SPORTIN' LIFE Wearing one of the exotic sports coats that are part of his distinctive style, television sports "essayist" Heywood Hale Broun talks to students and faculty at a Broome Community College convocation this morning.

By DAVID ROSSIE Heywood Hale Broun, whose literate style has delighted and sometimes bewildered the followers of televised sport, was like a pitcher at the top of his form this morning, mowing down some of sport's most abiding cliches for an audience of Broome Community College students and faculty. Broun, clad in one of the crazy-quilt sports coats that identify him as readily as his disciplined, polysyllabic delivery, also wore a deep suntan, picked up during a recent swing through organized baseball's spring training camps. The man whose childhood ambition was to be a college English professor wasted little time in lecturing his audience on the emptiness of the enduring notions that sports build character and that the outstanding athlete is an example of what American youth should strive to be. "SPORTS DON'T BUILD character," Broun said. "It reveals character to the individual, not to others.

You know how you feel after you've engaged in a sport." A person's character is formed, Broun added, long before participating in a competitive sport has a chance to affect it one way or another. As for the athlete as shining example to youth, Broun cautioned: "He may be a prince, but don't take him for an example of anything other than what he is and does." The reason, Broun added, is that a superb athlete must be possessed of attributes that are not all that desirable beyond the field of play. "HE MUUST HAVE a burning arrogance to be first rate," Broun said. "He must be seething with aggression." Broun recalled an interview with Cincinnati Bengals' all-pro tackle Mike Iteid while he was still a Penn State player and a classical pianist of con-c t-hall rank, pondering which path to follow after college. "He told me, 'If I tried to get ready for a concert the way I get ready for a football game, I'd begin by throwing the piano out the Broun, however, doesn't think the public is about to shed itself of its habit of placing athletes on pedestals and cites the number of them going into politics as evidence.

"It will probably be only a few years before we have an all-star second baseman as president, and that may or may not be an improvement, depending on your point of view," he said. BROUN HAS BEEN a sport television sports "essayist" (he is not actually a commentator or announcer) for seven years. He is under contract to the Columbia Broadcasting System to do weekend sports vignettes, but is not a regular employe of the network. "I might spend a half-day writing a five-minute piece," he said, talking about the difference between what he does and what other men do when confronted by a microphone and a sporting event. Announcers, he said, are expected to be entertainers to a degree when covering a sporting event.

And further, they are expected to maintain a steady stream of sound. "It's assumed that if there is no sound for a few moments that something is wrong. That is why we hear people saying things like, 'Well, this team really came to and sim IIeyvol Hale Ilroun "Sports Don't Build Character, They Reveal It" County Women Preparing For April Meat Boycott ilar observations Into a microphone." TELEVISED SPORTS coverage suffers as a result of this, Broun feels. "I want to see a game. I don't want to be told what I'm seeing or what I've just seen," he said.

"I'm old fashioned, I guess, but I don't like instant replay either. It takes away the magic of the moment. "You discover on instant replay that what you thought was a spectacular run really happened because a tackle who had an easy shot at the runner let him get away. I don't want to know that any more than I want to know how a magician does his tricks." An ex-sports writer first for PM and later the New York Star, both now defunct, Broun spurned an early offer to become a radio baseball announcer.

Y. Name- Social Security No-Address City- By STEVE HAMBALEK Some Broome and Tioga county housewives who are preparing to boycott the buying of meat April 1-8, already are handing out copies of recipes that feature such meat substitutes as fresh and canned fish, beans, macaroni, rice, onions and mushrooms. Mrs. Lisa A. Packard of 404 N.

Page Ave. and Mrs. Carol Gordon of 311 N. Page Endicott, are organizaing the boycott and arranged for the printing of the recipes. MRS.

PACKARD said today that the recipes are being given to persons who may be stocking up on meat in advance of the April 1-8 boycott against increasingly high food prices. Beef prices this week are one to two cents a pound higher than they were last week in most markets but the prices of chicken and pork are down a little Volunteer pickets for the boycott will hold an organizational meeting at Mrs. Packard's house tonight at 8 o'clock. They will carry signs reading "National Meat Boycott, April 1 through April 8, and every Tuesday and Thursday thereafter." MRS. PACKARD said that 11 area organizations are supporting the boycott movement.

A dutiful reporter, Broun goes where CBS asks him to go, whether he likes the assignment or not. Saturday night, for instance, will find him landing in New York City after a plane trip from Portland, Ore. There will be a waiting car at the airport, and within minutes Broun and his cameraman will be heading up Route 17 to Roscoe, where they will cover the opening of the New York State trout season the next morning. 8-Year-Old Killed CAMDEN, N.Y.

Some sources in government and in the grocery business have sought to discourage the boycott on the grounds that it won't work if it isn't prolonged for a long time, or that boycotts tend to drive prices up instead of down. Yet Rep. Howard W. Rob-ison, R-Tioga, has said that so far as he knows, a boycott may work to help bring prices down. He has said that, if nothing else, it cannot hurt.

Robbins said legal complications have delayed closing of a sale of the 176-room hotel to an unnamed buyer, but he said the sale is expected to be completed, not as early as had been expected. Because the sale has been delayed, said Robbins, the hotel has resumed short-term acceptance of room, banquet and meeting reservations. At one time Sheraton had planned to close the Binghamton Hotel next week.

3- Questions Without I Answers I ONEONTA Four question marks graced the pages of an issue of the State Times circulated yesterday at State University College in Oneonta. The campus newspaper was devoid of news. No advertising, either. Instead, imprinted on Page 1 of Volume 30, No. 26 was: News Page On Page 2: Editorial Page On Page 3: Features Page And Page 4: Dragon Sports I Editor Pat Maloney of the Times, which usually contains eight or more pages, could not be reach- ed for comment.

At least one student pointed out, however, that the issue could be the Times' method of dra- i matizing the apathy i among students in produc- i ing a campus newspaper. Stanley F. Weisberger, faculty adviser, said he i 1 was unaware of the small I staff's plans to publish an abbreviated issue contain- ing nothing but question marks. "I'm kind of embar- i rassed," he said. "But then it's not customary for I them to tell me what 1 they're Aip to, anyway." I Weisberger said it is i "entirely possible" the is- sue was planned to empha- size a shortage of students interested in journalism.

He said the next issue, i scheduled for Friday, probably would carry an explanation. Weisberger estimated I that the Times has a press i 1 run; of 4,000. The Times has an oper- I ating budget of $32,000 an- I nually, all of which is un- derwritten by the stu- dents.

ITT Sheraton of America Corp. today received a second proposal for relocating a hotel inBinghamton after the planned sale of the Sheraton Inn at 50 Front St.

in the city, according to a spokesman for the hotel chain. Paul Robbins, assistant pub-lic relations director for Sheraton Inns, said the corporation cannot reveal the nature of the offers, but he said they are being considered seriously. "We aren't trying to scuttle Per. 1 0 7 educes The owner of the Binghamton North Side Market Delicatessen at 504 Chenango who last week reported he'd frozen his meat prices until April 21, today said he has had. to reduce prices on some cuts of beef.

Frank I. Parasiliti said he did drop some prices because it was better to sell the meat than to keep it hanging in the cooler and "to keep the flow of meat steady." HE SAID HE has had mixed reaction to his freeze on beef prices. Some shoppers, he said, misread his announcement of a freeze, and took it for a rollback in prices. Such shoppers were disappointed, he said. "They were people looking for bargains.

The bargains were there but they were not as low as last year," he said. Last week Parasiliti reported his freeze until April 21 could cost him as much as $1,000 a week in profit. He said he was sure of this because he knew that his cost of buying beef would continue to rise. The price is up one to two cents a pound on beef this week, he said. PARASILITI last weak said he decided to freeze his prices after he heard one good customer too many complain about the high cost of beef.

He has expressed sympathy for both the shopper and the operators of supermarkets. Several large chains have reported annual losses in revenues and most ara lucky if they make one cent on the dollar, he said. Last week he also expressed the opinion that the same person who will complain about tha high price of a steak in the store happily pays three times the amount to eat one in a 66 Exchange Binghamton, N.
