A. Lack of institutional control
cited as reason for probation.
By ED MEYERS
Special to the Chronicle
Winston-Salem State University received a three
year probationary period Tuesday for violations result
ing from "lack of institutional control" by the NCAA
Committee of Infractions.
The violations of NCAA legislation involved the
-participation of ineligible student-athletes in several
sports and the provision of extra benefits to football
student-athletes and were announced by David Swank,
head of the NCAA infractions committee from the
NCAA office in Overland Park, Kansas.
According to Chancellor Cleon F. Thompson Jr.,
the sanctions end a three-year probe of allegations.
- Among the violations found by the committee are
the following:
The university's chancellor authorized the use of
funds from a chancellor's discretionary fund that subse
quently were used to provide extra benefits in the form
of summer housing and the rental of furniture for sever
al football student-players.
That was done when coach Bill Hayes left for
North Carolina A&T University and Thompson was
afraid several key football players would follow Hayes
to A&T.
Two student -athletes were permitted to compete
during their initial years of eligibility, even though nei
ther qualified under NCAA initial-eligibility legisla
tion. . ^
Several student-athletes were permitted to practice
and participate, even though the university had no high
school transcripts or NCAA 48 -C certification forms on
file to verify their initial eligibility.
The committee determined that the violations,
while somewhat limited in scope, were major "because
of the direct involvement of the university administra
tion and the inadequate exercise of appropriate institu
tional control in all areas of supervision of the intercol
legiate athletics program/*
The university has received-directives to:
? Eliminate postseason competition in football for
the 1993 season.
? Vacate from the records the institution's stand

Lady Rams Face Uphill CIAA Battle
? First game after
break ends in defeat
against the Norfolk
State Spartanettes
By ED MEYERS
Special to the Chronicle __ _
Following last week's defeat at the hands of
defending Central Intercollegiate Athletic Associ
ation champion Norfolk State by a 104-60 count.
Winston-Salem State women's coach Stenson
Conley admitted his team had the "jitters" prior to
the game.
" This was our first game back after the holi
day break," he said. "And they (Norfolk State > are
always high powered."
That might have been an understatement.
The Spartanettes. who had been averaging 88
points a game in compiling a 9-1 overall mark.
got off to A V4-0 early lead as the Lady Rams
l
turned the ball over the first six possessions with
out being able to get a shot off.
Thanks to Kendra Home, junior guard from
Ansonville. NC. Winston-Salem State managed
to make a game of it briefly midway through the
first half as Home got eight of her 25 points to
make it 23-18 with just over 12 minutes remain
mg.
But Norfolk State's pressing defense, which
forced WSSU to commit 53 turnovers, was the
major difference in the game as the Lady Rams
had considerable trouble getting the ball down the
court.
They trailed at halftime. 49-32. and saw the
visitors run off another 1-i-0 streak to start the
second half before WSSL' was able to score
again. NSL' added six more in succession for a
20-2 run and a 69-34 advantage.
After that it was simply a matter of whether
or not the Spartanettes w;puld hit the century
mark. They did so with 1:15 left in the game.
On the boards, the two teams were surpris
ingly close with NSU holding a 48-43 advantage.
Eiut Norfolk State hit on 52 percent from the field
while Winston-Salem State managed just 41 per
cent.
Home took game scoring honors with her 25
points, but only Ebony Moore, 6-2 sophomore
center from Charlotte who played just 10 min
utes. was the only other Lady Ram in double fig
ures with 10 points.
Norfolk State placed four ladies in double
figures, led by Deshonna Anderson and Jennine
Tanks, who each hit for 22 points and had 16
rebounds between them.
"Our inexperience showed," Stenson said, as
his team went winless for the sixth time in as
many games.
The Lady Rams face a tough road trip this
week. On Tuesday, they take on St. Augustine the
CIAA runner-up last year, who according to Sten
son picked up two big inside players. They play
Hampton on Thursday and N.C. Central Saturday.
Asked if he saw a victory coming down the
road, he smiled. "Central is winless also," he said.
"Something's got to give."
Hole-In-One
