>e
NEW YORK (AP) — Wendy
urnbull of'Australia pulled off'one
f the biggest shockers of the U.S.
ipen Tennis Championships Mon-
ay night, ousting defending wom-
jn’s champion l iana Mandlikova 6-
,1-6,6-3.
The victory sends the 33-year-old
urnbull, the oldest player left in
re singles competition, into a quar-
Iirfinal man. hup against se\ enth-
B;eded Helena Sokova of Czechoslo-
Bikia.
“I guess when you’re over 30 peo-
Ilestart writing \ou oil,'' 1 urnljull,
| ho is playing in her 10th U.S.
pen, said. In 1977, she was run-
rup to Chris Evert Lloyd and has
en a semifinalist twice, the last
ne two years ago.
Earlier in the day, the two top
eels, Ivan Lendl and Martina Nav-
tilova, rolled into the quarterfinals
|uh straight-set victories.
Lendl, defending the title he won
last year, moved into high gear in
the second set as he eliminated loth-
seeded Brad Gilbert 7-5, 6-1,6-2.
Seeking her third U.S. Open
women’s singles crown in four years,
Navratilova crushed Argentina’s Ga-
briela Sabatini. the No. 11 seed, 6-4,
6-2.
In other men’s matches Monday,
No. 4 Stefan Edberg of Sweden
gained a quarterfinal berth by stop
ping Dan Goldie 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, while
Tim Wilkison eliminated Andrei
Chesnokov of the Soviet Union 6-0,
6-2, 6-3.
In the women’s singles. No. 5 Pam
Shriver, Navratilova’s doubles part
ner, also won in straight sets, down
ing No. 15 Kathy Jordan 6-4, 6-4.
The victory pits the close friends
against each other in Tuesday’s
quarterfinals.
“Martina’s always there when I’m
here,” Shriver said of the quarterfi
nals. “We just go together.”
All of the other women’s winners,
including Lloyd, a six-time winner of
America’s premier tennis event who
is seeded second this year, had to go
three sets to post victories.
Lloyd outlasted No. 14 Catarina
Lindqvist of Sweden 6-2, 2-6, 6-2;
No. 9 Manuela Maleeva of Bulgaria
nipped No. 6 Claudia Kohde-Kilsch
of West Germany 6-2, 2-6, 7-6; No. 3
Steffi Graf of West Germany de
feated Italy’s Raffaella Reggi 6-1, 3-
6, 6-0; No. 8 Bonnie Gadusek
stopped No. 13 Stephanie Rehe 7-6,
4-6, 6-2; and No. 7 Sukova of
Czechoslovakia downed No. 12 Zina
Garrison 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.
Besides the Navratilova-Sh river
and Turnbull-Sukova matchups.
other quarterfinals pairings send
Graf against Gadusek and Maleeva
against Lloyd.
It was the earliest a defending
women’s singles champion has been
ousted from the U.S. Open since Ju
lie Heldman upset Billie Jean King
in the third round in 1973.
Turnbull said that in the second
set “I started to feel kind of tired.
That’s the kind of player Hana is. I
let her have an inch and she took the
whole second set.”
But the third set was different as
Turnbull, who has never won a
Grand Slam singles title, kept up the
pressure by chipping and charging
at every opportunity.
“She was tightening up (in the
third set),” T urnbull said of her Cze
choslovak opponent. “I wasn’t tight
ening up. At least I was going for my
shots.”

Kansas city, mo. (ap) — Bo Jackson oi ii-
ally became a majoi leaguer Monday, saving
s“ecstatic” with his baseball progress and tired
talking about f ootball.
“Football is out of the question,” said the mus-
jlar outfielder, held out of Monday night’s
ame because of a pulled hamstring. Jackson
ocked most of the sports world this summer
ben he spurned a S7 million offer f rom the Na-
Mial Football League’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers
sign with the Royals, who gambled by picking
,uu \u the fourth round of baseball's draft in
jne.
■ He was the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft
liter rushing for more than 1,500 yards and win-
ling the Heisman Trophy in his senior year at
luburn.
I “I’m through with football forever. I don’t
■now why I have to keep being questioned about
lothall,’’ he said.
After a slow start, the right-handed hitter bat
ted .277 with seven home runs and 25 runs bat
ted in in 53 games at Class AA Memphis of the
Southern League. He was one of four minor
leaguers recalled by the Royals Monday when
major-league rosters could expand to 40 players.
He said he had no idea when he would be re
ach to play with the Royals.
“I’m not going out there until I’m 100 per
cent.” he said. “I do know that when I’m ready,
I 'll be playing somewhere.”
Royals interim Manager Mike Ferraro said he
would put Jackson into the lineup “as soon as he
tells me he’s ready.”
“Bo will know before anybody else, and I ll just
wait for him to tell me,” Ferraro said. “He might
play in the outfield some and we might put him at
designated hitter some. But he won’t be out there
until he feels he’s ready.”
After signing for a $200,000 bonus in June,
Jackson left many observers slack-jawed with the
towering home runs he hit in a week of batting
practice in Royals Stadium. He had only four hits
in his first 45 at-bats at Memphis, but batted .338
over the rest of the season.
“I think I can play this game,” he said Monday.
“I’m ecstatic with my progress. I went down there
to get in the swing of things, and by the end of
the season it felt like I came on pretty strong.”
He said he never felt frustrated with the weak
start.
“I always get off to a slow start. I did every year
in college,” Jackson, who also played baseball at
Auburn, said. “I knew it was going to take me a
while to gel going. All it took was patience. You
get up and see the ball. You take your hacks.
There were no surprises.”

spokesman said Monday.
Both Baker and Stensrud have
played for the Oilers for seven
years, said spokesman Chip Nam-
ias.
Also waived were running back
Stan Edwards, who saw action
with the Oilers for the past three
years, and defensive tackle Lynn
Madsin, who had played for two
seasons with the New Jersey Gen
erals of the USFL.
Cowboys cut
four players
IRVING (AP) — Max Zende-
jas, who had hoped to unseat vet
eran Rafael Septien as the Dallas
Cowboys’ kicker, was cut today, a
team spokesman said.
The Cowboys also placed line
backer Chris Duliban, a 12th-
round pick from the University
of Texas, on injured reserve, and
cut three other players, said
spokesman Doug Todd.
Duliban reinjured the shoulder
Saturday night during the Cow
boys’ 17-14 loss to the Houston
Oilers.
Also cut were linebacker Garth
Jax, an llth-round draft choice
from Florida State; defensive
lineman Kurt Ploeger, a 1985
sixth-round pick from Gustavus
Adolphus; and defensive lineman
Bob Otto, a free agent.
Defense leads Maryland past Pitt
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dan
Plocki kicked a 29-yard field goal
with 2:10 to play and Maryland rode
a dominating defense to a 10-7 col
lege football victory Monday night
over Pittsburgh, ruining the debut
of Pitt Coach Mike Gottfried.
Pitt drove to the Maryland 38 in
the final minute. But quarterback
John Congemi, who completed 23 of
45 passes for 258 yards, was
dropped for a nine-yard loss on a
third down-play and threw a fourth-
down incompletion to turn the ball
back over to the Terps.
The loss continued a string of
frustration for Gottfried, who also
failed to win in his first game in
three previous coaching assign
ments.
Congemi, contained for S'/z quar
ters by a big-play Maryland defense,
rifled a 32-yard scoring pass to Reg
gie Williams on a second-and-15
play with 5:12 to go to rally Pitt to a
7-7 tie.
Pitt had failed to score in the fit st
half despite p IS'/a-rminute edge in
time of possession, as junior kicker
Mark Brasco missed field goal at
tempts of 41,29 and 53 yards.
Tommy Neal, who had given
Maryland a 7-0 lead with a 1-yard
scoring dive midway through the
third quarter, had runs of 14 and
five yards, and Dan Henning hit
Ferrell Edmunds for 13 yards and
Azizuddin Abdur-Ra’oof for 15 to
set up Plocki’s winning kick.
Henning, playing his first game as
a college quarterback, hooked up
with Vernon Joines on a 24-yard
completion on a third-and-6 play to
the Pitt 1. Neal leaped into the end
zone two plays later, with 2:15 to
play in the third quarter.
A&M offense
(continued from page 6)
threat as well as a valuable pass re
ceiver.
Vick, touted as a preseason All-
America by Playboy at the fullback
spot, is confident he’ll find the gap
ing holes that often opened for him
last season.
“I feel very comfortable about the
guys up front,” Vick said.
In an offense geared to throw first
and run second, the Aggies will de
pend on senior Shea Walker at wide
receiver.
Walker’s philosophy is that any
good team has to expand on its of
fense, and the Aggies are no differ
ent.
“I think with the people returning
this year, we’ll (the offense) be better
than last year,” Walker said.
At the other flanker spot, Rod
Harris and Tony Thompson are ex
pected to provide the speed in the
multi-faceted offense.
A new wrinkle in the offense may
come with the emergence of tight
end Rod Bernstine. With a solid Cot
ton Bowl performance in his pocket,
Bernstine is looking forward to big
ger and better things.
“The Cotton Bowl game was a big
moral boost for me,” Bernstine said.
“And we’ve been throwing to the
tight end more.”
Sherrill said Scott Slater will han
dle the kickoff duty for the Aggies,
but was unsure whether freshman
Layne Talbot or Slater would do the
placekicking chores. Eric Franklin,
who has a stress fracture in his foot,
is uncertain at the moment.
Only time will tell if the Aggies
can return to the Cotton Bowl.
But the Aggies are in no hurry.
Tomorrow’s just another day at the
office.
A&M defense
(continued from page 6)
40-yard dash) will inherit the strong
safety position.
Terrance Brooks started at cor-
nerback last season until he dislo
cated his kneecap in the Baylor
game but he’s healthy again and will
play along with Jeff Holley and
James Flowers, Sherrill said.
Backup quarterback Craig Stump
has taken over the starting punter
job from Todd Tschantz because
Tschantz was unable to work out in
the spring due to a pulled ham
string, but is now healed.
Howard said the Aggies are confi
dent, but not overconfident.
“The coaches don’t let us get that
way,” he said.
“They still jump all over us like
they did when we first got to A&M.”
