Three ways to
beat the hish
cost of college.
1. The Montgomery Cl Bill
2. Student loan repayment
3. Part-time income
The Army Reserve Alternate
Training Program is a smart way to pay
for college.
First, if you qualify, the
Montgomery GI Bill can provide you
with over $9,000 for current college
expenses or approved vo/tech training.
Second, if you have—or obtain—a
qualified student loan not in default, you
may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per
year or $1,500, whichever is greater, up
to a maximum of $10,000. Selected mili
tary skills can double that maximum.
Third, you can earn part-time
money in college, and here’s how it
works: One summeryou take Basic
Training, and the next summeryou
receive skill training at an Army school.
You’ll earn over $2,000 for Basic and
even more for skill training. Then you’ll
attend monthly meetings at an Army
Reserve unit near your college, usually
one weekend a month plus two weeks a
year. You’ll be paid over $118 a weekend
to start. It’s worth thinking about. Give

Tyson beats Savarese
in 38-second fight
GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) —
Mike Tyson did not bite, nor did he
punch after the bell.
Instead, he hit Lou Savarese twice
after the referee had stopped what
was the third-shortest fight of the for
mer heavyweight champion's career
and seventh victory achieved in less
than one minute.
Then he turned his sights — and
rage — on Lennox Lewis.
After dispatching Savarese in 38
seconds on a cold, rainy night at
Hampden Park, Tyson said that,
should he fight the current heavy-
. weight champion, "I'll rip his heart
out and feed it to him."
That is also against the Marquis of
Queensberry rules.
In fact, Tyson's next foe is uncer
tain, but there appears to be a short
list of possibilities — one that does
not include Lewis.
"I really haven't thought about
it," said Jay Larkin, who runs boxing
for Showtime, when asked who
might be Tyson's next opponent, but
second-round stoppage of Julius
Francis on Jan. 29 at Manchester,
England, indicated he does not want
to be involved with Tyson again.
There were reports that Tyson al
legedly attacked Warren in a dispute
over who should pay for some jewel
ry Tyson purchased in London in
January. Tyson denied the reports,
while Warren would not comment.
Warren, absent from Glasgow' for
most of the week, attended the fight,
and there appeared to be a redness
around his right eye.
Warren said 40,000 tickets were
distributed for the fight, but 20,0(10
were returned. There had been
doubts the fight would happen right
up to the day of the match.
There were questions about
Tyson's mental and physical condi
tion, and Tyson said he had trained
only three weeks. His training
been interrupted for several days so
he could attend the funeral of Darryl
Baum, a friend who was murderedin
Brooklyn, N.Y., two weeks ago.

he did mention Andrew Golota.
Golota twice was disqualified
against Riddick Bowe for repeated
low blows, and he bit Samson Pou'ha.
on the shoulder.
Tyson, of course, was disqualified
for biting Evander Holyfield's ears,
and his fight against Orlin Norris was
declared a no-contest when Norris
could not continue after being
knocked down after the bell ended
the first round.
Two referees might be required
for a Tyson-Golota match.
Tyson appeared at a post-fight
news conference only because he
went through the wrong door. He
quickly turned around and returned
to his hotel, and left Glasgow Sunday
morning to fly to Phoenix.
While Tyson predicted he would
do terrible things to Lewis, who
fights Francois Botha July 15 at Lon
don, he said before leaving the ring,
"I am not ready for Lennox Lewis. Of
course, he wants to fight me right
now. 1 am not ready yet. I need more
training. I am rusty."

Tyson then moved around the ref

He quickly got up and pushed Tyson
away as cornermen rushed into the
ring. The crowd booed, not because
of Tyson's actions but because the
fight was over.
"He was terrifying/' Larkin said
"It was terrifying display of power,/
display of relentlessness."
Savarese, who will turn 35]uly

fights, but he still was expectedto
give Tyson a better fight than Fran
cis had. He never had a chanceto
get started, and went to a hospital
after the bout for treatment of a left

when he fell.

Players prepare for Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — It is a busy
night at a neighborhood Indian restaurant, and
waiter Sadek Salam says such celebrities as Andre
Agassi, Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport
are frequent customers during Wimbledon.
Smiling, Salam adds: "I hope Lindsay wins."
Long overlooked on the women's tour,
Davenport has finally developed a fan following.
All it took was three Grand Slam titles and an
Olympic gold medal.
SAMPRAS
She still can not rival Anna Kournikova or the Williams sis
ters in publicity or popularity, but Davenport will attract plenty
of attention as the defending champion when Wimbledon begins
Monday. And she knows it.
"There are many different emotions compared to previous
years," Davenport said. "Wimbledon holds pretty special memories
for me now, but at the same time, there's a lot of added pressure.''
Four players have won the women's championship in the past
four years. Davenport's foremost threats in her bid for consecu
tive titles include the top-seeded Hingis, French Open champion
Mary Pierce and the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena.
Do not discount Kournikova, the favorite with the London
tabloids. She is unseeded and has yet to win a tournament, but
she reached the semifinals in 1997 at 16, and her game is well
suited for grass.
The seeding system was a topic of complaint Sunday by
Spaniards Alex Corretja and Albert Costa, who threatened to
boycott the tournament because they were not among the 16
seeded men, even though both are ranked in the top 15.
Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam event that does not follow
the ATP rankings in determining seedings.
No one argLied that Pete Sampras did not deserve to be seed
ed No. 1. He will bid for his seventh Wimbledon title and a
record 13th Grand Slam championship beginning Monday
against Jiri Vanek.
Sampras cut short a practice session Friday when he felt a
twinge in his troublesome back, raising doubts about whether it
can hold up for two weeks in Wimbledon weather.
But he was back on the practice court Sunday, hit for an hour
and said his back was ready for the tournament.
"It gets stiff," he said. "We've had a lot of cold, damp weather
the past few days. ... It's just a matter of doing my stretching and
warming up to be 100 percent."
At 100 percent, Sampras would be tough to beat. He's 46-1 at
the All England Club in the past seven years, a record Davenport
can appreciate as well as anyone.
