D-6 THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Thursday, June 12, 1980 Bill Hits At Out-Of-State Recruiting Ban BY RANDY HOLTZ Bruce Runs Own Show At Ohio St. one else. But I object to the way the OHSAA has gone about it. I think there's a way to prohibit recruiting without saying that anybody who lives out of the state is ineligible for sports." For the bill to become law, it would have to make it out of a House committee, then go to a House rules committee, then pass by a majority House vote. Then, the same process would have to be completed in the state Senate, and, finally, the governor would have to sign it.

Karmol said, though, that he's "pursuing other avenues of the situation." Namely, he has a meeting soon with an attorney from the OHSAA, "We have an appointment," he said. "We'll sit down, and hopefully, some kind of compromise can be worked out." TONY CIRRINCIONE.ari Enquirer honorable mention All-City tennis player from Elder, has signed a national letter of intent to play tennis at Northern Kentucky University. Cirrincione compiled a 61-19 career singles record for the Pan-Miers. THE CINCINNATI AAU high school all-star basketball tournament Is set for this weekend at Flnneytown High School. Teams from Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dayton, St.

Louis and Baltimore will compete In the tournament, which will run Friday through Sunday. The top two teams qualify for the National AAU tournament to be held June 25-28 in Florida. Kentucky-resident St. Xavier students sued to have the rule rescinded. Late last month, the St.

Xavier athletes suffered a temporary setback when visiting Judge Glenn E. Detling In Hamilton County Common Pleas Court refused to grant a preliminary injunction that would have forced OHSAA to allow the athletes to compete in interscholastic sports. A court date for the St. athletes has not been set. Karmol's involvement, though, adds a new dimension to the situation.

After discussing the rule with school officials within his Toledo constituency, he found that both public and private school administrators were against it. Several parochial schools in the Northwestern Ohio city have a history of Michigan-resident student-athletes. "I WAS very cautious about this," Karmol said from his Columbus office Wednesday. "I talked with a lot of people Involved with Toledo schools, and almost everyone said they didn't like the rule." Originally, the rule was designed to fight across-state-llnes recruiting of athletes. In the process, Karmol contends, It has deprived out-of-state students of their constitutional rights.

"Frankly," he said, "I have no objection to a rule to prohibit recruiting in high schools. I'm as much against recruiting in high schools as any Sports Reporter David L. Karmol, a Republican member of the Ohio House from Toledo, was having trouble getting the Ohio High School Athletic Association to listen to him. So he introduced a bill. The OHSAA started listening.

Karmol is one of the enemies of the controversial OHSAA rule which prohibits out-of-state students from playing sports in Ohio high schools. After trying several times to discuss the rule with OHSAA officials, he introduced the following bill: "The state of residence of a pupil's parents or guardian should not be considered in determining the eligibility of any pupil enrolled in a public or private school In this state to participate in interscholastic athletics." Since Karmol is a member of the minority party of the House, and since the bill was introduced late In the current legislative session, and since the rule affects basically only two cities-Cincinnati and Toledo It Isn't expected to have much chance to become law. BUT KARMOL has managed to focus more attention on the rule, which has caught fire from private schools here and in Toledo ever since it went into effect last July. The latest battle over the rule came when the parents of eight Eraulrer File Ptwto EARLE BRUCE McGuire's Memories Highlight Prep Stars Dinner Northern Kentucky's finest girl and said they told him that if he went to BY BILL FORD Sports Reporter They wondered around the Ohio State campus exactly how Earle Bruce intended to fit into the shoes Woody Hayes was forced to remove after the sucker punch incident at the Gator Bowl Just before New Year's 1979. Some even answered the question.

Not at all, they concluded nobody replaces a legend. They are right. He isn't Woody Bruce or Earle Hayes. Earle Bruce is Earle Bruce. Quite frankly, the sound of it is surprisingly refreshing.

The change in the football office at Ohio State came to mind Tuesday when Bruce began some promotional appearances for his television show, which will air in Cincinnati (Channel 9) at noon on Sundays during the football season, beginning next September. HAYES ALSO had a television show, but no way would he hopscotch around the state in the sum-mer to promote it. Although a player and an assistant under Hayes, Bruce is by no means aligned with his former mentor in all areas. He is genuinely sincere in trying to sell Earle Bruce and, of course, Ohio State football. "Yes," he said, "we should have a fine football team.

We have six offensive starters and nine defensive starters returning. We're not as big physically In both interior lines as I'd like to be. But we're fast, we can run and run and run. "The league (Big Ten) is stronger. Michigan is always tough and Indiana, with 19 starters back, is exceptional.

"WHAT I'D like to see Is the Big Ten championship come down to the Michigan-Ohio State game every year. "Listen, I thought I knew this rivalry well. I played in it and I was an assistant. But never, never had I experienced the full impact of it until I walked into Michigan Stadium last fall and those 106.000 people or so were screaming. "It's pressure all right.

And the coach feels it. What it does really is BY TOM GROESCHEN Sports Contributor Al McGulre came to town Wednesday night to help honor Northern Kentucky's best high school athletes at the first-ever Famous Stars of the Year banquet at Lloyd High School, and to say he was a hit with the crowd would be an understatement. McGulre kept the audience laughing with several humorous tales on everything from NBC cohort Billy Packer to his feelings about life In general. Still, he did not attempt to steal any of the glory from the athletes, advising them, "Don't play life safe. Take chances, and never be afraid of failure." The former Marquette basketball coach-turned-NBC broadcaster was the main speaker at the event, sponsored by Famous Recipe Fried Chicken.

The banquet honored 73 of almost make the Rose Bowl game anticlimactlc." Bruce isn't football 24 hours. Recently, he and John Graver, a Columbus orthodonist, Invested in three horses. One of them, Ever-body's Choice, was scheduled to run at River Downs. "It was a couple of weeks ago and I just walked out of the house to get in the car for Cincinnati when my wife said I had a telelphone call. "IT'S JOHN Graver.

I told him I was on my way to River Downs to watch Everybody's Choice. He said he'd Just talked with the trainer. 'Don't waste your time. It's wet and the horse doesn't have a "I stayed home. You guessed it.

The horse ran, won by 10 lengths and paid $59.60." If Bruce and his partner are interested in breeding, he said New York Yankee owner George Stein-brenner, also a horse fancier, promised him services of his stable with a suitable mare. "But let me tell you about breeding," Bruce continued. "Remember Horace Gillom? (End-punter with the Cleveland Browns two decades ago). A great athlete. Well, he meets this high school cheerleader, they marry, have a son.

Now, you think another super athlete would result, OK? "My first coaching year at Mas-sillon the boy is pointed out to me. Know what he was? The drum major." It's the Earle Bruce Show. McGulre on NBC cohorts, Dick Enberg and Billy Packer: "Dick Is a big reason for my success on the broadcasts. He's a complete professional. Billy? Billy Is an ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) slcko.

Seriously though, he does know the game of basketball." On the Olympic boycott: "Carter Is a leader. We have to go along with what he says. I would liked to have gone to Moscow to do the basketball games, but we have to stand by the boycott." McGulre helped emcee Dale McMlllen and Famous Stars coordl-nator Ed Pendery present the awards to the Stars of the Year, Morlidge and Bearden. Morlidge rushed for 1,796 yards In football and scored 19 points per game In basketball as a senior at Beechwood. Bearden, two-time Enquirer female basketball Player of the Year, averaged 27 points- boy athletes who had been selected as "Famous Stars of the Week" each week since September of 1979.

SELECTED AS Stars of the Year were Beechwood football-basketball star Bailie Morlidge, and the recently Injured Dixie Heights basketball star Jackie Bearden. Bearden Is still hospitalized with a broken leg, sustained Saturday when the moped she was riding was struck by an automobile. McGuire's ability to entertain was evident throughout his half-hour speech, as he related several stories (both factual and fictional) from his colorful career. For instance, here's McGulre on the recruiting of former Marquette star Earl Tatum: "Earl had narrowed his choice of college down to Louisiana State and Marquette. He visited LSU one weekend, where he Marquette, his eyeballs would freeze.

"I told him, Earl, at LSU they have these two-inch-long bugs. At night they crawl on the celling, then fall into your hair as you sleep. To get them out they have to burn them out of your hair. "Earl came to Marquette." AT A press conference prior to the banquet, McGulre said he did not miss coaching, and was very happy broadcasting college basketball on NBC. "I have no regrets about my coaching career," he said.

"Would I have changed any of It? Well, I might have been nicer to the referees." He also emphasized, "My players all got college degrees. I made sure they were complete persons. We didn't turn out any Elnstelns, but thev were all successful."
