"On Dec 21st I dismissed Chris from the team because at the time I thought it was in his best interest," Valvano said. Today I met with Chancellor (Bruce) Poulton and (N.C. State athletic director) Willis Casey to discuss Chris' rehabiliation as far as the courts are concerned and what role basketball is to play in the rehabilitation. "It is my decision at this time (that) I have none except as regards to my original statement that it (the decision) wUl be in the best interest for Chris," Valvano said Washburn, a 6-foot-ll forward, was sentenced Feb 4 to a suspended six-year sentence, and placed on probation for five years after pleading guilty to three misdemeanor charges in connection with the theft of a stereo from a fellow athlete He will serve 46 hours in jail and is required to 320 hours of community service.

(AP) Nebraska football Coach Tom Osborne said Monday he'll soon be back at modified "full- speed" after being hospitalized nearly a week following double bypass heart surgery.

"I don't think I can run five miles," Osborne said "But I feel fine." Osborne looked pale and tired, but smiled and joked with reporters.

He spoke with a raspy voice he said was caused by tubes placed down his throat during and after the surgery He said the hoarseness will be cleared up in a few weeks. Osborne's recuperation from last Tuesday's surgery was punctuated with phone calls to potential recruits. Osborne called this year's recruiting "tremendous "Maybe it showed I wasn't all that necessary to recruiting Osborne said. "The coaches did a great job without me Prep players sign national letters of intent Wednesday "I feel awful good about the recruiting right now," Osborne said. The surgery means Osborne will modify his scheduling habits, but not his coaching habits, he said.

Tuesday Morning, February 12,1985 Iail 3-B Leach stuns No. 2 seeded Wander AP Laserpholo Leach returns volley from Wilundcr DELRAY BEACH, Fla. Little-known Mike Leach rode his booming serve and the brisk, swirling winds to a stunning 7-5, 6-2 upset victory Monday over second-seeded Mats Wilander in the $1.8 million LlpUm International Players Championships tennis tournament. The surprising triumph boosted Leach, the 1982 NCAA singles champion, into the quarterfinals of this inaugural two-week, Grand Slam-size tournament. Wilander's Swedish Davis Cup teammate, Anders Jarryd, also was ousted Monday, losing to llth-seeded Tomas Smid of Czechoslovakia 6-4 in another fourth-round match.

Jarryd was seeded fourth. In women's play, No. 13 Andrea Ternesvari of Hungary shocked third-seeded Wendy Turnbull of Australia 6-4, 6-3 on the windswept hardcourts at Layer's International Tennis Resort, advancing to the quarterfinals. Rain halted play in the afternoon with top-seeded Ivan Lend! of Czechoslovakia down a set in his fourth-round match with yet another Swede, 13th-seeded Stefan Edberg. After losing the first set 4-6, Lendl was leading 6-5 in the second, with the two on serve.

Tournament officials waited more than hours before calling off play for the remainder of the day. In another men's fourth-round match, this one between two Americans, Tim Mayotte held a 1-0 first-set lead over Greg Holmes. Yannick Noah of France, the No. 9 seed, had his night match against Sammy Giammalva postponed. Young Steffi Graf of West Germany, the women's champion in the tennis exhibition at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, moved into the quarters when Kathy Rinaldi was forced to retire in the second set with a strained muscle in her left thigh.

The women's final in this unique tournament the only non-Grand Slam event with a two-week format and identical 128-player draws in both men's and women's singles is set for Saturday, with the men's title decided on Sundav. Both will be televised nationally by ABC, with the winners pocketing SI 12,500 each. "It's beginning to turn into a dream," Leach said after his victory over Wilander a day after he upset No. 10 Jimmy Arias. "The wind was "terrible, but he got hurt more by it.

I have a short ball toss. If it was a calmer day, obviously it would be a reverse score. Hrbek, Viola will return to Twins' stable By The Associated Press First baseman Kent Hrbek and pitcher Frank Viola, two players who helped boost the upstart Minnesota Twins into American League West contention last season and then filed for salary arbitration this year, signed new contracts Monday. Several others who filed for salary arbitration also signed Monday, including the Baltimore pitching duo of Mike Boddicker, the only AL hurler to win 20 games, and Storm Davis. Also signing were San Diego second baseman Alan Wiggins, free-agent pitcher Bobby Castillo, with Los Angeles, Seattle pitcher Ed Vande Berg and Toronto pitcher Roy Lee Jackson.

Hrbek, who signed a five-year contract, led Twins batters by hitting .311 with 27 home runs and 107 runs batted in last year. Viola, who signed for one year, topped Minnesota pitchers with an 18-12 record and 3.21 ERA. Both 24-year-old players had been scheduled to go to arbitration Friday. No contract terms were announced. But Hrbek had been asking for $1.1 million while the Twins had offered $650,000.

An arbitrator would have awarded either one figure or the other for a one-year contract. Viola, who made S65.000 last season in salary and 510,000 in bonuses, had sought $447,000 and the team had offered $300,000. It was reported that he received a contract worth $375,000, and would get a $50,000 bonus for winning the Cy Young Award. He finished sixth in that voting last season. Boddicker, 27, led the AL last season with a 2.79 ERA while compiling a 20-n record.

Davis, 23, was 14-9 with a 3.12 ERA. The signings of Boddicker and Davis, along with outfielder Larry Sheets and pitchers Bill Swaggef- ty and Ken Dixon, left the Orioles with 30 of the 38 players on their major league roster under contract for the 1985 season. Wiggins, 25, signed a four-year contract. He filed for salary arbitration and had sought 5560,000, while the Padres offered 5425,000. Wiggins batted .258, scored 106 runs and stole 70 bases last season.

Castillo, 29, rejoins the Dodgers after spending the last three seasons with Minnesota. He spent much of 1984 on the disabled list after suffering a mild tear to his rotator cuff in August 1983. Vande Berg, who filed for salary arbitration, went 8-12 with a 4.76 ERA as a starter and reliever last year. He was the last of 10 Seattle players who had filed for arbitration to sign a contract, and his one-year pact was worth $265,000, plus incentives that could bring another Vande Berg, 26, signed his contract 12 hours before his arbitration hearing was scheduled to start in New York. He had sought $335,000 and the Mariners offered 5255,000.

Jackson, who also had filed for arbitration, signed a one-year contract. He recorded 10 saves last season, which tied for the Toronto team high. Also signing contracts Monday were New York Yankees shortstop Andre Robertson. New York Mets shortstop Rafael Santana and Cleveland infielder Mike Fischlin, who had filed for arbitration. nau HiCU IUI ai I.MU allUU.

Lewis seems willing to let bygones be bygones BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Carl Lewis started to answer a question about how he feels the media has treated him, when, surrounded by reporters, he stopped in mid- sentence. "I'm going to be pretty brief, because this is a new year as far as f'm concerned," said the winner of four track and field gold medals at the Summer Olympics. The pre-response qualification addressed the question as well as his answer did. It's clear Lewis, here Monday to accept the annual Dunlop Amateur Athlete of the Year Award, feels he was wrongly criticized by certain reporters last year.

But it also seems clear Lewis wants to let bygones be bygones. When he did answer the question, he talked briefly about how he felt "many people were setting up a double-standard," and quickly added. "But that was 1984, and 1985 has so many new things, exciting things to look forward to." Specifically, Lewis, the athlete who had perhaps the most pressure to perform during the Los Angeles Summer Games, said he wants to enter a field where the pressure to perform is equally intense: entertainment. "I'm looking more toward a long-term deal in entertainment." said Lewis, who added he's been taking acting lessons "on and off" for two years and is also being tutored in dance and voice. Those show biz skills also come in handy in a lucrative line of that many people assumed Lewis would jump info after the Olympics celebrity endorsements.

But, aside from a few relatively small deals. Lewis' face has not been plastered all over television and magazines. Join HACQUET 744-3651 NHL All-Star Game could be rematch of Stanley Cup CALGARY, Aiberta (AP) Wayne Gretzky thinks the National Hockey League All-Star Game could turn into something of a rematch of the last two Stanley Cup finals. Gretzky; the record-setting center of the Edmonton Oilers, will start for the Clarence Campbell Conference in Tuesday night's sold out game at the Olympic Sad- dledome. On his right will be Jari Kurri, his regular Hnemate with the Oilers.

Detroit's John Ogrodnick will be the starting left wing for Coach Glen Sather's team. the first shift, I think Slats (Sather) will put Mike Krushelnyski (Gretzky's usual left Top Twenty wing in Edmonton this season out with us." said Gretzky. "There's no big adjustment for us to play together." If Sather opts for that strategy, he will have an all-Oilers 1 line on the ice against the Prince of Wales Conference's top unit of right wing Mike Bossy, center Brent Sutler and left wing John Tonelli of the New York Islanders. "That would be interesting and not surprising." said Tonelli. "Gretzky is the premier player and I've had the chance to play with him (at the Canada Cup.

where the Sutter-Bossy-Tonelli unit was formed by Sather) and appreciate the things he does." Continued from IB broken bone in his foot that may sideline him the rest of the season. Alabama-Birmingham, 21-5, rejoined the Top Twenty after a one-week absence. DePaul, 15-6, which suffered their first loss in 36 games at the Horizon, their home court, fell from the list of ranked teams for the first time this season. The Demon Deacons, who lost to Dayton 67-63. had been ranked as high as second during the season after being third in the preseason poll.

The norther that blew in Sunday night still packed too much wind Monday. Even the usually calm fishing areas like Of- fatts Bayou and Lake Madeline had a chop and white caps on them. Not only did the norther make area waters too rough for small boat operations, but the sustained northerly winds caused the usual sharp drop in tides. Even if the water had been calm enough for small boat operations, some of the launching facilities in the area were without enough water for operational purposes. Plows through snow! to wet roads!
