All-America team announced
ST. LOUIIS — Georgetown's Patrick Ewing, St. John's Chris Mullen and Oklahoma's Wayman Tisdale were repeat selections on the All-America team announced yesterday by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.
Ewing and Tisdale were named to the first team for the third consecutive year. Mullen was a second-team choice last year.
Also named to the first team were Keith Lee of Memphis State and Xavier McDaniel of Wichita State. Lee was a second-team member in 1983 and 1984. McDaniel is making his first appearance on the team.
The second team consists of Jon Koncak of SMU, Roy Tarpley of Michigan, Len Bias of Maryland, Dwayne Washington of Syracuse and Kenny Walker of Kentucky.
The teams were selected by more than 1,100 members of the basketball writers association.
Hall of Fame to increase by 2
TAMPA, Fla. — Enos Slaughter, "the Pete Rose of the 1940s," and Arky Vaughan, a batting stylist of the 1930s, are among the most likely new additions to baseball's Hall of Fame Wednesday by the shrine's Committee on Veterans.
The 18 members of the committee are scheduled to make the announcement of two new Hall of Farmers at about noon EST. They are empowered to make two additional Halls, and either a second player, an executive empire or a star of the old Nerra Leagues.
Ed Stack, president of the shrine, says the voting by the committee has become unpredictable. It surprised the baseball world the last two years with the elections of A.B. "Happy" Chandler and Travis Jackson in 1983 and Pee Wee Reese and Jerry West in 1984 but Shlager and Vaughan are believed to be the strongest candidates on a "working list" of 15 sure to receive careful consideration from the committee.
Lake Tahoe wants '92 Games
RENO, Nev. — The Reno-Lake Tahoe area will submit a formal bid to the U.S. Olympic Committee to receive the 1992 Winter Olympic Games.
Reno Mayor Pete Sferraza and members of an organizing committee said Monday that they would try to raise the $2.2 million needed to draft the proposal. More than three days in Calgary, Alberta to learn how that Canadian city won the 1988 games.
Reno-Tahoe is competing with Salt Lake City and Anchorage, Alaska, for the games.
Eagles sale said to be close
PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia Eagles owner Leonard Tose, working against a clock set by his fellow National Football League owners, is close to an agreement to sell his financially troubled franchise to the New York Normal Braman, sources said yesterday.
Tose and his daughter, Susan Fletcher, who is the Eagles' vice president, and their attorneys reportedly were in Miami at the clock with Braman and his attorneys.
Braman, 52, is a Philadelphia native who runs a string of automobile deal-
Sources said that a deal definitely would be reached by Friday and that Braman would keep the football team in Philadelphia.
Eagles spokesman Ed Wianeski said he could not confirm or deny that negotiations between Tose and Braman were taking place.
How much of the club Braman wants is not known. Last week an investment group led by the owner of the Philadelphia Flyers, Ed Snider, dropped out of negotiations for the football team because Tose wanted to maintain some control. The group reportedly was negotiating to buy 80 percent of the club for $57 million.

'Hawks on way to KC following 74-69 win
By MIKE BRENNAN and LAURETTA SCHULTZ Sports Writers
There are times when a technical foul can actually benefit the team it's called against. Such was the case last night.
With 10:09 left in last night's Big Eight tournament first-round game against Nebraska, Kansas center Greg Dreilling was tagged with a technical after displaying his opinion to Woody Mayfield who called him for a foul on Dave Hoppen.
Kansas trailed 57-52 after guard Brian Carr made the free throw. But the call incensed an already crowd crowd and fueled the Jawhavas on to a 74-69 victory.
Kansas closed the gap after the technical foul and the score was tied at 61-61 with 6:23 left in the game. The Jayhawks never trailed again.
Kansas will face the winner of tonight's game between Iowa State and Colorado at 9:30 Friday at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
"KANSAS CITY, KANSAS City, here we come," the band placed and the fans sang.
But nobody was packing any bags for a trip to Kempar Room until almost the final breeze.
At halftime, things were almost dead even. Each team had 35 points. Kansas shot 60.8 percent from the field and Nebraska 62.9. Nebraska, which finished the season with a 15-13 record, had 11 rebounds and Kansas bad 10.
Last night's win raised Kansas' record to 25-6.
Head coach Larry Brown said after the game that the Cornhuskers were not the team he had played for.
"I didn't want to tell everyone," he said.
"But I didn't want to play Nebraska. I felt they had some confidence coming in because they played us well before."
Brown had been concerned about crowd support since Thursday night's game with the New England Patriots.
It may not have been a sellout, but the 11,800 made themselves heard. When razzing the referees or trying to rattle the Cornell players, voices that were not there were not missed.
"THE CROWD WAS great," Brown said. "Maybe they'll realize, with me coaching, a first-round game is never a lock."
With 3:14 left in the game, Curtis Moore, Nebraska forward, cut the KU lead to 66-65 with two free throws. Moore, who scored 18 in the first half, scored 29 in the 1:55 left in the game. Kansas still led 70-68.
Moore shot an air-ball with 26 seconds left in the game that would have cut KU's lead to 72-71. Twelve seconds later, he missed again. Moore missed another time, but was be fooled by Cedric Hunter. Moore missed the two free throws, and Nebraska called time out.
But Moore would not score again, despite having four more chances down the stretch.
THEN KU WAS forced to call time out at with five seconds remaining in the game when Hunter could not get the ball inbounds. On the second try, he threw the ball to Danny who passed to a wide-open Ron Kellogg who dunked the ball to finish the game
"We had Kansas on the ropes all night long," said NU head coach Moe Iba. "But, toward the end of the game, we made a lot of

Kansas was led by Kellogg who had 20 points, followed by Manning with 15.
"if he doesn't touch the ball," Manning said, "he can't score."
Hoppen led Nebraska with 19, despite being double-taemed most of the night. Dreling would usually play behind Hoppen and his teammates, but they kept the ball out of the All-America's hands.

Kansas had faced Nebraska without the benefit of a healthy line-up.
Dreiling and Calvin Thompson were both suffering from the flu but played 36 and 37 minutes respectively. Mark Turgeon, 5 feet 10 inch guard and Mark Pelock, 6 feet 8 inch guard, even in Allen Field House because of the flu. That's something Brown is not used to face.
"I've had illness," he said. "But I've never had anyone not be there."
Illness or not, KU stayed on track in the shooting game, hitting 55.6 percent from the field, a figure Nebraska matched exactly.

Big scoring continues for women against NU
By TONY COX
Sports Writer
The women's basketball team, in particular Vickie Adkins, has enjoyed big scoring nights this season in games against Nebraska.
The Jayhawks pulled away to the 100-84 victory last night at Allen Field House to advance to the second round of the Big Eight Post Season Tournament.
Adkins, junior forward, continued her scoring ways with 30 points - her average in three games against the Cornhuskers this season.
When KU faced Nebraska last Wednesday, the Jordans scored 40 points to lead the Jayhawks at a 9-8 record.
Both of KU's 100-point games this season have come against Nebraska.
HOWEVER, LAST NIGHT'S game did have its tense moments. In a three minute span in the second half, Nebraska outscored the Jawhays 12-2 to tie the game 72-72.
KU answered the Cornhuskers' challenge with a 9-0 surge, including six points by senior center Philicia Allen. Allen finished the game with 26 points, but played only 26
She was whistled for her fifth foul with four minutes remaining.
"It was very physical under there tonight." Allen said after the game. "I don't think the referees were calling it both ways. I will win or lose, but the last two I thought were pretty cheap.
"Sometimes they see it and sometimes they don't. Sometimes they're trying to make up for a bad call at the other end. I can't tell them, but though they're doing the best they can."
Nebraska was called for 36 fouls with five
payers fouling out. KU was whistled for 20 fouls.
KU HEAD COACH Marian Washington said, "It didn't worry me that Philicia fouled out. What did worry me is the kind of fouls they were calling.
"I think there was a lot of contact inside. I just think that the fouling that was going on underneath can't go on. In this Big Eight, kafka's a fine team. We just don't need that."
Though KU won easily the last time the teams met, the team didn't expect an easy step into the semi-finals of the post-season tournament.
Allen and Adkins were also impressed with Nebraska's intensity.
"NEBRASKA WAS THE most physical team we've played because they were hungry." Allen said.
Adkins said, "I'm tired. Nebraska was really after it tonight. I think it was our most pleasant day."
Nebraska tried to come back late in the game by sending KU to the free throw line, but the Jayhawks responded, particularly senior guard Mary Myers.
Myers scored 12 points in the final 3:29, including six of six free throw attempts. She finished the game with 16 points and 11 assists.
Freshman forward Lisa Dougherty
chipped in nine points and seven rebounds for
the Tigers.
With her 30 points and 17 rebounds, Adkins led all players in rebounding as well as
Okahla beat Iowa State 78-63 last night and will face KU in the second round of the tournament Friday at 1 p.m. at Kemper Arena. Kansas State beat Oklahoma State 86-62 last night at Stillwater. They will face the winner of Missouri-Colorado game.
UPI declares Manning top newcomer in Big 8
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma was named United Press International's 1983 Big Eight Player of the Year yesterday. Among his accomplishments in the 1884-25 season, he became the league's all-time leading scoring and led the Sooners to their second consecutive conference championship.
In addition, UPI named Billy Tubbs of Oklahoma as the Big Eight Coach of the Year and freshman forward Danny Manning of Oklahoma as the conference Newcomer of the Year.
Tisdale was the unanimous selection as player of the year by a 24-member UPI voting panel, which included three media representatives from each conference city. Manning was a runaway winner in the state division, and he was named on 13 ballots to outdistribute Larry Brown of Kansas and Norm Stewart of Missouri, who received five votes each.
The 6-10 Manning averaged 15.1 points and 7.6 rebounds a game and also ranked third in the Big Eight in steals with S2 and sixth in blocked shots with S2. He scored 35 points in one half against Kentucky and dished out 11 rebounds against Kentucky and dished out eight assists against Wichita State.
