Page 10 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, September 26, 1990 Women's soccer unfazed by CMV by Eric Sklar Daily Sports Writer Although the Central Michigan women's soccer team remains some- what of a mystery to their Michigan counterparts, the Wolverines already know all they need. Their game against CMU should be an easy victory. Coach Phil Joyaux, in his first year at the Michigan helm, does not know what to expect from a CMU team that he has never seen before. However, despite not being able to specifically prepare for today's competition, he isn't worried. "I'd rather have us just go out there and play our own game," he said. "We should make them deal with us," "We only play them once a year, and we've beaten them the past few years," senior center forward Krista Towne said. "They're not major competition." Still, the team has been practicing several new techniques this week, focusing mainly on the halfback line. Earlier in the season, there was a lack of smooth move- ment between the halfbacks and the fullbacks, so the halfbacks have now been moved up. "(Moving the halfbacks up) gives the fullbacks more space, and also gives the forwards more support," Towne said. Several changes in the line-up have also been made. Senior Amy Stock was made the new stopper, and Jenny Steinhebel has been moved to center halfback. "The moves have worked out well," Towne said. "(Stock) has been more aggressive, which helps the defense out. Jenny distributes the ball well, and also has been getting a lot of shots on goal." Dallas trades Walsh for three draft picks Cowboys move disgruntled back-up quarterback to struggling New Orleans NEW YORK (AP) - Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Steve Walsh, who has been Troy Aikman's backup since both were drafted last year, was traded to the New Orleans Saints today for three draft picks, two of which may be first-round selections. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said his team will receive the Saints' No. 1 and No. 3 choices in 1991 and a No. 2 pick in 1992. Jones said the No. 2 pick could be upgraded to a No. 1 if Walsh performs well for the Saints. Walsh, who started five games last season when Aikman was injured, will compete for the starting job in New Orleans with John * Fourcade, who has been erratic in the Saints' first three games. In the first two weeks of the season, the Saints could not manage to score a touchdown, dropping both contests. But last week, New Orleans trounced the Phoenix Cardinals behind four offensive touchdowns, 28-7. The deal was concluded at NFL headquarters in New York City just prior to a meeting of the league's owners. Walsh, who led Miami to the national championship in 1987, completed 110-of-219 passes for 1,371 yards last season. He threw five touchdown passes and nine interceptions. University of Michigan fans can recall the September 17, 1988 game in which Walsh engineered three scoring drives in the final five minutes of the game to help the defending champions overcome a 30- 14 deficit and defeat the Wolverines 31-30. He connected on 24-of-45 passes for 335 yards in the game, including a string of 11 consecutive complete passes in the fourth quarter. For the Cowboys this season, Walsh was 4-of-9 for 40 yards. In addition to Fourcade, the Saints also have veteran Tommy Kramer on the roster at the quarterback position. AP Photo Editor meets Doughboy Ok. So what if the picture of the Pillsbury Doughboy has absolutely nothing to do with Griddes, sports, or even the University for that matter? But due to the fact that it is the Doughboy's 25th birthday, Daily Sports Editor Mike Gill made a special trip to Minneapolis to congratulate the big guy and meet the whole family. After filling out an honorable Griddes form in Mr. Pillsbury's name, Mike just had to find something out. To put the entire experience in his words, "I couldn't believe it! He really does giggle when you poke him in the tummy!" Turn in your picks at the Student Publications Building (420 Maynard) to try to win a $12 gift certificate to O'Sullivan's Eatery and Pub. 1.

He definitely went to the bank where he cashed his four million dolla. signing bonus. After that he probably drove home, locked all the doors, shut all the shades so no one could see, and then threw the four million into the air. Rolled in it on the floor. Rubbed his nose in it to see what it smelled like. Then he probably laughed until his stomach muscles hurt. Escalating salaries in professional basketball seemed to sneak up on the world sports community. Most felt that a million dollar show stopper was worth the price. Highlight headliners like Jordan, Bird and Ewing knew how to lead a team and were paid well for it. But then there was John Koncak of the Atlanta Hawks who couldn't lead the blind without falling over one of his left feet. Last year Koncak took advantage of his restricted free agency by pitting' the Pistons and the Hawks against each other in a bidding war. Both teams lost and Koncak won. A player who posts anemic numbers and marginal playing time, Koncak was not the cause of rising salaries in the NBA but one of the first to benefit from a changing league. Since the early 1980's when Julius Irving played leading man in the NBA, the sport's popularity has been on an ally-oop. Pro hoops discovered its niche in the athletic market, capitalizing on big names to bring in the big bucks. Since the good Doctor's day the prices for television rights have gone into orbit as has the marketing craze for NBA merchandise. Both of these are a major sources of revenue to the league. It just so happens that in this profession everybody loves the boss. NBA rules guarantee the players of the league 53 percent.of the gross revenue, something unheard of in the real world. Imagine making $110 dollars an hour in McDonalds. Flipping burgers just doesn't draw the crowds anymore. So, in many ways, to be competitive teams must pay the high salaries. If one team doesn't dole out its share of the 53 percent, some one else will. So what's with all the B-school talk? This is just a game, right? Obviously not. It is just as much of a money making machine as any other entertainment business. No one moans when Jack Nicholson makes five million on a film just for saying a few lines. No one complains when Michael Jackson collects millions from Pepsi for doing a couple little ads* And no one should complain when Hot Rod Williams gets paid five million to score a few points. Basketball players possess a rare skill that is in high demand, and they are paid accordingly. Hot Rod is another beneficiary of the system. Just like any other popular entertainer, if you're in demand there are dollars to be had. Without question, five million dollars is a hard number to swallow for most any task. Especially for Hot Rod. He's no Jordan (who makes $2.95 million a year) or Olajuwon ($4.06 million), but he's got what the market would bare. And the Cavaliers hope he will keep their market profitable. In the end it all comes down to winning. If the Cavs ever make it to the finals and win it all in front of audiences in 70 different countries, it may be! because they paid Williams to stay with the team. And when all the fans in Cleveland are celebrating the victory they won't be screaming about those five million dollars. Instead, they'll probably choose to call it something else. Money well spent.
