Page 16/The Battalion/Wednesday, May 2, 1984 SWC standouts selected in first round of NFL draft United Press International Mossy Cade and Russell Car ter dueled for honors and pub licity throughout their South west Conference careers. But the battle turned out to be a standoff. But on the day that their pro fessional careers began, Cade came out a narrow winner. Cade, an all-America de fensive back from Texas, be came the first Southwest Con ference player taken in the draft Tuesday. The San Diego Chargers took Cade as the sixth player selected in the draft. Four picks later Carter was chosen by the New York Jets. Cade and Carter were two of four SWC players picked in the opening round of the NFL draft. The same number of SWC performers selected in the first round a year ago. Arkansas defensive end Ron Faurot was the 15th player taken. Faurot went to the New York Jets in what turned out to be an early run on SWC players by that team.

(Across from Manor IZast Mall) 779-9484 Texas A&M linebacker Billy Cannon was the surprise open ing-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys. Two other potential first- round choices from the SWC opted for teams in the United States Football League — offen sive tackle Mark Adickes of Baylor and defensive back Alanda Smith of TCU. Last year’s first-round NFL picks from the SWC were Eric Dickerson of SMU, Billy Ray Smith of Arkansas, Gary An derson of Arkansas and Gabe Rivera of Texas Tech. Anderson, however, wound up in the USFL with the Tampa Bay Bandits. Rivera was an out standing prospect with the Pitts burgh Steelers until he fell vic tim to a tragic auto accident that left him paralyzed. While five SWC players went in the second round a year ago, only three were taken in the same round Tuesday.Texas linebacker Ed Williams by New England, Texas offensive guard Doug Dawson by St. Louis and Baylor receiver Bruce Davis by Cleveland. Baylor running back Alfred Anderson had been expected to be a high pick, but he lasted un til the third round, being se lected by the Minnesota Vi kings. Anderson, however, was only the second running back taken in the draft. He was the second leading ground gainer in the SWC last year, averaging 104.6 yards per contest. Other third-round picks from the SWC included Texas defensive back Fred Acorn by Tampa Bay and TCU defensive back Kyle Clifton by the New York Jets. A pair of SWC play ers went in the fourth round as Indianapolis tabbed Texas de fensive back Craig Curry and Cleveland selected Rickey Bolden, a tight end from SMU. Kansas City also selected Texas A&M linebacker Jeff Paine and Aggie linebacker Jeff Fuller went to San Francisco. The 49ers also used a pick a Southern Methodist defensive tackle Michael Carter. Houston went for Texas Christian line backer Robert Lyles and Minne sota picked Allen Rice, a Baylor riming back. Keith Guthie, a defensive tackle from A&M, went to San Diego in the sixth round while Dallas took Houston linebacker Eugene Lockhart in the same round. Three SWC defenders went in the seventh round as Minnesota tabbed Texas tackle John Haines, Buffalo called Texas Tech back Stan David and New Orleans went for SMU tackle Mitch Willis. Kii"i NFL Drcin to Defensive prospects dominate first round pidi^ tF* 11 lK lJ United Press International NEW YORK — Ignoring the minimal talent available at the offensive positions, NFL clubs concentrated heavily on drafting for their defense early in the annual draft Tuesday. For the first time in a de cade, no quarterback was se lected on the opening round. With the United States Football League having taken star quarterback Steve Young of Brigham Young and Heis- man Trophy winner Mike . Rosier of Nebraska, New En gland selected wide receiver Irving Fryar of Nebraska. Fryar’s teammate, guard Dean Steinkuhler, was picked second by Houston, efensive players became the focus of successive picks, and at one point in the first round, 12 consecutive defensive players were chosen. “There’s an old theory that says you’ve got to able to stop them," said Jets’ Coach Joe Walton. “Defense has been a priority many times and this year is no exeption.” The first quarterback picked was Maryland’s Boomer Esiason, taken by Cincinnati in the second round. The only one running back taken in the first two rounds was Notre Dame's in jury-plagued Greg Bell. Buffalo took Bell in the 26th choice of the first round, and it marked the first time since the combined draft be gan in 1967 that only one running back was drafted in the first round. It also was only the second time since the combined draft began that NFL clubs failed to draft a quarterback on the first round. No quarterback was chosen in 1974 in comparison to last year’s opening round, where six quarterbacks were taken. The New York Giants made the first “open” selec tion, taking Michigan State linebacker Carl Banks. Phila delphia then chose Penn State wide receiver Kenny Jackson, whom the Eagles signed immediately. Kansas City’s selection of Pittsburgh defensive tackle Bill Maas with the No. 5 was the first in a string of 12 con secutive defensive choices. San Diego took defensive back Mossy Cade of Texas and Cincinnati, with its first of three opening-round selec tions, took linebacker Ricky Hunley of Arizona. The Colls, now in India napolis, made Vanderbilt de fensive back Leonard (x>le- man their first of two opening-round choices and Atlanta took Rick Bryan, a defensive tackle from Okla homa. The New York Jets used their first of two opening round choices to take Russell Carter, a defensive back from Southern Methodist, and Chicago chose Florida line backer Wilber Marshall. Green Bay selected defensive tackle Alphonso Carreker of Florida State.

Province’s province: stiffened’ Linsemon sparks Oiler victory Edmonton heads to Stanley Co ilidarily ikl. One s United Press International Ken Linseman scored a power-play goal in the third pe riod Tuesday night, sparking the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-1 victory over the Minnesota North Stars and a 4-0 sweep of the Campbell Conference se ries. The Oilers advance to the Stanley Cup finals for the sec ond straight year, and will face the winner of the Montreal- New York Islanders series. The Isles, who defeated the Oilers in four straight games last year, defeated Montreal 3-1 Tuesday night to even their best-of-seven Wales Conference series at two games apiece. At Bloomington, Minn., Lin seman gave Edmonton a 2-0 lead at 7:38 of the third period after the North Stars were pe nalized for having too many players on the ice. The Oilers’ center notched his ninth goal of the playoffs by tapping in a re bound of Jari Kurri’s shot. Dino Ciccarelli scored Min nesota’s lone goal at 10:35 of the third period, firing a 25- foot slapshot past Edmonton goalie Grant Fuhr. Kurri followed with an empty-net goal, his 13th of the playoffs, at 19:11 of the third period after Minnesota pulled goaltender Gilles Meloche for an extra skater. After a scoreless first period, Edmonton defenseman Don Jackson opened the scoring with his first goal of the playoffs at 4:58 of the second period. Jackson deked North Stars’ de fenseman Brad Maxwell and poked the puck past a diving Meloche. Meloche, starting for the first time since Game 2 of the open ing series with Chicago, made 30 saves. Fuhr stopped 24 of 25 shots, including a point-blank blast by Keith Acton in the sec ond period. Cowboys searching for catalysl CAR CARE SPECIALS GOOD THRU SUNDAY MAY 13! United Press International DALLAS — Dallas head coach Tom Landry has made it dear, since the team’s late-sea- son fold last season, that the 1984 edition of the Cowboys will need a catalyst. Landry made that more than obvious with the Cowboys’ early selections in Tuesday’s NFL draft. Dallas selected physical players to become the catalyst Landry spoke about. After the Cowboys made their second-round pick Tues day, which turned out to be Col orado defensive back Victor Scott, Landry said: “You want to pick players that make an impact on your team. And the way he (Scott) hits means he has a chance to have an impact on the team.” The same could be said of Billy Cannon, Jr., the aggressive linebacker from Texas A&M who was made the Cowboys’ No. 1 pick Tuesday. One of the weakest areas of the Cowboys the past few years has been their special teams. Despite the finding of instant hero Bill Bates from the free agent ranks last year, the Cow boy special teams were far be low the usual high standards set for them by the team’s coaches. “We’re looking for our spe cialty teams to improve,” Landry said before the draft. “We need more players like Bates.
