Angels surge
past Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -
Gary Gaetti's sacrifice fly capped
a three-run ninth inning rally for
the California Angels on Thurs
day night as they spoiled Brian
Bonanon's strong pitching for a 3-
2 victory over the Texas Rangers.
Texas relief ace Jeff Russell
was the victim of the uprising af
ter Chad Curtis led off the inning
with a double off Bohanon, who
allowed just three hits.
Bobby Rose singled Curtis
home and Luis Polonia came in to
run for Rose. Junior Felix singled
and Polonia scored when a
grounder by Hubie Brooks went
through the legs of third baseman
Dean Palmer as Felix took third.
Then Gaetti delivered the sac
rifice fly to center field.
Russell fell to 1-1, while
Chuck Crim (1-0) earned the win
with a perfect eighth inning.
Bryan Harvey came on in the
ninth to earn his third save.
Bohanon, who replaced the in
jured Nolan Ryan in the starting
rotation, spent half of the 1991
season recovering from elbow
surgery.
Duke star signed contract
with GQ, newspaper says
DURHAM (AP) - Duke's
pristine image was called into
question Thursday by a taped di
ary Christian Laettner kept for GQ
magazine after the university de
termined the project wouldn't vio
late NCAA rules.
Laettner and the university
said they "categorically deny" a
newspaper article that said the
three-time All-American signed a
contract with GQ magazine dur
ing his senior year.
"I have never signed any con
tract with GQ magazine," Laet
tner said in a statement issued by
Duke. "The only agreement I
made was to
submit a diary
to the maga
zine after my
senior year for
a possible fall
issue. I am
shocked and
hurt by the al
legations that
the newspaper
has written.
The Win
ston-Salem
Laettner
Journal reported that Laettner's
agreement with GQ during the
1991-92 season may have been a
violation of NCAA rules. Those
rules say a student athlete's eligi
bility is jeopardized if he makes
an agreement for professional ser
vices or promotes a product while
still eligible.
The All-America center has
used up his college eligibility.
Any violation could result in
retroactive penalties and subject
Duke to sanctions that range from
a letter of reprimand to forfeiture
of all games, including the NCAA
championship, the second straight
for the Blue Devils.
"We checked into all the
rules," said Mike Cragg, Duke's
sports information director, who
said the checks found nothing
wrong with the agreement be
tween the magazine and the star
center, the college basketball play
er of the year.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski said
he would not comment beyond
what was in the school's release.
The university's statement
said Duke's NCAA contact Chris
Kennedy contacted Atlantic Coast
Conference compliance officer
David Thompson and the NCAA
for a ruling.
The statement said Duke "was

UT-Pan American
admits to three
NCAA violations
EDINBURG, Texas (AP) -
The University of Texas-Pan
American has conceded three vio
lations being probed by the
NCAA, but didn't respond to
charges of unethical conduct and
lack of institutional control in its
men's basketball program.
The school admitted in a re
sponse to an NCAA letter of in
quiry that an athletic booster had
helped players obtain a rental car
for a trip to Houston, that a loan
was made to the girlfriend of a
student athlete and that an athlete
was given a jersey during an offi
cial recruiting visit.
University President Miguel
Nevarez said the report mailed
Wednesday did not agree with
charges of unethical conduct by
former head coach Kevin Wall
and lack of institutional control
by Athletic Director Sam Odstrcil.
"It's very hard to get into
someone's mind and know their
motives, so we told the NCAA
that we couldn't respond to those
allegations," Nevarez said.
12th Man Notebook
given an interpretation which did
not prohibit Laettner from prepar
ing a diary for future post-eligibil
ity publication."
Earlier, Cragg said he didn't
know if the NCAA had been con
tacted. Kennedy told the newspa
per he didn't check directly with
the NCAA.
The NCAA wouldn't confirm
or deny an investigation into the
report. Duke officials said no rules
were violated because Laettner
didn't sign a contract.
"1 think that we would look at
the facts overall, but I don't think
we would distinguish between an
oral or written agreement,"
NCAA official Rick Evrard said.
"An agreement is an agreement."
A spokeswoman for GQ said
Thursday that Duke and GQ were
careful to follow the rules.
"Our manager Eliot Kaplan
went to great pains to work with
Duke to make sure there.were no
violations ... and Duke got permis
sion from the NCAA/ GQ's
Cathy O'Brien said.
Kaplan, now editor at
Philadelphia Magazine, had a dif
ferent version. Fie said Thursday
he never discussed with Duke
whether the agreement with Laet
tner might violate NCAA rules.
The Journal reported that Ka
plan said Laettner signed a stan
dard writing contract. Other mag
azine officials denied that. Kaplan
said later he assumed there was a
contract because it was standard
procedure to mail one to all writ
ers.
Laettner, the leading scorer for
Duke's championship team,
agreed last August to keep a diary
during the season which would be
published by the magazine later
this year, GQ officials said.
"There was never a guarantee
of publication," Cragg said. After
the magazine transcribed the
tapes and decided whether the ar
ticle would be published, "they
would discuss financial terms or
whatever," he said.
GQ officials said a fee was set
but declined to disclose it. They
said Laettner didn't sign a con
tract but had an oral agreement
with GQ.
Laettner didn't hide his deal
with GQ. He told reporters in
March that he agreed to make
weekly tape-recorded entries for
GQ and would be paid after pub
lication.

Tark to make $500,000 a year
as San Antonio head coach
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Jerry
Tarkanian's "multi-year" contract
as San Antonio Spurs head coach
is worth at least $500,000 per sea
son, two newspapers reported
Thursday.
Spurs owner Red McCombs
announced Wednesday he had
hired the former UNLV coach to
take over as Spurs coach after this
season, filling a job vacated by the
January firing of Larry Brown.
McCombs and Tarkanian de
clined to disclose contract terms,
other than to say it is a "multi
year" deal.
A report Thursday in the San
Antonio Express-News said
Tarkanian received a two-year
contract worth $500,000 per sea
son plus an option year. The San
Antonio Light reported he signed
a three-year deal for $600,000 per
season. Tarkanian's contract also
includes incentives, the newspa
pers reported.
Both San Antonio newspapers
also quoted unnamed sources as
saying Tarkanian plans to hire for
mer Runnin' Rebels assistant
coach Tim Grgurich.
Tarkanian, at the Wednesday
news conference announcing his
hiring, declined to discuss who
would make up his staff. He also
said he was not ready to discuss
the specific changes he would
make with the team.
"I'm really anxious ton
get involved and see that the
needs," he said. "It's a teamwib
a lot of talent."
Tarkanian is entering theN8I
after 32 years of coachingcollef
basketball. He spent the pas! I 1

that the Spurs are the majors;

first-round game and the TV
camera cut to the coach who had
traded in for a puke green
sweater. It made the original
brown sweater look like some
thing from Brooks Brothers.
Then, a graphic appeared on
the screen that said St. John's
was 15-4 with Carnessecca's
new sweater. Old traditions
never die.
Carnessecca retired from
coaching last Monday. In his 24
years at St. John's, he amassed a
record of 526-200. His teams
played in the postseason every
year that he was at the helm.
With such an impressi« {
record, it's hard to accept that*
piece of clothing had anythin!
to do with it. He's a master^
the game, and an excellentju^
of talent. Greats like V '
Berry, Chris Mullin and
Jackson all played for the Red
men under Carnessecca.
This little man,with a voitf
so raspy you'd think he swal
