ROCHESTER (UPI) - Following
weeks of rumor and speculation,
Michigan Panthers General Manager
Jim Spavital resigned yesterday in or-
der to pursue other professional oppor-
tunities, team officials confirmed.
"This year was just. remenidous with
the Panthers developing into a cham-
pionship caliber team," Spavital said.
"But I feel obligated to pursue some
opportunities that have presented
themselves over the last few months."
ALTHOUGH Spavital did not disucss
specific job opportunities, he is repor-
ted to be considering a business venture
in Oklahoma. Spavital, a native
Oklahoman, came to the Panthers with
years of experience in football.
He played professional football in
three leagues including a stint with the
Baltimore Colts of the National Foot-
ball League. After retiring as a player,
he coached in the high school and
college ranks before becoming an
assistant coach in 1968 with the Saskat-
chewan Roughriders of the CFL.
In 1974, he returned to the U.S. to ser-
ve as coach and general manager of the
Chicago Fire in the World Football
League and then went on to assistant
coach position with the San Francisco
49ers and the CFL Calgary Stam-
peders.
He was general manager of the
Roughriders prior to being appointed to
the Panthers post on Aug. 28, 1982.
Spavital has been credited with
building the Panthers into a champion-
ship squad in the first year of the United
States Football League by bringing key
players, including former Wolverine
Anthony Carter, Northwestern
Louisiana State's Bobby Hebert and
many others into the Michigan
program.
A team spokesman said a
replacement could be named at a
regularly scheduled press meeting on
Monday.

now owns a 9-4 lifetime record against
Detroit. Ladd pitched the ninth for his
20th save.

Milwaukee fourth and rode home on
Cooper's 27th homer, a shot over the
right-field wall on a 2-2 count off Jack
Morris, 18-10. The blast gave Cooper 113
RBI.
Detroit's only run came on a solo
homer in the eighth by Larry Herndon,
his 18th.

cessive time after running off a 10
game winning streak, struck out three
and did not walk a batter. Morris
allowed eight hits.

hits while striking out five and walking
two in his 17th complete game of the
season.

Kemp still in hospital
NEW YORK (AP) - Steve Kemp of
the New York Yankees, who was hit by
teammate Omar Moreno's line drive
during batting practice before Thur-
sday night's game in Milwaukee,
remained in Mt. Sinai Medical Center
in Milwaukee in excellent condition
yesterday and was expected to be there
a few more days.
The 29-year-old outfielder was
removed from the intensive care unit
Thursday night. According to an an-
nouncement by the Yankees, heavy
swelling around Kemp's left eye has
prevented a diagnosis of any possible
injury to the eye. However, the
Yankees said no surgery was indicated
at this time.
Kemp suffered a fractured cheek-
bone, a broken tooth, a chipped tooth
and lacerations around the eye.
