DENVER (AP) - Alleged academic
violations prompted the presidents and
chancellors of Pacific-10 members to
vote unanimously yesterday to declare
five universities ineligible for the 1980
conference football championship and
any post-season football competition.
The five schools facing the sanctions
are Arizona State, the University of
Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA and the
University of Southern California.
However, conference games played
during the 1980 season will count in the
standings and in the determination of
the conference championship.
According to the report, the in-
stitutions were penalized for
"violations of conference rules and
standards in the areas of unearned
credits, falsified transcripts and the
unwarranted intrusion of athletic
department interests into the academic
processes of the respective univer-
sities."
Pac-10 spokesman Jim Muldoon said
the third violation listed was aimed
only at Southern Cal.
"We're very disappointed about the
decision," Southern Cal football Coach
John Robinson said of the ruling, which
cuts to five the field for a Rose Bowl
berth against the Big Ten champion.
However, Bill Nicholas, chairman of
the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena,
Calif., remained confident the ruling
would not hurt the Rose Bowl.
"We don't see the ruling adversely af-
fecting the Rose' Bowl game, even
though this (Pasadena) is a USC town,"
said Nicholas. "It appears that
Washington and Stanford look like the
front-runners, according to the polls."
Reaction was pointed at UCLA, which
also was ordered to forfeit all of its 1977
football games in which any ineligible
athlete played.
"The incident for which we are being
penalized occurred three years ago,"
said football Coach Terry Donahue.
"I am embarrassed that the academic
integrity of UCLA has been subject to
question."
UCLA Athletic Director Robert A.
Fischer said the penalties his school
received "are very severe. What hap-
pened three years ago was an unwillful
transgression and could not happen
today under our present academic
safeguards."
English retires
PONTIAC (AP) - Doug English, the
Detroit Lions' leading defensive player,
apparently has ended his National
Football League career after five
seasons and one Pro Bowl appearance,
the Lions said yesterday.
English, in a letter from Britain ad-
dressed to Coach Monte Clark, said he
no longer has time to play football and
pursue his business interests across the
Atlantic, said club spokesman Brian
Muir.
Muir said the letter was the, first the
team had heard frpm English since
April.
"I read Doug's decision with con-
siderable regret," Clark said. "He was
our defensive leader and an outstan-
'ding person as well."
Muir said English left with no
animosity toward the club.
The Lions still have him under con-
tract should he decide to play football
again, Muir said. English was a Lions'
representative in the NFL Players
Association.
Randolph retires
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - Leo Ran-
dolph of Tacoma, who lost his World
Boxing Association junior feather-
weight title by a knockout during the
weekend, says he's retiring.
"If it could happen once, it could hap-
pen again," Randolph, 22, said Monday.
"It's not a good feeling to be hurt like
that. I woke up with a headache yester-
day."
Randolph dropped his 122-pound
division championship in the fifth round
of a scheduled 15-rounder at Spokane,
Wash., Saturday to Argentina's Sergio
Palma. He was knocked down twice in
the opening round.
It only was the second loss in 19
professional fights for the 1976 Mon-
treal Olympic Games' gold medalist.
Randolph said he planned to invest
.his purse of $75,000 from the Palma
bout and look for a job in construction.
He earned approximately $150,000 in his
two-year pro career after going 160-7 as
an amateur.

BASEBALL ROUNDUP
Yanks tear Sox, 3.-i
NEW YORK (AP) - Reggie Jackson
hit his 400th career home run and
Aurelio Rodriguez slammed an equally
dramatic two-run homer in the ninth
inning as the New York Yankees
defeated the Chicago White Sox 3-1
Monday night.
Rodriguez, acquired a week ago from
the San Diego Padres, hit his first
homer for New York and third this
season after a double by Lou Piniella
with one out in the ninth off Britt Burns,
10-11. Rudy May, 10-5, scattered four
hits while striking out four to gain his
third straight victory.
Jackson slammed his 31st homer of
the season in the fourth on an 0-1 pitch
from Burns. Jackson thus became the-
19th hitter in major league history to
achieve the 400-homer plateau, sur-
passing Detroit's Hall of Famer, Al
Kaline.
Todd Cruz's third homer, with two out
in the sixth, tied the game for Chicago.
May had retired 16 straight White Sox
since a leadoff single by Leo Sutherland
in the first.
New York mounted a serious threat
in the sixth when Bob Watson and
Jackson each singfed with one out.
Jackson took second on a throwing
error by right fielder Wayne Nor-
dhagen, but Burns retired Eric
Soderholm on an infield grounder and
struck out Rick Cerone.
Orioles 2, Royals 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Eddie
Murray's sixth-inning homer broke up
a pitching duel between Dennis Mar-
tinez and Larry Gura and lifted the
streaking Baltimore Orioles to a 2-1
victory over the Kansas City Royals
last night.
It was the 10th consecutive victory for
the Orioles, who remained 2 games
behind the New York Yankees in the
American League East.
Murray's leadoff homer into the left
field seats off Gura, 16-5, his 20th of the
season and fourth in eight games,
snapped a 1-1 tie.
Baltimore took a 1-0 lead in the first
on consecutive singles by Al Bumbry
and Rich Dauer and a bloop double to
right by Ken Singleton.
The Royals' George Brett, who en-
tered the game batting .390, singled in
the first inning to extend his hitting
streak to 24 games.

The bear roars again
The ageless "Golden Bear" of golf, Jack Nicklaus, is shown here on the 8th hole of last weekend's PGA Championship,
which he won by an amazing seven strokes over Andy Bean. It was the fifth PGA title and the 19th major tournament for
Nicklaus. Earlier this year he ended a two year drought by winning his fourth U.S. Open and it appears from all accounts
that Jack is back!
