Joyner-Kersee accumulated 7,128 points in the heptathlon, a two-day test of skill and endurance, falling short by 31 points of besting the re cord 7,158 she established Aug. 1-2, 1986 at Houston. She had an excellent shot at sur passing the record, needing to run the final event, the 800 meters, in two minutes 14.09 seconds. But after two days of competing in sweltering conditions, the best she could do was 2:16.29. For the first six of the seven hep tathlon events, she had been ahead of record pace, and since her best in the 800 is 2:09.32, she appeared to be a cinch for the record. Moses had to be at his best in win ning the 400-meter hurdles for the second straight time in the world championships. Only .02 seconds separated him in a photo finish from teammate Danny Harris and West German Ha- rald Schmid. Moses, the two-time Olympic champion and world record holder, struggled to the finish line after a strong start and was timed in 47.46 seconds, the fastest time in the world this year. Harris and Schmid each was timed in 47.48, but the American was awarded the silver medal and the West German was given the bronze. 4 3 Oilers cut former Aggies HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Oilers released 13 free agent players Tuesday, including former Texas A&M players Dom ingo Bryant and Keith Guthrie, to reduce their roster to the NFL player limit of 60.

Texas A&M employees, you have until the end of this month to decide on your insurance option for the coming year. You don t have to rush into a health care decision you might later regret. Among the options being offered you this year is participation in a clinic-based health main tenance organization. Along with the single-premium advantage this program offers come some significant restrictions you should fully understand — before you decide to abandon your proven medical insurance plan. For example, to be covered by the health plan you give up your right to select your physi cian from among any in the community. Only those doctors affiliated with the sponsoring clinic will be covered by the plan. The same goes for hospitals — should you require hospitalization, the plan will pay only for services in a participating hospital. This is of particular importance to those who might need to seek cancer therapy at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, or heart surgery at ei ther of world renown cardiac facilities at Houston hospitals. HMO participation means giving up your PCS card and privileges. And your dental cover age. Psychiatric services are severely restricted; treatment for drug problems is excluded alto gether. . The final day to decide on which health care option is best for you and your family is Wednesday, September 30. Take the time, before the deadline, to learn all the facts. After all, your health care is at stake. Don’t lose your freedom to choose!
