A tip-in by James Moses ended years of frustration for the Iowa basketball team Thursday night. Moses tipped in a missed shot by Chris Street with 1 second remaining in overtime to give Iowa an 80-79 victory against fourth-ranked Indiana. The Hawkeyes had lost their previous five games at Indiana, and it looked like it was going to be No. 6 when the Hoosiers held a 50-34 advantage with 14 minutes 28 seconds to play. But free throws and Moses being in the right spot at the end prevented another loss.

The victory improved Iowa's record to 18-8 and evened its Big Ten Conference record at 7-7. It was a just reward, Moses thought, for what happened to the Hawkeyes Saturday when a three-point basket by Brian Good gave Wisconsin a 56-55 victory. Another Loss It was the second straight setback for Indiana, which lost in double overtime to Ohio State on Sunday. Acie Earl and Val Barnes shared Iowa's scoring honors with 19 points apiece. Moses finished with 16.

Freshman forward Chris Street had a career-high 13 rebounds. Iowa made 29 of 33 free Indiana connected on only 19 of 34. Iowa's final play started in front of its own bench. With 8 seconds remaining, Street got the ball inbounds to Earl, who missed a 15-foot shot. Street missed a tip-in, but Moses didn't.

"I took off for the basket when I saw Acie shoot," Moses said. "I thought the rebound was coming to my side of the basket, but it didn't. It went to Chris' side.

"I wish there was some way we could accept the win," Washington said. "It's nice of Tony to say what he did." Drake stormed back from a 21-point deficit to pull to within three points with 1 minute 20 seconds left. But Mark Raveling missed a three-point basket, Creighton's Chad Gallagher blocked a shot by William Celestine, and Creighton finished off the Bulldogs with free throws. "Drake outplayed us and outh-ustled us," Barone said. "Our players didn't look to Drake as a challenge, and that's an embarrassment to our program." Under the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990, the steroids will be categorized as medium-level Schedule 3 drugs, the same category that includes barbiturates and codeine.

Schedule 3 drugs have a potential for abuse and also have an accepted medical use. Under the new law, the maximum penalty for trafficking and illegal dispensing of anabolic steroids will be five years in prison and a fine of $250,000. And for the first time, possession of even small quantities of anabolic steroids for uses not validly prescribed by a doctor will be a federal crime. The maximum penalty for possession will be one year in prison and minimum $1,000 fine. Anabolic steroids are legitimately used to treat medical problems such as osteoporosis and anemia.

But they have been subject to growing abuse MORNING REPORT Basketball By RON MALY Reenter Staff Writer OMAHA, NEB. Crazy sport, this basketball. Try to explain this one to James Naismith, the man who invented the game. Creighton went the final 8 minutes 44 seconds of Thursday night's game against Drake without a basket but still won, 69-63. Afterward, Creighton Coach LATRELL WRIGHTSELL Tony Barone said Drake deserved to win.

Thanks, Bulldogs Coach Rudy U.S., armed with new law, says it will get tough on steroids About the only thing Barone was pleased about was the performance of reserve guard Latrell Wrightsell, who scored 15 points and had eight assists and eight steals. "Wrightsell knows what to do to get the job done," Barone said. The victory was Creighton's second this season against Drake and moved the Bluejays closer to first place in the Missouri Valley Conference. Their 10-4 record ranks behind only the 11-4 mark of Southwest Missouri State. Overall, Creighton is 18-7.

Drake, losing for the 11th time in its last 12 games, is 4-10 in the Valley and 7-18 overall.

According to a 1989 survey by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, 269,000 high school students were using or had used steroids. The known health risks include severe acne, baldness, temporary sterility, abnormal liver function, high blood pressure and heart disease.

Medical experts say adolescents whose bodies are still developing are at special risk for some adverse reactions, including stunted growth, mood changes and long-term dependence on steroids. Bonner said the main sources for anabolic steroids have been doctors willing to write prescriptions that were not medically warranted, and foreign manufacturers whose products were smuggled into the United States.

"Doctors who prescribe anabolic steroids for other than legitimate purposes will be prosecuted; profits made from such sales will be forfeited, and I will revoke their license to prescribe drugs." Bonner said he was asking DEA field offices around the country to enforce the new law, but he acknowledged that Congress had not provided extra money or employees to implement the law.

"I know we're going to enforce it," Bonner said. "I think there are some questions in my mind as to how effective we're going to be able to do that." He added that other enforcement agencies such as the Customs Service and the FBI would continue to work on the steroid problem as well. ATLANTA, GA. (AP) Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer has accepted a conditional contract from the Baltimore Orioles and could be in uniform as early as Saturday, the team announced Thursday night. Terms of the contract weren't disclosed, but are contingent upon Palmer's making the team.

"It's a performance contract that is fair," Palmer said. "I don't want to be paid for anything I don't do. I've never operated like that." Manager Frank Robinson has said he would give Palmer, 45, the entire six weeks of spring training before making a decision on whether to make him the first Hall of Famer to return to the major leagues. Palmer was released by the Orioles in 1984 after a 19-year career in which he won 268 games. "It's not the money," Palmer said.

"It's a very insignificant offer. There are some incentives, but it's less than I made in 1984, and I didn't make much at that time. "It's just something that happened and I'd like to see if I can do it. I know that no Hall of Fame pitcher has ever tried a comeback, but that's not the reason. "I've been throwing since Dec.

17, and my arm feels terrific. I've spent two months doing something and it would be real difficult not to do it." Palmer was inducted into the Hall of Fame last summer, and for the past week has been throwing under the eyes of scouts from several major league clubs. His fastball has been clocked at speeds of 86-87 mph, he said, adding that he threw 200 pitches a few days TV Today 7 p.m. (jSlPSkiing U.S. Men's 7 p.m.

(AP) The government served up a reminder Thursday that tough new rules take effect next week to stem the growing abuse of anabolic steroids by athletes, body-builders and teen-agers trying to improve their appearance.

Robert Bonner, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said abuse of anabolic steroids was "a dirty little secret" that got little attention. "The secret's out now, and how have some laws to do something about it," he said. "This activity will now be treated as a serious federal crime." Under a law that takes effect Wednesday, anabolic steroids will be classified as a controlled substance subject to closer regulation. Illegal manufacture, distribution, importation and possession of the drugs will carry tougher penalties. C.R.

The International Skating Union said a Jan. 26 test Klimova failed in Sofia, Bulgaria, was refuted by the second test at a German laboratory.

'GREEK' SUES CBS.

Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder, who was fired by CBS because of controversial remarks about black athletes, has filed suit against the network in New York, seeking $20 million in damages. Snyder, 73, accused the network of age discrimination, defamation and breach of contract. "By firing and repudiating Mr. Snyder, CBS quashed his dream, his dignity and his spirit. The network turned a man once full of life into a beaten man," Jeffrey L.

Liddle, one of Snyder's attorneys, said in court papers. Snyder claims CBS used his comments about black athletes as an excuse to fire him because he was getting old. CBS denied the claims. "We consider that the actions are completely without merit," said Susan Kerr, director of communications for CBS Sports.
