(AP) The New York Yankees' managerial merry-go-round took another sudden turn yesterday when the Anierican League champions an nounced at baseball's winter meetings that Gene Mi chael would return as the club's pilot for three years, beginning in 1983. The latest twist in the continuing Yankees' soap opera ro came after Cleveland sent outfielder Jorge Orta and two minor leaguers to Los Angeles for pitcher Rick Sutcliffe and second baseman Jack Perconte. • Meanwhile, commissioner Bowie Kuhn took a day off from the meetings to testify in Washington at a congres sional hearing on cable television. The Yankees held center stage at the meetings, announcing that Michael would succeed Bob Lemon, who will handle the club for 1982 before moving on to other duties in the organization. The Yankees' managerial shuffle was settled after owner George Steinbrenner granted Lemon's wish to manage the team for one more year. Lemon has twice served as a relief manager for Steinbrenner, t a king over in July 1978 and leading the club to the world championship, then relieving Michael last Sept. 6 and taking the club to the World Series again. "I want to know if I can go,nine," joked Lemon. "And George wants to know if'l can go nine. I have very few complete games. I'm the Goose Gossage of the manage rs.,, Once'Steinbrenner agreed to give Lemon the Yankees for 1982, the owner turned to Michael, who still had two years left on his contract. The two agreed to a two-year extension of that deal and Michael will spend 1982 as a scout before returning to the dugout in 1983 and for two more years. Michael was asked why he thought he could get along with Steinbrenner now after being fired by the Yankees' boss only three months ago. "I'm smarter now," he said. "I've learned you can't say some of the things I've said and not have prob lems." Michael had positioned himself for the axe last summer when he complained publicly about Steinbren ner's repeated threats to fire him and refused to apologize to the owner for the outburst. "I know we've got some problems, but a. think that's over and I don't see any major problems again except winning," he said.

Alien St. Rear Hrs. Mon-Thurs 8-6:30 pm Fri 8-3:30 pm Michael said he had not diicussed a return to manag ing with Steinbrenner until Tuesday, after the decision had been made on Lemon. "He told me what he had in mind," Michael said. "He has a pretty strong mind." , Michael was asked what it was like to work for Steinbrenner. "He's tough. We all know that. He wants to win and that's great for New York," he said. Michael becomes the third manager to be fired, then rehired by Steinbrenner. Billy Martin and Lemon also have had encores in the Yankees' dugout and the club has had six managers in the nine yea - rs that Steinbren ner has been principal owner. "I knew I was back in'the family when he woke me at a.m. and said, 'Get out of bed,' " Michael said with a laugh. "That's when I knew I was back." While the Yankees' dugout soap opera continued, Cleveland and Los Angeles negotiated an intriguing five-player swap. The Indians sent Orta, who batted .272 last season, along with two minor leaguers, catcher Jack Fimple and pitcher Larry White, to the Dodgers for Sutcliffe, the 1979 National League Rookie of the Year, and Perconte, a promising second baseman. Fimple batted .288 at Waterloo and White was 10-12 with a 3.51 earned run average at Chattanooga last season. Perconte batted .346 with Albuquerque and Sutcliffe, a 17-game winner in 1979, struggled to a 2-2 record in 14 games with the Dodgers last season. When the Dodgers dropped Sutcliffe, a 6-6, 225-pound right-hander, from their list of eligible players for the playoffs and World Series, he got into an bitter argu ment with manager Tom Lasorda and reportedly broke some furniture in the clubhouse. Dave Garcia, manager of the Indians, took note of that, saying, "I don't know him, but I know I'm not gonna talk back to him." Preliminary major league joint meetings got under way after the closing session of the minor league meetings. On the agenda were discussions of three division play and revenue sharing, among other items. In another trade, Oakland swapped pitcher Rich Bordi to the Seattle. Mariners for third baseman-out fielder Dan Meyer. Bordi spent 1981 at Tacoma where he was 9-11 with a 3.68 ERA. Meyer batted .252 with three home runs and 22 runs batted in for the Mariners. The Chicago Cubs traded outfielder Jim Tracy to Houston for outfielder Gary Woods. Tracy batted .239 for Chicago and Woods hit .209 for the Astros last season. Both players were assigned to the minor leagues. The Cubs also designated for assignment outfielders Mike Lum and Jim Tracy and second baseman Steve Dillard. The Cubs had been over the 40- man limit after completing a five-player trade with Philadelphia and signing free agent pitchers Bill Camp bell and Ferguson Jenkins on Tuesday. St. Louis acquired two veteran pitchers with major league experience from the Mexican League. Eric Rasmussen and Vicente Romo were both assigned to the Cardinals' glass AAA affiliate at Louisville. In another minor transaction, the Yankees acquired catcher Mike Lebo from Toronto, completing a ,deal which last month sent third baseman AiFell° Rodriguez from New York to the Blue Jays. `fe ; 4 r:>~u:. .. Sw, ~,. Bob Lemon CFA-NCAA fight reaches the court OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The next round in the television dispute between the National Collegiate Ath letic Association and the College Football Association will be held in federal court here today. The latest issue involves a request by attorneys for the University of Oklahoma and the University of Georgia Athletic Association to cer tify the other 59 members of the CFA as parties to their suit against the NCAA. Andy Coats of Oklahoma City, an attorney for OU and Georgia, said the class action request, if granted, would give the other schools the same protection as that provided by the court to OU and Georgia. OU and Georgia filed suit against the NCAA, asking a ruling on who owns the property rights to televised college football games, and seeking protection if the CFA schools decid ed to go through with a football television contract with NBC. After a hearing in October, federal judge Luther Eubanks issued a tem porary restraining order, barring the NCAA from making any threats or taking disciplinary action against OU and Georgia while ther suit is pending. AP Lasorphoto "If this is certifed as a class action case, the other schools would be eligible for the same protection as OU and Georgia," Coats said. Some CFA officials believe such a ruling would give its members a greater sense of security if they should decide to go through with the four-year, $lBO million contract with NBC, and they must make that deci sion by next Monday.

The Daily Collegian Thursday, Dec. 10, 1981-1 "I suppose it might, but not much," said' Coats, "because the protection would evaporate if we don't win the suit." James D. Fellers of Oklahoma City, one of the NCAA's attorneys, said the NCAA will oppose the class action request on several grounds, including that they do not know how many of the other CFA schools real ly have the same contentions and grievances as OU and Georgia. "We think the class action request is a little premature," Fellers said. The CFA board has voted to help finance the suit. Asked if he thought the CFA sought a ruling now because of the imminent decision on the NBC con tract, Fellers said, "I think you've got it figured out pretty well." Penn State football coach and ath letic director Joe Paterno has been a central figure in the creation of the CFA. The CFA ratified the TV contract with NBC in September, but gave its members a chance to opt out of the contract. Two previous deadlines were extended, but the new deadline of Dec. 14 was announced after the conclusion of an NCAA special con vention in St. Louis last week. Dr. William Banowsky, the OU president, said at that time OU would stick with NBC if only nine other schools would do the same, including the University of Texas and one Big Eight member. Coats said several other CFA schools want to intervene in the suit, but we suggested "it might be better to let us seek a class action certifica tion." 31Nba.3*g : bo ‘ Vgboif 1 ;.& i lzhibg i : Balfour House
