Nov. 1. He succeeds Cliff Speegle, who
plans to retire Feb. 1 after nine years in

"I FEEL like in joining the Southwest

join one of the outstanding, premier
conferences in the country," Jacoby
said.
A member of the selection commit-
tee, George Johnson of the University

49ers sign Montana
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)- Joe Mon-
tana, who quarterbacked the surprising
San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl
championship, has signed a series of
four one-year-contracts with an option
for a fifth, the National Football League
club announced yesterday.
"That means he'll be with the 49ers at
least through 1986," said team
spokesman George Heddleston, who
said he could not comment on the size of
the contract.
NEWS REPORTS have speculated
that Montana might receive about $2
million over four years, but a
knowledgeable source described that as
"a little high."
Montana already was under contract
for two years, but the new agreements
will supercede the old contracts.
Montana, in his third NFL season and
his second as a starter, was the top-
rated passer in the National Conference
with an 88.2 league rating.
Greg Landry waived
BALTIMORE (AP)- Greg Landry,
the Baltimore Colts' backup quarter-
back who has seen little action during
the last two seasons, was released
yesterday, the National Football
League team announced.
The Colts gave no reason for the
decision to place Landry on waivers.
A 14-year NFL veteran, Landry has
played the last three seasons with the
Baltimore team after spending his first
11 as a Detroit Lion.
If he is not picked up by another team
within 24 hours, Landry will become a
free agent.
Landry has thrown almost 2,300
passes in the NFL, but only 76 the last
two years as a Colt.

GRAND RAPIDS (UPI)- Melvin McLaughlin, Central
Michigan University's virtuoso senior guard, was stunned
last week to find an article in his home town newspaper
detailing theft charges that were never filed against him.
Even worse, the story was picked up by wire services and
carried throughout the state.
BUT THINGS have calmed down now and McLaughlin, the
Mid-America Conference Basketball Player of the Year last
season, isn't quite as upset as he was last Saturday, when he
awoke to a Grand Rapids Press story linking him to the theft
of a color television.
As McLaughlin tells the story, he had been to a party with
CMU teammate Anthony Scott and team manager Anthony
Haskins on Saturday, July 10.
"I was outside helping a guy find his keys when it started to
rain," he said. "Everybody decided that it was time to go. I
got into the car and I saw Anthony Scott run out and put a
television in the trunk.
"I ASKED HIM 'what did you do?' He said he was taking a
TV and I said 'Won't you take it back,' and he said no, so I
told them to drop me off because I didn't want to be a part of
it."
Scott was caught and charged the next day, McLaughlin
said, and was sentenced to a $100 fine and nine months
suspension on Friday, July 16. Haskins, who drove the car,
paid half of the fine.
McLaughlin was named on the original warrant but was
not included in any of the court proceedings because he had
been cleared beforehand.
"I WAS REALLY down about it because I couldn't under-
stand why they would single me out in this incident," said
McLaughlin, who led the Mid-America Conference in scoring
and took 9th place nationally with a 23.2 average.
"I'm just glad that I could get it retracted and the people of
Grand Rapids can see that I'm innocent and hopefully it
won't affect me in the long run."
