We are having fewer and fewer lapses in concentration." Several players, including wide re ceiver Bill Roy Bryant and running back Norman Nunn, missed Tues day’s practice with muscle strains but Akers said none of the injuries were serious. “I hate it that they are missing such good fundamental work,” the coach said. “We won’t be able to get this kind of work later. But it is just that time of the practice when the strains start showing up.” Akers also said reserve offensive tackle Gilbert Esteves, a 295- pounder from Brownsville, had elected to drop out of school and re turn home “for personal reasons.” Meanwhile in Waco, Baylor start ing split end Bobby Joe Conrad has been listed as doubtful fo the Bears season opener Sept. 8 at Brigham Young, a team spokesman said Tuesday.

Krickstein survives U.S. Open threat United Press International f O <> O o o O 0 O O ♦ 0 n o o ♦ ♦ ♦ 3UU Dozen wmie ihey Uast!!! ▲ ^ -vA t NEW YORK — Aaron Krickstein, the latest boy wonder of tennis, had to resort to an old but dangerous tac tic Tuesday to survive his opening round match of the $2.5 million U.S. Open. Playing in the first two sets more like the inexperienced 17-year-old he is, Krickstein suddenly remem bered that he also happens to be the eighth seed and he recovered for a 3-6, 2-6, 7-6, 6-2, 4-0 victory over Bruce Manson. After dropping seven straight games, the 28-year-old Manson re tired in the fifth game of the final set with heat cramps. A year ago, when he was still an amateur and ranked 489th in the world, Krickstein went to a fifth set tie-breaker to defeat Stefan Edberg in the opening round, then fought back from a two-set deficit to upset Vitas Gerulaitis to reach the fourth round. “The good thing is that it is three out of five sets and I have time to hit and get some confidence back,” said Krickstein, who lost three consec utive matches coming into Flushing Meadow. “The three out of five sets favors the best player.” Krickstein, ranked 13th in the world, is the youngest man ever to break into the top 20, and he was given the honor of opening the championship on Center Court. “I found out I was playing the first match Sunday night,” he said. “I would rather have started some where else, like on a field court. I really didn’t want to be the first match of the tournament.” eliminated. Durie, who reichediii semifinals of the Open last ya made a series of errors inbowiny Australian Anne Minter, 2-6,7-j 4.

Olympic swimmei has winning spirit United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Swimmer Rick Carey, winner of three Olympic gold medals, Monday challenged students at a high school to strive for their best and to learn how good winning feels for themselves. Carey, with fellow swimmer Bruce Hayes and their coach, Don Gam- bril, spoke at a spirit assembly at Rockhurst High School, which has dominated the area’s high school sports scene. Rockhurst, an all-boys parochial school, won the 1983 Class 5A state championship in football. When asked how it felt to win and be the world’s best, Carey said it felt great. Another student ksked Carey about the reports of him sulking af ter winning the 200-meter back- stroke. “I pictured that race in my mind for four years,” said Carey, who also won the 100-meter backstroke and the 400-meter medley relay. “I was very proud to win. I was just disap pointed in my personal perfor mance.” Gambril reminded the students that the swimming events were not as greatly affected by the Eastern- bloc boycott as other events because the Soviets have never been domi nating in the water. “Rick Carey is the greatest back- stroker in the world,” Gambril said when asked about the Soviets. “If the Russians had shown up there’s abso lutely no doubt in my mind that the best backstroker would be Rick Carey.” Before taking questious, Cffi 1 spoke for a moment on pew® ance, saying there was notfc wrong with occasionally gettingik pressed and wanting to quit. “I always wanted to quit ukE things got rough,” he said, addfi that his parents always told “Tine, quit two weeks from todat Hayes, who won his gold medJ a participant on the 800-meter fa style relay team, said be felt®' mense pressure when learning® was going to be the anchor of tht® lay team.
