LOS ANGELES — All-America
Pat Ewing scored 15 points and
grabbed seven rebounds Sun
day, helping No. 2 Georgetown
reach the Final Four and end
Dayton’s dream with a 61-49
victory in the NCAA West Re
gional championship game.
The Hoyas will meet third-
ranked Kentucky Saturday at
Seattle.
The Flyers scored the first
four points of the second half
before a Georgetown run of 15-
5 decided the outcome. Ewing
scored from down low and Mi
chael Jackson hit from the left
corner for a 34-28 Hoya advan
tage.
After Roosevelt Chapman
scored on a dunk off a steal. Bill
Martin answered for George
town with a basket following an
offensive rebound. Chapman
fhen hit two free throws before
Reggie Williams hit a jumper
for Georgetown.
Chapman managed to con
nect on only one of two foul
shots with 11:47 remaining and
Ewing then gave the Hoyas a
41-33 lead with a ferocious two-
hand jam and free throw. Ralph
Dalton’s tip-in and Williams’ 10-
footer upped the advantage to
45-33.
Michael Graham followed
with three consecutive dunks to
send the Hoyas to the Final
Four.
Jackson added 14 and Gra
ham and Williams had eight for
Georgetown. Young had 14 and
Chapman 13 for Dayton.
The smaller Flyers trailed
only 30-24 at halftime despite a
vise-like zone defense by the
Hoyas.
Dayton, looking for the vic
tory that would send Cinderella
to the ball known as the Final
Four, showed the patience of
Job by waiting for an opening.
The Flyers scored the game’s
first four points, then Jackson
hit two jumpers and Ewing con
nected on a turnaround move
for a 6-4 Georgetown lead. But
Dayton, which upset No. 8 Ok
lahoma and No. 15 Washington
to reach the regional final, went
on a 8-2 run for a 12-8 ad van-

Young, who at 6-foot-7 gave
up five inches to Ewing, put the
Flyers ahead 14-12 with 12:31

four points each by Ewing and
Jackson, rode a 12-2 surge for a
22-16 lead.

Owner Lonny Scasta
OTTAWA — Jayne Torvill
and Christopher Dean, having
moved back boundaries of a
sport they once considered
harsh and staid, shed tears and
said goodbye to an adoring
crowd.
The end of their brilliant ca
reer was storybook and, in the
opinion of the judges, as close
to perfection as figure skating
has been.
The British ice-dancing cou
ple earned a record 13 perfect
marks of 6.0 Saturday night to
win their fourth straight world
championship. They leave be
hind a sport which many skaters
believe is in dramatic transition
— largely because of Torvill
and Dean.
Ice dancing, once the most
staid discipline of the sport, be
came theatrical and athletic un
der the reign of Torvill and
Dean. How thoroughly the hi
erarchy of international skating
endorsed this change can be
seen in the astonishing inroads
the couple made to the notion
of “perfect performance.”
They completed their careers
with 136 perfect marks. They
had 13 of a possible 18 in their
free-skate hnal at the world
championships — one more
than their gold medal perfor
mance at the Sarajevo Winter
Games. At the world event
about 50 percent of their marks
were perfect, adding up to a to
tal of 63 6.0s.
“We’re very happy and re
lieved that we are at the end of a
long week,” Torvill said after
the crowd gave them a long
thundering ovation. “We’re a

little sad but excited about the
future as well.”
Torvill said the couple retires
fully aware of the impact they
have had. They would like to
see the sport continue to
change.
“I hope we have shown how
to be innovative within the rules
of a sport and alter it,” she said.
“That, we believe, is progress.
Now it’s time to go beyond
those boundaries. We often felt
that the rules were harsh but it
has been a satisfying challenge
to excel and to accomplish
things we believe within them.”
The championships were
probably also the final amateur
performance of Scott Hamilton
of the United States. He also
took his fourth world crown to
go along with Olympic gold
medal he won last month
Like the British team, he be
lieves the sport has become
more appealing to audiences.
“I wanted to broaden the
public. Figure skating was
geared towards an artistic
crowd in the U.S. when I
started, not an athletic crowd,”
said Hamilton. “I think I helped
increase the viewing audience
in the U.S. and increased figure
skating’s popularity. I hope fig
ure skating is better for any in
