tnm ovn nlu, UULI i iaoo i Speed is calling card for Maryland all-stars Bentalou boys take three titles By Mike Farabaugb Evening Sun Staff The Maryland high school all-star football team has speed to burn and will use it to challenge the Pennsylvania stars tomorrow night when the teams square off in the Big 33 game at Hershey Stadium. "We will be outweighed by 25 pounds a man," said Poly's Augie Waibel, head coach for the state squad. "We think we have an edge in speed, however. Looking at the size of the Pennsylvania team, we better." Waibel and his staff Al Thomas of Seneca Valley, Doug Fleetwood of Cambridge-South Dorchester and Tim Woods of Southern High in Garrett County are running a "boot camp," and the players are responding with enthusiasm. "After a couple of three-a-days and two-a-day practice sessions ever since, the guys are looking forward to this afternoon's practice," said Waibel.

"We're calling it our 'count-your-blessings practice' because we're all going to area hospitals around Harrisburg to visit those who have been less fortunate. It will be the first break we've had." Mark Ray of Pallotti will start at quarterback for Waibel, and the speed he'll have to utilize comes from tailback Irving Smith of Poolesville, fullback Danny Porter of Allegany, swingback Antoine Harris of Randallstown and split ends Calvin Williams of Dunbar and Rodney Metcalf of Largo. "We won't be sitting in the Power I that I use at Poly," said Waibel. "We can't afford to get trapped in too many third-and-nine situations. We'll be throwing on first down, second down, anything to keep the other team off guard." Porter, who's bound for Virginia under George Welsh, played in an all-star game last Friday in Hagers-town, according to Waibel, and was named the game's MVP after rushing for 220 yards in 21 attempts.

By Eunetta Boone Evening Sun Staff Bentalou Recreation Center earned city bragging rights last night when its 11- 13- and 18-and-under boys teams won their respective BNBL championships at Morgan State's Hill Field House. With the exception of the 44-31 victory by Madison Square's 15-and-under team over Lexington Terrace, Bentalou dominated the 17th championships. These were the first city titles at any age level for Bentalou and gives the center the recognition it has been seeking, said its director, Herman Johnson. "It's the first time we've ever won anything," Johnson said. 'We've been waiting for this for years." The Bentalou binge began when Coach Arnold Ross' 11-and-under squad rolled over Lillian Jones, 35-11.

This was a special victory for a squad which had rolled up a 49-1 record in five years of regular-season play and had made three previous trips to the finals. In a fast-paced 13-and-under game against Cecil, Bentalou posted a 34-26 decision which seemed to inspire the 18-and-under boys. Most of the older players had begun playing at Bentalou in the younger divisions but hadn't been able to win a championship. With the younger teams putting on such an impressive show, Johnson said the 18-and-under group felt compelled to win. "Some of these guys have been here since they were seven years old," he said.

"I've watched them play and grow up." Although the two other Bentalou victories were satisfying to Johnson, who coached the 13-and-under squad, and the other coaches, the 18-and-under team's 43-42 victory over By Robert K. Hamilton Evening Sun Staff Bentalou's Bernard Royster, No. 23, and Lexington's Raymond Nelson scramble for a loose ball. defending champion Lexington Terrace proved to be the most exciting to the approximately 200 fans in Hill Field House. The game featured high school stars such as Lexington Terrace's Karl James of Dunbar High, Bentalou's Bernard Royster, a Cardinal Gibbons grad bound for Old Dominion, and Bentalou's Rudolph Archer, a graduate of Southwestern.

From the start, the teams scrapped inside for rebounds and points and Bentalou stunned the defending champs with fluid inside moves as it took an early nine-point lead. But Lexington didn't make it to the finals as a Cinderella team. After entering the playoffs with a 4-6 regular-season record it worked hard while eliminating three teams en route to the title game. That determination surfaced during the second half when, with 9:48 remaining, it tied the score at 33-33. "It took guts to win this," said Bentalou Coach Mike Daniel.

"Super guts. That's what we are about at Bentalou Recreation Center. They came a long way." With less than a minute remaining and Bentalou leading 41-39, James threw up a 15-footer that tied the score. But a foul put Bentalou's Archer on the free-throw line and he made two shots, despite the taunts from the Lexington Terrace bench. In all, Archer scored 13 points and was named the game's MVP.

"I couldn't miss it," said Archer, who will attend George Mason this fall. "I knew I could hit the shot." A foul at the other end put Lexington's Anthony Clark on the foul line with two seconds left, but he missed the second of two shots. NOTES Devin Ross of Bentalou, who scored eight points, was the 11-and-under MVP Bentalou's Earl Thomas was the 13-and-under MVP. He paced his mates with 14 points MVP in the 15-and-under finale was Sam Cassell of Madison Square. He had 14 points.

This year's championship program book was dedicated to the late Craig Cromwell, who played with Madison Square's 15-and-under championship team last season At the end of the 10-week regular season, the teams had played 1,045 games involving 2,200 players.

"Williams and Metcalf will share split end and carry the plays to the huddle," said Waibel.

"Metcalf will probably start on defense and Williams on offense. Both can go both ways for us." With those two helping on defense, Waibel will have excellent speed on that unit, also. The squad's top "burner" is defensive back Rodney Scott of Friendly. "Rodney's got world-class speed," said Waibel. "He's the state 100-meter champ, and he can really fly." Tom Smith of Churchill anchors the offensive line at center, flanked on the left by Ken Nichols of Calvert Hall and Scott Colaw of Southern of Garrett.

On Smith's right is Mike Christian of Poly, Tony Downs of South River and tight end Dave Carr of Franklin, who'll also place kick. Anchoring the defensive line is nose guard Wayne Greatorex, a two-time All-Metro performer in the Washington, D.C. area. Waibel reports the squad is down to 32 players. "Jay Johnston of Annapolis has come down with an infection and will not play," said Waibel.

"I really feel sorry for him. He has been working so hard, and he's been a pleasure to coach." This year marks the first time a Maryland team has played in the Big 33 game. It's Pennsylvania's 28th appearance. "Our goal is to be competitive," said Waibel. "They are heavy favorites, but our guys won't back off.

We've got the talent, and there's speed to burn." NOTES Tomorrow's kickoff js 7:30 p.m. Baltimoreans wishing to attend can reach Hershey Stadium by driving north on 1-83 to Harrisburg, taking Rt. 322 toward Hershey and following the signs to Hershey Park. Earnhardt signals for a U-turn By Sandra McKee Evening Sun Staff LONG POND, Pa. Dale Earnhardt is looking for a change here Sunday.

A big change. He started this topsy-turvy year anticipating a run at the Winston Cup title; instead he has been running hard just to stay in the game. He won two of the first five races this season, but in six of the last eight his Chevrolet Monte Carlo has failed to finish because of engine problems. "It has been a strange year," said Earnhardt, as his team prepared for Sunday's Summer 500 at Pocono International Raceway. "At the first of the year everything was going our way, and we really thought we had a great shot at the championship.

But then, suddenly, we couldn't finish a race. We'd run well, but something would go wrong." Since the early season, Earnhardt has fallen from third to 14th in the point standings and can only envy the performance of Bill Elliott, who, at 2,306, is 511 points ahead of him. "But I'm not quitting," Earnhardt said. "We think all of the engine problems are now behind us. We've finished the last two races, and our plan now is to concentrate on winning races and let Bill and Darrell Waltrip and Terry Labonte worry about the point title." After 15 of the scheduled 28 races, Waltrip is second in the point race, 101 behind Elliott, while Labonte is next, 168 points out of first.

Earnhardt thinks Sunday's race will go to the wire, like the Firecracker 400 did three weeks ago. "NASCAR's last rule change has made a difference," Earnhardt said, referring to NASCAR's decision to cut the size of the carburetor opening in hopes of reducing speeds. "I think it has slowed the speeds to the point where we can race again instead of just trying to hang on to Bill." One driver who will be more than just trying to hang on is Bobby Allison. Wednesday, Allison left the Di-Gard team of which he has been a member for the last Vh years and formed his own team, which will continue for the season under Miller Brewing Company sponsorship. "We've been working double shifts for the entire week trying to get this car ready for Pocono," said Donnie Johnson, vice president and general manager of Allison's race shop in Hueytown, Ala.

"I won't say it's an impossible job, but it's a big job, that's for sure." Johnson is converting a 1985 Buick that Allison's son, Davey, has been racing on the ARCA circuit into a Grand National stock car for Sunday's race. "The most important thing right now is Pocono," said Johnson. 3Yo Up; 1 116 mi. (TURF) Associated Press DETROIT Texas Rangers Manager Bobby Valentine confirmed reports that third baseman Buddy Bell has been traded to the Cincinnati Reds for outfielder Duane Walker and righthander Jeff Russell, according to published reports. Newspapers in Dallas and Fort Worth quoted Valentine as saying after last night's 3-2 victory over Detroit that an Associated Press story from Cincinnati confirming the trade was "accurate but not official." Walker, a 28-year-old left-hander, said he had talked to Rangers general manager Tom Grieve and "had been welcomed aboard as a Ranger.

Bell reportedly is making $600,000 a year on a contract running through 1987 with an option for 1988. Walker, 28, has been used as a backup outfielder and pinch-hitter. He hit .292 in 83 games last season, but is batting just .167 in 48 plate appearances this year. Bell is in his 13th major-league season, having split time between the Cleveland Indians and the Rangers. He hit .315 last season with 83 runs batted in, but has slumped badly this season, hitting .235.

He drove in a run last night to help the Rangers record a 3-2 victory over Detroit. Hers Racing INGLEWOOD, Calif. John Henry, thoroughbred racing's all-time leading money-winner, hasn't raced since last October and may be facing the end of his storied career on the track. Scheduled to make his return to racing in the first-ever $100,000 Vernon 0. Underwood Handicap at Hollywood Park Sunday, John Henry was scratched by trainer Ron McAnally because of an injury to bis right front leg.

The 10-year-old gelding will cease training and recieve various treatments for a few weeks before veterinarian Dr. Jack Robbins decides if the injury will force the horse into retirement "If this injury is what I think it is, it means it's the end," said a pessimistic McAnally. Golf DANVERS, Mass. Laura Baugh, a nine-time runner-up but never a winner in 12 years on the LPGA tour, sank a hole-in-one and grabbed the first-round lead at the $225,000 Boston Five Classic with a 5-under-par 67. Baugh, who also had six birdies and three bogeys, had a one-stroke edge over Therese Hession, another non-winner.

Hession finished at 68, one stroke ahead of Silvia Bertolac-cini, Rosie Jones and Myra Black-welder. Football ATLANTA If he decides to run for the U.S. Senate, Georgia football Coach Vince Dooley will recommend offensive coordinator George Haff-ner as interim coach, according to published reports. The Atlanta Constitution, in today's editions, quoted sources close to Dooley as saying that barring a last-minute change, Dooley will run for the Senate and recommend Haffner to succeed him. Dooley was in Florida yesterday and could not be reached for comment.

"I don't know anything at all," said Haffner. "I have not talked to anybody about it, and I don't intend to until I hear from Coach Dooley." Haffner, 44, joined Dooley 's staff in 1980, the year the Bulldogs won the national championship. Last year, Dooley named him assistant head coach. Meanwhile, after meeting with most of the state's political leaders, as well as his coaches and players, Dooley planned to spend this weekend on the Gulf Coast with two of his closest friends and advisers. He may decide next week whether to make the Senate race.

Dooley, who returned from a European vacation last Saturday, has tested the political waters this week. He has told all of them that he is seriously considering seeking the Democratic nomination to run against Republican U.S. Sen. Mack Matting-ly, but he hasn't said he would do so. 8 Fabiano (L) 119 Hutton 210 Blusiewicz 5-2 7 Electrifying 117 No boy 021 Maxwell 3-1 5 Land Of The Free (L) 117 Pino 023 Mobberley 4-1 1 Morphy 117 Hutton 003 Stortz 4-1 3 Noble But Nasty 117 Miller 120 Alfano 6-1 4 Ofsarjaan 117 Baboolal 000 Vandernat 10-1 2 Majestic Peace 117 Saumell 000 Kettenbach 12-1 6 Sally's River 117 Pino 000 Bailey 15-1 11.500-19,500); 3 Yo; 1 l16mi.

He ran well against a de- cent sort of cheap claimer (Scott's Last Buck). If he runs back to that race, improves just a little off it, he's the one to beat.

Mesa Love has had many chances, is still a maiden after 14 tries. Firing Line) drew poor post, has to overcome that. Dig On digs in, can run with these and could win on best effort. One Serenade adds blinkers. Yac Attack has been rested, might come out running.

2 Electrifying loves a firm turf course, certainly has that here and is the one to catch. Fabiano, however, is a stakes winner on grass (albeit in a Pa -bred race), but he looks like the class, runs for hutton. Land Of The Free is a winner on turf, can run with these, but usually finds a way to lose. Morphy is as good as any. Noble But Nasty is the horse to watch, he could pull an upset.

He's sharp now, can handle turf. 3 Space Out has not gotten over an annoying habit jumping tire tracks, real or imaginary on the track during a race. He jumped tire tracks and won in his last start. He's perfectly placed here, but that sort of strange habit can always get him beat. Magical Pocket likes this track, drops trying to score.

Allthekingsgold is turning out to be solid horse, has speed that suits this oval. 4Captued Memory and Frozen Section, both daughters of Shelter Half, ha ve ability. Captured Memory has chased better, runs cheapest ever, wants he money. Frozen Section has won three races with this kind of company, is a pro. Lets Share is on way back up the ladder.

5 Brother Charles has Miller, is by Faraway Son, could step up on turf. Quimby can get he distance. Platinum Foxcan handle grass, is long overdue. Matthew S. propped in sprint, is bred for grass.

6Tuffy Hacker has three good 2-year-olds. They are Air Miracle, Carnmore and Ballyduggan. Bal-lyduggan makes third start here, won last rather easily, is the one to beat. However, there's a real well-bred shipper from Delaware Brent's Danzig. He is a Danzig, won his only start and might be the real thing.

Tropical Whip won first start in a claimer, but he's a smart-looking horse and has obvious ability. 7 Pat's Addition went wire-to-wire to win a Bowie stakes. Speed holds a little better here, he's the one to catch. Whether he'll make it two in a row is the question. Jane's Dilemma has beaten top one, should argue.

Tops Of the Bail has been unbeatable on Lasix, could extend skein. 8 The Survivor Stakes goes head-to-head with the Walt Whitman Hanidcap at Garden State, and looks second best. However, despite light field for a $50,000 event, there are a couple of decent horses here. Bolting Holme propped well against older horses at Bowie, likes the grass, is bred for it, has found right spot. Diamond Rich is the class of the field, but didn't exactly in lone grass start.

Foiigno is Jonathan Sheppard runner, always a grass threat, but is cross-entered at Garden State. Kavazinga likes turf, gets in light but has much to prove. 9Emenee drops in for a tag for first time, has been away, but adds blinkers, gets red-hot Pino and might surprise. Falcon Fifty gets close, doesn't win. Stormy Tim runs cheapest ever.

Greek Ruler will take them part way.
