UTEP rises
from cellar
EL PASO (AP) — By at least one
yardstick, Bob Stull was a success his
first season as football coach at
Texas-El Paso: The Miners finished
only second-to-last in the Western
Athletic Conference.
/ It out in
The Battalion
Classified
At many colleges, UTEP’s 4-8 re
cord could be cause for a coach’s fir
ing, but the mark was the Miners’
best since 1974, when they went 4-7.
UTEP joined the WAC in 1968
and has been at the bottom of the
league 13 times and next-to-last
twice, including this season.
Stull, who came to UTEP from
the University of Massachusetts in
January to replace the fired Bill
Yung, led the Miners to two confer
ence wins this year, helping them
finish ahead of the cellar-dwelling
Utah Utes.
It was a modest but promising im
provement for a traditional under
dog in college football.
“The first year is the hardest be
cause nobody understands exactly
what you want, including the
coaches,” Stull said.
Stull also helped several players
shine, most noticeably quarterback
Sammy Garza, a 6-1, 185-pound se
nior from Harlingen who threw for
3,140 yards and had a completion
mark of 62.9 percent.
Garza ranked 18th in the nation
in passing efficiency with 134.9 rat
ing points. The leader in that cat
egory this year was Heisman winner
Vinny Testaverde of Miami with
165.8 points.
After UTEP’s season-ending 55-
45 win over Utah, Garza was named
the WAC’s offensive player of the
week.
Despite a grueling schedule that
included five straight road games, a
home game against San Diego State,
and then another two on the road,
Stull’s leadership has given the Min
ers a much-needed lift, Garza said.
“There were a lot of games that
were very close games,” he said.
“Lots of games that last year we
wouldn’t have even been in — Air
Force, for example.”
UTEP lost at home to Air Force
23-21 when Mike Johnson kicked a
44-yard field goal with one second
left.
Garza said he is interested in a ca
reer in the National Football
League, but would consider playing
in Canada.

Cheating marathon runne
caught on video cameras
NEW YORK (AP) — The 24 peo
ple who took shortcuts in last
month’s New York City marathon
probably didn’t think about the vi
deo cameras recording the race.
The runners were caught, and of
ficials from the three biggest mar
athons said Wednesday that cameras
and vigilance are increasingly
needed to combat the cheaters.
It was the disqualification of John
Bell, winner of the Master Division
for runners over 40, that led New
York race officials to review their vi
deotape from the race and disqualify
23 other runners. Officials estimate
that the 44-year-old Bell, of Marion,
Ind., took a 10-mile shortcut for his
time of 2 hours, 25 minutes and 15
seconds.
Three of the 24 runners were
among the top 100 finishers. Bell
was the 69th runner to cross the fin
ish line out of 19,689 people who
finished the 26.2-mile race on Nov.
2.
Bob Glover, a fitness coach and
author of “The Runner’s Hand-
book,” originally raised questions
about Bell’s time. He had l>een giv
ing Bell training advice for seven
years, he said.
“I ran into him a couple of days
before the race and he said he had
just done the Ironman Triathlon
and was confident of breaking 2:30
in New York,” Glover said. "1 said,
‘no way.’ He said, ‘Oh, yeah.’ That
definitely registered."
The triathlon includes a 100-mile
bike ride, a two-mile swim and a
marathon.

When Glover heard Bell won the

officials to check their videotapes,
which were recorded by cameras
along the route. Bell and the others
hadn’t passed some checkpoints, and
race director Fred Lebow an
nounced the disqualifications Tues
day.
“Bell probably did pretty much

NFL playoff picture still muddy
as season enters final two weeks
(
(AP) — The race for the NFL’s 10
playoff spots moved into its final two
weeks Monday with the AFC in a
mad scramble that could go down to
the final game of the season.
Kansas City’s 37-10 upset of
Denver and Cincinnati’s 31-7 win
over New England meant no new
teams were added Sunday to the
three that had already clinched play
off berths — the Chicago Bears,
New York Giants and Washington
Redskins. But the Broncos clinched
the AFC West championship Mon
day night when Seattle beat the Los
Angeles Raiders 37-0.
But the Giants’ 24-14 victory over
the Redskins moved them a small
step away from the NFC East title
and the Los Angeles Rams’ 29-10
win over Dallas left them equally
close to the NFC West championship
and the Cowboys near elimination.
The Indianapolis Colts, mean
while, may have jeopardized their
shot at Heisman Trophy winner
Vinny Testaverde by beating Atlanta
28-23. That left Indianapolis at 1-13
to 2-12 for Tampa Bay, with the
Colts facing a decent shot at another
win this week at home against Buf
falo.
If Indianapolis and Tampa Bay
tied for the worst record in the
league at 2-14, the first pick would
go to the team with the easier sched
ule. Tampa Bay’s opponents are cur
rently 73-78-3 to 86-79-2 for India
napolis, giving the Bucs the edge for
Testaverde in the event of a tie.
As for playoff berths, here’s the
way the AFC breaks down: New En
gland and the New York Jets, both
losers Sunday, remain tied for the
lead in the East at 10-4.
The Jets can clinch a wild-card
berth with one more win — either at
home Saturday against Pittsburgh or
the following week in Cincinnati.
The Patriots, who are at home to
San Francisco and at Miami on the
final Monday night, could clinch a
wild card with a win and a loss by ei
ther the Raiders and Cincinnati.
Miami, 7-7, needed an unlikely
combination of circumstances to
avoid missing the playoffs for the
first time since 1980.
If the Patriots and Jets each win
their final two games, New England
would win the division title because
it would have a 7-1 record in the di
vision to a 6-2 mark for the Jets. If
each loses the final two, the Jets
would win the title by virtue of hav
ing a better conference record.
The Central title may be decided
Sunday when Cleveland, 10-4, visits
Cincinnati, 9-5. If the Browns win,
they clinch. If the Bengals win, Cin
cinnati would have the edge in the
tiebreaker because of having beaten
the Browns twice. The loser remains
in wild-card contention.
Tide outlasts Razorbacks 87-76
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) —For
ward Jim Farmer scored 30 points
and guard James Jackson added 20
points to lead 18th-ranked Alabama
to an 87-76 victory over No. 20 Ar
kansas Wednesday night.
The Crimson Tide, 3-1, opened a
13-point lead in the first half on the
outside shooting of Farmer and the
inside work of center Derrick Mc-
Key, who finished with 17 points.
Alabama scored six unanswered
points to open the second half, in
cluding two layups by Farmer, to
take a 48-31 lead. The Crimson Tide
maintained a 16-point advantage for
most of the half, taking a 19-point
lead with four minutes, 45 seconds
to go on an offensive rebound by
forward Michael Ansley, who fin
ished with 10 rebounds.
Arkansas, 4-1, made only four
field goals during a nine-minute
stretch in the second half, although
the Razorbacks managed six free
throws during the drought.
The Razorbacks mounted a
comeback late in the game on the
shooting of guard Tim Scott, who
finished with 27 points.
Arkansas forward Mike Ratliff hit
a jumper to make it 81-70 and Scott
followed with another three-point
shot with 40 seconds to go to trim
the margin to 81-73.
But Farmer sank four free throws
and Jackson made two in the stretch
to seal the victory for Alabama.
