Terps' Driest
but continue
for Marylanc
By The Associated Press
College Park, Md. ? I.cftv
Dricsell stepped down from his
head basketball coaching job at
Maryland Wednesday, but will
remain in the university as assistant
athletic director.
Under a newly negotiated
deal, Dricsell will be guaranteed
at least $136,(KM) by Maryland
for the next four years and
$86,000 for the remaining four
years. He will also be allowed to
^ keep his basketball camp on
campus, which reportedly earns
him about $70,000 a year.
Dricsell stepped aside under
pressure trom an administration
reacting to the furor that
followed the cocaine-related
death of All-Amcrican Lcn Bias
on June 19 and criticism of
Maryland's academic standards
for basketball players.
Chancellor John Slaughter
praised Dricscll for successes
during his 17 years as coach,
but said in the best interest of
the athletic program, "a changc
in leadership is required." He
denied that Driesell was a
scapegoat.
Slaughter said he took full
responsibility for the problems,
but also said, "I have no intention
of resigning."
Driesell, who spoke to
reporters before Slaughter, read
a short statement and declined
to accept any questions.
"It's obvious that the administration
wants to make a
Q coaching changc and I do not
want to coach if I am not
wanted."
When Driesell left Cole Field
House he was cheered by hun

drcds of students.
Dricscll came under fire from
many sources after Bias' death.
Prince George's County
State's Attorney Arthur Marshall
Jr. tried unsuccessfully to
get Dricscll indicted for
obstruction of justicc, saying he
tried to have Bias' dorm room
cleared of drugs after the
Boston Celtics' first round
draft pick collapscd.
Marshall also charged
Dricscll had placed more emphasis
on winning t h a n
academics. A university task
force appointed by Slaughter
was also critical of the
program.
Dricscll defended his program
last month and said, "I'm
not apologizing for anything
we've done."
Under the financial arrangement,
Slaughter said Dricscll
will continue to be paid his
salary of $85,8(K).
In addition the university
guaranteed him $50,(XX) annually
for the next four years
for university-arranged telcvi
muii appeal euies.
Slaughter said Dricscll would
be free to accept coaching jobs
elsewhere, but that the contract
would be broken if he leaves.
Slaughter also said a new
coach, interim or permanent,
would be annomccd before the
start of practice jn Saturday.
According to the Chancellor,
Dricscll would be involved in
marketing, advertising, and
promoting various athletic activities
although details have yet
to be worked out.

Soccer team loses
By RICHARD BREEN I
Senior reporter 1
Missed opportunities and tough play by Furman
led to USC's 3-0 soccer loss at The Graveyard. 1
The loss Wednesday, only the fourth home defeat '
of the Ciamccocks in the last three years, drops I
USC's record to 14-4 with three games left to play.
The two teams went at each other full force '
throughout the first half. The play was so physical J
that three yellow caution cards were handed out.
There were a total of 22 fouls in the first half. >
I he Paladins finally broke the ice at M : 14 tonowing
an indirect free kick. Furman scored again with <
"This game was really two games," Bcrson said.
"In the first half we played very well and had some '
excellent chances. When you miss them, they can
come back and haunt you, and they did."

suspended
By WAYNE WASHINGTON
Assistant sports editor
USC Athletic Director Boh
Marcum announced Thursday
senior guard Michael Foster and
I sophomore I o r w a r a jonn
Brcekcnridgc have been suspended
from the Gamecock basketball
team for selling complimentary
tickets two seasons ago.
Marcum said Foster would
have to sit out three games and
Brcekcnridgc would miss 17.
The decision was made after
USC' turned over reports of the
ticket sales to the NCAA.
Foster, who averaged 12 points
and almost four assists last
season, and Brcckenridgc must
donate money to charity equaling
the amount they made off the
ticket sales during the 1984-85
season, Marcum said. Also,
Foster and Breckenridgc will be
denied complimentary tickets this
II season.
"I really don't have any comment,"
Foster said. "It's in the
past and I'm glad it's over."
USC said the ticket sales occurrcd
during the coaching days of
former head coach Bill Foster
who resigned March 12.
Teammate Terry Dozier said
he knew nothing about the incident
and he would not be able to
comment.
"This is the ruling. We'll have
to abide by it," head coach
George Fcllon said in a prepared
statement.
Marcum was unavailable for
comment.
USC finished 12-16 overall and
2-11 in the Metro Conference.
Foster came on strong for the
Gamecocks at mid-season last
year when Dozier went down
with a broken wrist.

" I he sccond goal was the backbrcakcr,"
Gamccock head coach Mark Bcrson said. "1

know until I look at the videotape."
Rod Underwood iced the game at 86:36 when he
3cat several defenders and slid a shot past
iophomorc goalie Charlie Arndt.
"Any time you beat a team of this quality you're

The Gamecocks play their last road game of the
