■AUSTIN (AP) — Five Central
Tlxas colleges announced Wednes-
da\ that they have formed a new
atliletic conference, with competi
tion set to begin next fall.
■The new Heart of Texas Athletic
Conference will sponsor four sports
foi men and four for women, said
Patricia Hayes, president of St. Ed
ward’s University in Austin.
■1 think I have spoken with almost
all the independent colleges in
llxas as a part of this process. 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

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.
