A woman's place not in men's locker room
A recent survey by the Associated Press shows that women sports writers will be allowed inside most major league baseball locker rooms this season.
Following the urges of baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn, most of the teams contacted in the random survey said they would allow any properly-credentialed reporter into lockers without any time restrictions.
Some plan to use the locker room for
on a brief period after games and then
go home.
It's easy to see why Kuhn told ballclubs to authenticate "identical access in one way or another."
In the light of a September court decision, he had little choice. A district court judge ruled in that case that a New York Yankees policy banning women reporters was unconstitutional. The action was instigated by Melissa Louke Lincoln, a writer for Sports Illustrated.
HENCE THE opening of many lockers this season. No one likes lawsuits.
SIDELINER
Dressler
But the Yankees and the other major league team or an team, for that matter, are all likely to be women to a male dressing room. It makes about as much sense as allowing men into a home office.
There's no reason why players can't step outside the dressing room to answer questions. In fact, I've found coaches and players willing to do that.
Many writers will argue that a locker room is the best place to talk to a player right after a game, but it is still fresh in his mind and he's in an athletic atmosphere. But it's not the only way to get quotes from plavers.

**IN AN ATMOSPHERE** that removes them from the jock talk and distractions they can get from their cell phone. They are more likely to listen and think about what is being asked anyway. And if they won't talk outside a locker room, are they aren't talking inside it either.
lockers just as women should be allowed in female lockers. And each respective sex knows the frustration of watching their counterparts walk into a locker they cannot
An interview room is just as good a place to talk to players and coaches. Any writer who uses denial to a locker room as an employee of the enterprise it takes to be a good reporter.
BUT THE MOVE to integrate lockers takes a popular movement for equal rights a step too far. It's questionable that the reason behind it is always improved sports uniforms.
Men definitely should be allowed in male
Women can cover men's sports. Female sporters editors are becoming more common. And they do their jobs and do them well by standing on cruisers to get inside men's lockers.
Grid star Haves sentenced
DALLAS (UPT)—Convicted on cocaine distribution charges, former Dallas Cowbies wide receiver Bob Hayes was ordered yesterday to spend five years in the state prison despite pleas from prominent sports figures.
Hayes was allowed to remain free until the formal sentencing order was filed by the judge.
Cowboys quarterback Rick Staubach was among those asking District Judge Richard Mays to spare him from the death penalty, a judge said. Hayes to two five-year prison sentences and a seven-year probated sentence on related drug charges. Hayes was convicted of the crime.
spend five years in prison when he is released earlier because of good behavior
THE JUDGE ordered that the sentences be served concurrently, meaning Hwys will
Staunach told the judge Hayes should not be sent to prison. He said that Hayes was a citizen with good potential but that he had been involved in a group of people who were a bad influence.
Stauchaud he believed in the former Olympic gold medalist or he would not have testified in his favor. A Dallas broadcast also testified in favor of lenency for Haves.
Hayes' attorneys said they were disappointed with the sentence and had not yet decided to appeal. They would meet with the lawyer, but not with the lawyers said, before making a decision.
Hayes was arrested by police during a raid at his north Dallas apartment last year.

Spartans go into seclusion
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Coach Jud Heathcoe and his Michigan State Spartans fled to Salt Lake City a day early to escape the hoopla and attention that comes with in the NCAA's basketball Final Four, but Ray Meyer is living every minute of it.
"We've never been to the Final Four, as far as I know," the DePaul coach said this week from his office in Chicago. "But I've never experienced anything like this before. I've had people come into the house at 8 a.m., follow me around all day to see what I do."
DePaul, Indiana State and Penn were all expected in Salt Lake yesterday to begin preparations for tomorrow's semifinal game. DePaul won against Penn at 1:45 p.m. and DePaul and Indiana State at 4:15 p.m. But Michigan State, the tournament winner, hit town Wednesday.
"We ARE OUT here to get away from all the distractions surface at this
time," Heathcote said in a telephone interview with the other three coaches. Headcote has closed his practices and will be back on the media until after their game tomorrow.
Although he hates being cast as the favorite, Heattec says Michigan State, led by playmaker Earvin Johnson and high-flying forward Greg Kelzer, has the best players.
"I honestly think we're the best team," he said. "But in a tournament it's not how good you are, it is how good you're playing. I can't handle them well." With a 32-4 record, having been ranked No. 1 for six or seven weeks, and suddenly we end up being the favorite, I can't understand
Indiana State probably doesn't understand it either, but the much-maligned Sycamores are getting used to it. They've been wearing a car as a one-man team with a patsy schedule.
Gura pitches KC victory
Gura gave up five hits and struck out three in picking up the victory. Free agent Eduardo Rodriguez picked up the save by allowing only a walk in the final two innings.
Jim Clancy took the loss for Toronto. Clancy worked six innings, giving up four runs on six hits. Mike Willis, Mark Willey and David Robinson each pitched an inning of hitters relief.
DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP)—Larry Gura worked seven innings and Bob Robertson hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning as the Kansas City Royals downed the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 in an exhibition baseball game yesterday.
The loss dropped Toronto's record to 6-7.
Kansas city is 7-6.
Otto Velde had a solo hero for Toronto in the second inning, his fourth homer of
