KENT, Ohio — Pittsburgh
Steelers’ linebacker Jack Lambert
said Tuesday he expects the NFL
Players Association to call a strike
next summer, but he would “cross
the picket lines” if the walkout is
based on the issues now being dis
cussed by the union.
The contract between the club
owners and the union expires July
15, 1982 and the union already is
taking a militant stance.
NFLPA Executive Director Ed
Garvey is asking for a wage scale
based on years of service and 55
percent of the league’s gross re
venues.
“I will not strike and I will cross
the picket lines if a strike is called
by the NFLPA based on those
issues,” Lambert said in a tele
phone interview with reporters at
the Cleveland Browns’ training
camp.
Lambert thinks the union
would do better to seek a change
in free-agent rules, much like
baseball players enjoy.
“I am much more concerned
with our freedom, the opportunity
to move from one team to
another,” he said. “There is so
much money being made and the
players deserve their share.”
However, Garvey’s demand for
55 percent of the revenues is “tot
ally against the American free en
terprise system,” Lambert said.
“Ed Garvey is in the wrong
country.”
Lambert’s concern about move
ment of free agents is understand
able. He is in the final year of his
contract with the Steelers and if he
does not sign he will become a free
agent Feb. 1, 1982.
But unlike baseball, football
teams who lose such players are
compensated with draft choices
based on the free agent’s salary, choices ever make it to the majors.
Baseball teams also were compen- The Browns and Steelers will

ladelphia Phillies’ veteran will set
a record with his fifth All-Star
position — first base — Sunday.
Then he will try to set a National
League mark with his 3,631st hit
when the regular-season resumes
Monday.
Rose has been tied with Stan
Musial for the all-time hit record
since June 10. And if he sets the
record Monday, it will come
against Musial’s old team, the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Rose previously had been
selected for All-Star Games at
second base, third base, left and
right field. He will be joined by
two first-time starters — catcher
Gary Carter and outfielder Andre
Dawson, both of Montreal.
Former starters named to the
lineup are second baseman Dave
Lopes of Los Angeles, shortstop
Dave Concepcion of Cincinnati,
third baseman Mike Schmidt of
Philadelphia and outfielders
George Foster of Cincinnati and
Dave Parker of Pittsburgh.
In the AL, California’s Rod
Carew, the all-time leading vote-
getter, was named to the starting
lineup for the 12th consecutive
year. Carew, whose 784,354 votes
this year put his career total over
the 27 million mark, will make his
sixth straight start at first base af
ter six consecutive years as the
league’s All-Star second baseman.
Four New York Yankees —
second baseman Willie Randolph,
shortstop Bucky Dent and outfiel
ders Reggie Jackson and Dave
Winfield — join Carew in the
starting lineup along with Chicago
catcher Carlton Fisk, Kansas City
third baseman George Brett and
Baltimore outfielder Ken Sing
leton.
Commissioner Bowie Kuhn
announced Tuesday Vice Presi
dent George Bush will throw out
the first ball for the 52nd All-Star
Game in Cleveland, where the
first indications of the fans’ feel
ings will be seen. Only about 3
million fans voted for the All-Star
teams, about one-fourth of what it
would have been without a strike.
Before voting on how to resume
the season, the owners must first
vote to ratify the agreement which
ended the seven-week walkout
that canceled 38 percent of the
season. Player representatives
unanimously approved the strike
settlement in Chicago Saturday.

SOMEONE WAS WATCHING
As I looked out of my window at the countryside, drinking in its loveliness in the setting sun, my eyes fell upon them—and were
held by them. Why did they affect me so much? They were such delicate things, so frail and so pitiful. Here it was almost nightfall
vhen all living things should be preparing for sleep. And yet, there by my fence, these tiny sparrows were eating some left-over
rumbs. But why, sparrows, do you eat now, of all times, at nightfall... ? How hungry they must be, to be eating so late, even into
he night.
As I watched them pecking at the crumbs, it occurred to me—they were eating now only because there had been no food for them
diet—and soon, what they were eating now would be all gone.
As I thought of the many night they must have gone to sleep with the hunger still gnawing at them, something inside me made me
get up to get more bread for them. But as I approached, the birds were frightened, and in a flutter of wings, they were gone.
No! No! I don’t mean to hurt you. Sparrows, how can I let you know? I only want to give you the food that you need. How can I
lake you understand? Such small creatures as yourselves—your own fellows you understand, and they you. You share in each other
the same frail life. You can fly together, speak together, hunger together. These things I can really have no part in. To you I am just a
itrange being you can neither comprehend nor trust. Oh, if only I were a sparrow—a sparrow just like you are. . .then you wouldn’t
be frightened, you wouldn’t fly away from me. Then you would understand.
Pondering, in my bewilderment, I saw something.
Thousands of years ago, someone was watching man in much the same way. And even as He watched man, He loved man very
nuch. Deep within Him was the desire to be close to man. Even more than being close, He desired to be one with man.
Man, on the one hand, is like a sparrow: so frail, so hungry, so powerless to help himself—eating when he should be resting, at
est when he should be eating; hungering more after what crumbs of temporary happiness and fulfillment he can find. And the
nevitable nights of desiring more, something more, deeper...
And the One, on the other hand, Himself the fulfillment of all man’s desires, was so willing, so wanting to love man and fill man.
Yet in all His vastness, man just couldn’t comprehend Him. And what man could not understand, he only feared.
There was only one way.
He—the God of the whole universe—must Himself become a man. The very God, the Almighty God, has become flesh. “The
Word became flesh” (John 1:14). Who is the Word? The God who created everything. This Word, God the Creator, has become
flesh. Why did He become flesh? Simply that He might be the same as we are. We are men of blood and flesh, and Christ partook of
the same (Heb. 2:14-18). He became a human being sharing in our blood and flesh. God came in the flesh not to command us to do
something, but to be one with us. He did not come as God to rescue us for that would have terrified us. He did not come as an angel
to embrace us, for we could not have accepted that. Although Christ is God, He came, in reality, just as we are.
There is no need for you to fly away from Him like a frightened sparrow.
Come! Enjoy Him freely!
