This falls somewhat short of Joe Namath’s Super Bowl III guarantee that the 17 1/2-point underdog New York Jets would beat the Baltimore Colts. The betting line, measuring the relative worth of Denver and San Francisco, says the Broncos are dou ble digits short of the 49ers, 12 1/2 points at last report, up from an original 10. Elway thinks his team’s situation isn’t quite that bad. “People are not giving us a lot of chance, ’ Elway said. “IF we win, it will be the greatest upset of all time. If we lose, well, we’re supposed to lose.” The quarterback figures that puts all the pressure on the 49ers, and that’s fine with him. It takes two teams to make a Super Bowl, and the Broncos are happy to play the party of, the second part, odds against them notwithstanding. “Only one other team has a chance to be world champion,” El way said. “I’d rather go to bat and take my chances than not go to bat. I’ll risk humiliation for the chance." Humiliation, of course, has been the Broncos’ regular diet in this set ting. This is Denver’s fourth Super Bowl and the third shot for Elway. Each of the other appearances re sulted in routs, and those wipeouts — especially the last two when he was the quarterback — weigh heavily on Elway. “For me to be the quarterback I want to be, I’ve got to win the big game,” he said. “Not too many guys who are classified as great quar terbacks have not won the championship. I don’t know how many more chances we’ll have. I've missed two opportunities. Hope fully, we won’t miss the boat on tnis one." How would he like to be remem bered? Elway smiled. “I’d like to be looked at as a good quarterback who won at least one Su per Bowl,” he said. ,ou Open reaches quarterfinals Older, younger generations clash in matches MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg and Mats Wilander, each former Australian Open champions, stepped onto the sizzling courts Wednesday hoping to move closer to another title. Opposing them were three young players — Andrei Cherkasov, David Wheaton and Boris Becker — hun gry for their first Australian championships. The three quarterfinal matches offered a view of some of the dominant players of the 1980s and perhaps the key players of the 1990s, the past clashing with the future in the first Grand Slam tournament of the de cade. Lendl, the defending champion and No. 1-ranked player, is the oldest in the group at 29 and faced the youngest, Cherkasov, a 19-year-old Soviet baseliner born on July 4. Wheaton may have been a little lucky to get so far — with Krickstein slowed by a pulled groin and third- round opponent Mark Woodforde retiring in the sec ond set with a sprained ankle — but is widely regarded as one of the top young players. The 25-year-old Wilander, winner of the Australian in 1983, 1984 and 1988, has been struggling the past year. He faced the toughest of the young players, the 22-year-old, second-ranked Becker, winner of three Wimbledon titles and the U.S. Open last year. Becker won six of their previous eight matches, los ing only on the clay at the French Open. In their last meeting, in the Davis Cup final in December, Becker ‘ ‘ 1,6-0, Cherkasov, playing in his first Grand Slam quarterfi nal last year, gave Lendl a tough time before losing 6-4, 6-4 on clay in Hamburg. “It was a very good match for me,” Cherkasov. “I think it was the best in my career.” Edberg, the 1985 and 1987 Australian champion now ranked No. 3, took on a stranger in Wheaton, a 20- year-old with a powerful serve-and-volley game. Edberg, the only quarterfinalist not to drop a set in his first four matches, tuned up for the meeting with a five-set doubles match in the 140-degree courtside heat Tuesday. trounced Wilander 6-2, 6-0, 6-2. The fourth quarterfinal match, scheduled at night, E itted 12th-ranked Yannick Noah of France against Mi- ael Pernfors, the Swedish-born former NCAA cham pion at Georgia who benefited from the default of John McEnroe. Noah, who beat Lendl en route to winning a tuneup event in Sydney, won both his previous matches with Pernfors in close matches, once on clay in 1985 and an other on hard courts in 1986. Wheaton, from Lake Minnetonka, Minn., made it to the quarters by beating No. 5 Aaron Krickstein 7-6, 6-4, 6-3. There may be hotter spots on earth than center court at the Australian Open, but only fools would play tennis in them — unless they were getting a lot of money. In earlier women’s quarterfinal matches, top-seed Steffi Graf defeated Patty Fendick 6-3, 7-5; No. 6 seed Mary Joe Fernandez beat Zina Garrison 1-6, 6-2, 8-6; West Germany’s Claudia Porwik beat Angelica Gaval- don, 6-4, 6-3 and No. 4 seed Helena Sukova of Czecho slovakia defeated Bulgaria’s Katerina Maleeva 6-4, 6-3. ■ ■ 1 * Oilers’ Moon named NFL’s Man of Year NEW ORLEANS (AP) —Quar terback Warren Moon, who formed a foundation last March to assist disadvantaged young sters and the homeless in Hous ton, was honored Tuesday as the NFL’s Man of the Year. Moon received a $25,000 char ity award, which will go to the Crescent Moon Foundation. The money will fund a college schol arship program. “As a player, a lot of different awards have been brought my way,” said Moon, the AFCs start ing quarterback in the Pro Bowl. “As a total person, this award means more. It talks about not only on-field excellence but what you give back to the community and the kind of person you are.” Moon recently donated $200,000 to the construction of the Kingdom Builders Commu nity Centger in Houston. Its 73 ministries support small busi nesses, youth activities, the el derly and people with debilitating diseases.

Granted, Texas is not all that well known for producing quality basketball players. But with the help of better facilities, maybe we could attract better players. Next on Crow’s list should be getting more national TV exposure. This goes for the whole SWC as well. The thing that really hurts the conference is the lack of of TV exposure. Schools from the Big East, Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference grab all of the big players because they’re attracted to the TV time given these schools. If A&M and the rest of the SWC want to make a better name for Texas basketball, they’ll do something about it. Yet another issue that may be looming in the back of Crow’s head, is the fact that A&M is known more for its football team than its basketball team because Metcalf hadn’t enjoyed as much success as Jackie Sherrill and R.C. Slocum. We’vejust got to say, “We’re going to get the job done.” Then go up East and find a E remising coach who can make the asketball program work. Then do it. recovered from dependency on lis own, without help from team of ficials, the physician who approved his reinstatement to the NBA said. But now, team management and coaches say they want to help Tar pley prevent a third strike for drug violations that would result in life time suspension from the league. Some are a little cautious, though, about the chances. Tarpley, who was left on his own throughout his latest suspension on orders of Mavericks majority owner Donald Carter, made the recovery on his own, said Dr. Dave Lewis of the ASAP Family Treatment Center in Van Nuys, Calif. “Mr. Carter was taking a ‘tough- love’ approach,” said Lewis, who lifted the suspension Monday. “A person who’s an alcoholic or an ad dict needs to take responsibility for the recovery. “That’s one of the things I saw Roy doing for the last two weeks, for sure. He was enthusiastic, focused on his own recovery. He didn’t ask me, ‘When am I going to get back?” them in helping the Mavericks turn around what has been a mediocre Tarpley, who said his enthusiasm to play again isn’t dampened by his need to prove himself again, listed his toughest thing to handle in re turning from the 34-game absence as “Akeem,” referring to Houston Rockets’ All Star center Akeem Ola- juwon. Other Mavericks players said they were relieved that Tarpley didn’t feel like he could immediately re claim his starting position. “I think he’s going to have to be sensitive to the fact that we’ve put some things together here without him,” said center James Donaldson. “He’s going to have to work his way back into the rotation and earn his starting job back.” season. “We can’t be married to the guy, emotionally, anymore,” said team captain Rolando Blackman. “I don’t know if he can handle himself, at this point. We thought that before, and he couldn’t. Tarpley told a news conference at Reunion Arena Monday evening that many have heard his story be fore. “A lot of people ... were trying to help me and I think it’s important for me to take responsibility fc vn Some teammates also want more proof that Tarpley won’t disappoint tor my self. And that’s what I have done,” said Tarpley, who resumed practice Tuesday. “I really don’t expect you to believe me because you’re proba bly hearing the same thing you heard before. “I’ll just have to make my actions speak louder than words,” he said. “What I’m all about today is actions.” UTEP under NCAA scrutiny he i ping to ti Cai laid t st aign ews i “H< 3, an e ve ised nds "It eir id.

Three months after Bailey re signed, the NCAA placed the football program on a three-year probation. At the time, the NCAA said in its order that if Bailey were hired by an other NCAA school before August 1994, both Bailey and the school that hired him could be summoned be fore the NCAA infractions commit tee.
