U.S. Open
2nd round
complete
United Press International
NEW YORK — The better they
play, and the bigger their victories,
the more Martina Navratilova and
Chris Evert Lloyd are forced to de
fend themselves.
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
