About 70 attend a rally seeking football revival By LEILA FADEL STAR-TELEGRAM STAFF WRITER ARLINGTON - Sam deBerry had hoped hundreds of people would march to bring football back to the University of Texas at Arlington, but about 70 turned out for a noon rally Wednesday. "It speaks volumes of where we are as a school," deBerry said. "If any other campus had a rally, they would have had thousands of students. We have very little school spirit." The Mavericks for Football Now and other students, many in T-shirts emblazoned with the words, "Got football? (we don't)" walked with deBerry from the University Center Mall to Davis Hall, where the university president's office is housed. "What do we want?" deBerry yelled through a bullhorn. "Football," the small crowd of football activists yelled back. DeBerry started the group this year to attempt what no one has been able to do, bring a football team back to UT-Arlington. The program was disbanded after the 1985 season. Armed with a petition with about 3,000 signatures and a booming voice emanating from a bullhorn, deBerry asked James Spaniolo to come outside. "Mr. President, your student body would like a word with you," deBerry said. Instead, Frank Lamas, vice president for student affairs, walked forward with his arm extended. He had been waiting with five UT-Arlington police officers. Just in case. "The president isn't here," he said. Spaniolo was at a faculty meeting across campus. The activist pleaded his case to Lamas, asking why the campus would expand and renovate the Activities Building for $34 million but ignore football. "We love our university, and we love our city. We just want to build a sense of pride," deBerry said. Lamas thanked him, reiterated the president's goal of first breathing life into current sports and took the petition. One student who did not want to be identified asked deBerry why he would want football when barely anyone turns out to watch the basketball team, which plays in an auditorium. Somewhat dejected, deBerry and other members of the group folded up their large "WE WANT FOOTBALL" banners and walked away. The movement will continue, deBerry said. The group is forming a club football team to play in the Texas United Football League and will begin a $20 million pledge drive after the new year. "We fight the good fight. We won't rest until we bring football to UTA," he said. DeBerry paused. "OK, off to lunch."

Boy died after friends imitated wrestling movesAssociated Press JAKARTA, Indonesia -- An Indonesian TV station has pulled several popular U.S. wrestling shows off the air amid allegations that a 9-year-old boy may have died while children he was playing with were imitating the moves of their muscle-bound heroes. A police investigation into the death of Reza Fadillah is under way. Officials have so far declined to comment on their findings. The Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. issued a statement saying it was "confident" its shows had nothing to do with the fatality. By Wednesday, Lativi TV had pulled "SmackDown" and all other World Wrestling Entertainment programs off the air, following weeks of pressure from parents and educators who say the shows encouraged violent behavior in children, station spokeswoman Linda Rifai said. Reza died Nov. 16 in the West Java city of Bandung, several weeks after three of his friends threw him to the ground and pinned him "'SmackDown'-style," his father, Herman Suratman, said Thursday. He said the boy's X-rays showed internal chest wounds. "Let my son be the last victim," he told The Associated Press. "This is a lesson, not only for Lativi and the government, but also for us parents to pay more attention to our children ... In this era of multimedia, bad influences can easily reach our boys and girls." The parents of a 4-year-old boy and at least eight other students have filed complaints saying their children also suffered injuries, from broken bones to vomiting blood, after practicing "SmackDown" moves. World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. described the parents' account of Reza's death as "incomplete" and "highly suspicious." "Although the death of any child is a tragedy, WWE is confident that the investigative conclusions will be that the death of this child had nothing to do with WWE programming," the statement said.
