i College football THE JOURNAL-NEWS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1985 sunning! backs, tackles n. center stage THE GNS ALL-AMERICA TEAM By JOEL S. BUCHSBAUM Gannett News Service Here is the Gannett News Service All-America team for 1985, based not on publicity but on performance. It was a great year for running backs and big offensive tackles. However, there was not much quality or depth at tight end, center, and place kicker.

The quarterbacks were average. Auburn running back Bo Jackson should win the Heisman Trophy over Iowa quarterback Chuck Long. QUARTERBACK: Chuck Long (6-3 Vz, 210), Iowa (senior). A true gamer who always seems to come up big in the clutch. Chuck is a very accurate thrower.

Long on cool and low on cocky, he sidesteps x-r-v I AP Milinichik (6-4 Vi, 300), North Carolina State (senior). Milinichik can run a 5.1 forty, which is nice. He can bench press close to 600 pounds, which is amazing. And he can totally block his man out of the picture, which is why he was tabbed for this team. Honorable Mention: J.D.

Maarleveld (Maryland), Jim Dombrowski (Virginia), Jeff Walter (Memphis State), John Clay (Missouri), John Davis (Georgia Tech), Greg Robinson (Sacramento), Brian Jozwiak (West Virginia), Randy Dixon (Pittsburgh), Steve Wallace (Auburn), Doug Williams (Texas Will Wolford (Vanderbilt), Paul Blair (Oklahoma State), Steve Trapilo, Boston College (also played guard). PLACEKICKER: John Lee (5-10, 185), UCLA (senior). Clutch kicker and accurate. Honorable Mention: John Di-ettrich (Ball State), Jeff Jaeger (Washington). KICK RETURNER: Erroll Tucker (5-8, 160), Utah (senior).

Looks like the water boy, but once he gets his hands on the ball, Tucker is as dangerous as the bomb. Honorable Mention: Scott Schwedes (Syracuse), Ernest Givens (Louisville), Willie Ware (Mississippi Valley), Ron Millus (Washington). DEFENSE An amazing, acrobatic pass catcher who comes through all the time. McGee gets open, catches poorly thrown passes, and turns into a nifty ball-carrier after the reception. Coach John Majors calls McGee the best receiver he coached at Tennessee, and he tutored three (Anthony Hancock, Willie Gault and Clyde Duncan) NFL first-round picks in Knoxville already.

WIDE RECEIVER: Walter Murray (6-3, 200), Hawaii (senior). Has just about every tool and turns ability into production. No one man can cover this tall, fluid, swift, sure-handed performer. Honorable Mention: Dave Williams (Illinois), John Taylor (Delaware State), Reggie Bynum (Oregon State), Cris Carter (Ohio State), Webster Slaughter (San Diego State), Dameon Reilly (Rhode Island), Bill Brooks (Boston CENTER: Peter Anderson (6-3, 265), Georgia (senior). A very smart, hardworking player who performs beyond his athletic ability.

Anderson is a leader and a winner. Honorable Mention: Bob Maggs (Ohio State), John Adickes (Baylor). OFFENSIVE GUARD: John Rienstra (6-4, 285), Temple (senior). An outstanding, competitive weight-lifter with a near-perfect mixture of size, strength and speed, Rienstra possesses rare quickness for one so large and is a great competitor. Earlier this year he lined up at nose tackle and sacked BYU quarterback Robbie Bosco.

Ballcarrier Lorenzo White has carried Michigan State all year long. And he's only a sophomore. tne rush nicely and will not rattle. Honorable Mention: Vinny Tes-taverde (Miami), Jim Everett (Purdue), Robbie Bosco (BYU), Brian McClure (Bowling Green), John Paye (Stanford), Tom Ehrhardt (Rhode Island). RUNNING BACK: Lorenzo White (5-11, 205), Michigan State (sophomore).

Great, instinctive, du rable and versatile. White literally has carried Michigan State all year long. RUNNING BACK: Bo Jackson (6-1, 222), Auburn (senior). The most gifted athlete in college football, Jackson has a perfect blend of size, speed and strength, soft hands and good running instincts. Honorable Mention: Ronnie Harmon (Iowa), Thurman Thomas (Ok-lahoma State), Paul Palmer (Temple), Nap McCallum (Navy), Reggie Dupard (SMU), Doug Du-" Bose (Nebraska), Barry Word (Vir-.

ginia), Joe Dudek (Plymouth State). TIGHT END: Brian Forster (6-1, 225), Rhode Island (junior). A very productive receiver. Lacks great size, speed and blocking skills, but this is a down year for tight ends. Honorable Mention: John Em-bree (Colorado), Carl Hilton (Houston), Jeff Parks (Auburn), Willie Smith (Miami).

WIDE RECEIVER: Tim Mc- Gee (5-9 Vi, 175), Tennessee (senior). back up what he says with devastating action. DOWN LINEMAN: Mike Ruth (6-1, 260), Boston College (senior). Compensates for lack of height and long arms with awesome strength, unusual quickness, and rare intensity. Started off the year like Superman, but wore down a OFFENSIVE GUARD: Jeff Zimmerman (6-3, 300), Florida (junior).

Looks like a man playing with children. Zimmerman is bigger than an aircraft carrier and strong Green (6-2, 242), Syracuse (senior). A superior technician, competitor and pass rusher who more than makes up for his lack of size with determination, techniques and savvy. DOWN LINEMAN: Mike Hammerstein (6-4, 260), Michigan (senior). Doesn't have great physical tools, yet plays like he's "King Kong" in shoulder pads.

Honorable Mention: Eric Howard (Washington State), Jerry Ball (SMU), Jim Skow (Nebraska), John Bosa (Boston College), Jon Hand (Alabama), Darrell Reed (Oklahoma), Kevin Murphy (Oklahoma). LINEBACKER: Alonzo John Fulcher (6-2, 220), Arizona State (junior). Flat out dominates against the run. DEFENSIVE BACK: Mack Moore (6-0, 195), Oklahoma State (junior). Just jumps out at you.

Lots of big plays and big hits. Ken Eas-ley-type. Honorable Mention: Vestee Jackson (Washington), Allan Durden (Arizona), Vencie Glenn (Indiana State), Thomas Everett (Baylor), Rod Jones (SMU), Kevin Wyatt (Arkansas), Rod Woodson (Purdue), Barton Hundley (Kansas State), Tim McDonald (USC), James Washington (UCLA), Mike Zordich (Penn State), Carl Carter (Texas Tech). PUNTER: Barry Helton (6-2 185), Colorado (sophomore). Grea net to go along with average.

tad. DOWN LINEMAN: Tony Ca-sillas (6-3, 285), Oklahoma (senior). Had some injury problems, but when well was awesome. Casillas is the Sooners' best lineman since Lee Roy Selmon. DOWN LINEMAN: Leslie O'Neal (6-4, 249), Oklahoma State (senior).

Isn't that big, but is that good. O'Neal is quicker than two cats and can run down most backs. LINEBACKER: Michael Brooks (6-0, 225), LSU (junior). An explosive blitzer. Brooks runs like a deer and hits like a demolition ball.

Honorable Mention: Cornelius Bennett (Alabama), would have made first team if not for injuries; Marc Munford (Nebraska), see Bennett; Hardy Nickerson (California), Ray Berry (Baylor), Pepper Johnson (Ohio State), Dale Jones (Tennessee), Shane Bullough (Michigan State), Johnny Holland (Texas Dan McMillen (Colorado), Willie Pless (Kansas), John Offer-dahl (Western Michigan), Ty Allert (Texas), Byron Lee (Ohio State). DEFENSIVE BACK: Mark Collins (5-9 Vt, 190), California, Ful-lerton (senior). A big league hitter who sticks to receivers like glue and can play the ball, too. DEFENSIVE BACK: David er than a tank. Honorable Mention: Mike Black (Sacramento), Jamie Dukes (Florida State), Bob Landsee (Wisconsin).

OFFENSIVE TACKLE: James FitzPatrick (6-8, 270), USC (senior). Once considered the top prep lineman in the U.S., he now is regarded as a better player than former Trojan All-American Keith Van Home. OFFENSIVE TACKLE: Joe DOWN LINEMAN: Tim son (6-2 Vz, 220), Florida (senior). A great blitzer who pursues extremely well. LINEBACKER: Brian Bos-worth (6-2, 215), Oklahoma (sophomore).

A Barclays Home Equity Credit Line allows you to borrow up to $90,000 on the value of your home. playing in the Ivy League, ought to live up to its contractual agreements," said Yukica's lawyer, Michael Slive of Hanover. Slive is a former commissioner of the Pacific Athletic Conference and former athletic director at Cornell University. "If Notre Dame has the courage of its convictions to honor its commitment to Jerry Faust to permit him to coach through his contract, it seems to us that Dartmouth can do no less," Slive said.

Faust resigned as Notre Dame coach last week amid speculation that the school was not going to renew his contract, which expired after this season. Yukica is suing Athletic Director Ted Leland, who could not be reached for comment. College lawyer Sean Gorman said Monday the school will fight the suit, however. He said there is nothing in Yukica's contract that prohibits the school from removing him as football coach. "We're disappointed that things have come to this pass," he said.

"There have been a lot of dis cussions with Mr. Yukica and Mr. Slive and they apparently have chosen to break off discussions and take this action." Several men's and women's college basketball coaches have sued in the past to get back their jobs after they were fired, a spokeswoman at NCAA headquarters in Kansas City said. Schools also have sued to keep coaches under contract from leaving for other jobs. According to the suit, Leland wrote Yukica on Aug.

6 saying he was pleased with Yukica's performance and hoped would continue as coach "far into the future." Slive said the letter served as a renewal of Yukica's appointment as coach. The suit said Yukica's contract runs until June 30, 1987. Leland said last week that Yukica would be employed by the school for the length of the contract, but he declined to say what job Yukica would have. He also said the school would begin searching immediately for a new coach. "We feel it's time for a change in the football program and also a time to evaluate the direction of football at Dartmouth," Leland said last week.

(AP) In a rare move, the fired football coach at Dartmouth College sued the Ivy League school's athletic director Monday to get his job back. Joe Yukica, 54, who has coached eight seasons at Dartmouth, claimed in his suit that his firing Friday He asked the Grafton County Superior Court to allow him to complete the remaining IV2 years on his contract and to restrain Dartmouth from hiring a new coach for the 1986 season. "A school such as Dartmouth, Wtoming names Erickson coach LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) University of Idaho football Coach Dennis Erickson has been named head coach of the University of Wyoming Cowboys.

Wyoming officials announced Monday that the38-year-old Erickson has signed a four-year contract that will bring him $80,000. Erickson, who replaces Al Kin-caid as the head coach of the Cowboys, said he plans to bring a wide-open offensive attack to Wyoming. The coach, who compiled a 32-15 record during his four years at Idaho, strongly emphasizes a passing attack. At Idaho, that attack was dubbed the "Erickson Air Express" and it generated an offense that averaged nearly 500 yards a game during each of the past three seasons. appoints Stan Parrish MANHATTAN, Kan.

(AP) -Stan Parrish, whose pass-happy of- fense returned winning football to Marshall University, was named the new head coach at Kansas State University today. Parrish, who said he would in- stall an air attack at Kansas State, said the first step would be to improve the self-image of the nation's losingest football program oyer the past 51 years. "I want to improve the self-image of the football team," Parrish said said. "I want to be uplifted with a meeting today with the play- ers. And I want to improve the self-image of the players to have them walk through campus proudly.

This is very, very important. Secondly, I want to throw the football a lot. At Marshall we threw the ball over 800 times." 1. Monthly interest charges will be rounded up to the nearest dollar. This extra charge (less than $1.00 per month) will begin to reduce your principal owed.
