titled the man as Wood.
Wood, who has the highest
winning record of any high school
coach in the country, had been
asked to appear on the show to
defend schoolboy football and was
unaware the film was to be shown.
Although ABC has apologized
and asked for the resignation of
the woman who produced the seg
ment, Wood said he was sorry he
agreed to appear on the show.
“I can’t sleep at night and I can’t
work in the day,” he said. “I don’t
understand any of it really. I took
time off when I needed to be here,
then went up there and got in
volved in this thing.
“They just got a country boy up
there and tried to ride him to
death,” Wood said Wednesday. “I
don’t feel very good about it.”
In New York, ABC spokesman
Peter Heller described the inci
dent as “doorknock journalism,”
which he defined as “surprising
someone without their know
ledge.”
While Wood said he was sorry
someone lost their job, he said he
also believed “everybody in
volved (at ABC) was in on it. Even
if they had the right coach (the one
in the film), they should have told
him rather than embarrass him on
national TV.”
Although Heller said Hii»
was unaware of the film'll
tents, Wood said the ABcl
“seemed to know a lot abc J
stupid film clip.”
Heller said the woman
had been with the progre*
several years, said only tk|
film was the coach and thepal
and did not elaborate on tl;j
content.
“Apparently, the way (14
structured the segment,
out to ambush the coach,"SI
said. "She thought it was

damaging to him. Butasilt^

United Press Internationa)
EL RENO, Okla. — For
$5,500, a Texas couple walked
away from a Rock Island bankrupt
cy auction with a caboose, ending
a two-year search for the perfect
poolside cabana.
Another caboose went for
$1,200 Wednesday and the Tulsa,
Okla., family that bought it is
thinking of turning it into a pool-
side deck.
The two-day auction of equip
ment, railway cars and buildings
at the bankrupt Rock Island’s yard
west of Oklahoma City could net
as much as $1 million, auctioneer
Donovan Arterbum said.
It is the railroad’s 18th auction
nationwide and it drew crowds of
collectors, buyers from other rail
roads and the curious.
