The two top seeds continued their march Thursday toward another ex pected showdown in the U.S. Open, winning their second-round matches with consummate ease, and then found themselves in the position of defending the quality of women’s tennis. Navratilova, with only two losses since January 1983, ran her current winning streak to 50 matches by beating Andrea Leand, 6-4, 6-2. Chris Evert Lloyd was even more convincing with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Terry Holladay. Following an opening round 6-0, 6-0 rout of Sharon Walsh, Evert Lloyd won the first four games against Holladay, giving her a string of 16 consecutive games in her bid for a seventh Open crown. Before they could bask in their victories, though, the two women were greeted with the news that Vi tas Gerulaitis had leveled another at tack against the women. “I think that 95 percent of the women can’t play and five percent can, while there are about 75 per cent of the men that can play and at least be competitive,” Gerulaitis said following his 6-1, 6-4, 6-0 trouncing of Italian Gianni Ocleppo in a sec ond round match. “I would put up my house right now that a number 100 (man) could beat Martina. Martina said a couple of years ago she could beat Harold Solomon. I’d put up two houses to see that.” In response, Navratilova said Ge rulaitis “could be sorry about that one. If I got to pick the surface, and I got to pick the right number 100 guy, I think I’d have a shot at it.” Evert Lloyd, though, agreed with Gerulaitis, saying she thought Nav ratilova would lose “to the top 1,000. There are so many college players not even ranked who could beat the top women, and even the men over 40 could beat us. I agree 100 percent with him. “My brother (23-year-old John Evert) beats me and he isn’t even ranked.” This latest round in the battle of the sexes spiced up another steamy afternoon at Flushing Meadow that was devoid of any major surprises. All the seeded men to play during the afternoon were successful, and there still hasn’t been a men’s seed eliminated. Ivan Lendl, the second seeded man, met Eddie Edwards at night. Yung's Miners cannot match- By TRAVIS TINGLE Assistant Sports Editor You’d think University of Texas El Paso Head Football Coach Bill Yung would be worried about his Miners’ first grid iron meeting with Texas A&M Saturday afternoon. But he’s not. Sure Yung’s has nightmares about putting his defense head-to-head with rifle-armed quarterback Kevin Murray and one of the Southwest Conference’s most talked about of fenses. And Yung’s not taking any great sighs of relief when he thinks about trying to run his offense against the likes of All-America defensive end candidate Ray Childress and the rest of the Aggie defenders. So what else could possibly add to Coach Yung’s problems — how about the weather conditions at Kyle Field? “We’ve been working out in weather that’s a lot cooler and drier than it is over there,” Yung said. “The humidity will definitely be a factor in the game, but if we execute properly and the players hold up in the heat, we’ve got a solid chance.” Even if it snoVvs in College Station, the Miners chances of spoiling A&M Head Coach Jackie Sherrill’s oppor tunity to record his first nome opener victory look remote. Yung, in his third season as head coach at UTEP, has only led the Miners to four victories in the past two seasons. In 1983, the Miners were 2-10 overall, losing close games to Western Athletic conference ri vals Hawaii, 25-24 and Idaho State, 12-10. The situation looks better for Yung in ’84 with six offensive start ers returning, including honorable mention All-WAC center Dave Toub and promising young quarterback Sammy Garza. Garza (6-1, 185, sophomore) com pleted 39 of 66 passes for 437 yards and four touchdowns before suffer- up with ing a shoulder injury during last year’s loss to Hawaii. Yung is counting on Garza to di rect the Miner offense against the Ags. “Sammy’s still unproven,” Yung said. “That half a season he missed didn’t seem to affect his enthusiasm. If he doesn’t get shell-shocked in front of that big crowd, he”ll be just fine.” Defensively, the Miners return five starters, led by linebackers Seth Joyner and Nikita Blair, who each have the potential to make the All- WAC team this season. UTEP will play a 5-2 defensive alignment against the Ags on Satur day. With live down lineman and only two linebackers, the Miners should have trouble covering A&M’s talented receiving corps: split ends Jimmy Teal and Shea Walker; flank ers Jeff Nelson and Greg Dillon; and tight ends Mark Lewis and Duncan Webb. The Miner secondary could be in store for a long Saturday afternoon, but Yung disagrees. He staunchly defends his defensive strategy. “I don’t think the alignment (5-2) has much to do with anything,” he said. “It’s the people you’ve got play ing it that make the difference. We play the 5-2 because it’s what our coaches know best.” “When your in the Western Ath letic conference, you’ve got to be able to go out one week and stop the wishbone and then the next week stop an all-out passing game. The 5- 2 helps us accomplish that.” So just how good are the Aggies offensively? Yung said the Ags won’t show the Miners anything they haven’t seen already. “They’ve got a fine passer in Mur ray, we know that for sure,” he said. “At times they’ll look like BYU to us with their passing attack and then with those running backs like Vick and Bernstine, they’ll give you a wishbone look.” A&M UTEP’s Bill Yung As it the Aggies’ offense punch isn't enough to think about, Yung must also look for a way to score against a tenacious Ag defense led by Childress. “(Ray) Childress is a great player,’ he said. “What else can you say? He’s proven he’s of Lombardi Award call- >er. He comes at you from everydi- rection, but we’re mostly concerned with catching our quarterbacks from behind.” Yung’s biggest problem trying to match-up with the Ags is all-around depth. “We don’t have any blue-chip players here like at A&M and Texas recruit year after year,” he said. “That means depth is always a never-ending problem on our team, We’ve only got (offensive) line that we can play, whereas at A&M you’ve probably got three with almost equal abilities.” NCAA studies eligibility United Press International WASHINGTON — The NCAA should severely modify its proposed eligibility standards for first-year athletes, a study released Thursday said. The report also pointed out that athletes and non-athletes graduate at approximately the same rate from NCAA Division I-A (large) schools. About 50 percent of the athletes who enrolled at those schools in 1977 graduated as compared to 55 per cent of the total student body. The analysis was made of fresh man scholarship athletes who en rolled in the fall of 1977 and 1982. According to the study by Ad vanced Technology, Inc., of Reston, Va., the application of standardized test criteria alone disqualifies a large percentage of black students who eventually graduate. Gwendolyn Norrell, professor and assistant director of the Michi gan State University Counseling Center, chairs the NCAA’s Special Committee on Academic Research. She said 5-1 -(j), as passed in 1983to take effect in 1986, was “not based on hard data, just a judgment call’ by the committee. “The survey ... was designed to analyze the academic potential of athletes ... by sex and race,” Norrell said. “It became apparent, however, that the analysis should spotlight black and white student-athletes since they are the most prominent participants in our athletics pro grams.
