UNT forced to suspend
nine players for violations
From Staff and Wire Reports
DENTON — Nine University
of North Texas football players
won’t play in Saturday’s season
opener against Alcorn State Uni
versity because they violated
school atten
dance policies,
head coach
Corky Nelson ^52
says.
The play
ers, some of
them starters,
violated school
rules that al
low student-
athletes to miss only three classes
or study halls per semester. Nel
son said.
Student-athletes who miss
more are booted from the next
game or the first game of the next
season.
“We warned them not to go
over three,’’ Nelson said. “This is
the first semester we’ve had this
policy in effect and we’re catching
the brunt of it now.
“Maybe with these nine exam
ples, we won’t have to worry
about it any more.”
AH of the suspended players
are redshirt freshmen. First and
second string defensive backs
Wayne Walker and Charles Reece
and running back David Blan
chard are atop the list of players
lost.
Offensive lineman Kent Engle-
hardt, running back Travis Gib
son, wide receiver Darius Jones,
defensive line
man Rondy
Long, wide re
ceiver J.R. Se-
lexman and
defensive line
man Lionel
Ford are sus-
pended as
well.
Nelson said
several of the players, including
Jones and Blanchard, were pen
ciled in as starters.
Walker and Gibson were sec
ond-team players who were ex
pected to play a great deal Satur
day.
“It’s going to hurt our depth
for the first ball game,” Nelson
said. “But if we survive that. I’m
hoping we won’t run into the
same situation.”
The Eagles finished last season
with a 5-6 record and are mem
bers of the Southland Confer
ence.
“I hope this makes an impres
sion,” Nelson said.
Garrison forced to withdraw
from Open with injured ankle
NEW YORK (AP) — Zina Garrison withdrew from
the women’s doubles competition Wednesday because
of an injured ankle.
Dr. Irving Click, the tournament physician, advised
Garrison not to play in the women’s doubles after he ex
amined her ankle following her 6-2, 6-2 loss to Arantxa
Sanchez Vicario in the singles quarterfinals.
Garrison hurt her right ankle Sept. 1 and, as a pre
ventive measure because of soreness, had it taped ear
lier this week. During her mixed doubles on Monday,
the tape irritated her Achilles tendon.
She had the ankle treated with ice and electrical stim
ulation prior to her loss to Sanchez Vicario.
Although the injury, diagnosed as “right Achilles
tenosynovitis,” has been subsiding with the treatment,
Dr. Click said he felt Garrison should not play until the
pain subsides.
Both Dr. Click and Kathleen Stroia, the Women’s
Tennis Association trainer, said Garrison would be at
considerable risk for further injury if she continued to
Play '-
With the default of the team of Garrison and Patty
Fendick, Natalia Medvedeva and Leila Meskhi move
into the quarterfinals where they will play fellow Soviet
players Larisa Savchenko and Natalia Zvereva.
Garrison will be sidelined for one week.

nings and has an 18-9 career record

the disabled list, it was his first home
run since June 13.
The Padres came back with three
in the bottom of the second.
Joe Carter led off the inning with

Golf tourney
features duo
of Byrums
COAL VALLEY, Ill. (AP) —Tom
Byrum wants one thing from his
brother Curt — his Hardee’s Classic
title.
But so do several others teeing off
today in the upgraded field, includ
ing Curtis Strange, Wayne Levi,
Mark Calcavecchia and Payne Stew
art.
It was at this tournament last year,
that the Byrums completed a double
play which hadn’t been seen since
Mike and Dave Hill each won PGA
events in 1972.
“I won a tournament and I felt
bad because I knew it was going to
put more pressure on him,” said
Tom Byrum, who won the 1989
Kemper Open. “I was real happy for
him when ne won here. Then I kind
of enjoyed my win that much more.”
“We’re both playing for our liveli
hood,” said Tom, who often prac
tices with Curl.
“We’re just trying to get better in
dividually so we can beat other peo
ple, not each other,” Curt Byrum
said.
At this tournament, they’ll be fac
ing many elite golfers in the field of
156, only the third time in 20 years
the event has reached capacity.
“This is our top field — the first
year we’ve had such good players,”
tournament spokeswoman Julie
Johnson said. “The golf course is in
good shape.
The hefty increase in the purse
made the Hardee’s Classic more at
tractive to the headliners, as well as a
commitment from ESPN to televise
the final two rounds Saturday and
Sunday.
The winner’s share of $180,000 is
five times greater than in 1984, the
year before Hardee’s assumed
sponsorship.
