Johnsburg girl thinclads fall to South JOHNSBURG - The girls' track team at Johnsburg High School had a rough go of it in the first outing of the year, taking se­ cond in a triangular meet.

Tulane turmoil continues By ROB GLOSTER UPI sports writer • NEW ORLEANS - The presi­ dent of Tulane University said Thursday he would recommend the school abolish its scandai- tainted basketball program and announced the resignations of three coaches who allegedly made cash payments to players. • President Eamon Kelly's an­ nouncement came only hours before a grand jury was expected tor return indictments in a point- shaving scandal which struck the private school last week. : Tulane's own investigation turn­ ed up evidence that head coach Ned Fowler and two assistants paid players in violation of NCAA rules, Kelly said at a news con­ ference. He would not say how much money changed hands. • Kelly and District Attorney Harry Connick emphasized the payments made by the coaches had nothing to do with the alleged point shaving in two Metro Con­ ference games in February. * Kelly said he would ask the School's board of administrators to do away with the men's basket­ ball program permanently and that he expected little opposition when the board meets April 18. "The only way I know to demonstrate unambiguously this academic communi ty ' s in ­ tolerance of the violations and ac­ tions we have uncovered is to discontinue the program in which they originated," Kelly said. Fowler, whose team was 15-13 this season, and assistants Mike Richardson and Max Pfeifer, resigned Thursday just hours before they were called to testify before the grand jury. Senior guard Bobby Thompson, charged with bribery along with NBA prospect John "Hot Rod" Williams and sophomore David Dominique, appeared before the panel prior to Fowler. A trio of Tulane fraternity brothers and two suspected New Orleans bookmakers have also been charged. Thompson was not granted im­ munity for his testimony. Connick said two other players, who testified last week, had been granted immunity -- senior for­ wards Clyde Eads and Jon Johnson. Thompson reportedly told pro­ secutors he lined up the four other players to shave points in games against Southern Mississippi and Memphis State in return for cash and drugs. Connick would not comment on Thompson ' s testimony to the grand jury. Kelly said abolishing inter­ collegiate basketball at Tulane was "a very difficult step for me personally and a very difficult time for the university. I think it's critical that we do reaffirm the university's primary mission as an academic institution." Tulane will honor its basketball players' athletic scholarships, he said. Tulane students who heard the news said they were disappointed in Kelly's decision. "It's very unfortunate, but I guess from Dr. Kelly's point of view we're here first for an educa­ tion," one student told WDSU-TV. "I really think it's stupid," said another, "becahse the basketball team supplied the school with most of the spirit we've had all year. Everybody went to those big games (in which point shaving is alleged), and it was the best part of the whole year." Volleyball officials wanted Interested in officiating volleyball? Then you're desperately needed. A s p r i n g - s u m m e r volleyball league, which will be held at the Oak Park Hotel on Pistakee Bav, is in need of officials for tne 1985 season. The league' is slated to begin play in early May. Game nights are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, beginning at 7 p.m. For more information, contact Tom Fuchs at 385- 9872.
