Stock market crash alters NFL’s stance with players KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — NFL officials said Tuesday that they hope to resume bargaining with the play ers union soon, but with a revised of fer on one of the main issues because the players’ pension fund lost $39 million in the stock market problems of the past two weeks. Jack Donlan, executive director of the NFL Management Council, said he expects to speak next week with union head Gene Upshaw to try to resume negotiations. Earlier, Commissioner Pete Ro- zelle had said he hoped negotiations could be concluded by next March so the league can go ahead with its expansion plans. The owners also voted to play the rest of the season with 50-man ros ters — 45 players active each Sunday and a five-man reserve squad. But the main topic of the dis cussion was the 24-day strike that ended Oct. 15 and its after-effects, including the antitrust suit filed by the union against the owners when it ordered the players back to work. Among other things, it seeks the free agency the players were unable to get at the bargaining table. During the strike, it was the play ers who constantly sought negotia tions, but this time it was the owners. “1 think it’s in the interest of both sides to negotiate,” Rozelle said. However, the union said it wasn’t interested in resuming talks unless the owners changed their position on major issues. And any talks may be complicated by the effect of the stock market on the pension fund, a major area of contention between the two sides. Donlan disclosed that “the last time I checked” what had once been a $40 million surplus in the pension fund had been reduced to $1 million by losses from the fund’s stock mar ket investments. The owners have been offering to add $37 million to the fund, but $18 million of that is money the owners never put in and is now in conten tion in a separate lawsuit. “1 don’t know how much we’re going to l>e restricted now by what happened,” Donlan said. “Now they’ve got problems with the stock market thing,” Rozelle said. ‘They had money to play around with in the surplus. But they don’t have that anymore.” The increased roster size was ap proved without a formal vote, al though participants at the meeting said that nearly enough teams spoke in favor of staying with the current 45-man limit that it seemed in dan ger for a while of failing to get the necessary 21 votes. In the first week after the strike, Landry: QB White’s job may be in jeopardy IRVING (AP) — Dallas quar terback Danny White could be yanked from Monday night’s NFL game against the New York Giants if he doesn’t produce. Cowboys Coach Tom Landry said Tuesday. “White is capable of leading us to the playoffs, but he does have his handicaps,” Landry said. “His wrist is bothering him and he’s moving out of the pocket more than he should trying to make something happen.” Asked if White would go to the bullpen if he faltered against the Gi ants, Landry said, “Sure, I’d be more inclined to do that than anytime. It would be just a feel I would have to make. I would have to make the de cision down there in the arena.” White is playing without a liga ment in his right wrist, which makes throwing on the run difficult. The li gament was lost during off-season surgery. “Danny can’t grip the ball to throw it and he fumbles it because he can’t grip it,” Landry said. “He’s got to start taking care of the ball.” The line of succession would he Steve Pelluer, Paul McDonald and possibly rookie Kevin Sweeney, who starred in two replacement games. Landry said Pelluer would get the first call if White’s having a bad night. “He’s a good athlete, but his confi dence needs to be built,” Landry said. “He can really throw the ball." McDonald has yet to play in a reg ular-season NFL game for the Cow boys, and Landry said Sweeney rated a look, particularly next sea son. “We might keep him around to see what he can do next year,” Landry said. Landry said the Cowboys had bet ter come alive or they could be routed by the Giants, who lost 16-14 to Dallas in the second game of the regular season on Sept. 20. “I don’t have a team that is re sponding right now. We need to wake up,” Landry said. “I don’t see any difference in the caliber of play from the team that went to the Su per Bowl last year.” The Giants, who won their first game of the season by defeating St. Louis 30-7 on Sunday, opened as seven-point favorites against the Cowboys. The Cowboys said some 15,000 tickets remained for the 8 p.m. CST nationally televised game in Texas Stadium. It has to be sold out 72 hours in advance to be televised lo cally. Bronco’s loss of Willhite more severe than defeat MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The loss of running back Gerald Willhite could prove more meaningful to the Denver Broncos than the setback the defending AFC champions were dealt by the Minnesota Vikings. Willhite will be out for the season after suffering a multiple fracture of his right leg in the Vikings’ 34-27 victory Monday night. “The loss of Gerald is a big one,” Broncos Coach Dan Reeves said. “He does so many things for us that people don’t realize. He’s a good blocker and runner and pass re ceiver. We’ll miss him.” Willhite broke the leg in two places, and suffered a bone chip and an injured ankle. He was scheduled to undergo sur gery Tuesday. Willhite was a step away from the end zone after breaking away for a 29-yard run when safety Joey Browner pulled him down from be hind. His right foot was caught un der his body. “It hurts us an awful lot,” said running back Steve Sewell. “He’s a key player. He does so much on third down.” Quarterback John Elway avoided the scene as Willhite was carried 4!u MSC Cepheid Variable THURSDAY, OCT. 29 presents... FRANKENSTEIN 7:30 P.M.

I can’t stand to see stuff like that,” said Elway. The Broncos quarterback spent most of the game trying to escape Minnesota’s pursuing defense. “Chasing Elway . . . it’s tough,” tackle Keith Millard said. “I would have preferred to do it three weeks from now instead of the first week back after the strike. But we got him pretty good.” The victory means that Minneso ta’s regular players are 3-0. But be cause the replacement players went 0-3 during the strike, the Vikings have only a .500 record. The Bron cos are 3-2-1, including the 2-1 re cord posted by the strike team. The Vikings had just one sack in the first half, when Elway tripped and fell. He completed 14 of 19 first- half passes for 153 yards and led the Broncos to a 17-14 halftime advan tage. “We got the momentum early and got going,” said Elway, who threw one of his two touchdown passes and also ran for a score in the first half. “We were doing some good things. I was happy with the way the offense played.” Expos' Rodgers wins NL Manager of Yea NEW YORK (AP) — Boh “Buck" Rodgers, who guided the Montreal Expos to a surprising third-place finish in the National League East this season, has been named NL Manager of the Year, the Baseball Writers Association of America announced Tuesday. Rodgers, in his third season as manager of the Expos, received 92 points from a 24-rnan commit tee of the BBWAA, easily beating San Francisco’s Roger Craig, the runner-up with 65 points. Rodgers, the only manager named on all ballots, collected 13 first-place votes, eight lor second and three for third. Points were awarded on a 5-3-1 basis. Whitey Herzog, whose St. Louis Cardinals won the NL East and beat the Giants in seven games in the playoffs, was third in the balloting with 54 points. I le had five firsts, six seconds and 1 1 thirds. Davey Johnson of the New York Mcts, with three points, ami Jim Leyland of the Pittsburgh Pi rates, with two, were the only other managers to receive votes. Prior to the 1987 season, Mon treal lost slugging outfielder Andre Dawson to the Chicago Cubs via free agency and traded relief ace Jeff Reardon to the Minnesota Twins. In addition, outfielder Tim Raines, a free agent, did not re-sign with the team until the season was about a month old. But Rodgers kept the Expos in contention until the final clays of the season.
