The NCAA also ordered the university to prohibit one assistant football coach from engaging in any off-campus recruiting activities during the first year of the probation. A second assistant coach is restricted from engaging in any recruiting activities on or off campus during the entire probationary period. In addition, the university is required to admonish a third assistant coach to guard against a recurrence of similar violations of NCAA regulations.

The NCAA also ordered the university to "sever all relations between two representatives of its athletic interests and its intercollegiate athletic program." "The university acknowledges that some violations took place but we regret that the NCAA Council was unable to accept our proof of innocence in the matters appealed to it," MSU president Clifton Wharton said in a brief statement. crashed through a chain-link fence and stopped against a guard rail. Hunt came to rest safely at another guard rail after his throttle stuck. Local star Emerson Fittipaldi had electrical problems in his new, Brazilian-built Copersucar and barely finished. Fittipaldi won the race in 1973 in a Lotus, and in 1974 in a McLaren.

Brazilian Carlos Pace won the race last year in a Brabham. Mario Andretti of the United States dropped out on the sixth lap with the front spoiler of his Lotus dragging on the ground and the left front tire flat after a collision with teammate Ronnie Peterson of Sweden. 1.

SAO PAULO, Brazil (UPI)-World champion Formula I driver Niki Lauda of Austria easily won the Brazilian Grand Prix Sunday in a 12-cy-linder Ferrari after his closest competitors, Jean-Pierre Jarrier of France and James Hunt of England crashed late in the race. Neither driver was hurt nor was any other competitor in a race filled with minor mishaps.

Lauda's success broke a run of three Brazilian victories in the last three Brazilian Grand Prix races at the Interlagos track. Second was Patrick Depailler of France in a Tyrrell-Ford, followed by Welshman Tom Pryce in a Shadow. When Lauda took the lead, a 20-lap battle developed between Hunt's McLaren and Jarrier's Shadow. Hunt kept only one second ahead of Jarrier until the 27th lap when his car began spitting oil. Jarrier ate away at Lauda's six-second lead, gaining one second per lap, until the 33rd lap when he skidded on an oil slick left by Hunt's car, Ijjttt -sr ls Vk Electro-Static Process BY JOHN STREGE Times Staff Writer After winning a silver medal in the 200-meter breast-stroke at the 1972 Olympics, Dana Schoenfield semiretired from swimming.

Occasionally she competed, but said she was swimming only for her own enjoyment. Her retirement, however, did not include other aspects of athletics and now she is again in the public eye. Only now she's on the sidelines. Schoenfield is a song girl at UCLA and can be seen dancing to the music of the Bruin band amid the pandemonium of Pauley Pavilion basketball games. For Schoenfield, swimming is a thing of the past, merely a segment an important one, however of her life.

"The Olympics was just one step," she said. "I consider song-leading a progression of my life." She hopes the progression will lead to an acting career. A senior communications major, she would like to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena or New York. Although only 22, and in her mind stronger than when she missed a gold medal by three-tenths of a second, she decided long ago to give the Olympics only the one chance. "I'm a goal-oriented person," she said.

"I like to set goals on certain things. My main goal was to make the 72 Olympic team and I did. Now, I don't want to swim for goals anymore. I want to do it only for my own enjoyment." She did think about making a comeback for the 1976 Olympics. But it was only a thought.

"That was before I found out I made song girl," she said. "My coach (Ray Woods) used to tease me saying, 1 know you're going to come back and try for the 76 Olympics and go for the gold medal." But she decided against it on grounds she had already achieved more than she ever anticipated. "I was disappointed that I came so close to getting a gold medal. But winning the silver was so much more than I ever dreamed of. "The press and public place so much value on winning a gold medal.

They don't realize what it takes just to make the Olympic team." She almost psyched herself out of any medal at all. "I went in thinking, "Wow, this is the Olympic But I got a note from my coach back home saying This is just another 200 race. Just remember how you swim, remember your Australia's Beverly Whitfield won the gold medal in 2:41.7 followed by Schoenfield at 2:42.0 and the Soviet Union's Galina Stepanova at 2:42.3. "Stepanova was favored," Schoenfield said. "She was in lane two or three and I was in lane six so I could see everyone in the race.

I geared my whole race toward Stepanova and caught her at 150 yards. "When I finished, I looked up and thought, "Oh my gosh, I got first But I looked at the scoreboard and saw a little two next to my name. Whitfield outjumped me at the end." After the Olympics, she decided she'd had enough of applying all her energies toward swimming. "It got so I was spending six to seven hours in the water and another hour weight lifting," she said about her Olympic training. "And all my meals and rest were geared around workouts.

"It's not easy when you're getting up at 5 in the morning and it's cold and your friends are still sleeping to recover from the party you couldnt go to the night before. "The way I look at it is that I sacrificed one year of my life for something I really wanted. I would encourage anybody thinking about it to try for the Olympics. It teaches you self-discipline and motivation and you make so many new friends." The friends are the main reason she chose to continue competing. Her last major competition was in the Nationals last March.

"I can't say I trained 100 per cent," she said. '1 trained to make the team so I could renew old acquaintances. I also trained for the enjoyment" She finished fifth in the 100-yard breaststroke and has no plans to compete again. Actually, her swimming career began through boredom, not enjoyment.

Timet photo by Robert Lachman Before moving to Anaheim, the Schoenfields lived in Indiana, where Dana had taken up dancing.

"I wanted to be a prima ballerina and an actress," she said. "We moved to Southern California, which was the swim capital of the world. My brother was swimming for the Disneyland Hotel team. "I got bored watching him while waiting to find a dance school equal to the one back in Indiana. So I took up swimming and got so involved with it that I never got back into dancing until now." Her dance background led to her decision to try out for song girl.

"I wanted to go into song-leading because of the dancing. I wanted to reshift my muscles, so I decided to try out. I put together some bits and pieces that I remembered from dance. I didn't really expect to win." But she attacked it the way she does most everything with much enthusiasm and was chosen. She compares it to swimming.

"The performing aspect is the same as swimming," she said. "There's a correlation. I consider dancing a form of athletics just as much as swimming. "It's kept me in shape. My agility is at the highest it's ever been.

I think a woman reaches her physical peak in her 30s. I feel I'm stronger than ever and have a better wind capacity." She talked almost as if she wanted to return to the pool for one more try, maybe train a little harder and win the elusive gold medal. But that phase of her life is over. She's ready to move on to her next step. ML FEl'J DAYS FlfJAL PRICE GUTS! Final Week Keller January Golf Sale.
