Newton may face the toughest test

After an extensive internal investigation
into the USC basketball
program, President John Palms will
release llie results of the investigation
to the public this morning.

Officer David Didion will deter

rule violations occurred and what
action, if any, should be taken by
the NCAA against IJSC.
Possible violations, which will
be discussed in the report, include
allowing recruit Cortez Barnes to
live in The Roost dormitory even
though he was not enrolled as a
student at USC.
Other violations could include
providing him with athletic gear,
allowing him to practice with the
team and paying for correspondence
courses he was taking tc
qualify for admission to USC.

If the charges are true, Palm
should change his mind abou

sity for two reasons. One was t<
build a competitive team in tin
1 Southeastern Conference. The othe
was to run a clean program.
1 I realize Newton seems to hi
running a competitive SEC pro
gram with a 2-2 record in the con
ference, but we haven't seen team
like Florida, Kentucky o
Vanderbilt.
' Also, Newton took over a tear
of experienced seniors this pas
year, only to go 3-14 against SE(
1 opponents.
However, Newton's winning pei
; centage is not an issue here. H
was hired to run a clean program.
So far, the program has alread
taken self-imposed penalties fo
illegally providing transportation t
recruit Percy Eberhart this year.
The Eberhart mistake is undei
standable. A new program wit
new coaches sometimes misse
minute interpretations of NCAv
regulations, but if Newton allowe
Barnes to live in university hous
ing, he has stepped past the limit c
ignorance of regulations an
jumped feet first into the cesspoc
of illegal recruiting practices,
i Reports have also surface
recently of another possible viok
1 tion involving the transportation c
a recruit.
1 If all of this is true, Newton hi
violated the trust of this universit
> and its fans, and he should be lire
with no regrets.
s Palms should not be so compl;
1 cent and comfortable in his belit
that the NCAA will not punis
USC's program severely.

Five Points
igs, 77-57
By NANCY SALOMONSKY
Sports Editor.
The Lady Gamecocks baskethall
team improved its record to
8-5 overall and 3-2 in the
Southeastern Conference after
defeating Georgia on Saturday,
77-57.
South Carolina was led by
senior Marsha Williams, a 6foot-4
center, with 21 points.
Williams was one of five Lady.
Gamecocks in double figures.
senior Lori joyner scoreu i /
points, while senior Michelle
Murray added 13. Freshman
Shannon Johnson and junior
Nikki Bass each scored 10
points.
With 5:06 left in the first half,
the Lady Gamecocks were down
26-19. However, a 7-0 run tied
the game at 26 with 2:37 remaining.
South Carolina went into the
locker room with .a 31-29 lead.
The Lady Gamecocks took
control in the second half after
Georgia Head Coach Andy
Landers drew his first of two
technical fouls. Joyner added the
free throws for South Carolina
after the technical.
"I didn't feel any pressure on
the free throws. I just concentrated
and took my time," Joyner
said.
Landers, who was ejected with
47 seconds left, did not have
much to say about the ejection.
"I had been frustrated throughout
the game. The kids played
hard, the coaches coached hard:
everybody except a couple of
people did a good job. Because
of conference rules, I cannot
make any further comment,"
Landers said.
This was the first South
Carolina victory over Georgia
since Feb. 9, 1978, in the
Winthrop Invitational. After that,
the Lady Bulldogs had won 10
straight. The series record now
stands 11-2 in Georgia's favor.
"We played a good game. It
was very physical, but our player<
exernted well " I JSC Head
Coach Nancy Wilson said.
"South Carolina whipped our
rear inside. We didn't and
couldn't get inside," Landers
said. "South Carolina whipped
us?that has nothing to do with
any tiling else. I don't want to
take anything away from South
Carolina. They played well and
did what they intended to do."
