25 years later: IU learns from punishment, leads NCAA fight to catch cheaters
By STEVE HERMAN AP Sports Writer Next week marks 25 years since Indiana University was put on a four-year probation for recruiting violations in football, and Bill Mallory, the current Hoosier coach, applauds the latest moves by the NCAA to severely punish all cheaters in college sports. “I’m glad to see them coming down hard,” Mallory said of the proposals announced this week by an NCAA presidents’ commission. “There needs to be more severe penalities, and I think the presidents are the ones that have to lead the pack. They have to know what’s going on in their athletic programs.” Indiana President John Ryan is head of the NCAA presidents’ commission. The proposals, which would identify major and secondary violations and give the NCAA enforcement staff broad powers
Jazz refrain from ogling scoreboard HOUSTON (AP) - Utah Jazz Coach Frank Layden, holding a 17-point halftime lead over the favored Houston Rockets in the hostile Summit arena, advised his team to ignore the scoreboard. “I tried to tell them at the half that the score was nothing to nothing,” Layden said. “I thought at halftime that they were going to catch us.” Layden had the game charted accurately. The Rockets caught the Jazz at 71-71 with 2:30 to go in the third quarter, then the Jazz spurted back for a 115-101 victory Friday night in the first game of their National Basketball Association firstround playoff series. “I said the thing you have to do is to make sure that when they make their run at you, that you keep your poise and that you keep running your game plan,” Layden said. “My only advice was to try to make them use a lot of energy if they were going to catch us.” The second game of the best-of-five series will be played Sunday at The Summit. In Friday night’s only other best-of-five opener, Milwaukee beat Chicago 109-100. Milwaukee took a 1-0 lead in its firstround series with Chicago as Sidney Moncrief scored 30 points and Terry Cummings added 22 for the Bucks. The game was close most of the way, but five straight Milwaukee points opened its largest lead at 95-82 with 6:42 remaining. The Bulls closed the gap to 105-100 with 43 seconds left on a jump shot by Orlando Woolridge before the Bucks scored the last four points to salvage the victory. Michael Jordan scored 23 points to lead Chicago, but he had no field goals and just four points in the second half.

to punish violaters, will be voted on at a special NCAA convention June 20-21 in New Orleans. , The severest penalty, which could be imposed for two major violations within a five-year period, would prohibit intercollegiate competition in the sport involved for up to two seasons and prohibit the coaches in that sport from any coaching activity for two years. “I don’t think, though, that banning football or basketball or whatever sport for one or two years is the right answer,” said Mallory. “I just don’t believe in punishing 1 kids who are innocent victims. My personal feeling is that you punish the kids and the coaches involved and get rid of them. If they can’t run a clean ship, then get rid of the violators.” It was on April 27, 1960, that the NCAA imposed its four-year probation on Indiana, banning Hoosier teams in all sports

VINCE COLEMAN Four hits for Cards
Tiger Stadium like home-run heaven for Brett, K.C. bats
By The Associated Press Everyone in baseball knows that Tiger Stadium in Detroit is a good park for home run hitters. Unfortunately for the Tigers, it was the opposition that took advantage of the cozy dimensions Friday night. “You know, anytime you hit a ball to right field in this ballpark (where the fence is only 325 feet down the line), you expect something to happen,” Kansas City Manager Dick Howser said after watching his Royals slug five home runs including two by George Brett in a 9-2 victory over the Tigers. “I know on the second ball George hit, everybody on our bench stood up,” Howser added. “They expected it to go in and they wanted to see it.” Coming into the game, the Royals had hit only three homers all season and their five tied a club record set on two other oc-
Fall Creek, and Chris Conoley contributed 14 points and 15 rebounds. David Barber led Anderson with 16 points. William Ware contributed 20 points for Municipal Gardens and Tony Patterson added 16. Troy Johnson led Muncie with 26 points. Girls semifinal play in the tournament is scheduled for Saturday morning. Both championships are set for Saturday night.

from post-season and televised games and its athletes from all special events except the Olympics. Five of the six violations cited by the NCAA occurred in 1958, while Indiana was already on a one-year probation for similar offenses. The penalty was believed at that time to be the most severe ever handed out by the NCAA. Then-coach Phil Dickens was suspended for one year by the Big Ten Conference in 1957 but did not receive any additional penalty after the 1960 NCAA action. Notre Dame Athletic Director Gene Corrigan said Friday the latest action by the presidents’ commission “intensifies the awareness there is a problem,” but the harshest penalties being considered may be softened before final action is taken. “My guess is that by the time we get to the June meeting, some of those things will be modified, probably tempered a bit,”
Murphy's Law 'not very nice'to Astros
By The Associated Press Presumably, Dale Murphy won’t continue his current pace and finish the season with a .486 average, 108 homers and 324 runs batted in, but Houston Manager Bob Lillis might be hard to convince. “He likes to see us come to town,” Lillis said after Murphy hit his sixth homer and knocked in four runs, giving him 18 in nine games, as the Braves beat the Astros 9-5 Friday night. “He’s a nice guy, but he’s not very nice to us.” Murphy, who had 10 homers and 24 RBI against the Astros in 1984, has 17 hits in 35 at-bats for the season. Murphy hit a run-scoring double in the fifth inning and a three-run homer in the sixth. He said he didn’t hit the home run ball well, although it went over the center field fence at the 402-foot mark. “That ball was not a home run in other
casions.lt was the second successive defeat for the Tigers, who won their first six games. Along with Brett, Darryl Motley, Steve Balboni and Jim Sundberg also hit homers for the Royals. In other American League games, Chicago beat Boston 8-1; Texas turned back Milwaukee 4-1; Toronto stopped Baltimore 6-5; Cleveland nipped New York 2-1; Oakland tripped Minnesota 4-2 and California crushed Seattle 9-1. White Sox 8, Red Sox 1 Carlton Fisk and Luis Salazar cracked two-run homers and Rudy Law and Harold Baines hit solo shots to lead Chicago to a home-opening victory over Boston behind Britt Burns’ six-hitter. Burns, 2-0, walked one and struck out seven in his first complete game since last May. Mike Trujillo, 0-1, was the loser.
Schuetter happy, despite Eagle defeat in boys' track
SPENCER-Although South Putnam lost Thursday’s makeup dual track meet with Owen Valley Vfe, coach Wayne Schuetter was pretty happy about the meet. For when the Eagles take on Greencastle Monday at 4:30 p.m. in a dual girls and boys meet at DePauw University’s Blackstock Stadium, they will be coming off some of their best performances of the season. “OVERALL 1 WAS pleased, but there were a couple of places we didn’t perform where we had performed (well) before,” coach Wayne Schuetter assessed. “If we Azingerjust watches his own birdies HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - It’s not that he’s camera-shy. Not exactly. But for a fellow who hasn’t been there before, the television camera can be intimidating, Paul Azinger said. “The first time I was on television was (about a month ago) at Bay Hill (in Orlando, Fla.). I was very conscious of the camera. I think I let it affect me,” said Azinger, who, as a co-leader at the halfway point of the Sea Pines Heritage Classic, faced another television date today. Azinger, patiently waiting for the birdies to come, collected four over the last six holes Friday, shot a 67 and moved into a tie for the 36-hole lead with journeyman Bobby Wadkins at 133. That is nine under par on the Harbour Town Golf Links with 36 holes to go in the chase for a $72,000 first prize. That is more than Azinger’s career earnings. Wadkins, not yet a winner in an 11-year PGA Tour career that has been played in the shadow of his brother, Lanny, had a second-round 68. “I’m just tickled to death. I’m playing about as good as I can play. I’ve found that good groove. I really feel, for the first time in a long time, that I’ve got me and my golf game going in the right direction,” Wadkins said.
said Corrigan, a member of the policymaking NCAA council that endorsed the series of measures. “Some of the things, like the idea of closing down a football program for two years ... effectively, if you do that to a Division I football program, is like shutting down the program forever,” Corrigan said. “But if there are two infractions in five years, probably they they deserve to close forever.” As for other proposed penalties, including curtailment of recruiting visits by coaches and by high school athletes to the colleges, suspension of staff members for at least one year and sanctions against post-season competition and television appearances, Corrigan said, “Those things should be done, absolutely.” “The fact that a student atmete accepts money or illegal inducements, the coach who cheats and then moves on should not
parks,” he said. “It just carried good here.” Alan Ashby belted Houston’s first homer of the season in the eighth. Mets 1, Phillies 0 New York’s Dwight Gooden extended his scoreless-innings streak to 17 with eight innings of three-hit pitching, and Keith Hernandez broke a 0-0 tie with Philadelphia with a two-out bloop single in the ninth inning. Pinch-hitter Wally Backman opened the ninth with a single off reliever Charlie Hudson, 0-1, and took second on a sacrifice by Mookie Wilson. One out later, Hernandez lifted a single into short right field to bring home the only run of the game. Gooden, 2-0, who shut out Cincinnati on four hits in his previous outing, struck out seven and walked one. Left-hander Steve Carlton started for the Phillies and gave
Rangers 4, Brewers 1 Toby Harrah singled three times and drove in the winning run to back the combined five-hit pitching of Dave Rozema and Dave Stewart in leading Texas over Milwaukee. The Rangers snapped a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning against reliever and loser Ray Searage, 0-1, as Harrah’s base hit knocked in the go-ahead run. Gary Ward followed with an RBI single to score Wilkerson, and Harrah came home on an infield single by Buddy Bell. Rozema recorded his first win against two losses by scattering four hits over seven innings. Stewart earned his first save, holding the Brewers to one hit over the last two innings. Blue Jays 6, Orioles 5 Jesse Barfield’s three-run homer capped a four-run sixth inning and powered Toronto to a come-from-behind victory over
had (performed well) we would have won the meet.” Brian Johnston gave South Putnam two strong races in the 110-meter high hurdles and in the 300-meter low hurdles. Johnston won the high hurdles in 16.1 seconds and finished second in the low hurdles. But the strongest showing of the meet came from the shot put and discus athletes. Tony Cash put the shot a careerbest 45 feet, nine inches, and Jon Hendrich finished second at 45 feet, five inches. Hendrich threw the discus a season-best 132 feet, four inches, but finished second.

be allowed to coach. All those things I think are proper,” said Corrigan. “One of the things that has happened is that each year, the penalties have become stiffer. But everyone (on the NCAA council) feels it’s important to have the presidents involved. The council basically approved the proposals. We said we’d take them to the meeting (in June) and we’re going to support them.” The proposals resulted from several months of meetings by the NCAA presidents and were not prompted by the recent basketball scandal at Tulane, Corrigan said. “My feeling of the Tulane affair is it’s really tied into drugs,” he said. “That’s almost a different issue. A combination of factors made the president of Tulane do what he did (dropping the program). ” Purdue football coach Leon Burtnett said the Tulane scandal “scares you
up only two hits in seven innings. Expos 5, Cubs 3 Pinch-hitter Jim Wohlford’s three-run homer in the sixth inning helped Montreal hand Chicago right-hander Rick Sutcliffe his first regular-season loss since last June 29. Sutcliffe, who had won 16 straight decisions, led 3-1 after Ron Cey’s two-run homer in the top of the sixth. But singles by Vance Law and Mike Fitzgerald and a run-scoring double by Tim Raines chased Sutcliffe, who was relieved by Ray Fontenot. Wohlford hit the second pitch over the left field fence and the Expos went on to end the Cubs’ five-game winning streak. Cardinals 5, Pirates 4 Vince Coleman, playing in only his second major-league game, had four hits and knocked in two runs, including a two-
Baltimore. The four-run rally wiped out a 4-1 Baltimore lead, then Ernie Whitt’s RBI single in the eighth provided the Blue Jays with their eventual winning run. That offset a pinch home run by Baltimore’s Larry Sheets in the ninth, his second. Rookie Fritz Connally’s grand slam homer in the fifth had provided the Orioles with a 4-0 lead before the Blue Jays started their comeback. Indians 2, Yankees 1 Julio Franco hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and Neal Heaton and Tom Waddell made it stand up in Cleveland’s victory over New York, ending the Yankees’ four-game winning streak. Heaton, 1-0, scattered eight hits in 7 1-3 innings, walked one and struck out one for the Indians. A’s 4, Twins 2 Dwayne Murphy and Mike Heath hit
2:09.8 first place time in the 800-meter run for the Eagles, while Brian Bridgewater won the 400-meter dash in 54.7 seconds and Jon Bridgewater took the pole vault at 12 feet, six inches. Coach Schuetter put the trio together with Chris Sullivan to make up the first place 1600-meter relay team that finished in 3:45.8. Another of the surprise areas for South Putnam came in the 100-meter dash where Dan Smetzer took first in 12.3 seconds and Steve Williamson finished second. South Putnam’s weakest events were the 1600- and 3200-meter running events where third place was the best finish.

because of the outside forces. We can’t live with the players every day and we hope they’re strong enough to overcome the outside forces.” “The get-tough measures would be great if the NCAA can really enforce them,” Burtnett said of the presidents’ proposals. “They have to stop talking about rules and start enforcing the rules they have. The NCAA is a weak organization right’ now. It has suffered too many blows. If a school cheats it should pay the price. But that hasn’t been the case in several recent circumstances,” Burtnett said. “College football is at a pivotal point right now because the pressure to win on young men is tremendous,” the Purdue coach added. “I feel we have to start doing more for our players. The agents worry coaches the most because vast numbers of kids have already signed with agents before their senior years.”
out triple in the eighth inning that snapped a 4-4 tie. Coleman’s three-bagger into the right field corner made a winner of Joaquin Andujar, 2-0, and a loser of reliever John Candelaria, 1-2. Reds 4, Giants 2 Eric Davis tripled to trigger a two-run Cincinnati first inning and singled home the go-ahead run in the fourth as the Reds beat San Francisco for their fifth consecutive victory. The Reds, who have won 14 of their last 16 home games against San Francisco, fell behind 1-0 in the first on Jeff Leonard’s RBI double. Padres 11, Dodgers 2 LaMarr Hoyt scattered nine hits for his first NL victory and his San Diego teammates supported him with 14 hits against Los Angeles.
home runs in the fourth inning to erase a Minnesota lead, and Oakland went on to beat the Twins behind the combined fourhit pitching of Chris Codiroli and Jay Howell. The A’s won their fifth straight game, matching their best streak of last season. The Twins suffered an eighth consecutive defeat, with pitcher Frank Viola taking the loss despite pitching a six-hitter. Angels 9, Mariners 1 Rod Carew stroked a pair of RBI singles and right-hander Ron Romanick scattered 10 hits as California downed Seattle for the Angels’ fourth straight victory. Romanick, 2-0, completed his first game of the season, walking three and striking out one. Mike Moore, 2-1, retired the first nine men he faced before the Angels’ took charge of the game with three runs in the fourth and three more in the fifth.
