Sanders quiet on next season Father favors quitting OSU,taking pro draft
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones won't talk about a team without Barry Sanders, but if the Heisman Trophy winner follows his father's advice, that's what the Cowboys will be next season.
Barry Sanders' father said Sunday night that he thought his son should forego his senior year at Oklahoma State, which is under NCAA sanction, and try his luck in the National Football League.
the National Poets Club.
"If he won the Heisman Trophy again this year, he couldn't get any more money or market himself any more than they are already."
William Sanders said.
Sanders had said in early January, when a four-year probation Oklahoma State's football program was announced, that he would return for his senior year with the Cowboys.
On Sunday, Sanders said he had made a decision about whether to stay, but he wouldn't say what it was.
was. "I'm not discussing that right now," Sanders said Sunday night.
The Oklahoma State coach, meanwhile, declined comment yesterday on Sanders' future. Either would he discuss what the impact would be on his football program if Sanders left early.
In New York, NFL officials said that Sanders had until April 10 to apply for the special draft.
applicant. If there are players who feel they have special circumstances that would warrant special eligibility to our April 23-24 draft, they have to file, put their intentions for applying for special eligibility in writing by April 10," said Jeye Browne, an NFL spokesman.
When asked if being at a school on NCAA probation might be an
acceptable special circumstance,
Browne said, "That would be up to
commissioner (Pete) Rozelle and
the personnel department.
in writing by *Ariel Sanders*. He admired that he hadn't asked for his advice, but if he did, "I would tell him not to come back to school."
"I was always one to say it's important to go to school and get your education," William Sanders said. "But you go to school to get an education to get money, and I think Barry's the kind of person who would go back and get his degree."
Theider Sanders said that all of the publicity surrounding his son had made it difficult for Barry in Stillwater.
take it or not, the Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that Sanders, a junior, had told one NFL team that he definitely would turn professional. Because Sanders has never redshirted, he would not be eligible for the regular NFL draft this spring unless he decides to challenge it in the courts. He could, however, apply for the summer supplemental draft.

Sanders set national records last season by rushing for 2,628 yards and scoring 39 touchdowns.
Asked whether it was unfair to say that he was wavering on his original statement that he would return, Sanders said. "It's unfair to make any opinions or speculation on it."
Oklahoma State running back Barry Sanders, who won last year's Heisman Trophy and rushed for 312 yards and five touchdowns against Kansas on Nov. 12, might turn professional despite having a year of eligibility remaining because of the NCAA sanctions against the Cowboys' football program.
West German skis to surprise victory
BEAVER CREEK, Colo. — Hansjorg Tauscher of West Germany, a non-winner in three seasons on the World Cup circuit, won the gold medal in the weather-delayed men's downhill yesterday at the World Alpine Ski Championships.
The Associated Press
Tauscher, 21, continuing a tradition of unexpected finishes in World Championship competition, was timed in 2 minutes, 10.39 seconds.

Swiss skiiers claimed the next two places as well, with Daniel Mahrer finishing fourth in 2:10.91 and William Bessef fifth in 2:10.94.
Switzerland's Peter Mueller, the defending world champion in the downhill and a favorite in this race, finished 18 hundredths of a second back at the women's final. He and Swiss teammate Karl Albrigger won the bronze in 2:10.67
Two other favorites, Marc Girardelli of Luxembourg and Pirinm Zurbriggen of Switzerland, finished out of the top 10.
out of the top 10.
Taussier's best previous finish in a World Cup race was fifth in a downhill Jan. 6 at Laax, Switzerland.
Tauscher placed sixth in two other downhills and eighth in another in what clearly has been his best season.
But no one expected his gold-medal breakthrough. He had finished no higher than sixth in any of the four training runs.

The race, originally scheduled for Saturday, was postponed when three feet of snow inundated Beaver Creek. Earlier, high winds interrupted training and contributed to a crash by Zurbriggen, leaving him with a bruised upper back and bruised ribs.
Crews managed to clear the course of most of the fresh snow, but yesterday's winning time was about two seconds slower than early training times on a harder, icy surface.

Mahrer, with what was considered
a disadvantageous start (second)
because early racers had to plow through more loose snow, posted a quick time that stood up until Tauscher came down.
Tauscher was a full second behind Mahrer at the second intermediate clocking, but had narrowed the gap to two-hundredths at the fourth intermediate, then made up the difference on the bottom part, which featured numerous bumps and rolls and some tight turns.
Unofficially, Norway's Aile Skara-pleased sixth in sixth at 10.99, followed by three Austrians — Helmut Hoeflehner in 2:11.24, Peter Winnberger in 2:11.52 and Roman Rupp in 2:11.60
Mueller, running 11th, and Zurbriggen, starting 15th, couldn't catch him, although Mueller was slightly faster through the fourth intermediate clocking.
Klaus Gattermann of West Germany was 10th in 2:11.68. Canada's Rob Boyd was 17th in 2:11.89, and 18-year-old Tommy Moe of Palmer, Alaska, took 12th in 2:12.27.
Tauscher used the same brand of skis as Switzerland's Maria Walliser, who won the women's downhill Sunday, and he said that selecting the right ski and wax formula was vital to his victory.
Mueller said he was happy with the silver medal.
Zaribgarden wound up tie for 15th, two seconds off the lead, and Girardelli was 21st. 2.38 seconds behind Tauscher.

"I do not consider it a defeat," he said. "I skied to the limit. The difference between first and second is often a matter of luck. It was a fantastic course."

Heart attack claims life of FB coach

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The University of South Carolina's athletic department was in a state of shock yesterday after the sudden death of football coach Joe Morrison.

Morrison's tenure was marked by unprecedented success and scandal. He died of a heart attack Sunday night after playing racquetball with defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn and two other friends.
a close friend said he foresaw the tragedy because Morrison would not quit smoking and worked too hard. Athletic controversies put additional stress on his heart.

During his six years as coach, Morrison produced three of the Gamecocks' best seasons, including a 10-2 record in 1984.
University President James B. Holderman called Morrison's death a tragic loss. King Dixon, athletic director, said Morrison, 51, was a giant in the coaching profession who quietly went about the business of putting winning teams on the field.

At the Roost dormitory, living quarters for about 100 players that Morrison had recruited, it was eerily quiet Sunday night.
"It was a very silent,very moving and very humbling affair that made

There was to be a prayer and moment of silence for Morrison at last night's basketball game between Southern Mississippi and South Carolina at Carolina Coliseum, she said.
The Gamecocks planned to wear black arm patches to honor Morrison, said Kerry Tharpe of the sports information department.

Morrison was more than just a

"The many friends he made during a colorful professional career, as well as in the coaching ranks, will agree that he touched many young people during their formative years, and they will be better people for it."
Ford said. "There was a lot more between us than competition on the football field."
Greville businessman Dick Flumn a long-time friend of Morrison's, said Morrison's death didn't surprise him.

He continued smoking and working too hard after his coronary artery disease was diagnosed. Flinn said. The controversies during the past year added to the stress.
