I really think in about five
years it'll be a very popular
sport around here."
Greenstone will not be on
scholarship at Tulane — it is
not among the very few col-
leges that give lacrosse
scholarships.
But Greenstone is happy to
face the challenge. "It's a
higher level," he says. "I
should enjoy it. It's going to
be tough but I'm looking for-
ward to it."
Aaron, son of Art and
Maryanne Greenstone, will
study history at Tulane and
plans to go to law school.
The 6-foot-3-inch
Greenstone, who also played
on the Jewish Community
Center basketball team,
resembles actor Tom Cruise.
While in Pittsburgh with the
Detroit JCC basektball
squad, two girls spotted
Greenstone and asked him for
an autograph, telling his
father they thought Aaron
was Cruise.
"I finally had to point out
Aaron is much taller than
Cruise," said the youth's
father.
Greenstone has no interest
in professional indoor
lacrosse, which includes the
Detroit Turbos team.
Greenstone plays indoor
lacrosse — which he calls
"box lacrosse" — in the
winter, but he says the sport
is inferior to outdoor lacrosse.
"I don't like box lacrosse
because there's no strategy at
all. You just run up and down
the thing and hit people. It's
just stupid."

hen the National
Football League
season began a year
ago, there were three Jewish
players in the starting
line-ups.
This year, there is only one:
Harris Barton, offensive right
guard for the Super Bowl
champion San Francsico
49ers.
Barton, a former All-
American at North Carolina
U. from Atlanta, was termed
"a future Pro Bowl-er" in at
least one pre-season
magazine for his fine work in
protecting 49er quarter-back
Joe Montana last season.
The other two 1989 starters
also were offensive linemen:
Alan Veingrad of the Green
Bay Packers and Brad
Edelman, a Pro-Bowl selec-
tion of the New Orleans
Saints.
Edelman's future is uncer-
tain. He tore the tendon in his
left bicep during pre-season
, practice, underwent surgery,
and was released by the
Saints at the final cut-down.
Because of his age (30),
physical problems and high
salary, Edelman probably will
be unclaimed until he can
demonstrate he is able to
play. He would then be free to
be re-signed by the Saints, or
any other team.
Unlike Edelman and Bar-
ton, Veingrad was not a
highly-rated All-American

State. The Miami native even
failed a couple of try-outs
before sticking with the Pack,
becoming a starter, and then
coming back from an elbow
operation to force the first
player taken in the 1988
draft, Michigan State's Tony
Mandarich, to sit on the
bench last season.
This year, Veingrad was a
training camp hold-out and
Mandarich was listed as the
starter against the Rams,
with Veingrad the reserve.
Don't bet against the deter-
mined Veingrad regaining his
starting spot.

athlete to make a final roster
was the Minnesota Vikings'
