Page 6, Daily Sitka Sentinel, Sitka, Alaska, Thursday, August 3,1995 Sentinel Sports Buffalo Safety Sets Sights on Starting Alabama Head Coach Senate Panel Passes By The Associated Press Friday could be a special night for Kurt Schulz. The safety, in his fourth year with Buffalo, could be a starter when the Bills are home to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Only twice before in his NFL career has Schulz started a game -against San Francisco in 1992 and in the playoffs the same year against Houston. "I wasn't actually starting," Schulz said of his postseason outing. "I was in on dime coverage (against Houston If Schulz does start, it will be because the Bills will be resting Matt Darby, who has missed practice this week with a pulled hamstring.

Schulz has gained experience as a regular member of the Bills' nickel and dime coverages. Schulz has also made his mark on special teams with 13 tackles, sixth most on the team last But it's not the same as starting as far as he is concerned. "Nobody is going to accept it (not starting), because that's what you work for," he said. "But I'm not thinking about it. I'm just trying to get better at the And if he starts Friday? "If I do, I'm not going to read anything into it," Schulz said.

"Matt's the starter." Falcons Offensive lineman Erik Norgard, who played with tlie Houston Oilers for six years, has agreed to a three-year contract with Atlanta. Norgard, 29, planned to sign with the Falcons if he passes a physical today. The 6-foot-1, 282-pound Norgard started seven games and played in 16 for the Oilers last year, seeing action at four positions center, right guard, left guard and tight end plus the special teams. Eagles William "Refrigerator" Perry may be coming out of retirement. "I told Fridge not to go into his pro wrestling career too early," Eagles coach Ray Rhodes said.

"If we have some problems during the season, he's a guy I wouldn't mind dusting off and bringing back. But this is not the type of weather for the Fridge to be coming The Eagles could use his bulk in the middle of then- line. Left tackle Andy Harmon, is out for another week or two with a groin injury and right tackle Rhett Hall, a free agent acquisition from San Francisco, has started only two of the 33 NFL games in which he's played, and is a better pass rushertfjan run snuffer.

Also in camp are Daniel Stubbs, former New York Jet Mark Gunn and two rookies, Eric Fontenot and Thomas Baskin.

The ends, rookie Mike Mamula and William Fuller, are pass-rush specialists, and Rhodes wants to get some bigger interior linemen who can clog the running lanes. He had hoped to sign Bill Johnson, who was waived by the Cleveland Browns, but Johnson was picked up by Cincinnati on Tuesday. Saints Renaldo Turnbull, the New Orleans Saints' Pro Bowl linebacker who was shifted to defensive end this year, will undergo surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon. "How long he'll be out depends on how bad it is when they go in and coach Jim Mora said. Tumbull, a No.

1 pick in 1990, injured his nght arm last week. Two examinations at camp prompted officials to send him back to New Orleans on Wednesday for an examination by Dr. Terry Habig, the team doctor. Habig told Mora the tendon is torn, but until surgery is performed there is no way to tell how badly it's torn. If it is completely detached from the bone, Tumbull will be lost from six to 10 weeks, Mora said, Seahawks John Friesz is a backup quarterback behind Rick Mirer, but he knows his time will come this season.

It's just a matter of when. "The way the NFL works, I will play this year," Friesz said. "Hopefully, Rick won't get him. But the reality is that backups Mirer, the second player chosen in the 1993 NFL draft and Seattle's starting quarterback, started the first 29 games of his pro career before breaking his left thumb against Indianapolis. Dan McGwire, Mirer's backup last season, stepped in for the last three games.

Friesz was signed by the Seahawks as an unrestricted free agent on March 17 after new Seattle coach Dennis Erickson decided he didn't want Friesz, 28, was with San Diego for four seasons and then signed with the Washington Redskins as a free agent last year. He's started 27 of the 45 NFL games he's played in, making four starts with the Redskins last season. Cowboys Veteran guard Derek Kennard has reached agreement with Dallas, accepting a two-year contract that will pay him an estimated $275,000 this year and up to $900,000 next year. "He's valuable. He's like having two people," coach Barry Switzer said of Kennard, a former center who started 16 regular-season games and two playoff games for the Cowboys last season.

Right tackle Erik Williams is still recovering from injuries from a car accident last year. In addition, rookie guard Shane Hannah, a second-round draft pick, is scheduled for knee surgery Friday and is expected to miss six to eight weeks. On Tuesday, backup center Dale Hellestrae broke his right thumb, putting him out of action for two to three weeks. Seahawks Already beset by injuries and personal problems, the Seattle Seahawks got more bad news when left tackle Ray Roberts underwent surgery that will keep him out six to eight'weeks. Roberts has had surgery three times since breaking a bone and damaging a ligament in his left ankle last December.

Have Detected Cancer DALLAS (AP) A new test could have detected cancer in the lungs of baseball great Mickey Mantle before he underwent a liver transplant, a research doctor at the nation's premier transplant institute said. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Transplant Institute developed and uses the blood test, which detects albumin produced in the liver. If a cell in the blood is detected showing an albumin product, that cell undoubtedly came from the liver, said Dr. Brian Carr, who developed the test "Normal liver cells only stay in the liver, therefore if a liver cell is found in the blood, it must be a liver cancer cell," he said. Had Mantle's doctors known of the cancer, he would not have been a candidate for the transplant, Carr "A rare resource (a donated liver) could have been given to someone" with a better chance of survival, he said Mantle's cancer is a potentially aggressive form known as a hepatoma.

It can easily recur in his new liver or migrate, because even after a transplant, cancerous cells can remain in a recipient's blood and lymphatic system, experts say. Can says the new test is 200,000 times more sensitive than a CAT scan in detecting cancer cells. However, the Pittsburgh test was published only within the past six months, remains under study and is not an accepted standard, said Dr. Goran Klintmalm, director of the Baylor University Medical Center transplant program, where Mantle had surgery, "We are looking to set up such tests like that here, but it's not yet an accepted test It is still under evaluation," he said. Mantle's doctors discovered several cancerous spots on the former New York Yankee's right lung during a routine follow-up exam to his June 8 liver transplant The spots didn't turn up during a full-body scan three days before Mantle's transplant to replace a liver badly damaged by hard drinking, hepatitis and cancer.

Mantle's gastroenterolo- gist, Dr. Daniel DeMarco, said doctors suspect the cancer was in the lung at the time, but was so small it was Klintmalm would not give a prognosis for Mantle's survival, but said the center has treated other patients who have developed cancer after a transplant. "We have some patients that have not survived more than a year and we have some patients eight years out," he said. While Mantle's doctors were planning aggressive chemotherapy treatments on the 63-year-old Hall of Famer, they warned Mantle that the newfound cancer could spread. Dr.

Robert Goldstein, Mantle's transplant surgeon, said, "We are treating this very aggressively, and we are hopeful." Unless his doctors are set to perform further cancer surgery, the baseball great probably has less than a year to live, a research doctor says. "If they do not (operate to remove the lung the prognosis is not very extended. It would be a year -maybe," said Dr. Isaac Djerassi, a research oncologist at Mercy Catholic Medical Center in Philadelphia.

(AP) -Even Gene Stallings, the mild-mannered coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, was bitter.

Stallings broke into a clenched- teeth oratory after the NCAA delivered a sentence so stiff it even targets Alabama's hallowed record book. The top officials in Alabama's athletic department and fans all over the state were horrified at the breadth of the penalties: three years' probation including a postseason ban this season, scholarship reductions and the forfeiture of 11 games in which an ineligible athlete played. As it all unfolded inside Alabama's football building, life went on outside. On a sun-soaked lawn across the street from the Paul W. Bryant Museum, cheerleaders kicked and twirled with all their might, practicing for a season that will be shrouded in infamy.

''The biggest thing is, the unity and the family of this football team is in question right now," said senior Shannon Brown, a defensive lineman. "What is it going to take to keep that together?" Never before on probation during decades of prominence, including six national championships, Alabama now faces a task similar to that by its fiercest rival, Auburn. The Tigers were banned from the postseason for two years and television for one, but recorded a 20-1-1 record. A television ban was not imposed on Alabama, but the Crimson Tide stands to lose about 30 scholarships over years a sanction that could stick with the team for years to come. "I think it'll make a difference with the reduction in scholarships," Stallings said.

"That doesn't leave you much room for error on the judgment of players. I think that's pretty stiff penalty, I really do." The NCAA cited the Tide football program for exhibiting "a distressing, failure of institutional control." A statement released by the NCAA said Alabama was censured for three chief reasons: A A player obtained from boosters six impermissible deferred-payment 1 loans-totaling- during 1 and'1990. The player, Gene completed his career in the fall of 1989. The NCAA said he never repaid' thelpans. i Antonio Langham was allowed' to play in 11 regular-season games in 1993 even though he had signed an agent, and athletic officials were- aware that a potential violation of rules had occurred.

The. school's faculty: athletics representative provided "false and misleading information" to the NCAA in the Langham case. University president Roger Sayers complained that the infractions com-; mittee failed to grasp "who knew; what, and when." 'Knowing the facts of our case, the penalties are without precedent," Sayers said. The sanctions against Alabama call, for the loss of four scholarships for 1995-96, which Alabama already given up voluntarily, plus four more "for 1996-97. In addition, Alabama will only be able to sign 12 new recruits in 1996-97 and 16 in instead of ap to 25 each year.

The total number of scholarships lost depends on how many players-' graduate or otherwise leave the pro-1 gram, creating new space on the ros-' ter. Assuming normal attrition, Alabama is looking at a net loss of 30 scholarships during the probation. Sayers called Alabama's sanctions "excessive and inappropriate" and said the school would appeal. Play-for-pay accusations by Jelks started the probe, but they did not stick. The ensuing investigation, how- ever, uncovered the loans.

The most serious matter and the one that warranted the severe, penalties, according to NCAA infractions committee head David Swank was the mishandling of eligibility questions regarding Langham. According to NCAA documents, Langham told Stallings something about signing with an agent the mom- ing after Alabama won the national: championship by beating Miami in the Sugar Bowl in January 1993. Stallings conferred with athletic director Hootie Ingram, but the NCAA was not alerted until the season was almost over. Stallings said he saw nothing wrong with helping Langham get out of his commitment to the NFL and return to school. "I'm trying to help a player stay in school and do what he wants to do, with no attempt to cover up anything," Stallings said, his usually calm demeanor shaken.

"Here's a player who said, made a mistake. Can you help I asked him if there was any money involved, and he said there wasn't I'm not a detective. And I don't want the NCAA to make a detective out of Swank said that the matter of Langham's eligibility could have easily been put to rest had university officials declared the player ineligible as soon as they found out about his dealings with the agent. Alabama could then have applied for Langham's reinstatement. "Injight of what has occurred in similar cases, (Langham) probably would have been ineligible for.two or three games," Swank said.

The penalties were worsened further by an inaccurate report filed by faculty athletics representative Tom Jones on Langham and the agent, Swank said. According to the NCAA, the Nov. 23, 1993 report falsely stated that Langham did not know the agent, assumed a $400 check, he received from him would be repaid, and never intended to leave school early for the NFL. Swank said the report was "replete with inaccurate and incomplete information." Sayers scoffed at the charge, which had not; appeared any-pf the thousands of pages of correspondence between the school and the NCAA. "I categorically reject the one instance of unethical conduct they allege," he said.

Jones was town, the university said. Langham, now with the Cleveland Browns, said: "I'm not talking about Alabama. That's in the past: Call Alabama." The forfeiture of games puts an ugly asterisk on the Tide's record book. The 1993 team went 8-2-1 during the games Langham played and 9-3-1 overall. With the forfeits, Alabama's record would be 1-12, the worst since 1955.

Alabama would also presumably have to rewrite its impressive record book. Among the casualties would be the record 45 victories by the class of 1991-94 and Jay Barker's 32 victories as a starter, more than any other quarterback in Crimson Tide history. Just as Alabama fans celebrated the Tigers' NCAA in the east Alabama hamlet of Auburn toilet-papered a downtown landmark known as Toomer's Comer. That's usually done after a victory by the Tigers, who themselves emerge from probation this season. The cases of the two rivals run afoul have been inexorably linked.

Auburn was reprimanded for improper payments to Eric Ramsey, a player who secretly tape-recorded conversations about money, a scandal that led to coach Pat Dye's resignation in 1992. WASHINGTON (AP) By a narrow margin, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted today to lift Major League Baseball's 'exemption, from antitrust laws, which has been in effect since 1922. The committee voted, 9-8, to send a bill that would lift the exemption to the full Senate, which will take up the measure for 'the first time after years of failed attempts by lawmakers to remove baseball's unique status. Without an antitrust exemption, baseball would have to operate like a normal business, vulnerable to federal lawsuits over such things as contracts, player suspensions and work conditions. As it is, the players felt their only alternative was to strike.

The bill would not affect franchise relocation rules or the minor leagues. "Repeal of the antitrust immunity for baseball is now in order," said Sen. Oriin Hatch, R-Utah, committee chairman and the bill's chief author, noting negotiations between players and owners have been suspended for 14 weeks. "The immunity has distorted relations in major league baseball and has sheltered baseball from the market forces that have.allowed the other professional sports, such as football and basketball, to thrive," he said. The panel also rejected, 11-6, an amendment by Sen.

Alan Simpson, that would have preserved the antitrust exemption if a new independent baseball commissioner were appointed within 90 days. It is unlikely owners would appoint a new commissioner in that time frame. The current commissioner, Bud Selig, is serving hi a temporary capacity. Repeal of the exemption has-been under consideration by several congressional committees because of the. team owners' refusal to hire a com-, missioner and the ongoing absence of Nebraska Player Charged After Late-Night Shooting LINCOLN, Neb.

(AP) Nebraska backup receiver and track star Riley Washington has been charged with attempted murder in a late-night shooting at a convenience store. Washington surrendered to police Wednesday after an arrest warrant was issued accusing him of attempted second-degree murder and using a weapon to commit a felony. He is accused of shooting Jermaine Cole, 22, outside a Lincoln convenience store Tuesday night. Cole was reported in fair condition today at a Lincoln hospital. Joan Leitzel, interim Nebraska chancellor, issued a brief statement today, saying the university was monitoring the case.

"We are concerned any time students are involved in incidents with weapons, particularly when a shooting has occurred," she said. "We are awaiting developments in the incident that occurred involving Riley Washington, but at this time his status as a student at the University of Nebras- ka-Lincoln remains unchanged." Sports information director Chris Anderson said any statements on the case.would come from the chancellor. She said that neither NU coach Tom Osborne nor athletic director Bill Byrne planned to issue statements or hold news conferences today. Several shots, were fired from a small caliber handgun in the Tuesday night incident, police said. Cole was hit by one shot in the chest under his right arm.

"The victim told us he arrived at the shop and was'getting out of a car when he was confronted by Washington," Police LL Kim Koluch said. "The two exchanged words when Washington produced this gun and started shooting." Cole was found by police about a block from the store. Koluch said she didn't know what the confrontation, was about, but said the two apparently knew' each other. Police and James Hoppe, Washing- a labor agreement between the owners and players. Last September, the House Judiciary Committee approved a bill to lift the exemption but it never reached the floor for a vote.

The labor dispute prompted the players to strike last Aug. ihe playoffs and World Series and delaying the start of the 1995 season. Hatch stressed that the lifting of the exemption would not apply to franchise relocation rules or minor baseball leagues. "Major league baseball's ability to control franchise relocation and to deal with the minor leagues would remain unchanged," he said. "I think major league baseball's gone too far," said Sen.

Patrick Leahy, D-Vt "I don't think, they even understand the damage they've done." Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said, "I don't believe it (baseball) is Coca-Cola or. Miller's or Procter Gamble. "I don't understand why the Senate feels it necessary to stick its oar into" professional baseball, Feinstein said. "To do this at a time when major- league baseball is hurting is a terrible mistake." Feinstein said she would-prefer to extend the antitrust exemption to all major sports that have leagues.

61 addition to Hatch, Leahy and Simpson, committee members voting for the bill were Sens. Strom Thur-' mond, Fred Thompson, R- Michael DeWine, R-Ohio; Spencer Abraham, Edward M. Kennedy, and Russ Feingold, D-Wis. Senators voting against the measure, in addition to Feinstein, were Charles Grassley, R-Iowa; Joseph Biden, Howell Heflin, Paul Simon, D-D1; Arlen Specter, R- Hank and Jon Scoreboard Baseball American League All Times EOT East Division PctGB Boston-- 39' NewYork 44 43- 4- Baltimore 44 44" "300 5 Detroit 41 48 .461 8 ft Toronto 39 49 .443 10 Central Division PctGB Cleveland. 60 27 .690 -Milwaukee 43 45 .489 17 V- KansasCity 41 45 1477 18 Chicago 39 48 .448 21 Minnesota 31 57 .356 29 West Division PctGB California 56 33 629 -Texas 45 .44 .506 11 Seattle 43 46 .483 13 Oakland 42 49 .462 15 Wednesday's Games Milwaukee 5, New York 2 Texas 5, Oakland 4 Baltimore Toronto 0 Detroit 5, Boston 0 Cleveland 12, Minnesota 6 Chicago 5, Kansas City 2 California 5, Seattle 4 Thursday's Games Kansas City (Bunch 0-2) at Chicago (Bertotti 1-0), 2:05 p.m.
