Grand slam, no-hitter
highlight youth baseball
Paterno, coaches' group
study college recruiting
By HERSCHELNISSENSON
AP Sports Writer
DALLAS (AP) - Vince
Dooley, head football coach at
the University of Georgia, says
coaches in his part of the
country would like to see in-
person recruiting allowed only
in the months of December,
January and February, as well
as one signing date for all
conferences. , ,
Dooley made his remarks
Friday at the opening session of
the fourth annual meeting of the
College Football Association
during a panel discussion on “A
Common Sense Approach to
Recruiting.”
A group of major college
coaches, chaired by Peru*
State’s Joe Paterno, was to
meet in closed session Saturday
to come up with specific
recommendations in an attempt
to curb recruiting abuses.
Paterno will issue a report
today during the CFA’s general
business session.
Delegates from almost all of
the CFA’s 60 member schools —
all big-time football institutions
— are attending these
meetinngs, which are con-
sidered the most important in
the group’s five-year history.
The CFA was formed to
provide a forum for major
football colleges within the
framework of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association.
For the first time, the
organization has a full-time
executive director in Charles
M. Neinas, former com-
missioner of the Big Eight
Conference.
In other developments at
Friday’s opening session, the
Rev. Edmund P. Joyce,
executive vice president of the
University of Notre Dame, said
that eliminating all the abuses
in college football will be “a
very bur.densome, if not im-
possible, chore,” while Jim
Spence, senior vice president of
ABC Sports, made a pitch for
fevyer, but more selective,
games on television.
' • Dooley suggested what he
called a “calendar concept
rule” to help curb recruiting
abuses. He suggested no travel
and no campus visits, either by
prospects or coaches, in June
and July; evaluation but no
contact from August through
November; three visits to a
prospect’s home but unlimited,
though prearranged, contact at
the high school from December
through February and
evauation but no contact from
March through May.
He also recommended a one-
week no-contact cooling-off
period before a uniform signing
date for all conferences. The
current conference signing
dates range from December to
February.
Father Joyce told the
delegates that while he once
considered recruiting abuses
and academic cheating to have
pervaded only a small portion
of the college football picture,
he is now “both disappointed
and disillusioned" by the recent
scandals involving fraudulent
transcripts and phony credits.
“We have a long way to go to
assure academic respectability
for college football,” he said,
“but I think we have a good
chance of rising to the challenge
confronting us.
“The game has such a strong
hold on the American people
that it will be difficult to in-
stitute reform. College
presidents don’t want to rock
the boat. They seem willing to
try and weather the storm.
Meaningful reforms will come
about only if college ad-
ministrators make it a matter
of conscience that athletes
won’t be exploited. It will take
more than rhetoric.”
McEnroe upset in four
hour French marathon
ByPAULCHUTKOW
Associated Press Writer
PARIS (AP) - When he was
good, he was very, very good,
but when he was bad, John
McEnroe was horrid. And an
even-tempered Australian
named Paul McNamee made
him pay dearly" for it.
McNamee, a scrappy 26-year-
old right-hander who simply
refused to be beaten, ousted
second seeded McEnroe 7-6,6-7,
7-6, 7-6 Friday in a stunning
upset at the 1980 French Open
tennis championships.
“I knew I had a good chan-
ce,” McNamee said after
winning the fourth tie-breaker
game in the 4-hour 18-minute
match.
"I was always mentally
strong. There was no point
when I felt the match was
swinging against me. In fact, I
felt I was getting a little
stronger.”
McEnroe’s defeat
dramatically changed the
battle to keep Bjorn Borg from
winning his fifth French crown.
Barring more upsets, Borg’s
major rivals will be No.3 seed
Jimmy Connors and No.4
Guillermo Vilas of Argentina.
Apart from Borg, Vilas has
been the most impressive so far
this year on the slow courts of
Roland Garros Stadium, where
he has shown the kind of con-
sistent, aggressive form that
brought himjhe Italian title last
Sunday/
He whipped Brazil’s Thomas
Koch bn Friday 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
Connors settled down after a
scare this week from Fren-
chman Jean-Francois Caujolle
and defeated Antonio Zugarelli
of Italy 6-4, 7-5, 7-5 in another
match Friday.
Vitas Gerulaitis, Chile’s Hans
Gildemeister and Poland’s
Wojtek Fibak also advanced to
the final 16 of this two-week
tournament, as did France’s
Yannick Noah. Runnerup to
Vilas in Rome, Noah proved too
strong for Eliot Teltscher of the
United States, winning 6-3, 6-0,
7-6.
French fans, turning out in
record numbers at newly ex-
panded and refurbished Roland
Garros, have been going wild
for Noah, who will meet Con-
nors today in what promises to
be one of the great matches of
this tournament.
With Tracy Austin, Martina
Navratilova and Evonne
Goolagong Cawley skipping
Paris, the women’s competition
has been fairly lackluster, with
defending champion Chris
Evert Lloyd so far facing little
challenge. She made short work
on Friday of Pam Teeguarden
6-1, 6-1.
Hana Mandilkova of
Czechoslovakia eliminated
Roselyn Fairbank of South
Africa, 6-1, 6-2 and advanced to
the final 16 with Virginia Wade
of Great Britain, Kathy Jordan
of the United States and
Australia’s Diane Fromholtz.
In the day’s biggest match,
McEnroe at times did not seem
to be concentrating very well
and he was clearly un-
comfortable on the slow clay
courts. But when he was good.
He was often brilliant.
In the fourth set, down two
sets to one, he jumped to a 4-1
lead, his tricky left-handed
serve becoming steadier. But in
the sixth game, McEnroe failed
to win a single point on his own
serve, and he hardly looked like
the world’s second best tennis
player.
Home runs, extra-base hits, a
no-hitter and a fireballing
pitcher named Mike McCaffrey
were the talk of Hopkins County
Farm league baseball action
Friday night while the little
League's Banks Co. edged
Western Stbre and Pratt
Packing whipped Royal Inn.
Elsewhere around the loop,
Minor League's Skillerns
slipped by Wells Grocery by one
in the bottom of the seventh,
NETEX bombed Roto Rooter
and Rockwell defeated Mount
Vernon on the road in Pony
League games.
In the early game at the
Farm League fieid, Sulphur
Springs Livestock turned back
Pratt Packing 8-3 behind the
pitching of Jon Robbins with
five strikeouts and Harold
Sims, also with five and a grand
slam blast by Steve Jackson in
the first to get the ball rolling,
but it was McCaffrey and his J
& R Tire Co. crew who started
the crowd buzzing with a 23-0
rout of First National Bank in
game number two.
McCaffrey rolled up 11
strikeouts while blanking First
National with a no-hitter and his
teammates scored heavily in
the first three frames to put the
game out of reach. Leading the
J & R hitters were McCaffrey
with a single and two doubles;
Tony DeBoe, two doubles and a
single; Danny Wade, single;
James Wright, single; Robert
Hooten, single; and Gary
Pogue, double and single.

Kuhn gives Cubans
green light to play
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -
Professional baseball clubs
finally have the green light
from Commissioner Bowie
Kuhn to sign players from
among the thousands of
refugees recently arrived from
Cuba.
But it’s not known yet how
many Cubans will be sought by
the big leagues, Kuhn said
Friday night as he watched the
opening round of the College
World Series.
“I really have no idea how
many quality players there
might be among (the
refugees),” Kuhn said. “I
haven’t had any feedback on the
clubs to help me make any
estimate at all.”

NBA committee outlines
changes for Board vgte
By ALEXSACHARE
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The
three-point goal, a popular
success in its trial run during
the 1979-80 National Basketball
Association season, is on the
verge of becoming a permanent
feature of the pro game.
The league’s Competition and
Rules Committee, acting on the
urging of NBA coaches and
general managers, voted to
recommend to the Board of
Governors that the three-point
goal rule — awarding three
points for shots made from
beyond an arc that ranges from
22 feet to 23 feet, 6 inches from
the basket — be kept on a
permanent basis.
The move came Friday at the
final session of the annual
summer meetings of NBA
coaches and general managers.
The final decision will be up to
the Board of Governors, one
representative (usually an
owner) of each of the 23 NBA
franchises, which begins its
summer meetings Tuesday in
Coronado, Calif.
In another major action, the
Competition and Rules Com-
mittee chose to table a motioi
to return to the use
overall program for the
recruitment and development
of officials. We don’t want to put
the cart before the horse.”
As part of this effort, the
recommendation was made for
increasing the NBA’s
recruitment and development
of officials. This would be in
conjunction with "renewing and
expanding the NBA’s contract
with the Continental Basketball
Association,” said Colangelo,
with that minor league being
used as a developmental place
for officials as well as players
and a testing gound for rules
changes and new equipment.
“We want to be able to look
people in the eye and say,
‘We’re ready for three officials.
We’ve got the people who can
get the job done,”’ said Joe
Axelson, the NBA’s director of
operations.
That might not be enough to
satisfy the referees’ union. If
the board, which' voted out the
third official last summer, also
decides to table the question of
restoring the third official, it
could lead to a major con-
frontation.
The NBA officials’ contract
a motion/with the league expired at the
of three end of the playoffs earlier this
camps and the exhibition
season.
"We also recommended that
a committee be formed to look
into the drug problem, if there
is one,” added Colangelo. “We
don’t want this to be taken in an
alarmist way. But we are aware
that drugs are a problem in our
society, we can’t be oblivious to
that fact and we want the NBA
to take the initiative in this
area.”
Most of the 10 recommended
rules changes were minor. The
most significant of those dealt
with the placement of red lights
above the backboards that
would be coordinated with the
game clock (as hockey’s goal
lights are) to provide a visual
aid as to when playing time
expires, and elimination of the
word “injury" from the 20-
second timeouts to avoid their
abuse. Each team would now
get one 20-second timeout per
half to use whenever it wants,
which should eliminate the
phantom injuries that crept into
NBA games in recent seasons.

Fritsch divorce
suit called off
referees per game, which had
been tried during the 1978-79
season but dropped last sum-
mer.
“The coaches, general
managers and the Competition
and Rules Committee a)l
believe in the concept of three
officials, but the problem is
we’re not quite ready,” said
committee chairman Jerry
Colangelo, general manager of
ttie Phoenix Suns.
“We need to develop an
month, and union leader Richie
Phillips had said earlier that a
return to three-man refereeing
crews would be one of his key
demands in negotiations for a

DALLAS (AP) — Attorneys
for Toni and Helga Fritsch gave
no reason why Mrs. Fritsch
dropped a divorce suit she filed
the day after Fritsch was in-
volved in a fatal car accident.
“I moved to dismiss the suit
because my client asked me
to,” Clifford Weinstein, Mrs.
Fritsch’s lawyer, said Friday.
He declined to say more.
Mrs. Fritsch initiated divorce
proceedings on May 28, asking
custody of the couple’s two
children — Hans Markus, 14,
and Melissa Alexandria, 8 —
and $2,000 monthly child sup-
port and temporary support
payments.
On May 27, Fritsch’s
Volkswagen went out of control
on a north Dallas freeway,
jumped the median and
smashed into an oncoming car.
Nelda Burks, who was the lone
passenger in the Volkswagon,
was killed.
The divorce petition alleged
that on that day, the Fritchs
ceased to live together as man
and wife.
Mrs. Fritsch dropped the suit
on May 30. Peter Chantilis,
Fritsch’s attorney, said it was
not-at all unusual for divorce
petitions to be filed and dropped
within two days.
The dismissal order, signed
by Judge Annette Stewart,
notes that the action was
dismissed “without prejudice,”
which means that it can be
refiled later.
Court costs of the suit and
dismissal will be paid by Mrs.
Fritsch.
