Seahawks and 49ers open exhibition season tonight
United Press International
Believe it or not, the Seattle
Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers
have been eagerly waiting for
tonight.
That’s when the two teams,
which combined to win just 10
games last season, can forget ab
out their misfortunes of 1980.
The Seahawks, 4-12 last season,
host the 49ers, 6-10 in 1980, to
kick off the first full week of exhibi
tion play.
Both coaches. Jack Patera of
Seattle and Bill Walsh of San
Francisco, will be wanting a good
look at their top draft choices.
Safety Kenny Easley, the Sea
hawks’ first-round choice from
UCLA, and Ronnie Lott, a comer-
back who played safety at South
ern California, will both start.
“Both have the ability to play
either comer or safety and they’re
big, strong, fast and aggressive,”
said Jackie Simpson, Seattle’s new
defensive coordinator. “They are
two of the best secondary players
I’ve seen come into the league in a
long time.”
Lott will be one of three rookies
starting in the 49ers secondary.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. —
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who
makes $1 million a year, says
money wasn’t discussed at a meet
ing with Los Angeles Lakers’ own
er Jerry Buss at which the big cen
ter said he will remain with the
club, scotching reports he wanted
to be traded.
Jabbar, six times the NBA’s
Most Valuable Player, met for
more than an hour Monday with
Buss and came out saying mis
understandings over Magic John
son’s $25 million, 25-year contract
had been resolved.
“A basketball team is much like
a family,” Jabbar said, “and when
one member has been singled out,
often times other people in that
family can become jealous.
“if you have jealousy, everyone
cannot be working toward the
same goal. I would also like to
point out that salary was not even
mentioned during the meeting.”
“I have always had an intense
desire to win, but the atmosphere
here had not been conducive to
ward that goal,” Jabbar said.
“However, after meeting with my
boss this afternoon, the rumors of
my departure are premature and I
look forward to ending my career
with the Lakers.
“My teammates and I are look
ing forward to the upcoming sea
son and winning the world cham
pionship again.”
The problem apparently in
volved the contract recently
signed by the 22-year-old John
son. The pact is in essence a two-
part contract, covering roles that
Johnson will play as both player
and later as part of management.
Jabbar and other Lakers re
portedly were concerned over
Johnson’s status: how could he be
disciplined by coaches if he was, in
fact, a part of management. A
spokesman for Buss said there had
been misconstructions of John
son’s status under the unique con
tract.
“Johnson is a player first and
only after his playing days are over
will he then become part of man
agement,” said Lakers’ spokes
man Bruce Jolesch. “Some of the
concern was — could Head Coach
Paul Westhead discipline the 22-
year-old superstar.
Jolesch said Buss cleared up
those issues for Abdul-Jabbar,
reiterating the fact Magiic was a
player and “re-establishing
Jabaar’s faith in the winning
atmosphere in Los Angeles.”
Before the meeting, Buss said
he would offer to raise his center’s
contract to $1.5 million when the
current pact runs out before the
1983-84 season.

The others are cornerback Eric
Wright, a second-round draft pick
from Missouri, and safety Carlton
Williamson, a third-round choice
from Pittsburgh.
In addition to the rookie defen
sive players, San Francisco also
acquired linebacker Jack
Reynolds, 33, who became a free
agent after 11 years with the Los
Angeles Rams.
With Easley at safety, Keith
Simpson will be the starting cor
nerback for the Seahawks. The
combination of Easley with veter
ans Simpson and Dave Brown at
the corners gives Seattle three
No. 1 draft picks in its secondary.
On offense both teams are
hurting.
Running backs Paul Hofer,
Lenvill Elliott and Phil Francis
are not expected to play for the
49ers and Sherman Smith, Dan
Doornink and rookie David
Hughes are questionable for the
Seahawks.
Quarterback Joe Montana will
play at least the first quarter with
Steve DeBerg getting some time.
Backups Guy Benjamin and Gary
Huff will get their shots Aug. 15
against San Diego.
Jim Zorn will open for Seattle
with backups Sam Adkins and
Dave Krieg also likely to play.

In other training camp news:
— Running back Rick Kane,
who backs up Billy Sims, ended
his holdout Tuesday by signing a
new contract and reporting to the
Detroit Lions’ camp.
“We worked it out Monday
night,” Kane said. “It’s a good con
tract.”
— Quarterback Ken Anderson
is expected to start for Cincinnati
against Tampa Bay. But Coach
Forrest Gregg said backups Jack
Thompson and Turk Schonert are
also likely to play. Wide receiver
Don Bass and safeties Dick Jauron
and Shafer Suggs are recovering
