He never played high school football, but is regarded as one of the.

Antoine was a star tight end for the Salukls until the 1971 season vhen he moved to offensive tackle. A rugged blocker, he is also a' possibility for the defensive line.

This appeared to be a device that permit the Austrians tq live up to their' earlier threat to withdraw their1 skiers if 'one were banned from the Winter Games and at the same time permit them to stay and compete. DR. HEINZ Pruckner, president of the Austrian Olympic Committee, and Dr.

Karl Heinz Klee, president 'Of the Austrian Ski Federation, said they would make a formal announcement today. They said' Schranz also would be there. Schranz was ordered banished from the Winter Games Monday by the International Olympic Committee because he has sold his name and picture to advertise ski equipment. The Austrians appealed the expulsion today but reported that the executive committee of the IOC had turned them do. The full IOC was still in session tonight but the Austrians held out no hope that it would reverse its own executive body.

Klee said' the decision to formally withdraw the 14 Alpine skiers and seven Nordic competi tors was unanimous among officials. But. he indicated there were some reservations among the athletes. "This is understandable," Klee said. "They all want to participate in the.

Olympic Games. But in the endi we all had the view that' we could not slay on these circumstances." Heini Messner, a top downhiller and good friend Schranz, told a reporter, "I am con vinced that Karl will da it ask us to stay on but I must stress I have not discussed this with him." Klee again called the ban of Schranz. "unjus tified and made valid, He said the trouble was all due "to the rigid mind ot one man" Avery Brundage, president of the IOC. 1 KLEE AND Pruefcner described In detail efforts they have made to get Brundage to change his 'mind about Schranz' professionalism. They said Japanese representative In the IOC, Tsun eyoshl'Takcda, also had tried to persuade Brun dagc.

1 "Under these circumstances," said Klee, "there was just one road left for us the road home." Pruckner said, "We hope that there will be a peaceful, ending after all that we return home on the same charter flight on which we came here," Their statements were taped for Australian television, to be broadcast in Austria at a later date. Pruckner was asked if he had any support from other ski federations during the fight to save Schranz. He indicated he had not, saying he had not counted on it and that he understood. While Austria waged its lbsing.battl.c over Schranz, it got a promise from the 1 ski federation "(FIS) to withhold the. customary recognition of the Winter Alpine World Championship and to schedule separate championships in Europe 'ater this winter.

In response to another question, Dr. Heinz Geroe, who is a member of the Olympic Committee, revealed that, during the IOC session here, Brundage read a telegram from Manfred Mautner millionaire' owner of a huge Austrian brewery, congratulating him btl Ws 'decision concerning Schranz. undermined our efforts here," Gerbe. said. Dr.

Rudolf. Nemetschkc, Austrian member." of the IOC, had raised the appeal' that Senranj expulsion be rescinded. Patulski; N.D. choice Greg Sampson, a 6 5, 24Mb. defensive tackle from Stanford, was taken by Houston.

Sampson played in relative obscurity but his speed and size made him a top pro prospect He has been timed in 4:8 for 40 yards, almost unheard of for a lineman. GREEN BAY took Willie Buchanon, a defensive back from San. Diego State. Buchanon, a 6 2, 179 lb. who was timed in 9.4 for the 100 as a track man, was so impressive as a collegian that opposing passers simply stopped throwing in his area.

He had three interceptions in one post season game and blocked, a field goal that was returned for a score in another. Ag a junior he allowed only 11 completions in 11 games, intercepting four passes and returning two for touchdowns. New Orleans selected Royce Smith, a 6 3, 251 lb. guard from Georgia, called by many the best offensive lineman in the nation. Smith, noted for his pulling ability, added extra weight last season to prepare himself for the pro game.

He still rates as an exceptionally fast lineman. The New York Jets chose Jerome Barkum, a 4, 213 lb. tight end wide receiver from Jackson State. Barkum, a cousin of Detroit's Len Barney, caught 36 passes for 616 yards last season as a tight end in the run orientated offense. His four year reception total 120, for 2,130 yards and 27 TDs.
