Bosworth defended As athlete scholar i was paging through Ray copy of is dated Jan. 10,1987, when i came across this commentary in the sports Section. I think this article is the biggest piece of trash i be Ever read. Brian Bosworth is an accomplished athlete and a accomplished scholar. I can t believe you wasted space in your newspaper for the jealous name calling garbage Tim Boivin chose to write. The to led his team in tackles and was picked fourth far the Heisman trophy which is almost impossible for a defensive player to win. It also remark about How Many sports sections he made this year. Do you think he writes these segments those segment were written by your Peers who obviously know More about football than you do. You talk about him in the pros there Are a lot of other Loudmouth in the pros who get along just Fine look at Jim Mchahon. About the Mcaa americans have the right to say what s on their minds. You Laid about the Mcaa Mak ing it sincere Effort to clean up College Ball. If so How come if Yoa smoke pot you can play there was also an article a few weeks Back about the pro teams by former wide receiver who says there Are Only two or three teams in the nil who Don t use steroids. An they All still play. I think you Don t like the Boz because he s a big athlete with brains and you re a Little wimp without any. For someone who complains about How Many peo ple wrote sports sections on the Boz Why did you Tom Germany Tyson will be sole Champ do editor at 26-0, Mike Tyson has attained one goal on Bis Agenda.

And let us not forget this Man started his quest at the age of 1 9.two very distinguished accomplishments one being the youngest top contender in boxing history at 19.and the other becoming world Champion at the incredibly Young age of 20. Yes no other contender or Cham Pion in boxing history has such a credit. Frazier Ali Holmes. They also never had the Man skills Tyson possesses. Of. Lei us not forget Hagler or Leonard for they Loo could t even begin to be com pared to Tyson. Tyson will do what they had Only Hopes or dreams of doing.

Nines Isabel Barbeln Maln a Germany Caligiuri not the first do editor i refer to the sports Section of the Jan. 8, 1987, paper in which you described Paul Caligiuri As the first american soccer player to join a top ranked West German club. Caligiuri s contract is noteworthy. How Ever the Honor of being first belongs to Alexander Strehmel. Who is a rising Star in the Bunde Sliga club feb Stuttgart. dear editor. In reference to your article on Page 22 of the Jan. S Issue regarding Paul Caligiuri being the first american to play on a first league German team i m surprised hat you fell for the publicity gag considering that you reported the first american yourself namely Alexan Der Strehmel of vib Stuttgart. The gag lies in the German soccer federation s Rule limiting soccer teams to two foreign players. Hamburg evidently does not have two foreigners while Stuttgart does Predrag Pasic and Asgeir Sigu Visson. What happened was that Strehmel was offered the contracts u american bul had to take German citizenship to accept it there is a difference Between nationality and citizenship that lawyers have done a great Job of confusing but the fact remains that Paul Caligiuri is not the first american to play for a German team ale Strehmel is name with held by request editor s note Hamburg also has two foreigners on its first division club. Ca Giuri who was signed by Hamburg As an american citizen was assigned to the club s Amateur learn for this season and can Only join the first league team As a foreigner unless he. Too changes citizenship
