David Carter says Houston
waiting for union feedback
“We voted to accept it with
minor changes,” he said.
Sources said the vote was 28-5
for acceptance.
Elvin Bethea, an Oiler and
member of the NFL Players
Association Council, was dis
patched to call union Executive
Director Ed Garvey in New York
with the ballot results.
David Carter, assistant Oiler
player representative, said the
players had decided not to dis
close the results until they had
“received a positive reaction
from the union.” He refused to
be more specific.
“To do so would tell you how
we voted,” he said.
A Houston radio station,
however, reported Tuesday
night that the Oilers would with
hold their approval of the offer
pending four key changes in the
owners’ proposal.
KTRH reported the Oilers
wanted a 49-player roster in
stead of 45, pay for a full 1982
contract no matter how many
games are played, clarified sev-
erence pay of the owner’s
“money now” proposal and to
approve the NFL draft as it
stands until 1986, not 1992.

NEW YORK — The talent is
in the American League while
the National League provides
the intrigue today in baseball’s
seventh annual free-agent re
entry draft.
Steve Garvey, the glamor
name in a weak crop of NL free
agents, will take the first step to
ward discarding Dodger blue as
the grab bag begins at noon CST
at a midtown hotel.
A lifetime .302 hitter who
hasn’t missed a major-league
game since 1975, Garvey has
effectively severed his longtime
relationship with Los Angeles.
The 33-year-old first baseman is
the most-prized NL free agent
after his failure to reach terms
with the Dodgers by the Satur
day deadline.
Garvey, however, said Tues
day that he’s still holding out for
the possibility that the Dodgers
will draft him.
“I really do like it here,” he
said. “We have done everything
possible ... but I could not accept
that last offer,” the terms of
which he did not reveal.
Hard-throwing Floyd Ban
nister, 27, heads an impressive
list of AL free agents available.
Although he sports a paltry life
time record of 51-68 in the ma
jor leagues, Bannister led the
league last season with 209
strikeouts while posting a 12-13
mark with Seattle.
The Dodgers and California
Angels both failed last week to
land the 6-foot-1 southpaw, and
both clubs are prevented from
signing Bannister as a free agent
because they are prohibited
from the compensation pool for
Type A players.
Joining Bannister as Class A
free agents are a pair of AL out
fielders, Steve Kemp of the Chi
cago White Sox and Baltimore’s
John Lowenstein.
A pair of powerful designated
hitters augment the strong AL
free-agent roster. Neither Kan
sas City’s Hal McRae, nor Cali
fornia’s Don Baylor will require
compensation.
Among other NL players
available are fleet Pittsburgh
outfielder Omar Moreno, Hous
ton catcher Alan Ashby and
veteran Montreal reliever
Woodie Fryman, who posted a
9-4 record and added 12 saves
last season at the age of 42.
One of the teams known to be
interested in Bannister is the
New York Yankees.
“The Yankees are certainly
one of the teams that will be con- nia, Los Angeles, Minnesota and
sidered,” said Tom Reich, Ban- Seattle — elected last year not to
nister’s agent. “I get along fine participate in the selection of
with George (principal owner Type “A” ranking players and

With all these changes, the
purs should be struggling to
et it all together. Instead, they
re sporting a 6-1 record.
“We still have a lot of periods
lltere we’re very rough. People
ien’tawareof what’s going on,”
Mch Stan Albeck said Tuesday
ightafter the Spurs took a 118-
” victory over the Utah Jazz.
"Once we get the wrinkles
t, I think we can play really
lid and be a great basketball
■am. You can’t make changes
- , rernight. You haven’t seen the
Jorfo' :al Artis Gilmore surface.
“He’s feeling his way. Artis
as been playing good basket
ball for us. He’s always been
there when we needed him.”
Gilmore scored 22 points and
pulled in 15 rebounds for the
Spurs. He grabbed six rebounds
and scored 12 points in the third
quarter, including five straight
San Antonio field goals, to give
the Spurs an 85-72 margin.
“Artis is playing tremendous
basketball for us. He is a great
rebounder,” said teammate
George Gervin, who added 12
points.
Mike Mitchell poured in 25
points for the Spurs and Banks
added another 12. Mitchell
scored 18 points in the second
quarter to offset 10 points from
Darrell Griffith and stake the
Spurs to a 60-55 halftime lead.
The Jazz took advantage of
poor San Antonio shooting to
grab an early 24-14 edge but
went scoreless the final 3:20 of
the first period as the Spurs ran
off 15 straight points.
