Players still balk at owners' offer
NEW YORK (UPI) - With the new commissioner of baseball available for consultation, club owners and player representatives met today in another attempt to solve the dispute—which has delayed spring training and is posing a mild threat to the exhibition season.
Bowie Kuhn returned here from a Florida vacation, stating: "My place is in New York during this situation. I'm still of the opinion this dispute can be settled soon, but I'll remain in New York until it is."
Mediation and Conciliation Service offices will be Marvin Miller, the players' association executive director, and John Gaherin, the negotiator for the owners in the pension fund disagreement.
The crux of the problem, as always, will be money. The players had asked the clubs to contribute $6.5 million to the pension fund, and the owners had countered with an offer of $5.1 million. The players, through Miller, had scaled their demand down to $5.9 million, and, last Friday, the owners' counterproposal offered $5.3 million.

Most of you are probably familiar with the Land Rover—whether you know it or not. If you have ever watched "Wild Kingdom" or "Daktari," you have seen a Land Rover.
No, it's not an exotic African animal prowling about in the night. It's that overgrown Jeep all the big game experts drive.
Now the Land Rover has a civilized brother—the Rover 2000 TC. Both are built by Leyland Motor Sales, Inc. of Great Britain.
The best way to describe the Rover 2000 TC is as a compact.
Jayhawks climb to 14th spot
NEW YORK (UPI) Time is quickly running out for the frustrated field of challengers trying to overtake mighty UCLA in the race for honors as the nation's top-ranked major college basketball team.
The powerful Bruins, unbeaten in 22 games this season and seeking an unprecedented third straight NCAA championship, were a unanimous selection for the No.1 position in the United Press International ratings for the 12th successive week.
With only two more weeks remaining in the balloting, it appeared unlikely anyone would unseat the Bruins who have four more league games remaining before tournament time.
North Carolina, hoping for another crack at UCLA in the NCAA finals, regained the No. 2 ranking, moving past Santa Clara. The Broncos, who suffered their first loss in 23 outings-a 73-69 setback to San Jose State-slipped to third.
In another major change from the previous week, LaSalle (22-1), the top independent in the East, climbed to fourth—its highest ranking of the season.
Davidson (22-2) slipped one notch to fifth while Kentucky (17-3), carrying a two-game lead into the final week of the Southeastern Conference race, held the No. 6 position.
Purdue, shooting for its first Big 10 championship in 29 years, advanced to seventh. The Boilermakers have a 16-4 overall record. St. Johns of New York, once again cracking the coveted mark of 20 victories during a season, was ranked eighth followed by Villanova (19-4) and Duquesne (17-3).
League-leading Louisville of the Missouri Valley Conference moved into the No. 11 spot while South Carolina, expected to give North Carolina the biggest challenge in the Atlantic Coast Conference playoffs, was ranked No. 12.
New Mexico State (21-3) was ranked 13th followed by Kansas, Ohio State, Wyoming Drake, Boston College and New Mexico tied for 18th and Tulsa and Illinois tied for 20th.
Other teams receiving points in the balloting were Notre Dame, Weber State, Marquette, Tennessee, Columbia and Florida.

Luxury, in this case, deserves a paragraph of its own. From the leather upholstery covering the four bucket seats to the wood paneled dash, the Rover is first class all the way.
I have devised a rating system to be used in road tests, using excellent, good, fair, or poor categories for a car's features. The Rover does well.

VI 3-1211
ENGINE—excellent. It is a 120.8 CID OHC with twin SU HS8 carbs. It develops 124 B.H.P. at 5500 rpm. It travels 100 mph at 5000 rpm and red-lines at 6500.
So that, kiddies, is the Rover. Study the picture carefully, because you may not see too many of them around. The Rover is a rare animal, just like some you've seen on "Daktari" or "Wild Kingdom."
HANDLING-good. The Rover has worm and roller steering at a 20.3:1 ratio. The four wheel independent suspension gives it a minimum of roll (see photo).
APPEARANCE interior,
excellent; exterior, fair. From
OVERALL PERFORMANCE excellent. The Rover takes the curves like a smaller sports car, yet holds the road at 100 mph like a limousine. The gas mileage is good (about 20 mpg) for such a high performance engine.
the outside, it looks like a four-door economy import.
The interior, however, is a mixture of GT and luxury car. The dash is a highly functional and well-positioned scheme of instruments and controls.
C O M F O R T a n d R I D E -passenger and driver excellent. The ride is smooth and very quiet. The front buckets adjust to a full recline position, and, (believe it or not) there is leg room in the rear seats. The steering wheel is adjustable for any driver.
BRAKING—good. The four wheel discs assisted by two Lockeed type 7 servo units provide sure stopping. There is a handbrake pull-up lever mounted between the front seats.
