Women reporters allowed in locker room
United Press International
NEW YORK — A federal
judge ruled Monday that women
sportswriters have a constitu
tional right to enter the locker
room of the New York Yankees
after a game to conduct inter
views.
The decision by U.S. District
Judge Constance Baker Motley
struck down the effort by
Baseball Commissioner Bowie
Kuhn and the Yankee manage
ment to maintain the clubhouse
locker room as an all-male pre
serve.
Judge Motley ruled that the
Policy of total exclusion of
women from the Yankee locker
room does not violate the
players rights to privacy, but
loes deprive women sports writ
ers of their rights to equal pro
tection of the laws.
The ruling was made on the
complaint filed last December by
Melissa Ludtke, a baseball re
porter for Sports Illustrated, who
said she was barred solely on the
asis of sex from entering the
m clubhouse after the
World Series last year.
The ruling said that women
eporters who have access to
lloeker rooms in other sports
have found that a substantial
portion of their material comes
aom the locker room and thus
that access to the locker room is
to sen m important part of their job.”

Campbell
ball more
should
Oilers
United Press International
HOUSTON — It appears to be
this simple: the Houston Oilers win
if Earl Campbell carries the football
20 times or more.
The evidence can be found in the
small print in Monday’s newspap-
ers. The statistics found there show
that Campbell carried 14 times in a
loss to Atlanta, 22 times in a win
over Kansas City, 26 times in a win
over San Francisco and 13 times in a
loss to Los Angeles.
I haven’t changed my mind,”
Oilers head coach Bum Phillips said
Monday when asked about his pre
season statement that he wanted to
get the ball to Campbell 25 to 30
times a game.
Phillips, however, is a defensive
coach who entrusts the attacking
team to offensive coordinator Ken
Shipp. On the telephone line be
tween where Shipp sits in the press
box and where quarterback Dan
Pastorini stands on the sideline, the
plays for the next series are discus-
At his Monday news conference
following a 10-6 loss to Los Angeles,
Phillips defended Pastorini’s play
selection and said he would try to di
vert media criticism from the quar
terback. 4
“We’re gonna call all the clutch
plays (from now on),” Phillips said.
“I don’t want him (Pastorini)
criticized. ”
The argument for Campbell car-
rying the football more was not only
found in the sports sections. Several
Oilers players believe Campbell
should be a bigger part of the of
fense, and one of those players a-
greed to be quoted anonymously.
“Were in the wrong formation.
We’re not going to our strength.
We;re not calling the right plays.
We’re calling the same plays too
often. We’re not surprising anyone,
anytime,” he said.
Campbell s 77 yards on 13 carries
Sunday boosted his rushing total
after four games to 399 yards, sec
ond best in the NFL.
Last season, when he carried the
Texas Longhorns to an 11-0 regular
season, Campbell rushed 23 times
per game. In the four toughest
games of the regular season, he was
handed the ball an average of 29
times.
Said Rams defensive end Fred
carry
say
Dryer: “I’m surprised they didn’t
use Campbell more in the first half.
There were other comments
about the 5-11, 224-pound halfback
after the game.
I m glad that cat’s not in our divi
sion, All-Pro defensive end Jack
Youngblood said. “Once a year with
him is enough.”
Linebacker Isiah Robertson de-;
scribed an attempted tackle: “I was^
going to wrap him up, but he ran-
right over me. If I had to tackle that!
bleep every game. I’d make them;
double my contract.”
Cornerback Ralph Simpson said'
one reason Campbell is hard to-
tackle from the front because it wasl
hard to wrap his arms around;
Campbell s extralarge shoulder* 1
pads.
For the first time in the Rams
game, the Oilers had Campbell
wear tear-away jerseys. He ripped
his way out of four of them.

Vothing phony about well-liked Bostock
By MILTON RICHKtOMrv m ri.u„ w i . i . , . .
By MILTON RICHMOND
United Press International
NEW YORK — Lyman Bostock
is thinking to himself how good it
t to be alive.
He had just come off his best sea-
[i yet in baseball with Tacoma of
e Pacific Coast League where he
ain't .333. He was only 24 and
due to report to the parent
Innesota Twins in a couple of
tilths for the beginning of a new
iison.
plight now, though, he was get-
Jg a taste of winter ball with the
| araca y club in Venezuela and en-
s ,j*M n git tremendously.
On this particular day, he and
lie ,yl"| r ol her members of the team,
meet lJf Campbell, now with the Red
ox . ^ane Kuiper of the Indians;
/
Doug Flynn of the Mets, and Adrian
Garnett, who hit a ton of homers in
Japan this year and had shots with
the A’s and Cubs before that, were
in a ear going out to the ball park
and simply taking in the scenery.
Flynn, doing the driving, re
members the episode well, so we’ll
let him tell it.
“From out of nowhere, this guy in
a green truck comes up from behind
and forces me off the road,” says the
Mets second baseman.
“We wondered what was on his
mind, but we kept going. A little
while later, this same guy in the
green truck comes along again and
drives me off the road a second
time. I figured he either knew one of
us or else he was just looking for
trouble.
“I caught up with him and we all
yelled at him, wondering what the
devil he was trying to do. We gave
him a pretty good going over from
the car.
“Suddenly, without giving us any
warning,” Flynn goes on, “this guy
reaches down to the floor of his
truck and comes up with a gun. It
looked like a Luger or something
like that and all the guys in our car,
myself included, hit the floor when
he stuck the gun out of the window
and aimed it at us.
“All of us were pretty scared. We
got out of there in a hurry. Later,
we talked about it a lot and won
dered what made the guy do what
he did. Lyman always kidded me
about it afterwards. He’d say, ‘Hey,
Doug, there’s a guy in a green truck
looking for you.’
“Everybody liked Lyman, espe
cially the kids. When we were in
Venezuela, he’d always have time
for them, talking to them about
baseball and trying to learn their
language.”
Flynn had the same reaction as all
the other Met players who knew
Bostock when he heard the 27-
year-old Angels’ outfielder had been
shot and killed by a blast from a sec
ond car Sunday morning while rid
ing in another auto with three
others in Gary, Ind., where he was
visiting his relatives. Flynn was
shocked.
Bostock played out his option
with the Twins last year and re
ceived $3 million over five years
from the Angels to sign with them.
Joel Youngblood, another mem
ber of the Mets, played winter
ball with Bostock in Venezuela.
“Knowing the kind of individual
he was, completely sincere, I wasn’t
surprised at all when he offered to
give the Angels his first month’s sal
ary back after he got off to a slow
start this year. He meant it, too.
There wasn’t anything phony about
him.”
