D-2 Wednesday, March 7, 1990THE COURIER-NEWS FOOTBALL fi Ryam ioTisyll Gw smiyb torn Jft Fa By Gannett News Service players. Ryan, who said he has successfully rehabilitated torn ligaments in his left knee, didn't expect the snub. "They're obviously ignoring me," he said. "I feel fine. But I'm a little insulted.

I don't know what's going on there at all." The Plan free agent said he did expect to be left unprotected last month because of his $770,000, salary this year but didn't count on being out in the cold. Ryan said he visited the Jets' complex last month when he spoke with Coslet and Steinberg and was given no clue his days as a Jet were numbered. Ryan would like to play one more season after missing last season's first seven games because of a preseason knee injury. Mackey, 28, is six years younger and makes $600,000 a year less than Ryan. O'Brien, 29, is under contract for $1.3 million this season, and Eason, 28, for $1.25 million.

Seeking stronger steroids program DETROIT A stronger program directed at further curtailment of the use of steroids by National Football League players will be proposed to the owners by commissioner Paul Tagliabue at the league's annual meet ings in Orlando, Fla. Revision of the existing policy to allow repeated and more stringent testing methods is part of the new commissioner's plan, league spokesman Joe Browne said yesterday. "I believe these revisions will put more teeth into the existing policy on steroids," he said. The meetings open Sunday and are expected to conclude no later than Friday afternoon. Tagliabue hopes to end remaining negotiations on a new television contract in time to have the owners vote on the new agreements Sunday.

He already has negotiated contracts with ABC for telecasts on Monday night, and Sunday night packages with the cable networks ESPN and TBS. Those agreements are for four years through 1993 and worth a combined $1.8 billion. Tagliabue still must negotiate contracts with CBS and NBC, which carry the bulk of the league's games on Sundays. He met with the networks Monday, Browne said. The combined contracts are expected to pay each team an average of at least $30 million a year, a hefty increase over the $17 million they received in 1989 the final year of their last contract HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.

Veteran Pat Ryan wasn't invited to a three-day quarterbacks camp yesterday, signaling the apparent end of his 12-year career with the New York Jets. "We appreciate everything he's done for the Jets, but we do not plan on having him back for the season," general manager Dick Steinberg said. "We'll do our best to help get him situated somewhere else." New coach Bruce Coslet instructed Ken O'Brien, Tony Eason and Kyle Mackey, all on the team's 37-man protected list, to attend a mandatory orientation to his new system. According to the NFL's Management Coun- cil, Ryan, 34, an unconditional free agent, is eligible to "take part in such an orientation. But Ryan was not contacted about the sessions, which Coslet is conducting together with his offensive assis- tants to give the quarterbacks a head start for a March I 19 introductory minicamp.

That five-day camp will introduce Coslet's system to 'the team's remaining protected players in addition to any newly signed free agents and selected unprotected The league expanded its substance-abuse policy last year to include steroids in the mandatory testing program administered to players in training camp. The league suspended 13 players for testing positive. The players union has opposed random testing for all drugs, except in cases where players have previously tested positive for illegal substances, such as cocaine. Browne would not specify what measures Tagliabue has in mind because he said he felt they first should be presented to the owners for discussion. On the playing front, the instant replay for officiating, which got a one-year reprieve last year as a going-away present to retiring conimissioner Pete Rozelle, faces an uncertain future as it comes up for approval again.

It passed 24-4 last year. The instant replay has been used the past four seasons on a so-called experimental basis. Its supporters have not been able to get it adopted as a permanent rule change. A vote of 21 owners is required to make it permanent. Expansion, eligibility of college underclassmen for the" draft, length of games, coach-official relations and the "in-the-grasp" rule on quarterbacks are among other items on the agenda.

IN THE BLEACHERS By Steve Moore SCOREBOARD SPORTS SCAN TRANSACTIONS PRO BASKETBALL (TWOS- VWIttAM OUjERRlFlC I SUPFbSE I'M (JMr To BE THE ONE PICKED AGAIN. Maxie Baughan joining Vikings Former Cornell University head football coach Maxie Baughan has been named assistant linebacker coach for the Minnesota Vikings, the National Football League team announced yesterday. Coaching from 1983-88, he compiled a 28-29-2 record at Cornell, and his 1988 squad won a share of the Ivy League championship with Pennsylvania, posting a 7-2-1 overall mark. Baughan will replace Monte Kiffin, the previous Minnesota linebacker coach who left the team to take a similar position with the New York Jets last month. "When the job opened up, the only man I thought about was Maxie Baughan," Vikings defensive coordinator Floyd Peters said.

Peters and Baughan were together in 1980-81 when both were assistant coaches for the Detroit Lions. At that time Baughan was defensive coordinator and Peters was defensive line coach. The Vikings, under head coach Jerry Burns, were National Football Conference Central Division champions last year but most observers were disappointed the talent-ladened team faltered in the last month and was routed in the first round of the playoffs by the Super Bowl-champion San Francisco 49ers. Minnesota's defense was ranked No. 1 overall in the NFL.

Baughan resigned from Cornell in April 1989 after reports of a romantic relationship with the wife of an assistant coach. A member of the College Football Hall of Fame, he played in the NFL from 1960-74 and appeared in a nine Pro Bowls, a record for a linebacker. He played with the Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Redskins. Baughan, an Ail-American at Georgia Tech, was an NFL assistant coach with the Redskins, Baltimore Colts as well as the Lions before going to Cornell. Since leaving Cornell, he coached a group of Ivy League all-star players in Japan in December.

Baughan was replaced by former assistant coach Jack Fouts. After the 1989 season, Fouts resigned under pressure, and Jim Hofher, a former Cornell quarterback and assistant coach at the University of Tennessee, was named head coach.

AFTER A DAY of windstorms and upsets Monday, four of five seeded players won their matches yesterday in the $1 million Newsweek Champions Cup at Indian Wells, Calif. Second-seeded Stefan Edberg advanced to the third round with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Scott Davis. Pete Sampras, the 13th seed, defeated Ramesh Krishnan, 6-3, 6-2. Fourteenth-seeded Emilio Sanchez beat Paul Anna-cone, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, and 16th seed Horst Skoff edged Rikard Bergh, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Darren Cahill upset 12th seed Andrei Gomez, 7-5, 6- 4.

Baseball: Phillies sign last 3 The final three unsigned players on the Philadelphia Phillies roster agreed to one-year contracts yesterday. First baseman Ricky Jordan, 24, and left-handed pitchers Pat Combs, 23, and Dennis Cook, 27, have siped deals, Ed Wade, the team's administrator of player personnel, said. Jordan hit .285 in 1989 with 12 home runs and 75 RBI. After a slow start, he bounced back to hit .298 in the second half and led the league in RBI in August with 28. Combs was called up from the minors in September and in six starts went 4-0 with a 2.09 ERA.

Cook, who was acquired from the San Francisco Giants in a mid-season trade, went 7-8 with a 3.72 ERA in 23 games. STEVE HOWE, suspended six times in his baseball career for drug and alcohol problems and unofficially banned the last two years, will be allowed to return to the major leagues starting in 1991, Commissioner Fay Vincent said yesterday. Howe, released by the Texas Rangers on Jan. 19, 1988, for using alcohol in violation of his aftercare program, can return to the minor leagues this season, Vincent said. Howe was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1980, but was released by Los Angeles, Minnesota and Texas because of his problems.

He was suspended for the 1984 season by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for cocaine use..
