NOVEMBER 5, 1981 Imports !< '! i n Coach violates recruiting rules <1 > TCU slapped with probation United Press International | M | tic MISSION, Kan. — Texas ft (Christian University has been pcplaced on probation for one year Ju-'by the National Collegiate Athle- :j] °tic Association as a result of viola- j-^tions in the conduct of the men’s ( u intercollegiate basketball deprogram. , t The action, announced III )r Wednesday, will not affect the (i ^university’s eligibility for post- !| ^season competition or television basketball, the Infrac- If appearances : ljL; NCAA’s Committee p tions said. i / However, as a result of his in- JL volvement in the case, the univer- i|*^ sity will prohibit one assistant bas- |J ketball coach from engaging in any 'k : off-campus recruiting activities 'during the probation period and will not provide the individual a salary increase during the 1982-83 academic year. Charles Alan Wright, chairman I of the NCAA committee, said: “The violations in this case in volved the improper recruitment of only one prospective student- athlete by one assistant basketball coach.” According to the NCAA, while recruiting a prospective student- athlete during the summer of 1979, the coach arranged for someone other than the student to perform class assignments re quired for two junior college clas ses in which the student was en rolled. The coach, who was not named, arranged for the student, also not named, to be enrolled in two junior colleges at no cost to the student. The coach also arranged for the student to be provided round-trip commercial airline transportation at no cost to the student between his junior college and his home, and, on the trip home, the coach provided the student with car transportation from an airport to the student’s home. “However, the committee was quite concerned with the nature of Spurs’ Brewer finds range for 39 points in 128-102 triumph u 4 United Press International SAN ANTONIO — Coach Stan Albeck realized that without scor ing ace George Gervin, the San Antonio Spurs’ offense would need help. Albeck looked to Ron Brewer, and was right on target. Brewer responded to Gervin’s absence by connecting on 15 of 25 field goals and tossing in a career- high 39 points Wednesday night to spark the Spurs to a 128-102 NBA win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. “With Ice (Gervin) out, we knew Brewer would have to score more,” said Albeck, who learned two hours before the game that injuries would keep Gervin and starter Mark Olberding on the bench. “But everybody on the team went out and took the game to Cleveland,” Albeck said. Brewer provided the bulk of San Antonio’s early offense, hit ting 35 points in the first three periods, and credited the per formance to gaining more playing time this season. “When I got here last year, I hadn’t been playing much in Port land and I knew my game would improve with more playing time,” he said. “I never lost my confi dence. I just didn’t get enough playing time. All I have to do is get involved and I can play like this.” Brewer’s shot from the comer at the close of the third period gave San Antonio a 100-83 lead, biggest of the game at that point. Cleveland, trailing 65-58 at in termission, was down just 87-79 with 3:45 left in the third quarter, but the Spurs unreeled a 13-4 spurt that included three straight unanswered field goals in the clos ing minute. The Cavs, paced by 21 points from Kenny Carr, hit only 10 of 15 attempts from the field in the third period. Veteran guard James Silas, traded to Cleveland by San Antonio in the off-season, contri buted 18 points and received a standing ovation. “The standing ovation brought memories of the ABA All-Star game in 1979,” said Silas. “I know the people in San Antonio still care about me and I still care about them. “San Antonio won because good clubs don’t get down when their starters go out. Cleveland is too relaxed on defense and we need to put it together soon.” San Antonio, the defending Midwest Division champion, is now 3-1. Cleveland is 1-2. United Press International DALLAS — Just because the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles do not meet again until Dec. 13 doesn’t mean the com parisons will stop. Their rivalry, it seems, transcends the games themselves. Dallas’ 17-14 win over Philadel phia on the road Sunday eased the pendulum back toward the Cow boys, but coach Tom Landry said Tuesday the edge was only very, very slight. “We’re better (than the Eagles) today only because we beat them Sunday,” Landry said. But in the drive toward the playoffs, Landry said the Eagles remain as a logical entry into the post-season derby. “Over the long haul they still have an excellent defense,” Land ry said of Philadelphia. “They are solid defensively. We’re still trying to improve there. But you know Philadelphia is not going to be very far from the top as long as their defense plays the way it does. “They are not going to give up many points and as long as you don’t give up many points you not going to lose many games.” What might have been the dif ference between the Philadelphia team he saw Sunday and the one that whipped the Cowboys in the NFC title game last season? “They are pretty much the same team,” Landry said. “Momentum to them is so important. They are such an emotional type of team. They are starting to feel being on top and trying to repeat again which is a little different than trying to get there. It is a little different feeling psychologically. We are not defending anything. They are defending the champion ship. They have to prove they be long up there. All we are trying to do is get back there.” Landry said, however, that the teams that do reach the top these days are less removed from the rest of the league as teams that reached the top a few years ago. “Maybe some of the teams five years ago were a little more domi nant over the whole field than they are now,” he said. “Teams aren’t dominant now like they were. “That’s why a team like San Francisco has won six straight games with young people. The whole league is balancing itself to some extent. Any team now can beat you. Whenever we slow down we get beat. That’s true for most teams. “And, yes, there are less bad teams. Of course, you can get started bad and ruin your season and it makes you look worse than you are. But the talent on every team now is very capable.” something for everyone in the Battalion Classified 845-2611 the infractions, which appeared to represent a deliberate attempt to circumvent NCAA legislation, and the committee believed that disciplinary action against the in stitution and the involved coach was warranted,” Wright said. Wright said the conduct of Texas Christian University offi cials throughout the investigation was exemplary and said the uni versity never before received a public penalty from the NCAA or the Southwest Conference. “The committee believes,” Wright said, “that the university continues to be committed to operating its athletic program in complete compliance with the let ter and spirit of NCAA legisla tion.” The Committee on Infractions found violations of NCAA legisla tion related to ethical conduct, re cruiting and certification of com pliance with NCAA legislation. Jim Killingsworth enters his second year this year as TCU bas ketball coach. Last year the Frogs sported a 7-19 record overall and 2-14 in the Southwest Confer ence. TCU opens the 1981-82 sea son Nov. 28 against Westmont University. Rockets’ tactics don’t fool anyone in Nuggets’ win United Press International DENVER— Denver head coach Doug Moe is proud of the way the Nuggets bounced back from a loss to San Antonio, and says the team played well in its 112-100 win over Houston, despite the Rockets’ effort to slow down the game. “We really asserted ourselves out there,” Moe said Wednesday night. “We did a super job off the boards. We moved well throughout the game, and that’s sometimes hard to do in a slowdown. It shows great discipline.” Kiki Vandeweghe hit 25 points and Alex En glish added 23 to pace the Nuggets, who im proved their season record to 2-1. Vandeweghe hit 11 of 16 shots from the floor and also grabbed 12 rebounds. Houston forced the high-scoring Nuggets to play at a deliberate pace, but could not overcome accurate Denver shooting. The Nuggets, who used only seven players, also got 20 points from | Dan Issel, 17 from Dave Robisch and 16 from Kenny Higgs. "That was a good confidence-builder for us,’ Moe said. “We played well without David|| (Thompson, sidelined with a back injury) andbeat a good team without him. We came backfronuj very bad game against San Antonio, and that) tough to do.” Allen Leavell came off the bench to score i career-high 29 points to lead the Rockets, whofel to 2-2. Moses Malone scored 18 points for Hous ton and Elvin Hayes had 13 points and 17re bounds.
