Hlate responds to NCAA
ireliminary investigation
By RITCHIE PRIDDY
Sports Editor
Texas A&M University head
track coach Charlie Thomas takes
a somewhat “hurt” 22-man squad
to the prestigious Texas Relays
this weekend in Austin.
Injuries have plagued the track
team throughout the season, par
ticularly in the last couple of
weeks.
“We’ve still got a bunch of in
juries, but we’re about to get back
to full strength,” Thomas said.
Last week the Aggies traveled
to McAllen for the City of Palms
Invitational where they finished
third in the four team meet. Five
of the Aggies’ top participants,
however, did not compete in their
specialties due to injuries.
Sprinters Rod Richardson and
Floyd Furlow did not run in the
meet due to sore hamstrings.
Hurdler Mike Glaspie was held
out with a sore thigh, and high
jumper James Howard had a sore
heel.
The Aggies won three events
last week and set one meet record.
Pole vaulter Randy Hall cleared
17 feet, 4 inches to set a meet
record in that event. Richard
Lamb won the javelin with a throw
of 210-4, and the 1600-meter relay
team of Larry Kerr, Bart Daniel,
Rick Thomas and Leslie Kerr won
with a time of 3:10.69.
Leshe Kerr did not run in his
specialty, the 400-meter dash; in
stead he competed in the relay.
He will not compete in the 400-
meter dash in Austin this weekend
but will run in the 1600-meter
relay.
Texas A&M will send only two
relay teams to the meet this
weekend; the 1600-meter and the
shuddle hurdle.
Thomas said Richardson and
Furlow are not at full strength yet,
but will compete in the mile relay
in Austin to “get back in shape”.
Glaspie has not healed suffi
ciently enough to compete in the
meet so he will not make the trip.
Texas A&M was scheduled for a
home track meet with Lamar April
11, but Thomas said that both
teams have several injuries and
thus will take the week off to let
everyone heal.
Over 40 teams will be compet
ing in the university division in
the Texas Relays, which is consi
dered one of the top track meets in
the nation.
The two-day meet begins Fri
day at 9 a. m. in Memorial Stadium
in Austin.

likely, it won’t lead to that (full-
scale investigation).”
About any alleged violations
Tate said, “I don’t know if it is
happening. I don’t feel that our
people are going out and violating
any rules. I feel strongly that we
are abiding by the rules and reg
ulations laid down by the NCAA.”
Although some students have
speculated that former students
may be involved in any recruiting
violations, there is no evidence to
support the claim.
Tate said that after the Karl
Godine, Jarvis Williams blow-up
of three years ago — after which
the Texas A&M basketball team
was suspended from post-season
play for a year — the University
conducted a two-day seminar in
which then Athletic Council
Chairman Charles Samson, Presi
dent Jarvis Miller, Tate and others
spoke to 57 people who had athle
tic interests in Texas A&M.
During the seminar these mem
bers of the so-called “athletic in
terests” were told what they can
and cannot do with the Athletic
Department or on their own con
cerning recruiting.
“I don’t know of any other prog
ram that has ever done that, ” Tate
said.
He said that he was confident
that none of the people attending
the seminar had anything to do
with any wrongdoings, but also
that he would have no way of
knowing if they did.
If any violations of NCAA rules
are found on the part of Texas
A&M or its alumni, Tate said, that
necessary steps would be taken to
correct the situation.
“If it’s found that we are in viola
tion (of any rules), steps would be
taken by us, by the NCAA and the
Southwest Conference. We would
obviously take corrective mea
sures,” he said.
He said that if rules are know
ingly violated, and it is proved,
then those involved will have to
“suffer the consequences".
Tate stated that he does not
know all of the information the
NCAA has or is looking into, and
won’t know until it is released by
the NCAA.
“If it leads to something I hope
that it leads to clearing up of any
allegations or any suspicions on
the part of everybody,” Tate said.
