If they are, they need to raise their That would be Michigan State receiver Plaxico Burress, who at 6-5 can raise his hands higher than most. That kind of size would allow him to make an immediate impact. All young receivers need seasoning before they figure out the nuances of the pro game.

But as Moss displayed in Minnesota, a receiver with size can quickly adapt to intricate strategies such as: "Hey, you, go deep and jump." "You'll never lose the Crowton said. Burress has shortcomings in other areas, such as maturity, but the believe he will look very in the end zone. The only trouble is the Bears may have to move up in the draft to get him, and it would cost them their secondround pick to do it. If they end up "spending a first and second-round pick on Burress, he'd better grow up fast. The other playmaker to whom Crowton refers is a running back.

The Bears like Virginia's Thomas Jones, which doesn't necessarily mean they don't like Curtis Enis. "We need to have another back in the mix, because you never have enough backs," Crowton said. Those aren't the only offensive players the Bears have i in their draft "bullpen" for Saturday. Florida receiver Travis Taylor and Tennessee running back Jamal Lewis are there, too, in case the Bears don't get their first choices. There's only one defensive player in their thoughts New Mexico linebacker Brian Urlacher.

"We need more speed at linebacker," Hatley said. "We need more guys who make the plays to win games." Urlacher is versatile, having played safety and tight end at New Mexico. Maybe he could help inside the 20-yard line on both ends of the field. FROM PAGE B1 Christian affiliated with the IHSAA since the mid-1960s, has seen its time spent as a member as a positive one. "Being an IHSAA member over the years has definitely been a plus for us," said Dan Bodiker, longtime coach and athletic director for the Bruins.

"Being involved in the state tournament series in all our sports, I'm sure, has played a part in having some students attend our school. The involvement has helped the overall well-being of our athletic program and the competition we play." Colts capsule, 28th pick Last year (13-3): Enjoyed most successful year since 1968 NFL championship in Baltimore. QB Peyton Manning, WR Marvin Harrison and rookie RB Edgerrin James were Pro Bowl starters. Needs: Depth on defense, especially LB, where health of Cornelius Bennett is uncertain and Michael Barber was released. Deep threat at WR to complement Harrison.

Draft decade: Excellent last two years with Bill Polian as president. Top four picks in 1998 became starters, and Polian's decision to take James ahead of Ricky Williams paid off. LB Mike Peterson, second-round pick, also became a starter. Top picks have become starters as rookies the six years, including Marshall Faulk, Tarik Glenn, Harrison and Ellis Johnson. Injuries and personal problems in early part of decade with likes of Jeff George, Steve Emtman, Quentin Coryatt, Trev Alberts.

Additions: Used available money to re-sign TE Ken Dilger, Harrison and OT Adam Meadows to longterm contracts; QB Pete Gonzalez, DL Bernard Holsey. Subtractions: Barber; DL Tony McCoy expected to be released after June 1. Goals for 2000: Advancing in playoffs, where coach Jim Mora is 0-5 in 13 years as NFL head coach. Possible first-rounders: Sylvester Morris; Hovan and Engleberger. Lions look, 20th pick Last year (8-8): Made playoffs at .500, but lost at Washington.

Needs: RB, OL, DB. Draft decade: Discounting QB Andre Ware in 1990, Lions have done well with first-round picks. WR Herman Moore, DE Robert Porcher, WR Johnnie Morton, DT Luther Elliss, LB Reggie Brown. LB Chris Claiborne was rookie starter last season. Additions: RB James Stewart, CB Kurt Schulz, QBs Mike Tomczak and Steve Stenstrom.

Subtraction: QB Gus Frerotte and CB Mark Carrier. Goals for 2000: Win NFC Central and at least one playoff game. Possible first -rounders: RB J.R. Redmond, Arizona State; OL Stockar McDougle, Oklahoma; OL Todd Wade, Mississippi; Engelberger. Presently in Indiana, there are 36 private or parochial schools.

That group of 36 has produced two of the four class state champions in boys basketball and girls basketball as well as four of the five class state football champions. If the IHSAA vote goes the way of the Christian schools, each would still have a four -year waiting period from the time it applies before it would be admitted as a member. A simple majority of the 18 directors is needed for the by-law to pass. To reach Al Lesar: (219) 235-6318 Personal Foul on Your Love Life?

This is a low blow." Woodson said. Temple coach John Chaney, who is black and a longtime friend of Knight, said he never heard the Indiana coach use a racial slur. Carter said Knight "does not like educated. strong willed blacks. He is the kind of man who implies a man should not stand up and be a man; should not have an intelligent opinion." In the book.

Carter also said Knight violated the confidentiality of a former player, believed to be Quinn Buckner, by revealing intimate details during a locker room talk. Carter did not identify that player except to say the disclosure occurred when he was a freshman and the other player was a Milwaukee Bucks rookie. "I knew I was never going to trust this man with anything going on in my life. Not only was Knight clearly not a friend, he was a self-serving coward who masqueraded as a confidante." said Carter, who apparently fell out of favor when the coach learned he had used athletic department phones for more than $1.000 in long. distance calls.

Carter also said he didn't get a college coaching job because Knight discouraged the athletic director from hiring him. Former N.D. football captain Filley dies WINTER GARDEN, Former Notre Dame football captain Patrick J. Filley, a coach and an administrator Cornell University for 39 years, died Thursday morning after a long illness. He was 77.

Filley, a South Bend native, attended Notre Dame after starring in football and wrestling at Central High School. He won the Indiana state wrestling championship at 165 pounds in 1938 and 1939. Because the Fighting Irish had no wrestling team, the football coaches grabbed him and he played four years for Coach Frank Leahy on teams that lost a total of five games. He was a two-time captain of Notre Dame and was a consensus By STEVE HERMAN Associated Press Writer INDIANAPOLIS- Toronto Raptors coach Butch Carter depicts Bob Knight as a "self-serving coward" who maintains control through threats and once used a racial slur at a black player. Knight, who coached Carter more than 20 years ago at Indiana.

already is under investigation by the school for allegedly grabbing a player's throat during practice. Carter also said Knight hurt his coaching career by refusing to provide a recommendation. The remarks are in a book cowritten by brother Cris, a Minnesota Vikings receiver. Excerpts from "Born to Believe," which goes on sale May 1, were published in Friday's National Post of Toronto. A woman at Knight's office Friday said the coach was out of town.

According to Butch Carter, who was a team co-captain at Indiana in 1980, Knight stormed into the locker room after a practice and berated another player. He said he would end up like "all the rest of the n- in Chicago, including your brothers." "Knight felt he was at such a superior level that he could make a statement like that to a player in front of his teammates and he had no obligation to apologize to him or the rest of the black players. In ef- 'Knight felt he was at such a superior level that he could make a statement like that to a player in front of his teammates and he had no obligation to apologize to him or the rest of the black players. In effect he was also talking to his two captains. Both of us came from families with many Butch Carter he was also talking to his two captains.

Both of us came from families with many children." Carter did not identify the player Knight supposedly slurred, but there was speculation it was Isiah Thomas, who is from Chicago. Thomas, however, denied that happened. "I never heard coach use that word," Thomas said. Knight told The Herald Times of Bloomington, "Nobody has ever heard me use that word." The other Indiana captain was Mike Woodson, now an assistant coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers. "I'm a little shocked that it's in a All-America guard, playing both ways at 175 pounds, on the 1943 national championship team.

He had the honor of blocking for Heisman Trophy winner quarterback Angelo Bertelli. During the war years, Filley was in the V-12 Program at Notre Dame and went on active duty with the Marines after the '43 season. Because of arthritis in his knees, he received a medical discharge in less than a year, but he came back to lead the Irish in 1944 and is considered one of the finest linemen in Notre Dame history. Filley retired from Cornell in 1984.

Izzo will get raise COLLEGE Providence players plead innocent Michigan State officials have begun talks with basketball coach Tom Izzo on a new, more lucrative contract.

They hope to complete a deal within two or three weeks that would pay him more than the $900,500 he earned this year, the Lansing State Journal reported in a Friday story. The length and financial terms of the new contract have not been completed. the State Journal said. Minnesota subpoenaed The University of Minnesota has been subpoenaed to provide a federal grand jury with information about academic fraud in the men's basketball program and about details on former Gopher Bobby Jackson's academic eligibility and coursework.

At Cornell, Filley's frosh teams were undefeated in 1948 and 1949. He also assisted in wrestling under Cornell Hall of Famers Walter O'. Connell and Jimmy Miller.

In 1955, because his arthritic condition had worsened, Filley left coaching and began an administrative career that lasted 29 years. Filley is survived by his widow, Ruby, of Ithaca; daughters Anne of Ithaca, and Shawn of Winter Garden, and sons Michael of Trade, and Kevin of Orlando, Fla.
