SAN JOSE, Calif. — Ilija Mitic,
the North American Soccer League’s
all-time top scorer, will play out his
option with the San Jose Ear
thquakes and seek a higher bidding
soccer club next year, a team
spokesman says.
John Garb ray, general manager of
the Earthquakes, said Mitic could
not reach a salary agreement with
the team for the 1977 soccer season.
He said Mitic may renegotiate with
the Earthquakes later or seek a
higher-paying soccer team
elsewhere.

r towo’)y| who painted the weights and
ey aboved them out into the sunlight.
Rly, 56, became the National
Football League’s first full-time
strength coach when the Dallas
Cowboys hired him 14 years ago.
Since then, he’s worked with the
teams in San Diego and Kansas City.
When former Kansas City Coach
Hank Stram was chosen to lead the
Saints to respectability, one of the
first men he hired was Roy.
“It’s up here,” said Roy, tapping
his forehead. “We want them think
ing football. You work out inside, it’s
the YMCA or a health spa. Outside,
it’s football.”

He didn’t seem concerned that
the Saints play home games indoors
in the Superdome. “We painted the
weights for the same reason. Coach
Stram wants them thinking about
the teams we play, so he had me
paint the weights the colors of the
NFL jerseys — or as near to them as
we could get.
“Now take Burton, when he
started working with the weights, he
was cleaning (raising the barbell
horn the ground to the shoulders)
155 pounds,” Roy said. “He’s clean
ing 255, now.
“Monday, we’re going to give him
what Coach Stram calls ‘a chance to
demonstrate the caliber of his indi
vidual achievement.’ I call it show
ing his tail off. If anybody’s been
thinking Burton’s lazy, he’ll get a
chance to show them how hard he’s
been working.”
Grooms lay on his back and thrust
upward at a pile oforange weights on
the leg machine. He is built like a

slender waist, biceps that leap and
writhe with every wiggle of a finger.
“Oh, I wish I’d had him earlier.
He wouldn’t be built like that,” said
Roy, explaining that he prefers the
wide “powerful’’ build of Green Bay
Hall of Earner Jimmy Taylor, who
came under Roy’s tutelage at
Louisiana State.
He attributes the success of Dallas
to emphasis on off-season condition
ing — weight training and running.
“Lord, nobody works harder than
the Cowboys,” Roy said. “You look
at their hands, they’re like peasants
from gripping that iron. And they’re
never injured, like the New York
Jets.
“The Jets aren’t in any kind of
condition. They’re led by a quarter
back, but they’re not in condition. A
lot of teams in the NFL aren’t in
condition. A lot of them don’t work at
it.”
In addition to the weight training,
Roy’s routine calls for long-distance
running.
