I After meeting for 4‘/a hours on I0W I l^Kffednesday in Washington, the two ■ftief negotiators — Gene Upshaw for the NFL Players Associaton, Jack Dbnlan for the league’s Manage- _Hent Council — spoke by telephone Oilen $2^i for an hour and a half on Thursday. ■ John Jones, a spokesman for the JHanagement Council, said Donlan ant HSA fl t . w back to New York after Upshaw d give the: tpld him didn’t want to continue ne gotiations “absent pay protection for player reps.” ■ “From this time on,” Jones said, “the Management Council will put its time ana effort to prepare a pro posal for settlement.” ■ Upshaw, meanwhile, character ized the talks as “on hold.” ■ The contract between the union and the league expired on Monday, although the union cannot strike un til Sept. 15 because it didn’t give its 60-day strike notice to the league and the National Labor Relations Board untiljuly 15. ■ On the day the contract expired, the union’s executive committee set alstrike date, reported to be either the second or fourth week of the regular season. It will be voted on next Tuesday by the player rep- Astrodi )r S 7 50,0 il concmt: nville, ihr hve such j >0,000-a-ui .* ported Vt had told I vetter contr lay orfor^t ednesdav and that I erzeg wash ksonville million, h the Florid; ► prove a 50 nville's hoti - Times li resentatives for the 28 teams. The NFL season begins Sept. 13. Five years ago, the last time the con tract was negotiated, the players struck after the second week of the season and stayed out for 57 days, eliminating seven games of the 16- game regular-season schedule. Although the union’s demand for unrestricted free agency is expected to be the stickiest issue in the talks, the player-rep protection issue moved to the forefront Tuesday. That’s when Brian Holloway of the New England Patriots, a three-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle who had represented the union on national television Monday night, was told by Coach Raymond Berry to either re tire or be traded. Holloway, a union vice president, was traded to the Los Angeles Raid ers a few hours later for a fifth- round draft choice. Upshaw dis closed on Thursday that he met pri vately Wednesday night at Washing ton’s National Airport with Berry, who had flown in from Boston. Up shaw wouldn’t disclose what was said. Upshaw said he believed the Hol loway situation was part of a contin uing assault on player reps. “I thought I had a duty to protect the leadership because we’re losing so many guys,” said Upshaw, who is seeking what amounts to guaranteed contracts for player reps. “On the heels of the Holloway fiasco, we had to meet it head on.” Becker and Lendl advance in U.S. Open tournament NEW YORK (AP) — Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl advanced to the third round of the U.S. Open on Thursday though one had trouble with the wind and the other with his serve. RLendl, the two-time defending champion and top seed, defeated Frenchman Jean Fleurian 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 at the National Tennis Center. Becker, seeded fourth, downed un seeded fonathan Canter 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3). ■'“When I got on the court, it was hard to play for many different rea sons,” said Lendl, who scored the first three-set shutout in Open his tory Tuesday. “For the first set or so, it was a little windy. Then the shad ows started moving through the court.” Becker, a two-time Wimbledon champion beat Canter in 2 hours, 16 minutes, about half the time he needed to eliminate American Tim Wilkison in his come-from-behind opening-round victory. . “I wouldn’t say it was very tough tdiday,” Becker said. “The third set was close because I made mistakes and I had a little letdown.” % Also advancing to the third round were No. 6 Jimmy Connors, No. 13 Brad Gilbert and No. 16 Anders Jar- ryd. In women’s play, No. 2 Martina Navratilova, No. 3 Hana Mandli- kova, No. 6 Helena Sukova, No. 8 Gabriela Sabatini, No. 12 Betinna Bunge and No. 14 Catarina Lindqv- ist won second-round matches. Becker said he thought his first- round struggle would help him later in the two-week tournament. “I know what it’s like to be in a tight five-set match here,” he said. “It gave me a lot of mental confi dence.” However, Becker wasn’t satisfied with his game against Canter, the 102nd-ranked player in the world. “My serve is still kind of a prob lem” he said. “I have periods when I really serve well . . . and then I have periods when I can’t put one in. “I’m beating guys with things I don’t usually do well. I’ve learned how to win when something like my serve isn’t working.” Lendl said he expected a difficult match from Fleurian, No. 78 in the men’s rankings. “I knew he was going to be hard to play because he takes the ball ex tremely early and he goes for his shots.” Connors, who turned 35 Wednes day, beat qualifier Wayne Hearn of Charlotte, N.C., 6-3, 6-2, 6-1. U.S. team continues comeback ROME (AP) — Sprinter Calvin Smith and hurdler Greg Foster defended their titles Thursday as the United States continued its comeback at the World Track and Field Championships. Silke Gladisch of East Germany became the first double gold medalist of the meet as she won the women’s 200-meter dash with a spectacular time of 21.74 sec onds, the second-fastest ever. East Germany also got an upset victory from Thomas Schoenlebe, who beat Nigeria’s Innocent Eg- bunike and American Butch Rey nolds in the men’s 400-meter dash, and an easy win from wom en’s intermediate hurdler Sabine Busch. Meanwhile, Britain’s Daley Thompson, the two-time Olym pic decathlon champion and world record-holder who has been plagued by a groin injury, got off to a poor start in defense of his title. Smith needed all his resource fulness over the final 100 meters to score his 10th consecutive vic tory in the men’s 200-meter dash. Apparently out of contention in fifth place after the first 100 meters, Smith edged France’s Gilles Queneherve. Both were timed in 20.16, with early leader John Regis of Brit ain, who thought he had won, placing third in 20.18. “I knew it was close,” Smith said. “I hoped I had enough strength.” Smith, without competing, lost his world record in the 100 to Canada’s Ben Johnson last Sun day. So winning the 200 gold for the second straight time had to salve some of the bitter wounds. Foster’s victory was just as re deeming. Ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the world in the 110-meter high hur dles for each of the past nine years, Foster had been the victim of two unfortunate mishaps this year. He fell during the World In door Championships in March and he went sprawling in the Pan American Games last month when clipped by teammate Cletus Clark. This time, Foster had no trou ble staying on his feet, although he did clobber the ninth hurdle, and won in 13.21, one-hundredth of a second off the championship record he set in Tuesday’s semifi nals. Britain’s Jon Ridgeon finished second in 13.29 and his team mate, Colin Jackson, edged American Jack Pierce for third, 13.38 to 13.41. “I had a bad start,” Foster said. “I concentrated on catching them, and I got them. I prepared a long time for this day. Now I’ve got it.” sigma nu rush Hurricane Party: Featuring: The Rain Friday 8:00 p.m. Sigma Nu House Sundance.Apts. #33 & 35 For more information call: Warren Wilson 764-1869 John Jakubik 764-6689 ■ ■ / x , ^ 1507 TEXAS r 4— BRYAN We service most foreign and American models.
