Current Week & What's Ahead

?Not Guilty, But...
Ken Loeffler, charged by the Southwest Conference with illegal recruiting of basketball players for Texas A&M, got both pats and cuffs from school authorities who were asked to investigate. A&M 1) called the charges doubtful and the violations minor even if true; 2) barred Loeffler from any further recruiting; 3) announced he will be kept as coach till his contract runs out a year from now.

?Hot Warmup
Dave Sime finished up the college baseball season (which preoccupied him this spring), switched to the 100-yard dash, ran it in the year's best time: 9.3. But he may not meet Bobby Morrow in the NCAA championships in June; he is likely to be playing baseball for Duke in the college World Series that week.

?A Fabulous Invalid
Tulyar, the costly imported stallion ($672,000) who has been wasting away from an intestinal virus and other ailments since February, now seems on his way to recovery. At Kentucky's Claiborne Farm, Tulyar is eating well, gaining weight.

?The Winner and Still Challenger
Donald Campbell, who set the world speedboat record of 225.63 mph in his jet-powered Bluebird last year, will try for 250 in her this summer. The Bluebird will be shipped to the U.S. from England in June. Attempts at a new record will be made in July or August (according to weather) on New York's Lake Canandaigua.
