He so had three bronzes to go with | silver he earned Saturday in ||i competition, for a total of re medals, one short of the NSF icord. “I don’t have any goals any- ore,” Caso said. Soon after Case’s victory, Brian [eeker of Edina, Minn., slam- ed into the long horse on a vault- ^ g attempt and was taken to, Crouse-Irving Memorial Hospit al. However, he suffered only swelling in the chest and neck area and was to be held for overnight observation. Meeker won the men’s all-around gold Saturday. In other gymnastics results, Roy Palassou of Santa Clara, Calif., won gold medals in the floor exercise and parallel bars, Brian Babcock of Enid, Okla., won the pommel horse, Ron Gali- more ofTallahassee, Fla., took the vaulting, and Tim Daggett of Springfield, Mass., was best at the horizontal bar.

Stuart Gray, a 7-foot center, and guard Butch Hays scored 15 points each to lead the unbeaten West. The South got 27 points from Kentucky’s Jim Master.

The six-day Festival concludes today with finals in basketball, ice hockey, indoor speed skating, judo and volleyball. Separate meetings held to discuss strike issues United Press International NEW YORK — Admitting time is running out on the 1981 baseball season, major league players and owners scheduled separate meetings on separate coasts today to discuss efforts to bring about a settle ment in the 48-day baseball strike. While Marvin Miller, executive director of the Players Association, holds a regional meeting in Los Angeles for area players (beginning at 11:30 a.m. PDT), major-league owners meet separately and as a group in New York to discuss recent developments in the strike that has canceled 565 games — more than a quarter of the season. Ray Grebey, head of the Player Relations Com mittee, will brief the 26 owners at 3:30 p.m. EDT after the American and National League owners hold separate meetings two hours earlier. Two representatives from each club are expected to attend the PRC meeting with Grebey. AL spokesman Bob Fishel described the latter meeting as “an overall review and report on the status of the negotiations.” “The only reason we re having this meeting is for the PRC to provide us with information,” said Toron to club President Peter Bavasi. Hal Middlesworth, spokesman for the PRC, said he had “no idea” if the owners might propose a change on their stand of free-agent compensation. Federal mediator Ken Moffett is trying to get both sides back to the bargaining table. Talks broke off last Thursday in Washington. “I’m still talking to them (both sides),” Moffett said Tuesday night. “Nothing is set right now. Ultimately they’ll get back together, but I don’t know when.” Player representatives met for nearly 5Vi hours in Chicago Monday night and reaffirmed their support of Miller and the bargaining committee. New York Yankees’ player rep Reggie Jackson, attending the National Sports Festival at Syracuse, N.Y. Tuesday, said some positive things came out of the meeting. “We had a lot of discussions over exactly what proposals were on the table, saying, ‘What are your feelings on it?’ and generally good talk,” he said. Jackson took exception to stories written about players criticizing the union. “They (the players) were misquoted,” Jackson said. “I have heard something from Davey Lopes, Steve Kemp and Dan Schatzeder, and all three were misquoted. Kemp said to me, T will sell my car and sell my house if I have to.’” But Boston Red Sox pitcher Dennis Eckersley told a Boston newspaper not all players are solidly behind the union. “I’ll bet you’d be surprised at some of the guys who’d say, ‘Screw the strike, let’s play ball, ” Eckers ley said in an interview published Tuesday in the Boston Herald American. Eckersley said the latest offer by management “seems to he a fairly descent jproposal.” Cleveland Indians President Gabe Paul said Tues day the club owners’ insurance fund is little consola tion to the loss of almost seven weeks of baseball. “Everybody says that the strike insurance is this bonanza and we are making money,” he said. “No way. All it did was keep us afloat for a few weeks during the strike. In a strike situation like this, there are no winners.” The strike issue still remains free-agent compensa tion with the owners demanding “direct” compensa tion and the players favoring a “pool” system. Another problem is the players say they will hold up any settlement until they get accredited service time for days missed during the strike. Service time counts toward such matters as free agency and pen sion benefits. “That is a serious problem,” Jackson said. “I think in about 99 percent of all strikes they’ve been given accredited service.” 0, Or lEZauT PXri r OPEN AT 2 P.M.

With Robert Newhouse and Timmy Newsome still sidelined by leg injuries. Springs quickly has become a frontrunner in the three-way battle for the starting fullback position alongside half back Tony Dorsett. “Springs definitely looks quick er,” said Al Lavan, coach of the running backs. “I think that’s mainly because he has a year of experience behind him at fullback and he knows the position much better. ” After a fine rookie season as Dorsett’s backup in 1979, Springs was moved to fullback last year. The fifth-round draft choice from Ohio State opened the season as starting fullback, then twisted an ankle three weeks into the season and was unable to regain the job from the veteran Newhouse. Coach Tom Landry had said the fullback position would be open this year going into traning camp and he hoped someone would emerge as a clearcut starter. Landry said the main thing he was seeking from Springs was im provement in his blocking. “Like we do with all our play ers,” said Lavan, “we explained to Ron exactly what he needs to do this year to win a starting job. We haven’t had much contact work yet, but when we have he has blocked much better, with a lot more enthusiasm.” Landry recently acknowledged he probably made a mistake by handing the starting job to Springs last year “on anticipating instead of on merit.” The Best Pizza In Town!
