ASSOCIATED PRESS The NFL draft gained two blue- chip players and a touch of intrigue Tuesday when University of Miami quarterback Steve Walsh announced his intention to turn pro and the league granted admission to Heis- man Trophy winner Barry Sanders. Sanders, who threatened to go to court if necessary to enter the NFL, learned that he wouldn’t have to. T he NFL granted his request to enter the April 23 draft because his school, Oklahoma State, is on NCAA probation and because coach Pat Jones and athletic director Myron Roderick support him. “We’ve always believe it best for both professional and college foot ball that the NFL’s eligibility rules not work to disrupt college pro grams or players’ educational oppor tunities,” said NFL spokesman Joe Browne. “But when an underclassman whose program is under NCAA sanctions decides to turn pro with the full support, of his college coach and athletic director and when he has lost any remaining college foot ball eligibility in the process, we have no realistic choice but to accept him.” Half an hour later, Walsh an nounced he would give up his final year of eligibility, but he didn’t spec ify whether he would petition for the regular draft or one of the two sup- plementals — either in July or Sep tember. Walsh, considered the second or third best quarterback available. doesn’t need league permission be cause he plans to graduate this sum mer. The 5-foot-9, 183 pound Sanders, who broke or tied 24 NCAA records last year while rushing for 39 touch downs and 2,628 yards, is far more aware of his status. As it stands now, the Detroit Lions, who choose third, are desperate for speed and are likely to take him. Walsh, on the other hand, is ranked with Washington State’s Timm Rosenbach — another junior who may go in either the regular or supplemental drafts — one level be low UCLA’s Troy Aikman. Aikman was considered a cinch to be taken by the Dallas Cowboys, who choose first, until the team was pur chased in February by Jerry Jones. Jones named Walsh’s college coach, Jimmy Johnson, to replace Tom Landry. Hence the intrigue. Johnson, who is on the road scout ing, reiterated Tuesday through Cowboys’ spokesman Greg AieUo that he will not make a decision on his choice until the day of the draft. It’s considered possible he could trade the choice to a team like Kan sas City, which picks fourth, or San Diego, which picks eighth, for a combination of picks and players and then take Walsh. But he was noncomittal Tuesday. “Steve Walsh was an outstanding player for us at the University of Mi ami. There’s no question that he’s a winner,” Johnson said. “I feel he will be a productive player in the NFL ... still in but we are process. the evaluation Kings, Oilers meet; NHL playoffs begin ASSOCIATED PRESS The great Gretzky gamble is start ing to pay off for the NHL — a first- round series between Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings and his former team, the Edmonton Oilers. After playing 80 games to elimi nate five of the league’s 21 teams, the NHL playoffs begin Wednesday night with eight games, including the matchup at the Forum in Ingle wood, Calif., between Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings and his for mer employers, the Edmonton Oil ers. But if that intrigues the league of fice and the public, it means Bttle to Gretzky and his teammates unless it culminates three series down the road with a Stanley Cup. “The only thing I look at is win ning championships,” said Gretzky, who played on four Stanley Cup winners in Edmonton. “I never looked at that as anything other than my job.” While Greuky and his mates take on the Oilers Wednesday and T hursday nights, 14 other teams be gin the rigorous schedule of four games in five nights with which each series opens. The most intriguing of the other matchups features the first playoff appearance of Pittsburgh’s Mario Lemieux, who has supplanted Gretzky as the NHL’s top scorer — he had 85 goals and 199 points this season. In other series, it will be Philadel phia at Washington; Hartford at Montreal; Buffalo at Boston; Chi cago at Detroit; Minnesota at St. Louis and Vancouver at Calgaiy. Gretzky, who scored 54 goals and whose 168 points were second to Le- mieux’s 199, led Edmonton to four • of the last five NHL titles. He re mains wary of the Oilers, who have won just three of their last 12 games. “As I’ve told the players for two weeks now, to me we’re playing the best team in the league,” he says. “Calgary and Montreal have had tre mendous years and they have deser- vingly won, too. But under pressure and these situations, the best team in the league, as far as I’m concerned, is Edmonton.” Michigan victory tops team’s fairytale tourney ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE (AP) — They usually give writing awards for story ideas like this. Let’s have a guy take over a bas ketball team just before the big tour nament. So there’s a co-star, we’ll have a player have a tournament un like any before. Make sure there’s a couple of nail- biters in the Final Four for him and then let this interim coach win the ti tle in overtime. Oh yeah, we won’t let this guy know if he’s got the head job until the football coach-athletic director makes up his mind after conducting interviews. Nobody makes them up like that. Nobody. And now, here’s interim head coach Steve Fisher and his Michigan Wolverines, NCAA champions with an 80-79 overtime victory over Seton Hall Monday night, putting together a story line even Hollywood would smirk at. Moments after Rumeal Robinson had made two free throws with three seconds left in overtime for the vic tory, Fisher was hugging and jump ing and thanking everyone from Seattle to Ann Arbor. Just 19 days after Bo Schem- bechler appointed him to take over the team of Bill Frieder, who signed his walking papers when he agreed to coach Arizona State. Fisher’s appointment coincided with the start of Glen Rice’s six-game shooting spectacular, which ended with the 6-foot-7 forward as the top scorer in one tournament. Rice had 31 points against a quin tet of Seton Hall defenders who each got to witness up close and personal the smooth jump shot that rarely missed. “I had my hands full with Rice,” said Seton Hall’s Andrew Gaze, the man primarily assigned to fight through the constant screens set by the Wolverines. “He’s just an incred ible individual, with such a quick re lease. It didn’t seem as though he was missing. I was there most of the time, but it wasn’t good enough.” Rice finished the tournament with 184 points, seven more than Prince ton’s Bill Bradley scored in 1965 in five games. Rice made a record 75 field goals — set in one more game than the 68 of Houston’s Elvin Hayes in 1968 — in 131 attempts, 57.2 percent. He also made a record 27 3-pointers — again, in one more game than Freddie Banks of Ne- vada-Las Vegas in 1987 — in 49 at tempts, 55 percent. Rice had 28 points in the Wolver ines’ last-second semifinal victory over Illinois and his two-game effort earned him the Most Outstanding. Player award. The first title in school history may not have earned Fisher the head position. Forward Loy Vaught gave his opinion. “He’s a great man,” Vaught said of the seven-year Michigan assistant. “Six and oh speaks for itself. I can’t see him not getting the job.” Schembechler was noncommital after the game, saying “I think we ought to interview Steve Fisher. We’ll certainly do that.” Seton Hall had nearly earned its first title in its first Final Four ap pearance and second NCAA tourna ment. John Morton brought the Pirates back from a 12-point second-half deficit by scoring 20 of Seton Hall’s final 26 points in regulation. He fin ished with 35 points on 1 l-for-26 shooting and it was his 3-pointer which tied the game 71-71 with 25 seconds left in regulation. His fourth 3-pointer with 2:41 left were Seton Hall’s final points and it gave the Pirates a 79-76 lead. Mor ton made four of 12 3-pointers and the Pirates established a new championship game low in 3-point percentage with 30.4, seven for 23. MED SCHOOL All you wanted to know and more!
