EUGENE (AP) - Bill Bower man, the former Oregon track coach now working for the Nike shoe company, denied Tuesday that he had any part in launch ing a controversy over possible eligibility violations by Oregon track and field athletes In a news release made public by his lawyer, Robert Lowry of Eugene, Bowerman said the controversy was a "red herring which has been created by University officials to divert at tention from their patent mishandling of problems with in the athletic department " The controversy, which arose last week, involved allegations that two athletes received equipment from the Adidas and Nike shoe companies and that a third athlete received a $450 check from Nike for consultant work Bowerman is senior vice president of Nike Inc. Present coach Bill Dellinger has a per sonal services contract with Adidas. Dellinger and Athletic Direc tor Rich Bay said last week that Bowerman initiated the allega tions that Oregon athletes might have violated National Col legiate Athletic Association regulations and eligibility con ditions by accepting equipment and money Bowerman’s news release said he neither complained to the university nor began an in vestigation concerning possible NCAA violations The release also said Bowerman does not believe athletes’ receipt of equipment and shoes violates NCAA rules The allegations were discussed in a letter written by Curt Sipiic, vice president for University relations, on Sept 17. The letter, which was addressed to Bowerman, became public last Wednesday The letter appeared to be a response to concerns raised by Bowerman tnat uregon aimeies were accepting equipment The letter indicated that Simic had investigated the matter and dis covered several instances of athletes receiving shoes or clothing from the two compan Bowerman denied any know ledge of the letter when con tacted by the Emerald last Wed nesday Win may pay Alberto NEW YORK (AP) - Alberto Salazar and Grete Waitz could receive as much as $18,000 in under-the-table money for their victories in the New York City Marathon, the New York Times reported in its Tuesday editions. According to the newspaper, Salazar could receive as much as $18,000 for his third con secutive title and Waitz $14,000 for winning the women's divi sion for the fourth time. The Times attributed the reports to “several prominent running coaches" who were not identified. Coaches, athletes andtof ficials of the New York Road Runners Club would not dis cuss the payment structure publicly, since such official recognition could jeopardize the competitors' amateur standing, the Times reported Coaches said they were not in formed about the specific payment structure until after the event because, they said, race officials told them they wanted to avoid pre-race news leaks or unfavorable publicty that might accompany such disclosures. The newspaper said as much as $125,000 in "under-the-table expense payments may be dis tributed to the top 15 male fin ishers and the first 12 women." Harper released PORTLAND (AP) - Portland General Manager Stu Inman said Tuesday that forward Mi chael Harper would be the final player cut from the Trail Blazer roster prior to the start of the National Basketball Association season New league uommuea irom rdge hd can't see throwing our people into Pac-10 competition without any funding.' "I think this is a good step, because it's a step up, and yet it’s not as high as we want to be,'' Voelz said “We not only enter things, but we try to lead And I think that Oregon has been a leader in the NorPac Conference,'' Voelz said Sciaraffa agrees There is no doubt about the fact that Oregon has stepped forward and taken on a leadership role in the NorPac,’’ she said. Among the Oregon programs which will lead the way on the field will be Heinonen's cross country squad But the coach doesn't see any advantage for cross country in participating in a conference championship meet since his team will not be r challenged "Maybe when we see what a conference trophy looks like it will mean more," he said Track, however, will benefit, he said. "It will give us a more viable conference meet (than the NCWSA) It will be a far bet ter meet, which is really good for us because we need a high level of competition.” Heinonen and Heiny, like Voelz, would like to see a Pac-10 for women "I want to be in the Pac-10." Heinonen said "It (NorPac) is a step in the right direction if it's not the final step." "The Pac-10 is probably the ultimate we could ask for," said Heiny "It would be simpler for the athletic department to have everyone under one set of rules " Sciaraffa understands the desire to be a Pac-10 member, but she doesn't see it as finan cially viable in the near future She hopes that the desire to be Pac-10 doesn’t take away from the commitment to the NorPac This conference has the po tential to have the same level of prestige as the Pac-10,” she said I would be disappointed if any of our members weren’t committed to improving the prestige of this conference " Voelz isn't about to forget the NorPac. "We hope to elevate the NorPac," she said "Who knows how long it’s going to be around It it's around for three years great It’s one of those things that ideally, we eventually want to go Pac-10 so that the Pac-10 office can serve us The Pac-10 name is known ’’ ★ LAW PRACTICE READY - MADE FOR UNDERGRADUATES * GRADUATES TTTT.F T 1 A MARINE CORPS OFFICER SELECTION OFFICER WILL BE ON YOUR CAMPUS DATE: 27 and 28 OCTOBER TIME: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ♦GUARANTEED law program ♦START $22,000 PLACE: Lobby EMU PHONE: (503) 221-3016 (Collect) ♦advanced education ♦leadership skills SEE CAPTAIN DURDEN.
