PAGE C4 WATERLOO COURIER WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1992 Colts rookie nose tackle drawing rave reviews in camp foot-1, 290-pound Perry's meniscus cartilage was repaired in the procedure and a cyst was also removed, Dino Lucarclli said. Jets Jim Sweeney, New York's starting center for the last 110 games, will miss three to four weeks following arthroscopic surgery to remove floating debris from his elbow. The problem, which sidelined the veteran for several days during camp, was discovered during a magnetic resonance imaging test on Tuesday. Packers The Green Bay Packers held their first scrimmage without wide receiver Sterling Sharpe and linebacker Tony Bennett, both nursing ankle injuries, and offensive lineman Tony Mandarich, who has a bone bruise on his left knee. By The Associated Press At a mere 6 feet in height, Indianapolis Colts nose tackle Tony McCoy has become an imposing figure to teammates and coaches alike.

i like him. He reminds me of myself," linebacker Jeff Hcrrod said of the 279-pound rookie. "Because of his size, people look over him and think he's not tough, like some people looked at me. "He's intense, hyper," Herrod added. "He does a good job of being an over-achiever." The Colts began practicing their goal-line defense Tuesday and McCoy caught coach Ted Marchibroda's eye.

"Tony made a nice play," Marchibroda said. "He made penetration so that the back couldn't cut into the hole, and basically stopped the play." McCoy arrived in camp at Anderson University with a reputation of being relentless in pursuit of the football. "There were three or four of our scouts who felt that way about him," Marchibroda said. "This is what we were looking forward to seeing when he came here and that's exactly the way he's been playing." "I only know one way to play football, and that's hard," McCoy said. "I want to help this football team.

I've got the confidence that I can and I don't look at myself as a second-stringer." Cardinals At Flagstaff, the Phoenix Cardinals got some bad news on tackle Jackie Slater is back at work after a bout with the flu. Slater signed a contract Friday and got in only one day of practice before getting sick. "Jackie looks good," coach Chuck Knox said. "He got right back out there today and did OK. He showed the first day he can still run, he still has the physical tools." Falcons Joey Browner, released by Minnesota last week, continued his tour of camps by completing a two-day physical with Atlanta.

He then left for Indianapolis and a workout today with the Colts. Browns Defensive lineman Michael Dean Perry underwent surgery to repair a torn cartilage in his right knee and will be out for three weeks, a team spokesman said. The 6- Tuesday when quarterback Timm Rosenbach, out all last year with a right knee injury, jammed the thumb on his right hand. Also, tackle Joe Wolf strained a pectoral muscle and inside linebacker Eric Hill pulled his right hamstring. Raiders At Oxnard, Greg Harrell was given to opportunity to devote all of his energy to the U.S.

bobsled team when the Los Angeles Raiders released the fomier Maryland wide receiver. Harrell, who spent parts of last season on the Raiders' developmental squad, was released when the Raiders needed to beef up their linebacking crops. He was replaced on the roster by free agent Greg Gilbert. Rams At Irvine, 17-year veteran Economist: Free agents could earn much more Refrigerant cans. 7 H-fr-1-- TTvi I 15 15 gf 15 I MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Only a handful of the NFL's best players make salaries that approach their market value, but even they would make more if they weren't restricted by the league's free agency rules, an economist has testified.

Michael Glassman, testifying Tuesday for eight players who filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL, said only five 1990 restricted free agents were paid close to what they could have received it they had been free to negotiate with any team. He said they were running back Neal Anderson and quarterbacks Joe Montana of San Francisco, Boomer Esiason of Cincinnati, Bernie Kosar of Cleveland and Jim Everett of the Los Angeles Rams. Washington-based economist also said Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly was the only 1989 restricted free agent to get paid anywhere near what he was worth. The names surfaced when Glass-man explained during cross-examination that he didn't include those six players in calculating how much money restricted players lost in 1989 and 1990 under the league's Plan free agency system. 1 Glassman testified Monday that salaries for 1990 restricted players would have been an average 34.2 percent higher had there been competition from a league such as the USFL.

NFL attorney Frank Rothman spent about two hours Tuesday attacking the method Glassman used in his calculations. Rothman argued that the 34.2-percent figure would have been about 9 percentage points lower if the large salary increases received by Montana, Esiason, Kosar, Everett and Anderson had been included. Glassman agreed, but said it made sense to leave those players out because they received extraordinary pay increases, probably because their teams wanted to make them happy by paying them a better salary than they could have paid them. "They did get some of the benefits of free agency," Glassman said. The five players omitted from Glassman's calculations and the eight players suing the NFL were free agents in 1990, but were protected under Plan B.

The suing players argue that Plan unfairly blocks them from negotiating with other teams. Glassman said all of the 1990 restricted free agents, including the five superstars, probably would have been paid more on an open market than they were by their teams. "People who are subjected to the competitive bidding process always make more money than those who are not," Glassman said. "In general, restricted players are always damaged." Glassman, the final witness for the players, was expected to finish testifying today in the 4-week-old trial. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue is expected to be the first witness for the league when it starts its defense, probably today.

Plan which began in February 1989, allows each team to retain limited rights to 37 of its players each season. A protected player with no contract is unable to change teams without giving his old team the first chance to sign him or forcing his new club to compensate his former club if he goes elsewhere. The unprotected players become Plan free agents for two months, between Feb. 1 and April 1, after which their playing rights revert back to their original team. aVVvvNsK aVHAsKsJ aVVvvVsJvnJ PHESTONE Anti-Freczc and Coolant r.iooirjE Radiators 11 ALL-NEW" Water Pump Air Conditioner Compressor You Pay 4.47 Let Rabat ....1.50 As Low nit As Low As Clfl UP 220" Of UJ 24649 UP 5949 IF4 5 As After Rabat Applications for many U.S., import cars and It.

"I hate to lose Skip, because he had some great games for us," Orr said. "He's a great guy to have around, and I really like him. He was always positive. But he's got his mind made up." AMES (AP) Iowa State reserve guard Skip McCoy plans to transfer to another school. "I've talked to him a couple of times, and I don't think he's coming back," ISU basketball coach Johnny Orr said Monday.

"I haven't heard where he's going." ISU has released McCoy from his scholarship, Orr said. "I talked to him last week, and I told him not to make a crazy decision," Orr said. "He wanted more playing time. He didn't feel he'd have an opportunity to play more with Ron Bayless and Justus Thigpen coming back."

Starter Rusty Silcox (1-1) took the loss in just 1 23 innings of work. Silcox left in the second inning injured.

His throwing hand was hit on a ball smashed back to the box. X-rays indicated no facture, however. "It was a tough night," Champion said. "A big-time loss." Big indeed. Burlington pounded out 17 hits en route to accelerating from a 2-1 first-inning lead.

Eric Martinez, 4-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored, and Jer-maine Swinton each launched solo homers in the Astros' three-run third. Jose Davila, who followed Silcox, got hit the hardest among Waterloo hurlers. In 4 13 frames, he allowed eight runs on seven hits. The Diamonds will try again at 7 HAVOLINE Motor Oil Quart.
