Several Pittsburgh newsmen had been escorted from the Oiler dressing room following Wednesday's practice.

Neither Pastorini nor Dale Robertson, who covers the Oilers for the Houston Post, were injured in the scuffle that the writer said had been simmering for some time. Pastorini has not talked to Robertson for much of the season because the quarterback was annoyed at several stories that had appeared in the PostRobertson said. Robertson had quoted Pastorini in Thursday's paper after listening to a local broadcaster's taped "comments from. the quarterback."

But Charles hit a pair of free throws and then stole the inbounds pass to score a layup to bring the score to 74-73.

But he fouled out in the effort, and, although the Spartans had the ball with 27 seconds left, they could not get a basket. Purdue is now 8-1 overall, Michigan sophomore in the league this year.

NEW YORK (AP) -IBC, which paid $87 million for broadcast' rights to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, has insurance protection should the Games be canceled or if the United States doesn't send a team. 'The only position' we can have is that if the United States sends a team, we'll broadcast the Games," said Alan Baker, vice president of corporate information for NBC, responding to threats of a possible boycott of the Summer Games as a result of Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan.

Industry sources say NBC would not "get back from the Soviets any of the G0 million it already paid them. The -network owes the Soviets three more 15 million installments two before the July Games and one after. NBC has already paid the International Olympic Committee its $12 million cut one third of the broadcast rights. But NBC has insurance with Lloyds of London the. event the United "States doesnt send a team toMosrnw or the Games are canceled.

The policy calls for NBC to get 85 percent of its money back. tor war that if he didn't talk to me. I told him I had a job to do and was trying to do it the best way I could." Pastorini refused to comment on the fracas. Phillips put the Oilers through their paces in secret at Rice Stadium. He -apparently was seeking to avoid a recurrence of last week's incident, in which film of a sideline interview picked up a special Oilers blocking scheme and was aired on a San Diego sportscast the night before the game.

Apparently what newsmen couldn't see at the practice was good news for the Oilers. Pastorini, who didn't play last Saturday in the Oilers' 17-14 over San Diego, was upgraded from doubtful to questionable, which means he has a 50-50 chance of playing. Before the scuffle with Robertson, Pastorini said, "There are certain things I have to be able to do, but I'm going to make sure I get as much rest as I can. I'd say it's certain I'll be a starter." Earl Campbell, the NFL's leading rusher who also missed the San Diego game because of a groin injury, was listed as a probable starter for Sunday's American Football Conference championship Campbell called himself 100. Other wounded Oilers upgraded from questionable to probable we running back Rob Carpenter, wide receiver -Kenny Burrough and tight end Mike Barber.
