Coyle cut
HOUSTON-Ex-Michigan offensive goard Tom Coyle was
handed his walking papers by the Houston Oilers yesterday.
Coyle, who was not drafted in the annual college selections de-
spite his status on the Wolverine line, was a free agent.
Lilly leaves
DALLAS-Veteran all-pro Bob Lilly, the Dallas Cowboys'
all-everything defensive tackle, added more fuel to the fires of
dissension that have raged through the power-packed Cowboys
when he took a leisurely stroll out of the team's training camp.
By doing so, Lilly joined a host of other disgrunted Cowboys
whose numbers are growing steadily by the hour.
Lilly, in a telephone conversation revealed by his wife Ann,
claimed that "the camp was in a confused shambles, morale was
low and he was returning home until training camp conditions
return." According to his wife, Lilly's departure had nothing to
do with his contract.
Burke sued
NEW YORK-Mike Burke, former president of the New York
Yankees, yesterday was among defendants in a suit alleging
conspiracy in the Columbia Broadcasting System's sale of the
baseball team to a syndicate headed by Burke.
The suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on behalf of
Doris J. Bachman, a CBS stockholder, charged that the CBS
board of directors conspired with Burke and his syndicate to
sell the Yankees "for an inadequate price."
The suit seeks an accounting for all profits made by the
syndicate and any losses and damages sustained by CBS.
All-Stars named
CHICAGO-Dick Allen, plagued by a crippling leg injury, will
start at first base for the American League All-Stars in results
of fan voting revealed yesterday. Rod Carew of the Twins will
play second, Brooks Robinson will start at third, and outfielders
Reggie Jackson of Oakland, Bobby Murcer of New York, and
Amost Otis of KC will trot out as well. Oakland shortstop Bert
Campeneris and Carlton Fisk, catcher, will join Otis as a first
time starter.
If Allen is unable to play, KC's slugging John Mayberry will
most likely get the nod.
Bubba goes West
BALTIMORE-The Baltimore Colts traded defensive end
Bubba Smith to the Oakland Raiders yesterday for tight end
Raymond Chester.
"We had a chance to get possibly the best tight end in all
football," Baltimore General Manager Joe Thomas said. "And
we had to give up a good football pla-yer."
