sports Giles fires Felske, names Elia Phi's' new manager r , John Felske Conference will deal with women By LEW BOSCO Collegian Sports Writer It wasn't too long ago when the idea of women doing activities that were considered "male-oriented" was about as popular as the Pitt football team is in Happy Valley. Times have progressed since then, however, and as we roll closer and closer to the 21st Century, more and more women are making their pres ence felt in the athletic world, and finally getting the attention they de serve. . The accomplishments of female athletes such as Debbie Thomas and Mary Lou Retton have opened the door to many of our nation's young females. But it is often hard for women ages five to 18 to draw atten tion to themselves unless they per form some amazing feat. This weekend there is a conference that hopes to open the nation's eyes a little wider to these young, but tal ented women. It is titled New Agenda II: A Sporting Chance for Girls, and is being held at the Indiana Conven tion Center in Indianapolis, today through Sunday. The main focus of the conference will be the lack of funding and oppor tunity for girls, ages 5-18, to partici pate in sports, and the state of girls in the sportsworld today. Its main objective is to create more chances for those involved with sports at the high school level, and create a forum for new research at the psychqlogical and physiological levels. Nina Dobris, one of the promoters for the conference, said the confer ence will act as a sports resource kit, and will help teach girls to establish themselves and build their confi dence in the sports they participate in. Over 500 representatives from across the country will attend the three-day event, and there will be a number of guest speakers and pre sentations. Among the guest speakers will be Barbie Myers, a professor in Exercise and Sports Science at Penn State. Myers will give a 30-minute lecture Soviets may skip Seoul By ANDREW KATELL Associated Press Writer MOSCOW A Soviet television commentator suggested yesterday that the 1988 Seoul Olympics could not take place if the unrest in South Korea continues.

"I didn't come back to coaching as a stepping stone to managing. I've been on both ends of this," said Elia, 49, who managed the Chicago Cubs for little more than a year before his own firing in August 1983, then re joined the Phillies organization. "This is very emotional. I had a strong relationship with Felske," he added. "This is never an easy situa tion." Felske, 45, had a 190-194 record in his two years with the club and anoth er year on his contract. The club finished fifth his first year and last in sports Mary Lou Retton dealing with the relationship between nutrition and athletics, and how calci um and iron in the diet are related. She is looking forward to the experi ence. "I am very excited about being a part of it," Myers said. "There will be experts from all over the country participating, and it should really be a state of the art presentation." "The psychological and physiolog ical aspects that will be dealt with is a unique approach," she added, "be cause it is the first time the topic will gain national coverage." Among some of the other people who will be making presentations are three women who competed on the 1984 U.S. Olympic team. Star gym nast Julianne McNamara; swimmer Nancy Hogshead; and basketball player Lynette Woodard, who recent ly became the first woman to become a member of the Harlem Globetrot ters, will speak. The conference is being hosted by three national organizations The Girls Clubs of America, The National Assoclation for Girls and Women in Sports, Inc., and Women Sports Foun dations. It is being sponsored by Stay- Free Brand Company, Lilly Endow ment, Bonne Bell, and the Amateur Athletics Foundation of Los Angeles. program "Today in the World." He then reminded viewers that the 1988 Olympics are to be held in South Korea, adding: "I think you com rades would also agree that because of reports like those, we have been receiving from South Korea for a long time, almost every day, this (the Olympics) is impossible." He indicated the Soviets again may cite security problems as a reason for not attending the Games. The Soviet Union and most of its allies, claiming security threats, boycotted the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. North Korea, a Soviet ally, has demanded that the 1988 Olympic events be shared with South Korea. !Alt 4 season's second-place showing was tempered by the fact the Phillies finished 21 1 / 2 games behind the Na tional League East Division cham pion New York Mets. • Team President Bill - Giles flew to Chicago early today to makd the announcement. There was little ques tion about the depth of his dissatisfac tion with the club, which despite questionable pitching, was expected to contend for the division title. Instead, the Phillies, 29-32, have slipped 9 1 / 2 games behind the first place St. Louis Cardinals and are just I'/2 ahead of the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates. The team has lost four of its six games on the current road trip, in cluding the last two to the Cubs. "I made the decision after Tues day's game," Giles said at a news conference at Wrigley Field. * IV. f ~{ ~M ^..i: '; e ~^:.

He reacted to the booing of Chicago fans during his tenure here by saying only the unemployed came out to watch the Cubs. He is known for closing the club house door and ripping his players for uninspired performances. Felske, by contrast, has been crit icized for his lack of toughness. He's a calm man who rarely argues with an umpire, or blasts his own players. Elia managed five years in the Phillies' minor league system start-' ing in 1975. He was promoted to a Cubs spoil Elia's debut with 9-7 win By The Associated Press CHICAGO - 7 Rafael Palmeiro and Keith Moreland hit two-run homers in the third inning and Jerry Mumphrey added a three-run homer in the eighth yesterday, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 9-7 victory over Philadelphia and spoiling Lee Elia's managerial debut with the Phillies. Elia replaced John Felske as manager earlier in the day .but it didn't keep the Cubs from making it three straight over the Phillies after losing the series opener. Rick Sutcliffe, 9-3, was the winner, although he was knocked out in a three-run seventh. Lee Smith got the final out in the ninth for his 18th save. Mike Jackson, 1-5, took the loss. ST.

Last year, he rejoined the parent club as a dugout assistant to Felske and in the recent Montreal series, he replaced Jim Davenport as third base coach. Mike Schmidt, the Phillies' All-Star third baseman, publicly criticized the front office and Felske recently, al though he quickly apologized. After Wednesday's 5-3 defeat in Chicago, Schmidt blasted himself and his teammates.

Bill Dawley, 4-4, the fifth St. Louis pitcher earned the victory after entering the game in the tenth. Clark's four RBI gave him 64, giving him the major league lead.

What they don't know and what Monday's NBA draft Won't help re solve is what basketball uniform he will wear by 1989. Despite Robinson's two-year Navy commitment and the uncertainty of how long the Spurs will retain exclu sive rights to sign him, the team has not wavered in its determination to draft him No. 1. "Nothing has happened since the draft lottery to change our minds," said Angelo Drossos, Spurs president. Last month, the 7-foot-1 Robinson was commissioned as an ensign after four years at the U.S. Naval Acade my, where tie was one of the nation's top scorers, rebounders and shot blockers. Under NBA rules, the Spurs would retain the rights to sign him for a year, but they contend a bylaw that predates the current collective bar gaining agreement gives them more than two years to sign Robinson. "The bylaw states that a team which drafts a player in the armed services retains the rights to sign him until 30 days after he gets out of the service," Drossos said. "Our lawyers feel very strongly about getting at least a second year." Several developments in recent weeks will complicate the Spurs' ef forts to sign Robinson. The Navy has said Robinson is free to sign an NBA contract and receive salary or bonus money before his two : - year, active-duty commitment is fin ished. The NBA said on June 2 that a judge or an arbitrator would have to resolve any dispute over • whether signing rights continue - beyond a year.

Even if a judge gives the Spurs an extra year to sign Robinson, the NBA contends he would become a free agent eligible to sign with any NBA team after that time. "All these things will make it a little tougher to sign him, but they haven't changed our minds," said Bob Bass, the Spurs' general man ager. Also, Larry Fleisher, general coun sel for the NBA Players Association, plans to demand an end to the entire draft system, making free agents of all rookies. If that happens, Robin son's chances of winding up with the Spurs would be slim indeed, consid ering that talented and wealthy tea ms like the Lakers and Celtics would covet him.

"If David Robinson is out of the league for the next two years, our guy is going to be the most talked about rookie in the league," said Suns Gen eral Manager Jerry Colangelo. He said the Suns will choose be tween 6-9, forward Armon Gilliam of Nevada-Las Vegas and 6-5 guard Dennis Hopson of Ohio State, both of whom were invited back for second interviews a few days before the draft. Other players expected to go high in the draft are 6-11 Olden Polynice of Virginia, who played last season in Italy; 7-0 Chris Welp of Washington, 6-3 Kenny Smith of North Carolina, 6- 10 Horace Grant of Clemson, 6-9 Dal las Comegys of DePauJ, 6-7 Reggie Williams of Georgetown, 6-9 Derrick McKey of Alabama, 6-8 Ken Norman of lowa and 6-3 Mark Jackson of St. John's. AP Laserphoto Marty Blake, the NBA's director of scouting, said that the 1987 rookie crop is deep, but does not have the quality to make an immediate impact on the league. "You'll have to look back at this draft in two or three years to get a real understanding of just how good it really is," Blake said. "I think you'll see an awful lot of these players in the league." "I wish we could get Michael Jor dan with the third pick the way Chi cago did three years ago," Nets General Manager Harry Weltman said, "but there's no one of that caliber available." 323 E.
