G & S Studies, Inc. 846-5933 15617 1 Texas A&M first baseman Fred Gegen, whose teammates selected him as the Most Valuable Player in 1985, has signed on as a free agent with the Salt Lake City Trappers of the Pioneer League. The soft spoken tri-captain, who hit .314 with eight home runs and 37 RBI with the Southwest Conference champions, was passed up in the col legiate baseball draft because of a preseason injury, which Gegen said turned many scouts away. “I know that a lot of scouts stopped and lost some interest when (I broke my thumb),” Gegen said of the freak accident which caused him to miss the first 18 games of the season. “It was hard to come back after that. It was a big setback.” Gegen, who recovered and had a good conference tournament and NCAA regional, was named to the all-tournament teams at those events. Gegen had been dreaming of a chance of making the pros, but when draft day came around, his hope turned into disappointment. “I was really disappointed because it had been my dream going to play,” Gegen said. ” I knew after that there was no way I’d ever be drafted out of the normal draft. “I just set that behind me and de cided I had to make the best of it. I had Coach (Jim) Lawler and (Head) Coach (Mark) Johnson help me out by calling around and letting every body know I was open for free agency.” After the coaches called several ballclubs, Gegen received inquiries from two independent teams, the Miami Marlins and the Salt Lake City Trappers. The Miami call didn’t pan out, but late Tuesday night, Gegen agreed to a contract with the Trappers, a 20-25 man squad which plays 70 games a year. “I had to go with what I could get,” Gegen said. “I was excited. I was re lieved because it’s all pro ball. You look at it as a shot (at going pro). That’s all I want right now, is a snot." Gegen said he believes he will go in as a utility player since he has played first base, third base and left field in his college career. “I’m hoping to take it one step at a time,” Gegen said. “(I hope to) get into the lineup at Salt Lake and hope fully I’ll have a good year there and then hopefully another team will pick me up.

Later, on the first full court day since last Thursday, the USFL was frustrated by former ABC Sports chief Roone Arledge, who said the risk of NFL retaliation for televising USFL games never materialized and that ABC had “no earthly reason” to want the fledgling league to go out of business. Testifying in the USFL’s antitrust suit against the NFL, Arledge ack nowledged that he considered the NFL a more important client to ABC than the USFL. But he said that he made it clear to USFL Commissioner Harry Usher and Michigan Panthers owner A. Albert Taubman at a lun cheon in 1985 that he considered the USFL an important client. Usher had testified that at that meeting, Arledge had told him that NFL owners didn’t appreciate the risks ABC had taken when it had pro vided the USFL with its original spring contract. Asked by USFL attorney Harvey Myerson if that was true, Arledge noted that he had just testified that ABC had made a profit of more than $25 million for the first two years of its USFL contract. “What I did,” he said, “was re spond to a statement by Mr. Taub man that the USFL owners thought we were trying to drive them out of business. I said we made a great deal of money from the USFL and if you could, tell me any earthly reason why I’d want to drive the USFL out of business. “At the beginning, when we didn’t B centre 0Fhe leagu “It’s a good team toget) ekends, s< bv. 1 think they carry foiwt ^r degree; pi ( I I I lll.il.

An internal auditor’s memoran dum released to the university Mon day discusses problems in document ing gifts made to the athletic depart ment at the University Park campus, the newspaper said. The Chronicle reported earlier this week that the athletic depart ment could not account for the dis position of about $2.5 million in gifts received before August 1984. The newspaper also said the department had only sketchy records of another $500,000 in gifts collected in the 1984-1985 school year. Bill G. Kennedy, director of inter nal auditing for the Houston system administration, released the memo to Peter H. Fitzgerald, vice chancellor for administration of the University Park campus. The memo detailed a series of cor rective actions in financial controls for the athletic department, the Chronicle reported. Kennedy said a review of account ing for the gifts by the athletic depart ment “revealed several weaknesses in the current procedures.” “A major problem is the lack of documentation,” Kennedy wrote. “Once the pledge is recorded, there is Igium, win little or no documentationrs/ure third actual receipt of the donate)j f or services. “Morocco “The records maintained y|| be used to determine balanitf we ^ able or amounts consumer wrote. “The department H> or tugue! had difficulty determiningfe^ ec j t j ]e y even after contacting the dK- In the memo, Kennedy's Morocco v four meetings with athletic fid c U p j ment administrators aboitu'e, and I ing controls since March25. s,” Torre; Earlier, the newspaper2 reat f vered an Open Records rev ; ‘ ost • v1exl Athletic Director Tom Ford/ ing details of acceptance and) tion of gifts to his depart# w Slinv Sensational sol Open 7 p.m. on weekday Conference dates 2 Blocks from campus Church across the street • 2 blocks from stores • 2 blocks from nite life on University.
