Statement From WAVG
(Following is a statement from Radio Station WAVG in Louisville concerning the UK basketball and football radio rights controversy. Two weeks ago, WHAS requested TCP to publish a statement concerning its position and last week, WAVG requested equal space. In accordance with our policy of fairness to all, we are publishing the following statement from Radio Station WAVG.)
All of us at WAVG-970 have been extremely pleased to have been a part of the University of Kentucky football and basketball broadcasts this season. Personally, it has truly been one of the highlights of my business career and of our ownership of WAVG.
In order to avoid any confusion let me first state that when you read the call letters of WAVG that was not a misprint. The call letters of the station were WAVE for 48 years, but due to an FCC regulation, when our company purchased WAVE Radio in 1981, we had to change the call letters and chose WAVG. Our station is a separate company from WAVE-TV3, but is a continuation of WAVE Radio, which has been on the air since 1933.
One of the questions which I get asked the most is what really happened between the Kentucky Network and WHAS? Obviously, it's no secret that the commitment which WHAS has had for UK has decreased dramatically over the last several years. In 1983, WHAS refused to carry the Jerry Claiborne Big Blue Line and we were asked at the last minute to air it, which we were glad to do. Anyone living in the Louisville area is aware that there has been very little promotion during the last several years by WHAS of UK outside of the station. In fact, the only billboards or buscards that I can remember that WHAS has done for UK over the last three years, mentioned both UK and the University of Louisville. In contrast, WHAS has done countless buscards and billboards exclusively for U of L. These are decisions that WHAS can't blame on the Kentucky Network or on UK officials.
Obviously I was not privy to all that happened between WHAS and the Kentucky Network. I have been told that WHAS ignored deadlines, stood up meetings and just basically pushed too hard a bargain. I do know that in previous years when WAVG approached the Kentucky Network we received a polite but cold shoulder due to a professional loyalty they had with WHAS. It seems to me that to go from that position to where the Network approached us, something had to have happened.
WHAS claims that they were forced to give U of L top priority. Even assuming for a moment that they were threatened with a lawsuit from U of L (which I honestly don't believe the U of L administration would have done) there is absolutely no reason WHAS had to give U of L priority for six years, since only two years remained on their U of L contract.
None of this is to say that the managers of WHAS are bad people. They're very competent at what they do and are professional broadcasters. Furthermore, I can't speak too badly about WHAS because my dad worked there in the 1940s and early 1950s. But it's just a plain fact that in recent years the University of Louisville has gained higher and higher priority on WHAS and UK has been delegated to a secondary position on the air and in promotion.
We were approached by the Kentucky Network in March, 1985, as to whether we would want to carry the UK games. My reply was that we weren't going to be coy and that we would love to have the games on WAVG. In fact, I told them if it would help to get UK on WAVG for me to lie down on the busiest expressway in Louisville at rush hour, just let me know where and when. (I was just kidding about this part and lucily they didn't take me up on it!) Seriously, I was born in Kentucky, grew up here and have lived in Kentucky my entire working career. My dad was an engineer on some of the UK games back in the 1950s. I have listened to the games and have been a fan of UK my entire life. So it was really a dream come true when we got the games on WAVG.
Would it hurt the University if WHAS was not on the network? WHAS is certainly not needed to cover the State of Kentucky since there are over 70 fine radio stations throughout the state that air the games. There is a need for UK to have a station with a more national signal, especially so that alumni throughout the country can hear the games. However, it is our understanding that WLW (a 50,000 watt clear channel station in Cincinnati) has agreed to carry the UK games on a live basis, starting next season. The signal of WLW is just as strong as WHAS and the live broadcasts of UK would be shifted to WAMZ. So, for approximately 30 to 50 percent of the UK games, the live broadcasts would not even be on WHAS should they be the University of Kentucky's station next season.
With the national coverage provided by WLW, the key question in the Louisville market becomes which radio station can do the best job of covering UK in our area. In the last five months,  WAVG has printed and  is still
distributing 250,000 schedule cards for football and basketball (if anyone would like one, just drop us a note). We have cards on the sides of buses going throughout Louisville promoting our coverage of UK and have given away UK/WAVG-970 t-shirts, done newspaper advertising and promoted UK extensively at the Kentucky State Fair. WAVG has also given aeway a lot of tickets to various UK games, has run a free bus to Lexington for the Midnight basketball practice and has given away the use of vans for going to the UK football games. These are just some of the promotions we have done on behalf of UK in the last few months.
On the air, WAVG is airing a daily Wildcats Sports Show, the Big Blue Line, all of the pre-and post-game shows, and, of course, Cawood Ledford and Ralph Hacker's call of the game. In addition, we carry the weekly Cats' Pause Sports Hot Line and the nightly Sports Call Show with Russ Small, which frequently is concerning the UK sports program. WAVG is always glad to air any public service announcements free of charge for the University and to air University produced programming that fits into our format. In summary, WAVG's commitment to UK is 100 percent.
Of real important to the University, our FM station, WLRS (LRS102), is the number one station in Louisville among people 12 to 34 years of age. This means the station could be very helpful to UK in reaching college students and prospective students and in marketing the academic as well as the athletic program in the Louisville area.
The big question now is obviously who will be broadcasting the UK games in the future in the Louisville area? There is so much politics involved it's hard, frankly to answer that question. In summary, here are our thoughts:
1. WLW will be providing national coverage for UK next season so the WHAS signal is not necessary to reach alumni.
2. WAVG will carry all of the games live, instead of bumping 30 to 50 percent to our FM station as WHAS will have to do.
3. WAVG and WLRS will definitely be the best stations to market and promote the University in the Louisville area. We will be promoting only one school, and that will be the University of Kentucky.
Signed,
Ed Henson, Jr.

Cats, Cards And CBS-TV
Just like any other big-time promoter. CBS TV knows a good thing when it sees one. That's why the Kentucky-Louisville clash Saturday has been rescheduled for 4 p.m. Eastern Time in stead of the original 12:30 p.m. tip-off.
Actually, CBS wanted to switch the game to Sunday, but UK athletics director Cliff Hagan said such a switch would impose too great a hardship on UK fans who had made plans and also make it difficult for UK which will play VMI in Louisville next Monday.
Nevertheless, the game will go on, just as big as ever. You gotta remember, folks, CBS-TV is the network which pushed so long for this contest. So you can expect the network to really pro mote this one.
Although Louisville was ranked high in all the preseason polls, Denny Crum's Cardinals will actually be ranked behind Kentucky when this contest is staged.
Prior to this week's rankings (which were released after TCP went to press), Louisville was ranked No. 16 by the Associated Press while Kentucky occupied the No. 13 spot.
Who will win this game?
This is probably as close a match-up as you'll ever get in the Kentucky-Louisville series There's no question Louisville has more talent than Kentucky, but the game is being played at Rupp Arena.
Louisville would be a solid 14-16 point favorite at Freedom Hall while the Cardinals could ex pect to be a eight or nine-point favorite on a neutral floor. Why?
You have Billy Thompson to start with. He was the "Player of the Year" coming out of high school four years ago. You have Milt Wagner, one of the game's greatest guards returning to top form against Indiana after recovering from year's absence due to surgery. You have the stop-and-pop Jeff Hall. They're all seasoned veterans who can play for anyone in the country.
And how about sophomore Herbert Crook who is improving by leaps and bounds along with guards Mike Abrams, junior Chris West and freshman medical red-shirt Kevin Walls. That's before we get to the nation's finest group of freshmen.
You usually don't count on immediate help from rookies, but Crum was forced to go to the well early because of academic casualty Barry Sumpter who failed to meet school requirements (although he was eligibile by NCAA regulations). That's when frosh Pervis Ellison stepped front and center and has been an awesome impact on the Louisville team.
Remember the name, Purvis Ellison. This man will be the difference if Louisville beats Kentucky in Lexington.
As far as Kentucky is concerned, you start with THE man, Kenny Walker. He'll be expected to carry the lion's share of the load. But also look for Louisville to employ some old SEC defensive strategy and take him out of the game early.
That will leave UK's hopes up to Sir Winston Bennett, along with guards Ed Davender, Roger Harden and James Blackmon. Those three will do a good job, but UK will have to sneak in a surprise of its own if the Wildcats make it three , in a row over the Cardinals at Rupp Arena.
The top three candidates are Cedric Jenkins, Robert Lock and Richard Madison, not necessarily in any particular order. Jenkins and Lock have been fairly impressive at times, but
they've looked, quite frankly, terrible at times The same can be said for Madison. If one should grow up in a hurry, he could be the star of the game Saturday. If none show up, it most likely will mean a defeat for the Wildcats.
On paper. Kentucky appears to have an edge at forward with Walker and Bennett. At gaurd it's almost a stand-off with the edge going to the club which is hot. In the middle. Louisville ha. the decided advantage where Ellison will be going against either a true forward or against a pair of sophomores in Lock and Jenkins. True, Ellison is only a freshman, but he's playing like a junior and that's what counts.
Believe it or not, Kentucky's chances also could rest on how successful it can be employing an old UL tactic, full-court defensive pressure. Kentucky must score some points off its defense. If it does, UK will have an excellent shot. If not, ULs inside game will be more than UK can handle for forty minutes.
Still, it's Rupp Arena and it looks like a Ken tucky victory by three from this viewpoints.
The biggest crime on the college sports scene in Kentucky occurred at Rupp Arena Saturday night when Winston Bennett was left off the UKIT's All-Tourney team.
All Bennett did the two nights is what any coach would be proud of. He scored in double figures both nights, hauled down 16 rebounds and hit on nine of 13 shots from the field. And how about his defense. He's gets the job done night after night, and some people still don't appreciate his efforts.
No doubt this had to be one of Winston's greatest disappointments. For a youngster who has fought back so often, it seems he never gets his justice. He labored in the shadows of the twin towers (Sam Bowie and Melvin Turpin) two
Mills On Feldhaus
years ago and he's been nagged by injuries since his arrival.
And no one has been more of a target for officials than Bennett. He can breath heavy and the whistles sound like a four-alarm fire.
Perhaps, just perhaps. Winston will take out his frustration this Saturday in the biggest game of the year, as far as Kentucky fans in Louisville are concerned and you know where Winston's family lives.
Last weekend's prep action clearly indicates Kentucky was on the right track when Coach Eddie Sutton and his staff went after the likes of Rex Chapman, Terry Mills, Felton Spencer and Reggie Hanson.
Chapman enjoyed a great tournament in the King of the Bluegrass where he averaged over 20 points per game as Owensboro Apollo won fifth place by defeating Carson (Cal) 61-57.
In the consolation final, Pulaski County lost a tough 52-50 decision at the hands of Mem phis (Tenn) Kirby but UK-bound Reggie Han son exploded for 32 points and scored a whopping 109 points in the four-game tourney. He hit 13 of 18 from the field in the final game and 20 of his 32 came in the final half.
Spencer, whose team did not make the final day's list of four games, had a fine tournament including a 20-plus exhibition in the opening round.
Pleasure Ridge Park almost won the tourney, but dropped a 60-51 decision to Gonzaga (DC.) in the championship battle.
Named to the all-tourney team were Perry Carter. Gonzaga: Rex Chapman, Apollo: Reg gie Hanson. Pulaski County: Mark Tillmon. Gonzaga: Derrick Wilcox. Pleasure Ridge Park; Anthony January, Carson; Robert Peyton, Seneca: Felton Spencer. Eastern; Mark Short, Memphis Kirby; Desmond Porter, Pleasure Ridge Park; Greg Baughn. Apollo; David Hogg, Owensboro; and Brian Jointer, Pleasure Ridge Park.
In the fifth annual Hillbrook Classic, Lex ington schools once again proved they can go with the nation's best as both Lexington schools won against out-of-state competition.
Tates Creek turned back South Aiken (SC.) 64-50 in relative easy fashion as Brian Lane scored 26 points and Jerome Coles added 17.
Don Harville's Lafayette Generals made it a clean sweep for the Fayette Countians as the Generals upset Southwest Macon (Ga) 54-51 although star guard Prince Stewart played only three minutes and had to leave the contest after spraining his ankle.
Mike Gay popped in 21 points and Darrell Hill added 11 in a game which was as close as the score indicates. Both teams shot 44 percent from the field. Each club was credited with 34 rebounds and each team shot exactly 19 free throws. Macon, though, made 24 mistakes to 17 for Lafayette and that was the difference in the contest.
Mason County, with the talented Deron Feldhaus, raced out to an early six-point lead over Romulus (Mich) 23-17 but fell behind by seven (39-32) at half before rallying for a 70-64
win with a 21-13 comeback in the fourth period.
This showcase game gave Kentucky fans a glimpse of what might have been if superstar Terry Mills had signed with Kentucky. Mills exploded for 29 points and clearly illustrated why he is one of the nation's top two players. In addition to his 29 points, he also hauled down 15 rebounds.
But it wasn't enough to turn back Mason County which got double figure scoring from Feldhaus, Jay Jones, Jerry Butler and Tony Jackson. They scored 25, 15, 13 and 12 points respectively.
It was almost a clean sweep for the Kentucky teams, but Scott County blew a late lead to enable DeMatha to take home a 61-59 victory. DeMatha was led by John Gwynn with 18 points but game scoring honors went to Scott County's Frank Persley who scored 25 points and certainly improved his stock with the major college coaches.
HITS AND MISSES ... One of the juniors
Kentucky has been looking at recently is Macon Southwest's Eric Manuel, a 6-6 forward who played in the Hillbrook Classic. Manuel didn't have one of his better games, scoring only seven points and hitting two of eleven from the field, but he did have six rebounds in his 24 minutes of action . . . The field is shrinking rapidly in the Al Baker Sweepstakes and now comes word that Baker has narrowed his choices to Kentucky, Ohio State, and Florida although there is a chance he will still visit a California school. . . A couple really nice guys who have been familiar with Kentucky football over the years passed away recently and they'll be missed by everyone. Frank Hare is one of the nicest people who ever walked the face of the earth. He was the father of Frank. Jr. who played on the 1984 Hall of Fame Bowl team. Frank, 56, died of cancer last week. It was many years ago. when Frank. Jr. was in junior high that Frank. Sr. was first operated on for cancer. He recovered and got to see his son earn a scholarship at UK and become a member of the first UK bowl championship team since the early fifties. I'll never forget that night last December in Birmingham when Kentucky overcame all odds and upset Wisconsin. Just minutes after the game, Frank, Sr. was in the UK locker room, celebrating with his son. Tears were streaming from his eyes as his voice quivered, "I'm the happiest man in the world. This proves that something good will happen to you if you do things the right way." When I think of Frank Hare, I'll always remember those words because those words best describe one of the nicest people in the world . . . Another of UK football's finest passed away Sunday   in   Spring,   Texas. Clarence 'Buckshot" Underwood died of a heart attack at the age of 72. Buckshot was an assistant coach for 22 years under five head coaches at Kentucky. He came to UK in 1948 under the legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant and went on to serve under Blanton Collier. Charlie Brad-shaw, John Ray and Fran Curci before retiring in 1978. UK sports information director Russell Rice said "he was a tough, tough person, but the kids loved him. He had great rapport with the kids. He paid his dues in the coaching profession. Buckshot will be missed by all those fortunate enough to have known bint. 0ecev?.6er /p9S
In First Round Action
Wildcats Easily Handle Pirates, 86-52
A strong second half surge is all Kentucky needed as the Wildcats upped their slate to 6-1 with an 86-52 victory over the East Carolina Pirates last Friday evening at Rupp Arena.
The win placed the Wildcats in championship game of the 33rd annual UKIT tourney.
Kenny Walker, decked out in his new pair of protective goggles, paced a balance scoring attack with 19 points. A big chunck of Walker's tallies came from the free throw line where the senior hit on 13 of 14 attempts.
Junior guard James Blackmon found the range on this night hitting eight of 12 from the field and two of four free throws for 18 points. Winston Bennett, who grabbed a game-high nine rebounds, chipped in with 11 points in 24 minutes of action.
"I thought we opened the ballgame and played well." said UK coach Eddie Sutton. "Then we went through death valley and went over 10 minutes without a field goal."
"You have to give East Carolina credit, they played us tough."
Kentucky found itself in a close tussle early as the visitors took advantage of some cold shooting by the Wildcats.
At the 13:04 mark Bennett squared up and fired a 16-footcr over a leaping Marchell Henry, giving UK a 17-6 advantage. However, it would be the last field goal for Kentucky for a long, long time. In fact, the next time Kentucky scored from the field was on a twirling layup by Walker at the 1:37 mark. Walker's field goal gave Kentucky a 32-24 lead. Roger Harden and Ed Davender each connected from the field to close out the first half with the Wildcats on top. 36-24.
The cold shooting bug transferred sides in the second stanza as UK reeled off the first six points.
Pirate coach Charlie Harrison quickly signaled for a timeout with 17:50 remaining. Things didn't change much as UK proceeded to outscore East Carolina 44 to 28.
"We missed some easy shots and this led to some easy shots for them," Harrison said about the overall contest. "And they really pounded the offensive boards. I think this was the big difference in the second half.
Kentucky outrebounded East Carolina, 27-10 in the second half, including 12 to 6 from the offensive side of the ledger.
Shut out in the final 3:20 of the first half, East Carolina didn't connect on a basket until Herb Dixon got past Bennett for a reverse layup at the 17:37 mark.
Overall, Kentucky shot 53.7 percent (29 of 54) from the field while East Carolina connected on 21 of 52 attempts for 40.4 percent.
Henry helped the Pirates get close with a 14-footer and two layins pulling East Carolina within striking distance, 18-14. Sandwiched between Henry's points was an awesome baseline dunk by 6-foot-5 Al Clark.
Dixon and Henry led the Pirates, who fell to 4-2 on the season, with 10 points apiece.
Defensively, UK's man-to-man gave th? Pirates fits in the second half, especially underneath. ECU shot only 10 of 29 from the field in the final 20 minutes for a dissmal 34.5 percent. East Carolina's 6-10 center Leon Bass was held to eight points, before fouling out with 7:37 remaining.
Walker From Outside   Winston Bennett
Byrd Looking To Pick Hardy's Pocket
BLACKMON FINDS THE RANGE
For the three-guard offense to be effective Blackmon must hit from the field similar to his performance tonight.
Sutton pointed out that the 6-3 guard has been working on his outside shooting.
"He's been working real hard all week in practice," the UK mentor said. "He can shoot the basketball. He just needs to gain some confidence. I think James has played hard and has played well in so many areas of the game. He just hasn't been hitting the outside shot. We hope it's back from vacation and we'll have it the rest of the way.
"The biggest thing is confidence," commented Blackmon after the game. "I had a couple of bad games and missed a couple of shots I should've made."
For Blackmon it's been a roller-coaster career at Kentucky. One night he'll hit double digits then the next game draw a goose-egg.
Like Sutton stated, though, his shot may be back for good.
SEMI-TUSSLE FIRES UP CATS
For most of the first half the game had about as much excitement as watching a four-corner offense in operation. Kentucky came into the game a 30-point favorite, but East Carolina suprisingly took it to UK underneath. And when a team gets most of its points from the free throw line (16 of 36) it's tough, from a fan's point of view, to be excited.
Things were pretty much dullsville. . .until Bennett and Clark argued back and forth with 2:06 remaining. Both players, who had to be restrained by their teammates, were whistled for a foul each.
UK held a six-point advantage (30-24) but the Blue and White supporters were not a factor at all. But that was before the Bennett-Clark incident. Less than 30 seconds later a Davender steal turned into a 360-degree layin by Walker, which in turn ignited the partisan UK crowd.
Said Bennett, "I think that was just a matter of two teams going out and playing tough and emotional. East Carolina was not going to roll over and play dead. They were going to come out and put it to us."
WILDCAT COACH GETS CHANCE TO EXPERIMENT
After building a comfortable advantage the reserves came in and showed what they could do. Following Bennett's stop-and-pop 12 footer, Sutton called off the troops leading. 56-30.
Earlier Walker checked out of the game for good (14:08) and was later joined by Davender and Blackmon (13:14).
During the final 13 minutes, everyone was given a chance to show their colors. Instead of sitting back and relaxing the reserves continued to pour it on.
Byrd brought the crowd of 22,416 to its feet with a coast-to-coast layup. And just a second later did the little man do something positive again, as this time he stole a pass and laid ir up for another two points (defensive goal-tending). In a span of 10 seconds Byrds's four points upped the Wildcat lead to 75-40. His six points is a UK career-high for the 5-5 guard.
Todd Ziegler came in and played well for 11 minutes. He also brought the crowd, as well as the Kentucky bench, to its feet when he soared to tip in a Richard Madison miss.
Madison and Cedric Jenkins also tossed in seven and six points, respectively.
PIRATE-WILDCAT TIDBITS
With 19 points Kenny Walker pulled within nine of No. 9 Melvln Turpin (1,509) on the all-time UK scoring list. Walker now needs only 649 tallies to be the all-time Kentucky scorer. The goggles worn by Walker are the same make that Karcem Abdul Jabbar and James Worthy of the Los Angeles Lakers wear. . .Roger Harden dished out four assists on the evening, upping his season total 46. . .Among those in attendance were the eight prep teams participating in the Hillbrook Classic (December 21). . .East Carolina's leading re-bounder on the night was 6-5 forward Manuel Jones with four. . .UK outrebounded the Pirates 45 to 24. . .UK's bench hit on 13 of 18 from the field for an impressive 73.3 percent. . .Kentucky's one and only freshman, Irving Thomas has still failed to connect on a field goal. He played eight minutes and did put up an attempt. On the near scuffle Winston Bennett said. "You never think of an action like that as a benefit because that's not showing class for either one of our programs. I'm sorry that I got into it. I've been known to get into situations like that."

Pepperdine Holds On To Defeat SMU In OT
Dwayne Polee and Eric White each scored 20 points as Pepperdine blew an early 17-point
lead, but rallied in overtime to edge Southern Methodist University 75-68 in the opening round of the 33rd annual University of Kentucky Invitational Tournament Friday night at Rupp Arena.
Pepperdine also got 11 pointsl from forward Anthony Frederick and 10 points from Jon Korfas in winning its seventh game of the year against only one defeat.
"It was a strange game." said Pepperdine coach Jim Harrick. "with us blowing a 17-point lead. Our zone hurt them and our scouting report indicated it would."
"It was uncharacteristic of us to lose a big lead like that." continued Harrick. "We got cautious and I got on them a bit about that. It was a game of momentum. First we had it and then they had it and then we had it at the end. I'd much rather have momentum early because it is so hard to catch up."

Polee Scores Two
Pepperdine took a commanding lead midway through the first half at 21-12 with 8:17 left. That was in the middle of a 14-0 run which improved a 15-12 advantage to a 29-12 score with only 6:18 left in the first period.
SMU rallied quickly and narrowed the deficit to three (33-30) at the half behind John Col-burne. Kevin Lewis and Randy Jones. Actually, SMU took the lead early in the second half twice on baskets by Colburne and Williams.
Pepperdine tied the game at 38-38 on Frederick's free throw and Pepperdine never trailed again in the game, although there were four ties later in the contest.
After Pepperdine moved back in front, SMU rallied in the final six minutes and finally sent the game into overtime when Jones hit a basket with just ten seconds left in regulation.
After a couple early ties in overtime, Pepperdine put the game away on back-to-back baskets by White and Federick.
SMU also got 20-point performances from Kevin Lewis and Terry Williams while Butch Moore and Randy Jones added 10 points each.
Although outrebounded by SMU 31-28, Pepperdine hit a hot 53.7 percent from the floor on 29 of 54 while SMU was credited with a 48.3 percentage on 29 of 60. SMU hit a perfect 100 percent from the free throw line, canning all ten shots while Pepperdine was good on 17 of 23 for 73.9 percent.
"I thought we played a very fine basketball team," said SMU coach Dave Bliss. "It's difficult! to spot a team as good as they are a 17-point lead in the first half and try to come back to win. It was really a learning experience for our kids." Q)cc<>m/H'r 2$, /ytfS
