As Peter Finch and hundreds of viewers shouted in "Network," the movie about television, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!" Finch and extras were complaining about television, and rightly so. If one more televisor worker was sent by coach's press conference after a game blown in front of all, again I will hit his ulus.
Sportswriters are on deadline to the minute. When these electronic soap-selling servants stick their microphones and cameras in my line of sight, as they did at the NCAA games here, it really gets my Irish up.
Photographers share the irritation. They practically camp out before a game for a good courtside spot, only to have a wheeled floor camera abruptly move in front of their lens at the peak of an action shot. Sports have been around a lot longer with writers

than with the pesky electronic flaks who are virtual rookies on the sport scene.
KU'S BASKETBALL season is over, but Jayhawk coaches are still in the midst of a growing recruiting battle. Always appreciative of a short drive instead of a long flight, it's likely that Ted Owens, Bob Hill and Lafayette Norwood all will get to Topka Saturday for the Kansas Basketball Classic, a high school all-star game. This game features the state's top prep players. The team, with 13 recruited player in the state, will perform on the West squad. Ross, at 64 guard from Wichita South High, reportedly has

DRURY (MISSOURI) College won the NAIA basketball championship last Saturday in Kansas City's Kemper Arena. The team averaged约10,000 a day. Fans were treated to a crade dunk Friday night, but they didn't see at any Big Eight competition there.
KANSAS FANS should remember the Paulsen-64 year old Ray Meyer. Coach Meyer was last year in a Sunday loss to Oklahoma State, and he was not interviewed to interview. Prior to that game, the Notre Dame chaplain he prayed for an Irish victory, while the Paulden padre said he prayed for "the Lord's will to be done." This is one of the with the same chapel, in the Final Four.
LARRY BIRD, Indiana State's fowl that won't sing, said yesterday that after last Saturday's Sycamore victory over Arkansas, an excited fan wrenched his already aling thump. "I dropped him with a punch," the 6-9 forward said. It was a game where he came up about 30,000 paper napkins as content at Allen Field House during the NCAA games.
Speaking of Bird, I tried to get an interview with him when he was in town, promising that two tape recorders would be running during the session and he could keep one tape. He declined an evening of thinking about it. I did talk to him on the case. Trying to key on his past experience as a truck driver, I informed him that I too, drove a truck. "Hey man," Bird said, "that's part of life. So are basketball fans and sports writers."

Judge hears Big 8
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)--Attorneys for the Big Eight Conference and former Okahama State football coach Jim Stanley discussed alternatives for further action in the conference's investigation of Stanley District Judge Russell G. Clark yesterday.
The Big Eight was told it could either submit further evidence in its investigation of Stanley, or pursue a similar but separate investigation that would not involving Stanley, or possibly do both.
"We merely discussed some alternatives," Clark said. "There were no orders or ultiumtums issued. They may take one or the other, or another one, or all of them."
Yesterday's closed meeting was to discuss the need for further depositions in the case involving an alleged slush fund at the Stillwater school.
Clark issued a preliminary injunction in DeKalb County to continue the investigation into the alleged fund unless the conference allowed Stanley to confront his accusers and to cross-examine.
Stanley, now the defensive line coach for the New York Giants, contended the procedures used by the Big Eight in its victory violated his right of due process.
Mokeski to play
Kansas senior center Paul Mokosi isn't finishing played basketball.
The 7-1 Mokeski was selected to the West team for the annual Coaches' East-West All-Star Game March 23 in Salt Lake City. The team was coached by a vote of many of the nation's coaches.
On March 31, Mckeski will play under Abe Lemons, University of Texas Coach, in the fifth annual Pizza Hat Basketball Classic in Las Vegas. Mokeski received an at-large spot on the West squad, after failing to get enough votes for the regular selections.

KU's baseball team begins a seven-game home stand with a doubleheader against the Benedictine College Ravens at 1:30 this afternoon at Quigley Field.
The Jayhawks, 10-3-1, are coming off their best 14-game start since 1972, when they won by 8-5.

Leonard leads Royals to victory
From the Kansan Wire Service
FORT MYERS, Fla.—Reserves Jamie Quirk and Jim Guadet drove two in runs yesterday and Dennis Leonard pitched seven strong innings to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 9-2 exhibition victory over the Atlanta Braves.
Quirk, who went 3-for-10 to raise his spring average to .500, singled home a run in Kansas City's four-run second inning and his second double of the game produced another run in the seventh. Gaudet doubled home two runs in the eighth.

walks, was the loser, giving up five hits and
five runs in five innings.
Kansas City shortstop Fred Patek, who experienced pain in his back after a workout Monday, was sent to a chiropractor yesterday but the extent of his injury was not known. Kansas City outfielder Clint Hurdle wore glasses for the first time yesterday after discovering he is near-sighted in his right eye.

All or nothing for netters
Last week was a week of all or nothing for KU's women's team.
The Jayhawks posted a 4-2 record on their spring break tour. Five of those matches were won or lost by 9-4 scores.
SANDWICHED BETWEEN KU's losses was a 5-4 victory over Tulane.
It was all Kansas in the first three encounters. Memphis State, Southwestern Louisiana and Nichols State were the Hawks victims, each falling 8-1.
but against nationally ranked squads from Louisiana State and Northeast Louisiana it was KU who came away with justice. Jasmin 80-both times.
"Our scores were very even with them, although we didn't win any matches," KU coach Tom Kriste said yesterday. "Both those teams are ranked in the top in the country, with Northeast Louisiana breaking into the top 10."
The Hawks had _o face Northeast Louisiana without Carrie Fotopoulos, who moved into the No. 1 singles spot after the first three matches. However, Kivisto said, Kansas played a much stronger match against Northeast Louisiana than it had played against LSU the previous day.
Kiviste said he noted improvement in the team's doubles play, particularly with Fotopolos and Vatierie Block, the squad's top duo.
"We're starting to win two and three doubles every time out, whereas last year we were lucky to win one." Kivisto said.
