Earle Frye, director of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, Tallahassee, says that "Florida certainly will defend the point system for duck hunting" if the system is challenged in federal court as expected. Elvis J. Stahr, National Audubon Society president, has notified Acting Secretary of Interior D. Kent Frizzel that Audubon is unhappy with the point system after this management procedure over a trial period of seven years, and will take action in the courts to eliminate it in future years. Stahr's action was taken in early November, 1975, prioi- to the opening of the current waterfowl season (to continue through January 20 in Florida) but did not join other groups in court action at the time in order "to avoid inconvenience and confusion such last minute effort to knock the props out of the upcoming season would Charles H.

Callison, executive vice president of Audubon, said, however, that "at the same time, this has in no way dissuaded us from undertaking to eliminate the point system in future The practice (which is a state option) is in effect in 28 states of the Nation. Reportedly, many of these states also intend to defend the point system if court action is brought about by Audubon as expected. Simply stated, the point system prescribes that a bag limit of 100 points is reached when the last duck taken (added to the sum of other birds already taken) totals or 100 points. Identifiable ducks in flight are assigned different point values, ranging from 10 points each, upward to 25 points and through 70 to 100 points, depending upon how rare the birds may be. Under the point system, a hunter may shoot 10 ducks if he selects the abundant species, as compared to the "old system" which limits the daily bag to four ducks only, regardless of the species taken.

Dr. Frye stated in a letter to the News-Herald, dated December 23, that, "Florida certainly will defend the point system" if court action is brought about as exiX'Ctcd. The full context of Dr. Frye's letter follows: "Under the point system the hunter who learns his ducks and picks out the low point ducks, such as pintail, gadwell and teal, will get better hunting than the individual who simply says 'A duck is a duck', and shoots anything that comes into range. "There have been species restrictions, such as on wood ducks, ever since I can remember," Dr.

Frye wrote, "but all of them were negative. "The old system said, for example, that you can shoot four ducks only two of which can be wood ducks, and only one of which can be a redhead. "The new point system says you can shoot from one to 10 ducks only if you shoot a rare bird but 10 if you select the species that are abundant. "We highly favor the point system," Dr. Frye said firmly, "and certainly will do what we can to keep it." As announced repeatedly, the waterfowl season for taking ducks and coot will continue in Florida through January 20.

Fulvous tree duck, can- vassback and redhead duck are 100 point ducks. The season on canvassback and redhead is closed in Florida, except in designated areas only. Hen mallard, mottled duck, black duck, wood duck and hooded mergansers are 70 point ducks. All other sexes and species of ducks (not listed either above or below) are 25 point ducks. Ten point ducks are blue-winged teal, green-wing teal, pintail, gadwell, shoveler and scaup; and all sea ducks and mergansers, except hooded merganser.

Marchibroda NFL Coach Of Year SEnS-UERALD, I'aiiaina City, Sunday, January I'age ac NEW YORK (AP) Ted Marchibroda, the low-keyed, first-year leader of the Baltimore Colts who directed one of the most remarkable turnarounds in sports history, was named National Football League Coach of the Year overwhelmingly Saturday by The Associated Press.

Marchibroda, who took a team that shared the NFL's worst record in 1974 at 2-12 and molded it into the champion of the American Conference East with a 10-4 mark this year, received 51 of the 78cast by a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters. Bum Phillips, the first-year coach of the resurgent Houston Oilers was runner-up with 12 votes, followed by Miami's Don Shula with six. The remaining votes went to Dallas' Tom Landry with four, Sg t. Louis' Don Coryell with three and Minnesota's Bud Grant with two. The 44-year-old chibroda was hired by Colts' General Manager Joe Thomas last Jan.

15 after 14 years as an assistant coach, the last nine with George Allen with both the Los Angeles Rams and Washington Redskins. "I try to be myself and not anyone else I've coached for," says Marchibroda, who says he "learned the X's and O's" from some of the Veteran players and coaches when he was offensive backfield coach at Washington under Bill McPeak. "I learned organization, how to put in long hours, frotn Allen," he says, stressing that his own players "are also willing to work e.xtra hours. The total thing is good team preparation." In his playing days, he quarterbacked St. Bonaventure College during 1950-51, then, when the Bonnies dropped football, transferred to the University of Detroit in 1952 and was ope of the nation's leading passers.

In 1953 he was the Pittsburgh 1 first-round draft choice. His rookie year was interrupted by military service and, in all, he played four NFL seasons at quarterback, completing his career with the Chicago (now St. Louis) Cardinals. He went into private business for four years before joining the NFL's coaching ranks. "I believe in the basics," he says.

"You win with blocking and tackling, with dedication and playing them one at a Rams Visit St. Joe Gym Rutherford High's basketball team will resume action Monday at 6 p.m. at Port St. Joe High. The Rams'will play Tallahassee Leon here Friday night and go to Niceville Saturday.

Bay High hosts Chipley High Tuesday night, plays Tallahassee Godby here Thursday and then hosts intra city rival Mosley Friday. Mosley plays Port St. Joe here Tuesday and visits Fort Walton Beach High Saturday night. time. I'm a low-key coach who believes in sound, basic football." That was provided by many of the players brought in by Thomas, reaping the rewards of a daring move several years ago, when he dismantled the one-time Super Bowl champions, unloading aging veterans like Johnny Unitas and John Mackey.

With their departure, the. new breed took over. The offense is spearheaded by quarterback Bert Jones, running back Lydell Mitchell (the team's leading receiver and first rusher ever), and a high-spirited defensive line which calls itself the "Looney Tunes" and drove opposition quarterbacks a bit batty with a league-leading 59 sacks. This was a season written off by most experts as a rebuilding year at best. They figured a break-even season of 7-7 was the best that could be expected from a team which had suffered through three losing campaigns.

In fact, Marchibroda admitted as last in the division, much. "I thought we had maybe a .50 0 team, but I never envisioned anything like this happening," he acknowledged after the Colts locked up the division title. Five weeks into the season, it appeared even .500 was too much to ask. The Colts won only one of five games and were tied with New England, Tyndall Courts Resurfaced The Tyndall base tennis courts have been resurfaced and are now open for use by Tyndall personnel. At a cost of $50,000, the base tennis courts have had a complete face lift.

While the courts are primarily for the use of active military personnel and their dependents, Department of Defense civilians may use the courts on a space available basis. There is a one hour limit when people are waiting to play and tennis shoes are the only authorized footwear. Then they proceeded to run off nine straight victories. One of the crucial ones was a 42-35 triumph over Buffalo, in which the Colts wiped but a 21-point lead by the Bills, And two others were even more critical, a pair of come-from-behind vicfories the Miami Dolphins that wound up deciding the title chase. Not until the Colts were defeated 28-10 by Pittsburgh, in the first round of the playoffs did the bubble burst.

Of the pressure-cooker life he and his men led through the long comeback season, chibroda said: "If you have character, I don't think the pressure bothers that much." And after the playoff loss to the Steelers, he noted with justifiable pride: "We accomplished what we set out to do, so we're going home winners."

22. 10. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A student-faculty committee at the University of Minnesota has recommended that the school attempt to get answers from former basketball coach Bill Musselman about sources of money used to "entice and retain athletes." The recommendation was made by the Assembly Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics in a private report submitted to liniversity President C. Peter Magrath and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. An account of the report published Friday in the university student newspaper.

The Minnesota Daily, was confirmed as factual by university Vice President Stanley B. Kegler. The report says Musselman was named in nearly half of the 128 substantiated violations of NCAA rules. The NCAA sent its list of allegations to the university last July, and the school has been conducting its own investigation since then. The school has admitted 72 of those violations and uncovered another 56 of its own, but has never disclosed the names of anyone mentioned in the allegations.

The school has said, however, that virtually all the violations involved the recruiting and support of student athletes during Musselman's reign as head coach, from 1971 to 1975. The university is awaiting a decision by the NCAA on punishment for the violations, with most speculation centering on a period of probation aned some restrictions on recruiting. Kegler said he expects the punishment to be announced in February or March. The university committee recommended tiiat the school should seek through judicial processes to require Musselman to respond to questions by investigators about the sources of money used to "entice and retain athletes" Musselman left the university last July, shortly after the NCAA allegations were made, to coach in the American ketball Association. The report says Musselman has admitted two major rent money to Ron Behagen, a former Minnesota player who now plays professional basketball, and providing airline tickets to former player Rick McCutcheon and his family.

Musselman has denied other allegations, the report said, but "available information" led the committee to believe that some of the allegations are substantially true. Other recommendations made by the committee: Director Paul Giel should be reminded "that he is responsible for the conduct of athletic department staff" and that he make certain the university is not again cited for violations. WiUiams, an assistant coach under Musselman who is still on the basketball staff, should be restricted from recruiting for one year because he has admitted some 20 violations on Musselman's orders.

GIANT SIZE LIMIT 1 WITH 9.50 OTHER PURCHASES SUNSHINE'S SUGGESTIONS FOR SUPER-MARKETING CROCK COOKERY From all the questions I've been osked the lost week, it seems like many of you received crock pots for Christmas. To assist you in using your new appliance, here ore some very important factors to remember.

First, what is crock cooking? Low-heot crock cookery is very low-temperoture, "moist- enviornment" cooking. It takes ploce ot between ond or just below the boiling point. Since the liquids do not boil, there is little steam and virtually no moisture loss or evaporation. Consequently, there will be for more moisture or liquid left in a crock cooker thon in a stove-top pot at the end of cooking. This Is olso why the flavor of broths from crock recipes is bland or "wotery" compared to conventional cooking broths and liquids.

Major seasoning adjustments must be considered when using conventional cookery recipes. High-heat cookhs with the crock pot is a different matter. Most units will cook at from 300 to 325lF. Some crock pots will cook at much higher temperatures. At these higher temperotures, the crock pot can be compared to stove-top stew pot, though the heating is for superior as it comes from the sides and not just the bottom.

Foods generally cook in less than holf the time of low-heot setting receipes. And, since the liquids boil, moisture is lost throogh steam, broths ore reduced and foods con burn and stick. It takes 0 little time to get accustomed to using any new appliance ond the crock pot is no exception. One thing to remember is the importance of not lifting the lid-not even for a second. Lid raising releases the moist heot thot may hove taken on hour or more to accumulate.

An additional thirty minutes to an hour may be required to reploce '''Many crock recipes do not require browning of meats and poultry before low-heat cooking. It's on extra step, but it does moke a difference in both flavor and eye appeal. As mentioned earlier, since there is no steam loss or liquid reduction resulting in no concentrotion of flavor, you'll probably wont to increase the seasoning to your own taste. One trick that will solve the excess moisture problem after low-heot cooking is to use a high setting at the end to boil off some of the liquid. Substituting dry wine for port of the liquid required in the recipe will olso odd depth of flavor to low-heot crock cookery.

Follow the same red wine for meats and white wine for poultry and seafood rule as in conventional cookery. Your electricity bill as well as your food budget will benefit from crock cookery. Crock pots thrive on inexpensive meats; they ore cooked fork-tender with much less shrinkage during cooking than with other methods of cooking. Low-heat cooking olso retains vitamins often lost in high-heat cooking. Here is a recipe using on inexpensive cut of meat for use in your crock pot.

SOUPER SHORT RIBS 3 to 4 pounds lean short ribs 3 toblespoons flour 1 pockoge onion soup mix 3 tablespoons oil 1 cup dry red wine or water Dust short ribs with flour ond place them in large skillet. Brown ribs- on all sides in oil, and put them in the bottom of the crock cooker. Stir together the wine and soup mix. Spoon this seasoning mix over moot, so that each piece is coated. Cover and cook at Low for 6 to 8 hours.

Remove meat to a worm platter, ond skim off any excess fat from cooking liquid. Thicken with flour ond serve as gravy on the if desired. Serves 4 to 6.

No one would think of missing it." Pete Rozelle, former public relations man, now NFL Commissioner. "They just plain whipped us, but good. They whipped us all the way and every way. We failed to execute in every part of the game." Coach Chuck Knox of the Los Angeles Rams, beaten 37-7 by the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Championship game. "I wasn't offered any scholarships at Illinois.

I played only basketball and once I blocked a shot by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Yeah, I really got we lost by 25 points."

"Hail mary, full of grace, Roger's taken us to first place." sign praising quarterback Roger Staubach, carried by one of 10,000 Dallas Cowboys fans who greeted the team after its victory over Los Angeles. "Smile, Landry!" another sign in Dallas, poking fun at poker-faced Cowboys Coach Tom Landry. "I don't know what we have to do to win this thing.

It's an empty feeling. It's escaped us again." guard Gene Upshaw of the Oakland Raiders, frustrated once again from reaching the Super Bowl. "As long as Chuck Knox wants to be here, we want him.

Derek Sanderson, a former New York Ranger, also reacting to the firing of Francis. Finlay Eyes Jockey LOS ANGELES (AP) "I'm in a tough division now that I have Bill Veeck to cope with," says Oakland A's owner Charles 0.

Finley. "I can't be out-Veecked." And so Finley supposedly is offering to hire champion jockey Laffit Pincay to play second base for his A's. For those who don't recall, Veeck, who recently joined a group which bought the Chicago White Sox, is a past-master at baseball stunts. He once hired a midget, Eddie Gaedel, as a pinch-hitter. "Can you picture what I would have with Pincay at second base?" enthused Finley.

"On opening day, I would have the world's greatest jockey riding the world's greatest mule into the ball park." This tale is related by columnist Melvin Durslag in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. There's even a photograph of Pincay in an A's uniform and oversized cowboy hat. He's holding a bat somewhat awkwardly in a semi-bunting stance. It all reportedly laegan at a dinner here recently hostessed by Marjorie Everett, principal owner of Hollywood Park who has expressed interest in buying the A's from Finley. Pincay casually mentioned to Finley he was an all-star ijaseball player as a teen-ager growing up in Panama and once dreamed of playing in the major leagues.

The A's owner asked him what position he played. When Pincay said second base, Finley inquired: "Do you think you could still play it?" Pincay responded, "I could with a little practice." Finley then sent Pincay an A's uniform, a dozen of his range baseballs, a couple of bats and instructions to get in shape. According to the story, Pincay is supposed to zip down to Arizona during spring training to work with the A's the two days each week he has off from Santa Anita and Finley has promised to start him against the California Angels in an exhibition game at Palm Springs. Pincay makes an estimated $400,000 a year riding. Oakland's star outfielder Reggie Jackson can't budge his boss to paey him anywhere near half that amount.

Perhaps with thoughts of the time that Veeck sent a midget to bat in a ba.seball game, Finley says of the 5-foot-l rider: "Pincay hit .350 in Panama. With the walks he'll get I may use himasleadoff.".
