The 23rd-ranked Texas A&M
vomen’s tennis team fell to No. 21
Irigham Young University 6-3
londay.
Due to wet courts at the Omar
Smith Tennis Center, the teams
ilayed the singles matches at the
loyal Oaks Racket Club, and re
turned to Omar Smith for doubles
after the courts dried.
Ninth-ranked Lynn Staley im-
aroved her overall standing to 16-4
vith a straight sets win in the No. 1
jingles match, 6-3, 6-4. Although
Staley ovensowered her opponent,
phe had to fight back from a 0-3 defi
cit to win the second set.
“I felt confi-
lent today,”
Jitaley said, “but
I was worried

“I hit a slump in the second set. I
think I was waiting on her to make
mistakes and give up easy points and
she wasn’t.”
Although she won comfortably,
Staley said she needed coaching to
do so.
“Coach (Bobby Kleinecke) saw
that I was stressing,” she said, “so he
came out and helped me get my fo
cus again, and I went from there.”
Still, Kleinecke had nothing but
praise for Staley.
“Lynn has the talent to play with
anybody,” Kleinecke said. “Lynn’s
getting getting better and better with
each match.
“That was a good player she beat
out there today.”
Senior Tami Agassi pulled off a
hard-fought win playing second
seed, but those were the only two
wins in singles play that the Lady
Aggies could muster.
“I played a good match and I was
really happy about it,” Agassi said.
“It’s the toughest one I’ve played so
far this year.”
Kleinecke said he felt the girls
competed extremely well and that all
the matches were really close.
Staley defeated Evica Koljanin 6-
3, 6-4.
Agassi overcame Sarah Mugnaini
7-5, 4-6, 6-3.
BYU’s Jennifer Holmes defeated
u
No. 3 Lady Aggie Cindy Churchwell
6-3,7-5.
Janine Burton-Durham played a
tough match for the Aggies, but
eventually fell to Lesley Barbour 6-3,
4-6, 4-6.
Lady Aggie fifth seed Jenny Graf
was overpowered by BYU’s Fredrica
Lentini 4-6, 2-6.
Anna Schlumpf, No. 6 for the Ags
fought hard but fell to Monika Kobi-
likova 5-7, 5-7.
The Lady Aggies went into dou
bles play trailing 4-2, but only the
team of Staley/Burton-Durham
picked up a win.
“Doubles-wise we’re a little weaker
than what we need to be,” Kleinecke
said. “We needed a match like this to
show us where we stand in doubles.”
Staley/Burton-Durham struggled
with the team of Koblikova/Koljanin
but came out on top 4-6, 6-2, 7-5.
The team of Church well/Graf fell
to Barbour/Lentini 2-6, 1-6.
BYU’s Holmes/Robinson defeated
the team of Agassi/Schumpf 3-6, 4-6.
Klei«ecke praised BYU.
“They were an excellent team,
solid all the way down the lineup,”
Kleinecke said. “I was very proud of
the way all our girls hung in there.
It’s really the first tough match that
they’ve played.”

Georgetown, once the beast of the Big East, has fallen on hard times
Lu'ly. Consecutive conference losses last week to Connecticut and Seton
Hall sent the Hoyas into a free fall in The Associated Press college basket-
ballpoll Monday, down seven notches from No. 18 to No. 25.
| Seton Hall used victories over Georgetown and Pittsburgh last week to
Squeeze into No. 24, the only new team in the poll this week. The Pirates
replaced Texas, which split two games last week and slipped out of the
rankings.
f Defending national champion UNLV remained unbeaten with two
more victories last week, running the Rebels’ record to 22-0 and keeping
them the unanimous choice for No. 1 with a clean sweep of the 63 votes,
i Ohio State’s double overtime victory over Indiana may have made for
great basketball theater but it had little impact on their places in the poll,
■'he Buckeyes (22-1) remained No. 2 with 1,501 points, and the Hoosiers
(22-3) are still No. 4 with 1,347. Squeezed between those two is Arkansas
(25-2), which recovered from its loss to UNLV to punish Texas Tech by
18 points and Texas Christian by 33 last week.
I After the unchanged first four, the poll experienced a severe shakeup
with just one team, No. 22 Pittsburgh, unchanged from last week.
I Syracuse (22-3), which went over 100 points in victories over Provi
dence and Boston College last week, improved from No. 7 to No. 5, and
North Carolina (19-4) also moved up two places to No. 6 after beating
Wake Forest and Maryland. But a loss to Wake Forest cost Duke (22-5)
two places, down from No. 5 to No. 7.
Kansas (19-4) climbed three notches from No. 11 to No. 8 after beat
ing Missouri and Kansas State, while Arizona (20-5) tumbled from No. 6
to No. 9 after losing to unranked Georgia Tech. Utah (24-2) jumped four
places to No. 10 following wins last week against Wyoming and Brigham
goung.
} The Second Ten is Southern Mississippi, Kentucky, East Tennessee
State, Nebraska, New Mexico State, Oklahoma State, UCLA, St. John’s,
LSU and Virginia.

Jazz clobber
Spurs 104-81
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — San
Antonio coach Larry Brown didn’t
have any problem figuring out just
what went wrong in Monday’s lop
sided loss to Utah.
“When you play against John
Stockton, you are playing against the
best,” Brown said.
Stockton had 18 points and 18 as
sists as the Jazz rolled past the Spurs
104-81, moving into a tie with San
Antonio for the Midwest Division
lead.
While praising Stockton, however,
Brown refused to blame his back-
court crew.
“I don’t think you can fault Avery
(Johnson) or Clifford (Lett),” he said
of the pair who shared point guard
duties with veteran Paul Pressey in
the absence of injured starter Rod
Strickland.
“San Antonio is one of the class
teams in the league,” said Karl Ma
lone, who led Utah with 26 points
and grabbed 16 rebounds. “You
shouldn’t have a hard time getting
up to play a team of the Spurs’ cali
ber.”
Thurl Bailey had 17 points for
Utah, which had six players scoring
in double figures.
David Robinson led the Spurs
with 26 points. The only other San
Antonio player to score in double
digits was Sean Elliott with 12 points.
“I thought our guys came out and
played as well as they have all year
long,” Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said.
“Everybody was involved in our de
fense and everybody was alive and
that was a really big part of the ball-
game.”
The Jazz broke away late in the
first quarter and built a 55-39 lead at
the half.
The Spurs scored the first basket
of the second half, but that was as
close as they could get.
Karl Malone scored 11 points in
the first quarter, in which Utah and
San Antonio took turns producing
scoring runs.
The jazz went on a 14-2 run to
lead 14-6, and San Antonio briefly
regained the lead with an 11-2 spurt.
Utah went ahead for good by ending
the quarter with a 10-2 run for a 26-
19 lead.
San Antonio pulled within 26-25
early in the second period, but
Stockton’s nine points and five as
sists powered a 26-6 burst and Utah
led by 16 at the half.
The Jazz stretched the advantage
to 69-46 with 4:15 gone in the third
quarter, and the advantage was 77-
61 going into the final period.
With 4:43 to play, Utah built its
biggest lead at 94-69, and the Jazz
substituted freely.

And
Daly’s deeds rewarded with Olympic post
By The Associated Press
1 To get to Barcelona, start in Punxsutawney, Pa.
I That was the route Chuck Daly took, beginning his basketball coach
ing career in a town best known for its resident groundhog. The trail
wound through a couple of college coaching pit stops, four years as an
NBA assistant at Philadelphia, a brief less-than-brilliant stop in Cleveland
and a longer, much better one at Detroit.
Now Chuck Daly gets the reward for all those practices, all that stomp
ing along sidelines, all that yelling at referees. He will coach the 1992 U.S.
Bplympic team, a club that could have Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan
in the backcourt, Patrick Ewing in the middle, maybe Karl Malone and
(Charles Barkley on the wings.
I “It could be fun,” Daly decided.
| Fun? It might be coaching nirvana, like landing in the proverbial pot
of jam. So, uh, coach, what system do you think you’ll use?
“I will adapt to the personnel,” Daly said, his eyes twinkling as he
thought about the possibilities. “I’ve coached at every level in every way
and that’s how I’ve always done it. You do what the personnel does best.
You tailor a system to their skills.”
Daly started coaching in Punxsutawney, where he earned $3,600 a
year — “$3,000 for teaching, $600 for coaching,” he said.
He moved to Boston College and Penn, to the NBA, first as an assis
tant, then as head man at Cleveland, where he went 9-32 in his first pro
head job, and finally to Detroit, where his Pisto ing on winning a third
consecutive NBA championship. The Olympic assignment is the last piece
of his personal puzzle.
“I think anyone who has an opportunity like this sees that it’s a once in
a lifetime opportunity,” he said. “If you’re a (coaching) lifer, it’s the ulti
mate dream. And I am a lifer.”
iWLAF teams draft quarterbacks, receivers
| ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Brent Pease, who
spent two years with the Houston Oilers and part
of a season in Canada, was the first quarterback
selected in the World League of American Foot
ball draft by the Birmingham Fire.
I Former Notre Dame quarterback Tony Rice,
perhaps the best-known player available, went on
the second round, the 16th player taken overall.
He was selected by Barcelona. Rice finished
fourth in the 1989 Heisman Trophy voting.
The new league, which opens its season March
23, is conducting position-by-position drafts in
preparation for training camps that begin Mon
day.
E Pease got his chance with Houston as a re
placement player in the 1987 strike.
Another strike replacement, Kevin Sweeney,
was taken second by the Montreal Machine.
Sweeney played for Dallas during the strike and
later for the Cowboys and §an Francisco.
■ Many of the players taken had similar experi
ences.
|| Selected third was Mike Perez, who played
briefly for the New York Giants. He went to the
Frankfurt Galaxy.
He was followed by Mark Maye of North Caro
lina to the Raleigh-Durham Sky hawks; Scott Er-
ney of Rutgers, the Barcelona Dragons; Kerwin
Bell of Florida, the Orlando Thunder; Jason
Garrett of Princeton, the San Antonio Riders;
Ben Bennett of Duke, the Sacramento Surge;
John Witkowski of Columbia, the London Mon-
archs, and Todd Hammel of Stephen F. Austin,
the New York-New Jersey Knights.
All WLAF teams will operate similar no-hud
dle offenses.
“In the National Football League, the quar
terback is responsible for 60-percent of the offen
sive production,” World League president Mike
Lynn said.
“We expect the quarterbacks in our style of
play to account for 70 or even 75 percent of the
offense, so today holds even more significance
for our clubs than you might expect.”
Pease, 26, passed for 3,056 yards and 30
touchdowns in 10 games as a senior at Montana
in 1986. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vi
kings in 1987 before going to the Oilers.
Birmingham coach Chan Gailey said he re
membered Pease’s play with Houston and it was a
factor in drafting him.
“I was on the Denver staff when he quar
terbacked Houston and they beat us in a presea
son game,” Galley said. “I remembered that.
“Brent has worked with wide-open offenses
before, especially with Houston, and that’s the
way we’ll be. He came highly recommended by
coaches who have worked witn him.”
“The league has given me the opportunity to
establish myself as a football player again,” Pease
said. “It’s very exciting for me, as it is for all of
these players.”
Forty quarterbacks were selected in four
rounds of drafting Monday, followed by eight
rounds of wide*'receivers and three rounds of
tight ends. Yhe draft continues with defensive
linemen Wednesday and linebackers Friday, con
cluding with defensive backs on Sunday.
Raleigh-Durham chose the first wide receiver
of the draft, Clarence Seay, a 5-foot-9, 166-
under from Texas-El Paso, who also returns
icks.

Throw him in with the lions and

He may end up as a pro quar

Preston should be right there if
anything happens to Bucky Richard

has to make the right decision this
time if Bucky gets hurt.
Keep an open mind, give Preston
a fair chance in camp, and I believe
that the Cotton Bowl will be ours for
