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 Boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard is joined by Portland residents Cleotus Denson (left) and Lavern Turner (right) at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

A U T O P A IN T S A L E QUALITY PRICES i DOWN! 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. SPECIAL ON OUR “LIKE NEW AGAIN” FAMOUS PAINT JOB!
