January 4, 1984 THE BAXTER BULLETIN Page 9A USFL draft begins today By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) The United States Football League, having plucked a few veterans from National Football League rosters, gets the jump on its older rival Wednesday and Thursday in its second college draft. Last year, the USFL signed several high-caliber collegians, among them Kelvin Bryant, Trumaine Johnson, Craig James, Anthony Carter and David Greenwood plus underclassman Herschel Walker, the Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Georgia. It also found players who emerged as stars after unheralded college careers, such as Bobby Hebert, who led Michigan to the USFL title. The new league also has signed some big NFL names, including Brian Sipe, Cris Collinsworth, Joe Cribbs, Dan Ross, Doug Williams and perhaps Billy Sims, whose case is headed for court after having signed with both leagues. The NFL draft won't be conducted until May 1, by which time the USFL will be halfway through its second season.

After last season, the USFL expanded to 18 teams, adding six teams the Oklahoma Outlaws, Pittsburgh Maulers, San Antonio Gunslingers, Memphis Showboats, Jacksonville Bulls and Houston Gamblers. They will make draft selections at the end of each of the 19 rounds, and each team also will make a bonus pick at the beginning of each oddnumbered round. Their order selection at the end of each round, determined by lot on Tuesday, will be: Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, San Antonio, Memphis, Houston, Jacksonville. The order of selection for the 12 other teams, based on the inverse order of last year's standings, will be the Chicago Blitz, Washington Federals, New Jersey Generals, Denver Gold, Los Angeles Express, Oakland Invaders, Birmingham Stallions, New Orleans (formerly Boston) Breakers, Tampa Bay Bandits, Arizona Sports roundup- Bobcats advance Coach Jim Stafford's Flippin Bobcats whipped Scotland, 70-49 Monday in the first round of the North Arkansas Community College senior boys basketball tournament. Ahead 19-4 at the quarter and 40-17 at the half, Flippin was paced by Brett Franks with 16 points and Kelly Don Hurst with 15.

"The vacation layoff hurt us," Stafford said. The Bobcats were scheduled to play Mt. Judea at 10:30 this morning in the second round of competition. Cotter out Cotter overcame a 17-point deficit, pulling to with-in two before losing 52-45 to Barryville in the first round of the NACC tournament yesterday. The Warrior's comeback drive was thwarted when leading scorer Darren Moore with 13, fouled out with three minutes remaining.

Greg Pinkston scored 12 and Kenny Martin 11. The Warriors, who were tied at 11 with Barryville at the end of the first quarter, had a bad second quarter, and hit nine of 20 attempts from the line. "I'm real proud of the way we came back from 17 down," said Cotter coach Larry McNair. "The boys kept their Mountain Home junior teams swept three contests from Flippin Wranglers, Philadelphia Stars and Michigan Panthers. Chicago is first and Arizona 10th nal Wranglers, 4-14, going to Chitraded because after they last were, season, in the effect, origi- cago and the Blitz, 12-6, moving to Arizona.

Tampa Bay's first-round pick belongs to New Jersey by virtue of the Bandits', signing of running back Anderson, who had been the Generals' first pick last January. One of Houston's two first-round picks also belongs to the Generals because the Gamblers signed Sims, who last year was a New Jersey territorial player. That gives the Generals two first-round picks. They would have had three, but they surrendered their own when they signed Walker. In the draft, each team will have eight picks in the ruminates tourmaline minutes in the third-through -fifth rounds and three minutes in the remaining 14 rounds.

ager Ladd Herzeg said. Campbell, 42, joins the Oilers after a year with the Los Angeles Express of the United States Football League. He gained fame as a coach, however, as head of the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL, with whom he won five straight Grey Cup games, Canada's Super Bowl. In 1977, his first year at Edmonton and the only year he failed to win the Grey Cup, the Eskimos won the CFL's Western Division title. Campbell joins a team that went 2-14 in the 1983 NFLseason, matching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the worst record in the league.

Hall of famer dead CONWAY, Ark. (AP) Ivan Hampton Grove, one of the first inductees into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame and a landmark on the Hendrix College campus, died Monday. Grove, 89, spent his first 38 years at Hendrix as athletic director, coach and teacher, and the last 21 years in retirement. Funeral services are 2 p.m. tomorrow at First United Methodist Church.

Burial will be in Crestlawn Memorial Park. Living only a block from the Hendrix campus, Grove visited the school regularly after retirement to talk with friends and eat in the cafeteria. At Hendrix, Grove built a strong athletic program, then saw it wither when Hendrix was unwilling to follow the trend of subsidizing college athletics. Colbert: 'Golfers earned seeds' By BOB GREEN AP Golf Writer TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Jim Colbert eliminated Dave Eichelberger 8 and 7 in the first-round Tuesday, then defended the controversial format in the $1 million Seiko-Tucson Match Play Championship.

"I don't have a problem with it," said Colbert, a two-time winner last season and a member of the PGA Tour's Policy Board. "I like it once, but I wouldn't like a steady diet of it." The format for the first match play event on the U.S. schedule in more than a decade was criticized by many players, including J.C. Snead, Lon Hinkle, Bob Gilder and Tom Purtzer. Some top players who failed to get an exemption Hale Irwin and David Graham among them chose not to compete in the opening event of the golf season.

At issue was the fact that eight players leaders from last year's Grand Prix list got byes into the tournament's fifth round Saturday. Those players include Fuzzy Zoeller, Hal Sutton, Lanny Wadkins, Cal Peete, Gil Morgan, Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw a and Tom Watson. They're assured of $15,000 even if they lose their first match. "I feel like they earned their position," Colbert said. "Your golf clubs get you that exemption.

Nothing else. "Everybody else, including me, had a shot at getting one of those eight positions. We just didn't play good enough. It's not like it was a one-week thing.
