over the graduation rates of all 53 schools that entered
the tourney. 1 have a feeling Georgetown would do pretty
well in that competition, too.
Now that Thompson and his crew have brought the national
title back to Washington, I wonder if President
Reagan will invite them to the White House for a reception.
Don't be surprised if he does. It's an election year, you
know.
I could go on, but why beat a dead horse, or horses, as
in Houston, Kentucky, etc., etc.? The Hoyas already did
that and they did it with defense, not fists and elbows, as
so many writers for some reason (you can form your own
opinion of what it is) have suggested.
Instead, I'll go on to baseball, where the major league
season started this week. And. I'll he short and sweet in
giving my picks for the four division titles.
In the American League, look for the same two teams
to take their respective divisions again. Baltimore has the
best pitching,'adequate depth, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripkin
Jr., Dan Ford and a fine bunch of platoon players.
Detroit will chase the Orioles, as will Toronto and the
Yankees, but nobody will catch them.
In the West, the White Sox won by 20 games last year.
Somebody should be closer than that after 162 games this
year but you can take your pick as to which club it'll be.
Maybe the Angels have one more good year left from
*some of their high-paid vets, but, with their lack of pitching,
they'll probably need to score a dozen runs a game

highly stressful; it's tough on your mind and body: You
to class all morning an<f then- staft preparmg-fof
yourself to study. In addition to that, some nights you
have to attend film sessions.
"A lot of athletes' grades suffer simply because there
isn't enough time to socialize," Sauls explains. "It's very
easy to want to relax after such a long, tiring day."
While most student-athletes have a difficult time keeping
sports and academics in perspective, Sauls has learned
to thrive on the challenge of doing well in both.
"Having ambition is one of the major factors that has
contributed to my success," Sauls says. "Seeing the
pressures it takes to make it, I've really had to apply
myself to academics. But I think my being afraid of
failure is probably as strong (a factor)."
Sauls also points to Coach Hayes as a setting influence,
"fnarh Haves has definitely been a Dositive factor in mv
success," Sauls says. "Coach always stressed the importance
of academics. He always told us to take advantage
of the educational opportunities available to us. Also, if
you have a problem, you talk to him."
The subject of one discussion between Sauls and Hayes
was the possibility of Sauls playing pro football.
"There were some scouts that came around to talk with
me about playing pro ball," Sauls says. "I was really enthused
about the prospect of playing in the pros, but I

to beat out Chicago.
Over in the National League it's a totally different
story. Only the Mets are not given a fair shot at winning
the East, where I'll have to pick the Pirates. Their pitching
is the best right now. But if the Expos can get Steve
Rogers healthy, they could win it, though I'm still trying
to figure out what they gained by getting rid of A1 Oliver
and picking up Pete Rose.
Philadelphia also has a good shot if Charlie Hudson
continues to improve at the rate he did last season and
Meve Carlton has another good year lett in mm.
St. Louis could win, too, if David Green can^roduce
big numbers at first base.
But pitching will tell the story, as it will in the West,
where I have to pick the Dodgers over the Braves and
Padres. With Pascual Perez, who's still in jail, the Braves
could beat the Dodgers. The Padres could also win if
their pitchers can hand a lead to Rich Gossage in the late
innings. ,
Houston, San Francisco and even Cincinnati also have
better-than-average shots at the title. How about a sixway
tie in that division?
However the races pan out, the winner of the American
League championship series should win the World Series.
Pick the Orioles if you want a good shot at winning. But
if you're a gambling man, take the Chisox.
And for drama, imagine Jim Palmer and Tom Seaver
dueling it out in the final game of the League title series.

Still, the 6-1, 230-pound Sauls admits it's difficult to
walk away from the sport that has been so good to him.
"Every time I see a pro game, it eats me up," he says. "I
know that I could play in the USFL. Since the season
started, I don't watch as many games because I know I
won't evpr play football again."
Instead, Sauls will be off to Iowa State University in
the fall to pursue a master's degree in public administration.
"I've already been accepted and received a graduate
assistantship," Sauls says. "There's a possibility that I
might possibly pursue a joint program in law."
No matter where his travels in life take him, Sauls says
he'll always look back fondly on the 1983 football
season, when, as a captain, he helped mold the young
Rams into winners.
"Winning the Southern Division title in the CIAA was
the greatest thrill of my life," he says. "We took a lot of
abuse from our fans and students. Everyone wrote us off
before the season started. But we proved a lot to
everyone."
"It was such a growing experience," Sauls says.
"Everyone on the team had to do some soul-searching
after our 3-7 season in '82. The experience made us more
unified. We all made a commitment to improving
ourselves and giving 100 percent. The adversity we faced
is something we can draw from the rest of our lives."
