JANK Thursday • September 1, 1994 SPORTS The Battalion • Page 13 Sampras playing well despite long absence NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Sampras’ first match in six weeks, a no-sweat quickie against a no-serve qualifier at the U.S. Open, proved he can beat some players vir tually in his sleep, on crutches, maybe in a wheelchair. Winning the title again is another matter. Sampras, No. 1 by far in the rankings af ter capturing four of the last five Grand Slams, dismissed No. 206 Kevin Ullyett 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 Wednesday in 1 hour, 25 minutes — one of the shortest men’s matches so far. Whether it was the rain clouds threatening or his ankle worrying him, Sampras wasted no time getting this little test out of the way. The best part of it for Sampras was that he didn’t feel pain in his left ankle, inflamed with tendinitis since he injured it during a Davis Oilers continued from Page 9 “The No. 1 thing now is we’ve got to talk about, discipline,” Fisher said. “We can’t beat ourselves with dumb penalties. We’ve got to use our heads. This club has a tradi tion of being penalized a lot. We’ve got to clean that up.” The cleanup likely will include a rotation system at right defensive end. Williams was supposed to become a starter, but slow progress from offseason knee surgery forced the Oilers to waive him last week. Former Steeler Kenny Davidson will start at left end and and converted line backer Lamar Lathon, veteran Keith Mc- Cup match right after he won Wimbledon. He served as hard as ever — up to 125 mph — though as a right-hander his left foot is the one he plants and comes down on when he serves. He yielded only one point on serve in the first set. His groundstrokes were crisp and accurate, especially in that opening set when he made only two unforced errors. But Sampras also exhibited some slowness and rust, which was to be expected. He didn’t attack the net the way he usually does, and he refrained from chasing every ball. He didn’t have to go all-out, so he didn’t bother. Sampras, who was given the first two days off, decided not to take a cortisone shot for his ankle because of worries about the long-term damage it could cause. Instead, he took anti-inflammatory pills, and after the match used ice and electrical stimulation to Cants and No. 1 draft pick Henry Ford will work on the right side. The secondary is the Oilers’ strength, headed by All-Pro safety Marcus Robertson and cornerback Cris Dishman. Carlson will preside over an altered of fense that now includes two backs on occa sion and some tight end alignments. The run-and-shoot is still the primary offense, but it’s not the same for Haywood Jeffires, part of the “Fab Four” starting wideouts. “That was a special time here,” Jeffires said. “The nickname went for all of us. It was not an individualized thing.” Only Jeffires and Ernest Givins remain. Drew Hill moved to Atlanta and retired and Curtis Duncan was waived before the season started. keep the swelling down. “I’m doing everything I can not to feel it,” he said, walking away from the Nation al Tennis Center more than two hours af ter the match. His next opponent Thursday, No. 54 Daniel Vacek, should give him more of a test, and down the road in their quarter of the draw looms Andrei Medvedev. “I hope it won’t be a problem,” Sampras said of playing two consecutive days. “There’s a chance (the ankle) might be sore.” Medvedev, No. 8, advanced easily Wednesday, beating Gilbert Schaller 6-3, 6-4, 6-0. No. 10 Alberto Berasategui was upset by Marcos Ondruska 6-1, 2-6, 6-3, 6- 3 and No. 14 Yevgeny Kafelnikov beat Jac- co Eltingh 7-6 (7-4), 7-5, 6-3. Tight end Pat Carter is making his pres ence felt in the Oilers lineup. “The tight end has fit in naturally, and the players haven’t faced an extraordinary amount of learning something new,” assis tant head coach Kevin Gilbride said. “I feel good about Pat Carter and what he’s doing for the team. He gives us an answer to prob lems we’ve had in the past.” The Oilers expect the tight end to help scoring inside the 20, a problem for the run- and-shoot. It didn’t work out too well in pre season, however. The offense scored six touchdowns in five exhibition games, overworking kicker A1 Del Greco, who converted 13 of 15 field goals, in cluding 11 in a row. Baseball Is Life.
