SMU interim President William B. Stallcup Jr., who made the an nouncement, said searches for the positions of head football coach and athletics director had not yet started. “Prior to moving on these searches, I intend to be in discussion with several university groups con cerning our needs and interests in these areas,” Stallcup in a prepared statement said. Hitch and head football coach Bobby Collins resigned last week amid allegations that football players may have violated National Colle giate Athletic Association rules. Parker has served since 1983 as senior associate athletics director. He has been with the SMU athletics department since 1960. “We are indeed grateful to Dud ley Parker for his willingness to serve the university in this difficult time as acting director of athletics,” Stallcup said. “His knowledge of intercollegiate athletics, his long experience here and the respect and confidence he Parker came to SMU inlStil assistant football coach i^l served in a variety of coach! administrative positions.

New York takes steps to recover from slump Starter cut in team shake-up EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Coach Joe Walton has sent a graphic message to his New York Jets, who have plummeted in three weeks from a team with the NFL’s best record to one struggling to make the playoffs. “If it’s not working, we ought to try to fix it,” he said. So try he did, cutting one starter and demoting another as the Jets, who have lost three straight after a 10-1 start, prepared to play the Pitts burgh Steelers at Giants Stadium Saturday. Despite the losing skein, in which New York has been outscored 86-16, New York remains in good position for the playoffs. A win Saturday and they clinch a wild-card spot, take a half-game lead over New England in the AFC East and remain in the running for the home-field field advantage in the playoffs — their 10-4 record puts them in a four-way tie for the AFC’s best reoerd. ton also announced that starting fullback Tony Paige will be replaced by rookie Nuu Faaola to add more running to an offense that has sud denly stalled. But it was the release of Jackson that got the attention. “I don’t think he would sacrifice someone like that just for shock ef fect, but there’s no question he got shock effect," defensive tackle Barry Bennett said. “If they cleared out about eight reporters from your newspap>er, it would get your attention wouldn’t it?” asked Bob Crable, who is lieing moved from right inside linebacker to repilace Jackson while free agent Kevin McArthur moves into his spot. The main victim of Walton’s sha- keup was Charles Jackson, a starter in all 14 games at left outside line backer, who was cut along with re serve defensive end Elvis Franks, picked up just two weeks ago. Wal- “It’s meant to get your attention. If it succeeds, great. We’ll go from there.” The game brings together two teams whose fortunes have change considerably in the course of the sea son. The Steelers are just 5-9 but have won four of their last seven. One of those losses was a 13-10 defeat by Super Bowl champion Chicago and another was an overtime loss to Cleveland, which leads the AFC Central with a 10-4 record.
