GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP)-Police
Chief James Maples said-yesterday lab
tests have confirmed that cocaine was
the substance planted on the car of a
California sports writer who came here
to interview football star Ken Stabler.
Maples said a report from state
toxicologist Jim Small of Mobile says
an analysis "reveals the presence of
cocaine" in the powdery substance
found Jan. 22.
He said an investigation is continuing
and there have been no arrests.
THE REPORT from the toxicologist
did not say how much cocaine was in-
volved. Earlier police reports said there
was "about an ounce" of a powdery
substance in the packet found on the car
of Sacramento Bee sports writer Bob
Padecky.
Police arrested Padecky after finding
the substance but a short time later
dropped any charges. Maples said it
was determined that the cocaine ap-,
parently had been planted on
Padecky's car in an attempted frame-
up.
Stabler, the quarterback for the
Oakland Raiders, said he knew nothing
about the apparent frame-up and that
the episode was embarrassing to him.
Padecky's arrest occurred as the sports
writer left one Gulf Shores lounge to
resume the interview with Stabler at
another location.
Police said the sports writer's car
was stopped and the arrest was made
because the police department had
received two anonymous telephone tips
saying cocaine was on the car.

ne Huskies nave beaten Micnigan the
last seven times, including a pair of 4-2
victories at Yost Arena last November.
Last season Tech whipped the
Wolverines all five times, four in the
WCHA regular season and once in the
Great Lakes Tournament. It is an event
the Huskies virtually own, having won
it three of the last four years.
Farrell scoffed at the idea of a jinx,
instead attributing the last five losses to
Tech's superb sophomore goaltender
John Rockwell. "The difference has
been the goaltending,'' explained
Farrell. "I thought we outplayed them
the last five time but that guy (Rock-
well) has just shut the door on us.
"I don't think he gave us one rebound
when we played them earlier in the
year. He's definitely one of the best
goalies in our league."
Michigan Tech coach John MacInnes
concurred. "I'd have to agree with Dan
on that," he said. "I thought it was a
super series for both teams when we
played down there and no doubt about
it, we wouldn't have won both games if
it wasn't for Rockwell."

[e finished of WCHA play, feels his team has come-
he league along almost as well as expected. "At
venth spot the beginning of the season I thought
fourth place would be the best we could
end series hope for," he said. "We had a couple of
narrowly bad series (when Rockwell was in-
frr><?} jured) and that's hurt our goal a little."
Meanwhile, back on the home front,
the Wolverines will head into Houghton
deadlocked for last place with Michigan
State. Both teams are 6-16 on the year
and seven points out of the eighth and
ies for final playoff spot. But Farrell is op-
played timistic.
"Since that 3-0 loss to Minnesota a
oubt, few weeks ago, Ithought we've played
n both damn well," he said. "Having (Dan)
Lerg back has of course really helped,
r Roth- but I think all our young kids are star-
ting to play with more confidence now."
Lerg's strained knee has healed
aclnnes fairly well and his presence in the
lineup has indeed made a world of dif
ference. Lerg scored four goals and had
four assists in last weekend's en-
