Hiring of the assistant is part of UT’s effort to reduce its two-year NCAA football probation from two years to one. Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds said school president William Cun ningham had promised the NCAA infractions committee a person would be hired to handle compli ance and serve as financial adviser to UT athletes. Dodds said he would start inter views soon and hopes to have the new employee workine by Sept. 1. The salary would depend on the employee’s experience, Dodds said. “We’re looking for someone who knows all the NCAA rules, who un derstands compliance and all the pa perwork involved,” Dodds said. “This assistant will have the ability to walk over to the president’s office and say, ‘You’ve got a problem.’” If UT fulfills 13 remedial steps or dered by Cunningham to the satis faction of the NCAA, the NCAA will reduce the school’s football proba tion to just one year. Dodds said the assistant would talk to high school athletes, parents and ex-students to make certain NCAA rules are being followed — in recruiting as well as after the athlete enrolls in the university. Council chairman Tom Morgan said the council wants to head off vi olations before athletes “even come close to violations.” Dodds said the new assistant also would prepare the compliance re view required by the NCAA every five years. UT football coach David McWil liams said he would welcome such an addition to the staff. “If nothing else, it’ll give me a per son to go talk to,” McWilliams said. “Hopefully, it’ll prevent it (abuses that led to the probation sentence) from happening again.” In other action Wednesday, the council voted 9 percent bonuses for baseball and track coaches as a re ward for high finishes in NCAA ward tor high finishes in competitive championships. The baseball team finisht finished third in the College World Series, and the Longhorn track team finished sec ond in the NCAA. its that tl as a player, «“He’s g< 4 fresh mer ebacker ‘Everyb . | ■ >|i las' year. 1 ineligible ! kte w " Perry. this seasofc'- ■iver Dei From Staff and WireRer Bears 198, Four incoming freshmaiH “I think ball players at Texas A&M .go* )( I year ineligible to play this fall I come back they fell short of Eroposi: entrance examination rej ments, Coach Jackie Sherr nounced Wednesday.

(AP) —Dallas Cowboys wide re ceiver Mike Sherrard broke his leg during a scrimmage with the San Diego Chargers Wednesday and apparently is lost to the NFL for the season. team Sherrard, a first-round draft pick in 1986 who caught 48 passes, fell during a passing drill. Team doctors said he had a com pound fractured fibula of the right leg. On the pass pattern, Sherrard stumbled while being pursued by Chargers cornerback Carl Braz- ley. The injury was sustained when his left leg crossed over his right leg. The Cowboys had built their 1987 passing game around the fleet Sherrard and had released wide receiver Tony Hill before camp began. Sherrard was rushed to a nearby hospital after the incident at about 6 p.m. - “It was a very freak, sad thing to happen. It apparently is a se rious fracture,” said club Presi dent Tex Schramm. “Mike said he did it. He said the defensive back kicked his an kle and then he got tangled in his own two legs,” Schramm said. Schramm said Sherrard, a for mer UCLA star probably would not have a chance to play this sea son. “It’s a tremendous loss. Mike was one of the cornerstones of our offense in the off-season pe riod. We had everything built around him,” Schramm said. “We hated to see it happen. He was in his second year with a bright and brilliant future and for it to happen is a crime.” Dallas Coach Tom Landry had predicted before the season be gan that Sherrard would be in the Pro Bowl after this year. “He is a Pro Bowl type of E layer and you could just see him eep getting better,” Landry said before camp.

Carlson, a third-round draft choice from Baylor, passed 40 yards to rookie wide receiver Curtis Dun can and 47 yards to second-year vet eran Ernest Givins for scores. Chuck Banks, a second-year full back, gave Houston its third touch down on a 5-yard run. Rookie quarterback Sammy Garza passed for both of Seattle’s touch downs. Duncan, a lOth-round draft choice from Northwestern, beat vet eran cornerback Kerry Justin for the first touchdown of the 100-play scrimmage. Givins, who starred as a rookie at wide receiver for the Oilers last season with 61 receptions for 1,062 yards, took the ball away from rookie cornerback David Hollis at the goalline for the scrimmage’s sec ond TD. The Seahawks scored their first Cowboys’ Rohrer comes to terms; Noonan only remaining holdout THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — With the return of free spirit line backer Jeff Rohrer, there is only one missing Dallas Cowboy — first- round draft pick Danny Noonan of Nebraska. Holdout Rohrer came to an agreement 10 minutes before mid night Tuesday and got a two-year contract. He’ll make $220,000 the first year and $240,000 the second year. Rohrer, who missed five days of training camp, was fined $5,000. He handled his own negotiations with Joe Bailey, a vice president with the Cowboys. Rohrer, the second-leading tackier on the NFL team in 1986, said “I’m very happy and I just wish it hadn’t come down to all the name calling.” The six-year veteran left camp last Thursday when he found out his $192,000 salary for his option year was less than the money made by Dallas’ other starting linebackers, Eugene Lockhart and Mike Heg- man. He still won’t make as much as they do. “We both have a deal we can live with,” Rohrer said.“I wanted to be here and I wanted to play. I’m ready to hit somebody. We took the bull by the horns, cut out all the stuff, and did the deal.” After Rohrer reported on Thurs day, he was notified he was subject to the “Riggins rule.” It’s a rule for players who report to camp and leave. A player who stays away from camp five days after he first reports is subject to being placed on a reserve roster where he can’t go to any other team in the NFL. “It was sort of a do-or-die situa tion tonight for me and the Cow boys,” Rohrer said late Wednesday. “I wanted to play for the Cowboys. They could nave waived me. I’m glad it worked out. We were mired down in a lot of nonsense.” Pennison confident that he can walk away with starting center position SAN ANGELO (AP) —The Hous ton Oilers have replaced a walkout with a walkon at the starting center position but that’s nothing new for Jay Pennison. Pennison, who became the Oiler starter when Jim Romano walked out of camp last week, has been bat tling football rejection throughout his career. He was a walkon at Nicholls State before he became a 12th-round pick of the USFL Jacksonville Bulls. Pennison was cut by the Bulls and then cut by the Washington Redskins before he re-signed with the Bulls for one season before the league folded. His aggressive approach to the game plus Romano’s angry walkout last week has put Pennison into the starting center job. “In a way it’s a relief, but I don’t want to say there’s no pressure,” Pennison said after Romano’s depar ture. “I still have to go out there and prove that I can handle the job. It’s a different feeling, knowing that I’m the first team guy. It gives me more confidence.” Romano had been a starter for the Oilers since the 10th game of the 1984 season, but his injury gave Pen nison a chance, Oiler Coach Jerry Glanville said. “Unfortunately for Romano, he* had the injury and we found out that someone else could play,” Glanville K YESTERDAYS Daily Drink & Lunch Specials Billiards & Darts Near Luby's / House dress code Battalion Classified 845-2611 CASH for gold, silver, old coins, diamonds Full Jewelry Repair Large Stock of Diamonds Gold Chains TEXAS COIN EXCHANGE 404 University Dr. 846-8916 3202-A Texas Ave. (across from El Chico,Bryan) 779-7662 interceptioi the NFL. jgjfception touchdown after the secondlR nt touchdown pass on a 23-vai from Garza to rookie widen Louis Clark.

Pennison appeared ready to take Romano’s job even if he hadn’t left camp, demanding to be traded. “I don’t think Romano was happy with the way he was playing and I think he saw that Pennison was mak ing the blocks,” Glanville said. Pennison says he’s already feeling right at home in the middle of the line. “I get along real well with the two guards on each side of me, the com munication is real good,” Pennison said. “Last year we had a lot of guys swinging in and out. “This year everything is positive.
