ebraska can use suspended players in opener
He said the NCAA Council Sub
committee On Eligibility Appeals
will consider the university’s appeal
on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Nebraska
Coach Tom Osborne had said his
Cornhuskers, ranked eighth in the
preseason poll, might forfeit their
opener against No. 11 Florida State
because of the suspensions.
A decision Wednesday by the
NCAA Eligibility Committee re
sulted in the suspension of 53 Corn-
husker players for one game and
seven other players for two games.
NCAA spokesman Dave Cawood
said the eligibility committee gave
Nebraska an option of suspending at
least 10 players per game over a
number of games, instead of holding
all the players out of one contest.
The penalties involve about 30 of
Nebraska’s top 40 players, Osborne
said. He said most of the suspended
players had provided complimen
tary passes for people not autho
rized to use them.
He announced the penalties after
practice Wednesday. Osborne said
he was dumbfounded by the penal
ties because Nebraska coaches and
players had been “totally open and
honest” with the NCAA.
Fiancees and friends were identi
fied on pass lists as being family
members and students, said Tom Si
mons, NU associate sports informa
tion director. Under NCAA rules,
family members and students are
the only people allowed to use play
ers’ passes.
NCAA spokesman Jim Marchiony
said Nebraska had declared 77 of its
players ineligible last Friday for vio
lating the complimentary ticket rule.
After hearing an appeal by the
university, Marchiony said, the eligi
bility committee restored eligibility
to 17 of the players and upheld the
suspension of the others.
Under NCAA procedure in such
cases, players are declared ineligible
by their schools and not by the
NCAA. Nebraska did this, then went
to the NCAA for relief.

, Jer of America’s premier tennis event,
said FoT
against No. 7 Helena Sukova of Czechoslova
kia.
On Thursday, Navratilova teamed up with
Pam Shriver to gain the women’s doubles fi
nal with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Graf and Ar
gentina’s Gabriela Sabatini.
fop-seeded in the 64-team doubles draw,
Navratilova and Shriver’s opponents in Sun
day’s final won’t be decided until later. Hana
Mandlikova of Czechoslovakia and Australia’s
Wendy Turnbull defeated Zina Garrison and
Kathy Rinaldi 6-1, 7-6 in a quarterfinal match
that had been postponed by rain Wednesday
night. The winners will meet Elise Burgin
and South Africa’s Rosalyn Fairbank for a
spot in the final.
Mecir continued his mastery over the
Swedes. He defeated second-seeded Mats Wi-
lander in the fourth round. And he did it
with his patient attacking game, waiting for
the right opportunity, then following deep
approach shots to the net for easy volleys.
“I had many chances to break him, but I
lost all of the important points,” Nystrom
said. “It’s tough for me to do anything against
him. My game is not serve and volley. If you
have a good serve-and-volley game, you have
a good chance to beat him.
“From the baseline, you must play the ball
very deep and I hit too many short balls to
day.”
Mecir jumped all over the short balls and
drove them deep into the corners, either for
winners or setting up his volleys.
The bearded Mecir broke Nystrom’s serve
at love in the fifth game of the match. And
when he lost his service in the eighth game,
he broke right back to capture the first set.
With Vice President Bush among the
crowd at the National Tennis Center, Mecir
broke Nystrom’s service at 30 to begin the sec
ond set. After he broke again in the seventh
game, he then held to take a 2-0 lead in the
best-of-five-sets match.
Nystrom delayed the inevitable when he
took the third set, pulling off the only service
break in the fourth game. But on a day that
saw the match delayed twice by brief showers,
it was all Mecir.
After the two held through the first four
games of the fourth set, Mecir took the next
four games to clinch the victory and a semifi
nal berth.
Becker, seeded third in the 128-player
men’s singles field, had no problems with his
6-foot-8 opponent, who was booed repeatedly
for his uninspired effort. Srejber, the tallest
player in professional tennis, repeatedly let
Becker’s passing shots sail by without even
lifting his racket or attempting to try for the
ball.
It is the third time the 18-year-old Becker
has reached the final of a Grand Slam tourna
ment. And he won the first two — Wimble
don last year and again this year.

Tribble says he didn’t anticipate Bias’ death
WASHINGTON (AP) — Brian
Tribble, indicted in connection with
the cocaine death of University of
Maryland basketball star Len Bias,
said in a published report he did not
think his friend would die when he
collapsed in a dormitory room in
June.
“I was waiting for him to get up,”
Tribble said. “I knew he was going to
get up.
“The only reason why he didn’t
get up is we didn’t know what we
were doing. We knew CPR, but we
didn’t have the equipment,” Tribble
v pi
Thursday’s editions of The Wash
ington Post.
Tribble, during the interview at
his family home in Washington, said
he followed the ambulance that took
Bias to Leland Memorial Hospital in
Riverdale, Md., but left when he was
told Bias still had a faint heartbeat.
Bias was declared dead at the hospi
tal.
“I was sure that I wasn’t in trou
ble,” Tribble said. “I didn’t think I
was going to be in any trouble, ljust
was trying to make sure he (Bias)
didn’t get in any trouble. I didn’t
want nobody to know.”
Tribble did not elaborate, the Post
story said.
Tribble, a former University of
Maryland student who describes
himself as one of Bias’ closest
friends, was indicted on July 25 by a
Prince George’s County grand jury
on charges of possession of PCP,
possession and distribution of co
caine and possession with intent to
distribute cocaine in connection with
the death of Bias.
Tribble, speaking about his
relationship with Bias for the first
time since he was indicted, declined ,
to discuss the events in the early-^
morning hours of June 19 that led to*
the death of Bias, a 22-year-old all-^
American forward. He also would >
not say whether his friendship with!*
Bias involved drugs.
But Tribble told the Post he is still
shocked by Bias’ death, confused by "
the publicity that made him feel like^
a hunted man and determined to£
save his memories of June 19 for his »
own defense. A trial is tentatively >.
scheduled to start on Nov. 1 7.
