i unfortun jsly approved his $12 million pur

lake good it
when the sale was announced he
would keep the Orioles in Baltimore
as long as the fans supported the
team. He said later the Orioles
would not play any games in Wash
ington next season.
The AL owners are holding their
annual meeting at the Plaza Hotel.
Jerold Hoffberger, who will re
main the club’s president, an
nounced his intention Aug. 2 to sell
the team to Williams, ending a
six-month-long attempt by a group
of Baltimore businessmen to buy
the Orioles.
The club owners’ approval
virtually assures that Williams will
become sole owner of the club. The
team’s board of directors meets
Nov. 1 to execute the final docu
ments of sale.
The Orioles will be held in a
newly created company called
EBW, Inc. Tax experts believe
Williams will create a “subchapter
S” corporation, a partnership-like
device that will allow him to use $6
million worth of player depreciation
in less than four years.
Williams agreed with the AL
owners’ requirement that he step
down as president of the Redskins.
He owns 16 percent of the NFL
team, with businessman Jack Kent
Cooke owning the majority interest.

ing Tuesday in the weekly UPI
Board of Coaches ratings.
The Crimson Tide, 6-0, fell be
hind Johnny Majors’ Tennessee
squad, before rallying for a 27-17
victory. The triumph helped
Alabama garner 36 first-place votes
and a total of 622 points, 43 ahead of
No. 2 Nebraska, which jumped from
the No. 3 spot with a 36-0 romp over
Oklahoma State.
“They’re (the players) flying
around on cloud nine,’ Bryant said
when asked about his team’s slow
start Saturday. “We got to keep
working at it (the No. 1 ranking).”
While Alabama maintained the
top spot. No. 2-ranked Texas lost a
17-14 heart-breaker to, No, 10 Ar
kansas, dropping the Longhorns to
No. 8 (just ahead of Oklahoma) and
vaulting Arkansas, 6-0, up to No. 5.
Arkansas Coach Lou Holtz thinks
the No. 5 position may be a bit lofty
for his Razorbacks.
“I hope Tm wrong, but I don’t
think we re the fifth best team in the
country right now,” Holtz said.
“Were a lot better than I thought
we were before the season started,
but I still don’t think we re the fifth
best.”
Arkansas will not have much time
to savor the Texas victory, however.
This week, the Razorbacks host
Houston, also 6-0 and a 37-10 win
ner over SMU Saturday to move up
from No. 5 to No. 4 in the new
ratings.
The other members of the Top 10
this week are Southern California
(No. 3), Ohio State (6), Florida State
(7) and Michigan (10).

Swann's case continues
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — City offi
cials plan to appeal the $162,075 in
damages awarded to Pittsburgh
Steelers’ wide receiver Lynn Swann
and three relatives following the
trial of their suit charging police
brutality.
A Superior Court jury awarded
Swann, his two brothers and a
cousin more than $40,000 each Fri
day, while ordering them to pay
$15,000 to two policemen and an
additional $3,300 to the city.
Swann and his relatives had filed
a $2 million suit in which they al
leged police brutality during a 1974
incident that started with a scuffle
after they were stopped for running
a red light. The plaintiffs testified
they had been beaten at a police sta-
Jorgensen gone
to New York
United Press International
ARLINGTON, Texas — The
Texas Rangers Tuesday sent first
baseman Mike Jorgensen to the
New York Mets to complete a trade
for first baseman Willie Montanez.
The Rangers acquired Montanez
in August, giving the Mets minor

Lynch and agreeing to add another
player after the season.

six home runs and 16 RBI.
tion and subjected to racial epithets
by officers.
A cross-complaint was filed by
four policemen, who asked for
$200,000 in damages. The city also
sued for several thousand dollars in
medical and leave expenses for the
officers.
“The verdict of the jury is against
the evidence. The evidence doesn’t
support the award,” City Attorney
George Agnost said Monday. “The
evidence showed that the police of
ficers were attacked by the Swanns
and that the Swanns did not tell the
truth during the trial.”
A date has not been set for the
appeal, Agnost said.
Brian Swann, a dentist and
brother of the All-Pro wide re
ceiver, said, “I would expect the
appeal because their feelings are
hurt. They’ve been embarrassed
that these four black men persisted
in a case that demonstrated that if
people are subjected to illogical
abuse, they can fight it all the way
and win.”
