Thursday, August 1, 1974 Sports of The DaIly I Lions train on Ferry Field A bus load of rookies and two veterans posing as the Detroit Lions made an appearance in Ann Arbor yesterday. No they were not here to run the Detroit Wheels of the rival World Football League out of town. Their purpose was to gain a little prior experience on an artificial surface in preparation for the Lions' first exhibition game Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs at the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex. Since Michigan's Ferry Field practice surface was the only available artificial turf around, the club decided to motor the squad into Ann Arbor on an apparent one time only ar- rangement. None of the Lions' coaching staff was on hand for the work- out because funeral services for late Head Coach Don McCafferty were being held concurrently in Maryland. The workout was con- ducted under the auspices of Player Personnel Director Jerry Neri. The only veterans present for the no pads drill were defensive back Rudy Redmond and running back Leon Crosswhite. Quarter- back Greg Landry, who abandoned the National Football League Players Association strike earlier in the week, presumably was also in Maryland for McCafferty's funeral. -ROGER ROSSITER Conover blasts WFL quality HOUSTON W) - Outspoken Rice University rootball coach Al Conover said yesterday that the quality of play in the World Football League was like defacing a work of art. "I can't imagine 26,000 people or 6,000 paying $7, $3.00 or a dime to go out and see that mess," Conover said. Conover said he went to a Houston Texans WFL game recently and left at the half. "It was the worst I've ever seen," Conover said in an interview. "I couldn't believe it. I said, 'what are they doing to my game?' The game of football means a lot to me. "What they're doing is like taking a beautiful picture and and painting something bad on it." Conover also said he thought the Texans were in the wrong town. "They'd do better in some place like San Antonio or El Paso." Corso hires woman aide BLOOMINGTON (P) - Indiana University football coach Lee Corso finally has his female assistant coach. Corso announced last year that he would like to find a quali- fied woman to assist the team in academics and help recruiting efforts. On Wednesday, he annonnced that Mrs. Elisabeth Kurplus, an academic counselor at the school the last three years, had been appointed to the position. "Mrs. Kurpius is highly qualified," Corso said, "and we feel she will add a new dimension to our football program." Cepeda cha-chas to K.C. KANSAS CITY (W) - The Kansas City Royals said Wednesday they have acquired Orlando Cepeda, 36, who has a lifetime bat- ting average of .298 with 378 home runs, from Yucatan of the Mexican League.

Gene "The Stick" Michael of the New York Yankees had to resort to fancy acrobatics to get out of the way of Milwaukee's Don Money, as the American League's best thirdbaseman stole sec- ond with a head-first slide Tuesday night. Quality players make a difference - the Brewers swept a pair from the Yanks.
