Our hdpeis to move, probably in three to four years, to a six-, seven- or eight- sc|ool conference,” she said, ^lembers of the new conference so far are St. Edward’s, Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, St. Miry’s University in San Antonio, Blxas Lutheran College in Seguin and the University of Mary Hardin- Ba\ lor in Belton. Bfour of the schools — all but In- Inate Word — have been mem- be s of the Big State conference. Two Big State schools won’t be join- in ;the new league, East Texas Bap- tis in Marshall and Huston-Tillot- so 1 in Austin, Hayes said. I fA three-sport conference for m m and a three-sport conference fol women simply wasn’t serving the net Is of that (larger) student body,” shlsaid. Hayes said the men’s sports ini- Hv offered will be basketball, ten nis. soccer and baseball. The wom en’ sports will be basketball, tennis, ^Heyball and softball. ^Kach school will be allowed to of- j fe|44 athletic scholarships — 24 for ^■n and 20 for women, Hayes said. Hn the men’s sports, the schol- arihip ranges are 10 to 13 in basket- ■1, rive to eight in baseball, one to thjee in soccer and up to two in ten- ni|. The women’s ranges are six to nile in basketball, four to seven in Heyball, two to four in softball and up to two in tennis. ■‘We think that the notion of ralges is something that gives each sclnol some flexibility and yet en- * sures that the competition will be a safisfying and equitable one,” Hayes ; said HIS -bott Kicfceb thc LSOTibezs Anb TH«r teeHAjuwfft tH^weo e>Ft= tsy -nAcKie, t>e«.it>6’S Tto turn xwe- tabus on Nocm tfxas AmC> PEoMPn-y btsposei* cp rwe c,eeew sune Stf, ms coNPibeMc-e" IZeST6K.ev>j Pe RmjtBNs -t^ his <?>oesr rae coTTaw... Mb f/nm His WAy BA(e/set> sy the ^OOTHSRn THIS BIRD "B E TB BEA-Tj I4SG New NCAA drug-test plan will be implemented soon WASHINGTON (AP) —The Na tional Collegiate Athletic Association announced details Wednesday of a sweeping drug-testing program and said it will screen athletes who partic ipate in this season’s college football bowl games and the 64-team college basketball tournament. NCAA Executive Director Walter Byers called the plan “the most com prehensive and reliable program of any organization in the United States,” saying he hopes it eventually will deter drug abuse on college and high school campuses across the country. The program will cost about $950,000 to implement in its first year, and the NCAA will contribute $2 million to laboratories that will expand its testing efforts, Byers said. At the same time, the NCAA will spend $430,000 on a drug-education program that will send videotapes and other materials to schools and youth groups. The drug testing will screen ath letes for dozens of substances, in cluding illegal drugs such as cocaine and marijuana, along with steroids, extensive amounts of caffeine and other stimulants, Bytrs said at a press conference. Byers said urine samples might be taken both before and after games, and if an athlete tests positive for any of the substances, most of which are not controlled under criminal laws, he or she would be declared in eligible. If the test comes after a championship game, a winning team with an athlete testing positive would forfeit the game, he said. The NCAA will not publicly dis close the names of athletes found to test positive. The testing will include virtually all NCAA-sanctioned intercollegiate sports, including football, basketball, baseball, golf, track, gymnastics, ski ing, tennis, rifle competition and others, Byers said. The NCAA will not test athletes during the regular seasons, but only during championship competition. The program will begin in Novem ber, perhaps with the cross country championships. “It’s a leadership program, but I think its impact will be felt through out the NCAA member institutions,” Byers said. Ruth Berkey, an assistant NCAA executive director, said that about 90 universities and colleges had their own drug testing programs, a num ber that likely has increased since the cocaine intoxication death of Uni versity of Maryland basketball star Len Bias in June. Byers said the tests will be super vised by laboratories at the UCLA Medical Center and the National In stitute for Scientific Research at the University of Quebec in Montreal, which both have worked with the In ternational Olympic Committee.

Jose Cruz singled and Alan Ashby walked with one out in the fourth and third baseman Bob Brenly’s fielding error on Ryan’s grounder allowed Cruz to score the first run.

Doran singled in the fifth and scored on Bass’ double to the left- field corner. LaCoss then walked Doran and then sent him from first to third on a wild pitch.
