(AP) The president of Florida State University, while publicly expressing support for football Coach Darrell Mudra, secretly sanctioned an alumni scheme to oust the coach, the Orlando Sentinel Star reported in its Sunday editions. The newspaper quoted three informed sources as saying Florida State President Stanley Marshall met secretly with Tallahassee attorney James Smith, a leader of the dump-Mudra movement, on or about Dec. 15 to talk about getting rid of the coach. At the meeting, the Sentinel story by columnist Larry Guest said, Marshall commissioned a plan to raise 5110,000 to buy up Mudra's contract and hire a new coach. At the same time, however, Marshall was denying reports that Mudra was on his way out.

eWithin two weeks of the reported meeting with Marshall, Smith had raised nearly $96,000 and Mudra was fired. The unidentified sources were quoted as saying shall, for weeks prior to the Smith meeting, had been privately criticizing Mudra's tactics and philosophies. The Sentinel report said Marshall was principally motivated by Mudra's sharp rebuff of the president's suggestion that the Seminole team take to the field following the final home game of the season and spell out the word "T-H-A-N-K-S" as a show of appreciation for the school band and booster club. The Sentinel said Marshall made the suggestion to Mudra in a letter, and Mudra replied in a subsequent letter saying that he didn't feel sorry for the band since it had more pieces than the Oklahoma or Florida bands and had made a trip to the Middle East. Marshall and Mudra confirmed writing the letters, although Mudra said that if he had it to do over again, "I wouldn't have written the letter," the Sentinel said.

The newspaper said Marshall couldn't be reached for comment about the reported meeting with Smith. AUSTLV, Tex.

Miss Evert sprayed precision shots all over the court, which her friend, a muscular lefthander, simply did not have the speed to reach.

"I wasn't really at my peak, I think," the 19-year-old Miss Hamill said of her final four- minute routine.

Her exhibition, which included a pair of triple jumps, won her a standing ovation. When the judges scored her fractionally lower than Miss Hamill, the spectators booed loudly.

The Jasper defense kept the 6-foot-5 All-American forward away from the basket early in the contest, and his outside shot was consistently short.

It was the Notre Dame bench that provided the difference, outscoring the Manhattan reserves 41-2.
