Football fans live through first Sunday News digest
By BARRY WILNER
AP Sports Writer
What does a pro football fan do on
the Tint No NFL Sunday of the
Plenty.
While the players’ strike victimised
the third weekend of the NFL sche-
dule, 'he people who would have been
in the seats at the stadiums or in front
of their televisions didn't lack for
entertainment.
Some went u> the ballparks, anyway
— to return tickets for Sunday’s game,
or to party.
"h’s going to be a long year without
football, but what are you going to
do?” asked Ray Stoney of New
Hudson, Mich., who was bringing
back eight tickets far the Lions-Bears
game.
About 200 Steclcn fans decided to
Deaths
have a tailgate picnic at Three Riven
Stadium.
‘‘Just because there was a football
strike didn’t mean everybody couldn't
go out and tailgate anyway,” said
Mike Watkins, operations manager of
KDKA Radio, which sponsored the
event.
Several hundred New York Jets
fans enjoyed themselves at a picnic
with two dozen team members, who
signed autographs, talked football and
had a barbecue.
"I feel the players have to stick
together.” said Nick Valenze of
Mineola, N.Y. "I’m glad to see most
are abiding by the strike.
Many fans showed they still care
about their teams despite being robbed
of one-sixteenth of the season.
In Falls Church, Va., a radio station
sponsored a “Skinless Sunday Party”
at a restaurant.
“h’s an excuse for Redskins fans to
get together and pretend there's foot-
ball on,” said Wendy Naylor of
WCXR-FM, the host of the party.
Redskins highlight films and a picket
sign contest was held.
"Thiii just doesn’t cut it,” Joe
Uzabel of Amandale, Va., said of the
festivities.
At RFK Stadium, which has been
sold out for an NFL-record 159
straight games and would have been
full for Sunday’s game between the
Redskins and the Patriots, it was eerily
silent.
Some fans actually got into an NFL
stadium Sunday. Supporters of the
Super Bowl champion Giants were
given tours of Joe Robbie Stadium for
$4 apiece. The Giants were scheduled
to play in the regular-season debut of
the league’s newest ballpark, and
about 60 of their fans traveled to the
Miami area despite the strike because
they couldn’t get refunds.
Another sport did benefit from the
absence of football at the stadium.
Nearby Calder Race Course offered
free admission to anyone showing a
ticket for the Gianls-Dolphins game.
A crowd of 10,447, including 188 who
got in free with their football tickets,
was almost 2,000 higher than last
Sunday’s attendance, when the
Dolphins were on television from
Indianapolis.
Then there were those who were
lost on No NFL Sunday.
"I’m a football fan,” Chuck
Melvin of Romepville, 111., said.
“Sunday was my football day. Now, I
guess I’ll just have to cut the grass.’

Close call
explained
NEW YORK (AP) — A twin-
engine plane came within several
hundred feet of President Reagan's
helicopter because of communication
problems at an air traffic control
tower, a newspaper reported today.
The close call came Sept. 21 near
the Statue of Liberty as Reagan was
flying to Air Force One at Newark
(N.J.) International Airport after
addressing the United Nations, the
New York Post reported.
Reagan's helicopter was at an alti-
tude of about 500 feet either ovet
Newark Bay or the New Jersey Turn-
pike when the private Beechcraft
trying to land came within several
hundred feet, the paper said.
"The airplane is almost on top of
us!” the president's Marine pilot
desperately tried to tell the control
tower, according to an unidentified
source quoted by the paper.
But controllers could not hear the
pilot because they weren’t monitoring
the right frequency. The pilot finally
reached the tower on a regular, unsec-
ured frequency, the source said.
The problem stemmed from a
“breakdown in communications”
between air traffic controllers in
Newark, said Rep. Guy Molinari,
R-N.Y.
“For 15 to 20 seconds, frequency
contact was lost altogether,” accord-
ing to Molinari, who the newspaper
said confirmed the report after check-
ing with Federal Aviation Administra-
tion chief Allan McArtor.
A White House spokesman told the
newspaper the incident involved a
helicopter carrying Secret Service and
White House staff, not the president.
There were four helicopters in the
presidential entourage.

truck accident that occurred Yt south of

TULSA (AP) — Tulsa Community
Treatment Center had 30 to 60 vacant,
beds while the Oklahoma Corrections
Department was releasing hundreds of
prisoners because of overcrowding
elsewhere, Oklahoma Department of
Corrections officials told a Tulsa
newspaper.
The Tulsa Community Treatment
Center, a work-release institution that
allows convicted prisoners to be inte-
grated into the community while
remaining under institutional supervi-
sion, had 78 residents Thursday, 56
below its capacity, corrections offi-
cials said.
The Tulsa center has had at least 50
empty beds for about two months and
about 30 empty beds for four months,
TCTC Superintendent H.N. “Sonny”
Scott said.
The Tulsa World reported the
vacancies in its Monday issue.
On Aug. 11, 140 prisoners in the
state penal system were released when
prison overcrowding allowed the pris-
on cap law to go into effect for the 20th
time since 1984.
Another 93 prisoners were released
Friday after their sentences were
commuted by Gov. Henry Bellman
because of prison overcrowd ing. In
August, Bellmon commuted the sen-
tences of 137 other prisoners.
But Scott and corrections depart-
ment spokesman Jerry Massie said the
nearly half-empty center could not be
used to prevent the high number of
prison releases because of rules
regarding the type of prisoners allow-
ed into the Tulsa facility.
“I guarantee you, if we had eligible
inmates, we’d have that place filled
up,” Massie said.
Statewide, some community treat-
ment centers run closer to their capaci-
ty than others, Massie said. But
records Thursday showed the Tulsa
facility had more vacancies than the
other seven community treatment
centers combined
Entry restrictions vary from center
to center, Scott said. He described the
Tulsa center’s regulations u some of
the most restrictive in the system.
To be eligible for treatment at the
Tulsa center, a prisoner must be a first
lime offend-er, convicted of a non-
violent crime and sen tenced to no
more than four years, Scott said
Good thinking
on both sides
How can bridge be exciting and
frustrating at the same time? Florida
expert Bernie Chazen will likely give
you today's deal as an example After
North-South had reached five dia-
monds. West led the 10 of hearts. Cha-
zen, sitting East, won the ace and plot-
ted his next defensive move.
If declarer did not have solid dia-
monds, he might also be missing the
queen of spades Even with solid dia-
monds, declarer might just have a
hole in the club suit. And if declarer
was going to misguess the location of
the club queen, it was necessary that
the defenders have a spade trick es-
tablished by that time. So with no as-
surance that it was right, Bernie Cha-
zen dared to lead a spade right into the
teeth of dummy’s A-J-9-4 at trick two.
That was the excitement - his part-
ner had the spade queen. Now just let
declarer play a club to the 10, and
West would grab the queen and lead
back a spade to set the contract. But
then came the frustration.
Since South had not fallen asleep, he
had no trouble figuring out what had
been going through Bernie’s head. Al-
though he did not know who held the
club queen, he was certain that East
had led away from the spade king. Af-
ter ruffing a heart and drawing
trumps, he played a spade to the nine.
East could win the 10, but any return
he now made would give declarer his
contract.
