Hart arising as Reagan's foe Hart buries Mondale in Vermont; Reagan is ahead third win on road to nomination maintains Carter
By United Press International
Sen. Gary Hart buried Walter Mondale in a landslide in Vermont's non-binding primary yesterday, grabbing his third straight victory in the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.
With 97 percent of the 264 preclines reporting at 11:30 p.m. CST, Hart had 49,213 votes or 71 percent, Mondale 14,273 or 20 percent and Jesse Jackson 5,465 or 8 percent. Even though Reubin Askew dropped out of the race last week, he still got 415 votes, less than 1 percent of the total.
Campaigning in Florida, Hart noted that in Vermont a lot of Republicans apparently crossed over to vote for him and he said that meant he could beat Ronald Reagan in November.
"I believe the result in Vermont shows this campaign does have a chance to reach out beyond the Democratic Party to expand the frontiers of our party and to expand the electoral base of our party." Hart said. "I intend to defeat Ronald Reagan."
MONDALE STILL LED in the battle for delegates to the Democratic National Convention. He had 132 to 29 for Hart. Many of Mondale's delegates were House members picked earlier this year to go to the convention and they could change their pledges.
Mondale dismissed the Vermont results, saying, "We were not really contesting Vermont. No delegates were being selected in the contest."
HART'S STUNNING Vermont victory — his most impressive to date — gave the Colorado senator a clean sweep in northern New England over the past eight days.
Hart was favored to score another victory Saturday in Wyoming, a friendly western state adjacent to his home state of Colorado.
There was already indication that Hart's building momentum and Mondale's failure to
That would mean he would be building on a string of four consecutive wins going into Super Tuesday, March 13, when 11 jurisdictions hold primaries and caucuses to pick 511 delegates.

WASHINGTON — Jimmy Carter said yesterday that President Reagan would win if the 1984 election were held today but the Democrats "have a good chance" in November if they can overcome his charm, dramatize the issues, and unite for the first time in 20 years.
"Today, I think President Reagan would win," the former president said.
- He opposed sending U.S. Marines to Lebanon from the very beginning, because embracing President Amin Gemayel was "a political kiss of death" to chances for a Lebanese
But, Carter said, "I think the Democrats have a good chance provided we can delineate the issues and overcome this personal attractiveness of President Reagan, and provided we have a unified Democratic Party."
Among Carter's observations on other foreign and domestic issues:

BEIRUT, Lebanon — President Amine Gimaly yesterday formally invited Lebanon's factional leaders to meet in Switzerland next month, saying a country split by nine years of civil war.
Beirut radio said invitations went to leaders of Lebanon's fractured political and religious communities asking them to meet Monday in Lausanne, a Swiss resort.
But scattered clashes in Beirut and the nearby hills threatened a truce that took effect when Gamayel gave in to Syrian and rebel Muslim demands and escaped the cramped the May 17 defense accord with Israel.

Topeka man dies of a heart attack at Haworth Hall
By the Kansan Staff
One of Engle's co-workers said Engle was standing on a ladder installing aluminum door frames on the south side of the addition. Shortly before 3:30 p.m., Engle climbed down the ladder, sat on a sawhorse inside the addition and collapsed, he said.
A Topeka construction worker died of a heart attack yesterday afternoon while installing door frames on the second floor of the Haworth Hall addition.
Engle was employed by Forman and Ford, a Des Moines, Iowa, glass company doing some of the work on the addition.
Paramedics and police continued CPR for about 45 minutes. They also gave him an intravenous injection and administered debrillation.
An ambulance was called at about 3:30 p.m. When it arrived, KU police officers were administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Engle's son Thomas, Lawrence senior, was walking by Haworth Hall when he saw an ambulance, a police car and a small group of people looking at the part of the building where he knew his father was working.
Bill Engle, 56, was pronounced dead on arrival at Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 4:45 p.m.
Engle said that at one point his father's heartbeat was revived but that it was very irregular and weak. Paramedics and police brought Engle's father out of the building on a stretcher with a machine pumping his heart at about 4:30 p.m.

Women's basketball seeks more visibility
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Writer

Exposure. That's a word frequently used by women's basketball coaches in the Big Eight Conference when talking about changes that have taken place in their game this year.
Exposure the key for Big 8 coaches
Exposure also describes the motive behind the changes The coaches have reasoned that by making the women's game more visible to the public, the game will be accepted more quickly.
The coaches have scheduled most of their conference games this year as doubleheaders before or after the men's conference games. This has been done in the past, but not with the regularity of this season.
The Big Eight women's teams didn't even play a regular home-and-away schedule until last year, and only six of the teams last year played a full conference conference teams played a full home-away schedule.
Kansas women's coach Marian Washington said that the conference coaches took it upon themselves to coordinate a schedule coinciding with the men's games as a way of increasing attendance.
THE COACHES EXTENDED their opportunity for recognition when they succeeded in getting the women's Big Eight Post-Season Tournament moved to Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mia., site of the men's tournament.
The tournament was originally scheduled for Ames, Iowa, but the conference faculty representatives and athletic directors voted at their December meeting to move the tournament.
First-round games in the women's tournament will be played tonight on the home courts of the top four finishes in the regular season. The games will start at 6 p.m. and the team's team does not play at home, or at 3:30 p.m., if it does.
The semifinals at Kemper will be played at 1:30 and
3:30 p.m. Friday. The final will be played at 3:30 p.m.
Saturday. If the men's final is moved to Sunday, the women's final will be played at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
"I would have preferred to have alternating men's and women's games for the semifinals," Kansas State coach Lym Hickey said. "But we have to take things one step at a time." He said in an interview with Big Eg. We'll have to see first how this works out.
Hickey's team is the only one in the conference that hasn't scheduled regular men's and women's double-headers this year, but she said that was because Kansas State had a different situation than the seven other pbwls.
"We have such a small building that we can't handle both the men's crowd and our crowd." Hickey said. "We have a better support base than other schools that haven't built up the following that we have. Also, the men's team has a junior varsity, which traditionally plays before or after the men's game."
Nebraska coach Kelly Hill said that men's and women's doubleheaders helped the schools who hadn't had large crowds at their women's games in the past.
"The media covering the men's game might catch the end of our game and notice us more." Hill said. "It's really important to me, but I don't care."
In another move aimed at giving the women's game more visibility, the Big Eight Service Bureau has started publishing weekly statistics, standings, and press releases for women's basketball.
NOW THAT CHANGES have been made to give the women's game more exposure, conference coaches would like to see changes that would improve the quality of the women's game.
"Right now, the coaches feel the weakest aspect of our game is the officiating." Washington said. "Our game's much quicker now, and the officials are keeping up with it." They say the team must be up with some kind of system to train and assign officials."
Maxey said the conference staff was looking into the possibility of hiring a coordinator to supervise the training, evaluation, and assigning of officials, as for the men's game. Their findings will be presented to the conference faculty representatives and athletic directors at their meeting this weekend.
The individual schools are currently responsible for assigning officials, Maxey said. The schools choose from a list of 30 officials, which was compiled at the beginning of the season.
THE PROBLEM IS that each school can only hire officials from its own area because it can't pay enough to cover expenses for an official coming from outside its area.
Another possible change being talked about by the coaches but not so roundly favored is a proposal to make the ball smaller for women.
"I think the objection people may have to it is based more on personal pride than fact. The fact is that a woman's hand is smaller on the average than a man's."
"Basketball is the only sport I know of that doesn't adjust the size of its equipment for women." Washington said. "The women's shot put and discus in track and field are smaller, for instance.
"Wilson makes a smaller ball that was used in the Women's Professional Basketball League when it was operating, and the size difference was barely visible, but you could not tell the difference on turnovers and made much better."
the ball is hitting the net, Hill said. "The ball was designed for the men's game. I think a smaller ball would add something to our game. It sounds like a positive thing to me."
Oklahoma coach Maura McLugh and Missouri coach Joan Rutherford also said they were in favor of a smaller ball, but Hickey and Iowa State coach Deb Oing said they would prefer waiting a few years before considering it.
Regardless of what changes are made, women's basketball coaches in the Big Eight appear to believe in their product and hope that others will accept it alongside the men's game.
