But the challenge he now faces as the new athletic director for Austin’s 10 senior high school and 13 junior high schools might be tougher than winning a state football championship. He was chosen earlier this month from 30 applicants to supervise a program with an annual budget ap proaching $1 million. During a recent interview, Frey tag, 51, talked about his agenda for the coming year as athletic director. He has three key goals, he said. He wants: — to improve attendance at the city’s high school football games to raise the athletic department’s reve nue; — to increase from six to 10 the number of full-time athletic trainers in the school district, one at each high school; — to improve the junior high feeder system so athletes will receive more consistent coaching. Improving the gate at football games is an uphill battle, he said. He blamed much of the problem on busing. “The problem is we’ve got people scattered, and when kids go across town to a school there’s no loyalty to that school, because it isn’t really a part of the community the kids and their parents live in. “Back in the old days when there were fewer schools, the kids all knew each other and the parents all knew each other. They went to the same barber shop and they were involved in community activities. It’s not that way anymore...Our attendance last fall was the lowest it’s ever been, partly because of low enrollment.” With only three playing fields available for high school football games, scheduling is limited. But Freytag said he’ll see if it’s possible to schedule more neighborhood games to help increase attendance. Although the salaries of six ath letic trainers who serve the 23 high schools and junior highs are not un der his supervision, Freytag said one of his goals will be to have a full-time trainer for each high school. He said they also could serve the needs of nearby junior highs. “Again, we’re talking money,” Freytag said. “It may!* we get the trainers, that we wi to phase them in. But I’m go do everything I can because strongly about it.” Freytag said he would likeathi from a junior high move on lo\. 88 No o same high school wherever possi ly Richard ' At Austin Reagan, he notei T .

Walters and Bloom were con victed in April of signing athletes be fore their college eligibility had ex pired, and of threatening some of the athletes with harm to if they sought to break the agreements. U.S. District Judge George Maro- vich said the involvement of the agents, particularly Walters, with an organized-crime figure weighed heavily in his decision to sentence Walters to five years in prison and Bloom to three years. “I wouldn’t dream of breaking the law. That’s not who I am,” an almost inaudible Walters told the judge be fore sentencing, at times choking back tears. “I am deeply sorry for what I’ve done. If I can be given a second chance, I’d like it,” Bloom said. Marovich said that although “there were no heroes” among the athletes and universities involved in the trial, Walters and Bloom still must pay. The judge ordered each to serve five years’ probation after leaving prison. Bloom also was ordered to finish paying back $145,000 to Paul Palmer, a running back with the Kansas City Chiefs who had sought to invest the money with Bloom. Walters was ordered to forfeit $250,000 to the government. Walters, 57, and Bloom, 29, were convicted April 13 of racketeering, Conspiracy and mail fraud after a five-week trial. Each had faced up to 55 years in prison. After the sentencing, Walters and Bloom were released on bond for 30 days, pending appeals. Lawyers for both agents said they would appeal the convictions and sentences. They were convicted of all counts except two of four mail-fraud charges, which concerned the de frauding of the universities. Marovich said the case was nota ble for “the absence of any easily identifiable good guys.” “I do want to give fair warning” to athletes, sports agents, university ad ministrators and others involved in college athletics, the judge said. “You may be playing in a differ ent ball game and it might be called hardball. ... There is a previously un recognized player on the field — the rule of law.” Attorney Dan Webb, representing Bloom, said after the sentencing he was gratified that the judge appar ently agreed that “these universities OS WASHINC is the countr ccording to hat say the "ags and sev< percent Hisp; I While Los jnany Hispan iTexas, no m are a cesspool of corruption, they have destroyed amateur aiM| ics in America.” Marovich said he was partial! concerned about the link betw| Walters and Michael Franzes jailed member of a New York nized crime family who testified he helped Finance the sports resentation business started M ters and Bloom. “The infiltration of organ! crime in this activity was an inlet part of determining the senteni U.S. Attorney Anton Valukast Fgh a propc after the hearing. dents as Lan Walters raised his voice |i us bureau pounded the lecturn Monday’•W 3 )'' speaking of Franzese, whotnl: Only five called a “bum” and a "liar.” Kreas in the c Walters represented entertaeffy Hispanic f for more than 30 years, andso@2.9 percent to represent athletes with BlS ent ’ ^ * >a: only during the 1980s. ^ruces, N.K Walters said Monday hehadU corpus Ch every penny” of the nearly Sit ccording to lion he invested in the sports!)

(AP) — A Maryland man pleaded guilty Mon day in a plea arrangement to charges stemming from the alleged use and distribution of steroids within the University of South Carolina’s ath letic department. Meanwhile, ex-South Carolina as sistant football coach Jim Washburn testified he became worried in the mid-1980s that the use of steroids by players “had gotten out of hand.” Washburn also said he and ex-assis tant coach Tom Gadd, whose trial began Monday, arranged for a Gamecock player to obtain steroids. In a surprise move, John L. Car ter; 25, of Bethesda, Md., pleaded guilty to giving steroids to former Gamecock football player Tommy Chaikin. Three other counts were dropped, including charges Carter gave steroids to three other ex- Gamecock players — George Hyder, David Poinsett and Woody Myers. A story co-written by Chaikin in Sports Illustrated led to the indict ments of Carter, Gadd and three other ex-Gamecock coaches. In the magazine’s Oct. 24 issue, Chaikin said he and other players, including about half the 1986 team, used ster oids. Chaikin played for the school from 1983 to 1987. ing trial at the federal coum that was to start after Gadd’strii) torneys said. “Overall, I think this is a [ to end the case,” said John Hij way, one of two lawyers represenl Carter. “I think a plea to,a 4 meanor . . . accurately reflects' hopefully the jury’s verdict»; have been and also what he did.” Carter, who will be sentenced in four to six weeks, faces a maximum of two years in prison and $200,000 in fines under the plea bargain.
