(AP) — A Prince George’s County circuit judge Monday dismissed charges against two men and scheduled trial for a third in connection with the co caine-induced death of University of Maryland basketball star Len Bias. Judge James Rea, at the request of state attorney Arthur Marshall, dis missed possession of cocaine and ob struction of justice charges against David Gregg and Terry Long, who were with Bias when he died of co caine intoxication June 19. But the judge refused to dismiss the case against Brian Lee Tribble, who also was with Bias the morning he collapsed in a college dormitory room. The judj^e set Nov. 17 as the trial date for Tribble. Tribble is accused of supplying Bias with the cocaine that killed him and is charged with possession of co caine, possession with intent to dis tribute cocaine, distribution of co caine and possession of PCP. After tne charges against Long and Gregg were dropped, Tribble’s attorney, Thomas Morrow, asked for dismissal of charges against his client because of “unfair, prejudicial publicity” generated by Marshall, who Morrow claimed almost daily talked to reporters about the grand jury proceeaings. ft.ea denied the motion, saying, "Even if there was some judicial prosecutorial abuse, it is not enough to reach a level that an indictment should be dropped." Long and Gregg are expected to testify in Tribble’s trial, but both Marsnall and their lawyer, Alan Goldstein, denied that charges were dropped against them as part of a plea bargain. After the hearing, Goldstein said there had been 'Vio agreement," even though he and his clients had a long discussion with Marshall last Thursday, just hours before the players broke months of silence and testified before the grand jury. Tribble, Gregg and Long were with Bias when the top draft choice of the NBA’s Boston Celtics col lapsed after ingesting an unusually pure form of cocaine. Tribble called for an ambulance from the dormi tory room about 6:30 that morning.

Marshall said two years ago when the council considered the question, the medical evidence strongly indi cated there were physical differ ences great enough to prohibit girls from playing junior high school football. “Now then, since that time there has been some change at that age level as regards to tience," he said. "I realize there arepracucaip lems. However, considering al tors — safety, cost, inconwn and legal considerations —Ire: mend we delete that sectio would allow only bovs to olat v high football.
