College football's TV plans now in chaos
CHICAGO (AP) - Can the NCAA offer a voluntary national television plan to fill the vacuum created by Wednesday’s U S. Supreme Court decision? Yes, say NCAA lawyers. Maybe, say lawyers for Oklahoma, fresh from winning their three-year legal struggle against the NCAA’s centralized control of football television rights. That uncertainty and a host of others hung in the air today as officials from the nation’s top football-playing schools set about trying to agree on a workable television plan for this fall. More than 200 delegates to the Division I-A legislative meetings spent most of the

As things stand now, every school or conference is free to make any television deal with any telecasting company it wishes. Every big-time football power wants to avert this chaotic situation.

Phillies playing like lastplace team; Cubs top L. A.
By JONATHAN VITTI Associated Press Writer The Philadelphia Phillies, defending National League champions and co-leaders of the NL East, have not been nearly good enough lately for their manager, Paul Owens. After the Houston Astros scored six runs in the last two innings for a 7-6 victory over the Phillies, Owens ripped into his team. “They’re in first place and act like they don’t want to be there,” Owens said. “Have a team buried and give it right back to them. They can’t even catch the ball and throw it.” Owens added, “If they don’t want to play I’ll find someone who does.” Houston outfielder Kevin Bass slugged a two-run double in the ninth off ace reliever A 1 Holland to bring the Astros victory. Holland, in turn, ripped into Bass. “I shouldn’t let a guy hitting .230 beat me,” said Holland. In other NL games, Atlanta defeated New York 5-3, San Francisco went 11 innings in downing Pittsburgh 4-3, San Diego outscored St. Louis 7-3 and Chicago topped Los Angeles 5-3. Bass hit a long foul off a Holland fastball before his game-winner. He said he was out in front of the fastball and “decided to stay back and wait for the pitch to come to me. ” “It was a curveball and I got it good,” said Bass. “I got beat with my secondbest pitch and you shouldn’t get beat with your second-best pitch.” rued Holland, 4-4. “It was a
Stars seeking revenge
By The Associated Press The Philadelphia Stars, owners of the best record in the United States Football League regular season, open the playoffs this weekend against the only team that beat them this year. The Stars, 16-2 and the Atlantic Division champions, play host Saturday to the New Jersey Generals, 14-4, the wildcard entry from the Atlantic. New Jersey handed the Stars both of their losses this season sey and 16-10 last Sunday in Philadelphia. Last week’s game was a “legitimate preview of the playoffs,” said Generals quarterback Brian Sipe. “Philadelphia showed us
now on top of us. We have to get serious and be honest with each other. We better be in line when we walk out of here.” . The two-day meeting was to have dealt with legislation for the next NCAA convention. But television became the only viable issue when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Wed-

good pitch, down.” Owens said the loss “wasn’t all the pitchers’ fault, but they weren’t any gems either.” Houston scored four runs in the eighth off Bill Campbell, who inherited a 6-1 lead from Philadelphia starter Jerry Koosman. Terry Puhl’s basesloaded single and right fielder Sixto Lezcano’s error on the play scored three runs. Holland relieved Campbell and allowed Puhl to score on Jerry Mumphrey’s pinchsingle. Reliever Bill Dawley, 5-4, Houston’s fourth pitcher, was the winner. Juan Samuel gave Philadelphia a 1-0 lead in the first inning against Houston starter Vern Ruhle when he scored on an error by Houston shortstop Bill Doran. The Astros tied the score in the fourth when Puhl was hit by a Koosman pitch with the bases loaded. The Phillies regained the lead in the fourth on Samuel’s sixth home run of the season. They boosted it to 3-1 in the fifth on a double by Mike Schmidt and Tim Corcoran’s RBI single. Kiko Garcia was running for Schmidt, who reinjured a leg muscle pull on his double. Philadelphia added three runs in the sixth. Jeff Stone singled in Ivan Dejesus, and Von Hayes singled in Samuel and Stone.

everything they had and we showed them everything we had,” Sipe said. “We have to play well, there is no question about that. But this is a team that has played well when it’s had to all season long.” The other Eastern Division playoff game will be Sunday when Tampa Bay visits Birmingham. In Western Division playoff games, defending champion Michigan is at Los Angeles on Saturday and Arizona plays in Houston on Sunday. The Western title game will be July 7, the Eastern title game is July 8 and the USFL championship game will be July 15 in Tampa.

the bottom of the 11th inning. Pittsburgh tied the score in the top of the ninth on a two-out single by pinch hitter Johnny Ray that drove in Bill Madlock, who had started the inning with a single and taken second on a fly. Nicosia, who hit only one home run in five years at Pittsburgh before coming to the Giants last year, put San Francisco ahead 2-1 in the sixth when he smacked his second homer of the season. “I’m starting to make the most of every opportunity I get,” said Nicosia, a back-up catcher with a .348 batting average. “Mentally, this is the sharpest I’ve been in a long time.” Padres 7, Cardinals 3 Steve Garvey smacked three hits and scored three runs and Alan Wiggins added three hits to a 15-hit San Diego attack. Garvey, who now has a 10-game hitting streak over which he is hitting .432, thinks his stroke is back. “It took a little longer than I thought it would to get my timing back because of the layoff,” said Garvey, who sat out the final two months of 1983 with a broken thumb. “I’ve never had a layoff that long but my timing is finally coming back.” Padres Manager Dick Williams said his recent decision to move Garvey from the cleanup position to the number three spot in the order has also helped. “It got Garvey going like a house of fire,” Williams said.

1-3 innings before needing relief help from Luis DeLeon and Goose Gossage to nail down the victory, the fifth for the home club in six games. Lonnie Smith accounted for all the Cardinals’ runs with a solo homer in the first inning and a two-run double in the seventh off DeLeon. Braves 5, Mets 3 Craig McMurtry rapped three hits, including an RBI triple, and scored once while raising his record to 6-8. McMurtry said he was glad to get his confidence going after losing his last two decisions. “Anytime a pitcher has trouble and I have been for the last month or so your confidence gets a little down,” McMurtry said. “But I got the win. I threw decent. Maybe I’m through it now.” Alex Trevino hit his first home run of the season to snap a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning and help hand his former teammates their third straight loss. Cubs 5, Dodgers 3 At Dodger Stadium, an error by first baseman Mike Marshall led to two unearned Chicago runs and enabled the Cubs to break a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning and post their third straight victory. Ryne Sandberg led off the Cubs’ sixth with his 11th home run Two outs later, with the bases loaded and the score tied. Chicago starter Steve Trout, 83, grounded to shortstop Dave Anderson. Anderson thgew to first, but Marshall, attempting a sweeping tag of Trout, lost the ball and two runs scored.

Players and clubs receive Kuhn's laws NEW YORK (AP) A senes of guidelines concerning involvement with drugs has been established by Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, and players guilty of drug-related crimes could face a minimum suspension of one year and possible barring for life. Kuhn’s rules were released Thursday in a letter sent to major league clubs and the players. The penalties would be imposed on those who are convicted of or plead guilty to a crime related to the distribution, possession or use of a controlled substance and players who help others use such drugs. The guidelines will be used, the commissioner’s office said, to cover areas not specifically mentioned in the new drug abuse program written by a committee of owners and players’ representatives and ratified by both sides. Kuhn, a driving force in the working of that program, called for its support from both sides. “While the new drug program significantly broadens the situations in which players will be entitled to amnesty, it is vital ... that serious categories of drug cases, which the program is not designed to cover, be subject to serious disciplinary penalties,” Kuhn said in the letter. He added that procedures established in the program and the specific rules for drug enforcement will “considerably strengthen our ability to effectively deal with drug use problems.” Donald Fehr, the acting executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, said the rules an nounced by Kuhn are still subject to the “just cause” aspect of the basic agreement. “The authority of any baseball management official.to discipline is subject to the just cause principle of the basic agreement,” he said. In addition to the rules covering players guilty of drugrelated crimes, the regulations state that any player found in possession of any controlled substance on the playing field or the premises of a stadium will be suspended without pay for one year.
