I “This is the most important meet we have leading up
tb the World Championships,” said Louganis, who has
won a pair of gold medals in each of the last three Fes-
t vals. He’s been just as dominant on the world scene,
with three world championship's. In all, Louganis holds
â– 8 national titles.
I The top two finishers in the diving here, which be-
Kns on Wednesday with preliminaries in springboard,
qualify for the world meet in Madrid next month.
The Festival begins today with compulsories in fig-
|ue skating and synchronized swimming, followed by
Opening ceremonies at the Astrodome in the evening.

An estimated 4,000 athletes in 34 sports are ex
pected to compete here and organizers say they expect
i meet the break-even mark of 350,000 in ticket sales.

CAA, SWC claim investigations
are difficult with media probes

AUS TIN (AP) — Officials of the
NlCAA and Southwest Conference
testified in federal court Thursday
â– hat news reports of alleged viola-
â– ions in college athletics makes it
â– nore difficult to get the facts.
I Representatives of the organiza-
â– 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.

Astros red hot in 9-3
destruction of Phillies
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mike
Scott, the major-league strikeout
leader, fanned a career-high 13 bat
ters and Kevin Bass went 5-for-5, in
cluding a two-run single during an
eight-run third inning as Houston
Astros won their seventh straight
game, a 9-3 victory Thursday over
the Philadelphia Phillies.
Alan Ashby’s leadoff homer
sparked the third-inning uprising,
and Phil Garner and Dickie Thon
added two-run doubles. Bass singled
five times for his first career five-hit
game.
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.
