lr tl, i i 1' 'u tf4 II SPORTS TELEGUAP1I-F0RUM AFC Defensive Player of the Year Gastineau earns another Friday, December 28, 1384 EUCYKU3 (OHIO) TELEGRAPH-FORUM Page Elevea 'Hi 1 Ml pi I I a-- 4 01' rtf m- I defensive player. It is just a great award and I cant put my feelings in words. Gastineaus, performance this season was hard to put in words also. He recorded exactly half of the total sacks amassed by the Jets. Linebacker Lance Mehl had the next most on the team with five and Barry Bennett the next most for a lineman with four.

The 22 sacks also was tops for one season by the 28-yearold. His feats were more remarkable considering he missed a great deal of practice time during pre-season Gastineau picked up 24 of 56 NFL1 writers votes to outdistance Seattle Seahawk defensive back Kenny Easley, who received 16 votes, and the Los Angeles Raiders Howie Long, seven votes, and Mike Haynes, five. Raiders linebacker Rod Martin won the award last year. It is a great honor to be named Defensive Player of the Year, by United Press International, Gastineau said. Afterall, only one person gets that award.

It is nice to know people around the nation recognize you as the most valuable and early in the year when he and teammate Ken OBrien stood trial for assaulting a man, who had allegedly defeated him in arm wrestling at the disco Studio 54. Gastineau was found guilty and sentenced to work with inmates at a New York prison. Defepsve line coach. Ray who took time to practice with him, is unabashed in his praise for his prized pupil. Hes the greatest football player Ive ever seen, said Callahan.

Ive never seen one who has done or who can do the things he does Gastineau still responded despite being the No. 1 priority of offensive coordinator! preparing for the Jets. The once proud Sack Exchange was reduced to Gastineau. And the 28-year-old became the target of double and sometimes even triple teaming. He was the fourth leading tackier on the team with 88, 69 of those solo.

The numbers showed an improvement against the run, but quite simply, No. 99 receives his accolades for making quarterbacks lives miserable. The first player ever selected out By JOEL SHERMAN UPI Sporti Writer The NFL committee eliminated his dance, hut that didnt halt his sacks. In 1984' post-play celebrations i were forbidden, but New York Jet defensive end Mark Gastineau prov-, ed he didnt need his famous shimmy to walk all over quarterbacks. He waltzed into offensive backfields to record an NFL high 22 sacks.

For his unequalled ability to get to the quarterback and his improved play against the run, the six-year pro was Thursday named UPIs AFC Defensive Player of the Year. of East Central (Okla.) seems built for quarterback destruction. Even for someone who is 6-foot-5, 289 pounds, Gastineau is extremely strong. But it is his running back-like 4.59 speed in the 40-yard dash that makes him hell for offensive tackles. And4f offensive coordinators think their lives were miserable this season, Gastineau has a warning for; the future.

I want to get the man! who has recorded 80 sacks in 89 games said. Im just a ij want to be team leader and help the New York Jets to a Super 'V Cowboys set to meet USC in Gator Bowl By DAVID MOFFIT UPI Sports Writer JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI) -South Carolina and Oklahoma State have a similar goal for tonights Gator Bowl game boost their national ranking. The Gamecocks, 10-1, are No. 7 after posting their best-ever record and the Cowboys, 9-2, are No.

9. Both had hoped to be in the Orange Bowl, but the Gamecocks were relegated to the Gator Bowl after being upset by Navy. The Cowboys are in Jacksonville instead of Miami 1 because they lost to No. 2 Oklahoma in their closing regular-season game. Id be lying if I said we werent disappointed about not winning the (Big 8) conference and going to the Orange Bowl, said Oklahoma State quarterback Rjsty Hilger.

But playing football, you have to have a short memory. You have to forget the past and get on to the next ball game. The Cowboys, who were eighth nationally on defense, are a three-point favorite for the contest which begins tfC :1 I I 7 f-t T'S J'sik, Jordan's 45 points paces Bulfi ifii. MllVUO Oklahoma State, which beat Baylor 24-14, in last years Bluebonnet Bowl, is 6-2 in previous postseason play. South Carolina, making its third Gator Bowl appearance, is 0-5 in bowl action.

Thats going tc make us play even harder, said James Sea wright, South Carolinas second-team All America linebacker. We seniors want to make history, to be the first South Carolina team to win a bowl game and go out with an 11-1 record. Morrison predicted a lowscoring game tonight. Jones wasnt so sure. Well be defensing the veer for only the second time this season, said Jones.

South Carolinas strong point is that it knows what to do with its offense. They dont make many mistakes. We took a couple of weeks off before coming down here on the (Dec.) 20th and getting back to work, said Morrison. We dont know if the layoff hurt. Well have to wait and see if we took the right approach to preparing for this game.

I dont think Pat has had any more trouble getting his players ready for this game than we have. No matter the circumstances surrounding how we got here, we both worked hard to get this far and we both would like the momemtum for next season that winning a bowll game Mould givC us Jfnioy li nr.

562-7836 at 8 p.m. EST. A crowd of 80,000 is expected for this national televised game. "I honestly dont believe that disappointment is going to affect how either team plays," said Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones. I dont believe it will diminish the attitude of either team at all.

The Cowboys feature a tailback oriented offense that alternates freshman Thurman Thomas, senior Shawn Jones and sophomore Charles Crawford plus the passing of Hilger. South Carolina, expected to alternate Mike Hold and Allen Mitchell at quarterback, will use numerous running backs with its option offense. Jones and South Carolina coach Joe Morrison said the similarity between theteams offers a prospect for one of the better of this years postseason games. Both clubs have quickness and speed a real treat for the fans," said Morrison. I feel their defense is their strong point, but I dont know if either team has an advantage.

we should have held for one shot. We did not, they scored and we were behind. Bulls coach Kevin Loiighery was diplomatic after the game as Geveland sank to S-21, worst in the NBA. Geveland is a fine team. They have been winning (four of their last five) and they are missing a fine player in Roy Hinson.

Firees five three-pointers out of eight attempts set records for attempts and three-point goals. Jordan said the game was important because it showed the Bulls werent flat after a Christinas layoff. The Bulls rookie star said he wasnt aware that he was approaching his season-high total and was within striking distance of the Bullss single game record of 56 held by Chet Walker. Jordan socred his last points with about four minutes left. I know when Im scoring a lot of points, but I dont know what the numbers are, he said.

The Bulls built up their biggest lead in the fourth period at 107-94 when Orlando Woolridge scored a 15-foot jumper with 3:38 remaining. Woolridges basket with 1:18 left gave Chicago a 111-100 lead. Then the Cavaliers struck as Free scored two consecutive three-point field goals and Ben Poquette scored on a layup with 14 seconds remaining to cut Chicagos lead to 111-108. fees Phone Buckeye Centrals Jenny Kaple (31) is stuck in action in Thursday nights game.

CHICAGO (UPI) World B. Free did everything he could to stop the Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan Thursday night, including setting a Chicago Stadium record for three-point field goals and leading his team in scoring, but it wasnt enough. Free ended with 30 points but Jordan tied his season high mark of 45 to lead the Bulls to a 112-108 win over the Geveland Cavaliers. Free, who has been nursing a groin pull, thought the Cavaliers put up a good fight but got overmatched by the Bulls and Jordan. Hes in a class of his own, hes go-ing to be great and hes got a lot of years to go," Free said.

Jordan and Free were supposed to guard each other but there may not have been much individual defense since each man lead his team in scoring. playing Free on me makes him a better player, Jordan said. Cavaliers coach George Karl saw the game slip out of reach at the end of the third period. The Cavaliers had pulled to within one, 89-79, with 1:32 remaining in the quarter when Quintin Dailey scored and Jordan scored and was fouled. Jordan made the three throw and when the Bulls scored the first four points in the fourth period, the game was out of reach.
