SAINT LEO, Fla. -- Former Tennessee
Suite star quarterback "Jefferson Street"
Joe Gilliam has been cut by the
Washington Federals of the United States
Loot ball 1 eague. It was another in a series
of disappointme 4V?r Gilliam, who once
graced thecovei ui sports Illustrated and
seemed headed for NFL. stardom with the
Pittsburgh Steelers.-A bout with heroin
ended his NFL career, however.
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.
But Gilliam proved expendable
when the Federals acquired another
black quarterback, Reggie Collier, who
played last year for the Birmingham
Stallions of the USFL.
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.

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.
No Closer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Black college
football rivals Bethune-Cookman
and Florida A&M are no closer to a
resumption of their series than they were
at this time last year, sources say.
Several weeks ago, it appeared there
had been a break in the stalemate, when
I AMU revealed on Coach Rudy Hubbard's
television show that a tentative
agreement had been reached to play the
game this year on Nov. 3.
But B-CC officials immediately denied

began to find his range, hitting a 20-foo
jumper on the Demons' first possession o
the half and a 17-foot jumper moment:
later. When Mickens cooled off, Olivei
got the hot hand, hitting two free throw:
and an outside jumper to boost th<
Demons' lead to 46-40.

that any agreement had been reached.
Later, the Wildcats announced that they
had offered FAMU a SI50,000 guarantee
to play the game in Tampa this year.
FAMU responded by blasting the
Wikiuat^r ^for~making. the negotiations
public.Insiders
say that if the series is resumed
this year, the first game would be played
in Tallahassee. If not, the series would
resume in 1985 with Tampa as the site.
The teams did not play in 1983 after failing
to agree on where to play.
Bethune-Cookman wanted the game
played in Tampa, as it had been for five
previous seasons, while FAMU wanted it
played elsewhere.
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.
The MEAC several months ago lost
its berth in the Division 1-AA football
playoffs after Florida A&M was declared

and then withdrew from the league.
l osing FAMU meant the MEAC was
one team shy of the minimum number of
football-playing schools the NCAA requires
for automatic participation in the
l-AA playoffs.
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

Sampson's challenge
^ Syndicated Column
Before he plased his first professional game as a
Houston Rocket, Ralph Sampson had already been
heralded as the world's greatest rookie basketball pla>er.
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.'
.
Ralph Sampson the basketball player may revolutionize
the position of center, using graceful, guard-like
dribbling and accurate outside shooting to create imaginative
plays all his own.
