Sports Walker agrees to 5-year contract with Cowboys Schramm's longshot pq big dividend THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Becoming the highest-paid mem ber of the Dallas Cowboys ever, run ning back Herschel Walker agreed Wednesday to a five-year contract and said he was looking forward to joining Tony Dorsett in the back- field. But Dorsett, upon finding out about Walker’s salary, estimated at about $1 million annually, said he would consider asking for a trade. “If they are paying another run ning back more, I don’t want to be here,” said Dorsett, a 10-year vet eran whose contract was renego tiated last summer. “I will ask for a trade, yes.” Dorsett, who makes about $450,000 per season, said “I’m un happy about it no doubt, who wouldn’t be? I’m on the verge of passing Jim Brown to become the second all-time leading rusher in NFL history and you’re going to bring in a guy who has not contrib uted one yard to (the team’s) success and you are going to pay him twice as much as you pay me. I’m defi nitely upset.” Earlier, Dorsett said it would be a “dream” to be in the same backfield with Walker. Walker, unaware of Dorsett’s re action, said he was hoping to be in shape to play in Dallas’ final exhibi tion game. “I hope I can play by the last pre season game,” said Walker, who was listed at the bottom of the depth chart at tailback behind Dorsett and Robert Lavette. “I want to be 100 percent when I play. Of course, Herschel Walker when I do play is up to Coach (Tom) Landry.” Walker, a fifth-round NFL draft gamble by Dallas in 1985, admitted “I’m very far behind. But I’ll work hard.” Walker, 24, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner who set a profes sional football rushing record for one season with 2,411 yards, reached a handshake agreement at dawn with the Cowboys after a 22- hour bargaining session between agent Peter Johnson and club presi dent Tex Schramm. He watched karate movies during the negotations. “A handshake is good enough,” said Walker, who perhaps was the most heralded player in the USFL as a member of the New Jersey Gener als. “I feel honored to join the Cow boys because they are a class team” Walker said. “I don’t know what I can contribute this year because I have a lot of catching up to do. I al ways put my life in the Lord’s hands. I prayed and asked the Lord to get everything over with. I wanted to play football. I think the Lord works in mysterious ways.” An elated Schramm said, “This is a great milestone for this team. I feel just like I did the day we traded for Tony Dorsett. We have us a great football player.” Walker, who said he was eager to get his NFL career started, flew to New Jersey to wrap up personal business. He will return to training camp on Friday and make his first appearance wearing his familiar No. 34 on a Cowboys’jersey. Team officials said he would be in uniform for Saturday night’s presea son game against the Los Angeles Raiders, but would not play. Walker said he couldn’t wait to team with Dorsett, the NFL’s third all-time leading rusher. “It would be an honor to play with him because Tony has a lot of class,” Walker said, “just look at what he has accomplisiied. I’ve always ad mired Tony. We’re not going to have any problems. We both want to win.” Landry said he would not change the Cowboys’ offense, but would “adjust it to Walker’s talents. Of course, he will have to start out at the bottom of the depth chart.” Walker was released from a per sonal services contract by Generals’ owner Donald Trump, who took the action after the USFL decided to de lay play until at least the fall of 1987. DALLAS (AP) — “The Big[ rito,” as some Dallas Cowboys’sij ers call him, likes to play longshots.

Dutch Baughman, Associate Di rector of the SWC, told The Battal ion Wednesday the NCAA should reveal by the end of the week whether or not athletes, who took and passed the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT) entrance exams on re sidual testing dates rather than na tional testing dates, will be eligible to play their freshman year. “When the first interpretation (of Prop. 48) came out, it said the tests had to be taken on national dates and no residual tests,” Baughman explained. “Well, we had never seen residual tests and we didn’t know what it was. So we called the NCAA and they told us (a residual test) was a test taken on a campus. Well, the national tests are taken on a campus, too!” Baughman said the SAT and ACT offices told him residual tests are offered on different dates than the national tests and must meet three conditions in order to be ac cepted by the colleges. Those three conditions are: • The tests must be open to the public. • Tests must be administered un der normal testing conditions. • Tests must be administered by the authorized testing personnel. Since February, all nine SWC schools operated under the interpre tation that residual tests were accep table until the July 2 NCAA News refuted that interpretation. Texas A&M Athletic Counselor Don Hunt said no A&M athletes have been affected by the residual testing problem. However, recruit Percy Waddle of Columbus was ruled ineligible because he did not meet the minimum SAT score of 700 set by Prop. 48. very many needles at the timdiBen; what many considered his folly, iplm "I imagine there are a lot of pci liam pie in the NFL today askingtiiHhie question now why they didn't titKake him in the fourth round,” Schrarl said. “Now, what we were hopini might happen has happened."

(AP) — The University of Maryland will cancel or reschedule all seven of its fall semester basketball games to ease academic pressures on athletes, university Chancellor John B. Slaughter said Wednesday. Practice also will be limited before and during final exams. Long and David Gregg, have been indicted on cocaine possession and obstruction of justice charges in con nection with the Bias death. Slaughter characterized the schedule change as an emergency action to ensure that athletes are given a chance to succeed academi cally. “The worst thing we could do would be nothing,” Slaughter told a news conference. “I think it will prove to be tremendously benefi cial.” Slaughter said basketball players have been under a great deal of stress since the cocaine-related death of All-American Ten Bias on June 19. The rescheduling and cancella tions will cost the university between $75,000 and $100,000 from lost gate receipts, according to Athletic Direc tor Dick Dull. “We will try to put as many games as possible in the winter break,” Dull said. The fall semester ends on Dec. 19. The chancellor also announced a restructuring of the athletic depart ment academic counseling program to place a greater emphasis on class room performance. Two of Bias’ teammates, Terry “I think the pressures they (the athletes) should have on them should be on the academic level, not the athletic level,” Dull said. “If we’re competitive, fine. If we’re not competitive, we’ll deal with that as well.” Major League Baseball illi mmmm AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division w L Pet. GB w L Pet.
