And even though the free agent draft has made 38 year-old singles hitter Pete Rose a millionaire in Philadelphia, oldtimers Tommy John and Luis Taint part of the World Champion New York Yankee pitching staff, koo carew and Angel and Jim Rice, George Foster, and Dave Parker happy at their present locations, the balance of power in the sport has not shifted significantly. The Yankees were the first team to "open the wallet" to the free agents a few years ago. They have two consecutive championships to show for it, and are the favorites to add another this time around. In addition to the Yanks, the experts are picking the same three teams to take their respective divisions again. This writer feels slightly.different and here is how he sees the new season unfolding. In the American League the Yankees^re the pick here to take it all again. With Taint and John added to the likes of Ron Guidry, "Catfish" Hunter, and Ed Figueroa, Ken Clay and Jim Beattie waiting in the wings and "Goose" Gossage in the bullpen, they have the strength where it counts. Add this to an air tight infield and an outfield made stronger by the addition of Juan Beniquez, and turn their bats loose.

The three sport star or the coach who handles a number of athletic teams at almost any level is a disappearing breed. i But in the case of Walter Funderburk, he must serve I as a coach for a number of sports, and a number of teams in each sport. Walt is a co-center director at Sprague Street Recreation Center for the city. As a center director his broad duties are to plan, organize and supervise the activities of Sprague Street Center. But his specialty is coaching, or as Walt sees it, "teaching." And his success with athletic teams speaks for itself. Since joining the Recreation Department in 1973 his teams have claimed championships in recreation -leagues in softball, baseball, basketball and football. r . Winston Lake Sp Winston Lake Golf Pro E. Jerry Jones announced plans for the \16th annual Spring Festival Golf Tournament to be held at the course April 28 and 29 early this week. Jones will be taking over the running of the tourney after a one year absence when\the Winston Lake Golf team handled the event. i ?

He was picked as the team's Most Valuable Player, and played in the 1964 Shrine Bowl Game. He went on to play for North Carolina Central University with WSSU football coach BUI Hayes. . Walt wasn't your average super jock even then, At 5-9 145 pounds, he served as trainer for the football team until he became a star during his senior season." "I guess 1 served my apprenticeship," he says with a smile, when shown an old high school article which is captioned, "former waterboy becomes star quarterback." ~v But there is still more to this young man of deep convictions. He lost his father atjhe age of five and his mother was left to rear he and four older sisters, The experience left him with determination rather than scars, and that determination has * become the root of his character. A quiet, even-tempered individual, he gets along well with his peers and his "students" at the center; Sprague onsors Tourney merchandise will be given to first place winners in each flight. The merchandise will consist of Pro-line irons. A total of $2,000 in trophies, merchandise and gift certificates will be awarded. Jones said the entry fee will be $35.00 for non members and $25.00 for members of the elub. Saturday's first round play will determine the flights for Sunday.

His athletic teams reflect that deep character and ability to get along with others. There is no squabbling among players on his teams. They are always well mannered, respectful and exhibit teamwork. During his six years with the Recreation Department he has worked at Hanes, Lowrance, Carver, Happy Hill, and on special assignment to assist with teenage activities, special events, and athletic programs for six months before moving to Sprague. In each of these six years his team has played for the towel tag football championships His teams have won* two^irls' 4448 softball titles, two girls' JJM8 basketball \ crowns, a 13-15 boys' basketball and baseball title as well as dominating the boys' 5th and 6th grade basketball league for the past four_years. They jyon title in each of the past three years and were beaten this year i in the finals by a YMCA all-star team after Funderburk had missed the last part of the season with an operation. These same teams have gone on to 6ring championships to Philo Junior High the past three years. His philosophy is simple and basic. "What I teach the kids in sports want to help them in everyday life, because your attitude, good sportsmanship, and the hard everyday life. There is just more to coaching than teaching the game of sports/' he says with a sense of deep concern in his voice. "Kids want leadership today, and they are looking for it but few adults take the time to work with them. That's what 1 enjoy about my job. The chance to work with kids."
