"It's to John Paul's credit he stuck around and turned himself in." said Miss Valente. "That's one reason he's being granted bond be cause the prosecution was hesitant to set a bond since his father skipped out on his. "But the magis trate wants to see Conte in person to secure the bond and he's sup posed to arrive today." As for Shierson.

"He said he was sorry but he want ed to save us and our sponsors any embarassmenL" Obviously, it remains to be seen whether Paul Jr. will be able to continue his career or spend time behind bars. Back in May of 1983.

discussing his 1979 arrest, he told Autoweek, "I'm sorry it happened and I know it was wrong. But that was before I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I've dedicated my life to being a race driver and I hope people will judge me on the basis of who I am now and not on what I did as a boy." (whites) antique galleries I 2Es2 S3 U2Z N.

Fla.

hoping for bond to be posted and undoubtedly wonder ing what his future holds. Paul surrended to federal authorities Monday afternoon after being charged with participating in a marijuana smuggling ring with his father, John Paul and three, other men, from 1975 through 1984. The 24 year old graduate of Muncie's Delta High School is accused of racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, importing of illegal drugs and distribution of illegal drugs. IF CONVICTED. Paul Jr.

could face a maximum of 50 years in prison and a 80.000 fine. However, the young driver's cooperative attitude and recent history may prove to be helpful factors down the road. Paul's problems surfaced in April -of 1983 after his father was charged with the attempted murder Says Big Ten Knight Columbus, Ohio (UPI) A member of the Rules Compliance Committee of the Big Ten says Indiana University basketball Coach Bobby Knight should put up or shut up about his allegations of misconduct by "other" Big Ten basketball the Columbus Dispatch reported Tuesday. Phyllis Bailey, an associate athletic director at Ohio State, told the newspaper the committee has not received any reports from Knight. "The committee requested earlier that if Mr.

Knight had information regarding the charges he has been making, that it behooved him to report it to the conference office." she said. "And if he doesn't he should cease talking about it. "He has said on several occa sions that he doesn't choose to deal with the conference office, that he is going to take his information to the NCAA." she said. KNIGHT CRITICIZED the con ference several times this past fall for not taking action agianst recruiting violators. Notre Dame Coach Digger Phelps, a friend of Knight's, Lewis Continued From Page 13 nine minutes to defeat Wisconsin.

"I feel like I'm coming into my own, doing the things Coach Keady wants me to do," says Troy. "I've been playing well in practice, too. But I just want us to win, no matter what I do." Especially against Indiana, even if the Hoosier roster does include his friends, Delray Brooks and Steve Alford, and his basketball playing buddies from Anderson, Stew Robinson and Winston Morgan. Thursday night. Brooks and Lewis both will be wearing No.

23. Both, of course, wore No. 1 for Indiana as co Mr. Basketballs in last summer's All Star games with Kentucky. The voting for Mr- Basketball was hotly debated throughout last winter.

The arguments didn't end with the tie vote and the careers of Brooks and Lewis will always, inev- Brooks Continued from Page 13 "We usually ended up guarding each other. I know I guarded him because I always wanted to guard the other team's best man. That's how you improve your game." If Brooks emerged with the upper hand, he will apply no leverage with it "I'm not going to say I'm top dog," Brooks offered diplomatically. "Troy is. an excellent basketball player and has great skills and I think I'm a pretty good basketball player but I won't say I'm better.

We'll let the sportswriters decide that." LEWIS HAS yet to start but is averaging 18 minutes, nine points and shooting 56 percent for Purdue. Most of Brooks' bright spots this season have been spent dimming leading lights. He smothered Iowa State's prolific Barry Stevens until the effort wore him down and Knight went with more size and strength in Winston Morgan. When Kansas State deadeye Tom Alfaro dropped three consecutive bombs on Indiana early in the second half of a tight game, Knight dropped Brooks on Alfaro, who wasn't heard from again. Notre Dame's David Rivers spent one half shooting Indiana's eyes out and the next staring into Brooks' eyes.

Brooks never blinked. the Michigan 500 in only his fourth start. HE SPENT last season filling in for different CART teams after his initial ride with Team VDS folded following Indy. But after signing with Shimon and replacing Danny Sullivan in the Domino's Pizza Lola earlier this month, Paul's plans took a turn for the worse. His fugitive father was captured in Geneva.

Switzerland, on Jan. 11 and the indictments were unsealed shortly after. "Actually, they were indicted last May but the authorities didn't want to make it public until John Paul Sr. was caught," said Mickie Valente. a reporter for the Florida Times Union in Jacksonville.

"And the trial may not start until all of the defendants have been appre hended." According to Miss Paul's attorney (Edward Garland of Atlanta) is taking the angle his client has been clean since discovering racing. "He (Garland) pointed out that John Paul was only 19 back in 1979 and shouldn't be held accountable." continued Miss Va lente. "He also pointed out he's been independent of his father the past four years and. instead of fleeing the country, has gotten married, started a family and bought a home in West Palm Beach." we'd like to know about it and do something about it," she said. THE BASKETBALL shot clock experiment in the Big Ten has been such a success that conference coaches are predicting it will not only become permanent but will be adopted nationally.

Big Ten coaches this season voted in the 45second shot clock, where a team must take a shot 45 seconds after gaining possession or lose possession of the ball. And they are expected to adopt it permanent ly next season if it isn't approved before then for all college games by the NCAA. "Its time has come," said Coach Rich Falk of Northwestern Tuesday. "It has accomplished exactly what it was supposed to do it forces people to play the game. It cuts out the all out stall and the scores haven't gone up that dramatically." Coaches Gene Keady of Purdue, George Raveling of Iowa and Lou Henson of Illinois, reached by telephone, also looked favorably on the shot clock.

common. People thought we'd be enemies but that's far from the truth. He's been one of my best friends. "I wouldn't want people to com pare his career with mine. He'll get his chance there, I'll get mine here.

I think we're both more interested in the team than individual things. If our team wins, then we'll be happy." Thursday night, though, that can't happen for one of them. And that will be a first. Their high school teams never met and, other than at a basketball camp and in all star practices, Lewis and Brooks have not competed against each other. No doubt, by the time they are seniors, they'll probably have a few stories to swap.

"I'm looking forward to playing four years against Indiana," says Lewis. So are the fans, Troy. So are the fans. it had to go for people to score." LEAVE IT to Brooks to pick the Kentucky game to endear himself to Indiana fans. He is nobody's dummy.

Named national player of the by USA Today, Brooks was a 3.3 student, two-time class president and 1983 governor of Indiana Boys' State at Rogers. While adjusting his jump shot in his first semester at I.U., he adjusted well enough in the classroom to put together a 3.0 report to send home to Mom.

"What he's talking about concerning recruiting in that league is happening," said Phelps. "I'm aware of it, and he's aware of it, and it's time some people in the right corners be aware of it." Bailey said she hopes Knight has some proof of his allegations. "I think all of us would be happy if that sort of thing didn't happen within the conference, that none of our coaches would make those kinds of allegations unless they have concrete proof and come forward with said Bailey.

"I'd feel a lot better if we hadn't lost to Michigan State and Ohio State. For any freshman, it's a learning experience. "I think the Kentucky game was probably my high point.

I played the whole game and did a fairly decent job on defense and controlled the whole offense. I just had an overall good game. I didn't score that much but I got the ball where shut up "I think it will be nationalized." said Keady. "I like it except when you get a lead and you are on your home court. It hurt us in our loss to Michigan State where we had the lead but had to shoot the ball." "I really like it, it's good for basketball," said Henson, despite the fact it apparently cost Illinois a victory at Minnesota.

"We had a seven point lead with 2:11 to play but we had to keep shooting. Without the clock we would have won that game. It becomes a factor in close games." HENSON'S IMMEDIATE con cern is Ohio State, which will invade Illinois' Assembly Hall tonight. Illinois, which is tied for the Big Ten lead with Michigan at 4 2, has won 17 straight at home.
