Manager claims Moses
victim of circumstance
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Edwin Moses,
the two-time Olympic gold medalist
facing charges of soliciting a prosti
tute and possessing a small amount
of marijuana, prepared to defend
his previously unsoiled image at a
news conference Tuesday.
Moses, chosen by his fellow ath
letes to recite their oath at the Open
ing Ceremonies of the Summer
Games, was to appear at the mid-af
ternoon conference with his wife,
Myrella, to comment on his weekend
arrest.
“After the press conference, you
will know he is not culpable,” his
manager, Gordon Baskin, said.
Baskin denied Moses solicited a
female undercover officer posing as
a hooker on Sunset Boulevard and
said the small amount of marijuana
found in the athlete’s car was not his.
Moses’ lawyer, Harold Lipton,
said Monday the track star was en
trapped by police who recognized
his car with its distinctive "OLYM-
PYN” license plate and thought he
would be a good catch. So Edwin was
picked up.
Moses, one of 82 men arrested
early Sunday during a vice souad
sweep in Hollywood, was freed on
his own recognizance pending a Jan.
29 arraignment.
Police said Moses was approached
by an undercover officer working
with a "trick task force” and offered
her money for sex.
Baskin said Moses told him the
woman waved him down at a stop
sign as he was returning from a disco
where he had spent the evening with
members of the U.S. Olympic Com
mittee’s Athletes Advisory Commit
tee.
“She came around to the passen
ger side and said something to the
effect of, ‘What are you looking
for?”’ he said. “Edwin looked at her
and said, ‘I’m just out to have some
fun.’ At that point she asked, ‘Do
you have some money?’ And he said.
Sure, I have $100.’”
Baskin said the woman then asked
him to meet her around the corner,
but Moses instead rolled up his win
dow and drove off. He was stopped
by police more than a block away.
“You have to have criminal intent
and proceed with the act,” Baskin
said. “Edwin never had a criminal in
tent and he never proceeded with
the act.”
A policewoman who works the
“trick task force” said she doubted
Moses’ story and added, “They all
say they were just kidding.”
Baskin also said the small amount
of marijuana found in the car did
not belong to Moses.
“Edwin does not smoke marijuana
and he never uses drugs,” he said.
If convicted of solicitation, Moses
could face a maximum penalty of six
months in jail and a $1,000 fine, a
spokesman for the City Attorney’s
Office said. If found guilty of the
marijuana charge, he could be fined
$100.
Moses won the gold medal in the
400-meter hurdles in the 1976 and
1984 Olympics. He has won more
than 100 consecutive races over
seven years without a defeat.
He also holds the world record for
the 400-meter hurdles, 47.02 sec
onds, and in 1983 won the Sullivan
Award as the nation’s top amateur
athlete.
Super Bowl XIX
San Francisco's gone crazy
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — OK, OK.
It's a big event. But big enough to
warrant production of a thousand
counterfeit tickets? Big enough to
point guns at someone’s head and
steal their real tickets? Big enough to
kidnap your kids’ Cabbage Patch
dolls ana offer them in trade for one
ticket?
What’s going on? What is this
event that has turned dull insurance
salesmen in London Fog raincoats
into raving lunatics for the chance to
be there to see it?
Dolly Parton attempting to play
the accordion?
Billy Shoemaker trying to slam
dunk a basketball?
Nope. Nope.
We’re talking about a football
game. Sixty minutes worth of large
men grunting and trying to hurt
each other’s knees in something
called the Super Bowl this Sunday.
But for the craziness it has
brought to San Francisco, you’d
think Evil Knievel was jumping the
Golden Gate Bridge in a rowboat.
Months ago, the ticket scalping
began. People offered $200 to buy
the $60 tickets before they even
knew who was going to play in the
game. And the scalpers held out for
$300.
Then, the local boys made it. The
San Francisco 49ers were in the Su
per Bowl, and people were out of
their minds. Two guys held travel
agents at gunpoint this week and
swiped 50 tickets. A couple talked
eight friends into putting up an
$800 deposit on tickets from a man
who furnished a computerized bill
of sale, and then, according to po
lice, took the money and went to In
dia.
People are advertising their insan
ity in the local newspapers’ classified
section.
First, there are the cut and dried
big money deals:
— 2 Superbowl tix. $ 1000 each.
— 49ers fans need 4 tickets, will pay
$600 each.
— 2 tickets for sale. $700 each, call
9am-1 lam Illinois time.
These people, for the most part, are
bonkers. A thousand bucks for one
seat to one football game. In a sta
dium where umbrellas have been
banned by the National Football
League? In San Francisco? In the
rainy winter season?
For a thousand bucks you could
buy a new color TV.
T hen there are the fairly crazy,
who want to go to the game but don’t
want to lay out harcl cash for the
right.
— 24K gold necklace, paid $2200.
will trade for good Superbowl tick
ets.
— will trade ’68 Pontiac Bonneville
convertible for 2 Superbowl tickets.
(How’s this guy going to get to the
game?)
Then we have the folks who have
gone over the deep end. These peo
ple are desperate. They would trade
in their grandmother for a chance to
see the Super Bowl.
— Will trade cabbage patch kids for
superbowl tickets.
— Do you need a new roof? Will
trade roof for (4) Superbowl tix.
— (2) Superbowl tix wanted. Will
trade contractor’s license course.
— Need 2 tix. offering rountrip,
Istclass, to paris or nice, Air France.
And last, and least, we have the
dentists. Guys who, on the average,
pull in more than $100,000 a year oy
pulling teeth. They won’t pay.a cent
for a ticket. But they’ll do a root ca
nal.
Gan’t you see these guys at the
game? Sip a beer, swirl it around in
their mouth and then spit it into a
ceramic bowl that they’ve installed
beside their seat. These guys wait
until their friends have half a hot
dog, a bag of popcorn and then ask,
“What did you think of the first
half?”
OK, so you’ve traded in your Pon
tiac and arranged for psychiatric
counseling for your children who
have just watched their Gabbage
Patch Kids handed over to a
stranger who threw them into the
trunk of his car.
You get to Stanford Stadium, and
you get arrested. Seems those tickets
you nave are counterfeits. Two of
some 1,000 that police say were pro
duced. You are booked for posses
sion of stolen property, and not only
don’t you see the game in person,
you don’t even see it on TV.
A word about the quality of the
counterfeit tickets — bad. The real
tickets have small seat number nu
merals over a picture of the Golden
Gate Bridge with a purple-sunset
background. The fakes have a blue
background and giant letters and
numerals.
At least the counterfeiters got the
bridge right. But in this city gone
mad, you get the distinct impression
that people would pay 500 bucks for
a Super Bowl ticket with pictures of
the Eiffel Tower and Harpo Marx
on it.
49er home field advantage
mean little Super Sunday
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO - Various
members of the San Francisco 49ers
woke up Tuesday jn their own
abodes, wherever those might be,
and went about business pretty
much the same way they have since
July-
Those who are a part of the Mi
ami Dolphins, meanwhile, found
themselves 3,000 miles away from
where they had started the previous
day — trying to get their internal
docks used to a three-hour time
change and their bodies used to the
cool and damp of their new sur
roundings.
And while most of those who will
participate in next Sunday’s Super
Bowl admit that the 49ers have an
edge as far as daily schedules go,
they feel it should make no differ
ence when it comes time for Miami
and San Francisco to settle the issue
as to which is the best team in the
NFL.
“It doesn’t make any difference if
it is Stanford Stadium (site of Super
Bowl XIX) or Albuquerque,” said
San Francisco coach Bill Walsh.
"The only thing that matters is that
the field is lined properly and that
the buses get you there on time.”
With both teams finally fully in
volved in Super Bowl week, activities
escalated Tuesday.
The Dolphins and 49ers both put
on their game uniforms and stood
around while having their pictures
taken and their brains rattled with
the daily batch of questioning.
Miami went through its hour’s ses
sion with the media at the Oakland
Coliseum in the early morning with
fog still lingering. A few hours later
the 49ers did the same thing at Can
dlestick Park. Even their interview
session was staged on their home
turf.
Three years ago, when San Fran
cisco went to Detroit to play Cincin
nati in Super Bowl XVI, Walsh had
plenty of complaints about the prob
lems created by playing on the road.
And he is still complaining about
them.
“There was only one practice field
and we had to use it first,” said
Walsh. “Because of the time change
we had to get up at 3:30 in the morn
ing Pacific time and practice at
6:30.”
Now that his team is getting to
play the Super Bowl only a few exits
down the freeway, Walsh still finds
some things wrong.
“Yes, it s an advantage to be able
to practice at our own facility (in
Reawood City, only a few miles from
Stanford Stadium) and be able to go
to our homes at night and follow the
routine we are used to following.
“But there can be some difficul
ties, too. There is a lot of excitement
around here (in the San Francisco
area). There can be distractions in
volved with your everyday home life
that you might not be thinking about
if you were away from home in a ho
tel.
“It’s a mixed bag.”
Although Walsh was still not sure
of his plans, he was leaning toward
having the 49ers report to their air-
f ort hotel home away from home on
riday night. And he said some play
ers might even want to check into
the hotel before then.
“I guess it depends on what it’s
like at home,” he said.
Shula, who will be coaching his
sixth Super Bowl, has long since
g rown used to making himself at
ome no matter what the surround
ings. But he said it was obvious that
the 49ers had the more preferable
set of circumstances in which to sur
vive the week leading up to the
game.
“It sure is a lot colder here than
we are used to,” Shula said in the
first moments after he stepped off
the plane which carried the Dol
phins to northern California.
“Sure, they (the 49ers) are going
to have an advantage. They get to
stay home all week and relax at
home and be with their families.
“It would be just as difficult for
them if they came to Miami and we
got to stay at home all week.
“But the time factor really
shouldn’t make much difference.
You take one day to adjust to it and
then you just go on from there.
Hey, we’re just happy to be here
