Tucker says the school has received notice of NCAA pe nalities to be imposed on its foot ball program. Although Tucker refused to say Tuesday what the penalties would be, the Fort Worth Star- Telegram quoted an unidentified source as saying they were less than those discussed by the NCAA’s Committee on Infrac tions and school officials over the last month. Penalties that had been consid ered included a drastic reduction in scholarship awards over a two- year period. Also included was a one-year ban on bowl partici pation and television appearances and a three-year probationary pe riod. “We have received a commu nication (from the NCAA),” Tucker said. “Beyond that, I am not in a position to comment at this point. We are now consid ering the contents and will reach some conclusion reasonably soon.” The investigation began last September when Coach Jim Wacker dismissed six players and later a seventh for receiving pay ments from boosters. TCU has 15 days — or more if an extension is granted — to de cide whether to accept the penal ties or appeal to the NCAA Coun cil. Historically, such appeals have not been successful. After receiving the NCAA’s letter, Tucker called an afternoon meeting in his office involving Tom Badgett, TCU faculty rep resentative to the Southwest Con ference, athletic director Frank Windegger and Jim Wacker. None of the three would com ment on the two-hour meeting, referring all inquiries to Tucker. TCU officials have had two hearings before the infractions committee, the latest on April 27 in Scottsdale, Ariz. m Vc 1. 8 ‘Manager’s best friend’ trips Tigers ARLINGTON (AP) — The pitch ers were in command at Arlington Stadium, Wednesday night but it was the manager’s best friend — a home run by Steve Buchele — that gave the Texas Rangers a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Detroit and Texas pitchers com bined for 19 strikeouts, while allow ing only three walks and nine hits. But with the " game tied 1-1 AmOMCCin in the bottom of the seventh inning, Buechele hit a Jack Morris pitch into the left-field seats to give the Rangers a 2-1 win. “That’s the manager’s best friend — the four-bagger,” Texas Manager Bobby Valentine said. Before the game, Ranger pitcher Ed Correa was scratched because of tenderness in his throwing arm, so Valentine started Ricky Wright for the first time this year. After giving up back-to-back doubles by the first two batters he faced, Wright retired 17 of the last 19 batters he faced be fore giving way to Dwayne Henry with two outs in the sixth. “He said he wanted a shot at the starting rotation,” Valentine said of Wright. “I told him if it ever came open I would.” For Wright, starting is exactly what he wants to be doing. “Sure (I want to start), who wouldn’t,” said Wright, who struck out three. “Starting pitching has to be the best thing in baseball to me. “Pitching is fun no matter how you do it, but if I had my preference I would like to start.” Henry, 1-0, was also outstanding in picking up his first victory of the season. In 2'A innings, he struck out five and did not surrender a hit. “I was throwing smoke,” Henry said. Greg Harris came on to pitch the ninth inning for the Rangers to get his fifth save of the year. The Rangers’ victory spoiled Jack Morris’ performance. Morris, 3-4, went the distance, striking out a sea son-tying high 10 batters, while al lowing three walks and five hits. It was his third complete game in seven starts. The Tigers jumped on Wright when Lou Whitaker and Alan Tram mell led off the game with consec utive doubles. Whitaker scored on Trammell’s double, but Trammell was stranded when the next three batters made outs. The Rangers got the one run back in their half of the first w hen, with one out, Toby Harrah doubled down the right-field line. One out later, Pete Incaviglia singled him home. Indians 7, Royals 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — Pat Fa bler’s two-run double keyed a three- run fourth inning, and Neal Heaton pitched a seven-hitter as the Cleve land Indians extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 7-1 victory Wednesday night over the Kansas City Royals. The victory gave the Indians — first in the American League East — their longest winning streak since an 11-game run in May and June of 1982. It also was their first three- game sweep of the Royals since 1979. Twins 5, Orioles 2 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Tom Brunansky homered twice to back Mike Smithson’s nine-hit pt Wednesday night as the Mins Twins defeated the Bar Orioles 5-2.

Fernandez worked seven National innings, allow- ing five hits, striking out three and walking two. Roger McDowell and Jesse Orosco each pitched an inning in relief, with Orosco getting his sixth save. The Mets have won 16 of their last 17 games, while the Astros have lost four in a row. Ryan, 3-4, who pitched five in nings, was the loser as he allowed all three runs, striking out three and walking two. After Keith Hernandez lined a one-out single to left field in the third inning, to extend his hitting streak to 11 games, Strawberry hit the first pitch from Ryan over the fence in right field. Strawberry now has 15 RBI and 11 runs scored in the past 13 games. Len Dykstra’s double, which bounced over the wall in right field, scored Ray Knight in the fourth in ning. Knight opened with a single and was sacrificed to second. The Astros made it 3-1 in the sixth inning on a one-out double by Glenn Davis after Billy Hatcher opened the inning with a single to right. Houston cut the deficit to 3-2 in the seventh on a walk to Mark Bai ley, a one-out pinch single by Jim Pankovits and a sacrifice fly by Bill Doran. Giants 7, Pirates 5 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bob Brenley’s two-run double keyed a three-run first inning, and Candy Maldonado knocked in the deciding run with a fifth-inning double, as the San Francisco Giants won their fourth game in a row, beating the SWC Track (continued from page 10) because of their strong distance run ners, but with the emergence of Cal vin Gaziano in the 1,500-meter run, A&M will not let the Razorbacks run away with the distance events. Texas is strong in the javelin and steeplechase, Baylor traditionally is the team to beat in the mile relay and TCU is loaded with sprinters, Thomas said. “We’ve got Heard and Kerr, and they’ve got five of them,” he added. Thomas said he believes Ian James is capable of winning the long jump for the Aggies, after he barely missed on a jump that would have measured well over 26 feet at the Houston Invitational Sunday. Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5 Wednesday night. Maldonado’s double helped the Giants build a 6-2 lead against losing pitcher Larry McWilliams, 0-3, who surrendered 10 hits in 4'A innings. Cardinals 4, Padres 3 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ozzie Smith tripled off Rich Gossage to start the 12th inning and scored on Jose Oquendo’s single to give St. Louis a 4-3 triumph Wednesday night over the San Diego Padres, snapping a Cardinals home losing streak at six games. The St. Louis victory, only its third in 16 contests, was the first at Busch Stadium since April 12. Cards pitching blanked San Diego for 10 straight innings after Steve Garvey’s two-run homer helped stake the Padres to a first-inning lead. Dodgers 8, Cubs 4 CHICAGO (AP) — Steve Sax’ grand slam, the first of his career. Thomas said he believes the triple jump is the strongest in conference history. Francisco Olivares will be adding the 1-2-3 punch for the ma roon and white in this event. Peaking too early doesn’t seem to be a problem for this A&M squad as the season comes to a close. “Everybody is performing at their broke a 4-4 deadlock inthesf I inning and carried the Los.t KIE Dodgers to an 8-4 win overtk was evai cago Cubs on Wednesday.
