Lawrence Legion pitcher Steiner signs letter of intent with Kansas By MIKE BRENNAN Sports Writer Brian Steiner, a highly recruited American Legion pitcher for the Lawrence Legion Hawks, signed a letter of intent yesterday to attend Kansas next year. Steiner had been recruited by head baseball coach Marty Pattin for the last three years, and Steiner chose KU over Arkansas and Kansas State. Pattin was more than delighted to have Steiner sign with the Jayhawks and thinks Steiner's signing is a major step in improving the KU baseball program. "I'm really just tickled." Pattin said. "I'm dedicated to work with him a lot. He's a very talented teacher." he didn't like head coach Gary Vaught. He liked Arkansas, but he said it was too far away. Steiner said he didn't like K-State because "MY PARENTS CAN now watch me play," Steiner said. "I wanted to let my baseball decide where I wanted to go. I didn't think I was going to be a Jayhawker." Last summer, Steiner attended the summer baseball camp Pattin conducted and was really impressed with Pattin. While playing in a soccer league, he began to admire Pattin even more. "Marty was honest, and I like that," Steiner said. "He told me that I could come in and throw right away. I like to pitch as much as I can." Last season, Stocker compiled a 10-record with the Legion Hawks. The Legion Hawks won the N.F.L. Championship.

Kansas also signed Jarrett Boesench, a 6-foot, 178 pound catcher who attends PATTIN SAID THAT STEINER had a live fastball and a good curve ball and that he would have to work with Steiner on developing a change-up. "He's a battler on the mount," Pattin said. "He's a very aggressive type pitcher." Paper says Lee, Bedford broke rules By United Press International MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Metro Conference confirmed Monday it had notified the CAA of possible violations concerning St. Louis football players Keith Lee and William Bedford. The conference learned of the possible violations through the MSU athletic department. Metro Conference commissioner Steve Hatchell said in Atlanta. Lee reportedly worked sporadically in a pawn shop owned by Nick Belisimo, a Tiger booster who donated at least $5,000 to the athletic program. The NCAA prohibits players on athletic scholarships from working during the school year. Belisimo, who traveled as a guest of coach Dana Kirk to post-season tournaments, testified earlier this month before a federal grand jury that is investigating alleged bookmaking operations in Memphis and Jackson. Tenn. THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL newspaper said Lee worked occasionally at Crossstown Loans. The newspaper also said Billy Murphy, former athletic director and an agent for the Nathan Lea Company, worked part-time at another shop owned by Belisom, Nathan's Leo Office. The possible infraction concerning Bedford stemmed from his use of a 1983 Jaguar owned by Ricky Allen, vice president of a firm that has served as a member of the Memphis State athletic program. NCAA rules forbid players from borrowing cars from booster because it is not a benefit (b) Bedford was involved in an auto accident in the Jaguar April 20, when he was cited for driving without a license. On April 3, he was ticketed for speeding 50 mph in a 40 mph zone in a 1985 Lincoln. Records showed it was owned by Airport Rental. HE WAS ALSO ticketed last November for driving 45 mph in a 35 mph zone. At that time, he was driving a 1984 Chevrolet Corvette, which is owned by Chuck Hutton Chevrolet. Both Airport Rental and Chuck Hutton Chevrolet have donated money to MSU. But officials at the companies said they were driving cars registered to their businesses. MSU athletic director Charles Cavagnoar said he would investigate the incidents and report them to Carpenter, who would forward them to the NCAA. "A report has been given to the conference commissioner." Cavagnao said. "Basically that report is an informational thing. We are aware of what was reported in the newspaper." Wisconsin dominates at Midwest crew races The KU crew team finished ahead of the pack in two races this weekend in the Midwest Rowing Championships in Madison. Wis. The men's varsity lightweight eight outreward Notre Dame in minutes. 15.5 seconds to capture the Goodman's Cup. The men's freshman-novice lightweight eight edged out Minnesota with a time of 62.72 to take first in that division. "Both teams were expected to do well because they had done well all season." Libby Elliot, women's crew coach, said. "Even though they had practically no competition all year, they still pushed and raced well this weekend." Competition around the Midwest region has been a problem for KU all season long. "WE RACE THE same people every week, and it's just not a challenge after a few." Kansas did face some tough competition this weekend. Libby Elliot said Wisconsin clearly finished first, with Purdue, Minnesota and Kansas close behind. Kansas has had a crew team for five years. Wisconsin had quite a head start on the Jayhawks, gliding through the waters of Wisconsin for nearly 100 years. "The monetary support that the Wisconsin crew team receives — the indoor rowing tanks and video tape machines — this all makes a difference," he said. "Even the team members' travel is paid for."

USFL to move to fall; Bandits pull out By United Press International TEANECH, N.J. — The owners of USFL teams agreed Monday to stick with their decision to move their season to the fall in 1966, but Tampa Bay Bandits owner John Bassett said he would withdraw his team to form his own league In a meeting that lasted nearly eight hours, the owners voted 12-2 to proceed with the move originally approved fast. August 7 was the deadline. Dog Doug Shedding coat dissenting votes. "The meeting was extremely cordial and productive." "All but two owners reaffirmed a move to the fall in 1986. One of the teams announced it will withdraw from the league. John Bassett Enterprises will try to put together a multi-sport league that includes spring football. 'Bassett plans to establish a league that would continue to play play football, basketball and softball.' "It was a business-like and productive meeting," USFL Commissioner Harry Ushen said. "The first issue that was decided was the spring-fall question that has been ballyhooed around in the print and electronic media. the NFL's Broncos in the fall, is uncertain of his franchise's future. SPEEDING SAID."I have a little different "I'm not going to sit back and be told what to do," said Basset, who stuck by his previously announced intention to buck the move to the fall. "The reason I got into this business was because he doesn't cover spent too much money and couldn't cover their expenses with spring revenues." Basset was he going to do what he's done for three years - run a spring football New Jersey Generals, owner Donald Trump, who engineered the plan to move the government from the state to New York, said on Tuesday. "IM NOT SURPRISED by anything John does." Trump said of Bassett. "Then again, version of his cardinal means 'I'm going to take a long look at what John's going to do' he was in the World Football League and that wasn't very successful. I've never been associated with anything that is not 100 percent successful." The owners also reaffirmed their commitment to fund the ownerless Los Angeles franchise from the league's coffers and agreed to allow financially-billed Birmingham to defer payments until 1986. Each team received $20,000 to support the Express this year. Included in the fall 1986 season will be the Chicago Blitz, an original USFL team that disbanded before the 1983 season.

'Though the final field will not be officially determined until Thursday, when owners must pay $10,000 entry fees, it was fairly certain yesterday that no more than 15 horses would start the 111th Run for the Roses. 'The owner and trainer of one of those potential starters, Derby Trial winner Cremie Even if he does start, the field, limited by rule since 1975 to the top 20 3-year old money-menners, would be the smallest since Genuine Risk defeated 12 challengers in the 106th Derby. Hall of Famer Woody Stephens, trainer of both creme Frache and Lexington Stakes winner Stephan the Odyssey, cited the economy as the reason for the smaller field. AFTER THE 1983 Derby, the fees for running a throughbred in the first jewel of the Triple Crown were raised from $10,200 to $16,500. To pass to pass the entry gate and $10,000 to pass "Before," Stephens said, "some people would run just to say, 'I ran in the Derby,' and there were horses that didn't belong. It's a lot of money just for a race." Churchill Downs officials said that was one reason they had increased the fees, which totaled just $2,200 in 1972. Horsemen agree that a race is truer and more competitive with a smaller field. That also is the reason the track wrote the 20-horse-maximum rule in December 1974 after a record field of 23 ran in that year's Derby. In 1981, a couple of owners found a loophole, later closed by track officials, and successfully sued; 21 horses ran in that But a more natural process also has helped winnow the field to less than 20 this year. "IT'S BECAUSE THEERE are a lot of quality horses. Did you see (favorite) Chef's Crown's last race?" referring to Reserve, referencing Chef's Crown's 5.1-mile length Blue Grass win Charlie Rose, assistant trainer of likely second favorite ProudTrouth, said, "It is probably because there are about eight horses that have a genesis shot at winning. If they lose you might take on one or two of them in a race, but you wouldn't take on all of them." Trainer J.J. Sarner, for example, decided against running Jim Beam Stakes winner Banner B罗, who stood sixth on the earnings list, after he finished third in the Blue Grass. THE TRAINERS AND owners of three other top money winners Right Con, Dusty's Durby and Pancho Villa also had their names after the horses fared poorly in recent Derby preps. Though Rose declined to name the eight he believed could win the race, the consensus among trainers and turfwriters is that a number of solid horses, besides Chief's Crown and Proud Truth, have legitimate chances. Injuries are keeping the Surir and Clever Allemont out of the Derby. They are Gotham and Wood Memorial winner Eternal Prince. Garden Stakes champion Spend A Buck. Arkansas Derby winner David Brewster. Mississippi Everglades winner Roman Rule. Rhoman Rule trainer Angel Ponna Jr., said those horses have beaten the other ↑ He said. "You know you can't keep running into a brick wall.
