(') -- Greg Landry, unheralded qcarterback from Massachusetts, will duel college football's 1967 glamour boy, Gary Beban, in the Coaches All-American football game to- night. Landry, rangy running and passing whiz almost unknown outside of New England, will direct the East with pass-catch- ing ace Dennis Homan of Ala- bama expected to be his prime passing target. Beban, Heisman Trophy win- ner from UCLA, will quarter- back the West, ranked as , a touchdown favorite going into the nationally televised game. The battle will be telecast by ABC, starting at 8:30 p.m. EDT. A crowd of about 30,000 is ex- pected. Both West Coach Dee Andros of Oregon State and East Coach' John Pont of Indiana plan to give their players plenty of rest,j although cool temperatures are predicted. "We'll try to play everybody," Pont said. - Beban, who has not been im- pressive in practice, will be backed up in the game by Billy Stevens of Texas-El Paso. Alternating daily sport~s NIGHT EDITOR: PHIL BROWN at quarterback for the East will be Georgia Tech southpaw Kim King. Landry, headed for a pro test with the Detroit Lions, hit on three of eleven passes for 99 yards in last winter's North - South game at Miami, his only previous All-Star test. Beban, who has signed with the Washington Redskins, said his passing arm has been a little rusty in practice. But the versa- tile Bruin promised "to have the adrenalin flowing" for the game. The UCLA standout will be throwing to Phil Odle of Brig- ham Young, Charles Sanders of Minnesota and Tulsa's. Rick Eber, who caught 78 passes last fall. Running assignments for the West will be handled by Ron Shotts of Oklahoma and Charlie Smith of Utah, with explosive Max Anderson of Arizona State counted on for spot assignments. The East will call on burly Lar- ry Csonka of Syracuse and elusive Walter Chadwick of Tennessee for ball-carrying duties, with Aaron Marsh of -Eastern Ken- tucky, John Eason of Florida A& M and Freddie Hyatt of Auburn! sharing pass-catching chores with Homan. Both clubs may have trouble moving the ball against the de- fensive standouts picked for the game.

Lewis of Mississippi State and backs Frank Loria of Virginia Tech and Tom Schoen of Notre Dame S heading up the secondary. Both Andros and Pont said the lack of practice time could ham- per their attacks. "We'll do a lot of passing- we'll have to against the East deefnse," Andros said. The East leads the series, 4-3, and won last year 12-9. , I Pro gridders threaten strike PHILADELPHIA (P)-National Football League players have voted to strike unless club owners grant their demands for increased exhibition game pay, a higher minimum salary and an improved pension plan, The "Associated Press learned yesterday. It was learned that all 640 NFL players were polled by telephone and that a vast majority approved a strike. It also was learned that an Major League Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE W L ;PCt, G3 St. Louis 45 28 616 Atlanta 38 34 .528 1 San Francisco 39 35 .527 I Los Angeles 38 37 .507 1 Philadelphia 33 333 .500 Cincinnati 35 36 .493 9 New York 35 36 .493 9 Pittsburgh 33 36 .478 10 Chicago 31 40 .437 13 Houston 30 42 .417 14 Yesterday's Results Los Angeles 6, San Francisco 11 innings New York 3, Houston 1 Atlanta 4, Philadelphia 3 Only games scheduled Today's Games Cincinnati at San Francisco St. Louis at Chicago Pittsburgh at Philadelphia, night New Yorak at Houston, night Atlanta at Los Angeles, night GB 14 5' emergency meeting between rep- resentatives of the Players' Asso-j ciation and an owner delegation was scheduled for today in Detroit. John Gordy of the Detroit Lions, president of the association, and vice president King Hill, Phil- adelphia Eagles quarterback, re- portedly led the association dele- gation. Owner Art Modell of the Cleve-1 land Browns is the chief spokes-1 man for the owners. The association not only took a strike vote but also wrote to Rep. Emmanuel Celler, (D-N.YJ, requesting that the congressman check alleged inequities in the players' financial situation as a result of the pro football merger. Celler reportedly replied to the association letter. He allegedly promised to look into the situa- tion and to reopen congressional, hearings on the football merger if it violated any trust law. The players wrote Celler that pro football commissioner Petej Rozelle had promised the merger would benefit the health and welfare of the players. They reportedly contended that Modell has contradicted Rozelle's statement. The Cleveland owner reportedly said that if the current player demands were met it would jeopardize the merger. Earlier, Hill was quoted in a newspaper story as saying, "I think we've made it evident we can carry out a strike if neces- sary." SECOND TIME: Hill discussed from his Houston home the worst labor crisis in the history of the NFL. The owners and the Players Association ap-, parently have reached an impasse over association demands. Among other things the players are ask- ing $500 each for an exhibition game, $100,000 from each club in the pension plan and a $15,000 minimum salary. - The owners reportedly would try to field teams of their rookies and farmhands if the association struck. Hill said of this, "I don't think the young players would go through with it. There are 640 of us and they'll have to play against us some day. Anyway, we're doing this for them, too." Hill said the association is ready for give-and-take negotia- BULLETIN LOS ANGELES (4) - Michi- gan's Ron Kutschinski was in- cluded in a list released yes- terday of 16 athletes who will be allowed to attend the final U.S. Olympic trials at Lake Ta- hoe despite not having pre- viously qualified. All of the track stars were prevented from qualifying by illness or injuries. Kutschinski, who recorded, the world's fastest half mile of the year three weeks ago, .was spiked in a' preliminary heat at the NCAA championship meet and failed to place. tions. "We don't feel that every rookie on the squad should get $500 for an exhibition," he said. "There could be some kind of scale. But the way things go, it's the veterans, not the rookies, who play in these exhibitions." Hill broke his hand last Aug. 12 in an exhibition game against the Minnesota Vikings and didn't play for two months. That was for the $10 a day the NFL pays in train- ing season. The owners have agreed to raise the minimum salary to $10,000. Hill says this is meaningless since nobody is making less than $12,000 now. "That was the figure agreed upon when the leagues merged. 'And something must be done about our pension plan, which is about one-third that of baseball. Most veteran players without carryover contracts have not been signed by NFL teams. Hill, said of this, "that's going to be a prob- lem. Let's say we have only three or four days to negotiate our con- tracts. That puts a lot of pressure on us. And I hear there are 30 Eagles unsigned." " Hill said he believes both sides have been afraid of losing face. "Well, we're willing to make the first move. We'll exhaust every possibility before we do something drastic. We know a strike could hurt football. After all, we're foot- ball people not labor people. It's tough getting in shape running up and down these hotel corridors." eturn :,_ ,. AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pct. GB Detroit 46 26 .639 - Minnesota 37 33 .529 8 Baltimore 36 33 .522 8?
