NEW YORK (UPI) - There's no provtston for an offtctal
protest tn pro football as there ts m baseball, whtch ts an
tnjusllce tn one way but a pure blessing tn another because
what would they do with an off Ictal found to have cost a team a
key ball game - hang him from Ute nearest goal post?
Anytime a protest ts uplx&gt;ld m baseball, the game m question
etther ts resumed from the pomt of dispute or replayed
enlirely Such cases are rare Stnce baseball protests are
upheld about as often as Egypt and Israel get together at the
peace table
In football, there's no practical way to replay a game
already fintshed or reswue tt from the pomt of contention
That doesn't necessarily mean football ofltetals never make
Jlltst.ilkes They're human , the same as anyone else. Certainly
they make miStakes although on balance, they don't make that
'{llany. Only a few years ago, the Los Angeles Rams were gtven
live downs durmg the same sertes The referee lost count of the
downs and for domg that, he and htS entire crew drew a
suspensmn
All thts comes tnto sharper focus now due to the uncommon
furor contmutpg over Sunday's contest tn Baltimore where
quarterback Bert Jones of the Colts fumbled away the ball
near the Patnots' goal-ltne wtth less than t hree mmutes left,

They put one man on the phones espectally to handle all the

area Monday. All the callers were mcensed over what they felt
was a sheer outrage Everybody cail!ng m was mad
Although the Patrtots already had been eliminated from the
playoffs before Sunday's game, thetr supporters are burned up
because a victory was "stolen" (rom them The Miami fans
are boiltng because they feel thetr team was jobbed out of the
division tttl e, and Dolphtn Coach Don ShuIa, who was watching
the game on TV, ts stearrung because he 1sn 't sure whether the
referee blel! hts whistle acctdentally, prematurely or

" I don't know what the ruling was, whether the whtstle had

Shula keeps saymg, "but tt was evtdent t hat Jones fumbled

F'red Silva was the referee tn Sunday'sgame He's no rookie,
havmg offt ctated m ~NFL II seasons For working Sunday's
game, he got $5Th plus a lot of heat
Jones says he doesn't know tf he fumbled before the play was

could've been he was bemg overproteettve of Jones ConsciOusly or otherwtse, most referees don 't ltkc to see
quarterbacks absorb unnecessary puntshment, particularly
quarterba cks of Jones' abtltty, so they sometimes become a bit
overprotecttve
Regardless, tl was purely a JUdgment ca ll on Silva's part and
as such, all those rrate Mtarru and New England fans have no
sohd basts for thetr condemnatiOn of him They can crttictze
his judgement , but who's to say thetr own JUdgem~nt of him IS

The Bengals did it bv
dropping Sunday's game to

up to become law without his
signature.
Robert S. Ryan, state
energy chief who will serve
as the department's first
director, made the request
which involves $6.9 million in
spending authority for the
next 18 months and $1 million
worth of obligations for prior
fiscal years.
The board also approved
the expenditure of $85G,OOO in
energy research and develop"ment funds for a pilot project
at Central Ohio Psychiatric
Hospital using the "fluidized
bed" method of removing
sulfur from Ohio coal.
Ryan said the money would
be replaced next year when a
coal use tax established by
the new law begins to produce
revenues .
The Controlling Board
voted to become a party to an
appeal to be taken by the
state against a Hamilton
County ~ourt decision of two
weeks ago holding the state's
sahool subsidy fo rmula
Wlconstitutiona l.
The lone dissenter was
Rep. Myrl H. Shoemaker, DBourneville, a board member
who said he agrees with the

court , adding that an appeal
wiH only cost the state more
money Hand the result will
probably be the same."
The bo"rd also voted 4-2 to
allow
the
Legislative
Reference Bureau to absorb a
program aimed at providing·
information about sta te
gove rnm ent se rvices for
women .
The Legislature earlier this
ye a r
speci fi ca ll y
appropriated $46,478 for the
program,.but the LRB said it
is
finding
accounting
difficulties in administering
it separately.
Rep. W. Bennett Rose, RLima, objected to combining
the accounts on grounds he
want.s to be able tu eva luate
the effectiveness of the
information service for
women . "There ought to be
some hard evidence about the
value of this program," he
said.
.
The board also approved
the purchase, wihtout
competitive bidding, of
600,000 coho salmon eggs frm
the state of Washington at a
cost of $6,000.
The Department of Natural
Resources said Washin,:1;ton is

"the only known source of
disease-free eggs of excellent
quality." The eggs will grow
into coho salmon of four to :;ix
pounds, which will ultimately
be stocked in tributaries of
l..o:1ke Erie .
The board also approved :
• - $111,880 in planning fw1ds
for civilian conservation
camps in Muskingurn ,
Washington and Sandusky
counties .
-$11.1 million in extra
fund s, mainly transfers from
local and federal authorities,
for the Department of Mental
Health
and
Mental
Retardation for job :training,
drug abuse, Medicaid,
special education and public
works programs.
--$87 million as the state's
regular monthly school
subsidy
payment
for
December.
- $341 ,428 to the state
Insurance Department,
including $234,000 to pay for
nine new examiners, to be
supported by increases in

Threats to kill ignored as clowning

Legal niceties block career center project
The Otuo Board of Regents was m the process Monday of
ootifying the RIO Grande ConmlUnity College Board of
Trusrees to halt construction work on the new $1.8 nulhon
Technical Careers Center " untU that least' is secu red ."
The quotation 1s from Dr. M.ix. J . Lerner, c.hancellor of twovear programs of the OhiO Board of Regents, who was talking
by telephooe earl~ afternoon ~londay to the Galhpohs Daily
TrtbWie and Pomeroy-Mtddleport Sentinel
Dr. Lerner said that the land must be owned b)· the
Commumty College. or lea sed on a long4erm basts wtth both
parues m full ag reement .
Somewhat la\er Mmday afternoon. Einon Plwnmer ,
chairman of the CommWlity College Boa rd of Trustees . told
the Daily Tribltne and Sentune l tha t the leg~! arrangement is
this .

'llle prtva!P college must deed the land and the building to
the cm&gt; munity college ; then the comntWlity college leases the
land a nd the buildlng to Rio Grande College for the private
college to opera!P 11
Ownership , however, resides in the community college.
Earlier. Plwnmer Monday said in another telephone
conversation wtth the Daily Tribune and Sentinel, that the
CY•mmunitv college had asked for the deed a year ago, but had
re&lt;'eived it on!)• this month . Plummer said that Atty. John E .
Halliday drew up the deed .
Halliday satd : " As soon as I got the proper descriptions I
\&lt;Tote the deed."
.
Plununer scoffed at alleged prospects that the Techmcal
Ca reers Center would fail and the money go to some other
community college project.
