EUGENE, Ore. (AP)-The National
Collegiate Athletic Association has
begun a preliminary investigation into
the University of Oregon's athletic
scandal, a. Eugene newspaper said
Tuesday.
The Register-Guard said both univer-
sity and NCAA officials had confirmed
the preliminary inquiry, in which the
NCAA determines whether a full-scale
investigation is warranted.
If the preliminary probe progresses
into a full inquiry, it could be-six mon-
ths to a year before the process is com--
pleted, an NCAA spokesman said.
Ray Hawk, the university's vice
president for finance and ad-
ministration,. acknowledged that the
university's recently received official
notification an investigation had begun.
He said NCAA investigators had been
on campus, though he had not talked
with them.
Telephone fraud and secret travel
agency accounts- are two subjec-
ts-along with other issues-currently
being investigated by a Lane County
grand jury.
So far the grand jury has returned
nine indictments. They charged seven
football players with theft of telephone
services and two former assistant
basketball coaches of first degree theft
in connection with a secret travel agen-
cy account.
Seven University of Oregan football
players, including first-string quarter-
back Reggie Ogburn, also were recen-
tly declared ineligible for receiving
"extra benefits" prohibited by NCAA
rules-airline tickets from the travel
agency where a secret account was
located.
The university intends to appeal to
the NCAA for restoration of the player-
s' eligibility before the season begins.
The preliminary probe is apparently
the first the NCAA has conducted
against the University of Oregon in any
form, university officials said.
