Coleman to practice with team
United Press International
MANHATTAN, Kan. — A Kansas state athletic official yesterday said the NCAA gave permission to basketball player Norris Coleman to join the Wildcat team for practices, despite his ineligibility to play.
Lee Moon, associate athletic director at Kansas State, said NCAA legislative assistant Steve Horton contacted him Monday to say Coleman could participate in basketball practices, which began yesterday.
Coleman and his attorney, Jeffrey Schemel of Topeka, were scheduled to appear before a federal judge in Topeka yesterday to seek a temporary restraining order to block the National Collegiate Athletic Association's ruling last winter that prevented Coleman from practicing with the team.
Schemmel said he canceled the hearing after learning the NCAA's position. Coleman was the country's leading Division 1 freshman scorer last year.
Both Schemnel and Moon said they were surprised to learn of the decision because both interpreted last winter's ruling to mean Coleman, 24, could neither play nor practice with the Wildcats until Feb. 27, 1987.
"There's no question about it," Schemmel said. "I reviewed the decision yesterday and it clearly states in the initial ruling that he could not practice" or play.
Schemmel said he contacted the NCAA Monday and was told the original ruling never intended to stop Coleman from practicing with the team. He said the NCAA indicated that it understood that if Coleman was to begin playing next February, he must be in shape.
A spokeswoman for the NCAA in Mission said she could not comment on the matter because she had no information on it.
Schemmel declined to say what Coleman's next step would be.
"Obviously he wants to play, but as to what our next course of action is, I don't know," the attorney said. "We'll have to reassess what's happened so far."
The NCAA Eligibility Committee ruled near the end of last season that Coleman was ineligible during his freshman year of playing because his high school transcript did not meet academic requirements. It ordered the forward to sit out at Kansas State the same length of time he played in 1985-86, or transfer to another school to play basketball.
Coleman, who was named the Big Eight Newcomer of the Year last season, chose to stay at Kansas State.
METS

ner of Game Two, will pitch for New York and left-hander Bob Knepper, who beat the Mets three times during the regular season, will pitch for the Astros.
Entering the 12th inning,
Houston starter Nolan Ryan had retired 14 consecutive Mets hits with relief help from Kerfeld.
For nine innings the game featured one of the classic duels of power pitchers in postseason history as Ryan, 39, and the Mets' Gooden, 21, batted each other toe to toe.
Ryan, benefiting from an extra day of rest because of Monday's rainstain, was masterful. He allowed only two hits — one a solo homer by Daryl Strawberry that tied the score at 1-1 in the fifth and struck out 12 before leaving for a pinch hitter in the 10th.
Gooden wasn't quite as overpowering but was tough in the clutch. The fastballing righthander scattered nine hits, struck out four and walked two before being relieved after 10 innings by Orosco
It marked the first time in his three-year major-league career that Gooden had gone more than nine innings. It also was the first time a Met starter had gone more than nine innings since Mike Torrez in 1983.
If not for a questionable call at first base by umpire Fred Brocklander in the second inning, the Astros might have put the game away in nine innings. Craig Reynolds appeared to have beaten the relay on a double-play attempt with runners on first and third, but Brocklander called him out for the third out and the Mets got out of the inning.
A baserunning blunder by Bill
Doran also pulled Gooden out of a jam in the eighth. Doran was doubled off second base to end the inning.
The Astros had baserunners in each of the first three innings against Gooden but couldn't push a run across until the fifth.
Alan Ashby, who had struck out in the second with runners at first and third, doubled to iead off the fifth and moved to third when Reynolds punched a single into left field.
After Ryan bunted into a force play, Daron hit what appeared to be a tailor-made double-play grounder at second baseman Backman. However, Backman juggled the ball momentarily then threw high to shortstop Rafael Santana at second and Doran barely beat the return throw to first as Ashby scored.
Ryan was devastating over the first four innings, striking out two batters in each inning and retiring 12 batters in a row.
But in the fifth, he started to get behind the hitters and began to show signs of tiring. After retiring leadoff batter Carter, Ryan went to 3-0 on Strawberry then got a called strike from plate umpire 'Cowboy' Joe West that Strawberry thought was ball four. After taking another strike, Strawberry fouled off a pitch then drilled the next pitch on a line over the fence just inside the right field foul pole for a game-tying homer.
Strawberry's homer was his second of the series, and both have dramatically tied the score. He hit a three-run blast in Game Three to tie the score in a game the Mets eventually won 6-5 in the ninth inning on Lenny Dykstra's two-run homer.
