White print to benefit victims of hurricane

XOOMLENS.COM A canvas print commemorating the retirement of defensive lineman Reggie White's Tennessee jersey number is on sale on the Internet.

Mustafa Saied, who is directing sales of the limited-edition print by artist Tim Cortes, said 100 percent of the sales money will go to victims of Hurricane Katrina. White's jersey number, 92, will be retired in a ceremony before UT's game with Ole Miss on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.

"The fact that the proceeds of this are headed there would have pleased him (White) greatly," said Carmen Tegano, UT associate athletics director for administration. "It is during crises such as Katrina that people like Reggie White are missed."

Two versions of the print are available. The basic print costs $299. A framed version with an autograph from head coach Johnny Majors is available for an additional $275.
