Boxing promoter
Don King’s mail

Boxing promoter Don King
was in a New York courtroom
when jury selection began in his
trial for mail fraud.
King has pleaded not guilty to
charges o f filing a fraudulent in­
surance claim after a 1991 title

five years in prison and up to
$250,000 in fines on each o f the
nine counts. King served a prison
sentence in his youth in Cleveland

o ff 96 yards for the go-ahead touch­
down late in the third quarter Satur­

number 12 Oregon in Eugene.
Stanford (3-0-1, 1-0 Pac-10) is

Bowl last season.

score with 30 seconds left in the third
quarter to pul I the Ducks intoa 14-14
tie, but Evans gathered the ensuing
kickoff and Stanford had the lead
back in a 10-second span.
Mark Butterfield connected with
Andre Kirwan for a 28-yard score
with 5 :19 left in the game to give the
Cardinal a 28-14 bulge.
Butterfield was 12-of-22 for 186
yards and was not intercepted.
Oregon got a five-yard touch­
down pass from Tony Graziani to
Dameron Ricketts, who made a one-
handed catch, to pull within 28-21
with 2:58 left.
The Ducks recovered the ensu­
ing onside kick, but could not move
deep into Stanford territory, turning
the ball over on downs.
Graziani completed a 12-yard
pass to the Stanford 42, but was
sacked and threw three straight
incompletions as the Ducks turned
the ball over on downs.

SANDERS TO UNDERGO SURGERY
Two-sport star Deion Sanders
decided to undergo surgery on his
left ankle, ending his baseball season
so he can be 100 percent when his
NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys, plays
its biggest rival, the San Francisco
49ers.
With his San Francisco Giants
officially eliminated Sunday from
the National League wild-card chase,
Sanders elected to have the surgery
early next week. The move received
the support o f Giants management.
“ I truly appreciate the G iants’
willingness to allow me to have sur­
gery at this time,” said Sanders, who
signed a $35 million deal last week
with the Cowboys. “ I hope 1 can
return here next season, play healthy

URGENT, WINSLOW IN HALL OF FAME
Former all-time receptions lead­
er Steve Largent, once labeled “too
small and too slow,” is among the
most recent en inducted into the Pro
Football Hall o f Fame
San Diego tight end Kellen
Winslow, Tampa Bay defensive line­
man Lee Roy Selmon, Cleveland and
Green Bay defensive lineman Henry
Jordan and long-time executive Jim
Finks were also inducted.
Largent, who caught 8 19 passes
in 14 seasons w ith the Seattle
Seahawks before retiring in 1989,
was voted a Hall o f Famer in his first
year o f eligibility.
L argent, now an O klahom a
congressman,and Selmon are the first
players from the N FL ’s 1976 expan­
sion teams to be inducted into the
Hall o f Fame.
At the time o f his retirement,
Largent was the holder o f six league
receiving records — most receptions
( 8 19), most consecutive games with
a reception (177), most receiving
yardage (13,089), most touchdown
receptions (100), most seasons with
50 or more receptions (10) and most
seasons with 1,000 yards or more
catches (8).
“My story is a story o f mentors,
people who believed in me when I
did not believe in myself,” said
Largent. “My mother stopped me
from quitting football when I was a
sophomore in high school.
“ 1 was one o f those players as
you know who was labelled as too
small and too slow,” Largent said.
“But all o f my high school and
college coaches were always there to
push me and encourage me. When I
close my eyes, I can still hear their
whistles.”
Largent was a seven-time Pro
Bowl choice and missed just four
games due to injury in his first 13
seasons.
“ I would especially like to thank
quarterbacks Jim Zorn and Dave
Krieg for my years in Seattle,” said
Largent, who was presented by
Seahawks executive Gary Wright
W'inslow, whose career was
shortened by injury to nine seasons,
caught 541 passes, 45 for touch­
downs, and was All-Pro for three
straight years from 1980-82.
Winslow, who was presented by
former high school coach Cornelius
Perry, used the podium to encourage
African-American athletes to speak
out while they had the spotlight.
“ I encourage African-American
athletes to awaken and take the role
o f leaders, I encourage African-
American athletes to take responsi­
bility,” said Winslow, calling on cur­
rent stars Michael Jordan, Emmitt
Smith and Shaquille O ’Neal by name.
“There are not enough African-
American head coaches, neither are
there enough African-American of­
fensive or defensive coordinators or
African-Americans in front-office
positions.”
W inslow, a first-round draft
choice o f the Chargers in 1979, was
named to five Pro Bowls overall.
His performance in San Diego’s
41-38 overtime playoff win over the
Miami Dolphins after the 1981 sea­
son is regarded as one o f the best
ever.
Winslow caught 13 passes for
166 yards and a touchdown and also
blocked a potential game-winning
field goal with four seconds left to
force overtime.
