UIL mulls non-public school recruiting
AUSTIN (AP) — A University In
terscholastic League committee in
structed the UIL staff Wednesday to
check into a superintendent’s com
plaint that non-public schools are re
cruiting players from public school
athletic teams.
The UIL Athletics Committee
also recommended a study of a pro
posal to create a state-wide grading
system for high school basketball of
ficials, and directed the staff to re
view the soccer season to see if it con
flicts with other sports seasons.
Dr. Richard Gott, superintendent
of the rural Chilton Independent
School District, had complained that
a non-public school was “raiding”
the Chilton athletic program, and
suggested a statewide boycott of ath
letic competition between UIL
schools and schools that are not
members of the UIL.
“Non-UIL schools are recruiting
superior student-athletes from UIL
schools,” Gott wrote in his request
for a boycott. “Schools that operate
under the rules and guidelines of
the UIL are at a distinct advantage
with non-UIL schools because they
are unable to match the monetary
incentives to amateur athletes.”
UIL Athletic Director Bill Farney
said non-public schools “are actively
recruiting” athletes from public
schools, often after getting a firs
thand look at the athletes in compe
tition between the schools.
One possible advantage non-pub
lic schools have, Farney said, is that
they do not have restrictions on the
number of games they may play.
A proposal to push back the start
ing date for soccer practice triggered
the request for the staff to survey
UIL member schools about how soc
cer fits in to the overall athletic sea
sons.
The committee recommended
that the Legislative Council remove
a restriction that only seven players
from a school soccer team may play
on a non-school soccer team. It ten
tatively approved a proposal to re
quire the use of an official clock and
timer, when available, at soccer
matches.
The Legislative Council meets
Oct. 15-16.
It directed a similar survey on a
proposal by theForf Worth
Telegram to sponsor, at a cos
$276,000 per year, all five
state high school football chamf
ships at a common site.
T he committee agreed thata
paper officials should repeal!

council in October.
The committee rejected prop
that would:
• Replace the girls’ 800-mat
lay with a 3,200-meter relay.
• Authorize student-athlete
miss school to make official coa
recruiting visits.
• Allow tennis teams to to
dual match the same week asj :

McEnroe unhappy with the
upsets of established stars

U.S. Open golf championship

BECKENHAM, England (AP) —
Michael Chang’s success in the
French Open galls John McEnroe,
who complained Wednesday that
young tennis players are “getting
away with murder” when they beat
the established stars.
“I’d like to start a committee of
veteran players to put these others in
their place,” McEnroe said.
The 30-year-old McEnroe made
his remarks at the Beckenham grass
court championships as rain delayed
his scheduled match. He is using the
event to prepare for Wimbledon,
where he will be making a bid for his
fourth title.
McEnroe, citing a back injury,
skipped the French Open, where the
17-year-old Chang advanced to the
semifinals with victories over Ivan
Lendl and Ronald Agenor. The Cal
ifornian is the youngest men’s semi
finalist in the tournament’s history.
It was Chang’s victory over Lendl
that seemed to annoy McEnroe the
most.
“It’s incredible that a teen-ager
like Chang can beat the world’s No.
1 player in Paris,” said McEnroe,
who reached the Wimbledon semifi
nals as an 18-year-old in 1977. “I
take offense at these little guys com
ing in and winning.
“If it happens every 10 years that’s
one thing, but they’re getting away
with murder. ... The circuit’s made
for 17-21 year olds who have noth
ing on their minds except tennis. It’s
not made for 30-year-olds,” McEn
roe said.
McEnroe defeated Chang in an
early round match at the French
Open last year, after McEnroe crit
icized the teen-ager for saying he
used to dream of playing — and de
feating — McEnroe when he was
growing up.
McEnroe said he was optimistic
about his chances at Wimbledon.
“I am happy that I won it three
times, but four sounds better,” be
said.
HARRISON, N.Y. (AP) —Seve
Ballesteros hopes to use the familiar
surroundings of one of his favorite
hunting grounds as a tune-up for
next week’s U.S. Open golf
championship.
“It’s very important for me to play
well this week,” the Spanish star said
before a practice round for the
Westchester Classic that begins
Thursday.
“If I play well here, it gives me
confidence, makes me feel good
mentally, for next week,” Ballesteros
said.
And there’s every reason for him
to expect a strong performaiKi
the hilly Westchester Country[
in the northern suburbs ofS,
York.
Ballesteros, the current andil
time British Open champi
this course as one of his four ft
ites in the world. Madrid, when
won earlier this year; Went*;
near London; and the Augusta
tional, site of the Masters, ate
others.
“One of the courses wherelfit
\\\ the top ft\e,” haihestt'svs'S'bi'h
The record supports that ai
ment. In four starts here, he has
twice and lost in a playoff.
