Rested 'Hawks Face Hot Huskers Tonight

Kansas Sports Writer
After a full week's rest, the University of Kansas returns to the Big Eight title battle.
KU has been idle since defeating Oklahoma in Lawrence last month. 98-80. Coach Ted Owens wasn't sure what effect the long lawff would have on the squad.
"There is no way to tell until we play."
Owens said yesterday. "Our practices have
"They've obviously been improving," Owens said. "They've won four of their last five and only lost by a point at Colorado. They say they've won at Colorado." He conference next to us and K-Site.
In an earlier meeting between KU and Nebraska, KU co-captain Kim Vikiste held Fort to 12 points. The 'Hawks won that game by a single point. Kim Vikiste will be assigned to stopping Fort.
Nebraska, which is basically a young team, has shown improvement in its recent games and has moved into fourth place in the Bue Eight standings.
Lee picked up the slack with 13 each.
"Kim Viotis has been simply tremendous," Owens said. "He has meant so much to this club I'm not sure you could ever begin to measure it, I don't know how a guard could be playing better than Tom is right now."
The two schools met one other time this year in the fifth place game at the Big Eight basketball tournament.
Last season Nebraska boat the 'Hawks three times, sweeping the season series for eight consecutive wins.
"Hawks win tonight, it will mark a reversal of last year.
Nebraska has usually been led by sophomore guard Jerry Fort, who has an 18.5 scoring average on the year. However, the Huskers displayed a balanced attack against Oklahoma State when Fort was held to four points, as Tom Novak and Brendy
The rivalry between the two schools has intensified in recent years since Jose Cipriano took over as the "Huskers' head coach." He has a secret of any secret of his delight in beating KU.
"It goes all the way back to when he (Ocriano) played for the University of Washington," Owens said. "KU beat them in the 1953 NCAA semi-finals. And also."

The Cornhuskers, meanwhile, played Saturday at home and beat Oklahoma State 71-43. The win boosted the Huskers' season to 12-10 and its conference record to 5-6.

earner this year, Don Fambrough said that a better recruiting year than in past years would be essential if the University of Kansas football team was to continue its newfound success in the Big Eight Conference.
Big Eight area a athlete has been signing letters-of- intent since Feb. 12 and Fambrigh recruiting has gone exceptionally well so far.
"We're real pleased with the ones we signed so far but it's not over yet," Fambrough said. "There are still some around that haven't signed but we're still recruiting."
Fambridge also said earlier that the emphasis of this year's recruiting would be
offensive and defensive linemen, running
tacks and possibly a quarterback or tuxe.
The linemen signed are: Mike Beal, Van Horn, Kansas City, Mo.; Mark Boyer, Montana; Brian McClary, kiewzc, Shawne Ward, Kansas City, Kan.; Jim Lob, Shawnee Mission South; James Emerson, Great Bend; Frank Osborn, West Elk; and Harry Murphy, Shawnee Mission
So far, Fambrough's prediction has been correct as seven linemen and five running backs have signed Big Eight letters-of-intent to attend KU.
The running backs signed are: Caleb Rowe, Leavenworth; Percy Battles, Wichita Southeast; Dinkie Topper, Wichita Southeast; Bill Carter, Skip Johnson and Skip Johnson, Shawnee Mission South.
“An athlete could sign with Big Eight and also sign with a school in the Southwest Conference,” Fambrough said. “The athlete will have to decide between the two when he signs a national letter of intent. That is the case that those that have signed with other schools.”
Fambrough said the purpose of the Big Eight letter was to protect one member school from another. He said an athlete could sign only one letter-of-intent in the Big Eight, but could sign with other schools in different conferences.
The fact that these athletes have signed with KU doesn't mean they are obligated to play.
The signing date for national letters-of-
entire is March 6 and Farnham said that
they would be ready by April 30.
A family spokesman said Hearst planned no further public comment until he received a new communique from the armed guard. "We have been informed," Hearst a "corporate enemy of the people."
At a news conference 15 miles north in San Francisco, Ludlow Kramer, secretary of state in Washington and organizer of the food giveaway, said, "Since high-quality food as outlined by the SLA demands are purchased by Thursday, we will not open."
The Randolph A. Hearst family continued its sense vigil with no word on whether the terrorist-demanded $6 million food handout would satisfy the Symbiontes Liberation Army which claims to hold Miss Hearst as a "prisoner of war."
Supply Problems Delay Giveaway
HILSBOROUGH, Calif. (AP) — Supply problems will delay the massive food giveaway at obtaining the release of Florida's Christmas Ornament, Victoria Hearst, it was announced yesterday.
"There is nothing for us to do. It is frustrating, just waiting," said Jay Bosworth, who had worked for the company.
He said he hoped the giveaway would resume Thursday.
Kramer said People in Need had to obtain more fresh meat and vegetables and more distribution sites before it could begin banding out food again.
duced from a Berkeley apartment Nov. 4.
The People in Need food giveaway, which
began Friday and was marred by violence
and arson, is still continuing and will
continue today. Thursday and Saturday.
Meanwhile, a statement by 13 Indian organizations said members would refuse to attend.
Despite the problems, 14,000 people have received free food, Kramer said. He said he hoped the Hearst money and donations would help to feed 100,000 needy Californians indefinitely.
"If People in Need were to proceed against the demands of the SLA at this time, we are convinced further disorders would occur and the SLA requirement of food distribution in a dignified manner would never be achieved," Kramer said.
Yesterday was the fifth day since the SLA oemanded that Hearst pump another $40 million.
Fambridge said the two separate signing dates caused many problems for recruiters. He said that even though a player had signed a conference letter, the school had to continue recruiting him until the national signing date.
"We will not be co-conspirators in extortion," Indian spokesman Adam Normdwall said. "Many Indian people are hungry and hungry." He said food free until Patricia Heart is released.
Hearst said the demand was beyond his personal means. But the Hearst Corp. offered to provide the additional $4 million if he would supply of California coed is released unharmed.
Initially, Hearst personally contributed $500,000 to the food program and $1.5 million came from the nonprofit Hearst Foundation.
"I'm in hopes that there will be one signing date in the future," he said. "Two things would help; just one signing date and another." He added that he helped greatly in cutting down expenses.
Pigege Maze, acting director of People in Need, reported that donations were pouring in.
Fambrough said the reason for the emphasis on running backs and linemen was because of the conversion to a new offense—the "Houston Veer."
Fambrough described the "Veer" as a well-balanced offense that was similar to the wishbone. He said the "Veer" would utilize the running and passing ability of Bruce Adams and the ability of Bruce Adams and Emmeline Edgards and the running ability of Robert Miller.
Topeka Daily Capital. The article was about Rich Jones, a former quarterback at KU. It appeared the same day as the Big Eight letters were to be signed.
Although it was designed to reveal the problems a highly sought recruit who didn't make it faces, it was viewed as harmful by the KU athletic department.
"I know nobody will believe it, but it's only one more year for me," the Post said Maravich told a writer after the Hawks' National Basketball Association game here Saturday night with the New York Knicks. Atlanta lost 98-90.
"It certainly didn't help in recruiting," rambridge said. "But it was very strangely a lack of confidence."
One negative aspect of this year's recruiting, Fambridge said, was an article that questioned whether the university is willing to accept them.
Maravich signed a multimillion dollar contract with the Hawks in 1970 after playing college basketball at Louisiana State, where he was a three-time All-American and led the nation's collegians in scoring each of his three varsity years.
"The response has been super," she said. "People from all over the country have been sending bread, milk, frozen food, money and love."
But the Post apparently didn't take Pistol Pete too seriously, saying that Maravich had one year left to play if "you believe what he said for an exhilarating 37-point performance."
NEW YORK (AP)—The New York Post, in its Monday editions, quoted Pete Maravich as saying he will quit basketball when his three-year contract with the Atlanta Hawks expires after the 1974-75 season.
Asked what he would do, Pistol Pete said:
"I'll take Jack Palance's place. I'm the villain. I'll make a great villain."

Maravich Yearns To Be a Bad Guy
Shell Oil Fails in Attempt To Disqualify Douglas
WASHINGTON (AP)—A major oil company sought and failed yesterday to dislodge Supreme Court Justice William O. Campbell from a case concerning natural gas regulation.
Shell Oil Co. asked Douglas to drop out of the case, or failing that, for his colleagues to take the unprecedented step of forcing him to disqualify himself because of a speech Douglas made, reportedly critical of oil and gas corporations.
The plea was rejected in a brief, routine order.
Shell's attempt to disqualify Douglas was prompted by a speech Jan. 28 at the University of Mississippi. Douglas was widely reported to have said that the oil companies generated the energy crisis in the interest of profit.
"Statements attributed to Mr. Justice Douglas, if in fact made by him, reflect such a point of view as to the oil and gas business, and impress such wrongdoing to them that, we submit, it would be highly improper for Mr. Justice Douglas to participate in this case." Shell had said.
The case in question involves Federal
Power Commission rate structure established in 1971 governing natural gas production in southern Louisiana, source of one-third of the nation's sunny.
In other actions the court refused to interfere with a lower court decision upholding the rule-making powers of the Federal Trade Commission.
The case arose out of a 1970 FTC ruling making it an unfair practice for a service company to use gasoline pumps. The National Petroleum Refiners Association challenged the regulation. The refiners said the FTC had violated their rights under state rules governing many types of business.
The court declined to hear a case in which a peace group said the FBI should be forced to purge its files of some information gathered in advance of 1969 antiwar demonstration. Lower courts ruled that the information was gathered by the FBI to determine the likely size of the demonstration, not to identify individuals.
The court also agreed to decide whether the federal government may continue its regulation of the sale of alcohol on privately owned land within Indian reservations.
