ORLANDO, Fla. ? Horace
Grant, his initial contract with Orlando
struck down by the NBA,
signed with the Magic for five years
in a deal already approved by the
league.
Grant signed the contract a
week after a federal judge ruled
Orlando's first offer could violate
the NBA salary cap.
Grant, a 6-foot-10 forward,
played seven years with the Chicago
Bulls and helped them win three

NEW YORK?Negotiations between
the NHL and its players on
a new collective bargaining agreement
were scheduled to resume today,
with commissioner Gary
Bettman expected to respond to
the players' tax plan proposal.
The proposal, which players say
would subsidize small-market
teams, is similiar to one suggested
by baseball players. That plan
was rejected by baseball's owners,
and the owners canceled the rest
of the season.
BUFFALO, N.Y. ? Buffalo goalie
Dominik Hasek left the Sabres'
training camp after refusing to accept
a three-year contract worth
between $1 million and $2 million
per year.
Hasek, who led the NHL last
season with a 1.95 goals against
average and a 93.0 save percentage,
will not attend any further
practices or games until there is
progress in negotiations with the
club.

Scott not ready
NANCY SALOMONSKY Staff Writer j||
As the Gamecocks prepare for their first road trip ?
af the 1994 season, head football coach, Brad Scott,
considers the University of Kentucky a even matchup
and a test for USC.
"The thing that concerns me most about Kentucky,

Scott said. That is extremely wrong. In fact, it is just

Kentucky head coach Bill Curry said the Wildcats j|

"We have no simple answer (to the losses) and I I

Steve Taneyhill will continue as the starting quarterback
for the USC offense but, Coach Scott said ht
will play Blake Williamson as his skill are needed,
Taneyhill said of Williamson, 1 believe he shoulc

Tailback Brandon Bennett rushed for 132 yards
and two touchdowns in the game against Kentucky a
year ago. The All-SEC running back candidate went
over the 100-yard rushing mark for the ninth time in
his career with 114-yards against Louisiana Tech last
weekend. Bennett leads the Gamecock ground attack,
averaging 93 yards per game, fifth best in the SEC.
Senior defensive end Stacy Evans, the SEC Defensive
Player of the Week for his performance against
Arkansas, continued his attack on the opposing offenses.
On the season, Evans has 16 tackles, three
quarterback sacks, one blocked kick and one fumble
recovery. He will be one of the players to watch in Saturday's
