Corbin says Kush fired improperly

PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona attorney general probably will issue an opinion that Arizona State University’s removal of head football Coach Frank Kush did not comply with Board of Regent rules, the Arizona Republic said today in a story quoting informed sources. Attorney General Bob Corbin, asked for comment, said research is proceeding and a conclusion isn’t due until later in the week. ’‘The research process is still under way,” Corbin said. "What was seen was a preliminary study, which may or may not reflect the final opinion.” The phoenix newspaper said its story was based on a preliminary opinion that could be changed by Corbin or his staff before it is issued. Rep. Burton Barr, R-Phoenix, the House majority leader, had sought the opinion after Kush’s removal by Athletic Director Fred Miller on Oct. 13. Miller said Kush was ousted for an at-

tempted cover-up of an incident in which the coach allegedly struck Kevin Rutledge, a former ASU punter who is suing the school and Kush for sl.l million. Kush denied striking Ruledge or attempting a cover-up. Barr said he felt the regents’ rules provide that any complaint damaging to a university faculty member must be resolved by filing charges with a university trial board. If the rules apply to Kush, the university will have to bring new proceedures if it wants the coach out, Barr said, adding: "They’re back to ground zero.” The university did not give Kush a hearing on the charges it made against him. Bob Owens, an assistant coach under Kush, has been handling the team since Kush’s removal. In a related development, the Pacific-10 Council scheduled a hearing for Thursday on the eligibility of eight Arizona State University football players.

“It’s possible that the charges may be resolved and penalties, if any, handed out on Thursday,” said Jim Muldoon, Pac--10 public relations director. "Or it may carry over until Friday.” Robert Knox, Arizona State faculty representative for athletics, requested the Pac-10 ruling on eligibiliy. An internal investigation revealed credits transferred from other schools that may not be acceptable a Arizon State, he said. Arizona State is in the running for the Pac-10 championship and a Rose Bowl bid with a 3-1 conference record. If the Sun gdevil players are found ineligible, the conference victories may have to be forfeited. The Sun Devils will be informed of any penalty before they play their next conference game Saturday at Stanford, Muldoon said. Tim Mara obtained the New York Giant National Football league franchise for SSOO in 1925.

Martin won SSOO bet, but lost his job

NEW YORK (AP) Joseph Cooper, a 52-year-old marshmallow salesman from Illinois, had kept quiet for a week. He said he didn’t want the man, whom he later accused of suckerpunching him, to lose his job. The man was Billy Martin, twice but no longer the manager of the New York Yankees. Cooper’s reason for remaining silent ended Sunday when Yankees owner George Steinbrenner fired Martin. And Cooper finally broke his silence Tuesday night in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from his home in Lincolnshire, 111. “The reason I stayed silent so long was I didn’t want Martin to lose his job,” Cooper said. “But I couldn’t stand all the lies that went around. “I feel very badly about it,” Cooper said. “It’s something that happens in life that you don’t like to see happen. ’ ’ Cooper, a family man with two sons and a productive sales job, described the scenario leading to “The Punch” late Oct. 23. It was a punch that cost the 51-year-old Martin his job, and perhaps his career in baseball. “I was in Minneapolis on business, and I had dinner with a business associate at the L’Hotel de France,” in Bloomington, Minn., Cooper said. “After dinner, my business associate asked if I would like to have a nightcap, so we went into the bar.

Michigan may have violated rule to gain time Saturday

CHICAGO (AP) - Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke said Tuesday he is studying the possibility of a rule violation during Saturday’s Indiana Michigan game. The rule in question states, “A runner may hand or pass the ball backward at any time except to throw the ball intentionally out of bounds to conserve time.” The game was tied with six seconds to play when Michigan’s Lawrence Reid took a swing pass from John Wangler and then hurled it out of bounds, stopping the clock. On the next play, Wangler

“The only place open was a section of the bar between Billy Martin and Howard Wong (a longtime associate of Martin). Martin was there, but he had a cowboy hat on, and I didn’t really recognize him. But my business associate did recognize him. “He said, ‘Hi, Billy,’ and we talked to him about his job and what the future looked like, and so forth. Then I made a statement to Billy that I thought it was a good choice picking Dick Williams (of Montreal) as manager of the year, although I thought Earl Weaver (of Baltimore) did a good job too. “Billy said, ‘They are both —holes, and you’re an —hole too for saying it.’ “Then he asked me what I did for a living, and he asked my business associate too. bi told him I was in sales with marshmallows,” Cooper said. “They thought it was a big joke, as everybody does. Then he introduced us to Howard Wong and asked if we wanted to meet a millionaire. “Then Martin mentioned that he thought it was a bad choice that Williams was manager of the year, and he said he wanted to go outside and ‘whip your —.’ “People were always coming up and asking him for his autograph, and we forgot about it for a while. He finally came back to me, and he said, ‘Tell you what, Joe, here is SSOO to your penny I can knock you on your —lt was five SIOO bills. “I still didn’t say too much, but he was harassing me, but time

threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Carter giving Michigan a 27-21 victory. “The conference office is following the normal procedure involved with any official’s decision in question,” said Duke. “The crew chief has been contacted for the specifics of the play. The observer’s report is in the mail. “Films of the game are being sent to the office for review. Subsequent to the film review and study of th reports from the coaches, crew chief and observer, we will pursue the matter internally.”

WAYNE DUKE Caught Michigan

Dallenbach, NBC signed by CART DETROIT (AP) - Veteran race driver Wally Dallenbach has been placed in charge of 1980 races sanctioned by the Championship Auto Racing Teams. CART President Jim Melvin, who announced the appointment of Dallenbach as director of competition, also said Tuesday that his organization has signed an agreement with NBC for the telecast of four CART races in 1980 —one more than this year. He also said a three-year agreement has been struck with the Automotive Finishes Division of PPG Industries for sponsorship of CART races. Terms of the television and sponsorship pacts were not disclosed. Dallenbach, 42, retired from active racing at the end of CART’S 1979 season. He had been behind the wheel of Indytype cars since 1965, competing in 180 races. He won five and placed among the top 10 finishers 113 times and won more than $1 million in purses. He was ninth in the CART standings this year. Dallenbach was driver representative to CART’s board of directors in 1979. Melvin told a Detroit news conference Tuesday that Dallenbach will oversee CART’s 13-to 15-race 1980 season. The agreement with PPG Automotive represents an expansion from the 1979 season that included 11 races without a corporate sponsor, Melvin said. CART was established in December 1978 by a group of dissident drivers and car owners who split from the United States Auto Club. Leaders of CART claimed the USAC board did not fully represent drivers and owners. Most of the top Indy-car drivers have joined CART, including A 1 and Bobby Unser, reigning Indianapolis 500 winner Rick Mears and former 500 winners Johnny Rutherford and Gordon Johncock. The 500 itself, however, remains a USAC-sanctioned event.

comes when pride comes into focus. I put a penny on his SSOO and said, ‘Let’s go.’ “Between the bar and the lobby is probably about 30 feet, and there’s an archway in between. He was ahead of me, and I was behind. As we walked through the archway into the lobby, he abruptly turned and hit me in the mouth. “I assume all of his fights have been sucker punches.” Cooper wound up with about 15 stitches in his lip and something pretty important to think about, especially for a man from Lincolnshire, a man unused to the limelight that follows men like Martin. “It’s a sad affair,” he said, “and I just want it to disappear. I would have forgot about it, and I guess he would have too. But the thing that really upset me were the lies.” Cooper said that the two primary untruths that surfaced during the incident were that he cut his lip in a fall and that he swung at Martin, “which I never did. ” With the story all but dying out, Martin also chose Tuesday to release a three-part statement through his agent. Doug Newton. “One, I have read and heard a lot of things about myself in the past several days that are untrue which have hurt me very much,” the statement said.
