Erickson scolds
team for showboating
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) —
Coach Dennis Erickson, who last
week told his Miami Hurricanes to
temper their talk,
i’J
IN/1LA1VI1
has now cracked
down on show
boating.
At least two
Hurricanes
“crossed the line”
of good taste with
dancing, pranc
ing and posing
after big plays in last Saturday’s na
tionally televised 52-24 victory at
California, Erickson said Tuesday.
“I wasn’t very proud of it, and I
know our team wasn’t very proud of
it,” the coach said during his weekly
news conference. “There’s a point
where it’s embarrassing to the pro
gram.”
Erickson said players guilty of ex
cessive celebrating in the future will
be benched for the rest of the game
and possibly longer. It was the
coach’s second edict concerning be
havior in as many weeks. Following
an opening-game loss at Brigham
Young, he ordered the Hurricanes
to stop making degrading comments
about opponents.
“We are going to play hard, and
we are going to be excited about
playing the game, and we are going
to jump up and down,” he said. “But
there’s that line that we’re not going
to cross at the University of Miami.

He who laughs last
Tech comerback succeeds
in spite of vision handicap
LUBBOCK (AP) — Texas
Tech cornerback Sammy Walker
laughs at the odds as he looks at
his All American Bowl watch,
given late last year to each player
after the Red Raiders trounced
Duke, 49-21, to cap a 9-3 season.
Walker finds humor in his
football success because he was
never supposed to be a part of it.
While working at a summer job
after his sophomore year in high
school, Walker was trying to re
move some boards from a build
ing when a shard of wood splin
tered into his right eye.
The accident left him legally
blind in the eye with 20-200 vi
sion, or what Walker calls, “a view
similar to opening your eyes in
water with too much chlorine.”
and James Gray, who nobody
thought would make it with his
awkward running style. When
they recruited me they probably
figured, ‘Hey why not a blind
guy. We got everything else.’”
Thurman, a kick returner, and
Gray, a running back, became
All-Americans at Tech and coach
Spike Dykes believes Walker, a 5-
11, 190-pound junior, will have
similar success.
“He is one of the best defensive
backs in the country,” Dykes said.
“And he is a giving player. What
ever is best for the team is best for
Sammy.”
Dykes said he was turned on to
Walker while recruiting two of
Walker's teammates at McKin
ney.
Despite doctors’ approval to
play and the fact he was one of
the fastest running backs in the
state out of McKinney High
School near Dallas, no big-time
colleges wanted to take a chance
on him — except for Texas Tech.
“Mostly little schools wanted
me,” Walker said. “Because I was
blind in one eye, none of the big
ger schools wanted to risk it. And
“They had recruited people
like tiny (5-3) Tyrone Thurman
‘When I saw that kid play, I
knew he was something special,”
he said. “I think most people have
some kind of a handicap and for
some strange reason they make
up for it in other areas. Sammy
just gives you everything he’s
got.”
Walker, whose twin sister
Tammy is a starter on Tech's
women’s basketball team, is one
of the fastest college players in
the country. He finished with the
ninth best time in the 100-meter
sprint (10.31) in last year’s NCAA
Track and Field Championships.

If they do, they’re just not going to
play.”
Celebrating by several Hurricanes
drew boos from the California fans
and a shower of postgame criticism
in Bay Area newspapers and on Mi
ami radio talk shows.
The primary targets were receiver
Randal Hill and linebackers Micheal
Barrow and Jessie Armstead. Hill
raised both arms after each of his
first six catches. Barrow and
Armstead shook their hips in a sack
dance.
“Some things were accepted three
years ago that aren’t accepted now
by the public,” Erickson said.
Even before the crackdown was
announced, the negative response
from fans and the media had con
vinced the ninth-ranked Hurricanes
to tone down their act, Barrow said.
“People my age pretty much un
derstand the dances,” Barrow said,
“because some of the things we did,
you’ll see a lot of people doing in
nightclubs.
“Mostly the people that disagreed
with it were older alumni. I can un
derstand that, because they helped
build this school. They don’t want it
to end up like a nightclub on the
football field.”
Miami’s next game is Sept. 29 at
home against Iowa. What will cele
brations of big plays look like then?
“A square dance,” offensive tackle
Mike Sullivan said.
