The governing body passed a proposal to include individuals as well as member schools in the legislation allowing the as-siciation's Board of Control or executive director to levy penalties for unsporstmanlike conduct The penalities approved include reprimand, probation or suspension from participation for one or more contests.

NSAA Executive Director Jim Riley said the proposal, which now must pass a referendum vote of the member schools before it can be enacted, would help clarify the situa-tioa "There was a tendency to avoid penalties that would affect the entire school or he told the 47-member assembly. "This allows us to isolate the individual guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct instead of punishing the entire team." UNSPORSTMANLIKE CONDUCT, as defined in the group's bylaws, includes "physical or verbal assault upon any participant, game-official or spectator, or any acts which may endanger the personal safety of individuals involved, or acts which hinder the normal progress of a contest or lead to the restriction or discontinuance of a contest" In other business, the Representative Assembly approved two changes in the bylaws governing all activities concerning i-riaay Chicago Tribune, and Jordan Jordan said he didn't know if his agent and attor-ney had negotiated a new pact.

"We're still in the top 10 so we can't complain about that" NU coach Cal Bentz said. "We knew it was going to be a tough fight from the start, but it's better to be fighting to stay in there than to be fighting to get into the top 10 on the last day, that's for sure. "We're doing the things we have to do at this point in the meet All in all, we've been staying the same or moving up following qualifying. Our guys are continuing to better school records and many guys are bettering their personal bests and as long as we can continue to do that we'll stay in there."

Brown was giving no indication. In another statement released through his sports information office, Brown said, "I'm committed to these kids and I'm staying.

In a televised interview later Friday evening Brown said, "To be honest with you, I wanted to be the coach at UCLA, but circumstances changed that" Brown said that UCLA's offer was better than he had expected, and that he had not sat down with his athletic director to talk about a new contract. Brown had given every indication that he was taking the UCLA job, to the point of asking people in the basketball office to call a meeting of the UCLA players for 11 a.m. Saturday, an hour before the planned press conference.

Athletic Director Pete Dalis was in his office all afternoon, getting on with the business of finding a new basketball coach. Jim Harrick of Pepperdine, a former UCLA assistant coach, and Paul West-head of Loyola Marymount are still being mentioned. But Dalis preferred to make no comment saying only that there were several candidates under consideration, and that he wanted to fill the position as soon as possible. Check the lire ads.

But I made some unbelieveable pars seven in a row. I could have been 4 or 5 over par. There were some great chips and putts in that stretch."

This place forces you to focus because if you go to sleep for a minute, it's (bogey, bogey, double bogey) and you're out of the tournament" Does anybody know where Calcavecchia and his aching shoulder can get a good massage?
