College Basketball

The Purdue Calumet women’s basketball team, which has lost six players because of injury, illness, grades or unexpected departure, has canceled the rest of its schedule.

The Lady Lakers have played only two games, with a victory over Robert Morris and a loss to Taylor. Seven players dressed for the last game, Dec. 29, but injuries hampered several of them, Coach Gary Hayes said.

College Football

The rules committee of the American Football Coaches Assn. has recommended unanimously to the NCAA rules committee that college football teams be allowed to declare the color jersey they will wear for home games.

The recommendation came after Louisiana State Coach Gerry DiNardo asked that the school be allowed to wear white jerseys at home. The NCAA ruled in 1982 that visiting teams were white.

DiNardo’s former secretary at Vanderbilt, June Jakes, has been reassigned to the athletic department ticket office after being suspended for shoving a Tennessee fan at a game last season.
