Bias's death latest
problem for Driesell
By DAVID GINSBURG
Associated Press Writer
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - The
death of All-American Len Bias is the
latest in a series of controversies and
scandals that have dogged University
of Maryland basketball Coach Lefty
Driesell, who now must contend with
a grand jury and questions about
alleged drug use on the team.
Driesell, 54, has not had a losing
season since his first year as a college
coach at Davidson in 1960. He is one of
only 17 coaches to win 500 games with
10 or more years at a Division I
school, and in his 17-year career at
Maryland his teams have won 20
games on 11 different occasions while
finishing in the Associated Press Top
20 eight times.

But Driesell’s tenure has been
spotted by a controversy. Most re
cently there has been speculation that
Driesell instructed players how to
respond to questions from reporters
and police investigating Bias’ death.
Driesell denies those rumors, but
Prince George’s County, Md., State’s
Attorney Arthur A. Marshall said, “If
these rumors are wrong, we’ll give
him a chance to talk about it (at a
grand jury hearing).”
Marshall said preliminary indica
tions are that cocaine was in Bias’ car
the morning of his death. The pros
ecutor told The Associated Press this
week that he will ask that Driesell,
several basketball players and other
students and friends answer ques-
tions from a grand jury about drug
sales on the school’s College Park
campus.
Since. Driesell took over the
Maryland program in 1969 his teams
have featured many players who
went on to star in the NBA. But those
squads also included:
• Herman Veal, who was accused
of forcing sexual attentions on a coed
in her dormitory room. Driesell was
later the subject of a review panel
after it was alleged he tried to call the
student to pressure her to drop the
complaint.
• Adrian Branch and Steve Riv
ers, who were arrested and charged
with possession of marijuana.
• Bias, Jeff Baxter and John John
son, who were suspended last season
for missing curfew.
• And three players, including
Bias last Thursday, who have col
lapsed and died of heart failure either
during or after their collegiate ca
reers. Owen Brown collapsed on Feb.
4, 1976, shortly after his graduation,
and Chris Patton died April 1,1976 of
Marfan Syndrome only weeks after
completing his sophomore season.
Driesell first came under fire fol
lowing the Veal incident. After the
woman charged Veal with the sex
offense, Driesell allegedly telephoned
the student three times on March 5,
1983. The woman was quoted in local
newspapers as saying that Driesell
told her that her “name would be
dragged through the mud” if she did
not drop her complaint against Veal.
Driesell later claimed the calls
were made to obtain information on
the case, and following an investiga
tion by a three-member faculty com
mittee he was simply reprimanded
by Chancellor John B. Slaughter.
The director of Maryland’s student
legal aid office complained that Drie
sell should have been forced to re
sign.
“I’m an honorable man, I’ve got
discretion,” Driesell said at the time.
On Jan. 28,1984, Branch and Rivers
were arrested .for possession of $lO
worth of marijuana. Driesell immedi
ately suspended both from the team,
but reinstated them after they were
found guilty of misdemeanor posses
sion and sentenced to a $2OO fine, 30
hours of community service and six
months probation.

W. Germany takes on Cinderella role in Cup
By BARRY WILNER
AP Sports Writer
MEXICO CITY (AP) The French heat the
defending World Cup champion Italians and pre
tournament favorite Brazil. Argentina knocked off
South American champ Uruguay and well-re
garded England. Belgium upset the Soviet Union
and Spain.
Only West Germany has not been impressive en
route to the semifinals of the' world soccer
championship.
But the Germans are there, and they will meet
France on tommorow at Guadalajara. The other
game pits the surprising Belgians against Argenti
na at Aztec Stadium in Mexico City.
“We have not played up to our potential, espe
cially when we attack,” said West German Coach
Franz Beckenbauer. “We need more organization
on attack.”
The Germans tied Uruguay, edged Scotland and
Bookmakers unlucky in picking World Cup
MEXICO CITY (AP) - Britain’s
legal bookmakers, usually a reliable
barometer of sporting potential,
proved less than accurate when as
sessing the prospects of the 24 World
Cup teams.
Belgium, France and West Ger
many, all of whom are only one game
away from Sunday’s final, were
ranked as outsiders by Ladbrokes on
the eve of the tournament.

Their second-place finish in Group E got them into
the second round, against Morocco. It took them 88
minutes before they scored the game’s only goal.
Against Mexico in the quarterfinals, West Ger
many’s offense again floundered. The Germans
finally prevailed in a shootout after 120 minutes of
scoreless soccer in which the Mexicans cleat-ly
had the better of play.
“We must get our execution together,” Becken
bauer said, noting that his team has scored just
four goals in five games.'
Still, no one in the German camp is shivering at
the prospect of facing the European champions. In
the 1982 World Cup semifinals, West Germany
eliminated France on penalty kicks, then lost the
final to Italy.
“The French are a very strong, very talented
team, but I think we have a good chance,” Becken
bauer said.
After beating Brazil 4-3 on penalty kicks Satur-
Ladbrokes rated the French,' Euro
pean champions and beaten semifi
nalists four years ago in Spain, at a
very generous 14-1 to win the title.
West Germany, two-time champion
and beaten finalist in Spain, also was
ranked at 14-1, presumably on the
basis of its poor form in warmup
matches.

title in eight years, was one of the

day, the French players turned their attention to
West Germany. Defender Patrick Battiston has
his own memories of the Germans, particularly
goalkeeper, Harald Schumacher.
In the 1982 game, Battiston was charging in on a
breakaway when Schumacher came out of the goal
at full speed and crashed into Battiston with his
knees and fists. Battiston was carried off on a
stretcher and spent six months recovering from a
broken jaw, broken teeth and vertebrae injuries.
“I don’t think I will come anywhere near the
German goal,” Battiston said. “I don’t plan to
come closer than 40 meters. I’ll be more prudent
this time. '
“I’ve paid my dues.”
If West Germany beats France, it will have
defender Thomas Berthold back for the finals. He
was ejected from the quarterfinal win when he hit
Fernando Quirarte of Mexico. FIFA could have
suspended him for two matches but chose, to
sideline him for just the semifinal.
