NEW YORK (UPD - The big
news Thursday was that Bill
Rodgers entered the 12th
New York City Marathon.
The next question might be;
so what?

Rodgers, the 32-year-old
controversial long-distance
star who has been spear-
heading . a drive to win
money-earning rights for
road rungers, announced he
would enter Sunday’s n.ara-
thon in an attempt to win it
for the fifth time.

Rodgers had been in-
volved in a _ long-running
dispute with Fred Lebow,

head of the New York Road |

Runners Club and director
of the marathon, over the
conditions under which he
would enter the race. But he
apparently softened some of
his demands and settled m
time.

However, in the condition
he is in now, Rodgers does
not appear to present a
serious challenge to defend-
ing champion = Alberto
Salazar, who finished four
minutes ahead of Rodgers
last October and who is pre-
dicting a world record for
Sunday.

Rodgers had been doing
what he considers too much
competitive running recently
because of the uncertainty
about New York, and he
blamed Lebow for the delay.

“Tve got to be honest, I
don’t think I can give

The only apparent stipula-;
tions to Rodgers’ particip
