MILLER Greg McMurtry does not want to become the next Bo Jackson. Jackson, who plays for both the Na- tional Football League's Los Angeles Raiders and Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals, is the first athlete in years to be under contract simultaneously to two professional sports teams. Mc- Murtry, a sophomore at the University, also stars in both football and baseball. But, he says, that won't always be the case. "I think I would much rather pick one sport and try to be the best I can," said McMurtry. "It's too much of a strain go- ing from one game to another." He will delay the straining decision of which sport to pursue until the end of his college career. Both professional football and baseball teams are interested in the 6- 3, 200-pounder. THE BOSTON RED SOX drafted the Brockton, Mass., native on the first round of the baseball draft last spring, but McMurtry turned down a six-figure contract. The Wolverines' center fielder last season, he hit .299 and knocked in the game-winning run in the Big Ten championship game. oth ways "He had an exceptional year considering he started playing in January," said Michigan baseball head coach Bud Mid- daugh. "We feel fortunate to have him." He also may go in the first round of the football draft. Last year, the Sporting News named McMurtry Freshman Re- ceiver of the Year. His combination of size, speed, and soft hands interests the football scouts. "McMurtry is a great first-round Na- tional Football league prospect," said Brockton high school coach Armand Columbo about McMurtry while Michi- gan recruited him. "He lacks no prerequi- See MCMURTRY, Page 10 Doily Photo by SCOTT IITUCHY Wide receiver Greg McMurtry celebrates a touchdown earlier this season against Notre Dame. p Ui THE SPORTING VIES By RICHARD EISEN "Paging Dry Eisen to the operat- ing room. Paging Dr. Eisen to the O.R." "Yes, nurse, what's the prob- lem?" "Doctor, it's that patient again, the National Hockey League. It's been in too many fights again and now it's fighting for respectability." "Yes, I see. It's gotten so bad that the patient has developed a tumor." "A TUMOR? Where?" "Right there, nurse. It's in the shape of Dave Brown. You know - Dave Brown?" "No." "Where have you been, in a plas- tic bubble? Dave Brown is a so- called 'defensemnan' for the Philadel- phia Flyers. Last week, he violently and maliciously crosschecked New York Ranger Tomas Sandstrom. Sandstrom, totally unexpectingthe cheap shot, had his neck viciously snapped back and had to leave the game on a stretcher. He hasn't played the same since. "The sad thing about all this is that Brown only received a 15-game suspension. If Brown had done this on the streets of New York, he would have been arrested for assault and battery and faced a possible prison sentence. Since he did it in a The NHL is sick, and the doctor is in Flyers uniform during an NHL game, he only received a 15-game suspension. The patient has con- tracted a very abnormal disease." "BUT DOCTOR, what does Brown have to say about all this?" "He claims he was doing his job, and the sad thing is that he's right. You see, nurse, Brown is a type of tumor that the NHL calls a n 'enforcer.' His job is solely to beat the brains out of anyone beating his own team. And the tumor is spread- ing. Nearly every NHL team now has an enforcer on its roster. "What healthy league these days has something called an enforcer? Does baseball have a special type of pitcher who comes into the game to solely bean somebody in the head? No. In order to stop the cancer from spreading, the patient must impose stricter punishments. The patient can be such a graceful and beautiful game if it weren't for this tumor." "Hurry, Doctor. The patient is in shock. Suggest something." "OK, scalpel! "First, penalize the coach, since it is he who sends the enforcer out on the ice to do the dirty work. Fine the coach 10 to 20 grand, depending on the seriousness of the penalty. Let the coach think about whether he wants to take his family to Disney- world during the offseason before he sends his goon out on the ice. "Second, suspend the player for three months and the entire playoffs without pay. The goon will have to sit and watch while his team goes through the most important part of its schedule. "Third, if this player commits the Michigan Daily SPORTS 763-0376 same crime again, he will be sus- pended for an entire year- without pay. "Last, if the player hasn't learned his lesson at this point, he deserves to be banished from the patient for life. "Sutures, nurse. The patient is cured for now." "Do you think it can survive the tumor, doctor?" "Only if it takes the prescribed medicine." Considering Abortion? Free Pregnancy Test Completely Confidential Pregnancy Counseling Center 529 N.

Though no scores were kept in the. seven- school, 10-event meet, e a c h Michigan team recorded five victories. Colloton's leadoff split of 1:06.1 in the 3 x 100 breaststroke race was less than a second away from the NCAA qualifying time. With Jennifer Eck and Candice Quinn swimming equally impressive times, the Michigan breaststrokers outdistanced the field by 10 seconds. "It was a fun meet," said women's coach Jim Richardson. "I think that the breaststrokers did an excellent job. Those were three good times for the first meet.
