HOUSTON (AP) - Greg Kite
is all set to attend a basketball
camp in California next month,
but the Madison High School
star won’t know until next
Wednesday whether be can do
so without affecting his senior
year eligibility.
U.S. District Judge Finis
Cowan heard testimony all day
Tuesday in a suit filed by the 16-
year-old’s father against a 15-
year-old ruling by the Uni-
versity Athletic League that
prohibits high school football
and basketball players from at-
tending such camps.
Kite’s suit seeks a temporary
restraining order that would al-
low his 6-foot-11 son to attend
the Super Stars camp in San
Diego without losing his last
year of high school eligibility.
Hitless through three innings against Cowboy pitcher
Allen, the Studs erupted for two runs in the fourth when Scott
Lancaster’s one-out triple was followed by run-scoring
singles by Kirk Chastain and Craig Clements.
It stayed 3-2 until the sixth when Loyd Clippinger singled.
Scott Lancaster doubled and both scored on Jones' base hit
that accounted for the tying and winning runs.
Jones allowed six hits — only one after the third — and
struck out seven. He walked three Cowboys.
Allen gave up six hits, and all led to Stud runs. He struck
out 13 and didn't walk a batter. Lancaster led the Stud attack
with a triple, double and two runs. Williams collected three of
the six Cowboy hits.
The Rangers, floored by a 17-8 count
on Monday's opener, bounced back with
a 6-5 victory over the Saints Tuesday,
forcing a third game in the best-of-three
series to determine a city junior
teenage baseball champion.
Also a stake in tonight’s rubber
match will be a berth in next week’s
district tournament, also ticketed for
Camp Bowie sports center.
Game three, originally scheduled for
Tuesday, has been moved to tonight
because of state rules, according to
Brownwood Teenage Baseball Asm.
president Don Clements. League
champions must be certified by tonight.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. in the senior
park at Camp Bowie.
Tuesday’s decisive blow was a two-
run sixth-inning homer by Pat Mooney
that rubbed out a 54 Saint lead. Mooney
also pitched five strong innings for the
Rangers before being relieved by Tim
Oehrlein in the sixth.
Robert Aldridge’s double ahead of
singles by David Carroll and John
Barton shot the Rangers into a 1-0 first-
inning lead. Aldridge’s single and a pair
of Saint errors made it 2-0 in the top of
the third before the Saints struck for
three runs in the same inning on four
walks and Derik Todd’s double.
It stayed 3-2 until the fifth when both
teams struck for two runs. A walk, a hit
batsman, Bill Donahoe’s run-scoring
single and a balk chased in the Ranger
runs. The Saints retaliated on RBI
doubles by Blaine Daniel and Mark
Crawford.
That set the stage for Mooney, who
followed a sixth-inning walk to Jeff
Stroope with his game-deciding
homerun. The Saints got the potential
tying run as far as third in the sixth
inning when Oehrlein struck out the
side.
Aldridge was the only player in the
game with two hits. He also scored
three times while Carroll, Barton and
Donahoo all contributed base hits.
Daniel, Crawford and Todd had the only
Saint hits off Mooney.
Saint pitcher Erasmo Gonzales
allowed six hits.
The Studs will represent Brownwood in the state senior
teenage baseball tournament here next month, thanks to
Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over the Cowboys. The come-from-
behind decision also clinched the city championship for the
Studs, who had won Monday night's opener of a best-of-three
playoff, 14-6
Tuesday's victory wasn’t so easy. Nathan Allen's three-run
homer in the third inning staked the Cowboys to a 3-0 lead and
the Studs didn’t break out on top until the sixth when Larry
Jones' two-run single rubbed out a 3-2 deficit.
Jones pitched six standout innings for the Studs, weakening
only in the third when Allen slammed his homer behind
singles by Derwin Williams and Kevin Smith.
BASEBALL
STANDINGS
The suit maintains the UIL
ruling deprives Kite of his right
to pursue a professional basket-
ball career.
The ban does not apply to in-
dividual sports like tennis and
golf.
Cowan called for final cita-
tions from attorneys next Tues-
day and said he would hear final
arguments the following af-
ternoon.
In a companion suit, Boston
Celtics star Dave Cowens is
seeking an injunction against
the league, claiming restraint of
trade because the UIL rule
restricts the possibility of at-
tracting young athletes of all
ages to his summer camp in
Brenham, Texas.
Dr. Rhea Williams, retired
director of the UIL, testified the

reasons for the rule — which
applies only to football and
basketball — was intended to
insure equalized competition in
the face of what he termed
overemphasis by some schools
on football and basketball
"If you haven't lived in Texas
then you have no idea of what
went on in football,” Williams
said. “There was wholesale
recruiting between towns and
as a result of the overemphasis,
the rule came about. It helped
put the emphasis back on
education.”
UIL director Bailey Marshall
testified that allowing high
school basketball and football
players to attend such camps
would be unfair to those who
could not afford the cost.
