David Veres (2-2) pitched a perfect eighth for the win, and John Hudek worked the ninth for his sixth save. Houston starter Greg Swindell scattered nine hits over seven innings. Jeff Bagwell’s 12th homer, a two-run shot in the first, gave the Astros a 2-0 lead. The Astros added an un earned run in the fourth.

McDowell and Rusty Greer each had two-run singles off Jaime Navarro (2-5) in the first inning for the Rangers. McDowell added a sacrifice fly in the third, scoring Jose Canseco, who had doubled lead ing off the inning. Manny Lee followed with an RBI single, dri ving in Dean Palmer, who had singled and taken second on a passed ball, for a 6-2 lead. Palmer went 3-for-4 and scored twice David Hulse made it 7-2 when he led off the fourth with a triple and scored on Will Clark’s single. That chased Navarro, who faced just 21 batters and gave up seven runs, six of them earned, on 10 hits in 3 1-3 in nings.

As Ro driguez wait ed, two play ers from Kansas tied his score, re sulting in the need for the tie breaker. Matt Gogel, John Hess and Rodriguez Rodriguez took their places at the 418-yard, par four fourth hole with Rodriguez tee ing off first. After a perfect tee shot, Ro driguez brought his 181-yard drive to within 20 feet of the hole. He pulled his putt a foot and a half left of the hole, and tapped in his final putt for par, placing the pressure on Gogel and Hess. Both players bogied, giving Rodriguez the NCAA berth he was striving for. The last time A&M qualified for the NCAA tournament was in 1987. Ellis has taken his team to the championships 12 times in his 20 seasons with A&M, but Rodriguez is the first Aggie to ever qualify for an in dividual bid. “I’m really excited about the opportunity to play in this year’s tournament,” Rodriguez said Monday. “I played nine holes today, and I’m feeling re ally confident.” Rodriguez has yet to win a college tournament, but Ellis said he is a very consistent golfer and is playing better than ever. He does not expect Ro driguez’s lack of tournament wins to affect his performance in the championship. “There’s no question of An thony’s potential to be the champion,” Ellis said Monday. “If you don’t learn something every day, you’re going back wards, and Anthony is always trying to learn and improve.” ESPN will televise the sec ond round of the NCAA Cham pionship Thursday at 2 p.m. and the final round live Satur day at 3:30 p.m. Rockets Continued from Page 3 championships. But with the stars of those teams — Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan — all retired, and this is a year in which someone else has a chance to take over the league. Houston started the game with a barrage of 3-pointers. Maxwell had four in the 8 1/2 minutes and Horry made two. Horry also had a pair of dunks and three free throws for 13 points, and the Rockets shot 67 percent for the quarter. Only two or three shots were contest ed by Utah, and Houston had 11 assists in the quarter for a 33-20 lead. In the second quarter, Hous ton started with a 12-4 run in which no shot was longer than 15 feet. The Rockets held Utah to 15 points in the period for a UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — A1 Arbour, who coached the New York Islanders to four Stanley Cups in 19 seasons, is expected to retire Wednesday and be replaced by assistant Lorne Henning. The Islanders, swept by the New York Rangers in the first round of the playoffs, scheduled a news conference for Wednes day and said Arbour, general manager Don Maloney and sev eral former Islanders stars would attend. The team did not mention Henning when it called the news 53-35 halftime lead. Utah got within 56-42 early in the third as they started the quarter with a 7-3 run, but Houston came right back with a 10-4 run capped by Maxwell’s fifth 3-pointer to increase the lead to 22 again, 71-49. It got to 26 with 36 seconds left on Olaju- won’s falling turnaround from the corner, and when the score- board read 79-55 after three quarters. But Utah had 16-0 run mid way through the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to 83-75. Hous ton went 5:21 without a point before Olajuwon scored on a jumper. Horry made a toma hawk dunk with 1:32 left and Kenny Smith made four foul shots in the next 30 seconds to get the lead back to 11 with a minute left. Houston now has a week off while the Knicks and Pacers batter each other out East. The Rockets got here by beat ing two of the teams that tried unsuccessfully to bring the West its first title since the 1987-88 rrrrM’t-.’p whfr*:$ryi . U conference, although a source fa miliar with the situation said Henning would be getting the coaching job. Arbour, 61, leaves the Is landers as the NHL’s second winningest coach with 781 victo ries in 22 seasons. He ranks only behind Detroit Red Wings’ Scot ty Bowman (880). He coached the Islanders to the Stanley Cup in 1979-80, 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83. In past weeks, rumors have circulated that Arbour would be stepping down following a sub season. The Portland Trail Blaz ers, losers to Detroit in 1990 and Chicago in 1992, dropped a best- of-5 series 3-1. The Phoenix Suns, runners-up to Michael Jordan and the Bulls last sea son, were outlasted 4-3 in a great semifinal series. The Rockets have a history of success in Game 5 of the West ern Conference final. In 1986, they beat the Lakers in five games on Ralph Sampson’s buzzer-beating shot at the Fo rum. And in 1981, Houston beat the Kansas City Kings 4-1, win ning the last game at Kansas City. Among Houston’s possible fi nal-round opponents, the Knicks are a team that has been with out a championship since 1973. The Pacers, before this year, hadn’t even won a single playoff series since joining the league in the 1976 ABA-NBA merger. One of them will have to face a team that looked almost invin cible, at least for most of one night. par season, finishing 36-36 with 12 ties for 84 points and fourth in the Atlantic Division. Ar bour’s current coaching stint started with the 1988-89 season. He was a former player and then coach with the St. Louis Blues. Arbour’s teams won 123 playoff games, also second all- time to Bowman. A 12-year NHL veteran as a player, Arbour was a defense- man on three other Stanley Cup winners, Detroit in 1954, Chica go Blackhawks in 1961 and Toronto Maple Leafs in 1964. Sanders Continued from page 3 stop him, you can only hope to contain him. He’s “Prime Time,” baby. But despite their loss, the Braves did gain a two- time All-Star in Roberto Kelly. The right-handed outfielder will give the Braves solid leadoff speed and power. But is he the same explosive leadoff threat as Sanders? Braves general manager John Schuerholz thinks so. “We wanted to balance our line-up with another right-handed hitter,” Schuerholz said. So basically, John, you’re giving up “lightning speed” because he’s left-handed. Okay, you’re the boss. Don’t worry about all of those mean ole’ right-hand ed pitchers who eat right- handed hitters for lunch. And forget about Deion’s flare’ for tying up those .-same pitchers. > '- - 1 Well, chalk one up for baseball drama. We’ll see these two clubs battle it out down the stretch, with their new dolls vying for playoff glory. Roberto Kelly is an es tablished player with good numbers, and he will pro duce for Atlanta. But I think Cincinnati pulled a fast one on the Braves. They got the man...Neon Deion. But what do I know? After all, I’m just a simple baseball fan, so trades frighten and confuse me. Rangers blow lead in race for Stanley, fall to Vancouver NEW YORK (AP)-The Rangers are seeking their first title since 1940 but keep mak ing things hard on themselves. For the second straight game and the third time in eight games, they blew a one- goal lead in the final minute of regulation. This time, Martin Gelinas scored for Vancouver with exactly a minute to go, hacking in a rebound that Richter appeared to have in his pads. Bure extended his playoff point-scoring streak to 16 games despite being bottled up almost all game by the Rangers. Alexei Kovalev twice faked out Vancouver defenseman Dave Babych to set up Steve Larmer’s goal 3:32 into the game. Richter made the lead stand until Bret Hedican scored on a rebound at 5:45 of the third pe riod. Kovalev put the Rangers up 2-1 at 8:29 of the third when he took Leetch’s cross-ice pass and wristed a shot from the left faceoff circle over McLean’s shoulder. Gelinas fought off a check from New York defenseman Jeff Beukeboom to tip the puck off Richter’s body to send the game into overtime. The Rangers outshot Van couver 14-3 in the first half of overtime but McLean made outstanding saves against Sergei Zubov, Larmer, Mark Messier, Adam Graves and Stephane Matteau. Courier ends Sampras’ Open hopes French Open quarterfinals dash thoughts of fourth Grand Slam PARIS (AP) — Jim Courier ended Pete Sam pras’ bid for a fourth straight Grand Slam title with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory Tuesday in the French Open quarterfinals. The result killed Sampras’ hopes of becoming the first man since his idol Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four Grand Slam titles. “This definitely adds to the hurt,” Sampras, the No. 1 seed and world’s top-ranked player, said. “To win four in a row would have been something written about for a lot of years.” “The clay limited my serve and helped out his forehand,” said Sampras, limited to four volley winners. “I should have attacked and come in more. I felt I had my chances. It just came down to not playing the big points well enough.” Asked the difference from their previous matches, Courier said, “I put clay on the court to day. I was in a lot more rallies and I was able to be the dictator rather than the person being dic tated to.”‘T’ve proven to myself that I can win on clay,” Sampras said. “I think I can win here one year. I really believe that. I’m getting better each year.” “It would be a great opportunity for Pete to win four in a row,” Courier said. “But I think he knows and we all know that it’s still not a real Grand Slam. It would have been a little different if we were at the finals of a U.S. Open with one match to go.” “It’s certainly a good one for my head,” he said. “It’s been a long time since I’ve won a big match like this. It’s been a long time since I beat the No. 1 in the world ... But I don’t want to get over-excit ed because I still have to come back and get busy again on Friday.” The seventh-seeded Courier will clash in the semifinals against No. 6 Sergi Bruguera. The Spaniard, who hasn’t lost a set so far, beat No. 4 Andrei Medvedev 6-3, 6-2, 7-5. The other men’s semifinalists will be deter mined Wednesday when No. 5 Goran Ivanisevic plays Alberto Berasategui and Magnus Larsson faces Hendrik Dreekmann. In women’s play, defending champion Steffi Graf and No. 12 Mary Pierce powered into a semi final matchup. Graf trounced Ines Gorrochategui 6-4, 6-1, while Pierce routed Petra Ritter 6-0, 6-2 to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal. No. 2 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario held off Julie Halard 6-1, 7-6 (8-6) to earn a semifinal berth against fellow Spaniard and No. 3 Conchita Mar tinez, a 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 winner over No. 16 Sabine Hack. “I had a pretty solid idea of what I wanted to do out there, and through the ups and downs of the match, I was able to stick with it,” Courier said. The first set was decided on a double fault by Sampras that gave Courier a break in the third game. Courier saved one break point in the eighth game before serving out the set with one of his patented inside-out forehand blasts. Sampras found his range and broke Courier three times to win the second set. Now, Sampras’ coach, Tim Gullickson, was imploring, “Keep it go ing, Pistol!” Sampras stayed even with Courier until what proved to be the turning point of the match: the ninth game of the third set. Sampras was up 40- 15 on his serve, but he played passively and Courier fought back to break for a 5-4 lead. Couri er then served out the set, finishing with an ace. The two were even on serve in the fourth set until Courier, taking advantage of a double fault on game point, broke Sampras for a 4-3 lead. Three games later, Courier served out the match at love, with Sampras hitting a backhand serve return wide on the final point. Bruguera used his relentless baseline game to wear down Medvedev. Bruguera averted three sets points in the 10th game of the third set. He said he played “great” tennis but still doesn’t feel as confident as he did last year.
