sports Perry suspended by NHL United Press International NEW YORK — The Los Angeles Kings, although unhap py with the ruling, plan no appeal of the NHL’s decision to suspend Coach Don Perry 15 days for ordering Paul Mulvey to leave the bench and partici pate in a fight. The Kings also were fined $5,000. “It would appear to be a se vere penalty,” said owner Jerry Buss. “Nevertheless, we choose to close this incident by waiving our right of appeal.” The ruling marked one of the most decisive stands the NHL has taken on its persistent prob lem with on-ice violence. “We penalize with a degree of understanding certain actions that result from the intensity and frustration of the game,” said NHL President John Zieg ler in a statement. “We cannot and will not, however, tolerate premeditated 'Lisa Wants AH Her Customers To Know She's Back At Work At' BILL'S BARBER 8e Roffler Style Shop hair Styling For Men Sc Women "A Great Cut at a Reasonable Price!" 215 University (next to Campus Theatre) 846-2228 Open Mon.-Sat.

General Manager George Maguire refused comment on whether Perry would be paid during his suspension. Perry was unavailable for comment. Assistant Coach Brad Selwood will coach during Perry’s sus pension. The last lime a coach was found to have instigated a brawl was in February 1980 when Pat Quinn of the Philadelphia Flyers was suspended for three games and fined $5,000. The NHL began an inquiry when the Kings placed Mulvey on waivers Saturday. When he was still unclaimed Tuesday, he was sent to New Haven of the American Hockey League and the NHL Players Association filed a grievance with the league on his behalf. Mulvey, a 23-year-old left wing, came to the Kings Dec. 30 from Pittsburgh with the Kings hit with injuries. Two weeks la ter, Perry was promoted from New Haven and replaced Par ker MacDonald as coach. On Jan. 24, in a game at V'ancouver, Perry told Mulvey to leave the bench and join a fight. He re fused. NHL rules call for an automa tic three-game suspension and general misconduct penalty, which carries a fine, for any player leaving the bench to join a fight on the ice. Perry blasted Mulvey, following last Sunday’s game, saying he didn’t want a player who wouldn’t obey his orders on his team. Mulvey said later that he had been told not to wear the Kings’ uniform again or even practice with the team. He conceded his S’/a-year NHL career might have ended. “He was asking me to get a couple more games in suspen sions,” said Mulvey. “I’m not going to be a designated assassin who just comes off the bench and fights.” Maguire insisted, regardless of the issue of the team fight, the Kings had never considered Mulvey more than a fringe player. “The incident involving the fight had nothing to do with our decision to put Mulvey on waiv ers,” he said. $1.50 Alfredos Tacos Al Carbon 509 University 846-3824 N0RTHGATE “We’ve got some great new meals just for you STEAK ’N SOME’ A Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy, Fries, $*^60 Toast and Salad, just £ K&M SEEKING SCHOOL OF HAIR DESIGN All work done by Senior Students at reduced salon rates! 693-7878 “K&M Sebring School of Hair Design” 693-7878 1406 Texas Aver.

Swim teams finish dua coliseum tlooi power came turned to thel 9:30 while Me # . coach Barry I meet season victorious by John Bramblett Battalion Staff The Texas A&M men’s and women’s swim teams ended their dual meet seasons Wednes day afternoon in P.L. Downs Natatorium with victories over Rice University. The men defeated Rice 74- 45, while the women won 73-50. With the win, the men’s season record stands at 4-4 and the women’s mark is 6-4. Winning the first seven events, the Aggie men built up an early 55-6 lead. The early lead enabled the Aggies to swim many of the latter events as ex hibition instead of for points, Coach Mel Nash said. The highlight of the men’s victories, Nash said, was the tie in the 50-yard butterfly. Texas A&M swimmers Chris Trick and Craig Buchmann both swam the event in 24.71 seconds. Other individual winners were Jim Hanigan in the 200- yard individual medley and the 100-yard backstroke, Mark Viminitz in the 50-yard and 100- yard breaststroke and Bob Hightower in the 500-yard freestyle. The Aggies’ Chris Londrigan won the 100-yard freestyle, Pat rick Henry won the 50-yard backstroke and Jack Fink won the 100-yard butterfly and 200- yard freestyle events. Other win ners were Pat Ballard in the 50- yard freestyle and Kevin Lon drigan in the 100-yard indi vidual medley. Texas A&M also won both 200-yard medley re lays. For the women, the top race was the 100-yard breaststroke. Nash said.
