West Virginia athletic director calls for fan restraint at games
By United Press International
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia athletic director Fred Schaus appealed yesterday to Mountaineer fans to restrain themselves, to avoid injury and to keep a reputation of being rowdy.
Schaus asked the media in a telephone conference call to help spread the word to fans to calm down before more people were hurt.
The athletic director spoke out in the wake of the celebration that erupted at the conclusion of WVU's 21-20 victory Saturday over Boston College, then ranked No. 4. Fans rushed onto the field and tore down a goalpost. An official holding the yard markers on the sidelines in front of the east stands was knocked out when struck by a full beer can, apparently thrown from the stands, Schauss said.
The official, Robert Perlman of Morgantown, was treated at a
hospital but not admitted.
Before Schaus' conference call, the sports information office announced that the no-container policy for Mountainer Field would be "strictly enforced at upcoming games." The next game will be against marked Penn State, a team which 14th-ranked West Virginia has not defeated since 1955.
The no-container policy prohibits fans from carrying hard containers, like coolers, cans and bottles into Mountaineer Field.
Schaus said he had received telephone calls from officials, supervisors and Penn State officials over reports of incidents at the Boston College game. The athletic director called "some of the reports coming out of Boston partly accurate and partly inaccurate."
to get a reputation for fans that does not go along with the class act by coach (Don Nehlen and the players," Schaus said. "What we have to have is fans realize they are hurting the school's football reputation. We have the reputation of the university and the state at stake here."
The official knocked down in the end zone on John Gay's winning touchdown run collided with a fan in the second half to regainmate Gay, according to Schaus.
The athletic director said he had a call from Jim Tarman, the Penn State athletic director, who expressed apprehension about the reports of conduct at the Boston College game.
schaus said the crackdown on the no-container policy should "curtail the possibility of having missiles up there to throw."
"He suggested they might bring some Pennsylvania state police with them."
"I am concerned that we are going
But Schaus said, "You can't bring in enough security" to control 60,000 fans.
"It really concerns me," he said,
"because the word is going to get around that our fans are rowdy."
