Kelly riddles NFC as AFC wins Pro Bowl
HONOLULU (AP) — Jim Kelly had a better
Sunday to finish off the 1990 NFL season.
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.

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.

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-

“The communist nations won’t be

he said. “It’s different when you
have to pay as you go.”
Steinbrenner, speaking during a
breakfast interview prior to a meet
ing of the USOC board of directors,
hinted he would be making further
moves against the baseball commis
sioner’s office.
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. The media
will get the truth and we’ll see it.

Player survives wind, rain and Trevino to win RCC
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) — Gary Player overcame
a stiff wind, occasional rain and surges by Bob Charles
and Lee Trevino to win the Royal Caribbean Classic by
two shots with a 3-under-par 68 Sunday.
Player, who began the day with a two-stroke lead, set
a tournament record with his total of 13-under 200. He
collected $67,500 for his 16th Senior Tour title.
Despite the inclement weather, Trevino and Charles
each shot a closing 66. They shared second place with
Chi Chi Rodriguez at 11 under par.
Charles birdied six of the first 12 holes to briefly
forge a tie at 12-under. Player then dropped short bir
die putts at the 11th and 14th holes, and Charles missed
a 3-foot putt to bogey No. 15 and fall three shots be
hind.
Trevino, who rallied from five shots back with three
holes left to win last year’s tournament, posted const-]
utive birdies on holes 14 through 16. But hecouldj
no closer than two strokes.
Player’s score on the Links at Key Biscayne broke!
record of 202 set by Lee Elder in 1988, the second)®
of the tournament. The $460,000 tournament is
first full-field event of the senior season.
