THIS EVENING...
By Roy Miller
"My daddy, who is a presacher, once told me that if I could ever get a job using my mouth, and make money at it, I'd have it made."
Tom Hedrick, director of the KU Sports Network and the speaker above, apparently has "it made."
The radio announcer and KU soccer coach was named today as Kansas' Outstanding Sportscaster of the Year. His selection by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association marked the third time in four years Hedrick has received the honor.
FOR THOSE who feel compelled to reach for the telephone to congratulate Hedrick: Don't! He's in Hutchinson today as the voice of the National Junior College Basketball Tournament Network.
Hedrick started his broadcasting career in Lawrence at KLWN where he covered Lawrence High School football and the KU Relays. While he was working toward his master's degree in radio-television at KU from 1956 to 1958, he assisted Monte Moore, his KU Network predecessor.
The following two years, Hedrick was sports director of KOCA, Kilgore, Tex., and KWBW, Hutchinson.
Kilgore, Tex, and KWBW, Hutchinson. He also covered games of Kansas' last professional baseball team, the Topeka Reds for KJAY in Topeka.
AS PART of his honor as being named as the state's leading sportscaster, Hedrick will attend the National Sportscaster and Sportswriters Convention April 6-7 at Salisbury, N.C.
Hedrick says talking comes naturally for him.
Hedrick, one of the best skilled announcers in the area, covers so many—and varied—sporting events, fellow sportswriters and announcers wonder what he'll promote next.
I KEEP wondering when he'll cover a soccer match or a gymnastics meet plav-by-play.
I still remember the warm September afternoon two years ago when Hedrick, engineer and broadcasting equipment occupied a balcony of a Stouffer Place unit.
Hedrick was on the spot to cover the annual intrasquad football scrimmage. Unfortunately, the scrimmage was transferred to Memorial Stadium at the last minute.
It took Hedrick a while last fall to learn how many persons comprise a soccer team.
Reinstatment No Surprise To Packers' Paul Hornung
By Oscar Fraley UPI Sports Writer
MIAMI — Paul Hornung wasn't particularly surprised when the news came to him and he and Alex Karras had been reinstated by National Football League Commissioner Pete Rozelle after a year's suspension on gambling charges.
"It's wonderful news, of course," said the Green Bay Packer halfback. "But we met with Rozelle 10 days ago and I suspected the suspension would be lifted."
So did everybody else because the general feeling was that if all facets of the case had been revealed and there was no reason to suspect that they weren't, then the period in sackeloth and ashes without any time limit seemed pretty strong stuff.
HORNUNG AND Karras, the massive Detroit Lion tackle, were simply doing what comes naturally. Everybody bats on his own horse
This is not to condone a pro griller in making a wager on his own team. The rules say you can't, so you don't. Hornung and Karras admitted they did.
Their sin in the eyes of the NFL had to do with the size and the consistency of their betting, plus association with certain sordid citizens.
Karras first admitted that he had wagered on games but subsequently said he never bet "more than a pack of cigarettes or a couple of cigars." Rozelle's investigation showed that he had placed "at least six significant bets" on NFL games.
THERE WAS no evidence he ever had bet against his own team. Nor had Hornung. But Rozelle charged that Karras had met individuals described by police as "known hodlums" and he "continued associating with these individuals after learning of their backgrounds and habits."

OKLAHOMA CITY —(UPI) —The national collegiate wrestling tournament, which begins Thursday in Ithaca, N.Y. has been practically an Oklahoma institution right from the start.
The NCAA meet has been held 33 times and Oklahoma State has won 23 team championships—including the first one, in 1928. The University of Oklahoma has won six times. That leaves only five years that either the Cowboys or the Sooners have not prevailed.

Three Iowa teams—Iowa State, Iowa Teachers and Cornell—each captured one title, as did Penn State and Indiana. Penn State in 1953 was the last non-Oklahoma team to turn the trick. Oklahoma won last year. Oklahoma State took the title the two previous years, scoring a record 82 points in 1961 and equaling that in 1962. Oklahoma won in 1960 after two more Oklahoma victories, and so on.
