New lawsuit questions
NCAA’s no-prayer rule
Maddux baffles Astros again
□ Under the rule, players
cannot celebrate scores
with religious acts.
LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — The
Baptist college Jerry Falwell
founded filed a lawsuit Thursday
to prevent the NCAA from enforc
ing a rule prohibiting football play
ers from kneeling in prayer to cele
brate touchdowns.
Liberty University asked U.S.
District judge James Turk to block
the NCAA from penalizing teams
whose players pray on the field be
ginning with Saturday’s games.
‘This stadium is a public place.
Why should you — the NCAA —
tell me where I need to pray?” said
Liberty coach Sam Rutigliano, a
plaintiff in the lawsuit along with
the university and four football
players.
The NCAA this season will
strictly enforce a 3-year-old rule
that bans players from removing
their helmets, taunting the
crowd or opposing players, pos
ing or dancing after touchdowns
or big plays.
Liberty’s lawsuit claims that
banning players from kneeling to
Nance

rently the second longest home
streak in Southwest Conference
history.
Ken Hatfield, current Rice
and former Arkansas head coach
once commented, "Texas A&M is
the toughest place I have had to
coach ... the fans are loyal, they
don’t leave or sit down when
their team gets behind. Their
band seems to be huge and has a
lot of brass. They get everyone in
there the night before the game
for a midnight pep rally (Yell
Practice) and it carries over to
the next day.”
Ironically enough, the last
time the Aggies were outscored
pray on the field is religious dis
crimination and violates the 1964
Civil Rights Act.
“The NCAA is overstepping
its bounds. It’s doing something
that is not only unconstitution
al, it’s immoral, going against
someone’s religion,” said Jarrod
Everson, a Liberty freshman
football player. He is not among
the four plaintiffs.
Liberty athletic director Chuck
Burch said the NCAA went too
far in trying to eliminate un
sportsmanlike showboating. “It’s
hard for me to look at somebody
kneeling in prayer as being offen
sive,” he said.
The NCAA does not ban
prayer outright. Players can
kneel on the sidelines, but not on
the playing field or the end zone.
Team members also are allowed
to pray together before or after
the game. It also allows all the
players of one team to kneel to
gether briefly after a big play.
“The emphasis is on the team
and the emphasis is on team cele
bration,” said Grant Teaff, execu
tive director of the American Col
lege Football Coaches and the for
mer coach at Baptist-supported
Baylor University.
on Kyle Field, it was by Hat
field’s Arkansas Razorbacks in
a game that decided the SWC
championship. The Aggies have
won every home game since
then, with the exception of a 20-
20 tie against Baylor in October
of 1990.
The Aggies enter the 1995
season with an 18-game SWC
winning streak at Kyle Field. Af
ter this season, they will extend
the streak to 24 games to lay the
SWC to rest in the history books.
his season will allow the Big
Eight schools to see what they
have to look forward to playing
in a conference with A&M next
season.
With that said, tomorrow af
ternoon when the Aggies take
the field, show LSU and their
fans what makes the Aggie Spir
it so different from other schools.
ATLANTA (AP) — Greg Mad
dux posted his 13th victory in
his last 14 decisions and became
the NL’s top winner as the At
lanta Braves beat the Houston
Astros 5-2 Thursday night.
Maddux (15-2) checked the
Astros on six hits as he pitched
his third straight complete
game and his major league-lead
ing ninth. Maddux, who had
four strikeouts and one inten
tional walk, got 21 of the 27
outs on ground balls.
Chipper Jones homered and
Dwight Smith delivered a sacri
fice fly in support of Maddux,
who has allowed three runs in
his last 25 innings.
The Braves ended a three-
game losing streak in beating
Houston for the first time in six
games in Atlanta Stadium. The
Braves reduced their magic
number for winning the NL
East to 15.
Doug Drabek (7-8) carried a 2-
1 lead into the seventh but Jones
led off with his 19th homer of the
season to tie the game.
Fred McGriff walked, David
Justice singled, and Charlie
O’Brien was hit with a pitch to
load the bases with one out.
Dave Veres relieved Drabek
and gave up Smith’s sacrifice
fly to center which then scored
McGriff.

No. 2 Nebraska routs OSU, 64-21
□ Lawrence Phillips gains
153 yards and scores
three touchdowns.
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) —
No. 2 Nebraska opened defense
of its national championship
with a dominating performance
Thursday night, getting three
first-half touchdowns from
Lawrence Phillips in a 64-21 vic
tory over Oklahoma State.
Phillips, cleared Tuesday by
the NCAA to play, had 125
yards at halftime and finished
with 153 on 12 carries as the
Cornhuskers rolled up 671 yards
and beat Oklahoma State for the
22nd straight time. They have
not lost to the Cowboys since
1961, the only break a tie in
1973.
Tommie Frazier added two
touchdown passes and scored
once on the ground. The Corn
huskers, 13-0 last year, won
their 26th straight regular-sea
son game — the longest streak
in the country — and 18th in a
row in Big Eight play.
First-year coach Bob Sim
mons saw his Cowboys, 3-7-1 in
1994, get mauled from the out
set and lose their 19th straight
conference game. Oklahoma
State had 1 yard of offense in
the first quarter, and five times
during the game had possessions
