"It will be a matter of playing hard, or we could be out of the game very quickly. They have the best guard tandem (Pugh and Larkin) in the area, we have to be able to control the tempo against them." Geheb said Carroll's two wins last weekend has put some confidence into his team. "We played very well this (past) weekend," he said. "And we beat two good teams. It helped out enthusiasm and confidence.

But we have to maintain our intensity and not get content." Warrior Words: Winamac will look to keep its hold atop the Midw.est Conference against Carroll. "They had a good weekend, and I'm sure they're looking to knock us off and get into first place in the conference." Miller said. "We have to be prepared for their quickness. I don't think you can stop guys like Geheb and Salkie completely, so I just hope we do a good job of not giving them a lot of easy opportunities. We have to be real strong defensively this weekend."

"But we have to play as hard as Pioneer because we know they will be playing hard. When we play Pioneer, you can throw the records and everything out the window. Both teams are 0-0 at the start." Funderburke Eligible To Try Out At OSU COLUMBUS. Ohio (AP) Former Indiana University basketball player Lawrence Funderburke has enrolled at Ohio State and is eligible to try out for the Buckeyes next fall. The 6-foot-9.

210-pound forward-center began classes Wednesday. Buckeyes coach Randy Avers said Thursday. If Funderburke follows team guidelines and meets academic requirements, he could compete as a sophomore bee.inmnn in the winter quarter of 1992. He played six games at Indiana during the non-conference portion of the 1989-90 season, but quit the Hoosiers after a dispute with coach Bob Knight. Funderburke started three of those games.

He averaged 11.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the field and 51.9 percent from the free throw line. He left Wehrle High School in Columbus during a Christmas tournament at Pine Bluff, in his senior year. He had led Wehrle to the Ohio Division IV title as a junior in 1988, averaging 28.5 points per game. He wasn't permitted to rejoin the Wolverines, who went on to successfully defend their title. After leaving Indiana, he enrolled at St.

Catharine Junior College in Springfield, Ky. He re-enrolled at Indiana last fall. Indiana had said it wouldn't grant Funderburke permission to request eligibility at another NCAA school until he completed certain academic requirements. Jay Edwards Cleared To Rejoin Clippers LOS ANGELES (AP) Los Angeles Clippers guard Jay Edwards, who was suspended by the NBA on March 3 for failing his rookie drug test, was given permission this week to return to practice, general manager Elgin Baylor said Thursday. Edwards, the Clippers' 1989 second-round draft pick out of Indiana, is expected to return to practice on Sunday.

The Clippers will have two weeks following Edwards' first day of practice to determine his status. He may be added to the active roster, placed on the injured list or placed on waivers. Before he was suspended, Edwards was hampered by tendini- tis in his left knee. He played in only four games, scoring seven points. After he was suspended, he underwent surgery on the patella tendon in his left knee.

"I am very pleased to have the opportunity to rejoin the L.A. Clippers," Edwards said in a statement released by the team. "During my time away from the game, I have learned a great deal. I want very much to put the recent past behind me and to dedicate myself to making a contribution to my team." Panel Says No Rose On Ballot NEW YORK (AP) Pete Rose, who two years ago was a sure-shot for the Hall of Fame, may never even get on the ballot. Baseball's old guard took the first step toward barring the former Cincinnati manager on Thursday when a special committee recommended by a 7-3 vote that players on the ineligible list not even be on the ballot.

"Pete expected it," said restaurateur Jeff Ruby, a longtime Rose friend who visited him on Thursday. Ruby told reporters outside Talbert House that Rose "wasn't surprised and wasn't depressed" by the vote. The proposal will be considered by the Hall's board of directors on Feb. 4. If approved, the only way Rose could get into the Hall would be if he is reinstated from the permanent ineligible list by the baseball commissioner.

Rose, baseball's career hits leader, agreed to his lifetime ban on Aug. 23, 1989, following an investigation into whether he bet on baseball and on his own Cincinnati Reds while he managed the team. He may appeal for reinstatement at any time. "I personally just felt that anybody who was on the ineligible list just shouldn't be a candidate for the Hall of Fame," American League president Bobby Brown said. The Rose matter wasn't Pete Rose Not surprised, friend says on the agenda for Thursday's meeting, called primarily to consider changes in the voting procedure of the veterans' committee.

However, former American League president Lee MacPhail raised the issue and Brown proposed the resolution. Under the current rules. Rose would become eligible for the ballot next year. "No one was trying to take away from Rose as a player," MacPhail said. "No one wants to detract from what he did on the field.

But the criteria for election to the Hall of Fame includes things like integrity, character and sportsmanship, and we simply felt that no one who is on baseball's permanent ineligible list meets those qualifications." Hall of Fame president Ed Stack voted against the proposal as did Jack Lang and Phil Pepe of the Baseball Writers Association of America. NL president Bill White and Hall of Famer Whitey Ford, who also were on the committee, were unable to attend Thursday's meeting.

Logansport won seven of 13 matches and had a tie in another, but lost the meet when Anderson recorded pins in the final three weight classes to take a 29-26 decision from the Berries Thursday night.

Area Action Although he wasn't thrilled with the ending, Logansport coach Al Thomas wasn't too upset with the loss. "You know how swim coaches say their swimmers are swimming tired? Well, we wrestled tired tonight," Thomas said. "I've been working them hard this week, then we'll ease off next week and be fresh for the conference. "Dual meets are fine for your record, but looking for improvement through the year and to get in shape for the conference meet (Jan. 19) the state tournament series." One Berry tuning up for the sectional is Brad Graves, who moved up from 119 pounds to 125 and recorded a 2-0 win to improve to 18-1.

"We moved him up because we needed to get him some good competition to get him ready," Thomas said. Graves scored a takedown in the first period, then after an uneventful second period, stayed in control throughout the third. Brad Rozzi at 152 also scored an impressive decision. 9-5 over Chris Murphy. "That was one of the best matches of the night," Thomas said.

"That kid Brad was wrestling has the quickest fall of the year in that class. Brad wrestled a smart match." Murphy had a takedown six seconds into the match, but Rozzi re- WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Notre Dame coach Digger Phelps was concerned about Wichita State after the Shockers lost to intrastate rival Kansas State on Monday. "We knew coming in this would be a difficult game for us," Phelps said. "The game against Kansas State probably put them in an upbeat situation." Wichita State 60 Notre Dame 50 Shockers held Notre Dame to its lowest score this year and easily beat the Irish defense Logansport's Brad Graves gets mond.

Graves went on to win the bounded with a reversal and a near fall in the last minute of the first period. He then added takedowns in the next two periods. Three matches that came down the wire were Brad Shively's (130), Jeff Bridge's (145) and Troy Thompson's (112). Andy a leg up Anderson's Abby Ray- 125 pound match by decision 2-0. Shively gained a 7-4 decision with a near fall with only 10 seconds left.

Bridge was up 7-5, but a reversal with 40 seconds left tied the match. He then managed an escape with just two seconds to go for an 8-7 win. See AREA, Page B2 The Shockers' game was upbeat: they passed quickly around Notre Dame's 2-3 zone and when the Irish pressed midway through the second half, they broke it easily for layups. They boosted their record to 8-6 with a 60-50 victory. On defense, the Shockers held the Irish to their second lowest point total of the year, next to the 47 scored in an 82-47 loss to North Carolina Jan.

5. While Notre Dame was playing good defense itself, center LaPhonso Ellis, the team's leading scorer, was held to just seven points. "Usually, it's the opposite: the defense isn't working." Ellis said. "We played good defense, we just had too many turnovers on offense." Notre Dame (4-9) committed 19 turnovers, Wichita State (9-6) only six. "Six turnovers, is that all?" Wichita State coach Mike Cohen said.

"That's incredible," Without Daimon Sweet's 7 of 13 shooting from the field, the Irish were a combined 13 of 41 (31.7 percent). Ellis was particularly frustrated, he said.

Carrier, who led the NFL with 10 interceptions, was chosen by the Chicago Bears and immediately signed a five- year, $4.2 million contract.

The selection was criticized by many observers who said Carrier, a safety from Southern Cal, belonged in the lower part of the opening round. The Bears even admitted a major reason for drafting Carrier so high was his willingness to sign immediately. But Carrier proved those naysay- ers wrong as he easily won the balloting by 80 sports writers and broadcaster who cover the NFL.
