Chancellor says NCAA found
UCLA needy of watchful eye
h.i
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — According
to UCLA Chancellor Charles
Young, the NCAA has kept the
powerful Bruin basketball prog
ram under “constant surveillance”
for more than a decade looking for
rules violations.
Young, speaking at a news con
ference in the wake of the NCAA’s
announcement that the UCLA
team had been placed on two
years probation and banned from
next spring’s NCAA tournament,
said he didn’t feel UCLA was un
fairly penalized by the NCAA. But
Young made it clear he felt the
organization was keeping a closer
than usual eye on the UCLA prog
ram — the most successful in the
history of college basketball.
“Any program as successful as
ours insures close, constant scru
tiny by the NCAA,” Young said
Wednesday. “This is not a witch
hunt, though. The rules are there
and they must be enforced. But I
believe we’ve been under con
stant surveillance by the NCAA
due to our success.”
Young was joined at the news

107-96. With Denver’s loss to Phi
ladelphia, San Antonio now has a
six-game lead in the NBA s Mid
west Division.
Williams drew sympathy from
friend and foe alike. Exhaustion,
they said, was the key.
“Gus Williams didn’t hit a field
goal and that’s not going to happen
very often, said San Antonio
coach Stan Albeck. “That was one
of the significant factors in
tonight’s game. They’ve been on
the road and I believe they got a
little tired. ”
Williams’ coach, Lenny Wil
kins, said the guard was “totally
out of synch” Wednesday night.
“Playing last night really hurt
us,” Wilkins said. “Fatigue was
deffinitely a key.”
For the Spurs, George Gervin
scored 25 points and Johnny
Moore — who Albeck called “the
guy who got us going” — made
several crucial steals in the fourth
period.
“Our plan was to run with them
because they were tired,” Albeck
said. “And run we did.”
conference on the UCLA campus
by Athletic Director Robert Fis
cher and head basketball coach
Larry Farmer.
Farmer, in his first year as head
coach of the Bruins, said he didn’t
expect his team to fold because of
the NCAA sanctions against it.
“I had a long talk with the team
and I explained that this is one of
life’s hurdles for them,” said Far
mer, whose team is currently
ranked 20th. “After 10 minutes
they came out and had a very spi
rited practice.
“We re not going to give up. We
have 27 games left to play and we
are still UCLA.”
The Bruin basketball program
was penalized for NCAA viola
tions ranging from reduced apart
ment rates for players to giving a
recruit a T-shirt.
The sanctions were announced
by the NCAA late Tuesday. In
addition to being banned from this
season’s NCAA tourney, the
squad was also prohibited from
playing in the National Invitation
Tournament.
Also, the team’s second-place
finish in the 1980 NCAA tourna
ment was voided because some
violations affected the eligibility of
two players at the time of the tour
nament. The school will be re
quired to return the trophy and
the awards given to the ineligible
players, who were not named.
Part of the investigation dealt
with the acquisition of auto
mobiles for four freshman players
during the 1979-80 school year.
The NCAA also found violations
of rules governing extra benefits to
student-athletes including finan
cial aid, recruiting inducement,
entertainment and local auto
mobile transportation.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Nobody ever is going to
call George Steinbrenner a Boy Scout. He’s a devout
believer in their motto, though. Be Prepared.
He’s also a big believer in the corporate image.
Whenever one of his men is filling a capacity, he
makes sure he has another right there getting on-the-
job training so he’s ready to step in if the first one
falters. That’s the way he operates his two corpora
tions: the American Shipbuilding Company and the
New York Yankees.
"Hey, did you hear, the Yankees have just called
another press conference, dead-panned Dodger
manager Tommy LaSorda a few minutes after
Wednesday’s announcement at the baseball meet
ings that Gene Michael would scout in 1982 and then
be brought back to manage the club again from 1983
through 1985. “They’re gonna announce Boh Lemon
has been named manager for 1986 and 1987. ”
Nothing is impossible, as Steinbrenner already
has proven, by hiring, firing and rehiring Billy Mar
tin, Lemon and Michael as his managers and by once
hiring still another manager, Dick Williams, whom
he signed for three years but who never managed for
him a single day.
Steinbrenner didn’t show up at the press confer
ence called to “solidify” the Yankees managerial
situation. Bill Bergesch, the vice president in charge
of the club’s baseball operations, made the
announcement and one of the first questions asked
him was how safe was Lemon’s job for the duration of
next season.
Bergesch answered this way:
“Let me clarify that just a little bit. I want to say
right now Mr. Steinbrenner s idea is Bob Lemon
asked for one more year. He has a lot of reasons why
he wants to manage one more year, and he’s going to
have that year. Bob Lemon is going to be the mana
ger next season. After that, the team will be turned
over to Gene Michael. But Gene isn’t even going to
be with the club — he’s going to be on detachedli
more or less during the season. It s Bob Lea!
team in 1982.”
Bight there, George Steinbrenner was oil
hook. If he does decide to fire Lemon as iw
again and replace him with Michael sometki
ing the 1982 season and is reminded thatLerai
supposed to manage all year, he can honestlysf
never said any such thing. Technically, he I
Bergesch said it.
Along with everything else, Steinbrennermr
