We had a Check this year on the Girts play after nine holes and anyone who was t shooting a respectable score atthe turn was not per milled to continue that round.

Jim Bagwell and Mike Braich or Numberg s Daniel Bryan Stuttgart s Mike Sar Len Fulda s Chris Luscy and Ansbach s Scott Ben Nett among others. Ramstein has dominated the tournament action the last few championships but Heidelberg beat the royals by a stroke in last week s final regular season match. So things look really interesting this week. Augsburg s Lori Valenzuela has been the steadies performer Lor the girls turning in scores around 100 each week. Many coaches use my predictions to get their teams up for the approaching game look they say Ben Abrams picks us to lose this week. Let s just show him How wrong he  quite a few years ago Zweir Ilcken cashed in Only ability and made me look bad several weeks in a Row. When i went Down there to cover a big Gam Between Joe Young s trojans and International school of Brussels both undefeated the players an fans gave me a warm Welcome. Choice of is to win the big game snowing my pc Ben Abrams diction and he actual results and Reading Benabram is wrong  naturally  won. Naturally i look Good Deal More ribbing. It was accepted in the same Fine spirit in which it was dished out. Comes a letter across my desk As a suggestion not a complaint concerning the possibility that prognostication has a downgrading effect to wit ". ,. My daughter is on he phone with her Friend from bad or Cugnach and part of the conversation concerned the by football team loss o  loss completes the prediction printed in thurs Day s edition of the sla5and stripes newspaper. Questions Why Are High school level Winner loser predictions made and then printed in the paper what is their Benefit is the predictor looking at the Overall effect to these Young people involved or he she More concerned about his her ability a choosing winning teams if you were a Gambler this kind or reliability would be Well needed. We lived in Fairfax va., for four years prior tour tour in Germany and if memory serves correctly our local newspaper the Fairfax journal did no print predictions for High school spotting events. Why make anyone feel less about themselves before the fact Why not instead print something upbeat about the various teams i.e., Fulda has Strong defense and by has Talent this is generalized information but it s no downgrading. A of us need encouragement in order to improve and achieve As Well As maintain self is Lem these teams work very hard to be As Good As the can. They and their supporters Are not so Ita ivc that they can t be realistic regarding their chances for tame and glory but who expected the Minnesota twins to win the 1987 world series let s encourage not discourage these  making people feel less about themselves Down grading and discouraging efforts arc the farthest things from my mind i make these picks because it is a tradition for High school sports editors to do so. It is expected. I did this for the Peoria 111., journal Star for 15years before coming to Europe and this is the 20lh year i be done it for the stars and stripes. 1haven t seen the Fairfax journal bul i be seen Many newspapers that stress High school sports and the predictions generally Are the first things read. Prognostication is ail part of the game. Naturally i like to be right on the  weeks i do of others i do terrible but choosing the winning teams realty makes no differ ence to me. I feel he picks a narc the column More interesting and i m sure that Mast of the coaches agree. And i m positive that no gamblers would eve bother to look at my predictions they could t afford to. In last week s column i said there were 22games. Actually there were 23 because the Munich Zweibruck can game had been overlooked. Jooyoung called me about something else and mentioned the omission. Is ran a correction in Fri Day s paper and then i picked believe it or not Zweir Ilcken 27-20. It was a Good week a very Good week 21-2-0.913. That elevated the season Mark to 52-14-1. .788. Those arc Tough figures to beat.

The court s decision could affect among other things the National collegiate athletic association s investigations into alleged drug use by some ath letes. The justices who granted an inca Appeal last february were to hear arguments in the Case wednesday. A . Tarkanian head coach at the univer sity of Nevada at Las vegas since 1973, is trying to preserve the Victory he won in lower courts and avoid a two year sus pension for alleged Mcaa violations. Following a 30-month investigation Mcaa officials said Tarkanian arranged for a student to get a a Grade without attending class provided free air fare to a student athlete encouraged individuals to give the Mcaa false information to impede is probe falsely certified univ s program As complying with Mcaa rules and failed to comport with Jerry Tark Anlin ,. Supreme court to hear ease High ethical standards. The univ program was placed onto years probation in 1977 for recruit ing violations and the Mcaa that Sam year ordered the school to suspend tar kanian. His court tight staved off the suspension and won him the right to have then Caa pay some of his Legal fees. The Nevada supreme court ruled tha Tarkanian was denied due process Dur ing the Mcaa investigation that led this suspension. Bul to reach that conclusion the state court had in find that then Caa a private organization acted with governmental Power. The justices handling of that larger Issue will affect coaches and athletes at slate run Mcaa member schools across the nation individuals and private organization generally cannot violate someone s constitutional rights. Only a government and its agents can do that because the Constitution protects against govern mental not private wrongdoing. Courts Call the concept the doctrine of state  the Mcaa is a private organization representing nearly 1,000 colleges an universities. Bui in the Tarkanian Case the stale court said the Mcaa was acting As a surrogate for univ a stale University the right to discipline Public employees is traditionally he exclusive prerogative of the state the Nevada court said. Univ cannot escape responsibility for disciplinary action against employees by delegating that duty to a private  inc Mcaa investigators were acting As agents of a state school the slate court ruled Tarkanian was entitled up More due process More opportunities to be heard and More information about the  Mcaa insisting its investigation was not stale action sought help fro Mihe nation s highest court. If the justices agree with the Nevada court the Mcaa will find itself in a curious position. It will have to afford More due process rights to coaches an athletes at stale run schools than those who work for or attend private schools.
