All championships would be subject to testing" Toner said that the testing would be used in conjunction with drug education programs that are being implemented at colleges nationwide. He said that many colleges thought that drug education programs would be sufficient to combat the problem, but following the lead of the USOC, they began to realize that drug testing also was necessary I "During this year between 50 and 60 Division institutions have instituted some sort of drug testing The rules adopted by the WTA will be submitted for approval to the Women's International Professional Tennis Council, which meets next week.

Robinson said it is those players, and the hundreds more who didn't go on to the pros, who should get credit for any record "I've been paid to coach, and I enjoy coaching," he said. "Truthfully. I feel there are a lot of other people who could have been here, if theyd had my tenure with these players. I can only accept the honors on their behalf. I can't push my appreciation back to the people who played and coached, but it really doesn't belong to me," he said. Robinson tries to his approach to this milestone, just as he did when he neared the mark three seasons ago. "You just try to win the next game, he said. "You try to keep the kids out of it and keep their minds on the game. "I really thought I had done that for 300.
