Boosters raised money for players, note reveals
HOUSTON — Boosters of the University of Houston football program raised money so former head football coach Bill Yeoman could distribute as much as $500 to players, according to a school memorandum released yesterday.
The memorandum detailing information from Baytown businessman Frank Terry conflicts with a recent report from Yeoman in which he said he occasionally gave players money for humanitarian reasons, but never more than $35.
The documents were compiled during an in-house investigation by the Houston law firm of Lidell, Sapp and Zively into allegations that Yeoman and his assistant coach paid players in violation of NCAA rules.
Yeoman, who resigned last fall after coaching the Cougars for 25 years, recently said he would have no further comment on the allegations. He now is a special assistant to university President Richard Van Horn in charge of athletic fund-raising.
Terry, who served as president of the intercollegiate athletic council for the school, is quoted in the report as saying that he could not prove any of the transactions, but said, "The coaches kept asking for $1,000 here and there."
Fine said the women did not perform well until they bowled against Missouri in their last two games of the nine-game series, recording their highest scores.
Men's bowling team places third
The Kansas bowling team finished their seasons Saturday at the Kansas-Nebraska-Missouri "Face to Face" tournament at Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, Mo.

Wichita State, which is ranked first in the nation, and Nebraska, which is ranked fifth," Fine said.
University of Kansas senior Paul King scored 11 points, leading the KU Rugby Club's top team to a 29-10 victory over the Tulsa Rugby Club on Saturday in Tulsa.
The club's collegiate team lost 33-3 to the Austin Rugby Club. Kansas' only score came off a penalty kick by Al Teben. The score was tied 3-3 at halftime.
Michael Fine, Kansas' men's and women's coach, said he was pleased with the men's performance considering the strong competition.
Jayhawk team spokesman Stiffes said the club's victory was significant because Kansas defeated an experienced Tulsa club that included three players with international experience.
The men's team placed third in the nine-team field, finishing behind first place Wichita State and runner-up Nebraska. Wichita State also won the women's tournament, beating runner-up Kansas State and Kansas, which finished sixth.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — The Boston Red Sox announced yesterday that they would fine AWOL pitcher Roger Clemens $1,000 a day starting tomorrow unless he returned to camp.
Clemens fined $1,000 a day
The Associated Press
The team said the fine would be for violation of his contract by the American League Cy Young Award winner and Most Valuable Player, who walked out of camp last week not to come to terms on a new contract.
Earlier, General Manager Lou
Gorman said "nothing has changed" in the contract talks.
Clemens cleared out his locker and left camp during practice Friday morning after the Red Sox flatly bid for $2.4 million for two years.
Instead, the Red Sox, who offered $500,000 and bonus incentives worth another $350,000, automatically previewed his contract for $450,000 for 2017.
Clemens, who led the major leagues in 1986 with a 24-4 record while pitching Boston to the pennant, earned $340,000, including $120,000 in
bonus money, for his first full season. He is not eligible for salary arbitration until he becomes a three-year man.
Gorman said he wanted to continue negotiating a contract acceptable to both parties, despite the renewal. He said the club offer was the same.
Clemens could not be reached for comment. There were conflicting reports that he was at his condominium in a resort community in Tampa, about 60 miles from Winter Haven.

Correction
Because of a reporter's error, the name of Sophie Rodriguez, a pitcher for the women's softball team, was misspelled in Friday's issue of the Kansas.
Van Slyke, who had only a .195 batting mark against left-handed pitchers in 1986, homered off Detroit southpaw Morris Madden. He doubled off Eric King in the seventh.
