CAA, SWC claim investigations are difficult with media probes ’:259:«! I Acrw*fs*i orMUtk* ITA AUS TIN (AP) — Officials of the NlCAA and Southwest Conference testified in federal court Thursday ■hat news reports of alleged viola- ■ions in college athletics makes it ■nore difficult to get the facts. I Representatives of the organiza- ■ions said certain records must re main confidential or potential wit- iiesses will dry up and enforcement programs will falter. “If enforcement files are made bublic, it will render our enforce- pent program ineffective,” said Da- lid Berst, NCAA enforcement direc- ior. Dutch Baughman, associate SWC ommissioner, was asked what effect “breach in confidentiality” would lave. “It would really slam the door jn what we’re trying to do,” he re- [plied. Berst and Baughman testified in a leafing before U.S. District Judge ianies Nowlin, who ruled in May Ithai the National Collegiate Athletic |\ssociation and the SWC are subject io the Texas Open Records Act. Acting on a suit filed by The Dal las Morning News, the Dallas Times Herald and Belo Broadcasting, Nowlin ruled that the NCAA and SWC must turn over information obtained in investigations of SWC football programs. Berst told reporters the records have been delivered to Nowdin, who has not released them. Nowlin, in fact, said many of the records “quite clearly are excluded” from the Open Records Act, and he added, “It has not been established by this court whether” the NCAA or SWC “are going to be required to re lease anything.” The NCAA at Thursday’s hearing sought to convince the judge that in addition to hurting enforcement programs, release of the records would in some cases be an invasion of privacy. Asked about the effect of publicity on NCAA investigations, Berst testi fied that it “hampers our ability to get to the facts of the matter.” Berst said published reports had “hamstrung” the investigation of Kentucky’s basketball program and also a probe in Chicago of an earlier comment by Notre Dame basketball coach Digger Phelps that the “going rate” for a college player was 110,000. He said most people interviewed by the NCAA insisted on confiden tiality, and he was asked if anyone ever tried to get him to release confi dential information. “It’s almost a daily occurrence among media representatives,” Berst replied. ' Asked during a court recess if players and others tended to “clam up” as a result of news media re ports, Berst said, “Yes, and I antic ipate the trend will continue.” He was also asked if such reports had put a stop to investigations of SWC schools, and he replied, “Not yet, no.” B-CS to host baseball tournament By Jean Lennox and Patricia Dearman Reporters The stands still ring with cheering crowds, and the bench warmers still warm the bench, pitchers are still sweating it out in the bullpen and the bat boys remain hard at work even though the collegiate baseball season is over. Texas A&M players Todd Over- bergen and David Jones and former Aggies Kelly Keahey and Gary West- erlage and other college players are suiting up for the Bryan-College Sta tion Cardinals in this week’s South Texas State Baseball Tournament sponsored by the National Baseball Congress. Bryan-College Station is hosting the 16-team double-elimination am ateur tournament which will last through Sunday. Games will be played at both Ti ger Field in College Station and Tra vis Field in Bryan. First games will begin at 11 a.m., and five to six games will be played daily. Julian McMurray, business man ager for the Cardinals, said the Texas regional tournaments began ’ in mid-June. McMurray said the state is divided into four regions, and two tourna ments will be played, one in Austin and one in Bryan-College Station. In August, the winners of the two ama teur tournaments will participate in the World Series in Wichita, Kan. Jim Joyce of Bryan, who has played with the Cardinals four years, said Jerry Miller founded the team in 1979 to give college players a chance to continue their training through the summer. Miller is now coaching a minor league team in Mi ami. “Eighty percent of the Cardinals last year were A&M baseball play ers,” Joyce said. “A&M Baseball Coach Mark Johnson sent some of the players to other leagues around the nation this summer. A few of the leagues are in Kansas, Cape Cod, and Alaska.” Many of the amateur players eventually play for professional teams, he said, but the Cardinals and other summer league teams are not semi-professional teams. McMurray said the public is weT come to come and watch. Tickets are available at the gate, and cost $2 for adults for the first game and $1 for every game after. Children under 12 are free. :25 9:45 Major League Baseball AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division East Division W L Pet. GB W L Pet.

Scott, 10-6, pitched seven innings and gave up five hits. He raised his strikeout total to 187. Shane Rawley, 11-7, took the loss as Philadelphia’s four-game winning streak ended. After Ashby hit his fourth homer, Scott doubled with one out and Bill Doran walked. With two outs, Raw- ley walked Davey Lopes and Glenn Davis, forcing home a run. Bass’ sin gle made it 4-0 and Garner followed with his two-run double. Ashby walked and Rawley was re placed by Tom Hume, who threw a wild pitch. Thon’s two-run double capped the inning. Ashby added an RBI single in the seventh. The Phillies scored twice in the sixth on consecutive doubles by Gary Redus and Jeff Stone and an RBI single by Von Hayes. John Russell led off the ninth with his eighth homer.
