NFL, plans
new safety
strong
rules
United Press International
BOSTON — A National Football
League committee has recom
mended strong new safety rules to
cut down on the risk of serious in
juries such as the one which
patalyzed New England Patriots
end Darryl Stingley, the Boston
Globe reported Tuesday.
The Competition Committee*
consisting of Don Shula of Miami,
Tex Schramm of Dallas, Peter
Hadhazy of Cleveland and Paul
Brown of Cincinnati, “has decided
to legislate most of the big hits out of
the game in return for greater
safety,” the Globe said.
The newspaper said the commit
tee recommended — in a secret re
port Monday at the NFL meetings
in Honolulu — the league outlaw
use of the top of the football helmet
in tackling and blocking, and ban
blocking below the waist on all kic
koffs and punt returns.
The Globe also said the commit
tee recommended making every
Rematch
for NCAA
tourney
United Press International
It might have a geography stu
dent somewhat confused, but a
great sectional rematch will take
place Thursday night between De-
Paul and Marquette in the semifi
nals of the NCAA West Regional at
Provo, Utah.
Both Midwestern teams had been
hoping to go to Utah since the sea
son began, but they were thinking
more in terms of the national semi
finals at Salt Lake City in the last
weekend in March.
DePaul Coach Ray Meyer, whose
eighth-ranked Blue Demons edged
Marquette, 61-60, in Chicago last
month, doesn’t seem to mind the
rematch or the location. The 65-
year-old veteran, who leads the na
tion’s active coaches in victories
with 593, is just looking to send his
team to the final four in their ninth
visit to the NCAA tournament.
“Yes, it’s going to be very difficult
beating a team you have already be
aten, especially considering how
close the first game was, but we ll be
mentally ready and able,” Meyer
said. “We’ve come this far already
and we are not about to change any
thing that we’ve done.”
The Blue Demons have indeed
come quite far. Unranked for most
of the season, DePaul quietly
chalked up a 23-5 record which in
cluded a 76-72 upset of highly
touted Notre Dame. The NCAA
rewarded the Midwest independent
with an at-large bid to the post
season tournament. But, like nearby
independent Marquette, DePaul
was sent West “to strengthen the
region.”
Both teams have done just that,
skipping through second-round ac
tion Sunday to set up the dislocated
regional rematch. DePaul topped
Southern California 89-78 and Mar
quette whipped Pacific 73-48.
‘Were looking better every
game,” said Meyer. “If we can get
out in front, we’re awfully tough to
stop.”
The winner of the Marquette-
DePaul game will face the winner of
the UCLA-San Francisco matchup,
also scheduled for Thursday night at
Provo for the regional finals.
In other regional semifinals, top-
ranked Indiana State takes on Okla
homa at Cincinnati Thursday after
No. 6 Arkansas faces Louisville for
Midwest honors.
Dispute in
2nd round
NIT game
United Press International
RENO, Nev. — Big forwards
Vernon Smith and Rynn Wright
combined for over half of Texas
A&M’s points in leading the Aggies
to a 67-64 victory Monday night in a
disputed second-round National In
vitational Tournament basketball
game.
The Aggies led by 12 points with
four minutes to go, but 6-foot guard
Mike Gray led a Reno comeback
that made it 67-64 with seven sec
onds to go.
The Aggies then called a time out,
which Nevada said was its sixth and
thus called for a technical, which
would have been followed by Neva
da’s inbounding the ball.
After a long discussion, during
which a shower of beer cans hit the
floor, the referee and scorer agreed
that one of the timeouts should not
have been counted since it was for
an injury.
Wolf Pack coach Jim Carey said it
was not entered in the books as such
and said the game might be pro
tested, which would be a first in
NIT history.
The 6-7 Smith scored a game high
20 while Wright added 15. Gray led
the losers with 18. Texas A&M
moves on with a 24-8 record, while
Nevada-Reno finished with a 21-7
record.
de
block or tackle that an official
termines was “made with the intent
to injure,” a 15-yard penalty.
The newspaper said the commit
tee voted unanimously for the rec
ommendations.
“The kid (Stingley) is paralyzed
from the hit and still there wasn’t
any penalty on the play,” said a
source close to the committee
quoted by the Globe.
The recommendations could be
voted on by NFL owners as early as
today, the newspaper said.
China assures Olympic place
Taiwan refuses to meet officials
T
United Press International
LAUSANNE, Switzerland —
With one shrewd diplomatic
stroke, China has all but assured
itself a place in the Olympic
Games next year. International
Olympic Committee officials said
Monday.
Taiwan’s refusal to meet Pek
ing sports officials in face-to-face
negotiations will give the IOC an
ideal opportunity to fall in line
with other major world organiza
tions and switch its Chinese
membership from Taiwan to Pek
ing in the next few months, the
sources said.
Although the Taiwan Olympic
Committee has not yet made an
ofticial reply to IOC President
Lord Killanin’s invitation to the
round-table talks later this
month, Shen Chia-ming, presi
dent of the Taiwan Olympic
Committee, already has said
there is no chance Taiwan will
agree to the talks.
Other Taiwan government of
ficials in Taipei accused Killanin
of being a “Communist dupe”
and falling for “Chinese trickery”
in proposing the talks.
“It was no Chinese trick,”
Killanin said. “This is a meeting
which has been my suggestion
for the past three years.
“I don’t think I am a Com
munist, although I may be all
kinds of other things,” added the
Irish peer with a smile.
Until last week, Peking has
always refused to sit down at the
table with Taiwan officials in a
neutral venue no matter whether
the subject was sport, trade or
politics.
Taiwan sports officials told
New Zealand’s Lance Cross,
head of the three-man IOC dele
gation that studied the Chinese
Olympic puzzle, they would be
willing to meet China anywhere,
at any time, believing China
would never agree, the sources
said.
But Taiwan’s refusal to accept
the IOC as a mediator in Al
with China will give the ]( pare
opportunity to switch its o] nece
pic seal of approval to Pefcleaf
without appearing to have! l earr
unfair to Taiwan. In
Killanin said he hoped tnl wind
decision at the full nil-, to de
the IOC’s 89 members Apri|f in P r
Montevideo, Uruguay. Ifpjpanc
gets the green light, Chin,
ficials already have said thevT A
to send teams to both the \i ticip
and summer games.
