INCREPIBIY IONJS FGOrB&U.GGME oM TMG £-R5T NE(AJ3 UPDATE NFL suspends Wilson NEW YORK (AP) — Chicago Bears linebacker Otis Wilson was suspended for one game without pay “as a result of his flagrant fore arm blow to the jaw” of Pittsburgh wide receiver Louis Lipps last Sun day, NFL Commissioner Pete Ro- zelle announced Tuesday. Rozelle, who earlier Tuesday upheld the two-game suspension of Green Bay nose tackle Charles Mar tin for his body slam of Chicago quarterback Jim McMahon two weeks ago, said the game Wilson must sit out will be Dec. 7 against Tampa Bay. If Wilson decides to ap peal, Rozelle said he will arrange a hearing promptly after receiving written notification. Bears spokesman Jim Carr said Wilson learned of the suspension Tuesday afternoon and hadn’t in formed the club whether he would appeal. “Specifically, the (videotape) re view revealed that Lipps, after being in motion and following a handoff to a Pittsburgh running back, turned and headed toward Wilson as a po tential blocker,” Rozelle’s statement read. “Wilson cocked his left arm and delivered a forearm blow to Lipps’ jaw, knocking him down, ft was the initial contact between the two players.” Lipps suffered a concussion and was forced to leave the game. The statement said “though Wil son’s action went undetected by the game officials and no penalty was as sessed, there is no justification for this type of dangerous action in the NFL.” Wilson said Monday that he felt there was nothing wrong with his hit. “What 1 saw was legal," Wilson said after viewing footage of the play. “He came out to block me and I happened to catch him under the chin because he ducked. If he hadn’t ducked, I’d have caught him on the chest." Both Wilson and Bears’ Coach Mike Ditka were furious over com ments by NBC^ announcer Charlie Jones, who was broadcasting the game. When the incident occurred, Jones asked for a replay and then said, “Oh, no, come on, what is hap pening in the National Football League? After what happened last week, he (Wilson) ought to be thrown out of the ballgame ... imme diately.” Jones was referring to Martin’s late hit on McMahon. “I’m going to talk to my attorney and have him write them a letter. Defamation of character," Wilson said. Kentucky holds off stubborn Red Raiders LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) —Fresh man guard Derrick Miller hit three baskets in the final 7minutes, 22 sec onds, including two three-point shots, to help 13th-ranked Kentucky turn back Texas Tech 66-60 in a non-conference college basketball game Tuesday night.

(AP) — Scotty Bowman, who fired himself as coach last month, was fired as general manager of the Buffalo Sabres Tuesday, ending a eight-season ten ure that saw the team slide into the National Hockey League basement. Bowman, whose 739-327-210 coaching record with the Sabres, Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues made him the winningest coach in NHL history, will be re placed by former Sabre captain Gerry Meehan, who was the team’s assistant general manager. Team co-owner Seymour Knox announced a move that had been widely anticipated because of the team’s failure to make the playoffs last season and its league-worst re cord of 5-15-3 this year. “We wanted to give him all the possible time that we could because of his stature in the game and his hockey brilliance,” said Knox. “We wanted to give him every instant of time we could and we felt we had given him enough. The team was just not getting the job done on the ice.” Harper paces Cavs to win over hapless San Antonio, 115-105 • Di RICHFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Rookie Ron Harper matched his sea son high with 34 points Tuesday night and six other Cleveland play ers scored in double figures as the Cavaliers defeated the San Antonio Spurs 1 15-105. The victory was the Cavaliers’ third straight, their longest winning streak since the 1984-85 season. Cleveland had eight two-game win ning streaks on the way to last sea son’s 29-53 record. Harper scored 13 points in the third quarter to help) the Cavaliers pull away from a 58-58 halftime tie to a 92-79 lead. Cleveland scored its final 1 1 {joints of the period I the free throw line. San Antonio, which has losttlr<i| straight and six of its last i games, got no closer than eigl the final quarter. At one point in ll*| fourth period, Cleveland rookies and the Spurs had tfe'| rookies on the floor. Dan Tyrone Corbin led the Spurs* 23 points, while Alvin Roberts^ had 21. Phil Hubbard had 19 and Job “Hot Rod” Williams scored Cleveland. The 53-year-old Bowman, who guided the Canadiens to five Stanley Cups in his eight seasons coaching in Montreal, said that, despite the ru mors of his impending dismissal, “I didn’t see it coming.” Added Bowman, “It always comes a surprise. You don’t look for ward to this day, and I don’t think the ownership of the club looks for ward to this day.” Knox said Meehan, 40, will stay in his new job at least through the sea son and that Sabres Coach Craig Ramsay and assistant coach Barry Smith would stay in their jobs. Bcjwman stepped aside as head coach Nov. 6 and named Ramsay, an assistant coach, to take over behind the bench.
