I guess it s like the acts and the Yankees. The my won the world championship so right now it s their town. Until the jets win the super bowl again Don t think Well get the respect we  it was always thus.

Thomas can s response to that idea he just laughed Shuler reported. Progress comes in Small doses. For the moment the satisfaction of making life miserable for the giants will have to do for the jets. And it will do quite nicely. There arc a lot of games you la remember a Long time jets coach Joe Walton a former giant Star said. This was one of them. Everybody was pretty emotional.". Mostly it was the veterans players like Shulor and 10-year vet Marty Lyons who enjoyed it most. The Only Way we could get respect was go out and earn i sunday Lyons said. We Are trying to build some thing  if that Means knocking off their neighbors Well that s life. They got the respect too pulling it grudgingly from a crowd that knew the damage a jets Victor would inflict on the giants. Sunday s game was a Home game for the lets.

That gave him five catches for 40 Yards and gave him at least one catch in 79 consecutive games. Maybe someday they la cheer Juls jets " the Bottom line is this is giants country and the giants have never failed to flaunt that fact. In the Early years when the upstart Al Juls put the establishment giants on their mailing list their idlers and literature was resumed unopened. It Wasa mule statement by the nil team on just who was who and what was what. That chanced with the merger when the giants and jets became partners willingly or not. But that was on the surface underneath their rivalry simmered largely because the giants carried themselves with a certain haughtiness an air of superiority even in inc lean years. One thing has changed though. Now the giant open the mail. Mcaa scholarship change questioned by Dale Leach Columbus Ohio a a proposed Mcaa Rule change thai would limit scholarships in so called minor collegiate sports has Stii cd protest among some coaches and concern among women who fear a reversal of gains made by women athlete during the 1970s. "1 think at the very least it s going to cause very great  said Ellen Vargyas of the National women s Law enter. It May subject the Mcaa to Legal liability at Issue is a proposal that would limit Grants in Aid by division 1-a schools lol Ilion fees and books in nil sports other than football men s and women s basketball and two women s sports to be determined. The proposal is currently set to go before delegates to the Nova convention Jan. 8-12 in san Francisco. But said Peter Likins president of be High University and a member of inc Mcaa presidents legislative action committee i m a Long Way from know ing what s going to happen in january it May be necessary to set this aside and put ii before a study  in a Telephone interview last week Likins said the proposal is designed to help member universities save Money help retain current programs and improve  the 1972 title in anti discrimination Law which forced federally funded schools to provide equal Opportunity to female and male athletes. The schools would be prohibited from paying room and Board to athletes in such sports As wrestling and volleyball unless the athletes meet the same Stan Dards of financial need As non athletes. Football and basketball players would still be entitled to scholarships offering tuition fees books and room and Board regardless of their families Finan Cial silk Lions. Women s sports groups and some coaches believe the proposal does the opposite of what Likins intends. They con tend it discriminates against athletes who choose to play sports Oiler than football or basketball and sets aside far More full ride scholarships for men than for women. The athletic directors that we hear from Are women s athletic directors. And they re definitely very concerned said Kathryn Raith a spokeswoman for the women s sports foundation in new York City. Rod o Donnell track coach at Kent state University in Ohio says track and Field coaches also believe the proposal is discriminatory. What you re saying basically is ibis if you have a son who s 5-fool-10, 140 pounds. And your neighbor has a son 6-Fooi-6 and your son has an outstanding cardiovascular system your son can t get a Grant but your neighbor s can o Donnell said. Raith and Vargyas of the women s Law Center Point out that there is no Way the number of Grants available to women could equal those available to men under Likins proposal. That s because the Mcaa per mits division la schools to offer 95 full scholarships in football a sport in which women do not compete. The arithmetic is so simple said Vargyas. No Mailer what other two women s sports you pick you re Proba Bly going to gel 20 or 25 full scholarships. And 2i does not equal 95." Likins acknowledges the disparities but notes that title in docs not necessarily require absolute Equality in the num Ber of scholarships. Me said various court interpretations have placed the required amount of spending on women s scholarships at one third to one half of that spent on men s Grants. But Likins notes most schools do not even meet the one third requirement and that his proposal would bring them a step closer. He also insists his proposal will help the minor sports which would be first to be Cut by universities looking to save Money. Those Are the sports that Are in jeopardy and those arc the sports i m trying to help Likins said. He said wrestling programs have been cancelled at More than 50 Mcaa schools during the past five years one reason wrestling coaches strongly Back the proposal. O Donnell. However believes Likins reasoning is flawed. He said most schools do not now award the maximum number of Grants permitted in each sport and would not Ber fit significantly from the savings. He bases his whole premise on a school that fully finances All of its pro Grams inc Kent coach said the Sav Ings is not going to be what he thinks it s going to be.11.
