A partial repeal would cover just labor matters, allowing the players to take their grievances to court. Baseball union representatives have said the four-month-old baseball strike would end if they had that option.

Baseball has enjoyed an antitrust exemption for 72 years and is the only major sport to do so. lieve Congress will intervene in some manner," said Bunning, a star pitcher in the 1950s and '60s with Detroit and Philadelphia. "I and all baseball fans across the country are deeply concerned about Major League Baseball being played in 1995, at least Major League Baseball as we know it." Bunning said Congress has two options partial or total repeal of baseball's exemption from antitrust laws.

"I was with coach Beamer in Jacksonville at a press conference the Gator Bowl had. From the tone of that, he'll be selling his players that this is a chance of a lifetime for Virginia Tech to earn respect," Fulmer said. "He made the statement that this was the biggest bowl in Tech history. That certainly will motivate their players and be a tremendous challenge." Fulmer said the Vols should consider the game their last chance to prove themselves this season, which began with a difficult 1-3 start but saw the Vols win six of seven. "We finished the season strong.

To do anything less here at the end would be somewhat of a disappointment," Fulmer said. "The fight for our own self-respect continues, and this is another way for us to continue a real good ending to our season." 1 If "'yF A KNOXVELLE, Tenn. Tennessee Coach Phillip Fulmer says the Vols had better not be complacent about their Gator Bowl appearance, because he doesn't expect Virginia Tech to feel that way about it There are circumstances that suggest Tennessee might not take the game very seriously. For one, Virginia Tech will be making its second straight bowl appearance for the first time in history, and enthusiasm for coach Frank Beamer's program is high. While Tech will be in just its eighth bowl game ever, the postseason is old hat for the Vols.

Tennessee will be making its sixth straight bowl game and 13th in the last 14 seasons. Tech already has sold about 16,000 tickets, roughly twice as many as Tennessee, for the game in Gainesville, Fla. All that considered, Fulmer said Thursday, he hopes to convince his get mm $3,503 iVI!

"We haven't had to do that this year. It helps that we've had time to lick our wounds before going back out." Bowl practice also is a time to get extra work for the younger players who didn't see much action during the season. On Wednesday, no one seemed excited about the chance to play again. "That's just the way it is right now," safety Willie Gaston said.

"By the time we get to Florida, we'll be excited. It'll seem more like a bowl game, by then, and we'll be ready." Now, if they can just forget the SEC championship game and the lost opportunity to perhaps play for a national championship. "Some of the guys watched the game again last week," Gaston said. "But I see no reason to. It's not going to change anything.

My two dropped interceptions linger in my mind, but you just-have to get over it" TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Alabama's football players are back on the practice field with a different feeling than they've had all year. This time, they're trying to rebound from a loss the 24-23 setback to Florida in the Southeastern Conference championship game. After an 11-day break, the sixth-ranked Crimson Tide (11-1) began practicing for the Jan. 2 Citrus Bowl against No.

13 Ohio State. "I talked to my dad about three days ago, and he asked me how the team was handling the loss to Florida," junior linebacker John Walters said. "I said we're fine. "He said, Tm not I'm still upset' I said, "Relax, Both teams played so well. We know we played hard.

Florida has a great team. I think the fact that we performed pretty well helped us get over it" Others weren't so sure.

The coach made his comments at a booster breakfast Osborne praised Berringer's performance as the replacement for Frazier, who has undergone treatment for blood clots in his leg since late September. Berringer went 7-0 as a starter and earned second-team All-Big Eight honors by The Associated Press. "As coaches, we felt we had a player in Berringer who certainly was very good. We weren't quite sure how he'd react when the heat was on, but we did know he was 6-4, 210 and could run and had a nice arm," Osborne said.

OMAHA, Neb. Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne didn't know any more Thursday about who will be his starting quarterback for the Orange Bowl than he did after the regular-season finale against Oklahoma last month. Osborne said how much Tommie Frazier plays against third-ranked Miami will depend largely on practices between now and tile Jan. 1 game. "I think the quarterbacks understand this: We're going to do everything we think it takes to win the game," Osborne said.

"That may mean Brook Berringer plays the whole game, it may mean they both play or it may mean Tommie plays most of the game."
