Women in Sports Day events scheduled across the nation
America’s leading female athletes
and representatives of the Women’s
Sports Foundation will gather in
Washington, D.C. and in state capitals
across the country February 4 in
recognition of National Women in
Sports Day.
“The goal of National Women in
Sports Day is to demonstrate to the
American public the value of sports
in the lives of all girls and women and
to insure that sports and fitness opportunities are protected in our educational system,” said Carol Mann,
president of the Foundation.
Congress designated February 4,
1987, as National Women in Sports
Day in a joint resolution introduced
by Senators Robert Packwood, ROregon; BiIl Bradley, D-New Jersey,
and Congresswoman Olympia Snowe,
R-Maine.
President Reagan signed the resolution October 27.
In recognition of the day, prominant athletes Billie Jean King, Carol
Mann, Anita DeFrantz, Kathrine
Switzer, Willye White, Martina Navratilova, Mary Lou Retton, Lynette
Woodard, Sacajuwea Hunter, Genna
Weiss, Lyn St. James and others will
meet with members of Congress in
Washington to urge their support of
legislation that the group contends
will restore Title IX to its original
strength and protect all the civil rights,
that the women say that are threatened by the Supreme Court’s Grove
City College decision.
The 1984 Grove City decision ruled,
in effect, that Title IX, a Federal
statute prohibiting sex discrimination
in schools, does not apply to athletics.
National Women in Sports Day
will be commemorated on Capitol
Hill at a ceremony in the Russell
Senate Office Building, hosted by
Senators Edward M. Kennedy, DMassachusetts, and Ted Stevens, RArkansas.
During the ceremony, the athletes
will commend Senators’ Packwood
and Bradley and Congresswoman
Snowe for coauthoring the resolution
proclaiming
National Women in
Sports Day.
The resolution was initiated by
Sen. Packwood in recognition of the
outstanding contribution
made to
women’s sports by the late FIo Hy-
man, captain of the 1984 U.S. Olympic volleyball team. She worked with
Sen. Packwood on Title IX legislation.
The ceremony will end with an
award given in Flo Hyman’s name to
a woman athlete who captures “FIo’s
dignity, spirit, and commitment to
excellence.”
Across the country, more than 40
governors have proclaimed Women
in Sports Day in their states, and
ceremonies involving governors and
local leaders in women’s sports will be

During its first meeting (January
29-30 in Atlanta), the recently expanded and federated NCAA Ehgibility Committee
took steps to
streamline the procedure for the disposition of routine cases.
The group, which was expanded to
10 members and federated by the
passage of 1987 Convention Proposal
No. 24, voted to authorize Stephen
R. Morgan, NCAA assistant executive director, to serve as an eligibility
hearing officer to take initial action in
eligibility matters. This action was
taken after the NCAA Council approved the concept during its Convention meeting.
“An awful lot of the cases have
been routine,,’ Morgan explained.
“Until now, the Eligibility Committee
has treated every issue. The membership is not losing an opportuntity to
be heard by this change. This move
simply is being made to permit the
national office staff to help clear the
agenda of cases that can be resolved
to everyone’s satisfaction before they
get to the committee.”
Passage of Proposal No. 24
doubled the size of the Eligibility
Committee and authorized the disposition of cases in a federated manner
(e.g., Division II cases would be
handled by the Division II members
of the group, etc.). Olav B. KolIevoll,
Lafayette College, will serve as chair
of the full committee until September
1987, when he wiU leave the committee
and be replaced as chair by Edwin D.

Manual revision efforts gain members’approval
NCAA
Conventioneers
got a
glimpse of the future NCAA Manual
during their recent visit to San Diego,
and most apparently liked what they
saw.
“A large number of institutional
representatives visited the display we
set up, and feedback we received
indicates that most of those people
liked what they saw,,, said Association
President Wilford S. Bailey, faculty
athletics representative at Auburn
University and chair of the Special
NCAA Committee on Deregulation
and Rules Simplification,
which
showed off some of its work.
Distributed at the display were
printed samples of a bylaw as it would
appear in a revised NCAA Manual; a
description of the committee’s charge,
progress to date and plans for the
future, and a sample of illustrative
charts and tables to be used in the
Manual. “We must have handed out
1,000 copies of that material,” said
Sharon Andrus, who manned the
exhibit full-time, with help from special committee members.
Andrus represents The Andrus
Group, a management consulting firm
believed were targets for deregulation.”
“The suggestions made most often
by people who visited the exhibit
concerned two things the committee
has been considering since it began its
The site of the finished product cannot be
determined,but the specialcommitteeis committed
to the vublication of an NCAA Manual that
is mark useablefor’the membership
that is assisting the committee with its
work. “What really seemed to catch
people’s attention was the outline of a
revised Manual,” she continued. “We
walked them through the material
and attempted to answer their questions. We also solicited input on additional changes and sections of NCAA
rules and regulations that those people
work,” Bailey said. “First, we heard
many requests for further improvement in the Manual’s index. People
want the book as easy to use as
possible. The second was a request
for the special committee to continue
to look at the feasibility of publishing
a separate Manual for each membership division.
‘Obvious& there is no way we can
attempt to take action on that concept
until we are very close to completing
our work,,, Bailey continued. ‘Certainly, there are some advantages to
separate manuals, but one also can
see the need for having ail the information in one publication that would
be accessible by student-athletes,
coaches and administrators who may
be considering a move to an institution
in another membership division.”
Bailey said that regardless of the
committee’s decision on this issue, the
group also will consider the concept
of publishing specific sections of the
book(s) as separate units. “Right at
the top of that list would be the
section on recruiting,,, he explained.
“We’re convinced it can be printed
separately and be used as a recruiting
manual for coaches.”

The NCAA
Rich TV pact to provide wealth of benefits
. . to membership
By Bill Millsaps
Richmond Times-Dispatch
Any large organization occasionally
sends out mixed signals to the public.
Recently, acouple of news items from
the NCAA have been so contradictory
as to make the reader exclaim, “Say
what?”
During the NCAA Convention in
San Diego, cost-containment legislation was passed that wiU reduce the
number of basketball and football
scholarships and significantly curtail
the recruiting period for both sports.
Not five days later, in an advisory
to media members who previously
had covered the NCAA Division I
Men’s Basketball Championship, the
organization announced, in fairly
small print, its estimate of the payout
to the four teams that make it to New
Orleans March 28 for the Division 1
semifinals. This year’s Final Four
participants will probably receive
51,003,375 each.
Let’s put that number in perspective. It is more than I5 times the
amount of money paid to Final Four
teams 15 years ago. It is nearly twice
the amount paid to Final Four teams
five years ago.
Take it one step further. Next year,
the first of a new three-year deal with
CBS for television rights to the tournament, the TV portion of the pot
goes from S36 million to $57 million.
If Final Four team shares of the
revenue stay the same, a 1988 semitinalist could come away with
61,588,079.
That is a huge chunk of money and
will be viewed by some as an amount
large enough to encourage more cheating at a time when the NCAA is
trying like the devil to reduce it to
barely tolerable levels.
If Dick Schultz has his way, and he
usually does, a large number of
NCAA members and their athletes
will share in the new windfall of TV
money. Schultz, athletics director at
the University of Virginia and chair of
the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, said there should be
-a cap of S 1.2 million or S 1.25 million
for Final Four participants.”
In recent years, proceeds from the
tournament have been split 6040
between the competing teams and the
NCAA, with the NCAA’s share providing nearly threequarters of the
Association’s operating revenue. It is
now possible that the split may be
narrowed to 5545, with the increase
to the NCAA making possible the
funding of projects that have been, in
the past, financially beyond reach.
In the next few months, Schultz
and his colleagues on the committee,
the Division I Championships Committee and the Special NCAA Television Negotiations
Committee are
expected to discuss a package of

“Wise observers would reply: ‘Because they don’t know

Joy of competition is worth risks
To the Editor:
In the January 14 edition of The NCAA News, Bruce Bauerle makes the
valid point that the “free ride” can be costly to student-athletes over the long
haul of their lives.
Yes, indeed, it can, and 1 applaud Mr. Bauerle for pointing out many of the
pitfalls of highly competitive sports. Still, Professor Bauerle fails to mention
one aspect of athletics that goes beyond practical considerations-the
joy of
competing on an excellent level.
Good athletes are no different from any other gifted person: musician,
scientist, dancer, architect or actor. I’m speaking about folks whose talents
compel them to maximize their abilities. Unless these kinds of people make the
effort, they can never be completely satisfied.
The exhilaration a scientist feels after proving a complicated theory or the
wonder in the heart of an artist after he or she puts the finishing touches to a
painting is no greater than the delight of the basketball player slicing through
bodies and air, making the impossible shot. It doesn‘t matter that there are
career-stopping risks or long-term dangers. Talented people will never stop
pursuing excellence, pushing the outer limits of their talent.
Perhaps some athletes in college should be discouraged from intense
competition, but only because they lack talent. Then, of course, the risks far
outweigh the rewards. But for the young men and women who can fly, it would
be a damn shame to see them walk.
If Bruce Bauerle thinks athletes are selling their bodies for a winning season
and a few lines in the local sports pages, it is clear to me that he has never
experienced first-hand the joy of excellence.

-The NCAA and the NFL ought to take a closer look
at the game instead of just pointing the finger. They
should look at why guys are doing it (taking steroids).
“Instead of testing players for steroids, NCAA officials

turned in to.
“A lot of people say, ‘Oh, my God, they’re taking
steroids., Those people ought to have the experience of
lining up third- or fourth-and-one in coIIege and the pros.
It’s a war out there. That’s why players take drugs.
“It’s hypocritical. A lot of people in the NCAA think
these guys (taking drugs) are cheating. What these guys
are doing is trying to compete at a higher level.
“Society puts pressure on you to win. It’s how competitive and rough the game has become.
“Athletes are going to do what they have to do to
compete, and doctors are going to prescribe drugs to put
you on the field to compete.
“It’s becoming apparent now what it really takes to
play. Steroids are no good, but most people pay little
attention to the doctor-prescribed legal drugs. When
you’re hurt, they shoot your joints full of drugs and send
you out there. That’s more dangerous.”
To the Editor:
I am writing not to rebut the article by Mr. Bruce Bauerle (A “free ride”often
can be too costly for student-athletes, January 14, 1987, NCAA News), but
simply to show there is another side to the coin. I also work at a four-year state
university that has a large, winning athletics program.
We are an institution that attracts many applications for each space
available, and we expect our athletes to measure up to our admissions
standards. Therefore, the student-athlete who attends our university is aware
of what expectations he or she must meet.
When a student-athlete decides to attend a college or university and
participate in a sport, he or she must have some idea from the high school
athletics experience that there are certain hours allotted each day to practice
sessions. I would venture to say that the majority of schools in the NCAA or
NAIA do not have four- or five-hour practice sessions. If Mr. Bauerle knows
this to be commonplace at his institution, he might want to show his athletics
coaches some research done on length of practice and productivity levels.
Mr. Bauerle also discusses risk and college students tending to believe they
are immortal. I believe that youth in general have a propensity in the direction
of the above-mentioned areas. Athletes may seem to have more of a leaning
because they are competing before large crowds and their injuries are viewed
by thousands of people.
Injuries are a part of athletics that should be handled in a competent and
forthright manner; any other type of action should not be acceptable in an
athletics program. A coach who encourages an individual to play when hurt,
to the point where it would harm the individual for life, should not be in the
coaching profession.
Finally, if student-athIetes take the easiest courses and finish with no usable
skills, then the wrong message is being conveyed to the athletes when they are
recruited and enrolled.
In athletics, much discussion centers on setting goals and meeting challenges.
This same message has to be instilled in the student-athlete so he or she can use
it in the classroom. If the student-athlete is capable but not performing, then
the motivation that is being used has to be questioned. This applies both on and
off the playing fields.
Much criticism has been directed toward college athletics over the years and
some of it is justified, but surely that does not mean we should cease ah
attempts to make it a better situation. We must keep in mind that college
athletics is what the institution wants it to be.
If the proper amount of emphasis is placed on a person being a studentathlete, then a fuKdling and rewarding experience wiU be realized both on and
off the playing fields. But if the emphasis is strictly athletics in nature, then not
only is the person shortchanged, but the college or university is not fulfilling its
duties as an institution of higher education.

Rating system to measure school’s successis m isguided
By Jerry Heaster
Businessand Financial Editor
The Kansas City Star
In a strictly business sense, the
growing support for the notion of
holding institutions of higher learning
to some sort of measurable performance standard seems to reflect sound
economic thinking.
Perhaps 50, but an education being
the kind of commodity it is, this
seems a good time to keep in mind
Oscar Wilde’s line about a cynic being
somebody who knows the price of
everything and the value of nothing.
The value of several years of higher
learning cant be evaluated or assessed
in terms of what it might add to the
gross national product.
To he sure, it would be nice if it
could. After all, as much as this
society is paying for this product
called education, wouldn’t it be nice
to be able to quantify what we’re
getting for our money?
Sure it would, and it’s frustrating
when-as Missouri Gw. John Ashcroft noted recently-most
institutions of higher learning “simply do
not know what their students are
learning.”
Sad as it is to say, he’s probably
right. Sadder still, hell probably al-
ways be right.
The only ones who ever really know
what students have learned are those
who hire erstwhile students. And as
any working person knows, some of
the products turned out by colleges
and universities are either lemons or
gems.
For the most part, though, they
turn out to be a fairly average lot.
What differentiates the eventual value
of the product turned out by the
higher-learning process usually has
more to do with the desire to succeed
than the level of raw knowledge.
Therefore, if you agree with this
premise, any attempt to quantify what
colleges and universities are accomp
lishing by measuring the knowledgeretention ability of students makes
absolutely no sense whatsoevereconomically or otherwise.
If, for instance, a state designs a
test to measure university performance and then links the level of government funding to the test results, it
will impede rather than enhance the
educational process.
This unintended consequence will
be the result of making the institution
more geared to serving bureaucratic
imperatives than satisfying intellectual
needs.

ons to get around the rule. I’m sure the elimination of two scholarships will
prompt new cheaters. The cheaters have flourished long before this rule.
Maybe this rule will encourage Division 1 coaches to recruit a little more
responsibly. No one likes having his shopping list cut, but it can make for a
more frugal recruiter.
H O W many programs can night-in and night-out play 15 athletes? Yes, the
rebuilding of a program and the threat of injuries constitute a solid argument
for retaining 15 scholarships.
I wish we had the money to carry I5 top student-athletes. In Division II, we
have a limit of 12; two-thirds of us cannot afford the maximum, but we have
gotten by.
If we want to control spending in athletics, let’s first look at the big-time
Division I programs with an unlimited basketball budget-programs that stay
at four- and live-star-rated hotels; charter planes to away games instead of
flying regular coach, and trying to outdo each other in fancy locker rooms,
player lounges and the like.
I don’t know how some Division 1 programs can make ends meet with a mere
basketball budget of from S750,OOOto $1 million a year, and they are
complaining about two scholarships. I could do nicely with 13 myself.

Legislation is a big disappointment
To the Editor:
The NCAA Convention was a tremendous disappointment.
Blatant disregard for people’s lives within the sport of basketball was
exercised in the elimination of the part-time coach in basketball (football
retains the coaches it has had) and in the elimination of two s&olar&ps in
basketball from 15 to 13 (football retains the total allotment of 95 scholarships,
but now the Convention says a school can give only 25 scholarships in a year
rather than 30).
What a farce. Basketball has had to eliminate two full scholarships and a
part-time coach, and football eliminates nothing. Yet, it is reported that
football has decreased scholarships from 30 to 25 per year.
Pete Rozelle must now be giving public relations courses to college football.

No mental problems are apparent
To the Editor:
Bobby Knight’s criticism of the NCAA in the January 14 issue of The
NCAA News is typical of some basketball coaches. They need to sell their
bosses on their opinion.
The Division I presidents are the ones making the rules of the NCAA.
Probably over half of the Big Ten, SEC, Big Eight, ACC and Pat-10 voted for
the basketball restrictions on scholarships and coaches. The larger institutions
are the ones setting the pace on reductions. This is not led by Division II or III
or by the less affluent Division I schools.
His quote that anyone who would propose or vote for reduction of
basketball scholarships is an absolute idiot infers that a majority of the
presidents and faculty reps in the Pat-10 have mental problems. The ones I
know seem very intelligent.

No criticism of school was intended
To the Editor:
People reading Mr. John McCormally’s article in the January 21 issue of
The NCAA News may misinterpret my impressions of Ohio State University
and, even more important, the truth regarding Ohio State.
Yes, the administration and I had disagreements about our basketball
program. However, no university is more concerned about operating within the
spirit and letter of the rules or concerned with the student-athlete’s education
than Ohio State.
I am today and always will be proud of my association with Ohio State and
what it stands for in education and in athletics.

Scholarship can be ticket to success
To the Editor:
Mr. Bruce Bauerle painted what I consider a very one-sided picture of the
value of an athletics scholarship (January 14 issue of The NCAA News).
Throughout my academic and administrative career, I have watched several
young people enter the university on athletics scholarships. Contrary to the
opinion shared by Mr. Bauerle, many of these individuals have utilized their
scholarships not merely on the playing field, but as a means of achieving
success in life; therefore, 1 consider an athletics scholarship the ‘gateway to
success.”
Statistics have shown that graduation rates for scholarship student-athletes
nationally are usually 10 to 15 percent higher than those of the general student
population.
Aside from achieving a better graduation ratio than the nonstudent-athlete,
there is merit to the contention that the experience of competing in intercollegiate
athletics is very rewarding. Student-athletes can travel; develop themselves
mentally, spiritually and physically; meet new friends, and learn the values of
teamwork and dedication toward a common goal. Statistics show that many
student-athletes graduate because of their team rather than their perception of
the value of a college education, which they learn later in life.
Mr. Bauerle seems to have a very distorted view of preseason practice and
conditioning. All coaches encourage their athletes to condition year-round, not
only to perform better, but to prevent injury.
Concerning physicaleducation classes and Mr. Bauerle’s statement that
“Borderline failures in required academic subjects are counterbalanced by A’s
handed out in physical education or recreation classes so that eligibility
requirements are met for all four years”: He again fails to consider this is not
the case in today’s arena because of the emphasis put on all academic programs
throughout the entire country.
While it would be naive to say that college athletics is a perfect world and
that athletics scholarships are never exploited, it must be noted that the
NCAA, the Presidents Commission and all other groups associated with
intercollegiate athletics have taken the lead in improving the academic climate
for the student-athlete.
Although not all scholarship athletes will graduate and go on to be
successful, it is my contention that very few people will be harmed by an
athletics scholarship. By competing on a team and obtaining a college degree,
or even merely being exposed to a college environment for four or five years,
studenttathletes will at least be better prepared to deal with today’s society.

the full funding of all our championships.”
Money also could be made available for a number of other worthwhile
projects. Schultz mentioned drug education and drug testing, more postgraduate scholarships, and catastrophic medical insurance for all Division
I-A football schools. “We could do
that for every I-A school in the country,” said Schultz, “for a yearly premium of just over $1.5 million.”
In addition, said Schultz, some of
the money should be set aside as an
endowment, the interest from which
could provide the NCAA with extra
operating revenue or as a safety net in
times of unexpected financial hardship.
At the same time, Schultz wants to
do right by the 282 Division I basketball schools and make sure as many
of them as possible share in toumament proceeds. Figures from 1986 are
not available; but in 1985,249 of the
282 schools received money from the
national tournament as part of conference revenue-sharing arrangements.
This year, first-round losers in the
64-team tournament are expected to
receive $200,675, with survivors getting incremental increases of approximately %200,000 for each game they
win until they reach the Final Four.
Schultz said he isn’t sure yet of the
breakdown for 1988-89, but there is
some sentiment to increase moneys
paid to first- and second-round losers
and pay smaller increases to those
that reach the third round and higher.
It is possible, Schultz said, that
first-round losers in 1988 might be
paid upwards of %350,000, but he
added that the committee was con-
cemed such an amount might encourage more Division II teams to
seek Division I status. “That’s where
it gets tricky,” said Schultz.
No matter how the details are
worked out, there’s more than enough
money to go around. Even if the 6040 split is kept, the NCAA stands to
realize nearly $25 million off the 1988
Division I tournament, a boost of
$8.4 million over 1987.
“What has happened,” said Schultz,
“is that we have ensured the future of
the NCAA for a number of years as a
first-class organization.”
Looking
The focus of what the institution
offers will be on achieving high test
scores rather than chahenging young
minds. Instead of opening up the
process, it will narrow its scope to
anticipating how to satisfy those who
control the government’s pursestrings.
In fact, it might be argued that the
efficiency of the educational process
is being called into question because
it already has become more oriented
to serving the needs of the bureaucrat
instead of the student.
Since higher education has become
almost an entitlement since the early
196Os,Academe has become big business. The primary reason it has become big business is that big
government has big bucks in the form
of financial aid to students, professors
and institutions alike.
In some respects, this probably has
had a salubrious effect. Not only has
it upgraded the quality of life for
those employed in Academe, but it
also has made a higher education
available to deserving youngsters who
otherwise might not have been able to
get one.
But this growth hasn’t come without trade-offs, and one of them has
been the necessity to open the system
to many who probably lack either the
intellectual capacity or the preparation
to handle college work.
Thus, as a practical matter, now
that government has forced Academe
to serve a certain segment of the
population incapable of optimum
performance, it seems highly unfair
to link financial support to arbitrarily
established measures of student performance.
If measurable excellence is really
what we’re after, the only realistic way
to achieve it is to allow institutions to
close their doors to only the best and
brightest.
This can’t be done explicitly; but if
smart administrators are pressured to
prove the worth of their institutions,
you can bet they11 find ways to limit
accessto all but those they perceive as
“college material.”
If this were to happen, those from
segments of society who have benefited most from expanded access to
higher education would once again
find their opportunities severely limited.
That would be a pity, because the
worth of a higher education is an
incalculable thing that goes far beyond
being able to score well on tests or get
a job after graduation. If a higher
education does nothing more than
enrich intellectual lives in ways that
can’t be quantified, it should be considered worth it.

Interpretations
1987 Column No. 1
Contact of student-athletes withdrawn
from four-year college
(Revises Case No. 203)
Situation: A student-athlete officially withdraws from a four-year collegiate
institution. (302)
Question: Is it necessary for the NCAA member institution to contact the
first four-year institution to obtain permission to contact the student-athlete
concerning possible transfer?
Answer: Yes, if the contact with the student-athlete occurs within one
academic year following the student-athlete’s official withdrawal from the first
institution. [B 1-2-(g)]
Luncheon meeting expenses
(New case)
Situation: A local booster club or civic organization wishes to invite a
student-athlete to be its guest at a luncheon meeting of the group. (648).
Question: May the student-athlete receive transportation and meal expenses
in conjunction with participation in the luncheon?
Answer: Yes, provided the meeting occurs within 30 miles of the institution’s
main campus and no tangible award is provided the student-athlete. [C 3-14h)(4)l
High school all-star contest
(Revises Case No. 159)
Situation: A student-athlete may jeopardize intercollegiate eligibility if,
following completion of high school eligibility in the student-athlete’s sport and
before enrollment in college, the student-athlete was a member of a squad that
engaged in any all-star football or basketball contest contrary to the
requirements of Constitution 3-9<a). (577)
Question: What is the definition of a high school all-star contest for purposes
of thii regulation?
Answer: A high school all-star contest shall be any contest in the sport of
football or basketball that meets the following criteria: (1) The teams
participating in the contest involve individuals who have completed their high
school eligibility in the sport and have not yet enrolled in and attended classes
during a regular term at a collegiate institution; (2) the contest is scheduled and
publicized in advance; (3) the competition is sponsored and promoted by an
individual, organization or agency, and (4) the individuals are selected for
participation in the contest on an invitational basis and have not competed
togcther previously as members of a team that played a regular schedule of
games in an organized recreation or interscholastic program. Contests that are
conducted under these criteria would be considered all-star competition for
purposes of this legislation unless one or more of the following conditions is
applicable: (a) The contest occurs within the framework of a regularly
scheduled recreational program involving participants from the community
solely in which the sponsor is located; (b) the competition is limited solely to
participants from the community in which the sponsor is located and no
revenue, including gate receipts, concessions, program sales or contribution is
scheduled within the framework of an established cultural exchange program
involving other educational activities, or (d) the contest is scheduled in
conjunction with developmental competition sponsored by the national
governing body of amateur of basketball (ABAUSA) or an active member
thereof. Multiple competition (e.g., tournaments) involving more than one
contest or two teams will be considered high school competition if the specified
criteria are applicable, and each game conducted under such circumstances
would be considered a countable contest for purposes of determining a
student-athlete’s compliance with the requirements of this regulation. [C 3-9-

As in the past, appeals of Eligibility
Committee decisions will be handled

has adopted a federated approach to
case disposition.
“Sometime between now and
April,” Morgan said, “the Council
members on the Eligibility Committee
and the division subcommittee chairs
expect to meet with the members of
the Council’s Subcommittee on Eligibility Appeals. Their goal is to develop
consistency in procedures for handling
case disposition. It also is hoped that
the procedures the groups develop
wiIl be easy to understand and follow
by the membership.”
Morgan said the group would discharge most of its duties through the
use of telephone conferences and probably would meet only twia a year as
a full body.
Staffing changes also have been
implemented for the committee,
which previously had been staffed by
members of the Association’s legislative services department. Eligibility
matters now will be handled by Morgan and Janet M. Justus of the compliance and enforcement department.
Morgan noted that eligibility rulings

Basketball coaching staff -Proposal
No. 136
As noted in 1987 Legislative Assistance Column No. 5, the Division I
subcommittee of the Legislation and Interpretations Committee has reviewed
the implementation of 1987 Convention Proposal No. 136, which stipulates
that Division I member institutions cannot employ a part-time assistant coach
(in addition to the head coach and two full-time assistants) in the sport of
basketball beyond August 1, 1987. The continued employment of a part-time
assistant basketball coach by a Division I member institution subsequent to
August 1, 1987, would be permissible only if the institution had in effect prior
to the adjournment (6:30 p.m. Pacific time, January 9, 1987) of the 1987
Convention a written obligation to the part-time assistant through academic
tenure, an enforceable contract or a formal security of employment comrnitment. After considering the implementation of this regulation, the Division I
subcommittee concluded that each Division I member institution that purports
to have on file such a written commitment authorizing the continuation
(beyond August 1,1987) of the employment of a part-time assistant basketball
coach shall forward a copy of the written commitment to the NCAA national
office for further review. Any such employment commitments involving
Division I part-time assistant basketball coaches should be forwarded to the
national office no later than February 16, 1987.
Printed recruiting aids--Proposal No. 88
As noted in 1987 Legislative Assistance Column No. 5, the Legislation and
Interpretations Committee has reviewed the application of 1987 Convention
Proposal No. 88, which was adopted as amended at the 1987 Convention to
specify that the annual athletics press guide and recruiting brochure must
utilize only one color of printing inside the covers. The committee has
determined that a member institution may not develop a separate press guide
or brochure to send to the media or alumni that does not meet the
specifications outlined in Proposal No. 88; further, that a member institution
may not avoid compliance with this regulation by developing prior to August
I, 1987 (the effective date for Proposal No. 88), a multicolored press guide or
recruiting brochure that relates to any sports playing season that is initiated
subsequent to August 1, 1987. The committee notes that the purpose of this
interpretation is to preclude distribution of any multicolored press guide or
recruiting brochure by a member institution subsequent to August 1, 1987.
Bylaw 5-l-(j)--Proposal
No. 69
1987 Convention Proposal No. 69 provides that until August 1, 1987, a
student who was educated in a secondary school outside the United States, has
satisfied the grade-point and core-cuniculum requirements, was admitted
under an institutional admissions procedure that does not require the ACT or
SAT for such students generally, and who has not taken either test prior to
initial enrollment may satisfy the SAT or ACT requirement of Bylaw S-14) by
taking the test successfully at the first local, regularly scheduled opportunity
after initial enrollment. The Division I subcommittee of the Legislation and
Interpretations Committee has affumed that the provisions of Proposal No. 69
would require student-athletes who meet the specified criteria to take the SAT
or ACT examination on a national testing date; further, that such individuals
may be permitted to utilize test scores from an ACT or SAT examination taken
subsequent to their initial collegiate enrollment or the adoption of Proposal
No. 69 on the first national testing date for which they have an opportunity to
register.
Basketball evaluation seasons-Proposal
No. 49
The Divisions I and II subcommittees of the Legislation and Interpretations
Committee have reviewed the implementation of 1987 Convention Proposal
No. 49 as it was amended at the 1987 Convention in reference to evaluation
seasons in those states that conduct their high school basketball seasons in the
fall The Divisions I and II subcommittees confirmed that Proposal No. 49, as
amended, establishes separate evaluation periods (without December and
February dates) for those high school basketball seasons that are conducted
solely in the fall by the states in question. It was noted that these evaluation
periods, when coupled with applicable contact periods, are intended to provide
a sufficient opportunity for the evaluation of prospective student-athletes
participating in fall basketball programs. It is the committee’s understanding
that such programs are conducted for women’s basketball in the states of
Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Virginia and West
Virginia.

men’s coaches favor the three-pointer,
four to three, reports Dennis Collins,
NCAC executive director. Two favored moving the line back a foot.
Ohio Wesleyan’s Gene Mehaffey,
coach of the two-time NCAC champions and a career 354-game winner,
spoke for the opposition: “Three times
zero is still zero . . . . I prefer the game
as it was, which rewarded those teams
who could effectively go to the hoop
and score.”
Wooster’s Lu Wims, who recently
got his 200th career victory, spoke for
the majority: “It is good for the game
because it opens up and cleans up the
play inside, and it gives the little man
a chance to be a factor. I feel that is
important. Finally, it keeps a team in
a game as never before.”
Case Reserve’s 65 three-pointers
rank first. Quips coach Bill Sudeck,
referring to his school’s famous engineering curriculum: “My guys have
slide rules in their head. They calculate
the arc of the ball, distance and wind
velocity, all in a split second. This
proves academics and athletics can go
together.”
Kenyon’s 51.8 percent leads the
conference, which is shooting 40.6
percent-above the national accuracy
mark in all three divisions (NCAC
teams are in Division III).
760 for Gaines
Winston-Salem State coach Clarence “Big House” Gaines recently got
his 760th career coaching victory,
upsetting North Carolina A&T That
moved him into fourth on the alltime, alldivisions list, trailing only
Rupp (875) of Kentucky, E C. “Phog”
Allen (771) of Kansas and Henry
“Hank” Iba (767) of Oklahoma State.
Wright State’s Ralph Underhill,
with the highest winning percentage
in Division II (.808) entering the
season, recently got his 200th career
victory against 48 losses.
The race for second
Kansas is the only team with a
current home streak dating back into
the 1984 season. Thirteen games behind the Jayhawks at 31 is Northeastem, with its next home game February 14 against Boston U. Next are
Bradley at 24(nexl at home: February
7, Memphis State), Texas Christian
22 (February 12 against Southern
Methodist) and Cleveland State 21
(February 7 against Memphis State).
Seventeen Division I teams had
perfect home records last season, and
notes
12 already have been beaten at home..
Memphis State opened with 37 butt
quickly lost to Nevada-Las Vegas.
Chicago State, now in just its third
season in Division I, ran its home
streak to 75 games before losing Deamber 29 to Mississippi Valley State.
The streak dated back to 1981, and
the first four years included games
mainly against NAIA opponents.
II and III leaders
Abilene Christian had the longest
reported current home streak in Division I1 at 37 games, heading into a
February 3 home game with Ea.%
Texas State.
Denver holds the Division II record
at 79, from 1980 to 1985.
DePauw led Division III with a
record 59 straight home victories heading into a February 4 home game
with Taylor.
Women trying three-pointer
Eleven women’s Division I conference are experimenting with the threepointer this season (same distance as
the men: 21 feet to the backboard
from the top of the key). We have
received figures from six conferences,
and they show that women are shying
away from the shot, for the most part.
Combining the six conferences, players are attempting only about 1.5 per
game and making about 0.5 per game,
with an accuracy percentage of less
than 32 percent.
There are some notable exceptions,
of course. Gail LoBue of Southeastern
Louisiana is 13-for-26 for 50 percent.
She has made more three-pointers
than the rest of the Gulf Star Conference combined. In the Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference, Barb
Perkes, Eastern Illinois freshman, is
19 of 40 for 47.5 percent, Marialice
Jenkins of Southern Illinois is 13-31
for 41.9 and Diane Roberts of Northern Iowa is 1947 for 40.4. Gateway
players have made nearly one per
game (148 in 167 games)-- about
twice the national average---and are
shooting 32.2 percent.
Penn State leads the Atlantic IO
with 46.4 percent on 13 of 28.
Rice players have nearly as many
three-pointers (34) as the rest of the
Southwest Athletic Conference com-
Quotes of the week
Hunter College under Jeff Bieders
is struggling at 3-15. He was feeling ill
with a virus before a recent game and
thought of letting his assistant run
things, but, “At the last minute, 1
thought I’d better make it. The way
things are going, I was afraid everyone
would think I was forced to take the
night off.” (Jeff Bernstein, Hunter
SID)
Southampton coach Bill McGonegal’s New Year’s resolution: win a
road game. After nine straight road
losses, he tried something new. “I
decided home cooking might be the
answer,” he said. “So I packed box
lunches for the trip to Quinnipiac. It
worked. We won, 95-91.” (Bill HujF
man, Southampton SID)
Pan American’s Charles “Junior”
Ray, 6-9 and 285, takes a lot of
kidding about his size (fans shout
“boom” on the road when he sits
down). But he quiets them with 88.9
Can You Top These?
When Notre Dame’s giant-killer’s
upset No. l-ranked North Carolina,
60-58, February I, it was the fifth
time in the last 13 seasons the Irish
have knocked off the country’s No. Iranked men’s team. It started with
that 71-70 victory over UCLA at
South Bend in 1974, ending the longest winning streak in history at 88
games.
North Adams State has made a
complete reversal from last year’s 321 record to a current 1 l-3 mark
under second-year men’s coach John
Quattrochi. Can any team top that
turnaround? (John Quatrrochi, North
Adams State head coach)
Youngstown State’s Tilman Beverly
scored 55 points in a recent game
against Tennessee Tech, tying the
Ohio Valley Conference record set by
Western Kentucky’s Clem Haskins
(now Minnesota head coach) 22 years
ago. Beverly was 19-for-27 from the
field, including 4-8 in three pointers,
and 13-for-17 at the line. Is 55 the
men’s national single-game high this
season in Division I? (Greg Gulus.
Youngstown State SID)
California’s women’s team has three
starters who are members of the Finnish national team. They are sophomore guard Mia Kuusisto, freshman
guard Anja Hellman and sophomore
forward Seija Leino. Hellman is shooting 56.7 percent, mostly from threepoint range, and hopes the women
adopt the three-pointer in 1988. Leino
was a former junior national high
jump champion in Finland. She casually cleared 54 ou her first try down
at the track one day and track coach
Tony Sandoval, wide-eyed, promptly
picked a new team member. (Chris
Dawson, Califbrnia women S SID)

The NCAA
Prospects bright for Trojans’ return to power
By Gibson Smith
The NCAA News Staff
After years in the shadow of Pacific10 Conference rivals Stanford and
UCLA, Southern California may be
ready to return to the sunlight of a
Division 1 team tennis title.
Coach Dick Leach’s Trojans, featuring two of the top players in the
nation, have been picked as the favorite for the men’s crown by the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association
(ITCA).
Except for Georgia’s homecourt
victory in 1985, the Division 1 Men’s
Tennis Championship team title has
remained in California since 1973.
Stanford, the defending champion,
has won eight times during that period
and UCLA five times. The Trojans,
second only to the Bruins in total
Division I tennis titles, last were seen
in the winner’s circle in 1976, sharing
the prize with UCLA.
Senior Rick Leach (the coach’s
son) and sophomore Luke Jensen,
second and third behind Southern
Methodist’s Richey Reneberg in
ITCA preseason singles rankings,
give Southern California a potent
one-two punch. The younger Leach,
top-rated in singles play throughout
the 1986 season, lost only one match
in individual competition before being
eliminated in the quarterfinals of the
Division 1 singles competition. Jensen
fell to Reneberg in the opening round
after a sensational freshman season.
Sophomore John Can-as (ITCA
No. 22), senior Jonas Wallgard and
junior Scott Brownsberger also return
from the 1986 team.
Stanford and UCLA remain among
the top-ranked teams, along with
1986 runner-up Pepperdine and
Luke Jensen
Patrick McEnroe
Southwest Conference powers Southern Methodist and Texas.
“Being No. 1 in the preseason
doesn’t mean anything,” the elder
Leach said. “We know we have a
good team, but there are a lot of other
good teams out there. I think SMU,
UCLA and Pepperdine are just as
good as we are, and there are a whole
bunch of good teams just below that.
We have to prove ourselves by winning four days in a row against that
kind of competition.”
A rundown of the rest of the ITCA
top 10, in order, follows:
Southern Methodist ~ Reneberg
followed a brilliant 1985 freshman
season with a runner-up finish in
Division I singles last spring. After a
fag campaign that saw him capture
the Volvo all-America title, he is the
player to beat in 1987. Also on hand
in Dallas are junior Stefan Kruger
(No. 6) and senior Den Bishop (No.
17). Reneberg and Bishop are ranked
fifth in doubles, with Kruger and
senior Ed Ross seventh.
UCLA-Depth
and doubles play
will be the strengths of the Bruins,
who will seek their 16th Division I
team championship. Glenn Bassett’s
squad has four players in the top 40,
led by Tim Triguero (No. 15). Also
ranked by the ITCA are senior Brett
Greenwood (No. 34), Don Nahirney
(No. 37) and Buff Farrow (No. 38).
Nahirney and Patrick Galbreath are
No. 6 in doubles listings and Triguero
and Farrow No. 8.
Pepperdine-Tied
with the Bruins
at No. 3, Pepperdine hopes to overcome the loss of all-America Kelly
Jones with the addition of freshmen
Andrew Sznaidjer and David WellsRoth. The Waves now have finished
second in Division I twice, trailing
UCLA in 1982 and losing to Stanford
in last spring’s final. Robby Weiss,
Marty Laurendeau and Augustine
Moreno ail are ranked in the top 50
individually.
Texa-A
veteran team hopes to
shake Southern Methodist loose from
the Southwest Conference championship and make a fourth straight
NCAA tournament appearance. Senior Royce Deppe, a singles quarterfinalist last season, is 10th in the
preseason singles poll. He and classmate Charles Beckman, doubles teammates throughout their college careers
and NCAA runners-up in 1985, are
second in the preseason doubles poll.
Stanford-The
defending champion Cardinal plummets to sixth in
preseason rankings with the loss of
four key seniors, including 1986 singles champion Dan Goldie. Also gone
are Jim Grabb, John Letts and Eric
Rosenfeld, who helped Stanford upset
three higher-seeded teams at the charnpionships in Athens, Georgia, last
May. Junior Patrick McEnroe of the
1987 team is ranked No. 9 in both
singles and, with Scott Moody, doubles.
Georgia-Coach
Dan Magi11 returns five standouts from last year’s
squad as the Bulldogs seek to regain
the Southeastern Conference title.
Senior Philip Johnson (No. 7) will try
to bring the Division 1 singles trophy
back to Athens, where Mikael Pernfors won before the home crowd in
1984 and 1985. Junior Trey Carter
and sophomore Stephen Enochs are
also in the ITCA top 30.
Clemson-The
Tigers lost three
1986 all-Americas but still are favored
to win a f&th straight championship
in the Atlantic Coast Conference and
return to the Division I tournament.
Junior Brian Page (No. 21) teams
with Matt Frooman to form a potent
doubles combination
for Chuck
Kriese, USPTA national coach of the
year last season.
Tennessee-A surprise winner in
the Southeastern Conference last
spring, Tennessee seeks to hold that
title with the help of the nation’s topranked doubles team. Juniors Shelby
Cannon and Byron Talbot will be
joined on the Volunteer roster by
prize transfers Tom Gales (1985 Division II doubles champion at Stephen
E Austin State, which dropped its
tennis program) and Chuck Swayne.
Louisiana State-The
Tigers are
another strong entry in the Southeastern Conference, one of the most
competitive leagues in collegiate tennis. Leading the way is junior Billy
Uribe, No. 25 in the preseason poll.
Carlos Homedes is the lone senior for
Louisiana State, which lost only to
Georgia in winning the SEC’s regularseason conference championship.
Miami (Florida)-Sharing
the 10th
spot in the preseason poll with Louisiana State are the Hurricanes, who
feature a senior-laden lineup and a
pair of promising Swedish newcomers.
Andrew Burrow and Chuck Willenborg are proven veterans. Top junior
college player OUie Jonsson and freshman Johan Donar will help compensate for the loss of Steve Kennedy, a
late defector to the professional
ranks.

Is it time for the Stanford women
to break the pattern?
Since the NCAA Division 1 Women’s Tennis Championships began in
1982, Stanford and Southern California have alternated claiming the
prize. But now, in an odd calendar
year, the Cardinal is favored by the
Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association (ITCA) to become the first
team to claim two straight titles.
With four players in the ITCA
preseason top-20 singles rankings,
coach Frank Brennan has his eye on a
fourth national crown.
Defending Division I singles champion Patty Fendick (ranked No. 4
among singles players) and Leigh
Anne Eldredge (No. 9) lead the experienced team. The two seniors also
are ranked fifth among doubles combinations. Junior Kay Tittle and sophomore Eleni Rossides are 17th and
18th, respectively, and Cari Hegey
and Stephanie Savides gives Stanford
another top-10 doubles team.
Eldredge and Rossides both have
been hampered by stress fractures but
could be back at full strength for the
stretch run.
“We have a pretty good group
together, if we can get everybody
healthy,” Brennan said. ‘USC is always right on our heels and it may
come down to who’s healthy at tournament time. But it’s a great advantage playing where we do. We play
against the best, and usually we play
the top teams twice. Teams from
other regions sometimes come to the
tournament not sure what they can
do.”
Here is a rundown of the rest of the
top 10 teams in the ITCA poll:
Southern
Cnlifornia~Caroline
K&man, singles runner-up as a freshman in 1985, sparks Southern Cali-
Rmni Reis (left) and L&e Gregory, Miami (Florida)
fomia’s hopes for returning to the
winner’s circle. The junior is ranked
No. 2 in the preseason poll. Classmate
Mary Norwood is ranked 12th. Also
back from last year’s national finalists
are senior Maeve Quinlan and sophomore Ginny Purdy. The success of
Dave Borelli’s team may ride on doubles, where the Trojans have
scrambled their combinations.
Miami (Florida)-Tied
with Southern California at No. 2, Miami (Florida) has placed second and third in
Division I the last two seasons. The
best of the independents, the Hurri-
canes feature the top-ranked doubles
team, Ronni Reis and Lise Gregory.
Reis and Gregory (No. 5 and No. 6,
respectively, in singles) were 29-O last
year in winning the doubles title.
Elizabeth Levinson and Kerri Reiter
are also in the top 50 individually.
TKnity (Texas)-Four-time
allAmerica Gretchen Rush has graduated, but the rest of the Tigers’ top six
return. Junior Ann Hulbert, who
reached the finals with Rush last
May, is No. 20 in the preseason poll.
Also ranked are Elvyn Barrable (No.
24), Jane Holdren (No. 29) and Jana
Klepec (No. 33). Barrable and Klepec
are No. 14 in doubles.
Cnlifornia-The
return of Junior
Wightman Cup veterans Jennifer
Prah and Karen Shin boosts California’s hopes of returning to the Division I quarterfinals. Prah is No. 10 in
the ITCA listings and Shin No. 11.
Sophomore Sharon Fletcher also will
help the Golden Bears, who won six
straight crowns in the Northern Pacific Athletic Conference.
Texas -With two players in the
top 15 of the ITCA singles rankings,
Texas hopes to take the Southwest
Athletic Conference crown from Texas
A&M. Both the Longhorns and the
Aggies lost to California powers in
the first round last year. Beverly Bowes
is No. 3 and Anne Grousbeck is No.
15, and the pair is eighth in doubles.
Eileen Tell (No. 39) and Lanae
Renschler (No. 47) provide depth.
Northwestern ~ Senior Diane Donnelly and sophomore Katrina Adams
are ranked third in doubles and should
win a third straight Big Ten Conference championship. Adams, 1986
ITCA freshman of the year, is No. 14
in singles and the often-overlooked
Donnelly is No. 19. The Wildcats lost
to Stanford in last year’s quarterfinals.
San Diego State-The top-ranked
singles player in Division I is Aztec
sophomore Monique Javer. Missing
is all-America Cynthia MacGregor,
but Ann Moeller (No. 25) gives San
Diego State another strong singles
player. Moeller and Jessica Buss are
No. 18 among doubles combinations
for the Aztecs, defending champion
in the Pacific Coast Athletic Association.
UCLA-The
Bruins, hosts of the
Division I championships May 14-21
in Los Angeles, have strength in doubles, where Jane Thomas and Jennifer
Fuchs are ranked fourth. Joni Urban
(No. 36) is another proven performer,
and the return from injury of Allyson
Cooper, who enjoyed an outstanding
fall season, boosts UCLA into a contending position.
Oklahoma State-The
Cowgirls
have won the Big Eight Conference
for six straight years and should have
little trouble repeating in 1987. Senior
Renata Baranski is ranked No. 16
and junior Libbie Brende is No. 40.
Brende and veteran Lorna Browne

Mustang men, Cougar women are favored in Division II
Southern
Illinois-Edwardsville,
which last year became the first team
besides Tennessee-Chattanooga to
win a Division II women’s title since
1983, will be a favorite to repeat in
1987. The Cougars hope to maintain
a school tradition that saw the men’s
team win eight straight national championship. On the men’s side, UC Davis
is the preseason favorite to keep the
title in California.
II men
Division
After seeing Southern Illinois-Edwardsville win eight straight national
championships, the California schools
have bounced back to join their Division I brethren at the top of the heap.
Chapman broke the Cougars’ streak
in 1985 and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo
won last spring.
This season, the favorite in the
ITCA preseason poll is UC Davis,
which has four players among the top
40 singles performers.
Senior Aleco Preovolos, ranked
No. 4, leads the Mustangs, who finished third in Division II last year
Also on hand are veterans Cort
Schultz (No. 13), Chris Newman (No.
34) and Benji Aguirre (No. 48). However, Aguirre has suffered from back
problems and may be limited in his
1987 action.
In doubles rankings, Preovolos and
Newman are No. 2 and Schultz and
Aguirre No. IS. Preovolos teamed
with Elliott Dun to reach the 1986
doubles semifinals.
“We’re honored to be ranked so
high,,’ said coach Bob Biggs, “but it
doesn’t mean much until we prove
ourselves. We’re facing a formidable
schedule and we should know more
about ourselves by tournament time.”
Hampton, which lost to UC Davis,
54, in the third-place match, is ranked
second in the preseason poll. The
Pirates, national champions in 1976
and runners-up in 1985, feature the
top-rated doubles team in Rozzell
Lightfoot and Greg Williams. Lightfoot and Williams also are Nos. 5 and
6, respectively, in singles rankings.
Datus Murray (No. 29), Stephen
Martin (No. 42) and Eduardo Afini
(No. 49) provide depth for Hampton.
Chapman suffered a bitter end to
its 1986 season. A preseason favorite
to repeat, the Panthers lost, 54, in the
final, where all three doubles matches
went the full three sets. Gone is fourtime all-America Troy Tttmbull, but
Paul Wekesa and Olivier Amerlinck
are ranked seventh and eighth this
season in singles. Amerlinck teams
with Paul Charleswotth (No. 50) to
form the No. 7 doubles team and
Wekesa and Barry Hancock are No.
11.
Rollins’ Pat Emmet will be looking
for individual honors in 1987 while
leading the Tars’ drive for the championship. Emmet, ranked No. 2 in
singles, lost in the semifinals last
season to eventual champion Neil
Smith of Stephen F. Austin State.
Rollins, ranked fourth in the preseason
listings, has three other players in the
top 30, including Pat Johnson (No. 9)
and Robert Green (No. 25), who with
Emmet also is ranked third in doubles.
*
Defending champion Cal Poly-San
Luis Obispo returns only Dale Minney from last year’s primary lineup,
but adds strong players in Mike Giusto (No. 18), Jim Ault (No. 27) and
Tim Fresenius (No. 33). Giusto and
Steve Vogt form a strong doubles
team in the tradition of the Mustangs’
Paul Landry and Bob Zoller, who lost
only one set on their way to the 1986
Division II doubles crown.
Cal State Hayward welcomes the
arrival of Mauricio Achondo from
Stephen F. Austin State, which
dropped tennis after a successful history in the sport. Achondo is the topranked player in the competitive West
region and ranks No. 3 nationally.
Sophomore Tom Edwards is No. 23
and junior college product Tom Bogar
(NO. 38) is No. 6 in doubles with
Achondo.
Defending Division III champions
should contend again for crowns
Defending Division III men’s team
champion Kalamazoo and women’s
champion Trenton State each lose
national singles titlists from last year,
but have enough remaining talent to
contend again in 1987.
Division
III men
Kalamazoo, which won its third
Division III title last May, enters the
new season as the favorite to repeat.
National singles champion Timon
Corwin has graduated, but coach
George Acker welcomes back defending doubles champs Alex Palladino
and Jim Burda. The senior tandem is
listed No. I in the ITCA preseason
poll, with Palladino No. 8 in singles.
Also on hand is junior Jack Hosner
(No. 37), but the Hornets will miss
Convin and fellow all-America Butch
Gebhardt.
Kalamazoo, which has been champion or runner-up in Division III six
times since 1976, now has won the
Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference crown 48 straight times.
Washington and Lee, runner-up
last spring, is tabbed for the same
spot in 1987 but has the experience
and depth to challenge the Hornets.
Junior David McLeod is ranked No.
19, and teammates Roby Mize and
Bobby Matthews are also in the top
30.
Robert Haley, a transfer from
Army, is the Generals’ key. His development could boost Washington and
Lee’s hopes for the title.
Swarthmore, champion in 1985,
faces a realignment of doubles combinations this season but boasts strong
singles players in Dave Sobeland and
Vivek Varma.
Whitman’s Chris Gregerson is the
ITCA’s top-ranked preseason singles
player. He lost to Convin in the national finals last year as a freshman.
Dave Oh&son (No. 30) is another
quality performer for the Missionaries.
When the newly formed University
Athletic Association stages its first
tennis tournament, Emory will be the
favorite. The Eagles are led by No. 7
Steve Gittleson and No. 11 Jimmy
Strauss.
Gustavus Adolphus, national champion in 1980 and 1982, is listed as the
preseason’s No. 5 team but faces a
rebuilding process.
Washington (Maryland) is led by
seniors Alejandro Hernandez and
Edna Olivarez
Enrique Leal, ranked behind only
Palladino and Burda among doubles
teams.
After finishing ninth last year with
a team dominated by freshmen and
sophomores, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps
may be in a position to move up in
1987. Frank Hinman (No. 12) is the
top gun.
UC Santa Cruz, Rochester and
Wisconsin-Stout round out the preseason top 10 as voted by ITCA.
The rest of the top 20 includes
Wheaton (Illinois), Carleton, DePauw, Redlands, Ripon, St. Thomas
(Minnesota), Wooster, Denison and
Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Division
III women
At Trenton State, people are wondering if there is life after Debbie
Daniel.
The defending champion Lions
must face 1987 without their ace, who
turned pro after two brilliant seasons.
Daniel unseated two-time defending
champion Courtney Allen of Principia to win the singles title last year.
*Maybe we can’t expect to be as
dominating in No. 1 singles,” said
coach Brenda Campbell. “However,
we could be even stronger in the rest
of the lineup.”
Trenton State, which won by 54
margins in both the quarterfinals and
semifinals, hopes to become the first
school to win a second Division III
women’s crown.
All-America senior Kathy Crowley,
who teamed with Daniel to reach the
doubles finals, now is paired with
freshman Tracy Prasa. Amy Danser
is another proven veteran.
Perennial power Davidson, topranked in the preseason poll a year
ago, wiU compete in Division I this
season.
Occidental, last year’s runner-up,
has five of its top players back. Sophomore Sue Hulse was player of the
year in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and,
with teammate Kristin Carter, looks
to make an impact in doubles as well.
Carter, now a senior, was an NCAA
doubles finalist in 1985. Juniors Kiki
Rue, Kendal Junta and Harriet Wilcox will also contribute.
Linda Topolsky was a top player
for Kalamazoo for the last four seasons. This year, she will make a fifth
NCAA tournament appearance, this
time as coach of the Hornets. Sophomore Morgan Vis, junior Beth Blachut and an outstanding crop of
recruits could lead the team to an
improvement on last year’s thirdplace finish. Kalamazoo will host the
Division III tournament for a third
time, May 12-16.
Colorado College, loser last year to
Kalamazoo for third place, is led by
seniors Melissa Forbes and Kathleen
Delaney and junior Sara Ryan.
Emory enters 1987 with three players with national experience. Top-10
singles player Sandy Stein is joined
by Cherie Brusko and Jennia Flick.
Luther should continue its dominance of the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and return to the
NCAA field. Senior Karen Newcomer
and junior doubles combination Melanie Miller and Kris Rutland lead the
Norse effort.
Mary Washington, another 1986
quarterfinalist, has all six singles players back, led by junior Suzie Groah
and sophomore Mitzi Kimball. The
Blue Tide adds key freshmen Gerri
Hirsch and Dawn Schiller.
Principia boasts perhaps the biggest
name in the history of Division III
women’s tennis. Senior Courtney
Allen, dominant since her freshman
season, has won two singles and two
doubles titles and made the singles
finals again last year. Junior Sue
Godfrey is on hand to help her defend
the doubles championship.
Portia George, Steve Holmes and Christina Bokelund. Southern
lllinoti-Edwardrville
The dominant team in Division 11
over the last decade, Southern IllinoisEdwardsville, is on the rebound with
a team dominated by sophomores.
Steve Holmes (No. 10) earned ahAmerica honors as a freshman and is
now the top-rated player in the Midwest. His classmates include Marco
Winter (No. 24) and Dion Joannau
(No. 40).
A sophomore is also the top player
for Abilene Christian. Neil Berryman,
currently No. 11 in singles, reached
the doubles finals with veteran Roger
White last spring. He now teams with
Shane ‘Thompson to rank 10th. The
Wildcat roster also includes senior
Mickey Navarro (No. 38) and newcomers Matthias Poth and Michael
White.
After losing to UC Davis to finish
seventh last season, Tennessee-Martin
must rebuild its squad fahowing the
graduation of several standouts, including Martin Bromfield. Only senior Richard Blond (No. 40) returns,
but joining the Pacer roster is Richard
Robinson (No. 15). The veteran and
the newcomer are No. 20 among
doubles teams.
The top-rated player in Division II
is Ken Olivier, who leads defending
Lone Star Conference champion East
Texas State. Olivier reached the semifinals in NCAA singles play last
spring. Also on hand is David Bushnell (No. 21), who pairs with Olivier
to form the No. 4 doubles combination.
Other top-ranked teams, by region,
include: East-Bloomsburg
(12th),
Mercyhurst (17th) and Millersville
(20th); South-Florida
Atlantic
(14th), North Alabama (18th) and
Florida International (19th); Midwest-Ferris
State (15th), and
West- UC Riverside (1 lth), Cal State
Bakersfield (13th) and Cal State
Northridge (16th).
Division II women
Southern Illinois-Edwardsvihe had
all the luck in the world last spring.
But the Cougars return the talent to
maintain that good fortune in 1987.
At last year’s championships, Bob
Meyers’ team won three matches by
54 margins, including the final showdown with Cal State Northridge. With
everyone back from that squad, it
may not be as close this time around.
Portia George, a freshman sensation in 1986, returns to pace the
Cougar effort. The South Carolinian
reached the quarterfinals in both singles and doubles to earn all-America
honors as a rookie.
George’s doubles partner is Christina Bokelund, another sophomore
standout. Junior Michelle Wreen is
also on hand.
The Cougars’chances to repeat are
enhanced further by. the move of
Tennessee-Chattanooga, champion
from 1983 through 1985, to Division
I.
Cal State Northridge, the first Di-
vision II women’s champion in 1982,
almost returned to the winner’s circle
in 1986, falling to Southern BlinoisEdwardsville in the last of the three
doubles matches. Back to try again
are junior Missy Conn, a singles quarterfinahst, and sophomore Kelly Grattan.
Five other California schools could
provide further challenges to Southern
Illinois-Edwardsville.
Cal Poly-Pomona has five players
back from its 1986 third-place team,
including three seniors. Mary Holycross reached the singles quarterfinals
and the doubles semifinals. She and
sophomore Xenia Anastasiadou, a
member of the Greek national team,
lost to the eventual doubles champions, Sandra Elliott and Nancy Roe
of Northern Colorado. Senior Debbie
Jung had the Broncos’ best singles
record.
UC Davis also has its 1986 nucleus
back, including Karen Astrachan, ahAmerica in singles as a freshman.
Edged 54 by Cal State Northridge in
the third-place match, the Mustangs
also return senior Helen Nazar, who
was ah-America in 1984 and could
contend for national honors again
this season.
Northern Colorado must start over
after losing the two top individual
players in Division II. Sandra Elliott
and Nancy Row won their second
straight national doubles title (Elliott
shared it in 1983 as well), and Roe
beat her partner in the singles final.
Senior Tricia Halle provides a solid
foundation for Coach Rosemary Fri’s
rebuilding program.
Abilene Christian welcomes everyone back from last year’s tournament
team and adds an outstanding newcomer. Donna Sykes was all-America
as a freshman and senior Carol Tavor
reached the doubles quarterfinals.
Transfer Kim Gidley strengthens the
Wildcats.
Cal State Bakersfield loses a&America Mary Ann Hodges and two other
key players. Still around is junior
Mary Beth Hueve, who reached last
year’s doubles quarterfinals with
Hodges. However, the Roadrunners
must find more help.
Cal State Los Angeles is young but
talented. Sophomore Edna Olivarez
is the top-ranked singles player in
Division II. She was the ITCA rookie
of the year after reaching the 1986
singles semifinals. Other key players
include senior Jill Gauthier and sophomore Candace Wong.
Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo is another California school likely to contend.
Ferris State had a perfect fall, not
losing a singles or doubles match in
eight dual matches. NCAA veterans
Diane Makonnen and Effie Mitrovich
are joined by freshman Tanya Soemarno, a native of Indonesia.
Georgetown and Pace are among
the other schools that could contend
for national prominence.

Golf Preview
Cowboy coach gets same results no matter who’s on the tee
By Michael V. Earle
The NCAA News Staff
The names and faces change from
year to year, but Oklahoma State
coach Mike Holder continues to get
the same results.
The Cowboys either have won or
finished second in 11 of the last 12
NCAA Men’s Golf Championships
during Holder’s 13-year stint as head
coach.
And despite the loss of 1986 individual titlist Scott Verplank, Holder
and his Cowboys again are contenders
for the team title that will be decided
during the 90th annual championships
next June at Ohio State.
Oklahoma State emerged from the
fall season ranked No. 1 in most polls
mainly because of their performance
in late November at the Golf WorldPalmetto Dunes Collegiate. Against
most of the top teams in the nation,
the Cowboys concluded play at 11
under par and had a comfortable
ninestroke lead over runner-up Southem California. In the final round,
Michael Bradley fired a toumamentlow 67 to win medalist honors with a
nine-under-par 207.
Bradley and the Cowboys also
made a clean sweep at the Buckeye
Intercollegiate. Bradley, who finished
the fall season with a team-low 70.8
per-round stroke average, won individual honors, while the Cowboys
outdistanced the field by 21 strokes to
win the team title.
Depth-a
trademark of Holder’s
teams-again
is Oklahoma State’s
biggest asset. All-America and defending Big Eight Conference champion Brian Watts finished the fall
season with a 73.1 stroke average and
is a contender for a top-20 championships finish.
Lettermen Tim Fleming (7 1.8), E.J.
PIister (73-l), Kevin Whipple (75.5)
and John O’Neill (76.3) round out
Holder’s talented lineup.
Other contenders
Steve Lamontagne
Bill Mayfair
Although Oklahoma State is highly
regarded, the Cowboys do not have a
lock on the championships team title.
Defending champion Wake Forest
lost four lettermen from last year’s
team, which overcame a 16-stroke
deficit in the final round to win the
title. However, coach Jesse Haddock
has cornerstones to build his team on
with the return of Len Mattiace, who
tied for 14th at last year’s championships, and freshman standout Eoghan
O’Connell.
A number of other teams have
promising regular-season outlooks
and the potential to vie for the championships team title. Top contenders

Competition is gaining on Florida Southern
Charley Matlock would be wise to
borrow a maxim of the late Satchel1
Paige, one of professional baseball’s
more colorful players.
The 23-year head coach of Florida
Southern had better not look back;
teams could be gaining on him.
The Moccasins have dominated
the NCAA Division 11 Men’s Golf
Championships since 1979, winning
four team titles and placing second
three times.
However, the loss of 1986 individual
champion Lee Janzen and two other
members of last year’s championship
team has left Matlock with some big
holes in his lineup and could jeopardize his chances to keep Florida Southern atop the division.
The Moccasins will rely on championships veterans Scott Hawkins
(74.9) and Mike Mantucci (78.8) to
carry the team while Matlock searches
for the combination that could make
Florida Southern the first squad to
win three straight Division II team
titles. Senior Ralph Howe, who had a
75.0 stroke average last season, probably will fill Matlock’s No. 3 spot in
the lineup.
Other contenders
The team that may have made up
the most ground on Florida Southern
is Cal State Northridge, which trails
the Moccasins by one in all-time team
championships and individual championships.
Cal State Northridge, a top team in
the late 1960s and mid-1970s, apparently has returned to its glory-day
Division
II
form, if last year’s championships
showing is any indication.
The Matadors, who failed to qualify as a team for the 1984 and 1985
championships, placed third in last
year’s event and have the majority of
team members back for another run
at Florida Southern.
Tim Hogarth and Pat Boyd, who
tied for 13th and 16th, respectively, at
last year’s championships, lead a talented group that shapes up to be one
of the better Division II teams on the
West Coast and contend for the championships team title.
Other teams (with leading returnees’latest per-round stroke average
in parentheses) with promising outlooks include:
Tampa-Jeff Leonard (75.8), Ernie
Alonso (76.0) and Scott Johnson
(77.1).
Ferris State-Greg

Cal State Stanislaus foes
not lkelv to best Warriors
J
Maybe Cal State Stanislaus should
let its opponents have mulhgans off
every tee.
The Warriors have been almost
invincible under coach Jim Hanny,
who has led Cal State Stanislaus to
nine NCAA Division 111Men’s Golf
Championships team titles since the
Division
III
tournament started 12 years ago and
a 2094 record against division opponents. Four Warrior linksmen have
won individual titles during Cal State
Stanislaus’ winning spree.
The chances of disrupting Cal State
Stanislaus’ winning tradition are slim.
Hanny returns eight lettermen, five of
whom contributed to either the 1985
or 1986 drives to the championships
team title.
Front-runners for Hanny’s top live
lineup spots and probable contenders
for national titlist honors include
1986 championships participants Pat
Lay, Glenn Andrade and Troy Willii
ams and 1985 returnees Doug Potter
and Tom Clark Jr.
As usual, Hanny has arranged a
tough regular-season schedule designed to get his team tuned up for
next May’s championships, where the
Warriors once again will be the team
to beat.
Other contenders
Teams (with leading returnees’ latest per-round stroke averages in parentheses) that have bright outlooks
and could challenge Cal State Stanislaus for the Division III team title

More rave reviews are expected for Florida’s leading ladies’
One of the stars is missing from last
year’s live-woman cast, but the third
season of “Florida Vise” could get
ratings as high as the program’s past
two campaigns.
Under the direction of coach Mimi
Ryan, the 1985 and 1986 NCAA
Women’s Golf Championships served
as stages on which her Lady Gators
could shine. Florida became the first
team to win two straight titles after
last year’s eight-stroke victory over
runner-up Miami (Florida).
With defending NCAA champion
Page Dunlap and three all-America
teammates returning, another episode
of “Florida Vise” could take place
next June.
Dunlap, a senior with a 75.7 perround stroke average, posted seven
top-10 ftishes last year, including a
first-place finish in the prestigious
Lady Gator Invitational, where she
fired a season-low 217. She carded a
season-low second round 70 en route
to last year’s NCAA individual title.
Junior Karen Davies also enters
the season as a top contender for the
NCAA individual title. The Newbury,
England, junior returns with a teambest 74.3 per-round stroke average
and was ranked second in the nation
going into last year’s championships.
Davies, who ended last year’s regular
season with first-place finishes in the
Florida State Collegiate, Lady Sun
Devil and Southeastern Conference
Championships, posted nine top-10
finishes, including a seventh-place
showing at the championships.
Up-andcoming Lisa Nedoba also
figures to be near the top of the leader
board. Nedoba, who tied for 12th at
the championships and posted seven
top-10 finishes in 12 outings, was
named Southeastern Conference freshman of the year for her efforts. She
returns with the team’s second lowest
per-round average at 75.5 strokes.
Cheryl Morley rounds out Florida’s
talented group of veterans with a 76.1
per-round stroke average. Morley
also had an impressive freshman year,
posting six top-10 finishes in 12 tournaments and finishing in a tie for 27th
at the championships.
With so much talent returning and
the addition of some promising newcomers, Ryan again should lead Florida to an outstanding season. Entering
her 17th season at the school, her
teams never have finished lower than
eighth in the nation and have finished
no lower than fifth in the five-year
history of the NCAA championships.

Marriage, motherhood can’t keep Detroit player off the
By Dave Battagello
Mary Kay McNall did not start
playing basketball until her sophomore year at Livonia (Michigan)
Franklin High. Once she did, it didn’t
take her long to become one of the
game’s better players.
In her senior year, she averaged
19.7 points and 13.4 rebounds, and
she accepted a scholarship to Michigan State.
She couldn’t have imagined that
her life was going to become what it is
today.
Mary Kay McNall is now Mrs.
Chris Whalen, married and the
mother of a son, Erik, who will be
two years old in February. She is no
longer at Michigan State but is still in
college and playing basketball -at
the University of Detroit.
Whalen is a fifth-year senior for the
Lady Titans. She played two seasons
at MSU before deciding upon marriage and taking a year off. She and
Chris decided to live in Livonia, so
Whalen was in search of another
college.
“At first, I decided to just finish
school,” she said. “U of D had what 1
wanted academically. I hadn’t decided
whether 1 was going to play.”
It didn’t take Whalen long to make
a choice. “My best friend worked for
the athletics department, so 1 was
always around there. 1 think inside I
always wanted to play, so later in life
I’d feel that I didn’t quit in the middle
of something and regret it.”
At MSU, Whalen, 6-feet-3, had a
strong sophomore season, starting all
25 games and averaging 13.4 points
and 7.8 rebounds as the Spartans’
center. As the pivot player, Whalen
was an important part of coach Karen
Langeland’s program. Her decision
to leave was not an easy one to make.
“1 chose State because 1 knew the
coaches there,” said Whalen, who
also considered Washington and
Louisville. “I knew most of the players. 1 thought it was a good program.

Clemson- Tied for the final spot

three players in the top 30. Sophomore Cathy Hofer (No. 7) leads the
Tigers, who last spring won a sixth
straight title in the Atlantic Coast
Conference. Also on hand arc Ingelise
Driehaus (No. 13) and Nicole Stafford
(No. 27), who team for the ITCA’s
lOth-ranked doubles team.

she said. “It gets pretty tough.”
Things probably would be a lot
more difficult for Whalen if she didn’t
have the support of those close to her.
“My dad has got to be my No. 1
fan,” Whalen said. “He calls me all the
time. Every day, he wants to find out
what happened at practice and how
I’m doing.”
Jones also has played a key role.
“He really has been supportive.
He’s been real understanding about
my situation. 1 love the way he
coaches. Everyone is having a real fun
time.”
Although Whalen’s basketball playing days at U-D soon will be over, she
will continue to attend classes to
graduate in May 1988 in the college of
business. Beyond that, she is unsure
of her plans but hopes for a career
and a continuing involvement with
basketball, perhaps as a coach.
“Looking at it all right now, I don’t
think I could be any happier,” she
said.

“It was a hard d&sion. It’s weird
because I still see them all (former
teammates and coaches) a lot.”
Since that time, Lady Titans coach
Dewayne Jones has reaped the benefits of Whalen’s move. After bouncing
back from her one year lay-off,
Whalen has started every game for UD, last season averaging 10.4 points
and 9.3 rebounds.
Through 16 games this season,
Whalen is averaging 13.1 points per
game. She leads the team in rebounding (8.1 average) and blocked shots
(just over two per game). Her stats
include a subpar performance (eight
points, five rebounds) against MSU
early in the season. Before that game,
Whalen admitted to feeling “kind of
nervous” about facing her former
school.
Off the court, Whalen not only has
to deal with the academic pressure of
a full course load, but also has the
responsibility of motherhood.

Larger complex sought
for Colorado athletics
The University of Colorado athletics department has drawn up a $34
million “wish list” for a 13,~seat
Folsom Field expansion, an 18-hole
golf course, a parking complex and a
sports training facility.
Associate athletics director Jon
Burianek emphasized that the ideas
are part of a long-range planning
project and that most of them are two
or three decades down the road.
“Consultants met with the staff and
Scholarship
fund to aid
black schools
A scholarship fund to assist 35
historically black colleges and universities was announced January 29 by
the National Basketball Association
and Miller Lite beer.
The two organizations made an
initial S50,OOOdonation and agreed to
jointly provide $1 million to the fund,
said Miller spokesman Brad Williams.
The fund will be known as the
Thurgood
Marshall
Scholarship
Fund, named after the first black
Supreme Court justice.
There was no timetable for conttibutions, Williams said.
“We have made a long-term commitment to this fund, with no end of
our support in sight,” he said. He
emphasized that the money would be
used to provide academic-not
athletics-scholarships
for black students who want to attend any of the
35 schools.
Other money will be used to prepare television and radio ads publicizing the fund and the Office for the
Advancement of Black Public Colleges, which will help in managing the
scholarship fund.
The initial check was presented to
N. Joyce Payne, president of the
college organization, by former NBA
stars Bob Lanier and Sam Jones and
by Adrian DeGroot, president of
NBA Properties, Inc.
Conference
on disabled
scheduled
The U.S. Olympic Committee’s
Committee on Sports for the Disabled
will hold a conference on sports medicine and sports science for disabled
athletes March 26-28 in the Mt. Washington Valley resort area, New Hampshire.
The conference, which is to be held
adjacent to the National Handicapped
Sport and Recreation Association’s
national championships, is intended
to educate those who work with disabled persons about recreational and
competitive sports opportunities for
disabled persons and to provide information about significant sportsmedicine and science practices and
concepts and their application to athletes with a wide range of disabilities.
The program will include lectures,
audiovisual presentations and panel
discussions and will include a number
of noted athletes and experts on sports
for the disabled. A call for papers has
been issued for relevant research.
Duane Messner, M.D., of Lakewood, Colorado, is program chair,
and Jack Benedick, competition dim
rector for the National Handicapped
Sport and Recreation Association, is
serving as program cochair. For further information, contact Mary Margaret Newsom at the U.S. Olympic
Committee, Department of Education
Services, 1750 East Boulder Street,
Colorado Springs, Colorado 809095160 (303/ 5784546).
each coach, and we were told to write
down anything you still need,” Burianek said. *It’s just a concept. We don’t
have a plan of how to finance it. We
are still trying to pay each year as it
comes.
“But North Carolina recently built
a $3 1 million facility and raised something like S35 million.”
Howard Needles Tammen and Bergendorf, a sports facilities design firm
that also designed the Meadowlands
in New Jersey and Roy& Stadium in
Kansas City, was hired by Colorado
at a cost of $9,500 to devise a plan.
The proposed stadium expansion
would push capacity to 64,000, moving Colorado past Missouri for the
third-largest football facility in the
Big Eight Conference. Burianek said
the proposal would enclose the north
end of the stadium to complete a
bowl.
As for the golf course, there is no
land available.
“It’s probably 20 to 30 years away
unless some rich guy with a ton of
money owns some land and can give it
to the university as a tax write-off
with the idea of building a golf course,”
he said.
Such a course might be limited to
university interests, or it could generate income as a public course.
Also, a multilevel parking facility,
either behind the stadium or near the
events center, could be a moneymaker for use other than athletics
events.
“If you don’t have an idea, things
can’t be done,” Burianek told the
Associated Press. “Everything is being
based on today’s dollars, as the university makes plans for space needs
for academic and athletics housing
and research projects. It’s like a road
map of where we’d like to be in the
year 2006.”
Strength,
conditioning
sessions set
More than 500 strength coaches,
exercise physiologists, athletics trainers, sports scientists and sports-medicine physicians are planning to meet
June 26-28 for the ninth annual National Strength and Conditioning Association national convention in Las
Vegas.
Convention headquarters will be
the Tropicana Hotel. All seminars
will be conducted at the hotel, and the
120-booth convention trade show will
be housed in the Tropicana’s pavilion.
Sessions will be presented by top
coaches and sports researchers. Two
distinct study tracks run concurrently,
offering a choice of learning experience. A comprehensive examination
is available for those persons who
want to obtain college credit for the
convention. One credit hour is available through Creighton University.
Preceding the convention May 2425 is the preconvention tutorial session
for persons seeking certification as a
strength and conditioning specialist.
The certification examination is May
25, also at the Tropicana.
The National Strength and Conditioning Association is a nonprofit,
educational association established in
1978. The NSCA helps coaches and
athletes share the latest information
and methods for improving athletics
performance through strength training and total conditioning.

Ron Johnron (left),presi&nt of I&ho State’s Bengal Boosters organization, and Bengal athletics director Tom
Jewel1 display an oversized check representing the $60,000 guarantee to the NCAA that is part of a proposed
budget for the 1987 Division I-AA Football Championship.
Pocatello bids for I-AA title game
Apparently, when the folks in southeastern Idaho decide they want something, they go after it in a big way.
Take the Division I-AA Football
Championship, for example.
When local radio station manager
Jim Fox suggested that Idaho State
University’s Minidome be proposed
as the site for the 1987 championship,
the university’s athletics administration, the Bengal Foundation booster
organization and the entire region’s
population fell in love with the idea.
In less than two weeks-and without
corporate sponsorship-more
than
10,000 tickets were sold.
“All the tickets were sold two at a
time,” said Tom Jewell, Idaho State
athletics director, who made a formal
bid for the contest in a January 30
presentation at the NCAA national
office. Jewel1 was joined by Ron Johnson, president of the Bengal Foundation. “We asked the people of
Pocatello and southeastern Idaho if
they were interested in bringing an
NCAA championship to the area,
and their response was overwhelming,”
Jewel1 said.
A six-member committee. when
finished with preliminary planning,
announced its intention to bid for
the championship January 16. When
Jewel1 and Johnson arrived at the
national office, they brought with
them a letter certifying that funds
already had been received for the
purchase of more than 10,000 tickets.
“We thought sales would peak after
about a week, but they just kept
going,” Johnson explained. At a
chamber of commerce meeting January 20, the planning group asked for
volunteers to man a ticket-sales desk
Beloit to dedicate
new sports center
Wisconsin Governor Tommy G.
Thompson is scheduled to be among
the speakers for the formal dedication
of Beloit College’s new $6 million
Sports Center February 6.
The dedication ceremony also will
feature individuals who made major
contributions to the construction of
the building and many of tht great
athletes who share in the college’s
athletics heritage.
The Sports Center will serve as the
home of the college’s intercollegiate,
club and intramural teams and as a
facility for physical-education instruction and the general physical-fitness
needs of Beloit’s students, faculty and
administration.
at the chamber office. By the end of
that week, branch outlets had to be
set up to handle the tremendous demand for tickets.
“Some of the stories are just unbelieveable,” Jewel1 said. “We had a 90year-old lady who is sightless send a
friend in to buy a ticket for her. My
wife was working when a young fellow
came in and asked if he could get a
($10) ticket for his dad on time.. . he
wanted to pay us $2 a week from his
paper-route earnings. It seems his
dad was out of work and needed SW,
and this young man wanted him to
have a ticket for the game. One of the
workers at the desk wrote a check and
bought the ticket.. . plus one for the
kid.
“I could go on and on,” Jewel1 said,
“But the point is, we were very gratilied at the overwhelming support the
idea received.”
“We ran ink a guy at the Salt Lake
City airport from the area,” Johnson
said,“and he knew we were coming to
the NCAA office. All he said was,
‘Don’t come home without that bid.’
All the radio stations and media outlets in the area got behind this
thing.... I believe it really brought
the community together.”
Jerry A. Miles, NCAA director of
men’s championships, said the Division I-AA FootbalI Committee has
scheduled a February 9 telephone
conference to review proposed
budgets and possibly take action on
recommending a site for the chatnpionship.
“We’re real excited about bringing
the game to Idaho State,” Jewel1 said.
“We believe the response our effort
generated is evidence of the region’s
commitment to staging a firstclass
event.”
To play it takes $17,000
for tuition, top IQ and talent
By Mario Fox
To play on John Angelus’ basketball team, you must have the brains to
get into the University of Chicago and
the wherewithal to pay $17,000 a year
in tuition to stay there.
“We get brainy kids, but lately
we’ve been getting good basketball
players, too,” Angelus, whose Maroons enjoy a 12-2 record this season,
told the Associated Press.
Angelus admitted that he’s at a
recruiting disadvantage and has to
send out 5,000 letters a year to attract
high school athlete-scholars.
“The advantage is that the type of
man you get is first-rate,” he said.
“They play hard and they use their
brains to make up for any lack of
talent.” Chicago is ranked No. 19 in
the latest Division Ill poll.
Angelus’ record is “about 120-108”
in his I Ith season as head basketball
coach of the team.
“The lirst day of practice, I always
tell them I’m their doctor or Ph.D. of
basketball,” Angelus said. “I don’t try
to keep up with them intellectually.
They’d blow me away.”
One of his recent players was a
Rhodes scholar. One year, he had five
medical students on the team.
“One of the guys recently operated
on my ear, and when he was about to
operate, he said, ‘Coach, I was never
satisfied with the playing time you
gave me.’I told him, ‘Get outa here,“’
Angelus said.
This year, the Maroons feature
four gifted seniors who each have
been averaging 12 to 16 points a
game -forward Tom Redburg, guard
Mike Clifford, and the double-post
pair of 6-6 Dave Witt and 6-5 Tom
LePP.
“Redburg really is the key. He’s
back after sitting out a year. He had
to go find the money for the $17,000
tuition. Like the others, he came here
for the academic programs. He’s a
fine math student,” said Angelus.
Chicago is 74 atop the Midwest
Collegiate Athletic Conference, playing the likes of Knox, Illinois College,
Coe and Beloit.
But the Maroons have played Division 1 schools, including Duke several
years ago.
“We lost by 20 points, but Duke
beat Villanova by 30 points that same
year,” said Angelus.
In past seasons, the Maroons also
have played Northwestern, Northern
Illinois. Tulane and L,oyola of Chicago.
Next year, Chicago will play in the
new University Athletic Association
that also has New York University,
Washington (Missouri), Emory and
Carnegie-Mellon.
“Well be playing teams from research-level universities like ourselves,” Angelus said. “It’s tough
playing kids who don’t have science
lab twice a week.”

Bailey again indicated the special

for possible deregulation
from

Convention exhibit, and we received
only three items,” he noted. “And
unfortunately, none of those really
dealt with the issue of deregulation.”
‘One of the questions I was asked
most often concerned how much
smaller the revised Manual was going
to be,” Andrus said. “1 pointed out
that, in undertaking a project of this
size and complexity, it was impossible
to speculate on the size of the finished

THE NCAA NEWS/February
+I987
Florida planning to raise graduation rate of state’s athletes
A plan to boost the graduation rate
of student-athletes at Florida’s nine
public universities has been announced following a study showing
an alarmingly low graduation rate
among male athletes.
The plan was included in a 65page
report issued by Dr. Charles B. Reed,
chancellor of the state university systern, the Associated Press reported.
Antispearing rule in football
has cut iniuries sinnificantlv
v
J
Some football players who used
their bodies as “spears,” tackling opponents helmet-first and ramrod
straight, occasionally suffered catastrophic and sometimes fatal injuries,
says a leading sports physician.
“Implementation of rule changes
and coaching techniques eliminating
the use of the head as a battering ram
has resulted in a drop from 34 cases of
permanent paralysis in the legs and
arms in 1976 to five in 1984,”Joseph
Torg, M.D., told the American
Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons
recently.
Torg advised that similar rule
changes in ‘diving, rugby, ice hockey
and gymnastics”could possibly reduce
the incidence of cervical spine injuries
in those sports.
A team led by Torg, University of
Pennsylvania Sports Medical Center
physician, documented statistics that
six defensive backs suffered severe
upper-spine fractures and quadriplegia after using the battering-ram tackle
in unspecified games in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.
Torg said in a paper that in addition
to studying how injuries occurred
between 1971 and 1975, the group
tallied the number of deaths, types of
injuries and quadriplegia cases due to
head injuries.
Torg said 58 players died and 99
became quadriplegics in the period
studied. He said some 52 percent of
the quadriplegics had used their helmets to “spear” their opponents.
“These statistics are in marked
contrast to statistics from 1959 to
1963 when more players died-65but fewer-30-became
quadriplegic while playing football,” he said.
IBy the 197Os,players were wearing
helmet-mask units that provided better head and face protection. At that
time, players began to use the ‘headfirst’ battering techniques to block
and tackle the other team.”
In 1975, quadriplegia occurred in
2.2 per 100,000 of high school players
and 8.4 per 100,000 of college players,
he said, noting that by 1977, the
second year of the antispearing rule,
the quadriplegia rate dropped to 1.3
per 100,000 and 2.7 per 100,000 of
high school and college players, respectively.

Trials scheduled
for U.S.women’s
basketball teams
Trials for the women’s basketball
teams representing the United States
in the Pan American Games and
World University Games will be held
April 23-26 at the Olympic Training
Center in Colorado Springs.
Tbe Amateur Basketball Association of the United States said that the
trials are open to anyone, although
participants in the World University
Games must be enrolled as college
undergraduate or graduate students.
The Pan Am Games will be held in
Indianapolis August 7-23, while the
World University Games will be in
Zagreb, Yugoslavia, July 8-19.
The U.S. Olympic Festival trials
will be held May I-3 at four sites. The
North tryouts will be at the University
of Illinois, Champaign. Texas Christian University wilI host the South
tryouts. The West trials will be at
Chapman College, while the East
team wiIl be selected at Old Dominion
University.
The festival is scheduled July 17-26
in the Raleigh-Durham area of North
Carolina.
J
analyzed film clips of spearing injuries
and learned how they happened, Torg
told the Associated Press.
He explained that in a spear tackle,
the top of the helmet collides with
another player, transmitting forces
straight through the compressed
upper spine, damaging bones, discs
and ligaments.
“When the cervical spine is in a
normal tackling position, in which
the shoulder absorbs most of the
force of the impact, the loads on the
spine are generally not great enough
to cause injuries to it,” said the doctor.
I
The report also suggested that a
few of the state’s NCAA Division I
schools, including South Florida in
Tampa, might be better off financially
by playing a limited number of common sports in a proposed Florida
conference of NCAA Division II universities. USF, whose athletics program fell into the red a year ago,
currently is a member of the Division
I Sun Belt Conference.
Others universities suggested for
the conference were Florida Atlantic,
North Florida, West Florida, Central
Florida, Florida International and
Florida A&M. Central and FAMU
also are Division I schools.
The findings of a year-long study
showed that 47 percent of nonathletes
graduated compared tojust 38 percent
of male athletes.
On the other hand, 64 percent of
female athletes graduated within six
years of enrollment compared to the
female average of 35 percent.
The study found that just 27 percent
of student-athletes on basketball schol-
arships at the state’s five Division I
schools had graduated within six years
of their enrollment, while only 35
percent of the football scholarship
players at Florida, Florida State and
Florida A&M graduated.
Florida State graduated 50 percent
of its student-athletes who entered
school in 1978 on basketball scholarships but just 29 percent of its football
scholarship students.
The greatest disparity from the
school average was at the University
of Florida, where 55 percent of male
nonathletes had graduated compared
to just 40 percent of its male athletes.
The study focused on students who
enrolled in the state’s schools in the
summer or fall of 1978. It was compiled by 11 out-of-state consultants
who reviewed university self-study
reports and conducted interviews on
the campuses of the nine schools.
The resulting report issued by Reed
made several recommendations to
boost graduation rates as part of a
plan to bring uniformity into athletics
programs across the state.
Tbe recommendations include:
l Providing scholarship aid for Division 1 athletes who already have
finished their eligibility.
@Not applying admissions standards for student-athletes that are different from those used for nonathletes.
l Putting
academic advising and
tutoring under supervision of an appropriate academic or student-affairs
unit rather than the intercollegiate
athletics program.
*Channeling all financial and inkind support for intercollegiate athletics programs through an officially
certified direct-support organization.
l Requiting all state institutions to
conduct an annual audit and provide
copies of annual financial statements
to the board of regents each year.
“We can have strong, competitive
intercollegiate athletics programs and
strong student-athletes who succeed
in the classroom as well as on the
playing field,” said Reed.
