That's seven more victories to avoid the 100-loss season that is predicted for most expansion clubs. They have long since abandoned any hope of finishing anywhere but last in the NL West, but the Diamondbacks - winners of six in a row and eight of II - suddenly are the National League's hottest team. With left-hander Brian Anderson pitching a three-hitter for his first career shutout, Arizona extended the longest winning streak in its brief his· tory by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 Thursday. The Diamondbacks finished off a three-game sweep of one-run games, holding the slumping Pirates to one run in the final two games arid four in the series. Were the Diamondbacks that good? Or were the Pirates, losers of six in a row, that bad ? · " He (Anderson) is throwing 8586 (mph), he' s throwin~ changeups. and we get, what , three hits?" the Pirates' Kevin Young said. " This is the time of the year you have to suck it up and don 't roll over. You find out how much character you've got." The Diamondbacks (56-85) aren't playing for a pennant. but they could still finish with one of the best records by an expansion club. . By JIM VERTUNO MORGANTOWN. W.Va.

NEW ORI.L\NS SAINTS: Waived WR They've already won more games than the Mets, Padres, Expos and Blue Jays did during their inaugural seasons, and they're two victories ahead of Colorado's pace during a 67-win season in 1993. The Diamondbacks also have more victories than four established teams - including Florida, last year's World Series champions. The obvious reason? Their muchimproved pitching. Omar Daal •. who struck out 12 on Tuesday, has become one of the NL' s most consistent left-handers. And Anderson (11-12), one of the ~ague's best control pitchers, has won three in a row and is 10-6 since starting 1-6. . Anderson struck out four - the first time in six games the Pirates did· n't strike out at least 10 times- but, as usual, he didn't walk any. He has fewer walks (23) than homers allowed (34) and has walked only seven since June 13. "I know I'm prone to giving up some long balls, but I was trying to keep it out of my mind," Anderson said. "I tOld myself if they're going to get me on a home run, it has to be on an aggressive home run. I don't want to baby any pitches." Anderson has pitched · only two other complete games, but he knew he wouldn't get much help from his bullpen. not with manager Buck Showalter determined to rest both Gregg Olson and Willie Banks.

"I made a good pitch to Lofton," said Thompson, who has been supported with just 28 runs in his 13 losses. "He just seemed to stick the bat out. He didn't try to do anything special. That's what makes him such a good leadoff hitter." Thompson pitched almost as well as the rejuvenated Gooden, but not quite . Gooden (7-6) is 5-2 in nine road starts this season and 80-54 in his career. Against the llgers, he went seven innings for the third time this year, giving up five hits and one walk with five striKeouts. "The key thing was I had good control," Gooden said. "In this park, you have to make good pitches. There's nobody in their lineup you can really pitch around. "Believe me, if anyhody says they like pitching in close ballgames, they' re lying." Gooden appeared to get stronger as he went along, getting all his strikeouts from the fifth inning on. "I started feeling my rhythm. apd I started getting the ball over," he said. "I could start being more aggressive after that." Mike Jackson got the last two outs for his 3Sth save in 40 chances. Kimera Bartee singled home Gabe Alvarez in the third for Detroit's only run.

After all, the hits are falling and Cleveland has won four of five games. Lofton's RBI double accounted for both Indians runs and Dwight Gooden won his fourth straight decision in a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night. It was a nice bit of hitting. Even the losing pitcher said so. After singles by Sandy Alomar and Enrique Wilson, Lofton hit an opposite-field double into the leftfield corner that scored both runners. "Right now. everything is falling for me, " "Lofton said. "It's more like I expect thmgs to go. Right now, I'm just trying to stay with what I'm doing instead of changing. "You know, when you're not hit· ling, you're always looking to try something new. You're figuring, 'What have I got to do to get a hit"!' From here on out, !' m not changing a thing." It was an especially good bit of hitting because Justin 'Thompson is a quality !eli-handed pitcher. "Against lefties, I'm more conscious of going the other way." Lofton said. "Thompson threw a cutter that ran away from me. In that situation, I want to put the ball in play. Especially against lefties. that's all I want to do."

One and a half million visi1ors from around lhc world come 10 Ohio each year to tour this unique FREE anrac;ion .

You can walk through President Truman's "!~de­ pendence," fresidenl Eisenhower's "'Colul!lbine,"· with a big blue Hower on the front, or tour President Kennedy's "Air Force One." The hody of Mr. Kennedy and newlysworn President Johnson returned to Washington, D.C. from Dallas 10 1963 aboard this plane. We also experienced two !MAX films - one with lhe Navy's Blue Angels, and one on racing with Mario Andretti . You want thrill s.' Try the theater. The movies arc not free . bul arc well worth 1hc pri ce. Enough about our fun . We d bcltcr get back to Labor ·Day. Whal docs the Bible have 10 say aboul labor? Psalm 104:23 (N IV) says: "Then man goes out 10 his work, 10 his labor until evening." So you work 1hird shift ? The Aposlic Paul told the Thessalonians (3 :8 NIV). "We worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would no1be a burden to any of you." Je sus should always be the standard by which we measure ourselves. He said to His'Father. "I have brought you glory on lhe earth by complclmg 1hc work you gave me to do ." (John 17 :4 NIV) Jesus fini shed Hi s work when He died on the cross for our sin. was resurrec ted and asce nded imo heaven. Father. I pray according 10 I Cori nthians 15:5X. May we always give ourse lves full y to the work of lhe Lord . because we know that our labor in lhC' Lord is not in vain . Thank you for America 's work force .

Call 38 New -. 311 DHpl40 Sicker By Phillip Alder In England. it is traditional to eat fish on a Friday. Do you know how best to cook fish and chips' The play found by declarer on this deal might look fishy to you. Try 10 decide what was going through South's mind. Against the contracl of six spades, ~esl leads the diamond seven. You win with dummy's ace and pull the missing trumps in two rounds. What now? The deal occurred in Tangiers dur· ing a match between the Dallas Aces and France. Nonh 's four dubs was a · splinter bid. showing game values in spades with at most one club. East's double was silly: South's redouble announced the club ace. Over Notth 's four-diamond cue-bid. South used Roman Key Card Blackwood, learn· ing lhnt his panner held three aces. The declarer wa.• John Swanson. who won the Bennuda Bowl in 1977. He had to get rid of either his two diamonds or dummy's solitary diamond (then ruffing his diamonds in the dummy). If !he trumps had been 3-1 or 4-0, declarer would have laken !he hean finesse. But as they were 2-2. he had a pair of chances. Before taking the club finesse, which was surely winning after East's double, Swanson carefully began with a hcan to dummy's ace. When the king . IT dropped. declarer claimed. WAS, I AM YOURS, It is besl to use beer batter for fryP\Y S.TAL· ing fish. And to cook vinualiy fat-free LtOiol OF French fries. dunk your sliced pota· toes into a pan of very hoi fat for only a few seconds. This seals the outside. Then heat them through slowly in less hot fat.

I I I Associated Press Writer . WASHINGTON -A plan to assign every American a lifetime healthcare ID number, similar to a Social Security number. could face new limits under a measure headed for Senate debate. A provision introduced Thursday by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. R-Texas. would prohibit the Health and Human Services Department from going forward with the plan until Congress approves ib specifics. Critics say the system. being developed as part of the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, could invade privacy by opening medical histories to insurers, employers and others. The law guarantees that anyone changing or losing a job would be able to get health insurance, even with a pre-existing medical condition. 'The plan, as HHS intended to carry it forward, raises questions of exces~ive government involvemem and control- not to mention privacy," Hutchi· son said. The Senate A.ppropriations Comminee added Hutchison's amendment to an $g2 billion spending bill funding the Labor. Education and Health and Human Services departments as well as several related agencies for the fiscal year that begins Oct. I. The commiltee approved the overall bill with little debate and sent it to the Senate. But some members said they planned to introduce more controversial issues into the bill during floor debate. including provisions dealing with federal funding of single-sex classrooms and allowing Medicare recipients to go outside the program for care not covered by the plan. President Climon ha~ threatened to veto a matching bill in _the House because it lacks money for some of his favorite programs, such as summer jobs for poor youth and low-income heating assistance. Also Thursday. the Senate resolved a dispute over staffing at the Feder- al Election Commission, clearing the way for passage of a $29.9 billion spending bill funding the Treasury Department and related asencies. The Treasury bill was pulled from the Senate floor in late July because of Democratic objections to a Republican amendment that would have made it easier to remove the FEC's staff director and general counsel. With resolution of the issue, the bill passed 91 -5 Thursday without further debate. Introduced by Sen. Mitch McConnell. R-Ky., the disputed amendment sought to limit to four years the cunenlly open-ended tenms of the two officials and to require approval of four of the FEe's six commissioners before the lenns could be extended. Each party selects three co~issioners. Democrut.s,led by Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, contended the amendment would let one pany remove an offi. cial for no reason and undermine the agency's independence. Under a compromise worked out with Levin. the cunent general counsel and staff director would not have term limits, future service would be set at six years with votes of only three commissioners required to approve an extension. The $27 billion House bill, which passed in July. does not include language on the FEC staffers. Differences will have to be worked out in a HouseSenate conference. The Senate bill, which would increase money for drug enforcemen~ gang resistance and customer service by the Internal Revenue Service, establish· es spending at $7.85 billion fOr the IRS. $1.7 billion for the U.S. Customs Service and $593 million for the Secret Service. Like the House bill, it would freeze salaries for members of Congress but would allow 3.6 percent cost-of-living raises for other federal workm. It also was amended to require federal employee health plans that cover prescription drugs to provide coverage for contraceptives. Clinton earns more flak on Lewinsky apology ..

(AP)- Hurricane Earl didn't touch the "Just A Liule Piece of Paradi11e" sign Louis and Becky Martin hung over the front door of their small beach house on Apalachee Bay.

Three people -a South Carolina woman and two Florida fishermen - were killed. But by mo.t accounts, the hurricane could have been much wor.;e. As it was, the storm flooded waterfront homes and washed out coastal roads. Some 2,000 people acros.< Florida spent Wednesday night in shel· ters and about 20,000 lost power, most of which was restored by night· · fall Thursday. Thou!lllnds wene still without power in South Carolina today. On St. Helena Island, Mary Lou Seabrook, 66, and her daughter were clutching each other when a tornado ripped the walls and roof off her mobile home Thursday. M\\. Seabrook was killed. "We don'tlcnow why one made it and the other didn 't," said Clayton Ellis. chief of the Lady's Island and St. Helena Fire District. Joseph and Mattie Ga.<kins were headed down South Carolina High· way 402 wben they pulled into a driveway to wait out the storm. Sud· denly their pickup was lifted off the ground, turned around and dropped bad down. "All at once I could feel my truck llying and I couldn't see anything." Gaskins said. They weren't hun. Georgia escaped diwter when the hurricane dropped to tropical storm status as it churned through, sparking one tornado that injured five people. Earl did bring heavy rain, which Georgia authorities blamed for traffic accidents that killed four people. including three generations of women in one family. Many farTilCfll said the rain- more! than 7 inches in some places- was too much and too late to help parched crops. But the storm wa• nothing like hurricanes Erin and Opal. which hit the Panhandle three years aso. Erin claimed II lives and Opal killed 27.

Earl came ashore early Thursday around Panama City with 80 mph winds. It wa• still spawning tornadoes several hours later. About 75 miles nonh ofTampa, Steve and Brenda Baldwin and their daughter jumped into their bathtub when they heard a tornado coming at their Citrus County mobile home. The roof was ripped away, leaving them protected only by a sheet of drywall. "Whatever wa~ going to come through would have killed us." Baldwin said. "The trailer was off the ground when we were in the tub. I was just hoping we weren't going to. roll and ... we were going to live."

A much-improved, more-experienced team will take to the field this year under new mentor Scott Christman. A late June flood that inundated the field and even got in the seemingly high-and-dry school. vinually destroyed the East Shade River Stadium, but at press time, games were still slated to be held as scheduled at home. Temporary bleachers have been erected on the visitors side and the goal posts have been repaired. As of Aug.l6, the field was 99 percent din. but constant waterings from area fire departments have produced some greening late in the month . Eastern is coming off two consecutive 1-9 seasons after claiming the league with a 7-3 mark in 1995. Coming off two pocr seasons presents a great challenge for the new first year mentor, who has e<perienced a lot of winning as an assistant at Wahama High School in West Virginia. Ridgewood High School, and Indian Lake High School the past several years. Christman also both went 10 school. and coached at Trimhlc. Overall. Christman has been an assi stanl coach for nine ycar!i and a d~fcnsive coordinator for st< years. Christman will be teaching seventh grade Reading and Language Ans at Eastern Elementary during the 1998-99 school year. Christman replaces Casey Coffey, who took an assistant's job at Lancaster. Coffey recorded a 9-21 mar~ at Eastern in three years and won the 1995 TYC championship (7- ' < Durst and Abc Rach. Durst was the team's Most Outstanding Offensive Back and Rach, the Most Outstanding Defensive Back. Also, gone is top lineman Nathan Radford, the Coach's Award winner; and Jeremy Kehl, Most Improved. Other graduates include Jason Stevens, Lamar Lyons, Wes Sanders, Chris Buchanan, Mike O'Nail, Shaun Long, and David Bigley. Th~ top-returning linemen is most likely senior Billy Schultz, the winner of the Outstanrling Interior Lineman Award last year. Other returnees are senior Josh Hager, Matt Bissell, Adam "Butch" Sanders, Josh Broderick, Wes Crow, Beau Bailey. Joey Dillon, Jarrod Bobb and Jason Warner. Non-letterman seniors hoping to make a difference are Mike Tuttle , Jeremy Casto, J.T. White (who lettered as a sophomore), and Jason Mora. Christman said, "We've got to learn to play hard every play and play hard for all four quarters . A good team will lind your weakness and attack it . If your weak for a couple plays, that might be the differ- ence in a game." Christman said. "Our first goal is to go out and improve each week and work toward the team goals •hat we have set for ourselves. We want to build on our strengths and look to improvement in all aspects of the game." Christman hints that this year's team will be an e.citing team to watch, and as time goes on pemaps a winning team. Christman said .. "We have some quickness and we wtll try to use it to our beneftt. We will run and pass pretty equally. Our quickness and aggressiveness will be a great asset on defense." Eastern will run out of a Pro-set and Pro-! with some Twins and slot alignments.

Eye shields - those popular plas· tic guards that fit inside the helmet and cover the face, giving players a Danh Vader-like appearance - can no longer come in designer colors or be reflective. From now on, they must be transparent. The ruling was reached by not only the NFL. but also the NCAA and the National Federation of State High School Associations, which sets policy and rules follo~ed by lhe Ohio Hi·'h School Athletic Assocmtlon. "since that was the biggest news, it 's apparent the NFL rulebook didn't gain much weight over the offseason. Only two other relatively mmor changes were enacted since the De nver Broncos walked off with last year 's Lombardi Trophy. . . First. a defensive player wnhm a ard or the line of scrimmage cannot Y ma~e an abrupt move in an attempt to . a false start by an offensive c~us~r.

His arm strength has improved and he's begmnmg to take charge on the practice field as a team leader. " said Barr. "He 1s more comfonable with the offense this year. Toward the end of last season , you could see tremen. : dou s progress in every aspect of hi s · . game . We expect great things at our . quarterback position this season."

We expect to split time al the tatlhack position between these; two takntcd runners, " said Barr. Sophomores Matt Warner and Brandon Hill arc coming along nice· ly and will likel y split time filling in the remaining gup nt the slot back position. The biggest area where Southern fans will notice the benefits of an aggrc»i vc offseason weight training program is in the offensive line. All of last season's staning linemen return . with senior guard Jeremiah Johnson (5-9, 26~ lb.) anchoring the front unit . The rest of the offensive line mcludes guard Jesse Little (6-2, 223· pound senior), center Jamie Baker . (5- 10, 210-pound junior), tackle · Willie Collins (5·8, 205-pound : junior). and tackle Tommy Robens : (S-9. 2~pound sophomore). Ryan Hill, Adam Williams and convened lineman Josh Ervin will : lilcel,r be the primary passing wgeu : for Jonathan Evans. Barr expects the .. ·- passing game to continue to be a critical element of the Southern offense. "We feel that Jonathan is going to have more time to throw this season. Hill and Williams have great hands anrl have worked exceptionally hard dUI ing camp. Josh Ervin has adapted w•,'l after movmg from the line to a wiJe out posit1on. His improved speed has been a pleasant surprise," sa1d Barr. Southern will run a 40 defense, anchored by the front four unit of Little , Robens, Josh Distlehorst and Clay Enslen. Matt Ash, Josh Davis and Cumings will hold the linebacker spots for the Tornadoes, while Buster Peni• and Josh Evans could also see playing time in thr middle . The defensive secondary will likely consist of a mix among Boso, Brandon Hill, Ryan Hill, Matt Warner and Josh Evans . Special teams positions are still up for grabs, but the early punting edge goes to Boso or Ryan Hill . Freshman Tyler Johnson appears to be the frontrunner to handle the Southern placekicking chores. The schedule is a balanced one (5 home-5 away), but Barr figures the race for the TYC Hocking Division trtle will possibly be the toughest since the league split to a two division format. Trimble and Miller look to be the teams to beat, due to experience at skill positions and recent runs of success. Barr figures Southern to be in the thick of the TYC title race, but - Good Luck Tee! #9 ,,, .,,,, Jsy& Go ,.ornadaes Go! .......... also e•pects Eastern to make some noise in the race before all is said and done. "I feel that Eastern is going to be much betto·,· than many arc expecting them to be. Overall , the coaching will defiuitely be better. They are the sleeper i. · this Hocking Division," said Barr. "There will be no cake walks in thi s TYC schedule. Every Friday night, we expect to have a dogfight on our hands." Southern has a competitive nonleague schedule, featuring the likes of Ross Southeastern, Huntington Ross, South Gallia, area rival Wahama and TYC Ohio Division .oc Alexander.

A year ago, coach Gary Pinkel's squad soared to No. 18 in lhe nation while winning its first eight games and clinching the Mid-American Conference's West Division title. But lhen lhe Rockets crashed and burned by losing three of their last four by an average margio of 23 points. But wilh 15 starters bark - and the return of injured tailba•:k Wasean Tait after two years of :chab TOLEDO is back and talking like a team wilh a lot to prove. " It was very disaprointing. I don't feel like we accomplished anything, " quanerback Chris Wallace !, ' ' said of the Rockets' 9-3 record, divisional title and trip to the MAC title game. "Our team goal was to win the MAC championship and get to the bowl game and we didn't do that. "We want to get the wbole thing. We want to get to the championship game and win the championship game." There are a lot of people who lhink they will . Toledo received 48 of a possible 62 first-place votes to win the West Division again in media balloting at the MAC's preseason meetings . Marshall, which beat the Rockets 34-14 in the inaugural confe~nce title game, edged Miami of Ohio as the choice in the East Division. Wallace had a record-setting year for the Rockets last season, but the focal point this season has returned to Tait. He rushed for 1,905 yards in 1995 and was the MAC's offensive MVPand a lhird-tearn All-American. White Fa/cons ...

The White Falcons have their work cut out for them on offense where they have three linemen. two wide receivers and the quarterback position to replace .

During spring workouts, however, he practiced wilhout a brace. He has already been penciled in as the starter and is itching for action. "It'll be a great moment when he runs on the field," Pinkel said. Finishing behind Toledo in lhe West balloting was WESTERN MICHIGAN (8-3.

BALL STATE (5-6, 4-4i must f1nd eight new staners on defense, but will be bolstered by lhe presence of eight holdovers on offense. EASTERN MICHIGAN (4-7, 3es for 216 yards and lhree tollchdowns. The senior three sport alhlete has been the Falcons backup signal caller for the past two seasons where he has completed eight of 19 passes. for I 05 yards with one touchdown and one interception. "Russell has the skills to step right in and do the things he has to do at quarterback," Cromley said. "He has practiced that position for two years and has shown a great deal of leadership in helping us develop a backup at the quarterback position. Although not as quick as Mitchell I feel Russell has a chance to put up some impressive numbers throwing the football ," added Cromley. In addition to Russell the WHS coaching staff is currently looking at senior Grant Huff and freshman Brandon Hankinson as possible backup candidates to guide the Falcon offense at Waharna this year. Returning to the Bend Area backfield this season will be senior starters David Tennant (5-11 171) and Grant Huff (5-10 181). Tennant is coming off an outstanding junior year where he led Wahama in scoring (II touchdowns) and rushing · (941 yds) while Huff averaged 4.1 yards per carry while gaining 45 I yaods on the ground for the White Falcons a season ago. Seniors Tyson Reitmire (5-9 146) and C.J. Stocker (5-10 159) are also getting considerable looks to strengthen the White Falcon ground altack in 1998. One of the most enthusiastic battles for staning positions on the WHS offense appears to be at wide receiver where five players are battlin~ for the two startinl! slots. Senior Joel Lloyd (5-10 145) has the inside edge and lhe most game e•perience at one of lhe wideout positions with juniors Robbie Marks (5-6 150) and Johnny McKnight (5-10 145) and freshmen Adam Ri•kard (5-9 141) <lllJ DmnJ11n Hankin s11n (5- Ul 1~11) nil contesting fm the rccci vcr posl. rcm ~1 inin~ 5) has fewer returning starters (7) than any other team in the league, and must travel to defending national champion Michigan on Sept. 19. The Eagles are going to Church Walt Church, that is - to replace depaned QB Charlie Batch. CENTRAL MICIDGAN (2-9, 17) has a lot of seniors back, but few good players. At least the Chippewas don't have to play at Aorida, as they did last year in an 82-6 loss that wasn't as close as the score might indicate. They still were picked ahead of NORTHERN ILLINOIS (0-11. 0-8), which gave up at least 35 points in eight of its games. Jumping to the East, !he big question about MARSHALL going .•no last season was whelher the I''' d belonged in Division I-A. Now the question is: Does the rest of the MAC belong wilh the Herd? "Last year we really had no idea how we'd do in the conference," coach Bob Pruett said. "We went in hoping we'd be competitive and have a good football team . Fortunately, we were able to be successful." Leading the Herd (10-3 , 7- 1) was wide receiver Randy Moss. who was (ourlh in lhe Heisman Trophy ballot· ing - the highest finish ever by a MAC player. The scary part is, even with Moss (90 receptions for 1.647 yards and 25 TDs) graduated Marshall may be better !hanks to 14 returning starters. Add three more touchdowns and a pair of two-point conversions and MIAMI OF OHIO (8-3, ().2) could have gone unbeaten last year. The RedHawks walloped Marshall 4521, but lost by seven points to both Toledo and Bowling Green and by a field goal to rival Cincinnati. Tailback Travis Prentice and linebacker JoJ uan Annour could be the two best players in the MAC, but elsewhere Miami will have some fresh faces . " We have a lot of question marks,. but we also feel like we' ll have some . good answers," coach Randy Walker said. Fresh from its first winning sea-. son since 1982, OHIO (8-3, ().2-1)· aims even higher behind an option attack that was held under 20 points in only one game. Coach Jim Grobe has shifted shifty quarterback Kareem Wilson to running back in hopes of improving the Bobcats' woeful passing attack (37 yaros per game, 3 TDs all season). KENT (3-8, 3-~ J scored points, all right: 31 a game. But opponents scored 45 a gam ; against a defenseless defense. Nc " head coach Dean Pees was brou~ht in to apply a tourniquet to that hemorrhage. When it comes to transfusions, BOWLING GREEN (3-8, 3-5) 1s (See MAC on Page 7) battling for the center position with senior Joe Finnicum (().0, 190) shiJed to fill one of the guaro slots along with either junior Mike Northup (().0 235) or Roney at the other guard position. "Finnicum will be looked at to provide the leadership along our front line.'' Cromley commented. "If he was a couple of inches taller some big time schools would be looking at him." Senior Nick Northup (6-3 303) returns at tackle with senior Scott Edwards (5-I 0 240) or junior Donnie Scaggs (5-10 262) e.pected to man the remaining tackle position in the trenches for the White Falcons. "Overall we have good size across the line and they have been working in the weight room all summer long," Cromley said. "We should stack up against most teams on our schedule in strength and size but somewhere in the vast comers of West Virginia there will be teams bigger and stronger than us," Cromley added. Defensively Nick Northup; Donnie Scaggs and Scott Edwaros are getting consideration at the tackle posts with C.J. Stocker, Bryan Connolly and senior Bryan Lawrence (6-0 190) expected to cover the defensive end positions. The linebackers show Finnicum; Gerlach; Reitmire; Huff; Mike Northup; Roney and sophomore Robert Brinker (5-9 140) all locked in a battle for the four starting berths with the Falcon secondary e.pected to .contain returning regulars Tennant; Russell and Lloyd with McKnight; Marks and Hankinson also getting serious looks. Cromley will be beginning his fourth season as the head coach at Wahama where h5as guided the White Falcons to two . raight playofl · appearances and an verall 19-14 record. After posting a 3-7 mark his first season Cromley has led the Bend Area team to consecutive playoff appearances with a 9-3 record in 1996 and a 7-4 slate during the 1997 campaign. Three new opponents appear on the Wahama football schedule for the coming year following the departure of Federal Hocking. Vinson and Winfield. Bishop Donahue, a 1997 playoff participant, will visit the Bend Area for its home opener on September 4 with a visit to Gilmer County and a home game at St. Marys comprising lhe new faces on the 1998 fall schedule. · Hamlin, the season opening game for the White Falcons during the past eight years, has been moved to lhe regular season finale in 1998 with Clay County providing the season opening game on August 28. Only four home dates appear on the 1998 schedule, which sends Wahama on the road si• times against Clay County, Ravenswood .' Southern, Gilmer County, Wirt County and Hamlin.

Even the normally cautious Don Nehlen . starting his 19th season as coach .. appears c.cited. But the Mountaineers have a little matter to take care of before the conference season - a Sept. 5 opening date against No. !-ranked Ohio State. West Virginia has a Heisman can didate scatback in junior Amos Zereoue. who finished third in the nation in rushing last season (1,589 yards, 18 TDs) and lOth in the bal loting for the coveted trophy. West Virginia has an accurate and steady passer in junior quarterback Marc Bulger, who can zip the ball around to a fleet of talented receivers, behind a line that returns four starters. It 's the defense that has Nehlen most concerned, and injuries to that unit were a big reason why the Mountaineers closed out a second straight season losing four of the last five games ) finishing at 7-5 after a 35-30 loss to Georgia Tech in the CarQuest Bowl. Nonetheless. seven starters are back on defense. which was ranked No. I in lhc nation in 1996. "We' ve had to throw some oiiensive guys over on defense this year just to get lined up. and that's kind of scary," Nehlen said . David Saunders, the school's top receiver in '96, is almost 80 percent healed from a knee injury suffered last August while linebatker Damon Cogdell is still feeling the effects of a broken hip. SYRACUSE: The Orangemcn's explosive attack is led by senior quarterback and Heisman candidate Donovan McNabb, the league's Offensive Player of the Year for the last two years. He threw for 2,488 yards and 20 TDs in last year's 9-4 run, and the rangy senior from Dolton, Ill., is back running the pro-option attack with a talented backfield and receiving corps, including fullback Ron Konrad, tailbacks Kyle Mcintosh (898 yards, 6 TOs) and Dee Brown, and are speedy wideouts Kevin Johnson and Quinton Spotwood. The main concern is the defense, which needs to replace seven starters. The Orangemen arc also trying to shake the hugahoo of losing key games early in the season for the last two years. An 0-2 start in ' 96 and a 1-3 start last season were preludes to 9-3, and 9-4 finishes. respectively. Could be the same thing this season with a murderous opening pair against Tennessee and Michigan . McNabb has challenged himself to be a more consistent leader, and his 23 incompletions in last year's 35-18 loss to Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl still weighs on his mind. MIAMI: Fourth-year coach Butch Davis said, "There is an air of optimism in Coral Gables for the first time in quite a while." The main reason is for the first time in his tenure there are heen no NCAA scholarship reductions or investigations to contend with . Davis brought in the Hurricane'' first 25-recruit class in five years and said he is "an<ious to start the restoration" and "feels real good about our skill positions." After sitting behind Ryan Clement for the past three seasons, senior quarterback Scott Covington finally gets his chance. He has last year 's 1.000-plus yard rusher. Edgcrrin James, to hand off to and a good receiving corps featuring sop11omores Reggie Wayne and Daryl Jones. The offensive line seems to have solidified, as has the defensive unit. which surrendered 219.9 yards per game rushing last season - IOOth out of 112 Division 1-A schools. VIRGINA TECH: After making five straight bowl appearances, the Hokies need to plug holes on an offense that lost eight staners from last year's 7-5 campaign. Coach Frank Beamer said quarterback AI Clark "will be the glue that holds it together" in the early going, and the senior seems to have recovered. fully from offseason knee surgery. Senior tailback Lamont Pegues will try to fill the void left by departed leading rusher Ken O.endine. Injuries were one reason the Hokies lost their last three games ending with a 42-3 drubbing by North Carolina in the Gator Bowl . Seven returning starters on defense should provide some stability while kicker Shayne Graham and Editor's note: The following story about Pomeroy native and Meigs High School graduate Mike Bartrum was featured In the Aug. 12 edition of the Plllriots FootbaU Wttkly. The article was written by Mike Reiss. , As tough and rewarding as the game of football has seemed at times to Mike Banrum, lhe 28 year old long snapper who has broken an arm and fractured a forearm knows one thiRg: S!lCCial teams doesn't compare to special education. Bartrum, who has played football for Kansas City, Green Bay and New England since 1993, provides a unique perspective on the subject. Since 1994, when time permits, he has taught special education classes in Louisburg, Kan., at the elementary and high school level. It's something Banrum plans to continue with when his football career ends, "whether that's this year or ten years from now." And, it's Holzer Clinic is beginning its si<th year of coordinating with area high schools and the Ohio University Athletic Training Program to provide master's level certified athletic trainers to regional sports programs. Since 1992, the clinic's Sports Medicine program has worked with OU to provide practical experience for athletic training students. Since that time, appro•imately 16 graduate athletic trainers and hundreds of area athletes have benefited. · With many school budgets being cut, some southern Ohio schools have been fortunate to have Holzer Clinic offset part of the cost of providing trained and qualified sports medicine professionals. The master's level certified athletic trainers from OU work with both male and female students on a daily basis from August through May. In the 199R-99 school year, Galli a Academy. Jackson, Meigs and River Valley High Schools will benefit from the program.

'The clinic is also fortunate to hove Lori Waro, a certified athletic trainer, working for us. Lori has coordinated this cffon for several years and has made this possible for the clinic, the student athletes, parents and the schools' athletic programs." · In addition to having her master's degree in athletic training and fulfilling her role as head trainer at Holzer Clinic, Ward has been tbe southeastem Ohio district representative to the Ohio Atbletic Trainers Association for the past six years. When asked about the athletic trainer program in the area schools. Ward said that "we see this as a winwin situation foe both the athletes and graduate athletic trainers. 'The athletes are provided early access to quali1·, health care by an individual spe~ifically educated to take care of the student athlete." Ward added . "This allows the coaching staff to be able to do their job and know the athlete's safety and wellbeing are being taken care of. "The graduate athletic trainers gain in the ability to organize and supervise the medical care for the high school athletes," she continued.

"When the team wins people are praising you, and when the team loses people want to tear you up." SEC forecast By EDDIE PELLS BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) Wresting the title away from Florida was one thing. Eliminating the swagger could prove more difficult. A season after failing to win the Southeastern Conference for the first time since 1992. the Gators hardly seem like a team on a downslide. Rather, they're confident - what's new? - and excited about entering the season with a strong defense in a league full of unproven quarterbacks. They relish their role as favorites. They were ranked third in The Associated Press preseason poll and are the clear choice to climb back to the top of what is considered by many to be the country's toughest conference. "I like that," said Florida coach Steve Spurrier, seemingly unf~d by Florida's failure to defend the 1996 national and conference titles last year. "We want our players to know we're supposed to win it. We don't want them to feel like it's a nuke if we do win it."

"I don't feel like I've lost one dime of it. I'm about as excited now as I've ever been going into a season. When I lose that I'm out. I guess one of these days I'll wake up and not want to go." No need for concern this year. Florida State's cumulative 40yard dash times this spring were the program's best ever. lo fact, wide receiver Laveranues Coles ran under 4.2 seconds.

That's similar to what Davie said last year wben he promised that the Irish were going to open up their offense on the arm of Ron Powius, prompting fears among Notre Dame faithful that he'd abandoned the traditional Irish power running game. Instead, both went nowhere. After averaging 269.5 yards a game on the ground in 1996, the Irish limped to 174.9 yards a game last season, the first time since 1986 that NoJtre Dame didn't rank in the ton 20 nationally for rushing. · The passing game didn't fare much better, and the Irish threw fo• fewer yards last season (185.3) obion in 1996 (193.7) and 1995 (186.1) when the running game dominated.

Kentucky's Couch may leave for NFL when linemen depart By MARC J_ SPEARS Louisville Courier-Joumal LEXINGTON, Ky. -Tim Couch was extremely cooperative as the star attraction during the University of Kentucky's annual football Media Day Thursday. He even seemed prepared to strike the Heisman pose for a photographer. But Kentucky media relations director Tony Neely got wind of the request and quickly stopped the shot. " It makes him look cocky," Neely said. "If he wins it, we'll do a million of those." Protecting a Heisman Trophy candidate hasn't heen much of a problem at Kentucky. Before Couch, only Babe Parilli and Lou Michael received top- I0 consideration, and that was in the 1950s. This might be Kentucky 's last Heisman campaign for a few years if Couch elects to leave for the National Football League. "A lot of people are suspecting that this is my last year." said Couch, the nation's top junior quarterback. according to pro football analyst Mel Kiper. "They are thinking this is my last go-around. so they are expecting a lot of success around here . "I'I) make my decision after the bowl game sometime. There will be a lot of things that factor into it." Numerous NFL scouts project the 6-foot-5, 225-pound Couch as the top pick in next spring's draft. That high praise came after he led the nation in passing yardage (3,884) and completion percentage (.664) last season. One factor Couch definitely 1s considering is his health. He is blessed with an all-senior offensive line this year. but if he returns in 1999, he could end up running for his life. "It will definitely play a factor in my decision." said Couch. who was named a preseason first-team allAmerican by several publications. "I have five seniors starting ahead of me . Losing those guys will hurt us if I come back for my senior year. On the other hand, coach (Guy) Morriss is a great offensive line coach. and he will bring only the top guys in ." For now. Couch and the Kentucky staff will concentrate on the upcoming season and the excitement of the Heisman race. If anyone can deal with the constant attention, Couch can. He has been followed heavily since his days at Leslie County High School, where he was named the Parade and Gatorade Player of the Year in 1995 and was the most prolific passer in high school history. Also. hi s teammates like the attention from the NFL because it gives them a better chance of getting noticed. "Tim has heen under scrutiny since his junior year in high school," Kentucky coach Hal Mumme said. "He is used to weekly press conferences and phone calls from the media. It shouldn't affect his play." Last year, the Wildcats were 5-6 overall and 2-6 in the Southeastern Conference, but the excitement about Kentucky football is growing. The Media Day frenzy was far from the norm. The players and coaches were talking about ending a four-year bowl drought, and Couch talked as if Williams brings new. era to Grambling By MARY FOSTER GRAMBLING, La. (AP) Before the first pink streaks of dawn paint the sky over the old water tower, Doug Williams and his players arc busy changing history. Elsewhere, this would be football practice. Here, it is the beginning of a new era. For the first time, someone other than Eddie Robinson is calling the shots at Grambling State. "1 don't have a sense of history as much as I have a sense of urgency," said Williams, a star Grambling qu;u:terback in the '70s and the Super Bowl MVP for the Washington Redskins .in 1988. "For years the saying was, 'Grambling doesn't . _rebuild, it reloads. ' Well. we're .rebuilding now." : For a man whose fondest dream · 'has come true, Williams is amazing~y clear-eyed. : He is following the coach who :won more football games than any <>ther and made a tiny school in the ;piney-woods of north Louisiana :famous. But that doesn' t worry ·Williams as much as trying to pre:pare for the season. • For decades, Grambling expected '\lictories - 408 in 57 years, with at least a share of I 7 Southwestern ;Athletic Conference titles. But the -1igers struggled in Robinson 's final :three ye·,rs. : · Los;ng seasons were made worse oby an 1 ~CAA investigation and pro:batio" discipline problems with )>layer:., dedining attendance and a ·lack of attention from the pro scouts :that once nockcd to Grambling. , "Grambling went II ·21 the last ~hrcc years, including back-to-back :J-8 seasons." Williams said . "That "makes it easier for me to take over :Oncr Coach. Everyone knows it's :time for a change here ." _ That did not make the change uni•vcrsally popular. : Even at 7K.

A those who think I shouldn't be coach, but I can't hop on that, because I am the coach and I have a big job to do." Scrapped were everything from the antiquated wing-T offensive set to the pre-dawn visits Robinson made to the dorm to wake his players for breakfast. "He treats us like we're young men, not kids, " senior wide receiver Silas Payne said of Williams. "Everything now is about responsibility. You don't have to make practice or lift or do the things he wants. But if you don't, you don't play." During spring practice players had to repon to a 5:30 a.m. conditioning drill. During the fall two-adays on the field near the Grambling city water tower, practices were from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and again in the .afternoon. The late arrivals and carelessness that had prevailed over-the past few years were no longer tolerated. "Ail of a sudden the key words were discipline and hard work," senior offensive lineman Kori Smith said. "Practices are harder, faster, but everyone is really focused now. We know if we ·do the things he wants us to do there's a big reward ahead." Williams makes his demands with the confidence of a successful quarterback. His coaching credentials may be slim - he was ~-8 at Morehouse in his only other college job- but his reputation is h,,ge. Williams passed for 8,41 . yards and 93 touchdowns as a Grambling quarterback from 1974-77. The ligers were 35-5 during that stretch and he was the first player from a predominantly black college ever chosen as a first-team all-American by The Associated Press. Then, in one quarter of one fantastic game, Williams put his name in the NFL record books. in the 1988 Super Bowl, with Washington trailing the Denver Broncos 10-0, Williams shook off a bone-rattling hit to spark a Redskins victory. In the second quarter, Williams passed for 228 yards and four touchdowns to put Washington ahead 3510. He ended up with a Super Bowlrecord 340 total yards, a 42-10 triumph and an MYP award to highlight his career. "I think Grambling prepared me for that kind of success as well as the struggles that led up to it." Williams said. "Grambling taught me who I was and what I was and how to deal with it. We worked so hard here and did so much with so little, that everything afterwards seemed easy. Thafs what I want to give these players. That sense that they have succeeded here and can do it again anywhere." The path to success will he a hard one for Wi II iams. This season he's replacing 12 starters and 22 lettermen , including the quarterback, kicker and punter. Only a single Grambling player made the preseason SWAC team and his fellow coaches put the Tigers at the bottom of the conference in the early ranking. Add to that only three home games and travels as far as New Jersey, Dallas and San Diego for those games that have traditionally earned Grambling substantial paydays, and Williams admits any victories will be hard-earned . "Sometimes I find myself being optimistic, then I return to reality and realize how far we have to go," Williams said. "But this is Grambling and we've always had-a lot of pride. Coach built something great here. I don 't have the slightest doubt we can rebuild it. It'll just take a little while."

"We'd like to think that early in the year our defense will play well enough to help our offense .. . maybe make some big plays on defense to help change momentum. " Solich said. Nebraska better be clicking on both sides of the ball when it goes to KSU Stadium in mid-November. If Kansas State wins that game. a national championship wouldn 't be farfetched for the first major college football program with 500 losses. a team long scorned as Mildcats.

Gus Frerotte (Washington)He appeared to be pressing after signing a big contract before last season, but he has the talent to bounce bad on a team poised for a long playoff run . 15. Rob Johnson (Buffalo) - He has the size, arm, mobility and leadership to become a top-shelf quarterback. He paid his dues backing up Brunell in Jacksonville. The major knock against him is lack of NFL game experience. 16. Scott Mitchell (Detroit) -l!c has it 111 physically and few quane• backs have more talented weapon5 to work with, but he has been an underachtever thus far and could he running out of time . 17. Jeff George (Oakland)- He has a terrific arm and can occasionaly look as good as any quarterback who ever lived. Far more often he appears clueless, particularly at crunch ume. His 34-66 record as an NR. starter is strong evidence of his lack of maturity and leadership. 18. Trent Dilfer (Tampa Bay) He improved significantly last season. partly because his supporting cast was much better and partly because he was so awful the first three seasons. His rating on this list will soar quickly if he proves he isn't one of the weakest links on a rapidly improving team. . 19. Jim Harbaugh (Balumore)""Captain Comeback." who is 34. has seen better days. He' II probably be an improvement over Vinny Testaverde. but he didn't nash much of his fonner electricity last season with Indianapolis. 20. Chris Chandler (Atlanta) He"s very good when he 's healthy, but durability is a factor in rating quarterbacks, and Chandler's history suggests that he 'll miss a significant number of games this season. 21 . Danny Kanell (New York 9. Drew Bledsoe (New England) - He still has a cannon arm. The major knock against him is disappointing performances m btg games, but a quarterback has to be VCfY good merely to reach so many big games . 10. Steve McNair (Tennessee) My hunch is that he's ready for his breakthrough season. He is the most dangerous runner among NFL quarterbacks (averaged 6.7 yards on 101 carries last season compared to Stewart's 5.4-yard average on 88 carries). and the receiving corps has been vastly upgraded to take advantage of his strong arm. .

They figure to suffer NFL growing pains with relatively poor supporting casts. Manning ranks a spot higher on this list because the Colts have better receivers tban the Chargers and probably more overall talent. 26. Tony Banks (St. Louis)- His arm and legs should rank much higher on this list. Unfor:unately for the Rams, he is the most careless, reckless and inconsistent quarterback in the league. 27.

There's no deep threat in sight. 1be Dolphins ranked 26th overall on defense, but they arc young . Coach Jimmy Johnson loves speed and aggression and ha. plenty of both on hand with end Jason Taylor. linebackers Zach Thomas and Derrick Rodgers and DBs Shawn Wooden, Brock Marion and Sam Madison . Johnson also likes what he "s seen from rookie DE Kenny Mixon and CB Patrick Sunrun. He also has to smile at one of the league's easiest schedules. Parcells smiles every time he looks at Manto lining up in his backfield . He plans to load the game plan with runs by Manto and can't wait to mix it up with elusive Leon Johnson . Untested, injury -prone Glenn Ft>ley has convinced Parcells he has the ability and the guts to lead a team thai nearly made the playoffs in '97. a year after goi ng I -15 under Rich Kotite . In Keyshawn Johnson and Wayne Chrebet, Foley has two dependable targets. To get into the playoffs, though. from right tackle to left to replace Jackson . and with young Jamain Stephens having to prove he can stan. Still, this is one of the hctter blocking units in the league. led by All -Pro center Derrnontti Dawson and guard Will Wolford. Top pick Alan Faneca has received high grades in the preseason . Stew an hasn 't shown all hi s potential, but his talent base is enormous. He needs to seule down in the passing game, and with Bettis on hand, a conservative approach is expected. It doesn' t hurt to have people like Levon Kirkland, Earl Holme s. Carnell Lake and Darren Perry on defense, either. But with Scou gone for the season with a knee injury. free agent Dewayne Washington becomes a critical player at cornerback. And Lake, a Pro Bowl safety. once again will be forced to play the other corner. By the time that secondary faces Jacksonville on Nov. 22, it should be solidified. It will need to be, because the Jaguars should have a premier passing attack, led by QB Mark Brunell and wideouts Keenan McCardell (85, 13.7, 5) and Jimmy Smith (82, 16.1. 4). Brunell led the AFC with a 91.2 rating and made the Pro Bowl. even though he began the season sidelined by a knee injury. He's healthy now, and the line anchored by tackles Tony Boselli and Leon Searcy should be able to keep him that way. Unlike Pittsburgh, though , the Lag_s have some questions about their runmng game. James Stewart scored five TDs against Philadelphia in his only game as the featured back last year. but when Natronc Means left as a free agent. Jacksonville spent its first draft pick on Florida running hack Fred Taylor. Stewart and Taylor should sec plenty of time . Jacksonville ranked 23rd in total defense and that won "t do if it hopes to knock off the Stcelers. Signing linebacker Bryce Paup to bolster the pass rush and drafting safety Donovin Darius should help, but more production from the front line . led by Tony Brackens, is essential. The race could come down to the final Monday nighter, when the Steelers visit the Jaguars. The Oilers won't have to be visitors at their home field anymore: they are seuled in Nashville, Tenn .. albeit at Vanderbilt for thi s season before their new stadium is completed for 1999. Not having to commute to Memphis should help the Oilers contend for a wild card. Adding Thigpen, drafting Kevin Dyson and using Chris Sanders more will make for a dangerous set of receivers . Is Steve McNair ready to utilize them " Although he won't be the focal point of the offense - Eddie George (1,399 yards rushing, 7 TDs) has to be - McNair needs to have a better touchdown-interception ratio than the 14-13 of last year. Operating behind a strong line, McNair should be better and George could lead the league to rushing. That certainly would put the Oilers close to the level of Pittsburgh and Jacksonv ille. h"s on defense where Tennessee could struggle. Because the Oilers didn "t get enough pressure up front and the secondary was spotty only three teams were worse against the pass in 1997. The linebackers were particularly questionable . The Ravens finally get to play in their new. state-of-the-an ballpark. and they" ll have a more entertaining team to fill it. Jim Harbaueh is a far more accomplished quane~back than Vinny Testavcrde, and Jermaine Lewis looks like hc"s ready to bust nut as a receiver; hc"s already a fine kick returner. Lewts and Michael Jackson form a dangerous receiving duo. A backfield by committee will be used. with Jay Graham, Errict Rhett and Roosevelt Potts getting the bulk of the work. They'll run .behind a Parcells must plug holes on both lines - especially the defensive unit, which has no proven pass-rushers. The kicking game also is a question 111ark. although special teams were New York's strength a year ago. Peyton Manning will be the story every week in Indianapolis. as he probably should be.

Martin was reunited with the man wllo gave him his NR. break, Bill Parcells, for S36 million over six years. "We lost a very good player," Patriots tackle Bruce Armstrong said. "There was never a game last year when we ·could not run the ball. It was never a question mark."

By BARRY WILNER AP Foolltell Writer 'The Denver Broncos took the most ueacherous route to the Super Bowl last season. They couldn't beat Kansas City for the AFC West title, so they settled for a wild-card benh , then won four straight. three away from Denver, to capture their first NFL championship. It would be so much simpler to win the division, have a good enough record for a bye, then play one or two playoff games at Mile High Stadium. The Broncos might be capable of it after finishing 12·4 last year, a game be' .ind the Chiefs But the AFC West should be ":ueh stronger this season and going t 2 again within the division will he t,ugh "The good thing is. we have a bunch of character people on this team." says John Elway. who certainly can include himself in that group. " People talk about pressure but, heck, we didn't even win our division last year. So, what pressure? "We got a large monkey off our backs last year, getting the first one for the organization," adds Elway, who contemplated retirement but came back for one more year. "There's always a big challenge coming back the following year, because you're kind of a sitting duck if you don't go out and make things happen. We realize people are going to be shooting at us every week." The Seahawks, who seem vastly improved, and the Chiefs, Raiders and Chargers will take two shots each. If Denver can hanctle them and a schedule that includes 1997 playoff teams Ne·.. England , Jacksonville and Miami - the home field edge at Mile High could carry the Broncos to the big game again. Denver no longer lives and dies on Elway's arm , feet and guile . Super Bowl MVPTerrell Davis is the focal point of the offense. and the defense ranked fifth overall last year, led by playmakers Neil Smith, John Mobley, Ray Crockett and Steve Atwater. Davis rushed for I ,750 yards and 15 touchdowns, then capped it with his 157 yards and three touchdowns against Green Bay in the Super Bowl. "He reminds me of Jim Brown," teammate Derek Loville says. "He's hard-nosed, a throwback like that. He's rough ... he'll run around you. he'll run over you. he'll block and he can catch." Elway also had three other passcatching slandouts in TE Shannon Sharpe (72 receptions, 15.4-yard average), the rapidly developing Rod Smith (70, 16.9, 12 TDs) and Ed McCaffrey (eight touchdowns). Top pick Marcus Nash should increase the aerial threat. But there are some concerns. While the Broncos weren't raided in free agency the way most recent champions have been. they did lose inside linebacker Allen Aldridge and guard Brian Habib. Their best tackle. Gary Zimmerman, retired, and DE Alfred Williams needed triceps surgery and could miss the entire season. The Broncos also are getting old, but coach Mike Shanahan is confident veterans like Elway, Shaqlc:, Mark Schlereth, Neil Smith, Tony Jones, Bill Romanowski, Tyrone Braxton and Atwater have one big push left. Seattle should provide the biggest push in the standings. Once Wanen Moon is settled back in at quarterback after his holdout. his weapons are fomtidable. Joey Galloway (70, 14.6, I~) is ready to establish himself as a dominant receiver. Ricky Watters will be a workhorse in the backfield and Walter Jones might soon be the best tackle in the AFC. The defense has its share of quality in linemen Conez Kennedy and Michael Sinclair (12 sacks), linebacker Chad Brown and DBs Shawn Springs and Darryl Williams. The players also know anything less than a playoff appearance could cost coach Dennis Erickson his job. While Marty Schottenheimer isn 't in danger of losing his job in Kansas City, there is impatience. He has a .644 winning percentage in the regular season, second best of any active coach with I00 or more wins, but his 5-11 playoff record is the worst of any coach wiih more than five playofT games. The Chiefs must find a running game to . complement QB Uvis Grbac and a solid receiving group led by Andre Rison (72, 15.1. 7) and new addition Derrick Alexllll<kr (65, 15.5, 9). Their defense migh: get a from tackle Chester boost McGiockton, a free-agent pickup, but youngsters John Browning, Donnie Edwards, Reggie Tongue and Jerome Woods will make it work. Giants need run, tough defense to win NFC East title again Dale Carter is among the league's top cornerbacks. Carter figures to get lots of work in the opener against the Raiders, who will send Tim Brown (104, 13.5, 5) and James Jett (12 touchdowns) his way, along with dangerous tight end Rickey Dudley. lefT George can get them the ball and Napoleon Kaufman rushed for I,294 yards last year. But the defense ranked dead last in nearly every category and will need a boost from Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson and veteran Eric Allen in the secondary. San Diego lost its final eight games a year ago as injuries and inner turmoil tnre apart a club that went to the Super Bowl in 1994.

In fact on Thursday when she observed her lOis! birthday, a part of her day was spenl _sewing together colorful pieces of fabric into overlappmg cucles for a quill lop she has been working on for the past several months. The design is original and alllhe work is being done by hand. "I don't like to use a pallern, or do the ':"ork by machine " commented Mrs. Willard, who remams ag1le and alert', and has a keen sense of humor. She describes her health as "preuy good" and admits only "to forgelling some lhings." "Lately 1 don't remember like 1 did ..... guess I'm getling old," quipped the centenarian. As for the quill she's working on, she says she hasn't yet decided whelher she will give it away or keep it for herself. She's hopeful that the Hemlock Grove Quillers will do the quilling. After all she knows the quality of their work. Until last summer when she had a bout with illness, she was a "regular" at the weekly gatherings for quilting in lhe basement of the grange hall. . Asked when she'll get the quilt top fimshed, she replied thai she has "no reason to work fast since she's not going anywhere." "I work on it a lillie every day and when I get tired I lay il aside." She said !hal sometimes her fingers ~et sore all~ough she always uses a lhtmble. She descnbed Ihe lhtmble that she uses as a "liny liltle thing" which she gol in a "swap" with Sarah Cull urns, another member of Hemlock Grove Quillers group. . .
