Solari said he looks forward to the challenge of covering those "scatbacks" coming out of the of fensive backfield. "Don't get me wrong, nothing beats, or is like, rushing the quar terback," he said. "But the things that the coaches are looking at me to do like covering running backs will be an experience. "It will not be easy chasing someone faster, but good players rise to the occasion and thrive on it. I hope I can." While preparing for his expand ed part, Solari has kept a name tucked in the corner or his mind. The person who he hopes to emu late has experienced success in the NFL to the tune of two Super Bowl rings by doing the things Solari hopes to do next season. "I want to be like Wilbur Mar shall of the Washington Red skins," Solari said. "He does a great job of rushing when he has to and covering a running back when he is called upon to do that. His drops and rushing ability are excellent. "To do that, I need to stay healthy. No more injuries, be cause they are nothing but frus tration."

It was even a moral victory, at that. Gene Hackman gave a virtu oso performance that offered sympathy for the devils in the college basketball coaching ranks, displaying some silver lin ings for even Indiana coach Bob by Knight's stormy explosions. No matter what should hap pen in reality and no matter what your tastes, in the movies you'll get a perfect microcosm of sports packed with humanity and immediately evident deep meanings - a slice of the athletic drama with all the trimmings. Shakespeare said all the world's a stage, so why not settle for the best actors for your sport entertainment? Of course, there are different types of sports movies for all moods. There are the bright, pastoral homages to the purity of sport that are gracefully rendered in movies such as "Hoosiers," "The Natural," "Rocky," and "Field of Dreams." Of this group. I've got to go with "Hoosiers" as tops, nipping Sylvester Stallone's single solid acting performance as an under achieving, aging boxer presented with an out-of-the-blue title shot offered by the heavyweight champion of the world. There are the great, cynical movies that take stabs and poke their dry wit at sport and the human animals that perform for us. "Bull Durham,' "The Bad News Bears," and "North Dallas Forty" are plainly superior from this collection. "Bull Durham" is the best by far - a story that hits right at the heart of every true baseball play er and fan. -And they've got a sequel in the works that'll be EVEN better!! Yeahright. Give up while you're ahead, Costner. And then, like the voice from the NFL films, there are the real ly, really important sports movies: The Dramas. First the uplifting, sometimes tinged with sadness, ones, "Pride of the Yankees," "A League of Their Own," "Brian's Song," "Breaking Away" and "Bang the Drum Slowly." Who can say which of these are the best? Well, I can, and I say it's "Brian's Song," the greatest made-for-television movie ever, with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams starring as racially- challenged friends and Chicago Bear football teammates in the '60s. But now - the dark and seamy side of the athletic spirit: "Rag ing Bull," "Eight Men Out," and "The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh" (ignore this last reference at all costs - just seeing if you're awake). I give the nod to "Raging Bull," which showcased DeNiro in an oscar-winning role as fight er Jake LaMotta — a tough, bru tal performance. I'd recommend catching the flick just to see DeNiro work out and fight at a >alTc trim 150 pounds; then ballooning to 212 as he portrays aged LaMotta.
