(AP) — Will Clark, who has never played a day in organized baseball above the Class A level, will be the Giants’ starting first baseman when San Francisco opens the 1986 season, says manager Roger Craig. Clark, 22, who has played 65 games as a profes- sional, is one of several youngsters San Francisco is counting on to turn around what was the worst team in the big leagues last season, losing 100 games for the first time in franchise history. Clark is batting almost .350 for the exhibition season, leading the team in home runs with four and is second in runs batted in with 13. Dan Driessen, the Giants’ first baseman last year, is hitting below .200, with no. home runs and just two RBI this spring. SETTLEMENT . CHICAGO (AP) — A judge ruled Tuesday the National Football League Indianapolis Colts, owned by Robert Irsay, can be considered as part of any settlement in divorce proceedings between Irsay and his wife of 38 years. Cireuit court judge Aubrey Kaplan granted a petition by Irsay’s wife, Harriet, to make the football team a third-party defendant in the divorce case. Lawyers for Irsay had moved to dismiss Mrs. Irsay’s petition to make the team a party in the case. Kaplan, who had previously barred Irsay from selling the potential assets of the couple, said he is concerned Irsay had made financial transactions involving the Colts that could affect a potential divorce property settlement. BOXER INJURED WEST PATERSON, N.J. (AP) — A New York City physician examined heavyweight fighter Tyrell Biggs and confirmed the Olympic gold medallist suffered a broken right collarbone in his fight last weekend, a spokesmen for the boxer said Tuesday. Dr. Francis Mendoza, a specialist in shoulder injuries, said Biggs suffered a clean break of collarbone and probably will begin conditioning in three weeks, said Kathy Duva, spokesman for Main Events Inc. The Doctor said the Philadelphia fighter could start training in six weeks and should probably be able to fight again in June or July, she said. Biggs, who beat Willie de Wit of Grande Prairie, Alta., for the Olympic heavyweight title, broke the collarbone in the second round of his bout against Jeff Sims.

GOING HOME NEW YORK (AP) — Tennis star Martina Navratilova, who hasn't returned to her native Czechoslovakia since defecting in 1975, was named Tuesday to the U.S. team for the Federation Cup to be played July 21-27 in Prague.

CIAU _H Tournament a disaster By JOHN KOROBANIK The Canadian Press Bob Steadward, athletic director at the University of Alberta, tried his best to smile after the Golden Bears won the Canadian university hockey championship Sunday. But as chief organizer of the four-day tournament, he had more reasons to frown. The tournament was a financial disaster with total attendance for the three games of 4,921. That shouldn't be surprising. Talk to university officials and it's soon evident they aren't willing to accept responsibility for their own inability to market campus sports. In the post-mortem of the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union hockey tournament in Edmonton and the men’s basketball tournament in Halifax, both financial calamities, university officials tried to deflect the criticism. They blame the media and the CIAU. The CIAU, in turn, says it’s the fault of the universities. What uni rsities have to learn, says Bob Pugh, the CIAU's executi pr some pr “What's needed is a consistent effort by all the universities to be professionals in the area of marketing and promotion. The solution to this problem can't seep down from the top, it has to be solved on a local level.” What this means is the CLAU hasn't got any solutions.

(CP) — Kelly Gruber came to Tor- onto’s spring training camp this year with an interesting proposition from the club's came to camp to play their way onto the American League baseball team's ros- ter, Gruber was told he'd have to play himself out of a At this time last year, the 25-year-old right-handed hit- ter was trying to make the team by ousting veteran third baseman Garth lorg, who won the battle and shared the position with Rance Mulliniks. Each situation is filled with its own pressure and pitfalls, but Gruber obviously likes knowing that management thinks he's ready to become a full-time member of the de- fending East Division cham- pion. For the last two seasons, the Austin, Tex., native has been billed as a power. hitting third baseman, but his role this season will likely call for duty as a-spot starter at either second, third or shortstop and as a late-inning defensive insertion at those positions. He's also played in the outfield at spring train- ing. “When I was drafted, I was a shortstop and I thought that I'd like to play there,” said Gruber, who hit 42 homers in his two seasons at Syracuse. “Then I was moved to third base and I thought I'd kind of like playing there. “Now I've also played some second base and some centre field. But I'm not in a position to say anything about it.” With a grin, Gruber adds, “Besides, it gives me an ex- cuseWhen I flub up. I can say that I haven't been at the position for very long.” Despite seeing regular duty at third in the minor leagues the last three sea- sons, Gruber expects little trouble making the adjust- ment to becoming a utility infielder-outfielder. “It's a role, actually a good role for a player,” said Gru- r. “I'm happy with it and I'm happy just to be able to go out and play with these guys.” — Sergey Nemehinov's power-play goal 3:35 into overtime lifted Moscow Sel- ects to a 3-2 victory over the Canadian Olympic team Tuesday night, giving the touring Soviets their fifth win through six games of an eight-game exhibition hockey goal of the first period, on a power play at 11:21. ve mikian scored the only goal the second period on a power play at 2:22.

Stuart Burnie was penal, ized for closing his hand on the puck 1:49 into overtime, setting up the power play that produced Moscow's win- ning goal.

It's evident the only way to keep those players here is by matching the U.S. scholarships. “In the U.S., they do a selling job,” says Dave Chambers, hockey coach at Toronto's York University. “The eg and the public think U.S. college hockey is the place to “Canadian university hockey is better overall and we have to sell the players on that.” There's that word, SELL. Often, university officials tend to believe they shouldn't have to sell their product. Then, when they realize they have to, they lack the skills to make the right marketing decisions. For instance, why did they sell out the hockey semifinal and final to television for a few hours of éxposure on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, when the viewing audience is limited, instead of playing at prime time and trying to sell the local market? In the long run that might have been more beneficial. What can universities do to try to lure spectators? Well, here's a couple of suggestions. Make greater use of students in the marketing, business and journalism programs at the schools. Make the marketing and promotion of the school’s athletic programs part of the curriculum. e Canvass the student bodies. Find out why, for instance, only about 2,000 of Alberta's 20,000-plus students turned out for Sunday's hockey final e Promote student athletes on campus. Don't hide them like they're somehow inferior to other students just because they're jocks. U of C adopts drug testing CALGARY (CP) — The University of Calgary has become the first Canadian college to adopt random drug testing for its football play ers. Beginning this fall, mem bers of the Calgary Dino saurs, defending national football champions, will be tested at random for steroids and other drugs. ‘The drug-testing program will also apply to athletes in- volved in all other sports at the university. “We told them (players) that we're not here to jump up and down all over them because of abuses, but that we had an unwritten policy for a number of years with regards to drug usage,” said Robert Corran, the univer- sity’s athletic director. “This is just to formalize it.” Steroids, which increase body mass and build stren- gth, are the most abused of drugs by athletes. Corran said drugs such as cocaine that plague professional sports aren't a cause for concern with universities. Mid-Week Wrap-up seueses reszeesee esorssceess ssssersese KELOWNA, B.C.
