When asked whether he planned to step down at the league meeting, Cronin said, "I don't know if it's up or down." Then he added, "We haven't come to any conclusion. When they extended my contract through 1975, it was with the understanding that I would give up the job when they found a qualified successor. Nobody's been selected yet." More Sports Back Page This Section NEW YORK (AP) Sherman Lollar will take over as manager of the Oakland A's when Dick Williams resigns after the World Series, according to published reports.

Lollar, who attended the three World Series games in New York, managed Tucson of the Pacific Coast League, Oakland's top farm club, last year. Before becoming a minor league manager, Lollar was a catcher with the New York Yankees, St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox. Williams reportedly told him players Tuesday night that win or lose the World Series, he would not be back with the A's next year. He has been prominently named as a candidate for the vacant managerial post with the Yankees.

Or Will It Be Wills? LOS ANGELES (AP) Maury Wills said Friday the idea of being considered as the next manager of the Oakland Athletics was very flattering, but he said he had not been approached for the job. "I'm aware of the fact that some papers have mentioned it," the former Los Angeles Dodgers captain and shortstop said. "But there has been no such thing." "I think it's very flattering but, heck, I'm so pleased with what I'm doing with NBC," Wills said of his job as an analyst on baseball Game-ofthe-Week telecasts. "I would have to take a long, long, long look before making a choice," he said, noting that he had said earlier he had put aside all thoughts of managing in baseball. "After saying that, I don't want to seem flighty if I change my mind," said Maury, 41, who also was employed by the Dodgers as minor league base running instructor after the club released him as a player last year.

si seem to put it over the goal line. Twice in the first quarter, the Indians had the ball deep in Brahman territory and slippery fingers caused one interception and a fumble. Immokalee's only score came in the first quarter on a pass from Lee Williams to end James Garvin on a sleeper play. The 45-yard pass was the first of four receptions for Garvin. Lee Williams also ran for 59 yards.

Okeechobee's first score came on one of Williams' runs. The Brahman's quar- YARDSTICK When you lease from. Bill Branch Chevrolet, you've AlArVAYS got a car.

The Cougars had moved 77 yards with Nobles completing three passes for 55 yards and running 17 yards on an option keeper. While stopping the Houston running game in the first period, Miami could show only two missed field goals for its offensive efforts. The Hurricanes moved 41 yards to Houston's 12 early in the game with help from a Cougar personal foul on a fourth down punt. But an offsides penalty killed the drive that ended in a missed 34-yard field goal attempt. Willingham fumbled a 30-yard pass reception from Nobles at Miami's 35.

Miami recovered at its own 41 and moved to Houston's 35 on two running plays, but the drive bogged down at the 30 and a 47-yard field goal attempt also flew wide. Miami had seven first downs at halftime behind the running of tailback Woody Thompson but was stymied in the second half and ended the game with 10 first downs.

"The next thing I saw, people were jumping on Mr. McNerney's back and he went down.

It was a big rumble, but Mr. McNerney did not throw a The Tiger quarterback said that the team was upset when McNerney was relieved of his duties because, "He gets us fired up. The players like and respect him. There was a big difference this week without him coaching." Sapp's story differed from Pennington's. "On the last play, I was supposed to blitz," said Sapp.

"I made it past the line and I hit their quarterback with my knees, not my feet like they were saying. After I hit him, the whistle blew and I started to walk off the field. "Their coach (McNerney) came on the field and grabbed me by the shoulder pads and turned me around. He was yelling at me, but didn't swear or throw a punch at me. "While this was going on, two of my friends came over and thought that he was going to beat me up, so they pulled him down on the ground.

Because he had a hold of my jersey, I went down too. I was throwing punches, but I don't know if I hit him or not. After that, the big brawl broke out and I just tried to get out of there." But unlike Pennington, Sapp had more to add to the story. "I don't think it is right that they are trying to take his job away. I would like to see him back as their coach." The majority of opinion is that he loosely officiated game is the reason for the hot tempers.

Lay was contacted Friday and said he has received the reports of the incident from both school principals and the game officials. "I will study the reports this weekend and will make a ruling this coming week. Both schools and McNerney could be penalized. But I won't have a decision or a week." Only five Clewiston administration personnel have viewed the game films. Edwards stated that the film shows "beyond the shadow of a doubt" that McNerney did not throw a punch.
