Joseph Chebet, a runner-up in his previous three marathons, ended his string of second-place finishes by winning Monday’s race in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 52 seconds. Chebet became the ninth straight Kenyan champion, equaling the race record set by U.S. runners between 1916-25 at a time when few foreigners entered the race. There was no individual competition in 1918, only a team race. “Everybody in the world is trying to catch the Kenyans, but they can’t,” Chebet said. The smooth-gliding Roba, the 1996 Olympic gold medalist, eased to victory at 2:23:25, matching the three consecutive titles won by Germany’s Uta Pippig from 1994-96. They are the only two to win three in a row since women officially became part of the race in 1994. While Chebet and Roba over whelmed their opposition, two crowd favorites — defending champion Moses Tanui of Kenya and four-time champion Bill Rodgers — did not finish. Tanui, also the champion in the race’s centennial year in “Everybody in the world is trying to catch the Kenyans r but they can’t.” — Joseph Chebet Boston Marathon winner 1996, apparently was bothered by leg cramps and dropped out near the 23-mile mark. Rodgers, seeking to break the course record for over-50 by an American, dropped out shortly before the 21-mile mark because of dehydration. “I can run the race,” the 51- year-old Rodgers said, “but I can’t push hard for records. I Former Tech star Battie arrested BOSTON (AP) — Tony Battie of the Boston Celtics was arrest ed over the weekend for alleged ly assaulting a police officer, police said. Battie was arrested around 2:20 a.m. on Saturday in front of the Cosmopolitan Club, Boston police spokesperson Sgt. Detective Margot Hill told The Boston Globe. Hill said Battie was asked sev eral times by an officer to move his car, but Battie refused. Battie, who starred collegiately at Texas Tech University, also allegedly refused the officer’s request for identification and tried to drive off when the officer attempted to arrest him. Hill said. The officer’s arm was caught in the driver’s window, Hill said, and the officer was forced to pull his revolver before Battie stopped the car. for me! • ACCOUNTING • CREATIVE SERVICES • ENGINEERING • INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY • OFFICE AND ADMINISTRATIVE • TECHNICAL You're working on your education, let Pro Staff work on your experience.

Jennings, 38, had run the marathon as an unofficial com petitor in 1978 when she was a 17-year-old high school senior and ran about 2:46, a time that would have placed her third. “It was a rough go,” Jennings said. “It’s slower than I thought, but I’m glad I qualified for the Olympic trials.” For Chebet, whose previous two losses were by three sec onds each, this was his third victory. He won the first two marathons he entered, at Amsterdam in 1996 and at Turin, Italy, in 1997. After his heartbreaking losses last year, Chebet said he had to train harder to win again, and this time, he began preparing about two months ahead of his previous schedule. The dogged Chebet took the lead for good just past 22 miles from Ecuador’s Silvio Guerra. Josep of Kenya and Fatuma Roba of Ethiopia were the men’s and women’s winners of the 103rd Boston Marathon. Both took home top prizes of $80,000 each in the men’s and women’s division. Men’s top finishers 111. Joseph Chebet 2:09:52 2. Silvio Guerra 2:10:18 3. Frank Pooe 2:11:37 4. Abner Chipu 2:12:45 5.

A. Kings coach INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — For two months, Larry Robinson had sensed his days as coach of the Los Angeles Kings were numbered. The team made it official Monday when his con tract was not renewed. “When it really hit me was the day Tim (team president Leiweke) came to practice and said if you guys don’t make the playoffs, there’s going to be changes,” Robinson told reporters at the Great Western Forum. The Kings had a 32-45-5 record this season and failed to reach the playoffs for the third time in Robinson’s four years. They were swept by St. Louis in the first round last season, when Robinson was runner-up for NHL coach of the year. “The kiss of death,” he joked. General manager Dave Taylor said he told Robinson before Sunday’s 3-2 loss to St. Louis that he would not be returning as coach. Also out of jobs are assistants Don Edwards, Rick Green and Jay Leach. “I wished I hadn’t asked because it was a long game,” Robinson said. Robinson, 47, was in the final year of a four-year contract. He declined to sign a three-year extension that was offered last September when the team was struggling. He said at that time he was not sure he wanted to continue coaching, which Taylor interpreted negatively. “It was difficult to understand why he didn’t accept the exten sion,” Taylor said during a sepa rate news conference at the Forum. “He was not sure of him self and that has given the wrong image. “The players look to the coach for leadership. For him to have any hesitation is the wrong message back to the players. There was a lot of speculation to Larry’s future all year and that was a distraction to the club.” Robinson, who won six Stanley Cups during a Hall of Fame playing career with Montreal, had a 122-161-45 record in four seasons as coach. He retired as a player with the Kings in 1992, having never missed the postseason in 20 years. “I feel I let myself down,” he said. The team’s fortunes appeared to be on the upswing a year ago when it made a 20-point improvement from the previous season and posted its best record since 1992-93 to finish second in the Pacific Division. But things unraveled this sea son. The Kings lost 25 games by one goal, had one of the league’s worst power plays and lost 335 man-games to injuries or illness. “We lacked consistency, and at times we lacked the work ethic,” Taylor said. “That’s not acceptable.” SEARCH CONTINUED The Texas A&M University Student Publications Board is accepting applications for The Battalion — Including radio and online editions — Fall 1999 (The fall editor will serve from Aug. 16 through Dec. 10, 1999.)
