no problem

WINNIPEG (CP) — Pic ture the run of the mill foot. ball player agent, and what most often comes to mind is a cigar-smoking bastion of boardroom wheeling and dealing.

Joe Watson only fits part of the mould. But she’s quickly earning a reputation as a tough negotiator for players in the Canadian Foot. ball League.

“Quite honestly, I never even saw a football game until about 1979,” said Wat son, who's based in Burling: ton, Ont., and was at the training camp of Winnipeg Blue Bombers recently.

“I didn’t know if a football was full of air or feathers,” said Watson, who represents rookie offensive lineman Pat Langdon, the Bombers’ No. 1 draft pick this year.

“But I moved to the United States for a year and worked extensively with football clubs and scouts to the point where I am capable of eval- uating talent and handling tough negotiations.”

It was the advent of the United States Football League that gave her a start in her new profession. Her business card lists her as professional football player contract adviser.

PATRICK EWING

NBA draft ‘landmark’

NEW YORK (AP) — Dave DeBusschere calls the draft. ing of Patrick Ewing “a landmark day in the history of the New York Knicks.”

However, the National Basketball Association draft could have an impact even beyond the considerable ex pectations for the former Georgetown centre, if just three or four of the seven centres drafted among the first 17 players become fix tures in the middle for this teams.

Ewing’s selection by the Knicks was followed by five more big players before the first guard, Chris Mullin, was taken seventh by Golden State Warriors.

Forward Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma was picked by

Canadian top draft choice

MONTREAL (CP) — Bill Wennington has found that sometimes things can exceed your expectations.

The seven-foot Montreal native always hoped to play in the National Basketball Association but he never be lieved he would get there as a first-round draft choice.

But that's what happened Tuesday, as Dallas Maver. icks made the St. John’s Uni. versity graduate their top selection. Wennington, 20, was the 16th choice overall, edging out Leo Rautins as the Righest-selected Cana dian ever in the NBA draft.

Rautins was chosen 17th by Philadelphia 76ers in 1983, played one season with the team, and then failed to stick with several teams last sea. son.

Dallas Mavericks chose two seven-foot centres with first-round selections — Mon. treal native Bill Winnington of St. John's University and Uwe Blab of Indiana — with their own selection and one acquired in a trade with New Jersey Nets.

Wennington, a member of

Canada’s 1984 Olympic squad, was one of three Can. adians selected in the draft. Mike Smrek of Port Robin son, Ont., another seven-foot centre who attended Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y., and Duke University forward Danny Meagher, a six-foot- seven native of St. Cathar. ines, Ont.

Smrek was the first pick in the second round by Portland Trail Blazers then was traded

Chicago for the Bulls’ second-round selection, for- ward Ken Johnson.
