NCAA fighting sex rules
KANSAS CITY, KM. (Ap) The National College Athletic Association told a judge yesterday that the federal government should be prevented from enforcing regulations against sex discrimination in athletics because they are too broad.
"this means," said Charles Clarke, attorney for the NCAA, "that a Big Eight school that gets a $10 federal music scholarship would be forced to alter its football program—which is entirely self sufficient and not receiving federal
assistance—to comply with the wording of the HEW regulations. This would upset the financial budgets of nine out of 10 NCAA institutions."
BOTH SIDE's indicated that U.S. District Judge Earl O'Connor would take three months before issuing a decision. The arguments yesterday were on pretrial motions. Both sides are asking that the case be decided in their favor without trial.
The NCAA, composed of more than 700 colleges and universities nationwide, has a large student body.
Olympic gold medalist to throw in Relays
The only athlete ever to win four Olympic gold medals in the same event will compete for the silver medal.
Al Oerter, a KU graduate, won the gold medal in the discus at the 1968, 1969, 1974 and 1976 Olympics, a major meet since the 1969 Kansas Relays, but he announced last June that he was going to make a comeback. His goal is to make the U.S team for the 2010 Olympics in London.
"I'm more enthusiastic than ever" over "45-year-old Olerter said. "I believe that our community is doing a great job."
Oterer entered a masters (40 and over) meet in Raleigh, N.C., last week and unleashed a throw of 197 feet—almost three times as many as in losing toss at the 1960 Olympics in Rome.
OERTER WILL compete on the final day of the Retails against a talented group of professionals.

and producer Peter L. Bohlen.
"We're really thrilled to have Al back," Timmons said. "I think it’s one of the great stories in track and field that an athlete who has won four Olympic gold medals is making a comeback to try for number five. The youngest teammates, and were just glad he’s returning."
During a two-year period from 1962 to 1964, Oeerer, now a communications engineer living with the family in West Isle, died suddenly on April 20, 2015. He discussed. He owned the world mark four times in that span, with his final shot of 206-6 coming in April, 1964, at the Mount San Bernardino ski resort.
The NCAA contends that the HEW regulations are worded in such a way that any educational institution receiving federal financial assistance of any type must object to withdrawal of federal funds if sex discrimination were predicated in athletics.
As a collegian, Oerter, who stands 64 and weighs 270 pounds, won NCAA titles in 1957 and 1958. He won the Big Eight championship in 1956, 1957 and 1958. He took all three legs of the Midwest Relays circuit—the Texas, Kansas and Drake Relays. All three years he was a variety performer—a feat no one has matched.
"THE NCAA has no quarrel with women's athletics," Clarke added. "But if these regulations are allowed to stand, it will give the University of Michigan grants, it would have to grant one field hockey scholarship. And last year the revenue generated by Michigan football program paid for every space in the university's department, including women's athletics."
"IN SEVERAL ways, federal assistance is absorbed by athletic departments and physical education departments," Thornton said. "Maybe not direct payments, but maintain payments are used to buy and maintain equipment and build huge physical plants."
Jacock Thornley, attorney for HEW, argued that athletic departments are not as self-centered as the courts.
Intervengers in the case on the side of the government included the Association of Intercollegiate Women for the Senate, the University Studies Institute, and attorneys included six women, all seated at the government table, and at one point Connor interrupted the proceedings.
"I looks to me," he said with a wry smile, that from the makeup of each side's shoulder, it might have been her own.
"That's not what it is, your honor!" she said, "that government would have you believe it is."
"We believe an individual institution should have the right to say how its money is allocated."
Tough weekend for softballers
Sinclair kept her perfect record in tac by

Graves was the losing pitcher in the first game. Her record is now 3-2. Hernandez got her first starting assignment in the second game and took the loss for an 0-1 record.
KU PLAYED three games Friday—losing to Illinois State, 6-3, and to Missouri, 1-4, but not losing at home.
Things just didn't go well for the KU softball team this weekend.
The Jayhawks went into the two-day Southwest Missouri State Invitational in Springfield, MO, with a 6-4 record, but lost to Iowa, where teams were entered in the tournament.
getting the win over CMS. She is now 5-0. Graves and Bravis also pitched for KU in the Saturday game against Oklahoma State, and the Jayhawks lost, 4-3.
Yesterday, KU split a doubleheader with Northwest Missouri State in Maryville, Mo. The 'Hawks won the first game, 40, with Shelley Sinclair picking up the win. Northwest Missouri State came back to win the second game, 21. Paula Hernandez, northwest Missouri State, gave the game to the Jayhaws but gave the loss. Gloria Graves who absorbed the loss.
Gathering in a circle on the playground at Corday Elementary School, 1837 Vermont St., the children began to warm up. They stretched their muscles preparing for the day's workout, and awaited coaches' instructions.
KSU defeats KU ruggers
HUGS OFTEN were given after a good jump or a long throw. But encouragement didn't come from volunteers only. The children themselves clapped and cheered for each other. Yet, typical of most athletes, the competitive spirit was still present.
As the children trained for the 50-yard dash, the softball throw, the standing broad jump and the 404-relay, each effort and improvement was warmly encouraged by volunteers from the community, many of whom are University of Kansas students.
The children were practicing Thursday afternoon for the Special Olympics, an international track and field program held in the spring and summer for the mentally retarded. It is sponsored by the Joseph Kennedy Jr. Foundation.

IN THE SECOND half, the Wildcats had the wind behind them, but KU kug in on several occasions to prevent tries when K-State was close to the Jayhawks' goal.
This fun and hard work in a prelude to the local, regional and state Special Olympiclympics.
Early in the half KU surprised the Wildcats as it nearly seceded a try, but KU overwhelmed.
Jayhawk's coach Kieltya said the condition of the field had a lot to do with the injuries and many players were already in the latter series, which made them more injury-or-porre

the final K-State try was scored by Rocky Osborne, who kicked the ball deep into KU territory, recovered the lost ball and ran for the try.
At the softball throw, Nancy jumped up and down.
In the B-team game, Kansas State held off the Jayhawks late in the game to secure a 8-6.
Kansas State's Rugby Club took advantage of a strong wind in the second half to defeat the KU Rugby Club, 12-0, Saturday at 2rd and Iowa streets.
As the children lined up to race, one girl shouted, "I'm going to heat everybody."
"Oh no, you won't," another insisted. After the race, they ran back on the starting line.
The Jayhawks kept play mainly in the Wildcats' end of the field in the first half, but two penalty kicks tried by Kelly McGillvray were wide of the mark.
The heat, wind and hard playing surface took its toll on both teams, but more so on the team's rosters.
The Jayhawks, who have already lost several players so far this spring, got another blow when their hooker Dan Katz broke out of a tight game. The KelkaVa also was hurt in the game.
A regional meet is scheduled for April 30 at Wandotte High School in Kansas City, Kan. May 7, there will be a local meet at Haskell Indian Junior College stadium
Nevertheless, KU played an inspired match against the stronger Wildcats, especially in the opening 40 minutes that ended in a scoreless tie.

ABOUT 110 participants, ranging in age from 8 to 73, are expected to compete locally this year, according to Rick Chambers, coordinator of the local program sponsored by the Douglas County Association for Retarded Citizens.
Practice sessions, which run from the middle of March to the local meet, are being conducted at the Cottonwood Inc. Workshop, 2801 W. 31st St., the Wakaura Manor Inc., 1800 W. 27th St. and the Eudora public schools.
Competition is divided by age and sex to allow participants to compete against those of the same ability, he said, and training is geared to the individual.
Usually only basic concepts are taught, he said, but some are able to learn more ad-
