By DOUGLAS B. LEVY
Forty thousand dollars-a-year plus is
a pretty good starting salary for any
1984 Michigan graduate with a BGS
(Bachelor of General Studies) degree.
"It's probably better than anything
else I could get," said Kerry Smith, 21,
who for the past four years has been
primarily a reserve tailback for Bo
Schembechler's Wolverine offense.
Smith signed a three-year free agent
contract last Wednesday at 5:00 a.m.
with the Dallas Cowboys of the National
Football League. Should Smith make
the Cowboy roster he would be guaran-
teed "slightly over the NFL minimum
salary," which is $40,000 per year.
"IT'LL BE TOUGH for sure," said
Smith in regards to earning a spot on
the Dallas team, which is one of the
NFL's premier organizations. "They
probably have no great needs for run-
ning backs, but maybe I can help in
another area." Smith was a key mem-
ber of Michigan's special teams, for
kickoffs and punts, during the last two
seasons.
In 1983 Smith earned a starting berth
in the Wolverine opener against
Washington State but quickly gave way
to Rick Rogers. On the season Smith
gained 517-yards on 98 carries and three
touchdowns. For his career he rushed
153 times for 946 yards, averaging 6.2-
yards a pop.
SMITH WAS NOT chosen in last
week's NFL draft which ended early
Wednesday morning. Cowboy scout
David Triplehorn waited with Smith un-
til the conclusion of the draft at which
point the contract was signed.
Later Wednesday morning Smith was
contacted by the New York Jets, Pit-

tsburgh Steelers and San Francisco
49ers who according to Smith offered
similar types of contracts.
The 6-1, 210-pound Smith will attenda
three-day mini-camp for free agents
and draft choices from May 16-19 in
Dallas.
