NCAA delays decision 2 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The National Collegiate Athletic Association will take no disciplinary ac- tion before December against football teams who approve a College Football Association television contract, an NCAA -attorney told a federal judge during a hearing yesterday. Richard Andrews, an NCAA attorney from Kansas City, told U.S. District Judge Luther Eubanks, that no action will be taken against any of the schools approving the CFA-NBC television con- tract until the NCAA holds a special convention Dec. 3-4 in St. Louis regar- dless of whether Eubanks issues the preliminary injunction to prevent it. Fred Davidson, president of the ' University of Georgia, testified he and. other NCAA members initially for- mulated the CFA to institute within the NCAA stronger standards and rules for academic entrance. r____ _ a - < -.- . a *4. *9 4 . . - BicyceC Courier Service * AIRLINE TICKETS * EXPRESS MAIL * PRINTING ORDERS " PACKAGES, We offer university offices: * better access to campus and downtown locations than motorized vehicles * speedy deliveries (within 2-4 hours anywhere in Ann Arbor; rush, within I hour, available at additional cost) * personal contact and proof of receipt * a chance to save staff time and avoid parking problems Already serving many University of Michigan offices!, 994=112- Monday=Friday 9-5 ,. p.' returns.

Add to that a first year coach and the outlook for this year's thinclads might not seem too bright. On the contrary, the women Wolverines have developed a powerful squad. FORMER OLYMPIAN France Krader Goodridge has already guided the cross country team to its first vic- tory against Bowling Green, 23-34, as the rookie mentor replace former coach Ken Simmons. "There's been no trouble (in making the transition)," said Goodridge, the Michigan graduate, "I wish it could have happened earlier. I won't be caught up till the cross country season is over." While Goodridge might be a bit behind, her runners are right on the top of things. Support the March of Dimes BIRTH DEFECTS FOUNDATION MELANIE WEAVER, the most talented runner on the women's squad, has already claimed a first place against the Falcons setting a new cour- se record with a time of 18:20.2 for the 5000 meters. Last year Weaver had a spectacular season, finishing as the top Michigan runner in every cross country meet. The Scottville native finished eighth in the Big Ten and claimed five Michigan records during her sophomore year. "Melanie has been called ouir, All- American candidate because we feel she is very close to making it. I would think she would make it this year, if not in cross country then track ... possibly both," commented Goodridge. ALSO RETURNING from last year is junior Lisa Larsen who started her athletic career at Michigan as a swim- mer but has since changed her devotion to track. During the 1980 season Larsen finished 12th in the Springbank event, a race with more than 230 entries. She is also considered one of the most im- proved runners on the team. The freshmen are also making their mark on the squad already. Judy Yuhn, of Milford, finished in a scoring position during her first collegiate meet when she placed sixth in last weekend's meet. WHILE THE season started on the right foot, the rest of the campaign is still up in the air. "It wouldn't be fair for me to predict (the outcome of the Big Ten)," Goodridge noted. "When other teams lose runners they just seem to pick up three freshmen." The Wolverines will have their first major test this weekend when they travel to Lexington to compete in the Kentucky Invitational. The meet will be the first chance for Goodridge to see another Big Ten team when they face off against Purdue, which finished among the top three teams in the con- ference last year. After Kentucky, the cross country team will continue with road trips, sin- ce its schedule is void of any home meets. On September 27 they will travel to London, Ontario to compete in the Springbank Invitational. This meet will also be the opening event for the men's, cross country squad. 663-6771 h.
