Sunday Cna May have to drop some sports writer Darmstadt Germany Whis pers have been surfacing in the dutch canals of late lending to speculation that amp new Amsterdam would be shelving participation in the Continental sports conference. It s like in Clasi when the teacher whispers something in one person s ear and by the time it has gone around the class an entirely different Story ends up being told said John Anderson Theca chief of recreational services. What Anderson and the rest of the management team at Cna Are doing i looking at some sports thai Aren t particularly Revenue enhancers and making abase by Case decision for each. It s be coming increasingly difficult for Ander son and others in the morale welfare and recreation offices around Europe to rationalize the Worth of a full slate of varsity sports. Let s face it some of the learns we Veblen Fielding Are borderline recreational Analy and they Aren t doing too Well in the some of them we re really just a Token member of he Anderson said. We have Only one real Revenue pro Ducer Here and that s the bawling Center. It just makes Good management sense Totake an across the Board look at these teams and decide which ones to specifically Anderson said the sport that May get the Hook Are Bowling slow pitch softball volleyball and soccer. Of those soccer May have the Best Chance of sticking around. We re nol arbitrarily culling outport. Well take a look it each one As the season comes up Anderson re certainly going to consider How dedicated the athletes Are. Well get to Gether with the people who have an in Terest in the team explain our predicament and negotiate As to what they re willing to do to help us out. That s just the Cost of doing thai does t mean budding athletes Are going to get the cold shoulder and empty Wallet from Anderson and his mar cohorts if someone is an outstanding athlete and they have the potential to move on to the Csc or Safe level then we blend up fun cling Money from some of the marginal performers thai we have been financing to support these Aren t going to stand by and watch an excellent athlete suffer Anderson said. Money s the common denominator i everything Anderson talks about and in s something he warns Oiher mar people to be looking for Down the Road. All he bases Are going to have to take took Ai this soon. Irs like the Csc baseball teams. An overwhelming num Ber of the bases said they just could support baseball Anderson said. Sports not being considered for the cna21-gun Salute at this time Are fast pitch softball basketball and tackle football. That May sound contradictory keep ing football when Cna had a is game losing Streak going into inc season final against ton Jpn. They broke that by up setting the raiders for inc Only Cna Vic tory of the season. Bui the Cna football record Only shows worn and losses with the l Side weighted Down like a see saw with Wil Liam Perry on one end and Mary Lou Relton on the other. It does i take int account some intangibles like being a new team close games fan support and that biggest intangible of All. Dollars. Anderson in a motivational speech thai the Indianapolis Colls May want loopy before next year s season ticket safes said you have to remember this football team is Only 2 years old in Csc. In a league like that you re to walk in and become a Power right away. We were within a touchdown of winning most of the games this year. Not Only that but football builds morale and is a source of Pride Here. I keeps people coming in the Gate and football Here is a break even propose decision on Mcmahon future 6 months off 1nolewood, Calif. A Jim Mcmahon underwent two hours of shoulder surgery Friday and the doctor who performed the operation said the Chicago bears quarterback won t know until summer whether he ii be Able to play football again.

Frank Jobe said at cent Inela Hospital you can t say a surgery is successful until you see whether the result you want is accomplished so we won t be Able to answer Fiat question until Jobe said that in addition to trimming some of the rotator cull in Mcmahon Sright shoulder it was necessary to re construct the front of the shoulder. The doctor said that while using the arthroscope to rim the rotator cuff the surgeons found. The shoulder was quite unstable nod slipped out in front so that it was our judgment that he would nol be Able to play with Ibe shoulder the Way in is now. So we made an incision and reconstructed the front of the Jobe added the prognosis is really unknown because people who throw need almost perfect shoulders and Phenil s nol perfect in one Way or another particularly unstable the rotator cuff bad they do not do Mcmahon 27, has been hampered by his injured shoulder most of the season.
