TV AND RADIO Networks will not cover Evel's jump by JAY SHARBUTT NEW YORK (AP) The latest news on live TV coverage of Evel rocket-powered leap over Snake River Canyon is downright grim today. The networks plan any live coverage. The Idaho Land Board held an auction Wednesday for rights to televise the great leap from state property on the north side of the canyon, where Knievel intends to land. It received no bids. CBS Sports withdrew a tentative offer of $50,000 it had made on Tuesday, lest Top Rank, promoter of the leap, carry out its threat to cancel the whole thing if live TV coverage is allowed.

Top-Rank, a New York-based firm which plans to show the jump live on closed-circuit theater television, says it has paid Knievel $6 million to cover the leap and wants to protect its investment. Knievel has leased private land on the south side of the canyon as his take off point, but Top Rank allowing live TV coverage from there. The jump is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 8. Robert Wussler, head of CBS Sports, said discussions were held with Top Rank officials until late Tuesday night and early Wednesday and they reiterated their threat to cancel if CBS stayed in.

He said the executives really getting a lot of heat from theater owners across the country and they had a very tender" situation on their He said he finally decided Wednesday morning to pull out of the state bidding it got to be a larger issue than it ever should have become. But we've had an interesting time in the last 48 An NBC spokesman said his network turned down a Top Rank offer which, for $25,000. would have let NBC film the leap from the takeoff point, provided it air the film until 11 p.m. that night. Wussler said no similar offer was made to CBS Sports.

Ironically, ABC, which has given Knievel considerable national publicity, is airing a special next Thursday night about his leap, and is handling the closed-circuit TV production for Top Rank, says it still is negotiating with the company for rights. Although Top Rank threatens massive lawsuits against anyone seeking to make what it calls of the event, there is nothing to stop TV crews from covering it with long lenses from the north side. State and federal agencies, claiming extreme fire danger and safety problems, have closed several thousand acres of land around the landing area. But a lot of acres to guard. Aerial shots? No big problem there, even though the Federal Aviation Administration has put tight restrictions on the airspace.

An FAA spokesman in Boise says planes can get in, but have to file flight plans and will need FAA permission to enter the airspace. William Small, CBS senior vice-president, groaned slightly when asked how and if the network would cover the leap as a news story for its Sunday evening news programs. He said plans aren't definite, I could care less about it. a An ABC News spokesman, asked the same question, said it would be covered At NBC, the reply was, try to cover it some way, but God knows how do CITIZEN SMITH By Dave Gerard SKY THEATRE SCHUYLER, NEBR.

Pass Pass Opening South Pass Pass There is a certain abmonination that is used in connection with not opening four-card majors. It is what is popularly called the short club. This is not to be confused with the artificial club systems like the Vanderbilt, the Neopolitan and the Presicion. It is just a sort of non-descript club opening with three small or a doubieton. South can make a grand slam in hearts, if he just pulls one round or trumps and then crossruffs.

Six hearts will make if he takes two rounds of trumps. If he pulls all East's trumps, he will hold himself to five. However, South never opened four-card majors. Most five-card majorites would make a exception and open one heart, but South was going to rise and fall with a silly short club. Everything might have been fine if good old West stuck in a nonvulnerable four- spade bid.

The new suits of all the major companies have high fronts and a minimum amount of fabric to cover the shoulders and possibly restrict their movement. The high front of the suit, the theory is, prevents water from entering and creating drag from inside the suit. some girls, any formfitting would do, like the old nylon. But if a girl has ridges on her body, this material does seem to fit tighter," said Carlisle.

The most bothersome in the old style suits are fully developed breasts, which tend to open the front of the suit and allow water in.

Not sure about info on studded tires LINCOLN, Neb.

(API State Department of Roads spokesmen said Wednesday the department was not sure the Federal Highway Administration was correct in saying studded tires should be banned. Bob Munger, public information officer, said Tom Doyle, roads director, was not sure all the evidence was in on studded tires. The Federal Highway Administration has announced that the tires damage roads and provide no net safety benefit. Munger said he did not know if the department should make a recommendation to the legislature. In the past, Munger said, the department has not made recommendations to the legislature on the studded tire issue.

Munger said the department believes studded tires may not damage highways more than salt spread on roads in the winter.
