Smith places emphasis on winning Super Bowl
Third rushing title eludes running back
IRVING, (AP) — He’s 199 yards behind with four games to go.
Emmitt Smith needs a 50-yard difference per game to win his
fourth consecutive NFL rushing title.
“If it’s meant to be, fine,” Smith said. “If not, I’ll take another
Super Bowl ring.”
Smith is chasing the one runner he might not be able to catch,
Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions.
“My job is to try to win games right now, not another rushing
title,” said Smith, who has been bothered this year by pulled
hamstrings and sore shoulders.
He adds that, “I’d be lying if I said I’m not looking at what
(Sanders) does. Sure I look at the man. He’s the only one ahead of
me. But I’m really not worrying about it.
What could hurt Smith’s bid to join Jim Brown as the only
rusher to win four consecutive titles is the Lions playoff chances.
The Dallas Cowboys suspect that if Detroit gets bounced out of
the playoffs, the Lions will feed the ball to Sanders on an above
normal basis.
“Barry may get the ball 50 times a game if they lose another
game or two,” offensive tackle Nate Newton said. “If they’ve got
no playoff goals then they’ll go with their star looking for individ
ual goals.”
Newton said Smith’s primary concern is getting his team in po
sition for another Super Bowl run.
“Barry could go down as the greatest of all time but he’ll have
no Super Bowl rings,” Newton said. “Emmitt may get me into the
Hall of Fame with all the rings he’s helped this franchise win.”
Smith is still going strong, but not as strong as last year. He
has 1,207 yards but is averaging only 4.1 yards per carry. Last
year he rushed for 1,486 yards and averaged 5.3 yards per carry,
his best season average in his five-year career.
“It’s been a tough physical year,” Smith said. “It seems like
something is always hurting.”
Newton said some teams have been out to hurt Smith.
“He’s been taking some shots, some of them a little on the late
side,” Newton said. “I see some of these guys jump up and down like
Butkus after they make a tackle. They’re trying to hurt Emmitt. ”
Smith always likes to see the Philadelphia Eagles on the
schedule. In the last five games, he’s rushed 134 times for 792
yards against Philadelphia for a 5.9 average. His biggest game
against them was for 237 yards last year on Halloween.
“Philly will be pumped up and play hard against us,”
Smith said. “Their fans make it a very difficult place to play.
They’ll be all riled up.”

Williams signs contract NHL season in jeopardy
"Wild Thing" returns to baseball as Angel Hockey schedule cut down to 60 games
5 Nights Hotel, RT Air, Daily
1-800-569-2223. ’
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Re
liever Mitch Williams is getting
a new life in baseball with the
California Angels.
Williams hasn’t pitched since
a disappointing stint with the
Houston Astros ended in his re
lease May 31. He was 1-4 with
six saves and a 7.65 ERA in 25
appearances last season.
The Angels said Wednesday
that Williams agreed to a non-
guaranteed contract. It calls for a
base salary of $500,000, with $2
million in performance bonuses.
Under his previous 3-year deal,
he made $2.5 million in 1994.
“My time with the Astros was
very demoralizing and took all
of the fun out of the game for
me,” Williams said from his
home in Hico, Texas. “I had time
at home to clear my head and
decided I wanted to pitch. The
Angels were the most persistent
team after I got home.
“I wasn’t going to go back and
pitch the rest of the year. I knew
I had to clear my head. I knew I
wasn’t mentally right in Hous
ton. Basically, I was just lied to.
I’ll do whatever job they brought
me in to do, but don’t tell me my
job is one thing and use me in
another thing.”
Williams said the Angels
have made no promises to him.
“Of course. I’d like to close,” he
said. “Whatever decision they
make, I feel Lach (Angels manag
er Marcel Lachemann) will be
honest with me. If he tells me I’m
a setup guy, I’m a setup guy.”
Williams, 30, is best known
for allowing a three-run, game
winning home run by Toronto’s
Joe Carter’s in the sixth and fi
nal game of the 1993 World Se
ries while pitching for the
Philadelphia Phillies.
It was his last pitch for the
Phillies, the team he helped win
the NL East championship and
league playoffs in 1993 with 43
saves. He was traded to the As
tros in the offseason.
Williams has a career big-
league record of 44-55 in 592
appearances, three of them
starts, with 192 saves and a
"I had time at home to
clear my head and de
cided I wanted to
pitch.
Angels reliever,
Mitch Williams
3.51 ERA. He started his ca
reer with the Texas Rangers in
1986 and pitched three years
for them before joining the
Chicago Cubs in 1989.
“I’m real excited,” Williams
said. “It’s a new start. I’m fine,
I’m healthy as heck, healthy as
I’ve been. I had knee surgery
last spring. Everything now I
think is healed up.”
The Angels are without a
proven stopper in their bullpen,
but reportedly are pursuing ca
reer saves leader Lee Smith,
who had a major league-lead
ing 33 saves in the strike-
shortened 1994 season.
(AP)- NHL negotiators meet
in Chicago starting Thursday in
what could be a last attempt at
salvaging the hockey season.
“It’s getting to the point
where they are going to have to
make a decision (on the collec
tive bargaining agreement),” a
management source told The As
sociated Press on Wednesday.
“Time is of the urgency,” said
Troy Loney, player representa
tive of the New York Islanders.
NHL commissioner Gary
Bettman, reached at his New
York office, remained noncommit
tal on the eve of the latest talks.
“We’re trying to move this
process along, we’re trying to
make a deal,” he said. “That has
been our No. 1 priority right
along since Day 1.”
The source said the NHL and
NHL Players Association have
booked hotel space for three
days in hopes of resolving the
dispute that has sidelined the
league for 61 days.
Players are expected to pre
sent the owners with their
thoughts on such major issues
as the rookie salary cap, free
agency and salary arbritration.
The contentious luxury tax is
sue is another story, however.
“If the tax is on the table,
there’s trouble,” Loney said.
Until now, the owners have in
sisted on a tax of team payrolls
that go over the average team
salary in the NHL and give the
money to teams under the pre
scribed limit. The players have
been against such a tax, believing
it has the same effect as a salary
cap. Players reportedly would ac
cept a diminished version of the
payroll tax if owners share the
burden by taxing gate receipts-
So far, the owners’ lockout
has resulted in 341 games called
off in the longest work stoppage
in NHL history. The schedule is
already down to 60 games, fol
lowing the cancellation of 24 for
each team. Owners have said
they will accept no less than a
50-game schedule.
One source told the AP that
the players are not happy with
what they’ve already conceded.
“Players feel they’ve given
away the farm,” he said.
