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.

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.
