Last season’s results were pleasing enough to head coach Jackie Sherrill that he decided to allow the ghost of E. King Gill to be embodied once again in the form of the kickoff team. Assistant coach David Beal, who directs the team, said every position on the team is open competition. “The guys that made it last year will have to go through it all over again,” Beal said. Senior Ike Liles, who made the 16-member squad last sea son, said he had some worries about trying out again. Liles, an electrical engineering major, said he was a concerned about the time it took away from his school work. The Kickoff team put as much time as the rest of the foot ball team, about three hours a day, Liles said. But they did more than just practice kick offs. Sherrili said each kickoff team member was to pick another position. Then during practice, they would work out with that particular group. Liles liked that idea. “That way we could better ourselves physically and mental ly,” he said. Liles said he had no regi ets about the time and the effort he put into the squad. “I’ll be able to look back on it and be proud of it,” he said. “I had a good time and made some really good friends on the football team.” Although Liles is a senior, he has one more year of playing eli gibility left. Liles is going to try out for the team again. Being a part of the Twelfth Man Kickoff squad, he said, really didn’t hurt his grades. Olympic drug ban may expand United Press International BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Olympic athletes, who already face testing for steroids, caffeine and testosterone, may also be checked for use of growth hor mones, an International Olym pic Committee medical official said Saturday. Belgian Prince Alexandre de Merode, chairman of the IOC’s Medical Commission, said re search is underway in England and France to determine the effect growth hormones can have on health and athletic per formance. Currently, growth hormones are not on the Olym pic’s list of banned substances. “We must study this ques tion,” de Merode told reporters at a briefing arranged by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee. “It’s too early to tell you it will be done. It’s too early to tell you it will not be done. It’s a real possibility.” De Merode said the medical commission will discuss growth hormones at the IOC’s Execu tive Committee meeting in Sara jevo, Yugoslavia, where the Winter Olympics begin Feb. 7. He said the top four finishers in all Olympic competitions will be tested fot use of anabolic ster oids and caffeine. Random checks will also be conducted. “Everyone must realize they could be tested anywhere,” he said. He said drug testing at the Los Angeles Games will be done with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to ensure the cer tainty of result. The most sweeping action against drug use in international sports occurred last August at the Pan American Carnes in Caracas, Venezuela. Fifteen athletes were cited and 12 American athletes with drew a day after the first seven drug penalties were levied. It was widely assumed that most of those athletes feared a drug test would have shown they had been using a banned subst ance. De Merode called for “social regulation” to protect athletes from depleting their physical re sources by overtraining or com peting in too many events. “Doping is a problem,” he said. “But the main problem for athletes is what will happen to their health during their career and after, especially after.” AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES Call: George Webb Farmers Insurance Group 3400 S.

Head track coach Charlie Thomas said Howard, who is still in school at A&M, travels to all of the meets with the track team. Overall, Thomas said he was pleased with his team’s initial outing. “It was a good first meet for us,” he said. “We had 15 new people there who hadn’t com peted before. But Thomas has to be the most pleased with the efforts of his top mile relay team. “I feel like they’re running real well,” he said. “They’ll run against four or five of the best teams in the country at the LSI) Invitational.” And the LSU Invitational in Baton Rouge is the men’s next indoor meet on Feb. 16.
