NCAA votes in favor of drug tests
Associated Press
NEW' ORLEANS — NCAA schools said yes to drug
testing and no to a ban on letting boosters recruit on
campus Tuesday as the association’s 80th annual con
vention ended one day early.
Tuesday’s action, while sometimes confused, never
was as volatile as on Monday when Division I institu
tions voted to retain standardized test scores in a far-
reaching new academic requirement for freshmen.
Some black educators, maintaining the tests are ra
cially discriminatory, said Tuesday they would “con
sider our options.”
“We will discuss legal action and we will discuss get
ting out of the NCAA,” said Joseph Johnson, presi- '
dent of Grambling and the sharpest critic of the stan
dardized tests.
I he measure on drug-testing was virtually unop
posed by the nearly 1,800 delegates. Athletes who test
f iosilive on a long list of “street drugs,” as well as per-
ormance-enhancing substances, will Ipse their eligibil
ity for a minimum of 90 days. The tests will be done at
football bowl games and NCAA championships and
could involve penalties for coaches who have knowl
edge of drug use but do not report it.
Vince Dooley, the head football coach and athletic
director at the University of Georgia, said he was “very
pleased and quite surprised that it passed with such an
overwhelming majority, based on some of the conver
sations I’ve had with people who have expressed con
cern over it because of constitutional rights, individual
rights ...”
Last year’s convention rejected a drug-testing pro
posal because it did not include street drugs.
The scandal-wracked Southwest Conference failed
to push through a motion that would ban boosters
from recruting on campus. Some opponents had sug
gested that boosters might enroll in a one-hour night
course to get around the rule.
“That’s foolishness,” said Houston faculty represen
tative Mike Johnson. Johnson, after hearing his mea
sure attacked from all sides, suggested that it be with
drawn.
One of the biggest turnarounds of the convention
came on a much-debated proposal to reduce from
eight to six the number of sports a school must sponsor
for both men and women to qualify for Division TA,
the top football league.
Narrowly defeated Monday, it w’as brought up for
reconsideration Tuesday and defeated by one vote,
55-54. But then it was again reconsidered when NCAA
President Jack Davis discovered that delegates in one
section of the room had not been counted. Given an
other chance, it passed 63-51.
Earlier Tuesday, to the disappointment of most ma
jor football schools, delegates rejected a proposal to
raise to $ 1,400 the amount of Pell grant money a schol
arship athletic can receive. Athletes can now get $900
under the federal assistance program for needy stu
dents.
Rockets’ streak
ends with Jazz
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Utah’s Rickey
Green hit a basket and two free
throws over the final nine seconds
and Karl Malone scored 29 points
Monday night to lead the Jazz to a
105-102 NBA victory over Houston,
snapping the Rockets’ 20-game
home winning streak.
The Jazz were victims of Hous
ton’s streak in two earlier games, los
ing 134-105 and 106-99.
The Rockets took a 96-89 lead
with 5:36 to play but Malone hit four
free throws and Pace Mannion con
nected on a three-point basket for a
96-96 deadlock to set up the dra
matic finish.
The score was tied two more times
and Houston took a brief 102-101
lead with 51 seconds to play before
Green sank a jumper with nine sec
onds to play and added two free
throw’s with two seconds to go.
Mannion came off the bench to
hit 13 points, all in the fourth quar
ter.
Akeem Olajuwon, held to six
points in the first half, finished with
23 points before fouling out with
1:26 left in the game. Ralph Samp
son fouled out with 3:28 to play.
Lewis Lloyd scored 28 points to
lead Rocket scorers.
Malone hit three of Utah’s first
four baskets in the third quarter to
erase a 59-57 Houston halftime lead
in the ruggedly played game.
But the Rockets took the lead
again at 80-76 going into the fourth
quarter.
Houston struggled throughout
the first half but came through
