disdains said Monday he will make himself available for the supplemental draft The All America linebacker from Oklahoma said he preferred to play in either Los Angeles or New York He said the Los Angeles Raiders would be his top choice because of their rebel image like their he said He also said that than the 28 teams would probably get letters tell ing them not to choose him because he play for them a development not unprecedented in league history Bosworth passed up the regular draft April 28 which was his right because he had another year of eligibility reamin InrT of Alrl i Vtrswt Ukon ko VV VZIMUUVIHU TV 41X1L 41V UUUO VVU Wlast weekend however he became eli gible to play in the NL NL officials have not set a date for the next supplemental draft several of which are usually held between the regular draft and the start of the sea son It is for players who have become eligible to play in the NL for rea sons such as early graduation League spokesman Joe Browne said the most likely date would be early Jyne In the past the supplemental draft order was the same as the regular draft in which the top team gets the first pick and the Super Bowl winner the last Under the system adopted for use this year the names of each of the 28 teams will be drawn from a drum to determine the first pick It will be weighted so that 2 14 Tampa Bay will have 28 slips in the drum Indi anapolis 27 down to one for the Super Bowl champion Giants Houston which owns the 1988 first pick because of the trade for Jim Everett would have the most slips in the drum its own 21 and the nine But Wichard and Bosworth hinted that Houston would be one of the teams receiving a pick letter And while neither agent nor client was specific about others Bosworth made three choices clear when he was asked his reason for passing the regular draft the Indianapolis Colts Two the Buffalo Bills Three the Green Bay he said Those three 'would have been the first three in line to pick Bosworth In the regular draft since the Tampa Bay Bucs who had the first pick signed Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Vinny Testaverde The 6 foot 240 pound Bosworth was considered one of the top three players in the April 28 draft That was the problem he said Tuesday May 12 1987 3C destiny In addition to the Colts Bills and Packers he dismissed the rest of the teams with the top 10 picks in the draft because he said he wanted to play for a winning team or a team on the way up He also said he would prefer to play for a team that plays on natural turf He later said he would like to play for the Philadelphia Eacles who chose ninth because of coach Buddy Ryan He also said it might be to play with Testaverde in Tampa Bay As far as could be determined Bos preferences included the Rams Raiders Giants and Jets Bosworth and Wichard intimated at various times that they might look fa vorably on Miami San rancisco Pitts burgh Chicago and New Orleans Tennis Olympics to allow tennis pros ISTANBUL Turkey (AP) The International Olympic Com mittee gave final approval Mon day to allow professional tennis players to compete for medals in next Games The decision by applause at the 92nd session appears to open the door to tennis million aires Boris Becker and Martina Navratilova for the Seoul Games But the top ranked player Ivan Lendl appears to be out of Olympic hope Willi Daume the West German chair man of the IOC eligibility com mittee said Lendl could not play because he has refused ro repre sent his native Czechoslovakia in Davis Cup play The tennis rule is the final eli gibility guideline to be put in place for next Winter and Summer Games And it is by far the broadest move away from the old Olympic idea of amateur only competition Sixty four men and 32 women will compete in the tournament To be eligible they must suspend endorsem*nt contracts for the two weeks of the games plus up to two weeks before They also are barred from ac cepting money for their Olympic appearance or performance and must make themselves available for Davis Cup and ederation Cup matches The tennis eligibility is an ex periment for the Seoul Games only After that the IOC will evaluate the tournament and de cide if or how tennis will continue as an Olympic sport Tennis has not been a medal sport in the Games since 1924 It was an exhibition sport under se vere age restrictions on profes sionals in 1984 when
