SPORTS

All-Americans for
basketball named

With the start of the 1988-89 col-
lege basketball season only a few
hours away. it is time to announce
Reeves's preseason All-American
team.

This team probably will change
between the start and the end of
the season, The team was not cho»
sen on the basis of posnion alone

FIRST TEAM:

Danny Ferry. Duke University.
(HO senior forward. Ferry could be
the most rounded talent in college
basketball since Larry Bird l-‘erry
can play inside. out.5ide or even
play pomt guard.

J.R. Reid. University of North
Carolina. 6-9 junior power forward
Reid is as powerful on the inside as
anybody Reid has a nice touch
from lflSlde 15 feet Reid had a dis
apointing Olympics. but Dean
Smith was not the coach

Stacey King. University of ()kla
homa. 6-10 senior center King is
virtually unstoppable on the inside
He is the top—rated center in the
country because of his tremendous
rebounding ability and his ability
to run the floor. King was very in
strumental to Oklahoma‘s Final
Four match last season

Sean Elliott. L7niver8ity of Arizo-
na. f‘r8 senior forward Elliott was
one of the premiere players in mi
lege basketball last season and
should again be on the top, Without
the help he had last year. Elliott
should become the main scoring
threat for Lute ()lson's team

Sherman Douglas. Syracuse l’ni
versity. 6-0 senior pomt guard
Douglas made everyone in the t‘ar-
rier Dome forget about the
“Pearl" as soon as he hit the floor
Douglas is definitely the best point
guard in the nation Douglas loves
to be pressed by the opposmg
teams. He also can shoot the three-
pointer if defenses lay off him

SECOND TEAM:

Lionel Simmons. LaSalle l'niver-
sity. 6-6 junior small forward Sim
mons does not get much attention
from the media. but he sure does
from the NBA scouts Simmons
may be the second coming of M;
chael Jordon. The ability is sure
there

Todd Lichti, Stanford l'niversity
64 senior shooting guard Lichti ‘.\
the best pure shooter in the college

 

Barry
REEVES

game Lichti can sink the three
pointer with the best of them

by ron \ix. University of Tennes-
see. of senior forward Nix can
beat a team all by himself \ix is
strong in all facets of his game He
can rebound and shoot from 15 feet
in with the best iii the college
game.

Ken "\louse" McFadden. t‘lcve»
land Statt- l'niversity. or] senior
point guard. McFadden impressed
me with his play in the NCAA tour~
nament two seasons ago McFad-
den is a \cry good hall handler and
can shoot the thi‘eerpointcr

Mark \lacon. Temple l'nivci‘sity.
of) sophomore guard Macon re-
minds the a lot of Rex t‘hapman.
Macon can take control of a game
and not let go When 'nc going got
rough last season. Temple looked
to get the ball into Macon‘s hands

TIlIRllTl-lvkhl

l’eriis Ellison. l'nivci‘sity of

roics in the 1986 \(‘AA tournament
in his freshman season What ev-
erybody doesn‘t know is that l-Illi~
son has improved f‘\l'l‘\ vcaii de-
spite nagging initirics

Jeff \lartin. Murray State ['nl'
\ersity, 8-7 senior forward Martin
was the key to Murrays success
last season when they upset North
(‘arohna Stale l'niversity in the
\(‘A\ Tournament and should
h‘cnt' upset Kansa» l'niversny
\lartin can do it all shoot with two
men in his face. rebound handle
the ball in pressure and lll' three
pointers with regularity

\lookie Blaylock lVf‘l‘in‘l‘Sll“. of
Oklahoma. Mt senior point guard
Blaylock is a quality point guard
who can shoot the hall Hts value
will prohahly rise during the sea

Pride on the line
for the SEC teams

By CHRIS HARVEY
Staff Writer

As if the Southeastern Confer-
ence race didn‘t produce enough
thrills last week in football, this
week will be just as exciting as in«
tense rivalries will heat up

Alabama. fresh off its oblitera-
tion of the Southwest Louisiana
Ragin Cajuns last week. will turn
its attention to another feather
the Auburn War Eagles. This an-
nual grudge match has more than
just a “W“ riding on it State pride
isatstake.

For the Tide. a victory would
mean sweet revenge after last
year‘s 10-0 blanking to the Eagles.

Alabama Coach Bill (‘urry re
members the loss Vividly.

“Our men played their hearts
out, but Auburn made the plays a
champion is supposed to make.”
Curry said. “Even though we are
going to a bowl. we still want to
beat Auburn."

As in most rivalries. you can
throw out the records when these
two take the field Saturday

But Auburn may have a little
extra incentive in this year‘s game.
as an SEC title could be riding on
theoutcome

A victory would lie the Eagles
with LSl' for the SEt‘ title and a
chance for a Sugar Bowl berth. De~
feat would mean no championship

Kentucky saw its dream of a
bowl game turn into a nightmare
last Saturday at (‘ommonwealth
Stadium. as Florida had howl
thoughts of its own in downing the
Cats.24~19

UK coach Jerry t‘laiborne
Shouldn‘t have to \toi‘rj. about his
team staying down as they travel
to Knoxville to meet archrnal Ten-
nessee.

“Tennessee is a great traditional
game that is one of the oldest in in-
tercollegiate football. (‘laiborne
said, “We'll have a chance at a
winning season so the ball game is
very big for us '

The (‘ats had a chance to upset
the Vols last year. but the Volun-
teers‘ goaHinc defense kept then-
Wildcat running back Mark Higgs
out of the end7onc after four tries
late in the contest to allow Ten-

 

SEC

NOTEBOOK

nesse to hold on to the victory. But
Claiborne feels that revenge won't
even be a factor.

"Some of the guys on this year's
team didn‘t even play against Tenv
nessee last year," he said. "Last
year‘s game is last year, so we're
going to focus on this year‘s game
and what we must do to win."

Tennessee. which has won three
straight since coming up on the
short end in their first six games.
sees UK as one of‘ the toughest
obstacles this season.

“We expect a physical game
from Kentucky." UT coach Johnny
Majors said. ”This will be the best
team we‘ve faced since Alabama "

Even though Tennessee has won
the last four meetings with Ken»
lucky. they know not to turn their
noses down at the Cats. especially
not in the times the UT program is
facing.

“We have had a healthy respect
for Kentucky over the years." Ma
jors said, ”No team in the country
has suffered the tough losses that
Kentucky has. so we have to be
ready."

LSL' is still in the fight for the
conference title and can go a long
way in turning the Sugar Bowl
Committee's heads with a victory
over Tiger Coach Mike Archer's
alma mater. Miami

The game brings on special
meaning for Archer. as he coached
on the defensive side of the ball at
Miami during their championship
year of 1983. His boss at Miami
then was University of Louisville
head coach Howard Schnellenberg-
er.

“I'd be lying if the game with
Miami didn’t mean something to
me. but for 60 minutes on Satur
day. l have no ties with Miami,"
Archer said

 

 

 

The LSl' coaching staff is warn
ing their Tigers about the explo»
Siveness of Jimmy Johnson‘s Hurr
ricanes

 

It’s so hot

Special Olympics get special helping hand
Biondi drawn to Olympics
through his aunt’s work

By ELIZABETH WADE
Assignment Editor

Matt Biondi is turning his gold
medals into cash these days,

The four-time All-American
swimmer and three~time world re<
cord holder who took five gold
medals at the Seoul ()lympics this
summer is touring the country,
speaking. signing autographs and
instructing, trying to keep his head
abovewater.

“As you all can imagine, things
have been pretty upside down for
me since the Olympics,“ he said.
“I‘ve been traveling quite a bit and
honestly I realize that l have a job
to do. and that is to try to spread
as much good as I can all around. "

Yesterday. Biondi spoke on be
half of the Special Olympics in
Lexington

The Special Olympics is opening
a new Outreach Program spon-
sored by Calumet Farm. The pro
grain is geared to increase aware
ness of Special Olympics and get
more people lll\()l\'(‘(l in the pro
gram

(‘aluniet Farm will donate pro-
ceeds raised from four seasons of
the champion sire. Alydar, to the
Kentucky Special Olympics

Biondi. good will aside. still has
to pay the bills. and for amateur
athletes. he said. that sometimes
can be tough

"I look at this as a iob." he said
‘lt is not an income ticket, but I
am trying to support myself fiiiaii
cially and I think that is where am
ateur athletics need to go '

Biondi got llt\'(tl\'t‘(l \‘tllll projects
for the liandicapiml because of his
aunt. .loaiiii Biondi. Mm taught dis
ablcd children at the t'iiiyersity of

t‘alitoriiia at ltei‘kelm That was

enough to interest the young ath-
lete.

”I used to go visit her classes,
and l have never seen so many
kids have so much fun," Biondi
said. "I think it's a great thing and
I just wanted to help out."

Although the financial strain of
being an amateur athlete is strong,
Biondi said he would still be com-
peting. “There is no government
support, so athletes have to make
their own way," he said. “(Speak~
mg) is one way to do it and I may
do well enough not to have to get a
job until after the next Olympics.
and that will be helpful for water
polo.”

Biondi said he is giving up swim-
ming for water polo. He said that
the team concept of the sport at-
tracted him.

"Swimming is over with," he
said, "I miss activity and I miss
exercise. but I get that playing basv
ketball."

Biondi. who was invited to play
on the ['8 national water polo
team this year, said he would like
to begin playing at the end of the
fall He also said he hopes he will
be selected to play on the 1992 LS
()lympic water polo team.

Swimming, which is a very posi
tire and individualized sport to
Biondi. is very different from
water polo

"ln water polo the coach may
say. ”Blah. blah. blah. Biondi you
knou you are the worst player I've
e\er seen.‘ ” he said “They give
you a lot of verbal abuse and rag
on you, but they still want to make
you a better player "

\lthoiigh coaching would be one
nay for Biondi to stick with the
sport he lows and at the same

VIEWPOINT

Changes are needed
in the way voters
may be registered

The 1988 presidential election saw a record low number
of people cast votes for the presidential candidates. it
would seem odd that during a time when voter turnout is
so low. voter registration restrictions should be tightened.
But an incident on campus this semester illustrates the
need to change some of the ways people are allowed to reg-
ister voters,

This semester. the Student Government Association.
College Republicans and College Democrats held voter
registration drives In addition to setting up booths in the
Student (‘entcr each group registered students in the dor»
mitories.

Freshman Dan Miller. a member of the College Repub-
licans. was one of the people who registered students. Mill—
er said he registered more than To students in the dormito»
ries.

When Miller handed the registration forms in at the (fol-
lege Republicans desk in the Student Organizations As-
sembly. he said there was no one at the desk.

However. when six students registered by Miller went
to the polls Nov 8. they were not allowed to vote because
their registration forms had not been turned in to the
Fayette (‘ounty (‘ommissioner‘s office.

Willfully depriving a citizen of registration is a violation
of Kentucky statute KRS 19.045. punishable by a fine of
$100-$500. six to 12 months in prison. or both. However. it is
difficult to prove someone is gmlty. according to Phyllis
Starns. office manager of state voter registration in the
Fayette (‘ounty (‘ommissii'iner‘s office.

it's not uncommon for some people who register voters
to forget to turn the forms in on time. according to Starns.

Patty Sheets of the Secretary of State‘s office said her
office has received a number of complaints about organiza-
tions that don’t turn in registration cards at all.

It is encouraging to see college students wanting to get
involved with the political process. but incidents like mis—
placing some forms den‘ionstrates the problems voter reg-
istration can create.

Under current laws any individual or group can walk
into the county commissioners office and pick up registra-
tion forms with no guarantee the forms will return.

One way to correct some of those problems. Starns said.
is to toughen some of the requirements of voter registra-
tion. such as giving people a card that identifies where.
when and by whom they were registered and having
groups number forms. such as SGA did

In addition. people and organizations should have to
register with the local county commissioners office when
they register voters and be accountable for every voter
registration form they take out of the office

Voters also need to realize when they register to vote
with someone other than a government official. they should
follow it up with a phone call to the commissioner’s office
to make sure their form was not “lost in the shuffle."

While making it a little harder for people to register to
vote may not increase voter turnout at the polls. it should
ensure that when they show up on Election Day they will
get to vote

Make my day

David Roselle and Dirty Harry have a lot in common

It still may be fall. but apparent
ly there's some spring cleaning
goingon

The kind of cleaning l‘m talking
about resembles Dirty Harry
cleaning San Francisco of crimi»
nals rather than the dusting of fur
niture.

If you have watched any of the
Dirty Harry movies. you know the
real action begins with a crime In
this case NCAA violations

The following day. investigator
Harry (‘allahan shows up at the
scene of the crime and begins his
investigation. Displeased and mad
as hell. of course

The next thing that happens is a
lot of shooting and killing. car
chases. shooting and killing. love
scenes with Sandra Locke. shooting
and killing, and finally Dirty Harry
guns down the guy he has been
meaning to kill all the time

There already is an investigation
into the alleged NCAA violations by
(”K‘s men's basketball program
And now there has been a killing

This is how the script has gone so
far:

Last week UK President David
Roselle said. “Go ahead. make my
day. Cliff Hagan."

Hagan's reply this week'
Sign "

Kablamm! Y

Roselle is left with a cool. rigid
look on his face. a smoking 357
Magnum and plenty of bullets
lWell.sortof.i

The only question remaining
“Who's next"“

While at first glance it may be
hard to find any rmemblence be
tween Roselle and Clint Eastwood‘s
character. Dirty Harry Callahan.
they do share a certain sense of
justice. It is the kind of justice
where if you are innocent you bet

ter get out oi the wgiy .md ll you
are guilty y‘ou‘rcdi-ad

it is the kind oi iiisticc that's
needed to follow up the t’mvcrsi
ty's own investigation into the al
leged violations

Just as Dirty li'irry acts in the
best interest of San Francisco by
eliminating the st uni iroiii the city.
Roselle should and apparently
will. act in the best interests of thi-
l'mversity by getting rid of those
who tarnish l K s image and com
promise the \alttcs the l'niversity
wishes to uphold

His gettough actions send .i
strong signal that [K does not sup
port men a hint oi wrongdoing in
its lllhlt‘llt'\ program Perhaps
Roselle's actions will limit the pun
ishmcnt ii the \i'i\;\ can lil‘iht' its
allegations

The universities oi Kansas and
(‘incinnati found that violations are
painful when the .\’(’.»\.-\ found them
gmlty a few weeks ago l'K's \iola
tions stand to be men more dani
aging in ihc penalties associated
with them

Qtnte clearly any penalties ler
vied by the Nt‘AA should be aimed
at preventing any wrongdoing in
the llll ure

Therefore the \t‘AA should take
into consideration Rosclle‘s correc
tive measures to "clean" the athr
letic department

Without Roselle s corrective
measures. any penalties levied by
the NCAA
