Sarah Ryan Kim Branham ’91 ELECT JUDGE UIL reprimands GP coach for providing team with meals Foreman readies to regain title from Holyfield AiAH THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR COUNTY COURT AT LAW JUDGE Paid for by the Elect Sarah Ryan Campaign, David Branham, Treasurer, 2354 W. Briargate, Bryan TX 77802 AUSTIN (AP) — The governing body of schoolboy athletics on Thursday publicly reprimanded ■football coach Bruce Bush of Gre- gory-Portland, suspended him for two games and placed him on proba tion for one year because meals were provided for his team. But Gregory-Portland, which had been disqualified from the football playoffs by its district committee, will be allowed to compete for state championship honors under a mo tion adopted by the University Inter scholastic League. The team is undefeated in district with two games remaining, which Bush will miss. The UIL State Executive Commit tee also issued a public reprimand against the Gregory-Portland foot ball program and extended for one year, to February 1992, probation that already was in effect for another incident. Pizzas were bought for the Class 4A team by school principal Dottie Childs, according to the UIL. It also was reported that ham burgers and breakfasts were paid for by the school from an account used to pay for such things as athletic trips in the playoffs. UlL In other cases of alleged viola tions, the UIL’s State Executive Committee: — Publicly reprimanded Sander son football coach Gary Shackelford and placed him on probation for one year as a result of his pulling his team from the field with six minutes to go in a losing game against Van Horn on Oct. 12. — Refused to add its own penalty to a junior high school coach accused of recruiting a running back for the Judson Independent School District. & Bush said the meals were bought to show support for players who had reached the playoffs, and he did not think about it being a possible rule violation. He said, however, “Any violation we have in our program is my fault, and I’m the one who should be pun ished, not the kids.” “Everybody was trying to do so much for the kids,” Bush added. Tm not a cheater, and we don’t cheat at Gregory-Portland High School.” On Oct. 2, the District 26-5A exec utive committee issued a public rep rimand and probation for one year to the Judson football program and suspended running back Jerod Douglas from varsity athletics for two years. The district committee trans ferred to the state UIL committee the case of junior high coach Donny Littlefield for consideration of a penalty greater than a private repri mand for allegedly recruiting Doug las for Judson. The state committee rejected pub lic and so-called private reprimands by votes of 2-6 and 3-5, respectively. MARSHALL (AP) — Only one obstacle lies between George Fore man and the dream he has been fighting to achieve since March 1987 — Evander Holy- field. The former heavyweight champion may be 14 years older than Holyfield, but he said he in tends to regain the title he lost to Muhammad Ali 16 years ago. Foreman, 42, Foreman of Man accused of shooting Oiler receives sentence Houston, has won 23 consecutive fights since an nouncing his comeback after a 10- year layoff. Holyfield will defend his new title against Foreman for $20 million. Foreman will get $12.5 million in the bout, whose site and date have yet to be determined. Foreman told the Marshall News Messenger this week he’ll be pre pared to face Holyfield, who won the title Oct. 25 with a third-round knockout of James “Buster” Doug las. “I’ve dedicated myself for that moment,” said Foreman. “When the time comes. I’ll be ready.” The Marshall native plans to re turn to his ranch in Marshall in No vember, where he’ll add “a little wood chopping” to his list of exer cises. Foreman said he is training about 16 hours a day and plans to be in top shape for the Holyfield bout. Since starting his comeback, his fight weight, anywhere from 255 to 263 BAYBORO, N.C.
