PETERSBURG TIMES Former Gator's transfer tied to accepting car from alumni By MARK JOHNSON St, Ptrburg Times Staff Writer chairman of the Committee on Infractions. According to Carr, both departments "commended the university for the manner in which the situation was handled." Michael Glazier, assistant director of enforcement, said the NCAA could not comment prior to public announcement of the incident. But he did say a player involved in a recruiting violation before September 1986 cannot lose eligibility once he transfers to another school. Parham's car was purchased before the 1984 season, as the NCAA was winding down its 21-month investigation into the Florida program.

An athletic department employee said the university suspects former assistant head coach Dwight Adams was involved in the arrangement. Adams, out of town Friday and unavail- Please see PARHAM, 7-C payments when then-head coach Charley Pell was fired in September, but the dealer allowed Parham to keep the car, the newspaper said. The dealer later told a university athletic department official about Parham's car, sparking the internal investigation. Parham, a sophomore from the northeast Florida town of Seville, wound up with Oklahoma's 89th scholarship thanks to a phone call from head coach Galen Hall, a former Sooner assistant who took over for Pell three games into last season. "Coach Hall called me and said he had an excellent player," Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer said.

"Galen and I spent 18 years together, so 1 value what he has to say." When asked about Parham's car, Switzer said, "I don't know anything about that. I have no comment in regard to that." A Florida spokesperson said Hall also contacted the University of Pittsburgh, at Parham's request. Pittsburgh coach Foge Fazio, however, had already awarded his NCAA limit of 95 scholarships for this season. Hall announced Parham's transfer during the team's media day last week, but offered no explanation. Parham, 6-5 and 242 pounds, was one of only six first-year freshmen who played last season and was expected to challenge for the starting tight end job in the coming season.

Under NCAA rules, Parham can practice with the team this fall but can see no game action until 1986. Bill Carr, Florida's athletic director, released a statement saying that Florida officials confirmed "an alleged recruiting inducement" and reported it "in person" to the NCAA enforcement department and to Frank Remington, Duncan Parham, a University of Florida tight end who transferred to the University of Oklahoma last week, had been barred from the Gator football team for receiving an automobile in a deal with two Jacksonville alumni. Florida, which began serving a two-year NCAA football probation in January, conducted its own investigation and confirmed the violation last month. When the university reported the incident to the NCAA, Parham was automatically ineligible to continue playing for the Gators. After receiving a copy of the report from an unnamed source, the Gainesville Sun reported Friday that two Jacksonville alumni made payments on the car.

There's no old oaken bucket or little brown jug at stake. But if nothing else, tonight's preseason game between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will go a long way toward setting the stage for the next four months of football.

The rosters have to be trimmed to 50 by Monday, and with the regular-season opener only 15 days away, both teams have to come away with a good idea of who stays and who plays. For the Bucs, there's plenty of work to be done on their first road trip of the season. "I WAS not pleased with the play of either the offense or the defense last week," Bucs head coach Leeman Bennett said Friday. "The biggest thing I'm looking for is more consistency both ways. Some players are doing good things on every play, but others, maybe just one or two, are fouling up.

It causes us to sputter on offense and give up big plays on defense. "I know they're learning a new system, hut I don't think we've asked too much." Maybe it's a good sign that Tampa Bay is 0-2 in the preseason. The Bucs seem to be victims of the Win Rarly-Lose Late syndrome. Last year, Tampa Bay was 3-2 in preseason and 6-10 during the ATLANTA Joaquin Andujar became major-league baseball's first 20-game winner of the season Friday night as the St. Louis Cardinals downed the Atlanta Braves 6-2.

It is the second-straight 20-victo-ry season for Andujar (20-7). Last year, he was 20-14 and was the only National League pitcher to reach that mark. Andujar also became the first NL pitcher to record consecutive 20-vic-tory seasons since Houston's Joe Niekro in 1979 and 1980, and he is the first St. Louis pitcher to win 20 in two straight seasons since Bob Gibson did it in 1969 and 1970. It wasn't a sharp performance for Andujar, who gave up 10 hits and walked four in 71 winnings.

But it moved the Cardinals moved back into first place in the NL East by a half-game over the New York Mets, who lost to San Diego 6-1 in the first game of a doubleheader Friday night. In posting their third victory in a row, the Cardinals struck for four runs in the third, featuring Andy Van Slyke's two-run homer. Vince Coleman started the rally with a single to left and then stole his 84th base despite an Atlanta pitch-out. Willie McGee tripled and he scored on Tom Herr's grounder. Please see CARDINALS, 4-C CHICAGO Jesse Barfield had three hits and drove in two runs and Garth Iorg tripled in two more Friday night to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox in the first game of a doubleheader.

The win restored Toronto's lead in the American League's East Division to four games following the New York Yankees' 3-2 loss to California late Thursday night. The Yankees also had a late game Friday night at Seattle. Rookie Tom Filer (7-0) was the winner, allowing four hits in five innings. Britt Burns (13-8) was the loser. The Blue Jays scored four times to take a 4-1 lead in the fourth inning.

Barfield singled in two runs after Damaso Garcia and George Bell pulled off a double steal. Then Jeff Burroughs singled and he and Bar-field scored on Iorg's triple. Toronto added two more runs in the seventh on successive singles by Garcia, Lloyd Moseby, Cecil Fielder and Bell. Ozzie Guillen singled and scored Chicago's first run in the third inning and Harold Baines hit his 10th homer in the fourth, a shot that landed on the rightfield roof. Please see BLUE JAYS.

Moroccan sets world record in 1f500 Riggs: 'Vitas and I are up against mission impossible' Associated Press The result of Friday night's match was unavailable at press time. United Press International -Va I' BERLIN Said Aouita of Morocco, fighting "great pain" from an injury, added the 1,500 meter world record to his mark here Friday and then announced he would attempt to set three more world records before the end of the season. "I want to hold five world records," Aouita said after clocking 3:29.45 to beat Steve Cram's five-week-old mark of 3:29.67.

Meanwhile, American Carl Lewis, winner of four gold medals at the 1984 Olympic Games, finished fourth in the 200 meters, his second race after a two-month layoff with a hamstring injury. Said Aouita (pronounced: SA-ed O-weeta) also has hamstring problems, but they didn't slow him Friday. With two runners setting a quick pace until the last lap, Aouita shattered the mark the Briton set July 16 in Nice, France, by 22-hundredths of a second. AOUITA, THE Olympic champion at 5,000 meters, set the world record July 27 with a time of 13:00.40 at Oslo, Norway. Cram, who did not compete Friday, lost the first of the three world records he set during a 20-day span in July and August.

After breaking the mark, Cram set records in the mile and 2,000 meters. Lindley added that Vision Cable serves the northern part of Pinellas County did minimal promotion for the tennis match, advertising only on its own system. For the 67-year-old Riggs, lurviv-al in the match during a possible five sets was as significant as the possibility of winning. "I'm just worried if he can stay on his feet," said Gerulaitis, who touched off the entire scene a year ago when he commented during the U.S. Open that the lOOth-ranked man could beat Navratilova, then ranked No.

1 among the women. Riggs has downplayed his "ole in the match, but at the same time, he has put in long hours daily working on his game. "We're giving 48 years away and in tennis to keep the competition you can't even give more than five years away," Riggs said. "When guys in the 50s try to play guys in the 45s, they're in big trouble. And when the 45 guys try to play the 40 guys, forget it.

"Vitas and 1 are up against mission impossible. Why else do you think these women would agree to play this match? If you were playing golf this would be like a 2-stroke handicap each hole. The girls are extremely confident." Navratilova and Shriver won 109 matches in a row before losing at Wimbledon earlier this year. St. Petersburg Times staff writer John Luttermoser contributed to this1 report.

1 '1 i 4 'r-X -i r. i ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Bringing along a new bunch of kids as his playmates, Bobby Riggs was ready for his latest fling in fantasyland. Falling somewhere between show business and tennis, and being staged in the gambling capital of the East, The Challenge was scheduled for Friday night as another test of the sexes and of age. Riggs and partner Vitas Gerulai-tis were scheduled to play Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver at the Atlantic City Convention Center starting at 9 o'clock EDT, with winners getting $300,000 and the losers taking $200,000 apiece.

As of Friday morning, only 325 Vision Cable subscribers had opted to pay $14.95 for the special "pay-per-view" showing of the match, a spokesman for the cable company said. That's 325 out of a possible 70,000 Pinellas County subscribers, but Vision Cable marketing director Jerry Lindley said that isn't as bad as it sounds. He said if a pay-per-view show attracts over 1,000 households, as the WrestleMania pro wrestling show from Madison Square Garden in New York did earlier this year, it's doing pretty well. The cable company is protected against apathy because its costs are mostly based on the number of viewers, he said. I 6 .1 AP record.
