I ast year, the Federals signed Gilliam to a one-year contract, and he played in four games, completing 40 of 102 passes for 673 yards, five touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Small Colleges And TV W ASHINGTON -- Tfce federal government has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that the NCAA's multimilliondollar college football television package is anti-competitive. The government's involvement in the case is seen as a shot in the arm for the College Football Association, which has filed suit against the NCAA and is attempting to wrest control of TV tights from the organization. Many feel that if the CFA wins this bat* * tie -- the Supreme Court is to reach a decision sometime this year ? it will mean the end of network television appearances b> virtually all small colleges.

ME AG's Berth Safe MISSION, Kan. -- The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference's automatic berth to the NCAA basketball tournament remains in effect, despite rumors to the contrary.

But the MEAC is on firm footing in basketball since league member Maryland-Eastern Shore, which does not ' play football, gives the conference a sixth basketball-playing school. The berth in ~ the NCAA tournament will be worth at least $9,000, $13,000 of which wotAkCgoto the MEAC office.

Fresh from the campus of the University of Virginia, the 7-foot-4-inch center was already being compared to legends such as Chamberlain and Jabbat. He was in sjx^cted, interv iewed ami analyzed by the hungry media, their ioutinel\ overused superlatives like "awesome" and "superstar" quickly giving way to the more grandiose "savior" and "messiah". The pressure to lead the prostrate Rockets, last year the worst team in the NBA, to victory, plus the constant media attention, would be a heady experience for the ordinary mortal. But this 23-year-old first-round draft pick, his fate sealed by ii^uir-year, $5 million contract, is not ordinary. And he is determined not to change. "Ever since I can remember, I've tried to be myself in every facet of my life, be it Ralph Sampson the basketball player or Ralph Sampson the private individual," he explains.' .
