0 Still Rose-y Ex-'M' linebacker at home in pros By SUSAN BROSER Everything seems to be coming up roses for the Michigan Panthers, and one of those roses is a former Wolverine linebacker named Carlton. Picked up by the Panthers last mon- th, Carlton Rose saw his first playing team and feels that discipline and hard work can get him out on the field again. Rose says playing in the USFL is not much different than playing in college. "What it is, is a job," said the 6-0, 210- pounder. "We work six to seven hours a day in the Silverdome, just getting one day a week off. It's just like college ball, but it's nice - I have no classes to worry about." The presence of old Wolverine team- mates Anthony Carter, Paul Girgash and Andy Cannivino helped make Rose's transition from college to the new league a smooth one. "THEY ARE all level-headed guys and everyone is treated as an equal, whether you start or if you don't," said Rose. Although he feels comfortable with the Panthers, Rose admitted he is a lit- tle uneasy about his life's new fast pace. "I don't like all the travelling back and forth, going from east to west. he said. "We've been to New Orleans, San Francisco, Chicago and Colorado all really quick. It's a lot of rushing around and its a long season - 20 games or more" . Another hindrance to the linebacker's adjustment has been a shoulder injury suffered in college. Rose feels now, however, that he is in "pretty good" shape. He is looking forward to receiving more playing time and, not hesitating about being biased, he gives a strong evaluation of the 1984 Pan- thers. "I FEEL as though we have the best team in the league, both offensively and defensively," said the positive-thinking Panther. One of the leading tacklers on last year's Michigan team, he is also op- timistic about next year's Wolverines. "Michigan is ,going to have a good football team next year. It will be a good offensive year," Rose said. "Paul Jokisch should be strong and there will be good running backs. The only situation that may be tough is the quar- terback position, and there also may be problems with the outside linebackers, without Lyles and Hassel." The twenty-two year old may have hard work in store for him but the struggle may lead to something promising. Rose is starting his career in an increasingly popular league and playing for the best team inthat league. A broad smile appeared on his face when asked if he like playing with the Pan- thers. "Its always been a childhood dream. I wanted to play for any professional team," he replied without hesitation. "If I went for the NFL I would have been a late draft choice and its no big deal that I'm not with the NFL ... I'm just glad to be here." time as a pro last Sunday against the Arizona Wranglers. The Ft. Lauderdale native sat out on the bench most of the game, but made this debut on kick-off returns. The limited turf time came as a result of teammates Larry Bethea and John Corker being suspended for missing practice. EARLY SUNDAY morning, Rose received a telephone call from the coach Jim Stanley telling him to be dressed and ready to play, but it may be a while before the phone rings again, since Bethea and Corker were only suspended for one game. For now, Rose is back on the developmental I feel as though we have the best team in the league both offensively and~ deensively.' -Carlton Rose, on the Michigan Panthers i Daily Photo by JEFF SCHRIER Carlton Rose celebrates after last year's thrilling 16-13 win over Iowa.

NCAA,l colleges fight over pigsk WASHINGTON (UPI) - Two of the nation's biggest college football schools are trying to convince the Supreme Court to overturn the NCAA's multimillion dollar arrangement with the networks to televise Saturday af- ternoon football. a Lawyers for Oklahoma and Georgia, colleges with powerhouse football in1 profits I 5-4 a s Ferguson wins NCAAs By SCOTT McKINLAY with wire reports ,Michigan diver Kent Ferguson came from nowhere to'win the NCAA 3-meter diving championship last night. Going into the final dive just a half point separated Ferguson and Ohio State diver Mark Bradshaw. "(BRADSHAW) JUST didn't put his in," SHORT OR LONG Hairstyles for Men and Women DASCOLA STYLISTS Ferguson said. "I hit mine right on my head." The Wolverine junior's head gave him a total score of 560.85, 18 points bet- ter than Bradshaw. Bruce Kimball managed a seventh place finish for the Wolverines and Michigan sophomore Mike Gruber en- ded up sixteenth. FERGUSON, a Cedar Rapids, Iowa native said: "It just hasn't hit me yet, it feels great." Going in to the final set of dives, Ferguson let Bradshaw make the mistake. "I watched his and then just kicked back and went for it." Ferguson's performance has paced the Wolverines so far, as they lead the NCAAs with 23 points. "I sure hope it stays that way," Ferguson said. Ferguson was a seventh place finisher in last year's NCAAs and finished second in the Big Ten. He nor- mally stands in the shadow of Michigan's number one diver, Bruce Kimball, but Kimball struggled. He was eleventh going into the final round. "He really did a good job to finish where he did," Ferguson said of his teammate's performance. The last NCAA diving champion for Michigan was Ron Meriott in 1982. The 3-meter diving was the only event scheduled on the opening day of the meet, being held at Cleveland State University. teams, are scheduled to argue today that they should be free to ignore the National Collegiate Athletic Association and cut more profitable deals to televise games nationally. THEY ARGUE the NCAA is violating federal antitrust law because its TV package reduces the number of games available to viewers nationwide. A federal appeals court agreed and in- validated the NCAA arrangement. The NCAA claims its TV deals promote, not impede, competition. Its lawyers will ask the high court to con- tinue the broadcasting deal, which in 1983 involved $74.3 million in payments and audiences of up to 22.5 million for each game televised. The colleges have won the support o the federal government, which argues that the NCAA plan limits the number of games shown. SOLICITOR General Rex Lee will tell the justices that the NCAA's joint operating venture lessens opportunities for smaller schools' to appear on television and restricts the chances of major football schools to be seen "as frequently as consumer demand would dictate." Lawyers for the NCAA argued that plans with similar features have been in effect since 1951 and have not been challenged. "More than footballis at stake," the lawyers contend. Upsetting the NCAA arrangement could affect "almost every successful professional sport (that) has pooled and sold TV rights as a package to one or more networks," thiey argue. DESPITE THE colleges' challenge, the season's games were broadcast as" usual. Supreme Court Justice Byron White, a former All-America halfback, blocked the lower court ruling from going into effect until the. high court decides the case. A ruling is expect by' July. NCAA rules restrict member colleges to six appearances every two years; Each broadcast can net a school as much as $600,000, plus national publicity.
