But then, he was smudging the glass and not cleaning He was 4 years old. Joe Franklin, right? He was the last first-teamer here, said Black-well. I heard that on the television the other night, otherwise I couldnt have told you who it was. He would not be the only one who would be hard-pressed to come up with a name.

According to the conference archives, only three Badger players have been granted first team honors since 1950: Don Rehfeldt (1950), Ab Nicholas (1951-52) and Joe Franklin (1968). The UW sports information department lists a fourth: Paul Morrow (1954). Fourth or fifth? It doesnt matter to Blackwell. Thursday, the 6-foot-6 junior from Chicago Crane Tech was named on the All-Big Tens first team as selected by the coaches for United Press International Joining him on the squad were Tony Campbell of Ohio State, Jim Rowinski of Purdue and Bruce Douglas and Efrem Winters of Illinois. Rowinski a senior, and Douglas, a sophomore, were the only unanimous choices.

Last season, Blackwell was named to UPIs third team. Ive tried not to think about things like this, Blackwell said. But I wouldnt be honest with you, if I I I ii i i i i didnt say it was in the back of my mind. Sure, Ive been thinking about it and I knew the voting (for all-conference) would be pretty close this year. LATELY, BLACKWELL has been thinking about something else.

Double-Bubble. He leads the Big Ten in both scoring and rebounding. And only two other players in conference history have won both titles in the same season: George McGinnis of Indiana and Mychal Thompson of Minnesota. If I stay within the framework of the team. I'll be all right, he said in advance of the Badgers final appearance Saturday at Illinois.

Blackwell has scored 332 points in 17 games, while his closest competitor, Tony Campbell has scored 319. Campbell will finish his season against Indianas sticky man-to-man defense. As for the rebounding title, Blackwell will have to ward off the challenges of 6-foot-8 George Montgomery of Illinois and 7-foot Kevin (See BLACKWELL, Page 20) DAVID SANDEUThe Capital Times Jahners jump shot with five seconds left gave Appleton a berth in todays semifinals against Brookfield East.

By PHIL ROSENTHAL Special to The Capital Time MILWAUKEE Sportsvues first cablecast the Milwaukee Brewers opener April 3 at Oakland is less than a month away but there are still several hurdles for the statewide pay-cable sports network to overcome.

a For several months, it has advertised major University of Wisconsin sports as part of its package. But there has been no final agreement between Sportsvue and the school The base of the cable networks market would seem to be Milwaukee. But the city isnt wired yet for cable. In Dane County the states largest county after Milwaukee and, arguably, one of Sportsvue's best potential markets there has yet to be a single agreement between the network and a cable company. So its impossible for a Dane County cable subscriber to get Sportsvue.

And then theres the question that two years of research and five years of planning attempted to unearth: Will sports fans pay to watch their teams on television? Milwaukee Bucks president Jim Fitzgerald and Milwaukee Brewers president Bud Selig have $5 million of faith in Sportsvue. They apparently envision it as an extended box office, a TV turnstile. Larry Barbera, vice president of sales and marketing for Sportsvue who calls the pay-cable network a service, a product and an alternate revenue source, says Sportsvue will succeed because Wisconsin fans are a special breed. People have bought cable TV because of the sports product, Barbera said. Our research really showed us two things.

First, that the sports fan in Wisconsin wanted to see more sports on TV, but its more local sports. In addition, for the privilege of seeing more sports on TV, hes willing to pay for it The research that weve done seems to indicate that the Wisconsin sports fan is a very loyal and knowledgeable individual Its that loyalty that Sportsvue is banking on. Barbera points to the strong support that the Packers and Brewers have always had throughout the state. So, he says, Sportsvue wont be seriously threatened if the teams it carries dont perform to expectations. The fan is still going to be there, Barbera said.

The Wisconsin sports fan has proven himself to be that kind of an individual over the years. Sportsvues advertising has boasted it will present at least 200 events. The bulk of that will be 67 Milwaukee Brewers games including 22 home games and 33 Milwaukee Bucks games including 13 at home. But Barbera said Sportsvue wont cut deeply into the number of games on free television. The whole purpose of Sportsvue," he said, is not to take something away from the fan but to give him more.

RICH RYCHThe Capital Times Madison West coach Peg Mueller signals a play during the Regents 47-46 overtime loss to Appleton West I Shain names panel to study UW golf course proposal money already donated to the foundation. The main differences in the reports centered on the construction of a clubhouse and whether the course would make money in its infancy. Petersons report included a clubhouse and said the course should expect to lose money in its first few years of operation. The second report, which was written for the foundation by the Springs golf course director Robert Graves and the UW Extensions Donald Schink, substituted a starter shack for the clubhouse and projected the course to make money in its first full year of operation.

Although the new committee will not meet as a group until March 16, each member has been studying the earlier reports. Were in the formulating stage right now, said Sheboygan Country Clubs Johnson. by ROB SCHULTZ Special to The Capital Times An independent six-man committee has been appointed by University of Wisconsin chancellor Irving Shain to study all the aspects of the proposed university golf course. The six are highly respected individuals from the state of Wisconsin who actually operate golf courses, UW assistant chancellor Harry Peterson said Friday. They will analyze the possibility of building a university golf course and make recommendations to us concerning how much it would cost to construct and operate and how much revenue we can expect to obtain.

The committee is formed of golf course directors from-outside the Madison area They are: Rodney Johnson of Peterson, who wrote the first report last spring for Shain, said he didnt know if the university would change its position on building the golf course if the committee's report produced favorable figures. It would not be appropriate to speculate how the university will proceed before the results are in, he said. In his report, Peterson opposed the course because donations to the UW Foundation for the strict purpose of constructing a course were not felt to be sufficient The foundation has approximately 2.3 million which includes interest accrued through June 1, 1984 but Peterson speculated in his report that approximately 1 700,000 more is needed. However, proponents of the course disagreed with Petersons figures and produced another independent report last fall which stated the course could be built with the Sheboygan Country Club; Robert Musbach of North Hills Country Club in Menomonee Falls; Patrick J. Norton of South Hills Country Club near Fond du Lac; Jerry Ker-shasky of Westmoor Country Club in Brookfield; Roger Bell of North Shore Country Gub in Milwaukee; and William R.

Roberts of SentryWorld Sports Center in Stevens Point Shain, Peterson and UW Foundation president Robert Rennebohm decided to form the committee after two separate studies written earlier failed to agree on many aspects especially whether the course could be expected to make money immediately after it opened. So we felt the new committee would be helpful to obtain an additional set of estimates since it will come from people who are in the field, said Peterson, who added that the new report should be finished sometime in April.
