neighborhood
of $250,000 a year plus a variety of
cash bonuses and fringe benefits.
In his seven years with Miami,
Csonka rushed 1,286 times for 5,900
yards — a 4.6-yard average — and
scored 44 touchdowns, all but three
of them on the ground.
He rushed for 1,000 yards or more
three straight years ending in 1973.
In his best season, 1972, he had
1,117 yards. In his NFL career, he
rushed for 100 yards or more in 15
games. In 1974, his last year with
Miami and one in which he was in
jured part of the time, he rushed 197
times for 749 yards and nine
touchdowns.
King Carl XVI
makes 3 day tour
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — King Carl
XVI Gustaf of Sweden concludes a
three-day tour of the Philadelphia
area today before leaving for Min
neapolis.
The 29-year-old king, the first
Swedish monarch to visit this coun
try, trooped through Philadelphia’s
18th century historical sites and ran
his finger over the crack in the Lib
erty Bell on Wednesday.
During his holdout, Seaver had
been rumored headed for Los
Angeles in a trade. The man the
Dodgers were offering was repor
tedly Don Sutton — their opening-
day pitcher in San Francisco against
{ ohn Montefusco. But that game has
>een threatened by a strike of city
workers that has picket lines set up
in fr ont of Candlestick Park.
Atlanta’s Phil Niekro goes at San
Diego with Randy Jones starting for
the Padres, and the Chicago Cubs
will use Ray Burris at St. Louis
against Lynn McGlothen.
The final NL opener is scheduled
for Saturday with Pittsburgh using
Jerry Reuss against Philadelphia’s
Steve Carlton.
In Friday’s top American League
opener, Boston goes with Ferguson
Jenkins against Baltimore’s Jim
Palmer.
The Orioles hope to have con
vinced slugger Reggie Jackson to
play for them in time for that game.
Jackson was acquired in a blockbus
ter trade with Oakland last week but
has balked at joining Baltimore.
In other AL games Friday, Kansas
City will use Paul Splittorff to face
the Chicago White Sox’ Wilbur
Wood. Minnesota starts with Bert
Blyleven against Texas’ Gaylord
Perry, and Oakland will start Mike
Torrez against California’s Frank
Tanana. Torrez went to the A s in the
Jackson trade. The final American
League opener has Detroit sending
Joe Coleman against Cleveland’s
Dennis Eckersley on Saturday.
Meanwhile, baseball continues to
wrestle with franchise problems as
the American and National leagues
duel over Toronto. The players are
without a basic agreement.
