quoted as saying.
SMU officials plan to challenge
the NCAA enforcement system on
the grounds that it does not identify
all violators and, therefore, punish
ment of SMU is discriminatory ap
plication of the rules, the newspaper
said.
The NCAA has been investigating
the recruiting practices of the SMU
football program for 26 months,
checking allegations of illegal in
ducements for prospects that in
cluded cash, cars and employment
for relatives.
SMU Athletic Director Bob Hitch
and Dallas lawyer John McElhaney,
who headed an in-house investiga
tion for SMU and has represented
the university during NCAA hear
ings, would not comment on the pos
sibility of an appeal.
Whether the appeal would make
SMU subject to possible tougher
sanctions now being considered by
the NCAA remains to be seen, said
David Berst, NCAA enforcement di
rector.
The NCAA Commission of Presi
dents recently revealed new propo
sals for stricter enforcement that
would divide infractions into minor
and major categories, including so-
called “gas chamber” penalties
against repeat violators of major in
fractions.
Among the “gas chamber” penal
ties is a provision that would allow
the NCAA to disband a program for
one or two years in extreme cases. A
special NCAA convention will con
sider the proposals June 20-21 in
New Orleans.
“Ultimately, the NCAA Council
has to determine how any new legis
lation becomes effective,” Berst said,
adding that voting delegates at the
special convention would decide the
effective date of any new rules.

Astros’ Cruz abandons
roadtrip for toe X-rays
its
I
Associated Press
The Houston Astros said Wednesday they are sending
lislo
Houston’s Jose Cruz
ST. LOUIS
veteran outfielder Jose Cruz home for further X-rays of a dislocated toe he
suffered May 24.
“We’re going to have our team physician take a look at it,” said Houston
spokesman Mike Ryan. “The left toe is not responding to treatment.”
Ryan also said an injury suffered last week by Astros rookie left-hander
Jeff Calhoun was diagnosed in Houston as separated ribs on the right side.
He said a decision will be made Friday on whether Calhoun, 0-1, will be
placed on the National League’s disabled list. The first-year pitcher, like
Cruz, was hurt during batting practice.
Ryan said treatment for Cruz, a 37-year-old veteran of 15 major league
seasons, has consisted of “rest and trying to keep off it as much as he can.”
Cruz suffered the injury as he stubbed his toe during batting practice
prior to a .game against the Chicago Cubs. Cruz has a .329 batting average,
third in the NL.
6 arraigned
for trafficking
illegal drugs
in baseball
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Names of ma
jor league baseball players are not
likely to be mentioned during ar
raignments Friday for six of seven
men charged in a federal grand jury
investigation of drug trafficking.
U.S. Attorney J. Alan Johnson,
who directed the probe thht pro
duced indictments last Thursday,
said he expected only a brief pro
ceeding before a federal magistrate.
“They all plead not guilty at this
stage, primarily,” Johnson said.
He declined comment on whether
plea bargains have been reached
with any of the defendants.
At least a dozen players testified
before the grand jury, most under
grants of immunity, and at least
three of them had undergone drug
rehabilitation.
No baseball players were named
in the indictments, but they could be
called as witnesses if the cases reach
trial. Published reports have quoted
unnamed sources as saying the al
leged dealers sold drugs to players.
Those charged in the indictments
have said some of the players were
friends.
Arraignments are scheduled to
begin at 11 a.m. Curtis Strong, 38, of
Philadelphia, is the only defendant
still awaiting an arraignment date.
Meanwhile, a study of the indict
ments showed that more than two-
thirds of the 165 violations charged
to the defendants allegedly occurred
on dates from 1980 through 1984
when the Pittsburgh Pirates played
home games in Three Rivers Sta
dium.
One of the defendants is accused
of selling cocaine on every date the
team was in Pittsburgh in 1983, ei
ther playing or on a day off.
Johnson declined comment on the
pattern of the dates involved in the
indictments.
But Strong’s lawyei', Adam Renf-
roe Jr., was quoted in Thursday’s
New York Times as saying: “With
out question, this whole thing in
volves baseball players.”
Renfroe did not return telephone
calls to his office on Thursday.
Another lawyer, Stanton Leven-
son, who represents Jeffrey Mosco,
said: “My assumption is that this is
the case that 12 ballplayers got im
munity on.”
Mosco, 30, of Pittsburgh, is
charged with 12 counts of cocaine
distribution.
Of the 111 counts against Dale
Shiffman, a 33-year-old unem
ployed photographer from Pitts
burgh, 106 are for alleged posses
sion with-intent to distribute cocaine.
He is charged with the violation 87
times in 1983, all of them allegedly
occurring when the Pirates either
played games or had days off at
home.
Gary Ogg, Shiffman’s attorney,
did not return telephone calls
Thursday.
Another defendant, Shelby
Greer, 29, of Philadelphia, traveled
to Florida nearly every other week
during a two-year period to buy co
caine, prosecutors said at a bail hear
ing.
The cities he visited, according to
the indictment, included Denver
and Pittsburgh and five others with
National League teams — Houston,
Los Angeles, Philadelphia, St. Louis
and San Diego.
Greer’s attorney, John Zagari,
said his client would plead innocent
Friday. Zagari declined further com
ment.
