Spurs' Brown gives Marshall opportunity to play pro ball
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When former Kansas forward Archie Marsh severely injured a knee for the second time in two years, it was widely known that his basketball career was over.
Former Kansas forward Archie Marshall was the last player selected in the National Basketball Association's 1988 college draft,
Don't count him out yet, though. In the National Hockey Association (NHA) playoffs, Snohomish now under former Kansas coach Larry Brown, used the 75th win of his career.
Marshall has told friends he might like to try professional basketball And Brown, who left the Jayhawks in June, gave him the chance.
"If Coach Brown gives me the chance, 'I like to try.' Marshall said. 'I don't know if I could be ready to teach myself or be ready to the ready level."
Even after the Jayhawks beat Oklahoma to win the national champions, Brown had talked of the disappointment he felt for Marshall, a quick, ball-hunting forward who was playing from an injury to the other knee.
Everybody had known for weeks that Danny Manning, Kansas 'twice all-america and the big Eight's all-time lead scoring, would be the Los Angeles Clippers' choice as the No. 1 selection. Then pick fifth, then Golden State Warriors chose Kansas State guard Michael Richmond.
A short time later, the Washington Bullets took Oklahoma forward Harvey Grant with the 12th pick.
With the 13th choice, Milwaukee chose Iowa's Jeff Graver. And completing the Big Eight's sweep through the first round was Missouri's Derrick Chevrolet, the choice of Rockets with the 16th selection.
As it turned out, the Big Eight's five first-rounders were also The Associated Press all-Big Eight first team.
"It was a fitting conclusion to a great season for the Big Eight," said Tim Allen, director of the Big Eight
Service Bureau. "The five players drafted in the first round made tremendous contributions to the Big Eight, and there no question they'll be remembered for all their contributions to their institutions and to the league."
Chievous left Missouri as the No. 2 score in Big Eight history with 2,580 points, with Grayer No.4 on the all-time list with 2,502. It was the first
time in college basketball history that three players with so many career points had played at the same time in the same conference.
Richmond, a junior-college transfer, played only two years for the Wildcats, but led K-State to two straight NCAA appearances and this season he also won his first Midwest Regional. His two year total lost of 1,327 was a K-State record.
For every team with a Montana, there'll be a team hoping to find a new one in next draft or trade
The Associated Press
One of those present, a team personnel man, lowered his voice and whispered:
The talk was about the trade that sent Wille Gault from the Chicago Bears to the Los Angeles Raiders, who, but will throw him the ball?
"Don't say I said it, but that's a setup. They'll use Gault to try to get Joe Montana from the 49ers."
Add another rumor to the many that have been swirling around the NFL about quarterbacks.
Rarely has there been so much disparity between the quarterback rich and the quarterback-poor as there is this season.
to put the problem in context,
there just aren't any quarterbacks
out there.
For every team like San Francisco, which has two capable quarters backs, there is at least one like the Raiders, who barring some blockbuster deal against the Clippers, Beurden, who has never thrown a pass during the regular season.
In the five drafts of 1983, when John Elway, Todd Blackledge, Tony Eason, Jim Kelly, O'Brien and Dan Marino (in that order) were chosen in the first round, only seven other quarterbacks were first-round choices. include Cleveland's Berry Kosar, a supplemental choice in
And of those six, only Koirn, Vanny Testaverde, chosen by Tampa Bay with its three players. Exactly taken by Houghton in 1966 were considered close to sure things Everett, whom the Oliers were, rushed to subsequently to the Rams.
In 1984, and again this year, none was chosen in the first round. This year, Chris Chandler of Washington. He was the longest lasted until the 70th pick of the third round. That was the longest a draft had ever gone without a quarterback being chosen. Next year, only Troy Alkman of UCLA was a sure first round.
While Boomer Esiason of Cincinnati was a steal in the second round

'A lot of it has to do with the top college teams, like Oklahoma and Nebraska, running wishbone offenses or offenses that concentrate on the run. Look at the top college quarterbacks now and what you see are runners.'

in 1984 - his flamboyant personality and the possibility he would sign with the USFL caused him to drop.
Moreover, for whatever reasons, some schools that pass a lot have turned out pro quarterbacks no better than Mabon McMahon and the still unproven Steve Young, quartets back from Brigham Young's high-profile Hale Brodie, McMahon, Mr. Wilson, Robbie Boscue, have been mediocre or worse as pros.
"A lot of it has to do with the top college teams, like Oklahoma and Nebraska, running wishbone passes on the run," said agent Leigh Steinberg, whose reputation was built largely on his representation of high-preceded quarterbacks. "Look at the guys who are runners, and what you see are runners."
Some of the first-rounders have been what are known as "reachers," players taken too high by teams that had them; Jim Harbaugh by the Bearins in 1987 and Kelly Stouffer, chosen by the Cardinals with the sixth pick of the first round, to win a quarterbacks is such that the Cardinals were able to get two first-round picks from Seattle for Stouffer when the Cardinals were unable to sign them.

Why the dearth?
That has led to an imbalance.
Los Angeles will start with Beuers,

the reserve; Rusty Hustler, a failure as
starter last year, and Vince Evans.
San Diego's choice is between Babe Launberg, who has been cut seven times in six years and Mark Maleone, who was obtained in a trade with high pitch after posting the league's lowest quarterback rating a year ago.
starters, there are more teams like the Raiders and Chargers.
Others are 'm much better off. Kansas City has to choose between two veteran backups, Indianapolis has the oft-injured and unproven G hogehoeb and Jack Trudeau, who's little more than a backup. New Jersey Eason injured, has to hope that 35-year old Steve Greer stays healthy.
Pittsburgh must chose between a disappointing Blackledge and unproven Bubbie Brister. Seattle has a bad backup Jeff Kemp and the very green Siouffer; Atlanta has to hope that Miller comes through; New Orleans is going for Bobby Hester to emerge as a star.' It on goes and
Others aren't much better off.
and there's little help out there unless teams are willing to pay exorbitant prices for a Schreeder or a Montana, both of whom have health problems or, in Schreeder's case, an attitude problem.
Moreover, while San Francisco owner Eddie D'Berlioz Jr. may want to dump Montana, Coach Bill Walters doesn't, particularly with Young unproven over a full season and a other Super Bowl on the horizon.

"Montana is probably the best technician in football," Walsh said. "He has excellent skills, excellent fundamentals and his decision-making is beyond reproach. Steve Young is the charismatic, exciting, exploiting coach of the Bears with the ball as well as passes. We're very lucky to have both of them."

LUXMAN
Ultimate Power.
With a worldwide reputation for sonic excellence, the new Luxman Receivers also deliver more power than ever before.
Luxman has perfected sonic reproduction with amplifiers that capture the best of both worlds: the warm musicality associated with vacuum tube amplifiers, plus the high power needed for today's digital source material. In other words, "quality plus quantity."
For over 60 years, Luxman components have earned the highest accolades for their musical warmth and transparency. In the past, however, Luxman's amplifiers were designed to deliver optimum results with analog source material and conventional loudspeaker designs. Now, the increased popularity of the compact disc format has created a new demand for higher power output.
The digital era.
Compact discs have a dynamic range that far exceeds that of phonograph records and cassette tapes. This requires amplifiers with greater reserve power to smoothly handle the dramatic changes in dynamic impact.
In addition, the clarity and wider dynamics of CDs have encouraged speaker manufacturers to introduce new designs with improved sonic performance. However, several of these new speaker designs expose amplifiers to extremely low impedance loads that demand higher current output.
Plus, the CD's remarkable sonic realism has also ignited a whole new interest in listening to music that, in many households, has resulted in multiple speaker arrangements and multiple-room speaker installations. These combined loads pose additional threats to the stability and clarity of an amplifier with insufficient reserve power.
The new Luxman amplifiers
To ensure the sonic integrity of CDs into a variety of speaker loads, an amplifier must be able to deliver high dynamic power. In answer to this, Luxman has incorporated massive power supplies with high energy reserves to ensure distortion-free transients.
Ultimate fidelity.
High-current, bipolar transistors are then carefully selected in matched pairs to preserve total sonic integrity at high dynamic levels.
This rugged design technique accommodates the high demands of both digital software and low impedance loads. But high power is only half the story... Ultimate fidelity
The heart of Luxman amplifiers is still the warm, musical feeling that has resulted from decades of research on how vacuum tube amplifiers reproduce music so faithfully.
To achieve this same type of "tube-like" transparency and naturalness, Luxman transistor amplifiers employ voltage driven amplification configurations that perform the main current conversion only at the output.
In addition, sophisticated circuit designs, including Duo-Beta circuitry, STAR circuit patterns and LED bias circuitry, are utilized to obtain that extra degree of musical purity that conventional amplifiers ignore.
Ultimate power.
The best of both worlds. It's the purity and musical warmth of the original source plus the high dynamic power output that combine to ensure total sonic integrity at all volume levels. In today's Luxman amplifiers, we call it "Ultimate Power."
