)ull says Bias death hastened decision
w
Maryland athletic director resigns
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) —
ick Dull resigned as athletic direc-
ir of the University of Maryland
uesday, the first casualty of the
iinpus upheaval following the co-
ine-induced death of basketball
nr Len Bias.
While contending he had been
niemplating resigning for as long
two years, Dull conceded that the
lasincident and the resulting in
stigations accelerated his decision.
He will serve Chancellor John B.
lighter for a year as an adviser on
jjletic and policy program issues
[ter stepping aside on Nov. 1.
Charles F. Sturtz, vice chancellor
for administrative affairs, will serve
on an interim basis, Slaughter said,
while a national search is conducted
for a permanent replacement.
Slaughter announced the resigna
tion at a news conference, but he de
clined to discuss the status of basket
ball coach Lefty Driesell.
“That is not an appropriate ques
tion today,” Slaughter said. “I’m not
going to enter into speculation and
conjecture on that issue.”
Driesell was reported out of town
on a basketball recruiting trip, and
was not available for comment.
Dull, 41, in his sixth year as ath
letic director, has publicly supported
Driesell in the wake of charges
against his program by Prince
George’s County prosecutor Arthur
A. Marshall.
Marshall criticized the team’s aca
demic performance after the grand
jury voted against an obstruction of
justice indictment he sought against
Driesell for allegedly seeking to have
Bias’ dormitory room cleaned soon
after he collapsed.
“The university had given Lefty a
vote of confidence before Len Bias
died, and it was fully aware of the
academic problems,” Dull said last
month. “I don’t see why he shouldn’t
be given one now.”
Slaughter said major changes in
the athletic department were up
coming, but he reiterated that he
would not address them until he re
ceives all the information he seeks.
A report from an academic task
force Slaughter created will be made
public on Friday. But he still awaits
the grand jury report and an in-
house investigation of Driesell he
initiated recently.

IRVING AP) — The way Coach
ibby Collins sees it, the NCAA
jnctions that swept away all of
uthern Methodist’s new football
Jiolarships this fall have made their
st impact on the Mustangs.
The most disappointing thing is
especial teams,” Collins said after
e Mustangs held on for a 31-29
n Saturday night against Boston
liege.
Collins said that the missing 25
tiolarships have cut down the
imber of potential specialists on
kickoff and punting teams.
“Most schools have 95 scholarship
lyers,” he said. “We have 70.”

1 he no-scholarships penalty is
part of some of the toughest NCAA
sanctions ever handed down for re
cruiting violations. The Mustangs
also are barred this season from live
telecasts, bowl games and from com
peting for the Southwest Confer
ence championship.
An 85-yard punt return for a
touchdown by the Eagles’ Kelvin
Martin, followed by Martin’s recep
tion of a two-point conversion pass
nearly swiped the win from the Mus
tangs. Ahead 31-14 in the fourth
quarter, Martin started the
comeback by catching a 32-yard
scoring pass.
But SMU engineered a drive that
ran out the clock.
“You can’t make it much closer
than this,” Collins said. “We have
them down, but let it slip away
with . . . the punt return. I was really
proud of the way the offense never
gave them the ball.”
Boston College Coach Jack Bick-
nell said the punt to the speedy Mar
tin was unexpected.
“I’m shocked that they punted the
ball to Kelvin Martin,” he said. “I
thought they would try and punt it
out of bounds, because Kelvin al
most broke the last one (before the
85-yard TD return).”
Collins said special teams would
be a prime concern as the Mustangs
prepare to face Baylor in Waco on
Saturday.
“We can’t expect to give away re
turns like that and win,” he said.
Jeff Atkins rushed for three
touchdowns and 129 yards on 32
carries, the third time he has run for
at least 100 yards this season.
Collins isn’t ready to make any
predictions concerning who is the
toughest conference opponent
awaiting the Mustangs, now 3-1.
“Baylor is the toughest because we
play them right now, next week,” he
said.

argent, Joiner break NFL receiving records
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle
ahawks are 4-1, the San Diego
krgers are 1-4, and Steve Largent
d Charlie Joiner have NFL. re-
ids.
“1 hope the fact that I have estab-
hed the record is not going to be
e most important contribution I
ake to my football team,” Largent
d.
“Charlie’s record was the only
Kid thing to come out of the
IfjijJ me," said San Diego Coach Don
f 0 , iryell. “I know Charlie would
ther have had a win.”
It won’t get any easier for the
largers, either.
A 33-7 loser to the Seahawks
Monday night, San Diego will be at
home Sunday against 5-0 Denver,
American Football Conference West
leader.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks will be
in Los Angeles Sunday to face the
defending division champion Raid
ers, who have won two straight after
losing their first three games.
Largent, 32, and the 38-year-old
Joiner set their records on a night
when the Seahawks came on strong
in the second half to overcome a 7-6
halftime deficit.
Largent caught a pass for the
128th straight regular season game
while Joiner, in his 18th pro season,
became the NFL’s all-time leader in
receiving yards with 1 1,855, surpas
sing by 21 yards the record held by
Don Maynard, who played for the
New York Jets.
Joiner, the second oldest player in
the league, now has 728 career
catches, also an NFL record.
Largent broke the record set by
Harold Carmichael, who caught
passes in 127 consecutive regular
season games with Philadelphia
from 1972-80. Carmichael was at the
game and took part in a brief on
field ceremony after Largent’s re
cord catch at 4:16 of the second
quarter.

j™ IRVING (AP) — Noting his Dallas
1 wboys have picked the wrong
1 ne to get banged up, Coach Tom
indry said Tuesday that defensive
Lie Don Smerek will be activated
r Sunday’s NFL game against the
ashington Redskins and backup
larterback Steve Pelluer probably
ill start.
Smerek, who hasn’t played this
:ar because of a severely sprained
ice, will start in Randy White's po-
ion should the All-Pro’s hamstring
[illfail to respond.
“Randy doesn’t have a defect in
le hamstring pull and could be re-
to go on Sunday,” Landry said.
|t'e worked Smerek in pads last
Keek but he was very rusty. It could
ike him a while to get into w
'me."
Quarterback Danny White has a
pulled groin muscle that caused him
to miss Sunday’s 29-14 loss to
Denver.
“We just don’t know Danny’s sta
tus,” Landry said. “He has trouble
just setting up to throw a pass. We’ll
work w ith Pelluer. He did a remark
able job against Denver. He’ll be bet
ter this week and shouldn’t have
many problems against Washing
ton.”
Running back Tony Dorsett, who
didn’t play against the Broncos be
cause of a sprained knee and ankle
on the same leg, will put on a knee
brace in practice this week.
“It’s not an ideal circumstance to
be playing an unbeaten team with-
out youv starting quarterback and
tailback,” Landry said.
