‘Get another point-and-a-half ...we ’ll cover the spread ’
Elway predicts closer Super Bowl
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — John El
way of the Denver Broncos, in the
tradition of quarterbacks past, of
fered a Super Bowl guarantee.
“Get another point-and-a-half,”
Elway said, “and I guarantee we’ll
cover the spread."
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.

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.

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.

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?”

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.”

“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,

EL PASO (AP) — Texas-El Paso’s
football coach and athletic director
will go before the NCAA Committee
on Infractions next month to ex

Charlie Bailey.
Bailey, hired as UTEP’s new de
fensive coordinator, resigned as
head coach of Memphis State last
May while the school’s football pro

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
