Ivan Lendl, the world’s top-
ranked player who lost to Becker in
the final last year, struggled before
beating West Germany’s Christian
Saceanu 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.
Edberg needed only 60 minutes to
blast his way into the second round.
It was, according to tournament re
cords, the shortest men’s match at
Wimbledon since players were fir st
allowed to have chairs on the side
lines and 90 seconds rest after every
second game, in the mid-1970s.
The serve-and-volley specialist
lost just 34 points as he became the
third known player — and the third
Swede — to win every game in a
match at Wimbledon. The others
were Lennart Bergelin, who later
coached Bjorn Borg, in 1946 and
Torsten Johansson in 1947. Johans
son not only did it in the first round,
but repeated the performance in his
second-round match.
“When I was at 5-0 in the third set
I thought about giving him a game,”
Edberg said, “but then thought
maybe I’ll never get another chance
to do it in a Grand Slam event. But I
feel very sorry for him.”
The two other players who have
won love matches in Grand Slam
tournaments in the open era are No
vacek, who did it four weeks ago,
and Nikki Spear in 1968. Both were
accomplished at the French Open.
Becker and Novacek actually
made two appearances on Centre
Court. The first ended abruptly af
ter their seven-minute warmup
when the rain began again.
The acrobatic Becker, who has
thrilled the crowd with his diving
volleys while winning the title the
last two years, didn’t disappoint
them. But most of his lunges only
produced winning points for Nova
cek.
However, Novacek never really
never threatened the No. 1 seed.
Other seeded men to win Tuesday
were No. 11 Pat Cash of Australia, 6-
0, 6-3, 6-2 over American Marcel
Freeman; No. 12 Brad Gilbert of the
United States, 7-6, 6-4, 6-3 over Brit
ain’s Stuart Bale; and No. 13 Joakim
Nystrom, who defeated Henrik Sun-
dstrom 6-2, 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 in a battle of
Swedes.
On the women’s side, No. 7 Ga-
briela Sabatini of Argentina de
feated American Barbara Gerkin 6-
3, 6-3; No. 8 Manuela Maleeva of
Bulgaria downed Canada’s Helen
Kelesi 6-3, 6-2; and No. 11 Lori Mc
Neil of the United States stopped
Marie-Christine Galicia of France 6-
2, 6-3.
With the backlog of matches due
to the weather, tournament officials
will begin play today about two
hours earlier.

NEW YORK (AP) — Five teams
got right to the point in the NBA
draft.
Point guards were chosen first by
Sacramento, Cleveland, Washing
ton, New York and Detroit on Mon
day as teams recognized the need for
quick, intelligent players who are ac
curate passers.
The Kings grabbed 6-foot-3
Kenny Smith of North Carolina with
the sixth selection and the Cavaliers
followed immediately by taking 6-1
Kevin Johnson of California. The
Bullets took 5-3 Tyrone Bogues of
Wake Forest No. 12, the Knicks se
lected 6-3 Mark Jackson of St. John’s
No. 18 and the Pistons, with the first
pick of the second round, got 6-2
Freddie Banks of Nevada-Las Ve-
gas.
Sacramento, 29-53 last season,
went into the draft looking for more
speed and quickness, and found it in
Smith, who rarely tasted defeat at
North Carolina.
In Johnson, Cleveland got a point
guard not nearly as well known as
Smith, but Coach Lenny Wilkens
said that hardly matters in the NBA.
The drafting of Johnson, Cal’s all-
time leader in points, assists and
steals, showed some disenchantment
with John Bagley, Cleveland’s start
ing point guard for most of the past
three seasons.
Bogues was the sensation of draft
day when he was taken by the Bul
lets, who will team him with the
NBA’s tallest player, 7-7 Manute
Bol.
“We know his size is a detriment,”
Bullets Coach Kevin Loughery said,
“but his skills and leadership qual
ities are something we needed. Bo
gues definitely has the opportunity
to start for our ballclub.”
Detroit was hoping to use its first
pick for a big guard, but the Pistons
settled for Banks, who could be a
backup for Isiah Thomas.
After San Antonio took Navy cen
ter David Robinson and Phoenix fol
lowed with 6-9 Armon Gilliam of
Nevada-Las Vegas, 12 of the next 25
selections were guards.
New Jersey grabbed 6-5 guard

Clippers took 6-7 guard Reggie Wil

Athlon picks Ags 1st
in SWC, 6th in nation
By Homer Jacobs
Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies are headed
for a third straight Southwest
Conference championship and
Cotton Bowl berth in 1987.
At least that’s what Athlon’s
Southwest Football magazine is
predicting for the upcoming sea
son.
Athlon is typically one of the
first of many publications pre
viewing the 1987 college football
season that will hit newsstands
this summer.
Not since 1973 has a team won
three straight SWC titles when
the Texas Longhorns won six in a
row beginning in 1968. But Ath
lon foresees a strong Aggie team
despite the absence of quar
terback Kevin Murray and his
1986 supporting cast of greats
like Roger Vick and Rod
Bernstine.
The Arkansas Razorbacks are
picked as a close second to A&M,
with Texas Tech picked third and
Texas fourth. The bottom eche
lon sees Baylor coming in fifth.
and Rice grabbing the sixth spot.
Texas Christian is picked seventh
with Houston picked for last
place.
Last year, Athlon predicted a
national championship for the
Aggies and Coach Jackie Sherrill.
In 1987, A&M is seen as the sixth
best team in the nation. The top
five looks like this: 1. Oklahoma
2. Penn State 3. Auburn 4. Michi
gan 5. Miami.
A&M has a very challenging
pre-conference slate with a sea
son opener Sept. 5 against Loui
siana State, which is ranked ninth
by Athlon, and a battle with 18th-
ranked Washington Sept. 19.
Both games are at Kyle Field.
Aggie notes. . . The Aggies’
1987 recruiting class, featuring
two of the top running backs in
the nation in Darren Lewis and
Randy Simmons, was rated the
best in the country according to
national recruiting guru Max
Emfinger. The rating was based
on a poll of 31 college coaches
and a computerized ranking sys
tem of top players.
Padres' dissatisfaction
growing with season
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Right
hander Eric Show says some of his
San Diego Padres teammates are
stabbing him in the back, and right
fielder Tony Gwynn is unhappy be
cause he had heard Show was com
plaining about lack of support.
The two were at the center of a
public display of dissension on base
ball’s losingest team.
Responding to teammates’ com
ments portraying him as a com-
plainer, Show threatened to reveal
private clubhouse details about
other players.
“I’ll open a can of worms,” he said
Monday. “I’ve never talked about
my fellow players in the press. Yet,
these same individuals seize every
opportunity to stab me in the back to
the media.”
Gwynn said he heard Show had
made a comment about not receiv
ing any support when he pitches.
“His job is to get outs. Our job is to
make it easier for him to get outs,”
Gwynn said.
“I don’t particularly like people
coming in here and saying they’re
not getting support after they’ve
been taken out of a game,” Gwynn
said. “Obviously we made some mis
takes and they cost us. But it doesn’t
just happen when he’s on the
mound. Sometimes you’ve got to
tough it out.”
