Osness to be on Olympic group
BY COURTNEY THOMPSON
Associate Sports Editor
As president-elect of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education of America, more Overseas soon become a member of the Commission on Olympic sports.
Oness, chairman of the department of Health, Physical Education Recretation at the University of Kansas, will become an official participant in the Olympic commission when he assumes the NASPE presidency Mar. 28.
Former President Gerald Ford started the commission and President Jimmy Carter is continuing it. The group consists of seven or eight persons not integrally involved in sports, Osness said. Most are legislators.
"The COMMISSION was created to bring some sense to the whole thing (Olympics)," Oursaid says. Its members are drawn from sports to make objective judgments."
ABC television news commentator Howard K. Smith is the chairman of the President's commission, whose purpose is to give athletics credibility. Results of this group's this group will be used by the President to make revisions in Olympic policies.
Possible subsiding of athletics preparing for Olympic competition similar to that of European countries should be considered, Oness said. He suggested that if this were the case, athletes' performances might improve substantially.
IT ALSO appears, he said, that a "super committee" would be recommended to establish policies for policing amateur sports in this country.
The group would be superior in authority to the NCAA, AAU, USTFF and other branch groups that support amateur athletic competition, Ossess explained.
"There is a fierce competition now between these suborganizations that needs to be eliminated if an athlete is to have a good opportunity to prepare for the Olympics."
Now an athlete can compete in a meet only if it is sanctioned by the amateur
Women's coach named to head All-Star team
Marian Washington, director of women's intercollegiate athletics at KU, has been selected to coach the East team in the first Kansas high school girls East-West All-Star basketball game. Washington also is KU women's basketball coach.
The game, sponsored by the Topena
school, is scheduled for March 18
at Waltham High in Topeka.
Judy Akera, women's basketball coach at
State University, will coach the
West team.
The teams will be selected by the Capital-Journal's sports staff, in the same manner as their All-State teams are chosen, Stan Gorczynski and the Capital-Journal staff member, said yesterday.
WILSON SAID the paper decided to sponsor the girls' game this year because past sponsorship of Kansas high school boys' All-Star football and basketball games had been successful. Proceeds from fund for Toeka's zoo to a development fund for Toeka's zoo.
The game won't be sanctioned by the Amateur High Activity Association, but the High School Athletic Association will.
"Nobody's eligibility will be affected, but we just won't have the stamp of approval on your resumes."
The two coaches were selected, Wilson said, because the Capital-Journal thought it would increase interest in the game. He said the coach had already been well respected around the state.
athletic association in which he holds membership.
"THIS COMPETITION between subgroups puts many athletes in an awkward position with the illogical sanctioning requirements," Oseness said. "And it stems from petty power struggles among the groups."
Oeness that substantial research was needed to straighten out the present situation and to promote amateur athletic competition on a "sane level."
one NASPE will recommend that research efforts be directed toward learning the correct way to train a potential Olympic athlete. Gauss explained:
“It’s one thing to say that a miler like Jim Ryan trains by running 150 miles a week. But do we automatically apply that rule to others who want to be a miler too? Obviously not.”
Oness said he also would recommend investigation into the advisability of international competition for potential Olympic athletes. He said that prohibiting such competition altogether wasn't the answer to all of this travel has proved embarrassing.
THE NASPE, through Omah, intends to encourage an increased research base concerning training methods, physiological effects of drug use and the effects of drug use on athletes.
NASPE is a national group of about 20,000 to 30,000 members. It is a division of a larger organization—the American Alliance of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, which has a membership of about 45,000.
NASPE isn't in the "business of competition." Owners said, but is a in-development project.
