KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Col
lege players who get involved in
Fights during games next season will
risk losing their eligibility for the rest
of the season under get-tough mea
sures announced Wednesday.
“We’re interested in minimizing
the ugly scenes. One ugly scene is
too many as far as I’m concerned,”
Ed Steitz, secretary-editor of the
NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Com
mittee said at a news conference.
“We cannot afford to let anything
mar this great game of college bas
ketball.”
Steitz said following the commit
tee’s two-day meeting that players
suspended for “being involved in
Fighting” would have no way to ap
peal.
Fights made headlines through
out the past season. There were
none during the NCAA Tourna
ment, after NCAA Executive Direc
tor Dick Schultz warned that any
player fighting would be suspended
for the rest of the tournament.
The policy announced Wednes
day specifies that a player involved
in a Fight will be ejected from the
game and placed on probation.
“The second time that individual
is involved in a fight during the sea
son, he will be ejected from the game
and suspended from participation in
his team’s next game,” Steitz said.
“If that player is involved in a
third fight during the season, he will
be suspended for the remainder of
the season. If available, and deemed
necessary, television monitors may
be used to determine those individu
als involved in a fight,” he said.
Steitz also said any bench person
nel other than the head coach who
enters the court during a Fight is
subject to disqualification for the re
mainder of a game.
“We’ve got to knock this Fighting
oFf. I don’t think we’ve pushed the
panic button,” Steitz said. “I think
we have to have machinery in place
to serve as a deterrent.”
Some coaches immediately raised
questions about the new rule.
“I would like to see an appeal
available,” said Gary Williams of
Ohio State.
“This is a lot different than a trav
eling call, or maybe a fifth foul called
on the wrong player. Those are a
part of basketball. But this is not. I
just want it to be just. If a mistake is
made, it should be correctible.”
Lon Kruger of Kansas State said,
“I think anything we can do to mini
mize the number of occasions that
are not healthy for the game is good
for the game. And I think putting a
rule in place would be a move in that
direction.”
But Kruger also saw the possibility
of problems arising.
“There would be a need to define
what constitutes a fight so we can be
consistent with enforcement. Does a
shove one game get the same thing
as an all out fisticuff in the next?” he
asked.
Remarks’ final results
positive — Campanis
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Looking
back over the past year, A1 Campanis
said the outgrowth of his remarks on
blacks in baseball has been positive
for him and for the game.
“Time has diffused the immediate
hurt of April 6,” he said. “It has
turned out to be a plus for baseball
and myself.”
A year ago, Campanis sat alone in
a chair near home plate in Houston’s
Astrodome and faced a television
camera. Wearing an earphone, he
fielded questions from Ted Koppel
in New York, on ABC’s “Nightline.”
Responding to Koppel’s questions,
Campanis ^aid that ,blacks “may not
have some qf the necessities” to be
baseball managers and general man
agers.
Groups such as the NAACP and
the Urban League insisted that the
Dodgers sever their tie with Cam
panis. Many of the nation’s promi
nent blacks commented on his re
marks.
Campanis said he was only trying
to say that blacks had turned down
opportunities to manage in the mi
nors, so they lacked the experience
for major league jobs. His remarks
he said, were mistakes in semantics.
Within a few days, Campanis was
fired by Dodger owner Peter O’Mal
ley.
Baseball Commissioner Peter Ue
berroth, who already had dedicated
the season to Jackie Robinson and
expressed concern over the lack of
minorities in baseball management,
hired a consulting firm to work with
major league clubs on affirmative ac
tion programs.
Campanis has been helping de
velop the pool and has also helped to
set up baseball management clinics
for minorities. The former Dodger
executive spoke recently to some stu
dents at Cal-Berkeley.
“I concluded my speech by telling
them that if losing my job with the
Dodgers has helped blacks. I’m
happy it happened,” Campanis said.
“It was a shock at the time, but if I
contributed to increased employ
ment of minorities, I feel it was
worthwhile.”
Nicklaus to rest of field:
‘Look out for me this week’
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — “Look
out for me this week,” Jack Nicklaus
said.
Nicklaus smiled when he said it,
but Greg Norman was not sure he
was kidding.
“He’s playing well. And he’s
added about 30 yards with that new
metal-wood driver,” Norman said
after a practice session for the 52nd
Masters which begins Thursday.
“It’s given him a lot more confi
dence, and that’s really all he needs,”
Norman said.
But despite the presence of Nick
laus and the younger members of
the American tour, Australian Nor
man and two other foreign stars
command the most attention going
into golFs first major tournament of
the spring.
“It’s there to be done, isn’t it?”
said Sandy Lyle of Scotland, the for
mer British Open champion who en
hanced his standing last week with
his second victory of the season on
the American tour, which made him
the year’s leading money-winner.
“I’m ready,” was the terse com
ment of Spaniard Seve Ballesteros,
who has won twice and come close so
many other times.
“Seve is playing very well,” said
Norman. “You can’t look past him to
find a favorite.
“He’s won before. And he’s lost
before. That’s almost as important as
winning,” Norman said.

Fiscal fitness.
The best thing about Plantation Oaks isn’t the
$10/month membership to Aerofit. Or the on-site
facilities like jacuzzi, two pools, men’s and
women’s weight rooms (each with a sauna), tennis
courts, basketball and volleyball courts. The best
thing about Plantation Oaks is that you get all this
and more for as little as $170 a month this
summer. That’s fiscal fitness.
