NEW YORK (AP) Wide receiver Rob Moore, who set' pass catching records at Syracuse, joins two other players with less substantial, credentials for Tuesday's NFL supplemental draft. Moore, who graduated in June, passed up his redshirt fifth year to file for the draft.

In three years at Syracuse, he caught 106 passes, setting school records with 2,122 yards and 22 touchdowns. Last season he caught 53 passes for 1,064 yards and nineTDs. The other eligible players in the draft are tight end Willie Williams of LSU, who caught 13 passes for 183 yards and one TD in three years, and Ricky Martin of Gram-bling, who filed as a defensive "back but did not play college football. Moore's agent is Gary Wichard, who also took linebacker Brian Bos-worth and quarterback Timm Rosenbach into supplemental drafts in 1987 and 1989. "My philosophy is I like my guys to get all the attention," Wichard said.

"In the regular draft, 38 juniors came out this year. You get into a pot with them and whatever happens happens. Moore is virtually alone in this draft. It gives the guy the attention he deserves." The supplemental draft has been lucrative for Wichard's clients. Bos-worth got $11 million in a 10-year contract with Seattle and Rosen-bach got $5.3 million for five years from Phoenix.

"I don't believe it's right for everyone but if it's available for premier players, it can only help," Wichard said. "I believe my guys made more because of it." Wichard said teams are unable to "slot" salaries in the supplemental draft, that is pay a 10th pick slightly more than an 11th pick and slightly less than a ninth. "Teams hide behind slotting, he said. By Jim Edgar Standard Sports Writer A walk in the park with your honey is fun, but a walk on the dia mond will lead to a nmr And walk the Great Falls Dodg ers did Monday night, frequently in fact, to post a 7-3 win over the Butte Copper Kings and avoid a sweep by the Pioneer League defending Southern Division champions. By the time the contest was over, eight Dodgers had reached base by walks, and four of the first five came around to score.

Rod Busha, who took the mound for the Kings went three and two-thirds innings, suffering his first loss of the season after surrendering five base hits and three walks while fanning three. Errors behind Busha didn't help his cause any, either. Busha opened the contest by walking Garey Ingram on four pitches and followed that with a walk to Ron Maurer after running the count to Griffin then singled to right to plate Ingram, Maurer went to third on the throw back to the infield, getting hit by the ball in the process and scored the Dodgers second run on a single by Tim Griffin. Castellano was charged with an error when the ball hit Maurer, and had he not gotten hit, Maurer would have been out at third. Griffin went to second on Castel-lano's throw and moved to third on a weak single to left by Mike Busch.

After Watts struck out, Ira Smith reached on a fielder's choice when Jon Shave fielded his rap to short, but missed on his throw to second on a tailor-made double'play, and Griffin came home with he third run of the inning. Busha then got out of the inning by getting Eric Blackwell and Dan Gray to ground out. The Dodgers added a run in' the third on a leadoff single by Griffin who took second on a wild pitch, moved up on Busch's ground out and scored on a two-out single by Smith. The Dodgers threatened in the fourth with two outs when Busha walked Ingram for the second time and gave up a single to Maurer. Andy Watson was then summoned from the bullpen and polished off Griffin on a fly ball to center.

Watson suffered much the same damage in the fifth that Busha did in the first. Back-to-back walks to Busch and Watts set the and Smith laid down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners up. Dan Andrews, who took over for Blackwell after he injured his ankle, then singled up the middle to score both runners. East 136-125 on Monday night. Shaquille O'NeaJLof LSU scored 24 points for the Sfiuth and became the top scorer in festivalhistory.

He has 89 points in three games, breaking the record of 77, held by five players who each did it in four games. "We're excited," said North coach Lon Kruger of' Florida. "That's the goal of every team when they come, to get to the gold medal we've got to realize now is that even though we're 3-0, it starts 0-0 tomorrow and winner take all. We don't get any points for being undefeated." Byron Russell of Long Beach State had 20 rebounds for the West (1-2), breakinghp festival record of, 15 shared bySam Pinckney and Terry Mills. Troy Sunderland of Penn State, who wrestles at 149.5 pounds, won the gold medal by beating Corey Carter of SUNY-Farmingdale twice Monday.

Shave, Penn Smith IP ft ER BB SO The Copper Kings picked up their first two runs in the fourth inning after going down in 1-2-3 order in the first three as Ron Walden showed why he is the Dodgers' No. 1 draft choice.

Of the first nine batters Walden faced, he struck out two and had six ground outs. Only Castellano challenged him, lifing a flyball to center in thefirst inning. Penn led off the fourth inning with a perfect bunt, hitting Wal-den's first offering and catching the infield flat footed. Penn then stole second and went to third on a throwing error by Gray on the steal. Shave followed with a walk and stole second.

Gray then failed to catch Walden's next pitch, was charged with a passed ball and Penn had the Kings on the board. Castellano then plated Shave with a groundout. Penn picked up the Kings' third run, ion the sixth inning, beating out an infield single and moving up on Shave's second walk. Castellano then hit into a fielder's choice, erasing Shave but putting Penn on third, and the speed demon came home on Mouton's double. Mouton was stranded at second however as Walden fanned Guggiana.

Penn's run was the only earned run for the Kings, and the first earned run that Walden has surrendered this year. The 6-2 lefthander from Blanchard, Oklahoma had gon 20 13 innings this year before giving up an earned run, and his win Monday night raised his win-loss record to 3-0.

The draft is conducted in three tiers, weighted to favor the teams with the poorest records. The first tier contains those teams with six or less victories last season Dallas, Atlanta, the New York Jets, New England, Tampa Bay, Phoenix, San Diego and Chicago. The second tier has the remaining non-playoff teams Seattle, Detroit, the Los Angeles Raiders, Indianapolis, Miami, "Cincinnati, Kansas City, New Orleans, Washington and Green Bay.

The third consists of the 10 playoff teams Buffalo, Cleveland, Houston, Pittsburgh, Denver, the New York Giants, Philadelphia, Minnesota, San Francisco and the Los Angeles Rams. Teams are arranged according to their records and assigned tokens, with the most tokens g6ing to the teams with the worst record. Thus, Dallas with just one victory last season, gets 28 tokens followed by Atlanta, which won three games and gets 27 tokens. By drafting a player, a team forfeits a 1991 regular draft selection. That's what happened to Dallas last year.

The Cowboys would have had the No. 1 choice in April's draft but used the pick by choosing Miami quarterback Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft after Atlanta, armed with the first pick, passed. Rosenbach of Phoenix and running back Bobby Humphrey of Denver also were first round supplemental choices a year ago, leaving the Cardinals and Broncos without first round picks this year. For the Cardinals, that would have been the third pick of the draft. For the Broncos, it would have been the 25th selection.

Muse's first gold medal Monday came in the 400-meter relay, tying him with table tennis player Sean O'Neill for most golds in festival history. A short time later.

Muse led from the start in winning the 500-meter sprint. "Getting that medal on the stand was really great," said Muse, 23. "I felt like it was my first world gold medal. Every time is a little different, but this was really nice. I felt kind of teary-eyed up there." The record fof most medals won in festival competition belongs to Jim Terrell of El Toro, Calif.

Terrell won four medals in canoe-kayak competition Sunday, giving him 23 in his festival career and breaking the mark of 22 set by gymnast Scott Johnson. Jimmy Jackson of Ohio State scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in helping lead the North to a 95-90 victory over the West in basketball. That sent the North (3-0) into Tuesday's gold medal game against the South, which beat the rl Hz Steve Surico replaced Watson at that point, struck out the first two batters he faced to end the inning, and then fanned the first two in the sixth before, you guessed it, giving up a walk. However, Busch then hit a liner to Shannon Penn for the third out. The Dodgers went in order in the seventh although Smith drew a one-out walk and was then caught steal ing.

In the eighth inning the Dodgers scored their seventh run. Don Gray led off the inning with a walk but was forced a second by Keoki Farrish. Farrish made it to second on a fielding error by third baseman Todd Guggiana on a ground ball by Ingram, and then scored on Maurer's single off Brian Scheetz, the first batter that Scheetz faced. Scheetz then tried to pick off Ingram at second but threw the ball to center field allowing Ingram to move over to third. Scheetz then struck out Griffin and got Busch on a grounder to third.

In the hinth, Watts led off with a single but became the front end of a Shave-to Penn-to Mouton double play off Smith's bat. Andrews then hit his second single in three at bats, but was stranded when Gray fanned. win national championships on all four of USA Wrestling's age group levels Cadet (16-under), Junior (high school age), Espoir (20-under) and University (college age).

He wrestled me a lot tough-, er," Sunderland said. "I wanted to go to Canada to wrestle in the World Cup. That was my goal coming here." Another wrestler, Todd Kinney of Ames, Iowa, was pinned in 31 seconds in his first-round match by Bob Henderson of Rock Springs, Wyo. Then Kinney returned Monday night to pin Henderson at 3:45, then he beat Henderson again in 1:23 to win the gold. Hockey began Monday night with the North beating the West 7-4.

On Sunday, Kanner knocked two seconds off the festival's 400 freestyle record, winning in 3:54.34. "I didn't feel nearly as good as I felt yesterday in the 400," Kanner said.

"I was a little more tired. I didn't even dream I would do this well. It's kind of scary how ever-thing went so perfect for me." The fourth record was set by the West's 800-meter freestyle relay team, which won in 7:36.97, the 12th-fastest time in the world this year.
