BALTIMORE — Former world welter
weight boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard,
cured of an injury that nearly took his eyesight last
year, said Monday he would return to the ring for
an exhibition match.
Leonard, who doctors said has completely rec
overed from an operation to repair a detached
retina, said he has been working out and sparring
He said the exhibition match is scheduled for
Dec. 10 at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland,
but would not say who he would fight or whether
it signals his return to professional boxing.
“I’m just working out to make sure I look good
at that (exhibition match),’’ he said.
The former world welterweight and World
Boxing Association junior middleweight cham
pion retired from boxing last year after he under
went successful surgery to repair a detached re
tina.
Johns Hopkins doctors said they don’t know if
the damage resulted fom boxing, but said it was
detected early enough to restore perfect vision.
Leonard’s announcement that he would return
to the ring at least temporarily came in a news
conference announcing a new eye research center
that will be named after him at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, where he underwent the eye surgery.
“I realized how valuable my eyesight was and
how much I had taken it for granted,” said
Leonard. T’ve made a lifetime commitment to
part of it (the research center) to bring the public’s
attention to eye diseases.”
Leonard, a native of Palmer Park, Md., is
helping to finance the $5 million center and will
work to raise funds for it, but he would not divulge
exactly how much money he has contributed.
Hopkins officials said the center will be located
in their Wilmer Eye Institute, the world’s most
extensive eye research facility.
They said research at the new center will focus
on the leading causes of blinding disorders that
affect the retina and vital tissues at the back of the
eye.
One in every 20 Americans, nearly 11 million
people, suffers from some type of visual impair
ment, and national polls consistently have shown
that blindness is the most feared medical disabil
ity, Hopkins officials said.
“Eye disease has not achieved the publicity to
attract sufficient funding, probably because no
worldwide celebrity has lent his support to its
study, ” said Dr. Arnall Patz, director of the Wil
mer Eye Institute at the hospital.

United Press International .
[It’s very symbolic that on
anksgiving Day Coach Jerry
Stovall of Louisiana State has his
ad on the chopping block.
[After all, his team was a turkey
is season.
| Stovall leads LSU into action
ainst state rival Tulane Thurs-
y night in what could be his last
line as coach of the Tigers.
jPicked to challenge for the
Southeastern Conference title at
beginning of the season, the
Tigers have struggled to a 3-7
erall record and are 0-6 in the
KC.
ainW Jl That doesn’t sit well with the
r - LSU’s Board of Supervisors. The
nc ' Supervisors last Friday ignored a
lea from former Gov. John
MeKeithen to honor the remain
der of Stovall’s contract, sche-
fuled to expire at the end of the
84 season.
The board said it would listen to
commendations from Brodhead
Rid Wharton at a meeting on Sto-
Idl’s future Dec. 2.
Even the new governor-elect,
Edwin Edwards, has gotten into
it thelfBe aet.
erienffl Edwards said friends and alum-
dofo 1 ni offered LSU a no-strings-
i be J attached $1 million trust fund to
elp attract the “best and bright
est” football coach for the school.
LSU, however, has rejected the
offer.
“They said it was unnecessary,
(and that) whatever coach they
wanted they could attract,” Ed
wards said. “They told me the
LSU coach makes between
$200,000 and $250,000 a year. I
didn’t know that.
Edwards said no strings were
attached to the offer of a $1 million
trust fund, which he said would
earn interest of about $100,000
annually.
“I said that when they decided
who they wish as coach, be it Sto
vall or Mickey Mouse, that I could
help if additional funds were
needed to attract the best and
brightest,” he said.
Although school officials turned
down the trust fund offer, Ed
wards said it would stand if LSU
needed the money later.
Despite all the turmoil sur
rounding each school, Thursday
night’s game figures to bring out
the best in both teams as it usually
does. Who can forget last season
when Tulane, a 24-point under
dog, upset the Orange-bowl
bound Tigers, 31-28?
In the only other game on
Thursday’s schedule, Louisville
entertains Memphis State.
Although most of the major col
leges have finished their regular
season, four of the nation’s top-
ranked teams will be in action
Saturday. No. 1 Nebraska visits
Oklahoma, No. 2 Texas plays host
to Texas A&M and No. 6 SMU
visits Houston.

DALLAS — Since the Dallas
Cowboys are now officially in the
playoffs, they will have some time
perhaps to tinker with areas that
need improvement.
And no area so dramatically
calls for improvement as the
secondary — which currently
ranks dead last in the National
Football League.
“That (the Cowboys’ pass de
fense ranking) is a real statistic,”
Cowboys coach Tom Landry said
Tuesday. “And when you have
that kind of statistic you need to do
other things like make the inter
ceptions and put on a good pass
rush and control the run well. You
can contol the passing yardage in
other ways. ”
Kansas City passed for 432
gross yards against Dallas last Sun
day, only the fourth time the Cow
boys have ever given up that much
yardage in the air. Kansas City
quarterbacks threw the ball 59
times.
Still, the Cowboys won the
game, 41-21.
That victory, combined with
the loss by New Orleans on Mon
day night, clinched at least a wild
card spot in the playoffs for Dallas.
It marks a league record ninth con
secutive year for the Cowboys to
make the post-season competition
and the 17th time in 18 years they
have made it.
“We know we will be playing
somebody, somewhere,’’ said
Landry, “unless the National
Football League folds.”
But just how far can Dallas get
in the playoffs with a secondary
that keeps giving up that much
yardage? Does it negate any hope
of getting to the Super Bowl?
“Not necessarily,” the coach
said. “We can improve and we will
keep trying to do so.
“But you have to remember our
cornerbacks play man-for-man de
fense a lot more than most teams,”
he said. “And this is a passing
game these days. If you play man
defense you are going to have big
plays against you.
“That is why you need to com
pensate by making the big defen
sive plays, too,’ he said. “It’s
when you don’t stop anybody at
anytime that you worry.”
Nevertheless, Landry admit
ted cornerback Everson Walls
(who led the NFL in interceptions
his first two years as a pro) is not
having the kind of season he pro
duced in 1981 and 1982.
“1 think Everson would say he is
not having the kind of year he has
had,” Landry said. “But I have
watched him in the Pro Bowl and
he plays pass defense as well as
anybody in the league. I don’t
know who I would want instead of
him.
“It’s hard to say what causes a
player to have a down year,”
Landry said. “It just happens
sometime.”
Landry said he would classify
the secondary’s performance
against Kansas City as, “poor.”
“But the final criteria,” he said,
“is how many points are scored
against you.”
Around the league
Try telling the Pittsburgh Steelers
that the holidays are a time to be
home.
The Steelers, upset last week in
Three Rivers Stadium by the Min
nesota Vikings, have won five
straight on the road and will try to
make it a club-record sixth on /
Thanksgiving Day against the
Lions in the Silverdome in Pon
tiac, Mich.
The 9-3 Steelers still lead the
AFC Central by two games over
Cleveland, despite fheir 17-14
loss to Minnesota. Another strong
road performance would keep
them in the chase for the home
field advantage through the play
offs.
“But it isn’t like a normal
week,” said Pittsburgh coach
Chuck Noll. “There are some
things you just can’t cover. ”
Noll isn’t wild over playing on
Thursday but when he learned he
would be playing the game, he
prepared as best he could.
“We played the (Philadelphia)
Eagles a pre-season game on a
Thursday just to kind of get a feel
for it,” Noll said.
Pittsburgh has not faced Detroit
since it beat the Lions 24-10 in
1973. The Steelers have not play
ed in Detroit since prevailing 24-
14 in 1967.
Detroit is 6-6 and tied with
Green Bay for second place in the
NFC central Division, one game
behind Minnesota. The Lions
must win or face the prospect of
possibly being two games behind
with three games to play — the
next a Monday night hosting of the
Vikings on Dec. 5.
They helped their cause Sun
day by defeating Green Bay 23-20
in overtime. The Lions drove to
the 15-yard line on their first pos
session of overtime but Ed Mur
ray was wide on a 33-yard field
goal attempt. He got his second
chance just seven plays later, fol
lowing an interception.
“I thought the first kick went
through hut the call was out,
Murray said. “It was still early in
the overtime and I felt we had an
opportunity to get it back. The in
terception was just what we
needed.
“I’m just really getting back into
form,” said Detroit running back
Billy Sims, who missed four games
with a broken hand. “We didift
give up today. We knew we had to
get the game to have a chance to
win the division.”
Detroit has a 20-21-2 record on
Thanksgiving, including three
straight victories over AFC teamfe.
Pittsburgh’s Franco Harris en
ters the game 555 yards short of
Jimmy Brown’s career record of
12,312 yards. !
On Sunday, Baltimore is iit
Cleveland, Houston at Tampa
Bay, Minnesota at New Orleans,
New England at the New York
Jets, Philadelphia at Washington,
San Francisco at Chicago, Buffalo
at the Los Angeles Rams, Denver
at San Diego, Green Bay at Atlan
ta, Kansas City at Seattle, and the
New York Giants at the Los
Angeles Raiders. On Monday
__ night, Cincinnati is at Miami.
r
Things haven’t exactly gone
smoothly this season for Tulane
either. The Green Wave is 4-6 but
school officials spent much of the
year fighting whether quarterback
John English, the coach’s son,
could play after the NCAA said he
had violated the transfer rule.
Both the state and federal courts
both ruled he couldn’t play.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —
rkansas spent its final football
actice in pads Tuesday, concen-
ating on fundamentals for Satur
n’s season finale at Texas Tech.
“We will work in sweat clothes
Wednesday and Thursday so we
anted a brisk practice in pads,”
coach Lou Holtz said. “Our last
ractice in pads was much like the
rst one was. We worked on fun-
amentals and finished with a 3-
on-3 session.
“Except for the 3-on-3 it wasn’t
a particularly good workout but
me of our young guys got a pic-
re of drills they will see many
jimes in the future,” Holtz said.
The Razorbacks were at full
strength except at linebacker
rhere Milton Fields missed prac-
ice because of a knee sprain suf-
3redagainst SMU. Fields may re
urn to practice Wednesday and is
xpected to play against Tech.
Holtz had no idea what type of
[ame to expect Saturday.
