Cash, a semifinalist at Wimble don, fought back from a 3-5 deficit and overcame two set points in the opening set, taking the tie-bredk from Holmes 7-5 on d net-cord. The 19-year-old Australian has yet to drop a set in four matches. Australian Wendy Turnbull, the No. 13 seed, easily defeated No. 8 Claudia Kohde of West Germany 6- 3, 6-1, and No. 14 Carling Bassett of Canada advanced with a 6-1, 6-1 rout of Petra Delhees Jauch of Swit zerland. Navratilova opened her Center Court match with a service break at love, and she was able to nurse that advantage through the set. In the second set she broke in the third game and made that stand. “With her it usually is tough,” Navratilova said of Potter, “but I never felt threatened on my serve. I’m glad I had a chance to play a tough serve-and-volleyer like her.” Evert Lloyd, who had dropped only one set in eight previous meet ings with Gadusek, appeared in deep trouble when she dropped her first three games. The second seed came back to win the next four games but then dou ble-faulted twice in the eighth game to allow Gadusek to break back to 4- 4. From that point, though, Evert Lloyd was in total control, sweeping the last eight games. “I thought that I played poorly the first three games,” she said. “This is what I needed. I needed to play a baseliner. She took me by sur prise. She started out consistent and I made a lot of mistakes the first three games. “Against a better player I would have been in more trouble. I knew against Bonnie that as soon as I found my rhythm I’d come back.” have until Friday m2- ork for jsinessi all 2611 lay.

Seahawks shutout punchless Browns ; the n adsi lassifie^ ;-26U I United Press International Most NFL clubs have never played a regular-season game on Monday afternoon. The Cleveland Browns still haven’t. Dave Krieg, who quarterbacked Seattle to its initial playoff appear ance last season, threw three touch down passes Monday in the King- dome. This was enough to spark the Seahawks to a 33-0 rout of Cleveland in a season-opener, handing the Browns their first shutout since 1977. " The game was switched from its original Sunday date to 4 p.m. PDT Monday because of a scheduling conflict with the Seattle Mariners. |The decision may have been costly for Seattle, however. Running back Curt Warner, who led the AFC in rushing last year as a rookie, was helped off the field in the second quarter with an injured right knee and surgery may be needed. Krieg fired scoring pbsses of 5 yards to Mike Tice in the first quar ter, 7 yards to Paul Johns in the sec ond period and 34 yards to rookie Daryl Turner in the third quarter. Seattle’s opportunistic defense and special teams were equally responsi ble for giving the Seahawks their first victory in a season-opener in the club’s history. Just as they did all last season, the Seahawks took advantage of numer ous turnovers and sacks. Cleveland lost three fumbles, was intercepted twice and suffered seven sacks. Cleveland quarterback Paul Mc Donald, who inherited the starting position after Brian Sipe’s defection to the USFL, was just 8-of-27 for 114 yards before he was replaced in the final quarter by Tom Flick. Krieg connected on 14-of-28 passes for 179 yards and the three touchdowns before giving way to Jim Zorn in the scoreless final pe riod. Norm Johnson added field goals of 22, 50, 41 and 24 yards to account for the rest of Seattle’s scoring. In a Monday night game, Dallas was at the Los Angeles Rams in a re match of an NFC playoff game last year. New Orleans 28; Kansas City 37, Pittsburgh 27; New England 21, Buffalo 17; the New York Giants 28, Philadelphia 27; Green Bay 24, St. Louis 23; San Diego 42,Minnesota 13; San Francisco 30, Detroit 27; Chicago 34, Tampa Bay 14; Denver 20, Cincinnati 17; the New York Jets 23, Indianapolis 14; and Miami 35, Washington 17. Dan Marino, showing no effects from a pre-season finger injury, passed for 311 yards and five touch downs to pace Miami’s triumph over Washington. The second-year quar terback hit 21-of-28 passes, includ ing TD throws of 26 and 74 yards to Mark Duper, who caught six passes for 178 yards. Miami snapped Wash ington’s nine-game winning streak at home and became the only visiting team other than Dallas to win at RFK in the past 22 games. Dan Fouts threw two TD passes to Wes Chandler and Pete Johnson scored on two short runs to power San Diego to a win. Fouts, hampered last year with a strained rotator cuff, showed no ill—effects as he hit 21- of-28 passes for 292 yards, including TDs of 20 and 17 yards to Chandler. It was the second worst defeat in the Vikings’ history and spoiled coach Les Steckel’s debut, ironically on “Bud Grant Day” in which the 17- year former coach was honored. Gerald Riggs, making his first pro start, ran for a team-record 202 yards and two TDs in an Atlanta vic tory. Steve Bartkowski threw TD passes of 50 and 5 yards. Ex-New York Jet Richard Todd, making his first start for New Orleans, hit 16-of- 32 passes for 186 yards, but was sacked five times and threw three in terceptions. George Rogers had 102 yards, including TD runs of 4 and 3 yards, to become the Saints’ all-time leading rusher, passing Chuck Mun- cie. Phil Simms threw for 409 yards and four TDs to carry the Giants over Philadelphia. Simms suffered a separated shoulder late in the ’81 season, missed 1982 with a knee in jury and fractured his right thrumb On Sunday, it was the Los Angeles last year after losing his starting job Raiders 24, Houston 14; Atlanta 36, to Scott Brunner. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★-A- JPHI KAPPA SIGMA J J Due to Silver Taps the j * Brothers of Phi Kappa * J Sigma have moved their * 4 WANNA COMB TO * J TIJUANA Rush Party to J 4.
