PRINT THIS PAGE | E-MAIL THIS PAGE Friday, July 31, 1998 Two UT football starters arrested AUSTIN (AP) -- New University of Texas football coach Mack Brown says he will wait on the judicial system before deciding on possible team sanctions against two linemen arrested on alcohol-related charges. The players, both seniors, were identified by UT as center Russell Gaskamp and guard Ben Adams. Gaskamp is charged with driving while intoxicated. Adams is charged with public intoxication. UT officials said they were arrested in Austin's Sixth Street area early Saturday by an agent of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. "When the situation is investigated thoroughly and any possible legal action is concluded, we will determine what action would best educate the young man. Any action will be handled within the team," Brown said. Gaskamp, 6-foot-4, 305 pounds, is from Weatherford, Okla. He has been projected to replace center Ryan Fiebiger. Gaskamp missed all of last season with a back injury but returned for spring drills. Adams, 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, from LaMirada, Calif., has started 24 straight games, at left guard in 1996 and right guard in 1997. "We take a strong stance against drinking and an even stronger position concerning drinking and driving in our program," Brown said. "With that in mind, we don't treat any case that involves drinking lightly. Obviously it is extremely important to gather all the facts in the case and discuss them with (the players) and their families before making any decisions," Brown said.   Send a Letter to the Editor about This Story | Start or Join A Discussion about This Story Send the URL (Address) of This Story to A Friend: Enter their email address below: texnews.com Reporter OnLine Local Sports Texas Sports Copyright ©1998, Abilene Reporter-News / Texnews / E.W.
