The Buffalo Bills quarterback threw two touchdown passes, the second a 13-yarder to Er nest Givins of the Houston Oilers with 1:49 re maining, to give the AFC a 23-21 victory over the NFC in the Pro Bowl on Sunday. Unlike last week’s Super Bowl, Kelly was on the other side as a team failed to kick a game-win ning field goal in the final seconds. Last week, it was Buffalo’s Scott Norwood who failed on a 47- yarder as Buffalo lost to the New York Giants 20- 19. Sunday night, it was the NFC’s Morten Ander sen of New Orleans who failed to come through, when his 46-yarder was blocked with seven sec onds to play by Miami’s Jeff Cross. Kelly, a frustrated sideline onlooker in the Su per Bowl as the Giants’ time-consuming offense controlled the ball, completed 13 of 19 passes for 210 yards in the Pro Bowl while splitting playing time with the Oilers’ Warren Moon. Kelly’s other touchdown pass was a 20-yard to Buffalo teammate Andre Reed early in the final quarter. Detroit’s Barry Sanders, the NFL’s leading rusher this season, ran 22 yards for a touchdown with 5:11 remaining to give the NFC a 21-13 lead. • Nick Lowery of Kansas City then pulled the AEG to within 21-16 with his third field goal of the game, a 34-yarder with 2:58 remaining. Kelly and Reed hooked up on their scoring pass to pull the AFC to within 14-13 early in the final quarter. Kelly threaded the ball perfectly between two NFC defenders for the touchdown. A 33-yard pass from Kelly to Anthony Miller of the San Diego Chargers was a key play in the AFC’s touchdown drive, moving the ball to the NFC 42-yard line. Phoenix rookie Johnny Johnson scored two touchdowns for the NFC on runs of 1 and 9 yards. Johnson gave the NFC a 14-6 lead with his sec ond touchdown of the game, with 1:04 remain ing in the third quarter. Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers provided the big play on the drive to the second NFC touchdown, grabbing a pass after Rod Woodsot of the Pittsburgh Steelers hobbled the ballasM tried for an interception. The play covered # yards, and Johnson scored on the next play. Johnson, who rushed for 926 yards thisseaso; despite missing most of three games with an an j kle injury, gave the NFC a 7-3 lead when hedoij over a yard out 43 seconds before halftime. The Los Angeles Rams’ Jim Everett, whore placed San Francisco’s injured Joe Montana oj the NFC roster, completed all six of his passesir the second quarter and directed the SO-yard touchdown drive after taking over for startei Randall Cunningham of Philadelphia. Kansas City’s Nick Lowery’s second field goj of the game, a 43-yarder, pulled the AFC tt within 7-6 midway through the third quarter,af ter Buffalo’s Bruce Smith blocked a field goal in by Andersen.

Germa Horns beat alum team AUSTIN (AP) — There were some big names on the field when the Texas Longhorns played their 7th annual alumni game Saturday in front of 7,253 fans. The current Texas varsity used a 7-run fourth inning outburst to post a 14-9 victory over former UT players who now play profes sionally. Texas Ranger Nolan Ryan, whose son Reid is a freshman pitcher for the Longhorns, threw out the first pitch. Ryan and his teammates will return on April 2 for an exibition with the Longhorns when he will face his son. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens of the Boston Red Sox started the game and pitched to one batter, strik- ingout Calvin Murray. F< •ormer All-American catcher Brian Johnson, who plays in the Cleveland Indian chain, returned to lead the alumnus with three singles and a run batted in.

Haskins also had a home run. Kieshnick (a true freshman), Haskins and Halter (junior col lege transfers) are newcomers to Texas, while Pugh is the defend ing Southwest Conference bat ting champion. The alumni team paraded 15 pitchers and used 30 players in all. Junior righthander Rodney Pedraza was the winner, while two*time All-American Kirk Dressendbrfer was the loser in his first trip back to Disch-Falk Field. Pedraza went two innings and gave up four hits and three runs. Dressendorfer, who is in the Oakland Athletics organization and won 45 games for Texas, lasted only two-thirds of an in ning after surrendering four runs and three hits.

University of Southern Cal players accused of cheating on drug tests LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some Southern Cal football players regu larly cheated on their drug tests, according to a report published Sun day. The Los Angeles Times, citing its own two-week investigation, re ported that some USC football play ers have learned how to get around drug testing by devising elaborate schemes to substitute “clean” urine for their own and also by using masking drugs. The Times began its investigation after former USC quarterback Todd Marinovich was arrested Jan. 20 on charges of misdemeanor cocaine and marijuana possession. At the time of his arrest, Marino vich was on indefinite suspension from the team for not registering for spring semester classes and missing a team meeting. On Friday, he announced that he will pass up his final two years of eli gibility in order to make himself available for the NFL draft in April. Marinovich will be arraigned on the drug charges Feb. 11. Two days after Marinovich’s ar rest in Newport Beach, USC formed a task force to investigate drug test ing at the school. The group, chosen by athletic di rector Mike McGee, has yet to offer any recommendations. McGee acknowledged that he was alerted to a possible cheating prob lem more than a year ago. “We heard in the fall of ’89 that one of our athletes may have cheated on a test — not how it was done,” McGee told the Times. “At that point, we put into motion what we thought were some extra precau- “After Todd’s arrest, 1 receive several phone calls from currents; former student athletes,” Cobbsaic “They felt bad at what happened!

Steinbrenner gave up control of the Yankees last Aug. 20 under an agreement with Fay Vincent. The commissioner had concluded that Steinbrenner acted against the “best interests of baseball” when he made a $40,000 payment to gambler How ard Spira. “I’m still looking for due process and it will be interesting to see what happens,” said Steinbrenner, who still owns the Yankees even though he is barred from running the team. “There are still a lot of questons to be answered and a lot of truth will come out and I’ll be vindicated.
