AUSTIN (AP) — Texas’ tal ented but troubled tandem of Mike Adams and Lovell Pinkney will miss the No. 18 Longhorns’ season opener this weekend because they broke the NCAA’s amateurism rule, coach John Mackovic said Sunday. Mackovic said the junior re ceivers violated the NCAA’s amateur status code by using a rental car provided for them. They apparently had the car for about five weeks earlier this summer, at a value of about $1,000. A specially appointed UT committee investigated the in cident and ruled the two should be suspended for one game and each be fined $500. “The NCAA has confirmed the violation,” Mackovic said Sunday during the Southwest Conference coaches conference call. “At this point, we will send everything to them and they will make final determi nation. If they look at it and say it’s OK, the case is closed.” Mackovic did not say who gave the players the car but said he did not believe it was a booster or an agent. Adams and Pinkney will miss Saturday’s game at Pitts- I burgh. If the NCAA allows them to return after the one- game suspension, Adams and | Pinkney would play Sept. 10 in Texas’ home opener against Louisville. The Longhorns already were fighting depth problems at key offensive spots follow ing season-ending injuries to running back Darrell Wilson and receivers Justin McLemore and Wane McGari- ty. Before the injuries and this probation, Texas had been picked to win the SWC. The Longhorns have 18 returning starters, counting Adams and Pinkney, from last season’s 5- 5-1 team. The team’s top two re ceivers last year, Adams and Pinkney were big reasons for UT’s success. Adams gained 1,854 all-pur pose yards and scored eight touchdowns, and Pinkney caught 47 passes for 686 yards and five touchdowns. But their highlights have been overshadowed at times by several off-field matters. Their problems began as freshmen when they were kicked out of the athletic dor mitory because of an incident that began as a water fight. Then they left school after the 1993 fall semester so they could work to repay housing bills. Adams was suspended from the team for 60 days after he was charged in June with ag gravated assault on a police officer and assault with bodily injury on a woman. Adams de nies both claims and the woman has said he did not hit her. That suspension ended Sunday.

He’s played better. It’s going to take me awhile longer to learn the system but I know I can play in this league.” Oilers general manager Floyd Reese said Salisbury’s reported $1.1 million salary is incorrect, but he declined to give details of the deal. He did say he’d try to con vince Salisbury to play for less. "I don’t want to waive him because I know four or five teams would snap him up in a minute,” Reese said. “But we can do some other things.” Asked if he’d consider a cut in salary, Salisbury replied, “I’d have to think about that. I think I’ve earned my salary.” Richardson signed a two- year contract in the off-season worth $500,000 per season. The Oilers cut wide receiver Lee Gissendaner, a sixth-rounii choice from Northwesters; guard Jeff Neal; offensive tack le Shawn Harper; linebacker Lemanski Hall, a seventh) round pick from Alabama; and cornerbacks Emanuel Martin and Tony Brown. They placed tight end Tom my Stowers and running back Sean Jackson, a fourth-round draft pick from Florida State, on injured reserve.

But I consented when the pain hit me, and relegated my self to watching the post-game party on tape. Oh, was I wrong . Down at the emergency room of the Bellaire Hospital(which is disturbingly adjacent to the Bellaire Funeral Home), there were at least 12 televisions on, and even the sickest people there were smiling and laugh ing. I hugged, chest-bumped or high-fived(right hand only) close to 100 people, including the doctor that splinted my fin ger, a guy who had Game Seven tickets, but had to give them up after being called in to work that afternoon. Looking at my finger, he said he admired my dedication as a fan. We managed another chest- bump before I went home. The doctor was easily 60 years old. The next night was the Houston Victory Party at the Astrodome. Turns out, Houston fans can make 1 quite a bit of noise when they want to. Have you ever sung a song with 55,000 other people? It happened thrice that Thursday night; first, with the “Star-Spangled Banner”, which featured three rousing choruses of “And the rockets’ red glare”, second, a stomping, shouting version of Queen’s “We Will Rock You”, as the the players all stood up on the stage and the highlights from the Knicks’ series were shown, and finally an eight-minute version of “We Are the Champions” as the players and coaches rode one fi nal lap around the dome and drove off out of sight. Day Three:The Parade. You think parking on campus is tough? Try finding a space in already crowded downtown Houston, with an extra 500,000 people looking for spots. To ensure myself of a front row spot along the parad route, I arrived downtowm! about 9 a.m., a mere four ho®: before the planned startinl time of the parade. Unfortunately, the para; did not start on time, becam Hakeem was at his mosqi and then couldn’t get toil start of the route, because* all the traffic.
