UNDATED (AP)-While other players were end
ing their NFL careers on Tuesday, Antonio Lang-
ham’s was getting a new start ... literally.
Despite reporting to camp nearly three weeks
late because of a contract dispute, the Browns’ No.
1 draft pick was named Cleveland’s starting left
cornerback over Donald Frank, acquired in a trade
with San Diego.
Tuesday was the NFL’s biggest cutdown day
as teams that had been carrying 80 players were
required to get down to 60. Most of those to go
were marginal rookies and free agents, although
among those cut was Nick Bell, the 43rd player
taken in the 1991 draft, who was trying to
switch from running back to tight end for the
Raiders.
Langham was a high draft pick, ninth overall in
this year’s draft. He said winning the starting job
doesn’t ensure a thing.
“If people think I’m going to come in and be su
perhuman, then I’m sorry,” he said. “I’m just a hu
man being like everyone else. Just because I was
drafted that high doesn’t mean I’ll be perfect all of
these games. I’m going to make mistakes, but I’ll
work hard to correct them.”
The Browns released eight players, the best
known being offensive lineman Mike Withycombe,
a six-year veteran who played with several teams.
Raiders
Bell was one of 11 players cut by Los Angeles,
including tackle Ken Lanier and safety R.J. Kors,
a pair of veterans, and tackle Roosevelt Patterson,
their fifth-round draft pick.
Bell had his best day as a Raider in an AFC
wild-card playoff game after his rookie season,
when he rushed for 107 yards on 20 carries in a
10-6 loss at Kansas City. In 1992, he rushed for 97
yards on 10 carries against Seattle, including a 66-
yard touchdown run.
Arizona, which released quarterback Will Fur-
rer on Monday, signed Shawn Moore, released last
week by Denver. The Cardinals also released four
players.
Among those waived was linebacker Brett
Wallerstedt, a sixth-round draft pick from Arizona
State in 1993.
Moore, a llth-round draft pick in 1991, was re
leased by the Broncos on Thursday. He has ap
peared in only three NFL games, all in 1992, and
completed 17 of 34 passes for 232 yards.
Patriots
New England released Ervin Collier, a third-
round draft pick, and free agent linebacker Mike
Kerr.
Collier, a 6-3, 287-pound nose tackle from Flori
da A&M, was the 78th player chosen in this year’s
NFL draft.
“The draft is not an exact science,” coach Bill
Parcells said of Collier, the highest of his picks to
be released.
Eagles
Philadelphia waived 15 players, including draft
picks Ryan McCoy and Mark Montgomery and
Preston Jones, last year’s third-string quarter
back.
The release of Jones means that Jay Fiedler, a
free-agent rookie from Dartmouth, will become the
Eagles’ third-string quarterback.
Cowboys
Dallas released nine players, including tight
end John Davis, a fifth-round supplemental draft
choice from Emporia (Kan.) State, and two former
World League players, running back Judd Garrett
and offensive lineman Caesar Rentie.
Bengals
Cincinnati got to the roster limit by placing of
fensive tackle Joe Walter on injured reserve and
waiving three players, including defensive end Ra-
mondo Stallings, its seventh-round draft choice.

Gearing up for the big season
Texas A&M’s Chris Sanders participates in a
little game that the receivers play before prac
tice everyday. Coach Koenning shoots the foot
ball at the receivers using the passing machine.
Each time they catch the ball, they take a step
forward. They continue until a ball is dropped.
Each time through, the speed of the machine is
increased, and it can reach 50 mph.
Little League teams vie for World Championship Texas Sports Hall of Fame to honor new members
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP)
— Middleboro knew to look for
the curve balls. It just didn’t
know what to do once North-
ridge pitcher Peter Tuber threw
them.
The Californian, throwing
pitches the Massachusetts team
has seldom seen, struck out 13
Tuesday as Northridge won 6-4
in the second round of the Little
League World Series.
“We play a 22-game schedule
without curve balls. They do not
allow curve balls in our league,”
Middleboro manager Steve
McKenna said. “They feel that
throwing them too early tends to
destroy a kid’s arm.”
Without the ability to hit
them, Middleboro now has the
worst record in the U.S. bracket
and needs a victory Wednesday
against Brooklyn Center, Minn.,
to stay alive. Northridge will
play Springfield, Va., on
Wednesday.
Venezuela wrapped up a spot
in Thursday’s semifinal with a
4-1 victory over Taiwan and
Saudi Arabia eliminated Glace
Bay, Nova Scotia, 6-3.
Springfield and Brooklyn
Center played later Tuesday.
The top two teams in both the
U.S. and international brackets
play again Thursday to deter
mine who goes to Saturday’s
championship game.
WACO, Texas (AP) — Cliff Gustafson, Uni
versity of Texas baseball coach and winningest
coach in NCAA history, will be inducted into

who is the leading rusher in Texas football history.
—Ken Houston, a 14-year veteran of the NFL
who played at Lufkin High School and Prairie
View A&M.
—Mai Kutner, who played at Dallas
Woodrow Wilson High School and the Universi
ty of Texas and was the 1946 NFL rookie of the
year.
—Shelby Metcalf, a small college All-Ameri
can at East Texas State and longtime basket
ball coach at Texas A&M where he produced
numerous Southwest Conference champions

the 100 meters and winner of two gold medals
at the 1968 Olympic games.
