Some of the groups will come back on Aug. 3, the end of the long weekend, while others will go on to Grand Coulee dam, which is about 120 miles from Evans. “We are trying to get as many people as we can,” says Robinson. “Anyone is’ wel- come to come.” All a person needs to be part of the: group is his own boat, which must be able to go 80 miles between gas steps, and travel at least 18 mph. She adds that one does not have to be 1 member of the yacht club to join the: trip. So far, there are 14 per- sons going but more would make the trip merrier. “This may be our last chance to go down because of the proposed Murphy Creek dam project,” she adds, SPORTY ONES atti “you ONT ‘WANT ME TO ‘THING LIKE Yuh RE Youre TO HER?” Name 1, J.

The problem first received {on in 1977, help was not im- proper.

SOME ABUSES KNOWN Since then, other milder but no less alarming abuses have come to light. Jeff Ruland, a basketball star for Iona College, lost his senior -year of eligibility when it was disclosed he had signed a contract with and accepted money from agent Paul Corvino of Scarsdale, N.Y., before his junior year. Recently, a Houston-based agent, Paul Clifford, said he had signed two University of Houston seniors to contracts while they were. still in school, a blatant violation of National Collegiate’ Athletic Association rules. -': Clifford also said he had made loans to the two play- ers, tackles Leonard Mitchell and Hosea Taylor, and. th had not ron him.” They are a bill.to require the licensing of sports agents, “One example I reniember. was in football.

The North. American Soc- eer League Players’ Associ- ation this year became the first body to provide ' for policing of agents. Its most recent basic agreezient with NASL ownere, a three-year pact effective last January, gives the union the right to have a representative pre- sent’ at all bargaining ses- . sions between an agent and a player's team. ' ‘BEST FOR PLAYER’ | “Obviously, it's in the best interest of the player for his union te know all of the nec- ‘essary facts as they relate to an agteement™ between the player and his lub, and be- tween’ the player and his agent,” said John Kerr, direc- tor of the NASL Players Association. “Remember, you're deal- ing with a-group of young men who don't really know how to deal with an agent.” Weston, the ARPA admin- . _» Btrator, concedes somé sort would on an an- nual basis. “They, when an agent screws up, a committee would decide if this money should be given out to the athlete — enough to help | him over hte hump.” ONE WENT EANKBUPT Athletes like Dennis Du- Val,a former pro football - player who lost $80,000 and went bankrupt in the Sorkin fiasco, could use such help, Weston said. : A third part of his proposal would call for tne'NCAA to develop an educational pro- gram to “teach these kids the ‘details of the cruel, world.” The NCAA, in conjunction with the Collegiate Commis- ' ANXIOUS MOMENT at Saturday's bike rattle was the reading of one’ of: the winnin: Stroker from a ticket being held by Lorene’ CASTLEGAR NEWS, May 27, tickets by Cst.
