Now that we are being bombarded every
day with news of cheating, recruiting scandais
or point-shaving incidents in college
athletics, it is high time we took measures to
OUtlaW SUCh f>CPiirrenr#?c
We aren't talking about the mere making
of such things illegal. That has already been
done and people still persist in breaking the
rules.
A better idea might be to create an outlaw
division for college athletics, one that would
be sort of a combat zone.
Never heard of a combat zone? Well, such
a thing exists in Boston, but for another,
albeit sirnilai icasun?than the une we're
discussing in this space. In Boston, the city
fathers were anxious to find a way to rid the
town of prostitution and the topless bars and
other such unsavory elements which come
with sex-for-hire.
The city couldn't do it. Lord knows
Boston tried. It devised every law it thought
of, but it could not find a way to keep
noojcers off the streets or greedy
> businessmen from opening topless and bottomless
bars.
So the city fathers took one big collective
sigh and declared enough was enough.
They developed the excellent idea that it
would be better for a small piece of Boston
to be soiled than all of it.
So the city fathers sat down with a map
and drew red circles around an area where
sex-for-hire practices were most frequent.
That two-block area is now known as the
1 'combat zone." Enter at your own risk.
Almost anything goes.

d establish an o
tion, but it could learn something from
Boston. It is clear now that we cannot prevent
some coaches form cheating, that we
cannot stop some schools from giving
players under-the-table money, that we cannot
stop some alumni from buying cars for
their favorite players or paying for their girl
friends' abortions.
If college sports is to be that rotten, then it
is time we declared the worst of the cheaters

ana lumped tnem into one big outlaw division.
To save face, it would be called the
"open division," for the biggest and most
ambitious schools.
But privately we would call this the combat
zone, for anything goes would be the

This way, the greediest schools could fight"v
things out amongst themselves. Let them
have the big bowl games and TV millions.
They've already got them, anyway. The
schools which remained in Division I and
lower would get back to the business of
educating students and playing only those
students who happened to be athletes.
Just like in the good old days before all the
outlaws took over.

Questions And Answers
Q. Were you surprised tfiat the New
Orleans Saints traded George Rogers? -Euttene
MorrU Raltimr?r*?
A. I think that move shocked a lot of people.
Rogers, 26, still has a lot of very good
years left. I shudder to think how good he'll
be running behind a massive offensive line
like the Washington Redskins possess. No
one really knows why New Orleans let him

get away, except that the Saints are wellstocked
at running back. They apparently
feel that Earl Campbell, whom they aquired
last year from Houston, still has some years
left. But Campbell is 30 years old and has
shown signs of slowing.
Q. Since Arthur Ashe retired, we don't
hear much more about blacks on the nm r#?n.
r. ~
nis tour. Are there any blacks on the verge of
becoming stars? -- Tracy Davis, Beaumont,
Texas.
A. One of the hottest^oung blacks on the
circuit right now is 21-year-old Zina Gar- |
rison. She pulled off one of the most startling
upsets of the year when she beat Chris
Evert Lloyd 6-4, 6-3 in the Women's Tennis
Association championship at Amelia Island,
Fla.
Q. Any chance the San Antonio Spurs will
trade George Gervin to a championship contender?
-- James Madison, Ocala, Fla.
A. Gervin, known as "Ice Man," is past
his prime. Also, his game, built around scoring,
continues to be one-dimenisonal. It's
doubtful a top team would want him, unless
it was to fill a role like Bob McAdoo provides
for the Los Angeles Lakers. Sure, the
Spurs would trade him if the price was right.
