not through yet

Cannon," insists he has not fired his last home run shot in the
big eagues.
The 35-year-old outfielder, a veteran of 13 years in the
majors, hit home run No. 291 on his first trip to the plate this
sealon. He spent 76 more at-bats seeking No. 292 and Monday
night the New York Yankees got tired of waiting.
"This is the part I hate about being a manager," Billy
Martin said after the Yankees put Wynn in the "designated for
assignment" category, meaning he will be released after 10
days if there are no takers.
"Gabe ,(Club President Gabe Paul) and George (owner
treorge Steinbrenner) felt he wasn't helping the club," Martin
said of Wynn, who was in a 1-for-44 slump when he got the axe

Crum turns down UCLA
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)-University
of Louisville basketball Coach Denny
Crum said yesterday he has rejected the
top coaching job at UCLA, his alma
mater•,, and will remain here to keep his
club "among the best in the nation."
"This decision was probably the
toughest professional decision I've ever
had to make," Crum told a news con
ference. "When your alma mater calls,
it's not an easy thing to say no."
Declining to answer questions, Crum
said he was motivated by feelings and
concern for his family, his love for the
university, "but most of all my love for
the people and fans of Louisville."
Athletic Director Dave - Hart said
Crum, now in the third year of a five
year contract, did not use the UCLA

offer "ffir bargaining power or personal

"It doesn't mean that I wouldn't
renegotiate his contract if need be, but
we didn't," Hart said. He declined to
give Crum's salary, but it is believed to
be around $35,000 a year. He also earns
several thousand dollars a year through
television commercials and personal
appearances. ,
At ' UCLA, Athletic Director J.D.
Morgan issued a statement which made
no mention of an offer to Crum.
"Denny was a seriously considered
candidate for the position as head
basketball coach at UCLA," the
statement said. "We have interviewed
other candidates and will consider
others."

The Daily Collegian Wednesday, July 6, 1977-
Reading from a hand-written
statement, Crum opened the session by
referring to "derogatory remarks made
about our recruiting."
There have, been published reports
that the 40-year-old coach failed to at
tract blue-ribbon high school stars this
year
"No program in the United States,
including UCLA, ever gets all the
players they recruit," Crum asserted.
"The derogatory remarks as to the
quality of players we have recruited this
year are way out of line."
Crum said he was happy with the
players that Louisville has signed, add
ing "we feel that we will have a
basketball team next year that win de
competitive."
