NFL teams making early playoff bids
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Forget those funny teams that
made the NFL playoffs last year,
like Atlanta and Detroit. Forget
those funny teams like Tampa
Bay that started so well this sea
son.
Less than midway through
the 1992 NFL season, it's become
clear there will be no upstarts in
the playoffs this year.
Oh?
In the NFC, try to get beyond
San Francisco (6-1) and the Big
Three in the East — Dallas (5-1),
Philadelphia (4-2) and Washing
ton (4-2). Add Minnesota (5-1) as
the Central winner and New Or
leans (5-2) as a wild-card and
give Mike Ditka a chance to will
Chicago (3-3) in from the fringe
and you've got it.
In the AFC, take Miami (6-0)
and Buffalo (4-2) in the East;
Houston (4-2) in the Central,
Denver (5-2) and Kansas City (4-
3) in the West and add one more
from somewhere (the charging
Raiders, determined Browns or
youthful Steelers).
There are your playoffs.
"I really believe this team has
a chance to get somewhere. And
I mean all the way," coach Marty
Schottenheimer of the Chiefs
said after his team lost 17-10 in
Dallas. "We're just missing on
little things."
That loss dropped Kansas
City a game behind Denver in
the AFC West. But they're an im
pressive 4-3, three losses on the
road by a total of 11 points — at
Houston (in overtime), to a John
Elway comeback at Denver, and
in Dallas.
In fact, the 11 teams likely to
make the playoffs have 20 losses
among them.
Of those, only two are to rank
outsiders — the Vikings to the 1-
5 Lions, a defeat they avenged
last Thursday, and the Redskins
to the 1-5 Cards, a defeat they
will avenge. Two other defeats
were to the fringe teams —
Houston to Pittsburgh and Buf
falo to the Raiders.
One obvious development in
the last week is the re-emergence
of Washington, where Joe Gibbs
just won't allow any post-Super
Bowl doldrums. Another is the
return to the upper pack by the
Eagles, anointed as this year's
team just two weeks ago after
beating Dallas 31-7.
Washington's 16-12 win over
Philadelphia on Sunday showed
the Redskins' strength and the
Eagles' weakness in the same
place — the offensive line.
Playing without Jim Lachey
and Jeff Bostic, and with Ed Sim
mons hurting, the Redskins jug
gled players, thrust in the untest
ed Mo Elewonibi, and limited
Philadelphia to just two sacks.
The Eagles, meanwhile, whose
front was a question mark, al
lowed five sacks as the Redskins
kept Randall Cunningham under
pressure all day.
"Anytime you can (
cent job against them you®
sider that a success," Gibbssj
"Because the Eagles' lineis;
like anyone else, they're[

Mackovic
seeks redshirt
for Morenz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — Texas coach John
Mackovic says he will seek a
medical hardship ruling for
prized freshman quarterback
Shea Morenz, who tore ligaments
in his right ankle at a party and
could miss the rest of the season.
A favorable decision would
leave Morenz with four years' of
playing eligibility.
Mackovic said NCAA rules de
clare that a player is eligible for a
medical hardship ruling if he suf
fers injury or illness before the
team's sixth game and before he
plays in more than 11 quarters.
He said he didn't think the
rules require the injury be foot
ball-related.
"If I read it all correctly, it ap
pears as if he would qualify,"
Mackovic said. "You domot have
to be injured in a contest.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound
Morenz, a San Angelo Central
graduate, played in only three
quarters against North Texas and
Oklahoma and only the final five
minutes against the Sooners with
out throwing a pass. He complet
ed five of nine passes for 65 yards
with one interception against the
Eagles.
Mackovic said he didn't have
details about how Morenz hurt
his ankle Friday. The quarterback
was outfitted for "a semi-cast" on
Sunday.
"He was carrying somebody or
running down some steps,"
Mackovic said.
"I don't know if he slipped,
but he's not doing too well. I
don't anticipate he would need
surgery. But that's always a possi
bility
"A broken ankle is sometimes
better than this. Whenever you
tear ligaments, an ankle is no dif
ferent than a knee. It can set you
back an extended period of time.
Some people never recover com
pletely."
The injury moves sophomore
Chad Lucas firmly into the No. 2
spot behind senior Peter Gardere
and senior Brent Beauchamp into
the No. 3 position.
Lucas, who has played only in
the second quarter of the North
Texas game, has completed one
pass in five attempts for 13 yards
with one interception.

Reception Immediately Following
UNLV president defends administratioi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS - UNLV Presi
dent Robert Maxson made an im
passioned defense of his adminis
tration Monday while blasting a
"whole campaign of dirty tricks"
he claimed supporters of former
basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian
have waged against the universi
ty-
Maxson, in an appearance be
fore a legislative subcommittee
probing events surrounding
Tarkanian's resignation, lashed
out at those who nave questioned
his credibility and blamed them
for trying to sabotage the univer
sity. Tarkanian is now coach of
the NBA Sari /Antonio Spurs.
"My university has conducted
itself in an ethical, moral way and
I think this is a sad day," Maxson
said in concluding an opening
statement that lasted 1 hour, 40
minutes.
Maxson spent much of the
morning outlining his relationship
with Tarkanian, saying he was
supportive of the former Runnin'
Rebel coach up through the point
last year when Tarkanian agreed
to resign following the publication
of photos showing former players
in a hot tub with convicted sports
fixer Richard Perry.
Maxson accused Tarkanian and
his supporters of then mounting
an orchestrated campaign to dis
credit him and the university. He
said the campaign included
threats to university employees,
forged letters and attempts to get
student leaders to dig up dirt on
the university president.
"Little did I know that within
days of the resignation they
would begin an orchestrated at
tempt to discredit the university
or anyone perceived to be an ene
my of the program," Maxson said.
Maxson denied he had ever
been out to get Tarkanian, citing
letters he wrote in support of the
coach to the NCAA and others
since being named president of
the university in the summer of
1984.
"I never tried to dismantle the
basketball team," Maxson said. "I
never tried to discredit Jerry
Tarkanian."
Maxson was interrupted sever
al times by questions from Assem
blyman Jim McGaughey, who
chairs the three-member subcom
mittee. At one point, McGaughey
refused to allow Maxson's attor
ney, Richard Wright, to respond,
prompting an angry retort from
the university president.
"I would respectfully ask you
not interrupt me," Maxson said.
"I was invited here to make an
opening statement. I would like to
finish my opening statement."
Some 200 people, mostly sup
porters of Tarkanian, crowded
into a meeting room at the Cash-
man Field complex, to hear Max-
son outline his dealings with
Tarkanian and his accomplish
ments since taking over at UNLV.
Maxson said he was proudest
of the academic accomplishments
he has presided over at the uni
versity, which has nearly doubled
Tues
i
in size since he took over.
"UNLV never daimedtc

"We were just workingouiii
nies off to be a good publka

"When I arrived at UNLV,t«
ketball was not at thetopoii
agenda and it's not at thetefi

"But we defended coach Talk

Maxson was the second pen

World Series finally earns its name
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — With maple leafs hanging high,
and all of them right-side up, the World Series
moved Monday across the U.S. border for the first
time and into the SkyDome.
For the Toronto Blue Jays, it will be a welcome re
turn to familiar turf Tuesday night when Juan Guz
man starts Game 3 against Atlanta's Steve Avery.
Sure, they tied the series at one game each with a
5-4 victory Sunday night in Atlanta, but look at all
the Blue Jays had to go through.
First, they watched as baseball committed an in
ternational error by flying the Canadian flag upside
down and then heard the Canadian national anthem
incorrectly sung.
Then, they survived a blown call at the plate. Fi
nally, a problem with their charter flight leaving At
lanta forced a four-hour delay, and the team did not
arrive home until 7:30 a.m.
"At least it was nice to get a win before that hap
pened with the plane," Toronto's John Olerud said
during Monday's workout. "It wasn't that bad, real
ly, and guys weren't getting frustrated like they
might have if we were down 0-2. But still, it was
like, 'You've got to be kidding me.'"
The Marines apologized for the color guard's
gaffe.
"There's no excuse for it," said Toronto third
baseman Kelly Gruber, whose wife is Canadian. "If
the U.S. Marines said the guy wasn't sure which
way it should go, he shouldn't have been carrying
it."
Echoed Dave Winfield: "I don't think it was a
cruel joke, but it was beyond a faux pas. If tomorrow
the American flag was hoisted upside down,"©
there be a mess or a fuss?
"No matter what, you shouldn't let thathapj®
he said. "It's like having dignitaries comingtoffll
home and putting out your old silverware.”
The Braves were busy getting the hang of pW
at a new ballpark for the first time. ^
The artificial turf at the SkyDome is bouncy
even the Toronto outfielders occasionally play
hop singles into doubles.
"I don't think they will have to makeadp 5
ments. There are not many terribly tricky spoti
Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. "Theballcffl#
off the wall true and travels down the lines
a problem. This place is easy to play in and 1 '
Braves are used to turf. They shouldn't have a
lem."
"The only difference is just like anyotherf?
you go into," Braves shortstop Jeff Blauser^
"The other team has its home fans, but youV
that anywhere on the road."
The Blue Jays will have 50,000-plus fans on
side and, this being their first World Series^
game, the usually sedate crowd figures to b
than ever.
And, with the game at the home of the ALc^
pion, Toronto will get to use its regular-season "
up with the addition of the designated hitter.
"I think it's important when you haveCfe 5

them. The veer also calls for
many double-teams, the nose
guard's worst enemy, as well
chop blocks, the knee's worst
nightmare.
With all of that mishmash at
the line of scrimmage, the sec
ond-best group of running backs
in the SWC might be able to
stretch their legs a little bit
against A&M.
Baylor backs Robert Strait,
David Mims, John Henry,
Kendrick Bell and Bradford
Lewis combined for 223 yards on
only 46 total carries in the Bears'
win over Houston Saturday in
Waco. And Joe, like Rice quar
terback Bert Emanuel, scrambles
well and often.
The main man to watch will
be fullback Strait, whose listed
weight of 240 pounds is only 25
or 30 pounds shy of reality. He
carries that girth well, though,
and is the type of back that a few
A&M defenders have admitted
gives them problems.
The threat of Strait doing his
best "Ironhead" Heyward imita
tion up the middle has freed up
tailbacks Mims and Bell this^
to turn on the speed off-tackle
The resemblance of Mims® 1 '
Bell to A&M's tailbacks is
uncanny. The former compatf 5

with no qualms about running
