THE TOURNAMENT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17 ritOM 7I’M UNTIL YELL 1’UACTICE ROOM 027 MSC DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Maver- icks forward Roy Tarpley was sus pended indefinitely Thursday by counselors in his after-care pro gram, one day after he was arrested on charges of driving while intoxi cated and resisting arrest. In a telephone hookup from the ASAP Family Treatment Center in Van Nuys, Calif., Dr. David Lewis told a news conference that Tarpley would be suspended without pay “until we can sort everything out.” Tarpley, who twice has been treated for drug and alcohol abuse, was arrested just before 11 p.m. Wednesday oh a north Dallas free way after officers spotted him driv ing his car too close to another. He also pulled away from a woman po lice officer who tried to arrest him, said officer Frank Ruspoli. “It is clear that alcohol was in volved and that is in non-compliance with his after-care,” Lewis said. “Roy will be suspended until he is fully in compliance with his personal after care program. He must understand the gravity of this kind of incident and how alcohol contributes to it.” Tarpley, who did not attend the afternoon news conference, has not commented on the Wednesday night incident. He practiced with the Mav ericks Thursday morning, then talked with Lewis. A positive test for alcohol would be a violation of Tarpley’s after-care program but not necessarily the “third strike” that would result in a lifetime suspension from the NBA with an opportunity to apply for re instatement after two years. But Lewis said if a blood test taken after the arrest turns up cocaine, Tarpley would be suspended for life. Test results may not be available for "r> tr> two weeks. Dallas police said. Asked if he advised Tarpley to tell his side of the story, Lewis said, “I don’t have any advice for Roy in that regard. I hope he will spend time and energy on himself and his after care.” Owner Donald Carter said flatly that Tarpley wouldn’t be welcome said. “We are responsible to this city for our actions. You can take the name Roy Tarpley off of it there be cause I’d feel the same way about anybody in the organization. He has to be accountable for his actions. ” Dallas Police Sgt. J.N. Grissom said patrol officers Laura Campbell and Paul Keough clocked Tarpley “W “e’ll go on with or without him. We’re not going to ride that emotional roller-coaster any more.” — Rolando Blackman, Mavericks’ guard around the Mavericks’ facilities any time soon. “We won’t have any relationship with him,” Carter said. “We won’t f iick him up. We won’t give him ood. We will have nothing to do with him until the time he is sent back to us to play basketball.” Mavericks coach John MacLeod said, “We want him to be sober and comply and we don’t even want him around for any of our meetings.” Earlier, Carter indicated that Tar pley’s days with the Mavericks might be numbered. “You are innocent until you are proven guilty but I don’t have a whole lot of hope,” Carter said. “I am embarrassed and frustrated. Have you ever wanted to haul off and hit your head against a wall?” Carter said the organization’s hands were tied in dealing with the chemical dependency aspect but not on the charge of resisting arrest. “That (the resisting arrest charge) is not what this city wants,” Carter driving 70-80 mph on the LBJ Free way. Tarpley was held in the Lew Ster- rett Justice Center for several hours until he posted his own bond at 3:27 :1 was released about 4:20 a.m. anc a.m., according to Sgt. Ed Crosby Jailers allowed Tarpley to leave through an entrance normally used for admitting prisoners to the facility that serves as jail for Dallas and Dal las County. Crosby said Tarpley posted more than $200 in bond and was released through a pre-trial release program. Police gave him a ride home. His luxury car was impounded. Tarpley’s teammates accepted the fact that Tarpley was in trouble again. “We’ll go on with or without him,” said guard Rolando Blackman. “We’re not going to ride that emo tional roller-coaster any more.” Assistant coach Richie Adubato said, “It seems like every time we things set up around here wege disruption. ” Ruspoli said Tarpley also was rested on four traffic charges, eluding tailgating, and an iittpro) lane change, and failure to have driver’s license and proof of iinj ance with him. Driving while intoxicated sisting arrest are Class B misdeias nor charges, punishable byupios months in jail and a $1,000 fine. The resisting arrest charge, filed after Tarpley tried topulhn from the officers’ grasp during! arrest, Ruspoli said. “When they arrested himheb sicallv just pulled away from tin grasp, that was enough for then charge him with resisting arres Ruspoli said. “He didn’t resistir, manner that he struck theofficei all." Tarpley took a blood test in® of a breathalyzer test, as police!) reported. Chandler said.

(AP) — Nearly one-third of current and for mer NFL players responding to a survey said they accepted illegal pay ments while in college; 53 percent said they saw nothing wrong with breaking NCAA rules to get extra cash. The study also found cheating to be most pervasive in major confer ences, particularly the Southeast Conference, where 67 percent of the league’s former players said they ac cepted under-the-table payments to augment their scholarships. The study by Allen L. Sack, a so ciology professor at the University of New Haven, was based on responses from 1,182 active and retired NFL players — roughly a third of the 3,500 contacted. “For me, the results said that it’s far more than what they say at the NCAA — that it’s not just a rene gade institution or the deviant player. There’s a substantial under ground economy that’s likely to be unstopped,” Sack said. “I think the problem with the sys tem is that it’s humiliating for ath letes and degrading for higher edu cation,” he said Thursday, in a telephone interview from the New Haven campus. David Berst, NCAA assistant ex ecutive director for enforcement, said he had not seen the study, but expected that someone at the NCAA would review the findings. “I don’t know how to react for sure,” he said. Sack said the respondents indi cated that the “vast majority” of ille gal payments were made by alumni, although coaches also reportedly made improper payments. Payments were made by sliding cash under dormitory doors, or in congratula tory handshakes after games. Sack said. One player said he typically found cash in his helmet every Mon day before practice. An important source of illegal cash was derived from the sale of complimentary tickets each player receives, the survey showed. Sack said one player admitted getting as much as $1,000 per ticket. NCAA rules prohibit players from selling game tickets. Most players who admitted ; ing illegal payments said they cepting ceived a total of about ac re- ,000 over four years. In addition to cash, they accepted free meals and clothing, Sack said. A new suit was a popular payoff among older players, the study found. One player, however, said he re ceived a total of $80,000 in illegal payments over his college career. Another said he was offered part in terest in an oil well but refused, Sack said. Under NCAA rules, a player can only be awarded enough scholarship money to cover room, board and fees. A college player who accepts payment to play can be forced to forefeit his scholarship, and his school could face disciplinary action by the NCAA. Ex-Sooner football players await verdict on rape charges NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Ju rors began deliberations Thurs day in the trial of three former Oklahoma football players who are accused of raping an Okla homa City woman in the football dormitory. While a prosecutor told the panel of seven men and five women he believed evidence against the defendants was con clusive, defense attorneys argued there were too many inconsis tencies in testimony to convict Ni gel Clay of Fontana, Calif., Ber nard Hall of Detroit and Glen Bell of Muskogee of first-degree rape. The case went to the jury at 11:23 a.m. CDT following two full days of testimony. District Attorney Tally McCoy said in final arguments that he believed the evidence was conclu sive that a rape occurred and that Clay, Hall and Bell “did it.” Hall’s attorney, Fred Shaeffer, told the panel tne only way they could find any of the defendants guilty is to make a guess. “Don’t guess these guys guilty. Don’t guess them into the peni tentiary. It’s not the American way,’” he said. Assistant District AttorneyIrbi Taylor earlier urged thejurynd to be influenced by the fact that the defendants had once played for Oklahoma. Shaeffer and Charles Cox. Bell’s attorney, attacked thecred ibility of the state’s key witness, Jimmy Fennell. Fennell, a former teammate testified Wednesday that he sa» the three defendants rape the woman. “Jimmy Fennell is a liar. Hesj lied from the beginning. He even lied in this courtroom... Shaeffer said. Clay and Hall both testified Wednesday that they werenotit the dormitory room when the woman allegedly was attacked On Tuesday, the woman re counted the events of the nightof Jan. 21. She told the court she could not identify her attacked because it was dark in the room She said she was grabbed I someone as she came out of the bathroom in a suite of roomsai the dormitory and was thrownli the floor in the bedroom. ai 41 Ti TANK MCNAMARA® ^ Td£ CAMUAKSM OFFIC& CALLSp uJiTd A PHOTO OPPORTUNITY THE.
