The coaches - The local writers in lowa City for last Saturday's Penn State-lowalgame still remember Pitt coach Johnny Majors, who coached the lowa State Cyclones in nearby Ames lowa for five years. There were two unanimous impressions. The first is that there is only one team in the country Majors riants:' to coach, and if he's ever offered the job there, it'll be goodbye Pitt or whover he happens to be coaching at the time That school, of-course, is Tennessee, v. here his family awns a football legacy. Johnny's younger brothers Bill and Bobby were both stars at Tennessee. Penn State fans should remember Bobby His two punt returns were a major reason Ten nessee ended a possible National Chamionship bid by'Penn State in the last regular season game of the 1971 season at Knoxville Because of Bobby, it *wasn't even close 31411. But Johnny was 'the best. An All-America tailback at Tennessee on its 10-0, 1956 Sugar Bowl tquad. Majors finished second to Paul Hornung in' the Heisman Trophy balloting that year. The second impression Majors left with the lowa sports press was thtrmotivation that brought him to Pitt. ti') , Pitt vvante Majors, they; said, and they carne courting. prepared to pa for him. For some reaon the figure $75,000 popped up more than once. although no official salary was ever disclosed at Pitt, on the subject of head coaches, Notre Dame students tell a story about Irish coach Ara Parseghian. Parseghian purportedly was standing in the rain during one of his early z ›. Rick Starr Sports Editor games last year when the students began to chant, "Ara stop the rain!" Parseghian turned to an assistant and asked: "Could I?" A few games later Notre Dame was battling it out in the snow Again tlik students started, "Ara stop the snow! Parseghian t rned to an assistant and asked, i "Should I?" A notebook full of tidbits on the Lions. _fullback Tom Donehez was ranked seventh in therountry in total rushing with 285 yards vs. Stanford and Navy. Saturday he managed 57, which puts him at :341 . and tops his rushing marks of last year 1299 and his sophomore season in 1971 ( 2431. Lion coach Joe Paterno always has something nice to say about most of his players. i.e.. "So and so is a fine football player with good strength etc.. etc." once or twice a year Paterno picks out his best men, and then he really opens the flood gates. Just recently. defensive end Greg Murphy and tackle Mike flartenstme were welcomed aboard. :t; "Hartenstine and Murphy are as good as anybody in the x country at their positions," Paterno said. "They rate with ti the best defensive linemen we have ever had" at Penn That's quite atilidorsement. Just ask Mike Reid, Steve Smear, Rosey Grier, Bruce Bannon, Randy Crowder and Dave Robinson. Robinsonlll to NEW YORK (UPI) Frank Robinson will be named playing manager of the Cleveland Indians tomorrow, thereby becoming the first black manager in major league baseball history, it has been learned. ,Robinson's salary will remain at its present $173,000 level, automatically making him the highest-paid manager in the history of baseball. The 40-year-old Robinson, obtained on waivers from the But Perry wants : Gaylord Perry claims he's underpaid, and it is not hard to make a case that he •is. But by tying his salary :•:• demands to the status of Frank Robinson, he could place in jeopardy the chances of success for major league baseball's firt. black manager. The Cleveland Indians, •::: who employ Perry's arm and Robinson's bat, seemingly paved the way for Robinson to make the black manager breakthrough with their an nouncement last week that Ken Aspromonte had been fired as manager. To get Robinson's bat, the Indians agreed to pay the aging superstar an estimated $lBO,OOO next year. - Perry, a veteran like Robinson, makes ••••• a reported $85,000 a year. He says he won't play for the In dians next year unless he makes $lBO,OOl. The 36-year-old Perry made that announcement shortly Franco injured PITTSBURGH.(AP) The Pittsburgh Steelers said yesterday that a sprained ankle will probably keep running back Franco Harris out of the club's National Football League game Sunday in Houston. Harris suffered the injury in the first offensive series of last Sunday's loss to Oakland and missed the rest -of the game. He was limping TV QB's Just a reminder that TV Quarterbacks will feature Jeff Bleamer, Chris Devlin and Lion assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky tonight over WPSX at 7 p.m. (channel . before Aspromonte's exit was announced. He also said he didn't figure he would be with Cleveland next year, depend ing upon who is manager. That was another obvious reference to Robinson, 39, who immediately told Perry he didn't care for all the sudden publicity. According to others on the team, the two nearly tangled in the dressing room. All that presents the Cleveland club with a problem of major proportions. Perry is, at least, a key figure in the club's immediate future, He also is white, and continued opposition on his part to Robinson could con ceivably lead others to take the same position. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that such op position could; torpedo any Cleveland plans to break the managerial racial barrier. One simple solution would be to trade Perry, and there already has been talk about noticeably when he. reported for practice yesterday.. - - If the big fullback is unable to go against the Oilers, Frenchy Fuqua will start in his place, the 'Steelers said. Reserve linebacker Ed Bradley will not playjor the third week Sunday because of a torn muscle in his left foot. Two players who are ex pected back for the trip to Houston after missing the Raiders game are wide receivers Ron Shanklin and Frank Lewis. Shanklin has been nursing a bruised hip while Lewis is recovering from a pulled hamstring muscle. PREGNANT NEED NELP? THE FINEST MEDICAL CARE IN PHILA.

California Angels two and-a-half weeks ago, will continue serving the Indians as a designated hitter as well as manager next year. Some baseball people are inalterably opposed to playing managers in the majors on the theory that any manager has more than enough to do without having to worry about playing, but the Indians don't feel that way at all.

The man who originally signed him for that job, Santurce club owner and president Hiram ,Cuevas, has no doubts whatsoever he will do a good job as a major league manager. "There's no question about his baseball knowledge, and he has shown he can lead men," says Cuevas. "You need the 'same prerequisites to manage in the major leagues as you do to manage in our league."
