Drug scandal includes coach
CLEMSON, S.C. — Former Clemson University track coach Stanley S. Narewski has admitted giving prescription drugs to students operating with law enforcement authorities.
Narewski met with State Law Enforcement Division agents Monday and "explained the circumstances and context which prescription drugs he has knowledge of were distributed to athletes," said Charleston attorney Gedney Hayne.
Augustinius Jaspers, a cross-country runner from The Netherlands, was found dead in his Clemson University dormitory room Oct. 19.
His death was attributed to a congenital heart defect and was not drug-related. But traces of the anti-inflammatory drug phenybutazone were found in his blood, and drug was found in his room. Officials said Jaspers did not have a prescription.

NCAA meeting comes to close
The NCAA stood up for church, country and motherhood yesterday while finishing
The final session was highlighted by the rejection of a proposal which would have taken eligibility away from athletes who completed missions or serve in the armed services.
And, along those same lines, the delegates agreed to allow an extra year of eligibility for female athletes who become pregnant.
Tuesday, the convention gave major colleges autonomy to set their own limits for athletic scholarships and coaching staffs, but delayed action on banning performance-enhancing drugs and raising academic standards.
NIT to get second tournament
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The NCAA on Wednesday gave the rival National Invitation Tournament permission to play in a 16-4 conference basketball tournament in November.
The tournament will be in addition to the NIT tourney at the close of the season.
A spokesman for the NIT said the end-of-season tournament, which holds its final in New York City during the progress of the NCAA championships, had been watered down by the expansion of the NCAA's tournament.
The single-elimination pre-season tournament will be held during the last two weekends in November.
Heart patient invited to derby
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — To demonstrate their faith in Bill Schroeder's recovery, city officials yesterday invited the mechanical-heart patient to attend the 111th Kentucky Derby May 4 at Churchill Downs.
At the urging of Mayor Harvey I. Sloane, a physician, Churchill Downs agreed to offer two Derby tickets to Schroeder, who was a permanent artificial heart recipient Nov. 25.
Derby tickets are especially coveted. They traditionally are passed from generation to generation in family wills, and they have been contested in divorce cases.
Cardinals keep moving rights
The St. Louis Cardinals, sought by business interests in Phoenix, have told the NFL they have the right to move without the league's approval.
In a letter received Tuesday by NFL officials in New York, the Cardinals said they have the right to leave St. Louis because of the decision by Al Davis to move his Oakland Raiders to Los Angeles without first setting league approval.

Wrigley neighbors fight lights
CHICAGO — Nearly 200 residents who live near Wrigley Field said last night they would pressure the owners of the Chicago skyline day baseball in their neighborhood.
"This community, rich in its diversity, talent and commitment is about to stand the Tribune Company on its head," said Liz Koehler, president of Citizens United for Baseball in Sunshine.
Residents near Wrigley Field, the nation's only lit ballpark, braved snow and freezing temperatures to attend the meeting, which was held to discuss pending litigation regarding the lights issue.
“There is a fire burning in the hearts of people all over the city and state.” Kaszak said. “What else would get this many people to ever night — the worst night in January?”
State and local officials were among those attending the meeting to discuss the group's intervention in a lawsuit filed by the Tribune C.O., owners of the club, to overturn state and city legislation that effectively prohibits night baseball.

With 16:47 remaining in the women's game at Allen Field House, Jackie Martin hit a jump shot that started the scoring burst. It was the second of 48-47 lead, and Kansas never trailed again.
"When we were able to break the game open it was a matter of keeping the pressure on." Jayhawk head coach Marlan Washingto say, "And that what's it will take down the stretch."
The game marked the return of Phililia Allen and Barbara Adkins to the Kansas line-up. Allen played for five minutes, scored three goals and was played for two minutes and didn't score.
The Jayhawks were down 41:38 at half-time, and Washington said she told her team it wasn't playing with enough intensity. The Jayhawks turned the game around in the second half.
Washington said, "Sure is good. It will be even better when we get them back in the system. There is no question we will be stronger with them.
"But I'm not taking anything away from me. I was helpful to have some maturity for the job."
Kansas climbed back to within one point of the Cyclones, 47-46, with 17-14 left in the game, and then reeled off 10 more unanswered points. Jackie Martin and Kelly Jennings each scored four points during that stretch while Vickie Adkins, who led the

But for Kansas, the first half wasn't as easy as the second.
Kansas then built on its lead. The Jayhawks had their biggest lead, 83-61, with 2:34 left in the game. But five throws by the state late in the game closed the final margin.

Vickie Adkins got the Jayhawks on the scoreboard first on a layup off the tipoff but the Cyclones, whose biggest lead was five points, tied the score just 21 seconds later. The game was tied eight times in the first half and there were nine lead changes.
During the first half, Washington said she thought that Cyclone Rhonda Thacker, who led Iowa State with 18 points, was getting too many shots from the outside. She changed the defense, and the change proved effective. Thacker to only six points in the second half.
"The thacker was hurting us from the outside so we went to a box-and-one defense," Washington said. "I thought we made a lot of steals when we made that move."
KU set to open conference against ISU
Kansas stole the ball seven times in the second half and had 13 steals for the game.
Other leading scorers for the Cyclones were center Tonya Burns, who scored 16 points, and Hafner, who had 12.
Throughout the game, Washington continued to yell "boards" after every shot, reminding her players to box out and grab kickoffs. Kansas outbounded Iowa State 50-32.

a tough schedule of Big Eight conference play begins tonight at 7:40 at Allen Field House for coach Larry Brown's Jayhawks and coach Johnny Orr's Iowa State Cyclones.
The Cyclones come into tonight's game with a record of 12-4, led by their all-time leading scorer, senior forward Barry Stevens. Stevens is the ninth all-time big Eight scoring and needs 21 points to take the eighth position from former KU-great Darnell Valentine, now a guard for the Portland Trailblazers.
600 tickets remain for tonight's game and ticket manager Terry Johnson said the game probably wouldn't sell out. The game will be held in Topeka and Kansas City but not Lawrence.
Although the Cyclones finished Big Eight play last year with a 6-8 record, they tied for fourth in the conference. ISU finished the season 16-13 overall and earned a birth in the
National Invitational Tournament, losing in the first round to Marquette 73-53.
"They are 12-4 this year with a tough schedule." Brown said yesterday. "They beat Iowa at Iowa, so obviously they are a good basketball team."
Brown said his starting line-up would remain unchanged, with Cedric Hunter and Calvin Thompson starting at the guard spots, and Greg Dreiling as the forwards and Greg Dreeling at it.
"The OU game is no bigger than this." Brown said. "I have the utmost respect for Iowa. They have been beating opponents in a game, which is an incredible statistic."
Only one day will separate the Iowa State game and the Jayhawks' road game at Oklahoma, but Brown is by no means looking past Iowa State.
The Jayhawks have been fighting illness all week and Brown has added guard Milton Newton to the list. Brown said Thompson, Dreiling and guard Tad Boyle would also be a little weak, but he didn't expect the flu to keep anyone from playing.
Brown said he was glad to see classes starting again.
"Having 11,000 for Western Carolina and 10,000 for Texas Southern wasn't the same without the students," Brown said. "I am not a shock. They have helped us in so many games."
Orr summed up his team's strategy
ranked eighth nationally, with few words.
"We are going to have to play very well and very hard." Orr said vestday.
For Orr, the game has special importance because it is the opening of the conference
"I'm not exactly sure how they (his players) feel about the game, but I hope they think it is the most important game of the season," Orr said. "It is the opening of the conference and it is on the road. It has got to be our biggest game up to now."
The schedule facing all Big Eight teams will be easy for no one, and Orr has taken notes.
"The conference really looks strong." Orr said. "If I had to pick a team to win it now, I,
would pick Kansas to warn the conference. But OU is strong and we've been playing well. OSU has been a surprise and of course Nebraska has Hoppen (Dave, an outstanding junior center). And I think KSU is much improved.
"The only team that has not really been pretty good in the pre-conference is Colorado and they are talented. They will be good and they can beat anybody in Boulder. The game against non-conference teams. Every game is going to be a dogfight."
As far as tonight's game is concerned, Orr needs to count on his top player, Stevens.
"He is obviously very important to our team," Orr said. "He has had a few bad games, he played well and still wins, but he can't have a game against Kansas if we expect to win."
Orr said he expected his starting line-up to be Stevens and Jeff Grayer at the forward positions, Sam Hill at center, and Jeff Garrison and Gary Thompkins as the guards.
Sooners, Huskers winners in Big Eight opening night
By United Press International
Sophomore Darryl Kennedy scored 19 points to pace No. 10 Oklahoma, and Nebraska's Dave Hoppen scored 22 points in the Huskers' victory.
Oklahoma defeated Missouri 92-65, and Nebraska beat K-State 75-63 in Big Eight conference openers last night.
OU All-America Wayman Tisdale missed most of the second half with foul trouble, and ended the game with 16 points. Tim Burton also had 16 points for the 12-4 Sooners.
Lynwood Davis hit a 15-foot jump shot with 1:56 left in the first half to put Oklahoma up 45-35, and the Sooners maintained at least a 10-point margin the rest of the way.
In the Nebraska-K-State game, the
Wildcats forged a 31-28 halftime lead and increased their margin by as many as 5 early in the second half before the Huskers unleashed a 64 percent shooting performance from the field to take game.
Sophomore guard Brian Carr stole the ball and raced the length of the court for a layup to place the Huskers on top for good at 42-11 with 13:42 left.
Malcolm Thomas paced the 10-6 Tigers with a game-high 25 points. Derrick Chivou added 16, Jeff Strong 12 and Greg Cavener 10.
Eddie Elder led Kansas State with 14 points, and Tim Alfaro added 12. Eldar also left.
Kansas State came within 3 several times before the Huskers went on a 20-11 scoring spree during the last 7 minutes.
Tickets hit $1,000 mark; Marino says "too much"
By United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — The price for a good seat inside Stanford Stadium to watch Super Bowl XIX hit the $1,000 mark was about $38.6 million; the show said that was absolutely ridiculous.
"I sure wouldn't pay that much to watch me play football," said Miami quarterback Danny Marino, who will try to finish off the game after a victory over the San Francisco 48ers.
"WHY?" MARINO ASKED. "It's on television."
As the Super bowl draws near, the
attacks on the players tickets
tickets to go right off the scale.
The fluctuation of ticket prices was
being watched as closely as the stock market.
"The price is as high as it has ever been," said one ticket broker in Los Angeles, "and there is no sign that it is going to fall.
"But, you never know, the bottom could drop out. It's like the market. People might get a little nervous as game time approaches. And if the weather should turn bad, the prices could go down in a hurry."
Column after column in area newspaper classified advertisements offered money, merchandise or services for tickets. Ticket agents said seats between the 20-yard lines were being offered — and bought — for $1,000.
Indoor track season set to open at Anschutz
Sports Writers
The Kansas men's and women's track teams will open the indoor season with the Jayhawk Invitational on Saturday at Anteater Stadium. The first intercollegiate meet in the new building.
The men will host Louisiana State in a dual meet, and the women's team will compete with the men.
The meet begins at 9 a.m. Saturday with the pentathlon. All other events begin later.
Men's head coach Bob Timmons said Tuesday that some initial problems had been worked out and the building was a welcome change from the track in Allen Field House.
"I think it will be quite an improvement over what we had." Timonions said.
"It is a super facility," she said. "It's a fast track. You can see the entire race and at Allen you couldn't. It is a big plus for our program and the University."
Carla Coffey, women's head coach, agreed with Tirminot, not said she was looking forward to the game.
Arkansas. Rice, Southern Colorado. Texas
and Louisiana State will compete in the women's meet. Coffee said Texas and Rice had finished in the top 10 nationally and would provide strong competition.
"We'll be strong in the shot-put, triple jump and pole vault." Timmons said. "We don't have depth in the distance races, but we have some quality in the mile and two-mile."
"We are really looking forward to the indoor season," Coffey said. "We are looking for good things to happen and to do a good job as the season progresses."
Timmons said his team was stronger than last year's team, which finished last in the Big Eight indoor meet and seventh in the outdoor meet.
Cross country All-America Brent Steiner, expected to do well in the distance events, has shin problems and will not compete. The 14-year-old Steiner's injury was not known at this time.
Timmons said there were some areas that needed improvement if KU was to be a factor.
"We need to improve in the middle distance races and in the hurdles," he said. "As the team rounds into condition, the longer sprint races should improve."
Timmons said the conference race should
once again be a battle between several powerful teams.
"Iowa State will be strong," Timmons said, "as will Kansas State, Oklahoma State,
Although Saturday's meet will be the first collegiate meet of the season, several individuals competed in the All-Comers meet at the sports navilion last Saturday.
Leading performers for the men were Fred Lewis, Greg Leibert, Mike Espinosa and
Lewis set a sports pavilion record in winning the triple jump with a leap of 50 feet, 1 inch. Lewis also finished eight in the long jump with a jump of 22 feet, 3 inches.
The layoff and the bad weather in some parts of the country hindered some of the
Leibert finished second in the mile run with a personal/best time of 4 minutes, 15.3 seconds, while Espinares finished second in the 60-ward hurdles in 7.6 seconds.
Also competing was former American record holder and KU standout Jeff Buckingham, who easily won the pole vault with a mark of 18 feet, $2 \frac{1}{2}$ inches.
Clint Johnson finished second in the shot-put behind Southwest Conference champion Scot Lofquitt. Johnson had a throw of 58 feet, 5½ inches.
"We are as ready for the season as we can be," Coffey said.
training of her athletes, Coffey said. But after the All-Comers meet and this week's practices, Coffey said she thought the Jayhawks would be ready.
Coffey said she thought that the AllComers meet might have given a little mental edge to those who were able to come back from the winter break early and
"It was an extra boost for the indoor season," Coffey said. "We had a good meet and the competition was good. After the team hard to tell, but I think we'll do a good job."
the pentathlon, which kicks off the Jayhawk Invitation, is part of the Big Eight championships. Many schools do not include the pentathlon in their meets, Coffey said, so the Jayhawk Invitational's pentathlon event gives the women a chance to compete in the event.
Jacia Tyma, Julie Hall and Patty Shadowins will be the oenanthelites for Kansas.
"In all the events we are looking to try and improve meet by meet," Coffey said.
