DALLAS (AP) — Southern Meth
odist University officials are ex-
ected to be summoned before the
CAA Feb. 13-16 in San Diego for a
hearing to decide the fate of the
school’s football program, according
to the school’s faculty representative.
Lonnie Kliever said Monday night
he expects school officials will be
told they will appear before the
NCAA Committee on Infractions
meeting in San Diego.
but he said university officials would
be notified of the decision Tuesday.
SMU officials declined comment
to the Associated Press on Tuesday.
SMU officials have postponed hir
ing a football coach and athletic di
rector while waiting for the commit
tee to rule on allegations against the
school.
“Our expectations have been all
along that we would be in San
Diego,” he said. “I’m certainly opti
mistic that we will be appearing be
fore the infractions committee and
that’s what we’ve wanted all along.
It’s been a long, difficult and ardu
ous business, but it has been well
worthwhile.”
NCAA enforcement director Da
vid Berst said he couldn’t confirm
SMU will get a hearing in San Diego,
Berst said last week he did not
know if investigators could complete
the case in time for presentation in
San Diego.
If the case were not completed in
time for the San Diego hearing, it
would have to be heard at committee
hearings scheduled for April 11-12
in Kansas City, Mo., or April 22-24
in Hilton Head, S.C.
The investigation into SMU’s
football program began after former
linebacker David Stanley said he re
ceived $25,000 to sign a national let
ter of intent with SMU and was paid

triple double this season and
Mike Evans scored the go-ahead
E oints with 17 seconds to play to
:ad the Nuggets to a 107-105
NBA victory over Houston Tues
day night.
The Rockets played most of
the game without forward Ralph
Sampson who suffered a knee in
jury in the first quarter.
Team doctors said Sampson
may have suffered torn cartilage
in his left knee.
Lever scored 26 points,
grabbed 14 rebounds and had 11
assists as the Nuggets rallied from
a 10-point deficit late in the third
quarter.
Akeem Olajuwon led the Rock
ets with 25 points and 14 re

19 in relief of Sampson.
Robert Reid’s basket with 33
seconds to play tied the game at
103-103 for the final time but
Evan’s two free throws with 17
seconds to go put the Nuggets
ahead to stay.
Olajuwon, burdened with
three fouls, played only 10 min
utes of the first half but led the
Rockets third quarter charge with
13 third-quarter points and an
84-76 lead going into the fourth
period.
Sampson out of action
for at least six weeks
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
Rockets forward Ralph Sampson
suffered a knee injury in Tuesday
night’s 107-105 loss to the Denver
Nuggets and will be out six weeks,
meaning he will.miss the NBA all-
star game.
“Ralph will be out for from six
weeks to the end of the season,”
Rockets Coach Bill Fitch said.
“Hopefully, it won’t take him out
the whole season.”
Sampson had earned a starting
spot on the NBA Western Divi
sion All-Star team that will play
the East All-Stars Sunday in
Seattle.
Sampson was out earlier this
season with an ankle injury.
He fell to the floor with six
minutes to go in the first quarter
Tuesday and had to be helped
from the court.
He returned for the start of the
second quarter with a brace on his
ailing left knee but he played only
briefly and then left the game for
good.
“The only thing we have to do
is go out and play a perfect game
Thursday,” Fitch said. “We have
to get this monkey off our backs.
We have to win our first game
without Ralph Sampson.”
The Rockets already had lost
two key players this season.
Guards Lewis Lloyd and Mitchell
Wiggins were dismissed from the
team Jan. 13 for using cocaine.
Sampson missed 11 of Hous
ton’s first 13 games this season
with two sprained ankles.
$750 a month while playing for the
school.
Stanley also said he was paid after
SMU was placed on probation in Au
gust 1985 for recruiting violations.
The football program could be
suspended for up to two years if the
school is found guilty of additional
violations.
NCAA officials also are investigat
ing a report that senior tight end Al
bert Reese was supplied a rent-free
apartment by an SMU booster
banned from associating with the
football program.
Berst said SMU officials cooper
ated with the NCAA to try to get the
investigation completed in time.
“This was our joint investigation
that we committed our full cooper
ation with the NCAA,” Kliever said.
“It has been entirely an amiable and
cooperative venture. There has been
a lot of communication between the
university and the NCAA.”

Golden State
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Artis
Gilmore scored 24 points and pulled
down 18 rebounds to lead the San
Antonio Spurs to a 111-103 win over
the Golden State Warriors Tuesday
night in NBA action.
The victory is the sixth in a row
for San Antonio and lifts its record
to 17-29. The loss snaps Golden
State’s three-game winning streak
and drops them to 25-23.
Gilmore was nearly matched on
both ends of the court by Spur for
ward David Greenwood as the
seven-year veteran from UCLA
scored 18 points, 10 in the fourth
period, and pulled down a career-
high 23 rebounds.
In the fourth period, Golden
State pulled within four, 83-79, but
the Spurs’ Alvin Robertson sank a
layup and a free throw to give the
Spurs an 86-79 lead.
The Spurs, led by Greenwood’s
fourth period charge, controlled the
game from there as Golden State
could get no closer than six points.
Terry Teagle led Golden State
with 21, and Eric “Sleepy” Floyd and
Purvis Short had 19 each.
John Sundvold added 17 for San
Antonio, and Walter Berry and Al
vin Robinson 16 each as the Spurs
put six players in double figures.
The Spurs raced to a 32-19 lead
after one period before the War
riors, led by Floyd with eight points
in the second period, chipped away
at the lead, cutting it to 55-50 at the
half.
Robertson, the Spurs’ defensive
standout, will start at guard for the
West in the All-Star game Feb. 8.
