During that span, Allison scored five coals and four assists for nine points and impressed his teammates with his poise. "I'd say his biggest plus is his hockey sense," said New York defenseman Dave Maloney. "He's got a good sense for the game. He seems to know what to do with the puck and without the let them do that, you're going to be in trouble.

He does his therapy and he prays. He prays to God not for anything material, but for the strength to plav football. the game he loves again The St. Louis Cardinals' former kicker believes in his heart he'll play again. He's positive of that. He has the will. All he needs now is the - physical strength. Little was paralyzed from his neck down when he was brought into St. John's Mercy Hospital in St. Louis after the small car he was driving hit a road sign on the highway during a blinding rainstorm on Oct. 17. A tracheotomy had to do be done on him two days later to help his breathing. Since then, his condition has considerably improved and he has restored sensitivity eight Inches below his neck. He's still being kept in intensive care as a precaution, however. Little receives anywhere from 200 to 300 letters a day himself from Many of the letter writers tell him how hard they're praying for him to recover and all of them urge him not to give up hope. "The letters mean so much to him," Little's wife, Cindy, said from Creve Coeur, Mo., Monday morning before leaving for the hospital where she spends nine to 10 hours every day. "He wants to thank all the people for their love, their concern and their prayers," added his wife, a former pompom girl girl at the University of Arkansas where Little broke several national punting records and was hailed as possibly the greatest college kicker of all time. "One little boy from Missouri wrote and said he was a football player, too. He explained his team had lost a recent game only because it had given up. He told Steve not to give up because he didn't want him to lose." well-wisher-s. eight-year-o- ld season.

He was understandably depressed when the Cardinals let him go the day before he nearly was killed. Little and Neil O'Donoghue, cut loose earlier this season by Tampa Bay, had engaged in a "shootout," each engaging in field goal attempts starting from the line to see who would be retained and who would go. O'Donoghue wound up with the job and Little ended up with his walking papers. It amounted to a stiff kick In the pants and a rough blow to the ego for Little, who was the Cardinals' first draft choice three years ago and one of only four kickers in NFL history ever to be drafted in the first round. Some theorized he was so depressed over being let go by the Cardinals that it might have been a contributory factor in his auto smash-up- . "That wasn't the case at all," said his wife. "Steve wasn't depressed to any such point and he wasn't driving fast. It was pouring and there was so much water from the rain, it practically turned the car into a hydrofoil. He was on his way home when it happened. That's all behind him, though. The doctors say his condition is stabilizing. He can move his right arm well and his left arm is coming around. He's really trying. He still is in some pain but he's at peace with himself. He laughs easily about things and he's eating well. People have been absolutely wonderful to Steve. They know they're not allowed into his room at the hospital but some of them stand outside the door as if they're trying to give him whatever comfort they can through it. Many of the Cardinal players have come to see him. They are the most loving and most caring people Steve and I have ever seen." l 1 Fry said.

White, whose Fighting mini are 3 in the Big Ten and overall, said his team's failure to establish an effective running game is his "single biggest frustration." In all nine games, mini ball carriers have rushed for only 1,144 yards while their opponents have nearly doubled that figure. Mike Holmes will probably be out for the rest of the season because of recurring leg injuries, White said. In addition, Wayne Strader injured Ms neck and will be questionable against Ohio State.
