mation for the national media,
he said, but must not ignore or
lower the importance of the
state and local media which use
the service on a day-to-day basis.
But the idea of providing for
national media doesn’t shake
Carpenter at all.
“They don’t scare me,” he
said. “In fact, I know most of
them by their first names.”
Carpenter said his job is not
simply an 8-to-5 job. Instead, he
has often spent many extra
hours preparing for the press.
Football is the first item on
the agenda for Carpenter’s staff.
He said once one game is over,
information gathering begins
for the next game at midnight
following the previous game
and continues through the
week.
“You have to be prepared to
be versatile, you have to be flexi
ble and you have to be prepared
to work long hours,” Carpenter
said. “I’ve received calls at home
during football season as late as
2 in the morning, and I expect
that,” he said.
He said the tough work will
begin with the SWC football
press tour Aug. 27, although
much of the football work began
this month. His staff is currently
working on a football media
guide, which will be complete in
late July.

LOS ANGELES — The own
er of the new United States Foot
ball League’s Los Angeles fran
chise said Monday he is eyeing
the Rose Bowl and the Coliseum
as possible playing sites for his
team.
Jim S. Joseph, a San Mateo,
Calif., resident and president of
the Interland Corp., also said he
is considering six candidates to
coach the team he will call the
Stars, the Earthquakes or the
Condors.
At a news conference to
announce the choice of veteran
television executive Chet Sim
mons commissioner of the new
league, Joseph said he hopes to
decide all three issues in a few
weeks.
In other comments, Joseph
said he intends to charge from
$4.50 to $5 for tickets to his
team’s games.
Admission prices, he said, will
“allow a family to come to the
games for the same price as it
costs to go to the movies.”
