Fernandez evokes memory of Ever
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) —
Teen-ager Mary Joe Fernandez, the
lone American left in the Australian
Open, has a style reminiscent of the
last American to reach the finals —
Chris Evert.
Fernandez, who takes center
court Thursday in the women’s
semifinals against West German
Claudia Porwik, grew up near Evert
in Florida and saw her as a role
model.
Like Evert, she fashioned her
g ame with a similar two-fisted back-
and and solid groundstrokes.
Fernandez, now 18 and a pro
since 14, has grown into a strong, 5-
foot-8 player with an increasingly ef
fective net game — better than Ev
ert’s at the same age.
Fernandez reached the semifinals
at the French Open last year and is
No. 11 on the women’s rankings, 52
spots ahead of Porwik. In their only
previous meeting, Fernandez won in
Lendl, Noah meet in semifinals
three sets on clay in Berlin last year.
If Fernandez, who upset No. 3
Zina Garrison in the quarters, makes
the finals, she probably would face
two-time defending champion Steffi
Graf.
Graf, who beat Evert in the finals
here two years ago, faces Helena Su-
kova in Thursday’s other semifinal.
Graf beat Sukova in the final a year
ago and has a 14-1 record against
her. The only time Sukova beat Graf
was in 1983, when Graf was 13 and
Sukova 17.
Fernandez certainly isn’t worried
about taking on Graf, who has a 46-
match winning streak. Graf also has
won 20 consecutive matches at the
Australian Open.

Tarpley booed in Dallas;
Mavs wary of star’s return
DALLAS (AP) — Mavericks for
ward Roy Tarpley says he’s a new
man, but for the most part he was
the same old star in his first game
back from yet another suspension.
Tarpley helped Dallas rout the
Washington Bullets 129-105 with 11
points, four rebounds, two blocked
shots and three deflected passes —
all in one quarter.
The Mavericks were already up by
30 points after three quarters when
Tarpley entered the game Tuesday
night. But for the Mavericks to re
turn to the NBA’s upper echelon,
Tarpley’s talents are essential.
“It felt great to be out there play
ing with the guys and winning,” Tar
pley said. “I’m really glad to be back,
and the guys played so well. I’m so
excited for them.”
Seven Mavericks scored 10 or
more points against the Bullets.
Tarpley was reinstated Monday
after a 67-day, 34-game suspension
for violating terms of his drug after
care program. He promised his tea-
Lehmann
(Continued from page 9)
repeats allegations that Crow
intends to fire him.
“I don’t know what’s going to
happen,” Metcalf says, “but I think
I’ll be gone before I Want to go.” He
then threatens to consult an
attorney. “I owe it to my family,”
Metcalf says.
Crow attends the game, but again
denies any intention of firing
Metcalf, at least until after the
season.
• January 22 — Metcalf is
removed as head basketball coach.
After a short meeting with Crow
that afternoon, Metcalf is relieved of
his duties as head basketball coach.
Crow replaces him with John
Thornton. Thornton, an Aggie
basketball star in the mid-1970s, has
been an assistant to Metcalf since
1981. Crow says that Metcalf, who
has more SWC wins than any other
coach in conference history, will be
reassigned to other duties within the
University.
Metcalf says he isn’t sure that he’ll
accept reassignment. “I’d rather
they just pay me off like they did
Coach Sherrill, and get the hell out
of Dodge.”
Student reaction is mixed.
• January 23 — Metcalf meets
with University President William H.
Mobley. After the meeting, Metcalf
says he has reconsidered the
reassignment, but hasn’t decided.
Although public opinion seems to
favor Metcalf, the real loser is the
A&M basketball program. The
turmoil will hurt recruiting classes
and the University’s image for years.

just got to go for it. She’s obviously
No. 1 right now and the best player
in the world, but there’s going to
come a time when she’s going to
have to lose.”
A wild celebration by serene
Swede Stefan Edberg — he raised
both fists and smiled — punctuated
a victory that could help him vault
past Boris Becker in the chase for
Ivan Lendl’s No. 1 spot.
Edberg, ranked No. 3, said he was
“pumped” as he reached the men’s
semifinals Wednesday along with
No. 1 Lendl, while No. 2 Becker
went bye-bye.
That narrowed the gap between
Edberg and Becker in the tour com
puter rankings, and spoiled Becker’s
chances of catching Lendl ailjl
until the French Open.

mmates and fans that he wouldn’t
slip again, and was expected to re
turn to action Friday night against
the Sacramento Kings.
Coach Richie Adubato said he
“expected a tough game” from the
Bullets and planned to keep Tarpley
on the bencn. “But we were on fire
tonight. So I was able to play Roy 12
minutes in a relaxed setting.”
Adubato said he was pleased with
Tarpley’s return, but cautioned:
“Roy is going to have to be accepted
by our team and to earn a lot of his
playing time.”
Adubato declared Tarpley “is out
of shape,” and said he will work him
into action gradually behind inside
starters James Donaldson, Sam Per
kins and Adrian Dantley and sub
Herb Williams.
Tarpley missed two dunks and at
times had to be told by his team
mates where to set up. He acknowl
edged he is rusty. “I think I need to
brush up on my overall game, on my
skills,” he said.
Tarpley said some booing from
the Reunion Arena crowd of 16,203
didn’t bother him much.
“I expected that and I’m glad it’s
over with now,” he said. “So, hope
fully, it will get a little better Friday.”
Donaldson said Tarpley’s team
mates are glad to have him back, but
won’t be surprised if he slips again.
Tarpley nas two strikes in the
NBA anti-drug program. He has
twice been treated for drug and alco
hol abuse. Another strike would ban
him for life.
“We are going to trust him, but it
really won’t be the same as the last
couple of times, where we really
honestly believed that he would
never have a problem again,” Don
aldson said.
Mavericks owner Donald Carter
said this is Tarpley’s last chance at
staying out of trouble, even if an
other violation might not constitute
a “third strike.”
“This is the last time, no matter
what the legalities are,” Carter said.
Tarpley was the NBA’s leading re
bounder when he was suspended
Nov. 16, one day after he was ar
rested in Dallas on charges of driv
ing while intoxicated and resisting
arrest. The suspension cost Tarpley
more than $240,000.
Officials at the ASAP Family
Treatment Center in Van Nuys,
Calif., which administers the NBA’s
anti-drug program, said at the time
that Tarpley had violated his after
care program, but that the violations
did not constitute a “third strike.”
Tarpley in October 1987 admitted
he was seeking counseling for alco
hol and cocaine problems, constitut
ing his first strike under the NBA’s
anti-drug policy.
The second strike came in Jan
uary 1989 when Tarpley told drug
counselors at ASAP that he needed
help to control his drug problem. He
was suspended without pay and en
tered the center. He returned March
16.
Oilers’ coach honored
HOUSTON (AP) — Oilers
Coach Jack Pardee will be hon
ored as a model for America’s
youth at a March 1 fund-raising
gala presented by the Houston
Chapter of the Texas Society of
Certified Public Accountants.
The “Tribute to Jack Pardee”
will help raise donations for a
Houston youth program to be se
lected Friday, TSCPA officials
said Wednesday.
“Jack Pardee was selected as
this year’s honoree because of his
continuing efforts to help build
character, values and social con
sciousness in young people,” said
Donald M. Clanton, TSCPA
event chairman.
“His interest in America!
youth existed long before he be
came a Houston coach, akhougli
he has exemplified coaching for
life, as well as football in Hous
ton,” Clanton said.
Pardee, who was recently
named the Oilers coach, began
his football career in Christoval,
Texas.
Cowboys 'owner humbled
Landry enjoys success
By DENNEH. FREEMAN
Associated Press
ANALYSIS
DALLAS (AP) — Jerry Jones
must be seeing Tom Landry in his
sleep.
See Tom announcing a book deal.
See Tom on television trying to im
itate Willie Nelson. See Tom in the
Professional Football Hall of Fame.
Jones fired Landry, paid him $1
million severance, and martyred him
to kingdom come.
The new owner of the Dallas Cow
boys has apologized until he is Cow
boys blue in the face, but Landry
keeps coming back to haunt Jones.
Landry isn’t going to let up on the
shabby treatment he felt he received.
And Jones is going to have to lump it
until he can live with it.
At every opportunity Landry re
minds one and all that Jones should
have handled things better. It’s an
offense against which Jones has no
defense. The majority of the Ameri
can sporting public and sporting
press agrees. You don’t gut-shoot a
legend.
Jones can’t get away from Landry.
If he watches television, Landry
will be there with his new singing
commercial: “Momma, don’t let
your babies grow up to be Redskins
... You didn’t think I was going to say
Cowboys, did you?”
Landry pops up out of a suitcase
in the Quality Inn commercial and
gives his best imitation of Nelson,
the Austin country and wesler
singer who made the songabigii'
years ago.
“They had to give me voice le
sons, if you can believe that,” land:;
said. “My voice was too high at
they had to get it down lower. Ib
to have me a coach to learn hor
do that. They kept calling and cal
ing so I decided to do it.”
If you’ll notice in the commercia
Landry isn’t actually playing thegu*
tar. There wasn’t enough time ge
Tom to pick like Willie.
It’s a smash commercial forvihidj
Quality Inn will he paying $700,Ob
each for 30 second spots during Su
per Bowl XXIV between hmy
and San Francisco.
“It was a fun thing to do,” Landr
said. “I’d sung in church a few time i
but that didn’t exactly prepare m;
for a commercial.”
Landry will be paid handsorael|
for the advertisement. It will runs:
figures by the time the residuals ai|
registered.
The last time Landry did a coni
merical, it was the American Exprel
cutie in which he survived a taverl
jammed with Washington Redsknd
He got $50,000 and residuals thaf
went over the moon.
Landry, by the way, won’t he a:

last year.
Besides an occasional birdie
Landry will likely be celebratinfl
some more big news in his career.
He is up for election this weekenCi

“It’s an honor just to be non:

A fact Jerry Jones has been re
