The Cincinnati Enquirer CHICAGO - If winning Ohio's 21 electoral votes for Bill Clinton this fall is the No. I priority for Ohio , Democrats, winning back control of Ohio's congressional delegation can't be far behind. Two years ago, after holding a majority in the 19-member Ohio delegation to the U.S. House since 1982, Ohio Democrats got caught in the tidal wave that gave Republicans control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Four Democratic incumbents lost their seats, including David Mann in Hamilton County's Ist District and Ted Strickland in southern Ohio's 6th District Before the 1994 election, the Democrats held a slight lead of 10 seats to nine for the Republicans. When the dust settled, the Republi- tol Hill security officer who cried when Dole retired from the Senate last spring. . Mrs. Clinton chose a more bustness-like, forward-looking speech talking about her busband's visions about health care, family leave, adoption, and flexible working hours themes TV viewers have heard before in 'tlie past four years. Mrs. Clinton also stood u~ to Dole, who had declared m San D1,9go that it took a family - not a village -to-raise a child. It was a slap at Mrs. Clinton's book about raising children, "it Takes a Village." "'To mise a happy, healthy, and hopeful chtld, tt takes a famtly, she satd, addtng that tl also takes teachers, clergy, busmess people and community leaders. '"It takes all of us . Yes, it takes a village - and it takes a president," she said. "It takes a president who believes not only in the potential of his own child, but in all children . Who believes not only in the strength of his own family, but of the Ameri can family ... It takes Bill Clinton." Her remarks ran five minutes longer than scheduled, which contributed to the keynote speech by Indiana Gov. Evan Bayh being delayed until II p.m. EDT That forced the Big Three commercial networks to stretch live convention coverage to 11 :15. But Democrats got what they wanted.

"Ted's been on the train with the president and is running a great campaign," Mr. Brown said. "Cremeans is just not deft enough or able enough to answer the arguments when Ted hits him for supporting the radical agenda of the Rcpubicans in Congress. Mr. Brown said that in Cincinnati the Democrats have a chance of knocking off U.S. Rep Steve Chabot. the former Cincinnati councilman and county commissioner, who defeated Mr. Mann two years ago. He says that even though Democratic challenger Mark Longnbaugh is not nearly as well known in his district as Mr. Strickland is in his. "That's going to be a good race for us because Steve has been way to the right of even (House Speaker Newt) Gingrich on a lot of issues ," Mr. Brown said . " People in Cine in- nati like Steve; he 's a ltkeahle guy, but I don't think they're going to like what he has voted for in one term in Congress." Mr. Brown said he also is convinced that former Cleveland mayor Dennis Kucinich. now a state senator, will oust two-term congressman Martin Hoke in Cleveland. "That one's a no-bratner," said Mr. Brown. "We wln." Mr. Brown, who lost the secretary of state job to Cincinnatian Bob Taft in 1990, said 1996 should be a 80od year for Democratic congressional candidates nationwide because or the "volatility of the electorate." "Voters these days arc like the guy sitting on the sofa with the remote control tn his hand." Mr. Brown said. "He decides he doesn't like Clinton, and, zap, he switches to Gingrich. He decides he doesn't like Gmgrich and, zap, he turns back to us." Dems weren't prepared for guerilla warfare crage for a strategy slip-up. ''I'm doing everything hut standing on my head gargling peanut butter and spitting quarters to get some aucntion on the issues," Strickland said. "He throws mud and it dominates the news. and the differences between us on Medicare , Medicaid, the environment and education go completely unexplored."

Meigs board introduced to new pilot project By .JIM FREEMAN Sentinel News Staff The Meigs Local Board of Education was introduced to a new pilot program taking place at Pomeroy Elementary School this school year. The school board met in regular session Tuesday night at the elemen tary school and heard a presentation · by teachers and school Principal Debbie Haptonstall. One change is that the Title I readmg program has been moved into a school-wide program, meaning Title I teachers will be working in the classroom with regular teachers in a team teaching approach . Another tcnc( of the program is the mclusion of special education stu- dents into regular classrooms. The teachers at each grade level. along with the Title I teachers and speciul education teachers will be team teachtng -- to cover all academic areas, according to Haplonstall. To address parents' concerns that classroom material would be made less challenging to allow special education students to do well. Haptonstall and other teachers said the curriculum would be unchanged and that special education students would tx: graded on their abilities. It is hoped that tncluding spcetal education students into regular da'5rooms will help reduce some of the stigma attached to being labeled as a special education student, Haptonstall ·Several village maintenance issues were discussed during Tuesday's night's regular meeting of Rutland Village Council at the Rutland dvtc Center.

By JOHN KIESEWETTER Gannett News Service • CHICAGO - First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't dazzle delegates by strolling among them like a TV talk show host, as Elizabeth Dole did two weeks ago at the Republican convention. But neither did she look like a scare~· deer caught in the headlights, as she did Monday night on primetime TV when she welcomed Democrat~ to the convention from outside the United Center. Mrs. Clinton, dressed in a light blue suit, delivered a flawless tradi tional speech Tuesday night from the podium. She appeared comfortable addressing the assembly, although occasionally TV viewers caught a peek at her death-grip at the lectern -which delegates could not see. Unlike Mrs . Dole. who repeatedly called her husband "Bob Dole," Mrs. Clinton referred to her husband in a much more casual manner. Usually, she called hin simply "Bill." Several times she referred to him as "my husband" or "the president." Only once, in her dramatic climax, did she call him by his first and last name. What the women said was as different as how they said it. The only similarity was the length of their speeches: 20 minutes each. Mrs. Dole, in a ""This Is Your Life" style, chose to tell the national TV audience about incidents in her husband's past they didn' t know. She introduced the doctor who helped repair his shattered shoulder after World War II; a q·uadriplegic whom he befriended in 1983; and the Capi-• Tony's Asst. Sirloin Steak Lb.

What other newspapers across Ohio are saying By Jack Anderson and Jan Moller WASHINGTON •• If terrorism turns out to be the cause.of the July t 17 explosion of TWA Flight 800 explosion,there is one group with the will, expertise and animus to have orchestrated the blast. Federal Aviation Administration investigators have not declared that terrorism was the cause of the crash, which killed all 230 passengers on board. Yet many commentators have compared the TWA crash to the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The most likely candidate for masterminding such a heinous act is Palestinian ex tremist Ahmed Jibril , , the head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. And the most likely sponsor. say our intelligence sources, would be Iran or Libya. Jibril shuttles between Damascus, Syria. and Tripoli , Libya. leading a breakaway Palestinian terrorist group that has never numbered more th an a few hundred hardcore members . Excerpts of editorials of statewide and national interest from Ohio newspapers: Akron Beacon Journal, Aug. 23 The Ohio Thmpike is an asset to Ohio. It is well-run and well-maintained. It does its job of moving people and goods throughout northern Ohio well . It also has developed a reputation for controversy. That needs to end. The most recent flap revolves around Ohio Turnpike Commission Chairman Urnberto Fedeli, in private life the sole owner of the Fedeli Group, a firm that sells insurance, underwrites bonds and consults with businesses on employee benefits and finances. Several companies with contracts in connection with the $650 million construction project for a third lane of the turnpike are also Fedeli's insurance clients. Fedeli maintains that his business relationships have no connection to his role as head of the Turnpike Commission. He has abstained, without explanation, on contract votes involving those firms . Ohio's newly created Turnpike Oversight Commission will begin its duties · soon. It should look into this matter and decide what needs to be done. The (Youngstown) Vinditator, Aug. 22 Russian troops are about to flatten the Chechen capital of Grozny, security chief Alexander Lebed is trying to stop the bloodshed and Russian President Boris Yeltsin is holed up in a resort in northern Russia. That's a pre· scription for disaster. · L.ebed was assigned the task of negotiating a cease-fire in the 20-rnonth battle between Chechen separatists and the Russian government. As Lebed returned to the breakaway region this week with orders from Yeltsin to take control of Russian troops, stop tbe fighting and continue peace talks, the military commander in Chechnya launched a counteroffensive. Caught in the middle are the civilians. In the words of a World War II veteran, "They're worse than the Hitlerites. Bombs and shelling all the time on women and children. They're just killing everyone." That's no way to build a democracy. Yeltsin owes it to the voters who put their trust in him to take the reins of power. the Cincino11ti Post, Aug. 20 A recent report out of Columbus bears celebrating: For the first time since 1982, Ohio's bond ratings are up. The technical changes may seem obscure. Moody 's Investors Service upgraded the state's general obligati011 bonds from Aa to Aal; Standard and Poor's took them from AA to AA+. · But there's nothing esoteric about the bottom line. The improved ratings mean that Ohio will likely be able to secure lower interest rates on its debt. Ohio issues about $900 million worth of bonds each year. State budget officials estimate that the improved bond ratings will translate into savings of between $3.3 million and $4.5 million over the life of the bonds. More important than the financial savings are the developments that led to them. The Wall Street analysts who looked at Ohio concluded that its economy is strong and reasonably well-diversified , and that state government has gotten its entitlement spending under control. \ I ' Tht Marion Star, Aug. 18 Jury duty has become something to avoid by any means possible. Suddenly everyone is indispensable to his company, and his job is vital to the nation's security. Any time away would be too great a hardship on (select one) a. the children; b. the ailing, widowed mother; c. the cousin who was counting on the jury duty candidate to donate a kidney tomorrow ; or d. the prospective juror's heart, which could give out at any moment. . We raise these points after only 28 percent of the people summoned showed up for jury selection in the trial of Jerry Hessler. And the judge didn't seem upset. It's outrageous. Courts need to take steps to prompt more to answer the call. Businesses should support their employees in doing their duty and not help with the alibis. And every American who can show up should show up when the summons comes. Today in history By The Associated Press , Today is Wednesday, Aug. 28, the 241 st day of 1996.

It was detonated by a similar triggering dev1ce .' In his interview with us. Jibril discounted such evidence by claiming that his associates were using the barometric device for things like " mountain -climbing." He admitted the arms cache and explosives captured with the group belonged to his organization, but claims it was not to be used against Europeans or Americans. " Let me tell you frankly," Jibril offered, " this group was in Germany under order> to get arms from there in order to smuggle them into Palestine (Israel and the occupied territories) through the ports of Europe. It 's our right to sm uggle them from there to our fighters in Palestine." Incredibly, he even suggested we con finn with the CIA that his group" was actively smuggling arms through the Israeli port of Haifa. We could find no confirmation of this. however. U.S. intelligence reports strongly linked Jibril ; · then and now ·- to a the government of Iran. At the time. Iran was seeking revenge for the accidental shootdown five months earlier of an Iran Air passenger jet by the U.S.S . Vincennes, which killed 290 Iranian civilians. "You can ask yourselves, why did you down the Iranian airbus?" Jibril challenged. "'You shot the plane down and then said you were sorry. Any stupid ·officer would recognize that it was a civilian aircraft, and nut a militjll)' one." Jibril also confirmed to us, for the first time publicly, that he was dealing closely with Iran, claiming, in effect. that he would deal with the devil himself if it would help his anti Israe li cause.

After all. said T-eddy Kennedy, the Massachusetts senator who is urging on the president. ciga· rettes "are a gateway drug." What we have here is a White House that is more concerned aboul kids smoking cigarettes than smoking dope, snorting coke, shooting up with heroin or dropping LSD. Indeed, if Clinton had devoted one-tenth the effort to staunching teen-age drug abuse that he has committed to cracking down on teen-age smoking,' then the teen drug problem would not have reached crisis proportions. Instead, Clinton has completely abandoned the War on Drugs. It began soon after he entered the White House. when he eviscerated the Office of National Drug Control Policy, cuning the Drug Czar's staff by 80 percent. He later tried to elim- inate more than 620 drug enforce· ment positions. Meanwhile. the president appoint· ed more than 40 drug users to White Joseph Perkins House staff positions ·- a fact that chief of staff Leon Panetta vehe· mently denied in December 1994. We're not talking about folks who smoked a little pot in college, like young Bill Clinton. We're talking about drug offenders whQ were using marijuana. cocaine, heroin or LSD withm a year of receiving security clearance to work in the Clinton White House. So while first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton insists that there be no rigarene smokers on the White House grounds. first husband Bill has no problem with known druggies working by his side at the highest level of government. "No wonder we' re losing the war on drugs when you've got such a big problem in the White House itself," says Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole. The escalation of teen-age drug use is "nothing short of a national tragedy."' he adds. plcdg· ing that , if elected, the war on drugs will be "priority N_o . I once again.·· The Clinton administration dis· misses Dole 's remarks as nothing more than politics. "One thing we can't do is tum drug use among young people into a political football," said White House mouthpiece Mike McCurry. "because it sends the wrong message to kids. Then they ' II just think the issue is for the politi· cians and not something that they have to take responsibility for." Yes, of course, Mike. But isn'tthis the same White House that has been trying to make political hay with the public by bashing those nefarious tobacco companies? That has savaged Dole and fellow Republicans for accepting tobacco contributions (while conveniently ignoring the fact that Democrats have gladly accepted tobacco dollars as well)? That has sent some jerk dressed up as " Buttman " to heck le Dole at campaign appearances'? · Clinton's complete abdication of his leadership role in the nation 's war on drugs is fair political game for Dole and the Republicans. The fact is that drug usc steadily declined under presidents Reagan and Bush. And since Clinton has been in the White House, dru~ usc in America has soared, espec ially among the nation's youth . McCurry says that the drug war is a " high priority " for the White House. When asked by the Wall Street Journal whether .the president bears some responsibility for the marked increase in drug use, he lamely replied that Clinton "understands that there's more that needs to be done. which is what he has consistentl)ll, been doing in his time here ." Yes, sure thing, Mike. This is the president who acknowledged trying marijuana back during his Oxford days (though he made it perfectly clear "I didn 't inhale"). Of course he's not the only political figure ·· Democrat or Republican ·· who smoked pot during their youth. But he is the only political figure who's gone on MTV and told the nation 's youth that if he had it to do over, he would inhale. That's the wrong message to send to kids, especially for the president of the United States. And it is because Clinton has been so cavalier about illegal drug · use, because the com· mander in chief has gone AWOL in the war on drugs, that I million more teen-age Americans arc using dnigs today than before he moved into the White House.

(AP) - Purdue University has won the recruiting battle for Fon Wayne South senior forward Cameron Stephens. The 6-7, 21 5-pound Stephens, considef5<1 one of the state's top high school forwards, verbally commitied to Purdue on Tuesday. He also had been considering Cincinnati and Indiana University. \ "i guess I always knew I would end up there," he said. "I actually made up my mind awhile ago, but I wanted to wait to make sure it was the right decision ." Stephens, who will sign a nation· a I letter of intent in November, averaged 18.3 points and 9.8 rebounds for Fort Wayne South last season. Recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons called Stephens a terrific player. The Boilennakers previously received a verbal commitment from Merrillville's 6-8 senior forward Jamaal Davis.

One will fall Wednesday afternoon if they don't beat the Cleveland , Indians in their final meeting of the u season. Cleveland beat the ngers for the II th time in as many meetings this · year Thesday night when Jim Thome ,' went 4-for-5 and homered for · sixth time in 10 games in a 12-2 ' whipping of the ngers. Alben Belle hit ~is 42nd homer, a three-run shot, as the Indians took · their 12th straight win from the ·. ngers over the past two seasons. · · In club records going back to '' 1960, the ngers have never been ' swept in a season series. And it's · doubtful it ever happened before that ,_since teams in an eight-team league ·-prior to 1961 met each other 22 times :· a year. . " I think it makes (Wednesday) "more imponant," nger manager Buddy Bell said. "You don't like to be swept by anybody. " I think they 're the best team in the league, but we still have major league players and nobody wants to me get swept." Bell hoped the ngers could do it Thesday, his 45th binhday. But it was also Thome's 26th binhday, and the Cleveland third baseman ended · up doing the celebrating. Thome is 6-for-7 with three walks in the first two games of the series. He had reached base I 0 straight times in hi• last three games l;>efore grounding out in the ninth. "As a hitter, you always want to get to the point where you're feeling confident, and that's how I am right now," said Thome, who hit a gamewinning homer in Cleveland's 2-1 win Monday at Detroit. "There's that old saying 'See it and hit it,' and that's what I'm doing right now." Thome is hitting .457 ( 16-for-35) with five home runs and 12 RBis against Deuoit this year. Thome's 30th homer gave the Indians a 3-21ead in the fifth, and he also hit an RBI single in the third off Justin Thompson ( 1-3), who was mailing his nger Stadium debut. The Indian s broke the game open by scoring four times in both the seventh and eighth innings. Belle's homer into the right-field upper deck finished the onslaught. Albie Lopez (4-4), pressed into I duty when Cleveland starter Dennis Martinez. reinjured his right elbow in the first inning, pitched 6 113 innings of two-hit, shutout relief. It was the longest relief stint for any Indians pitcber this season. "I told the guys tonight I was the fire alarm out there,'' Lopez said. "In case of fire, break glass." Martinez's fint stan sin~ July 30 lasted just 14 pitches before ~e had a recurrence ofa tendon injury in his right elbow. It happened right as he gave up a two-run double to Bobby Higginson in the first . Martinez had come off his second stint on the disabled list earlier in the day from the injury he originally suffered June 28 at Chicago. " He had a good 'wannup and threw the ~II well," Cleveland manager Mike Hargrove said. ·:'Then in the game it just went on him again." Hargrove said he didn't know if the injury would end Maninez's season - or maybe even his career. "We' II just wait and see what the doctor says and go from there, " he said. In other AL games, ·:Mariners beat Yankees 7-4; :Royals get past Rangers 4-3 By BEN WALKER ; AP Baseball Writer At the most critical point in their ·season, there could be no worse place for the New York Yankees to . be playing. The Yankees found yet another •way to lose at the Kingdome, blowing a four-run lead Thesday night ·and falling to the Seattle Mariners 7·4. New York's lead in the AL East was cut to four games over Balti•·more - its smallest margin since -June 26 - and seven games over Boston. The Orioles beat Oakland 31 and the Red Sox defeated Califor;nia 2- I. 1 "We're in a pennant race now, ,folks,' ' Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "You have to find out what 'YOu're 'made of sooner or later, and ~it's our turn now." The Yankees once led the division by 12 games, but have recently cslumped while Baltimore and Boston :have been winning. New York lost \its third straight game, and fell to 1'4 at the Kingdome this year. Last season, the Yankees were 19 in Seattle, including three straight defeats that knocked them out of the playoffs. "You play the game over 162 games, it's•not always going to be wonderful," Torre said. "We're going to have to bounce back. That's the situation we're in right now." Pinch-hitter Jeff Manto hit a three-run homer off Graeme Lloyd (2-6) that capped a five-run rally in the sixth inning that made it 5·4. Manto was acquired from Boston on July 23 to boost the Mariners off the bench; Lloyd. who also lost Monday night in Seattle, was obtained last week from Milwaukee to bolster the Yankees bullpen . "That's what we got him over here for," Seattle manager Lou Piniella said of Manto. " Not necessarily to hit three-run homers, but to hit left-hand pitching ... Before the game, the Mariners announced that 1995 Cy Young winner Randy Johnson, sidelined most of the year with a back problem, will undergo season-ending surgery. The Yankees said that John Wet· teland, who leads the majors with 38 saves, is not yet ready to come off the 15-day disabled list. He is eligible to be activated today, but is still slowed by a strained right groin. In other games, Kansas City defeated Texas 4-3 in 10 innings, Milwaukee beat Chicago 4-2 arid Minnesota topped Toronto 6-4 in II innings. Orioles 3, Athletics I David Wells atoned for an awful outing last w~k in Oakland, holding the Athletics to one run in 7 113 · innings. _ Nine days earlier. Wells (10-12) was pulled after allowing seven runs in the first inning. He bounced back to win for the first time in five starts.

Also ousted on the hardcouns of the National Tennis Center were No . 14 Alberto Costa of Spain and No . 15 Marc Rossct of Switzerland, along with Japan's Kimillo Date, the women's No. 10 seed.

Among those advan,ing in the women's draw were No. 7 Jua Novotna of the C:tech Republic, No. 8 Lindsay Davenport and No. 17 Karina Habsudova of Slovakia: The first two days of play were overshadowed, at least in the interview room, by the seeding controversy and unprecedented re-draw by the USTA.

Meigs CRISCO SHORTENING Steelers lose Seals and Thigpen to rotator cuff and ankle injuries By ALAN ROBINSON PIITSBURGH (AP) - This time. the Pittsburgh Steeleis didn't wait unti I the season opener to begin losing key personnel to injuries. Already a radically reshaped team following a succession of offseason personnel moves, the Steelers learned Thesday that defensive right end Ray Seals will miss the season with a torn right rotator cuff. Seals led the Steelers' defensive linemen with 8 1/2 sacks last season and was No. 2 overall behind linebacker Kevin Greene. who now plays for Carolina. · Seals will be replaced b} Kevin Henry, who had 15 tackles and two sacks in 1995. " It 's a blow, and it's very unfortunate to lose a player the quality of Ray," coach Bill Cowher said. "But I guess we're becoming acclimated to it at this time of the year. " The Steelers might petition the NFL to schedule their bye week for Labor Day weekend next season. Last season, they lost cornerback Rod Woodson (knee) and quanerback Neil O'Donnell (broken hand) to serious i,Yuries in the first half of theor opener agamst Detroot. The Steelers aren't certain exact- ly when Seals was hurt, but he tried unsuccessfully to play through the injury Friday against Philadelphia. An MRI test then revealed the injury. "He tried to play, but he wasn't effective," Cowher said. "It was discussed with Ray and the doctors, and we thought this was the best thing to do. " Seals' injury means the Steelers will probably be without both oP their starting defensive ends in Sunday's opener at Jacksonville. Bremson Buckner hasn't played since injuring a knee in the first exhibition game and would be replaced by ex-Browns lineman Bill Johnson. Cowher also has scrambled since training camp began ~ix weeks ago just to find enough healthy receivers to practice. Ernie Mills. the Steelers' top bigplay receiver, in the postseason, tore a knee ligament in the Super Bowl and still hasn't resumed practicing. He is on the physically unable to per· form list and will miss at least six weeks. Also. Yancey Thigpen. who tied John Stallworth's team record with 85 catches last season, sprained an ankle in practice Monday and may not play Sunday. Earlier, he injured both of his big toes and@ hamstring. "I asked him Monday if he walked under a ladder," Cowher said. With Mills ~nd Thigpen hurting, Charles Johnson and Andre Hastings will be the starting receivers by default. Kardell Stewart will slide back into his Slash role a; part-time receiver and quarterback after losing the quarterback's job to Jim Miller. If nothing else, Stewan·s versatility and the Steelers' growing injury list means Jacksonville must spend more time preparing for the possible variations in Pittsburgh's game plan and lineup. "You'll see him often - and everywhere," Cowher said of Stewan, who accounted for touchdowns 1 by rushing, passing and receiving~ last season. "This guy could go into the game at any point and be there ' for awhile." Even quanerback? Apparently so, even though Miller - who has only three quarters of NFL playing experience - is the designated staner. Cowher won't confirm it, but he might plug in Stew an not just for an occasional play or two, but entire drives. Miller might play the first down or two, but Stewan would enter on third down and play the rest of the receiver as "she." But Patriots .owner Robert Kraft thought the comment crossed the boundary of good taste. "That's not the standard we want to set. That 's not the way we do things," Kraft said Thesday. "It's just like there was a player last year that gave the finger to the crowd: He's not here anymore ." Kraft said he let his feelings be, known to Parcells. Asked about the content of that conversation, Kraft repeated the story about the fingerwaving player and its moral: "He's ,, not here anymore." Parcells did not return a call seeking comment. Patriots observers say Parcells has addressed other players similarly in the past. But it attracted more attention this time because of the draftday power stru)lgle over whether to select the former Ohio State wideout in the first place. Parcells wanted to take a defensive player with the No.7 pick overall, but the Patriots took Glenn because of Kraft's feeling that the team needs to upgrade its offense if it is to compete for a Super Bowl title. Then, Glenn injured his hamstring and missed the entire exhibition season with what Parcells insisted was a mild strain. Asked about The Steelers' hope that switching quanerbacks on the ny will prove so disruptive to defenses that breakdowns and big plays will develop. "He'll be Slash again, with a few new wrinkles," offensive coordinator Chan Gailey 'said. ' Meanwhile, the Steelers released long snapper Kendall Gammon and claimed center-tight end Kirk Botkin off waivers from New Orleans. Saints special · teams coach Bobby April, who held the same job with Pittsburgh last season, promptly signed Gammon as Botkin's replacement. The Steelers also re-signed offensive lineman Tom Myslinski only two days after cutting him to reach the 53-man roster limit. Glenn one day at training camp, Par-: cells said. "She's making progress. "i Kraft's wife, Myra, said at last: week's kickoff luncheon that Par-: cells' comment was "disgraceful." 1 "I hope he's chastised for that," she said, clenching her eyelids and pursing her lips in obvious anger. "It was the wrong thing for anyone say." The problem was also magnified because of this spring's Christian Peter fiasco, in which the team 1 drafted the Nebraska defensive line- i man and then renounced the rights to him after an outcry over hi s history of violence against women . Both in cidents attracted negative attention to the team, including columns in the news sections of The Boston Globe.

The first round was to be completed today as ninth-seeded Wayne Ferreira played fellow South African David Nainkin and Spain's Felix Mantilla met Fernando Meligeni of Brazil. In another early second-round match today, 15th-seeded Gabriela Sabatini, the 1990champion, played American Ann Grossman. Edberg was in vintage form against JQajicek, his serve setting up eas~olfey winners as he covered t)J& court lightly and quickly. ' "It's a wid that I can be proud of." Edberg said. "It's never easy to beat the Wimbledon champion."

Rickey Dudley was the top 'tight end in college football. Gone. Terry Glenn won the Biletnikoff Award as the best receiver in the land. Gone.

After his sophomore year, had he been eligible for the NFL draft, he would have been the first player picked. However, he is not a lock this year to even be first-team all-American quarterback. That honor could go to Aorida's Danny Wuerffel, who set an NCAA record for passing efficiency last year when he completed 210 of 325 passes for 3,266 yards and 35touchdowns with just 10 interceptions. This also looks like a good year for ru~ning backs. As a sophomore Iowa State's Troy Davis became the first back in NCAA history to rush for more than 2,000 yards and not win the Heisman. And he gained those yards against teams like Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas State. Another top returning back is Nonhwestern's Darnell Autry, who as a 19-year-old sophomore carried Wildcats to the Rose Bowl by rushing for 1,675 yards and 14 scores. The best big man is Ohio State's massive offensive tackle Orlando Pace, who could be the top overall player in the country. • On defense, it looks like a good year for cornerbacks, but linebackers, tackles and safeties are only average. There are some terrific punters, but no standout placekickers. What follows is a pre-season allAmerican team based on projected college production in 1996, not pro potential nor how well the player is · promoted. · Quarterback: Peyton Manning, 6-4, 215, Tennessee, jr. In 1994 Archie Manning's soo was the SEC Freshman of the Year and in 1995 he was the best quarterback in the nation as completed more than 64 percent of his passes for 2.954 yards with an amazing 22-4 touchdowninterception ratio. He has great field vision and instincts, a superior work ethic, great maturity and poise, and quick, shon, compact throwing motion and a strong, accurate arm. His decision making is e~cellenl Running bac:k: Troy Davis, 5-7, 188, Iowa State, jr. The Cylcones did not have a good team in 1995 and had to play four top ten teams. Nevertheless, the 20-year-old sophomore, carried the ball 345 times for 2,010 yards and IS touchdowns and led the nation in rushing aod all-purpose yardage. He is not very big, but he has heart, deceptive strength, great staying power, instant speed, superior run skills and an uncanny knack for knowing just when to cut back. He runs low to the ground and is almost impossible to get a clean shot at. Running back: Darnell Autry 5I0, 211, Northwestern, jr. A fanner high school sprint champion and discus thrower, he literally carried Northwestern to the Rose Bowl, rushing for 1,675 yards and 14 touchdowns. He is a big, powerful runner who can punish the defense, · yet has the speed and vision to break the long run and to go the distance. All·purpose back: Warrick Dunn, 5-8, 180, Aorida State, sr. He has great quickness and shuttle quickness, the ability to stop and start in a flash, toughness, speed, balance, detennination and very good pass ~atching and kick return skills. He is cut from the Dave MeggettEric Metcalf mold . Tight end: Tony Gonzalez, 6-5, 235, California,jr.ln 1995 he caught 37 passes for 541 yards and 4 touch· downs including 10 receptions for 150 yards m the sea<on finale against Stanford. Now with new head coach Steve Mariucci putting in his version of the West Coast offense, he could double last year's pass catching totals. Gonzalez is an exception athlete who also plays a major role on California's basketball team . On the gridiron he is a big wide receiver playing tight end and a constant threat to split the zone and make the big catch. Wide nceiven Mwcus Harris, 61, 210, Wyoming, sr. He may not be the fastest receiver around, and he may not face a steady diet of star cornerbacks every week, but his productivity and film grades are impossible to overlook. In 1994 he emerged catching 71 passes for 1,431 yards, If touchdowns, aod last year his numbers wen: even.b etter78-1 ,423-14. He has tremendous hands, hand-eye coordination and pass catching skills. He is not afraid of being hit inside, knows how to use his size to maximum advantage. Wide receiver: Rae Carruth, 510, 188, Colorado, sr. He looks like a running back in terms of body build and running skills. He runs like a sprinter, which he is, and catches like a wide receiver. And unlike most speed-type receivers, he goes inside to catch the ball and extends his body and blocks like crazy. Center: Jeff Mitchell, 6-3 1/2, 290, Florida, sr. A fanner defensive lineman and offensive guard, he was the glue that held Florida's line together until the Fiesta Bowl last year and saw to it that a less-thanmobile quarterback had plenty of time to scan the field. Guard: Chris Naeole, 6-3, 311, Colorado, sr. He brings a nasty disposition. He is a big, tough ornery wide body with the strength and desire to dominate opponents and enough agility to block and pulL He can be explosive and can also anchor against a bull-type rusher. Guard: Dan Neil, 6-1 112, 285, Texas, sr. He started at center for two years before winning all-American honors after moving to guard in 1995. He is very strong, durable and productive. A nasty player, he tries to put his man away on every play. Tackle: Orlando Pace, 6-5 , 320, Ohio State, jr. He was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1994, the Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year in 1995 when he won the Lorn- bardi Award and was a unanimous all-American and could be the first offensive lineman to make a serious run at the Heisman this fall. He has awesome size and ability, a long wingspan and quick feet He destroys defensive linemen. Thckle: Steve Scifres, 6-3 114, 290, Wyoming, sr. The best thing about Scifres is what his man does not do, which is get near the ball-carrier or passer. A very efficient four. year starter, he comes off the ball hard, plays with good knee bend and understands blocking angles and position. Defense ..

As a junior he was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year when he had I03 tackles, II for loss, 14 quarterback sacks and 48 quarterbacks hurries. He is quick, fast, active, aggressive and relentless in pursuit End: Jared Tomich, 6-3, 252, Nebraska, sr. He is an explosive upfield pass rusher who plays the game with great intensity. He has great dedication and gets bigger, stronger and faster every year. Tackle; Darrell Russell, 6-3, 295320, Southern California, jr. If he keeps his weight down and his motor running at full speed, he can be the best defensive player in the nation . He has great size, strength and speed, a thick powerful build and the ability to play with leverage. Tackle/End: Brandon Mitchell, 6-2, 278, Texas A&M, sr. A former high school all-American from Louisiana, he looks the pan and could be the real deal if he learns to play hard all the time. He has been clocked in 4.68 seconds in the 40 and has explosive upfield speed. Linebacker: Dwayne Rudd, 6-1, 233, Alabama, jr. He is not the flashy pass rusher that Cornelius Bennett and Derrick Thomas were, but he was Alabama's leading tackler last year and also chipped in with five sacks and numerous great plays. Linebacker: Terrell Farley, 5-11 1/4, 200, Nebraska, sr. The bottom line is that he makes big plays in big games. He literally flies all over the field. Is an explosive blitzer and a great kick blocker as well. Linebacker: Jamie Sharper.;6-2 3/4, 234, Virginia, sr. He can play the run, defend against the pass and rush the passer. He is not the second com- , ing of Kevin Hardy, but there are similarities. Back: Bryant Westbrook, 5-11 112. 200. Texas, sr. ·A physical confident corner, he is a Ronnie Lotitype hitter with cover skills and bigplay ability. He has great natural tools and is very aggressive. Back: Chris Canty, 5-9, 188, Kansas State, jr. Last year he was put in man on man coverage situations 335 times. He came away with the ball 8 times and broke up 17 balls while the receiver he was guarding caught 13 passes. Bac~; Shawn Springs, 5-10, 185, Ohio State, jr. The son of fanner Buckeye and Dallas Cowboy running back Ron Springs, he has the instincts and savvy to cover man on man and the ability to make big plays. Back: Kenny Wheaton, 5-9, 185, Oregon, jr.

By JEFF DIVERONlCA -Gannett Rochester Newspapers · Syracuse football coach Paul Pasqualoni has always been considered a pessimist. When the Orangemen win, he usually sports that scowl, a symbol of the detennination he wants his team to copy. So you wouldn't really expect him to be giddy about Syracuse's role as Big East favorite. "That rating is not going to put one touchdown on the board for us against North Carolina in the opener or anybody else," he said. "We've · got to go out and do it." Last season's 9-3 record and 41. 0 Gator Bowl rout of Clemson in what was supposed to be a transitional year was enough proof for pollsters.

"It gives us hope. It can happen." Now the Wildcats, who had the nation's toughest scoring defense last season, will be out to show that what transpired was no fluke . They are ranked 18th in the AP preseason poll, their first pre-season appearance since 1971. Returning are Darnell Autry at tailback. all-America linebacker Pat Fitzgerald, quarterback Steve Schnur and big-play defensive back Hurlhaifa Ismaeli, along with 10 other starters. "I think Nonhwestern is the team you got to beat," said Penn State coach Joe Paterno, whose team headed a pre-season poll to win the league title. "The guys who made them good are back. You have to beat them, they won't beat themselves." · Penn State, which tied for third with Michigan last season, has eight defensive starters back- including ' comer Brian Miller. But the Nittany Lions, ranked II th in the preseason, will need a strong season from quarterback Wally Richardson because they lost most of their offense, including wideouts Bobby Engram and Freddie Scott.

Purdue, meanwhile, must replace durable fullback Mike Alstott, a job that will probably go to Edwin Watson. "But behind the offensive line we had, anybody could have run." This year, the Lions have a new line, but that doesn't faze Enis.

End Nick Reiser and tackle Bob Tatsch had 96 tackJes and II 112 sacks respectively last year to earn first-team all-America mention. About the only dark spot on the horizon for the Gators is that they must again play at Wittenberg. A year ago, Wittenberg beat them 31 17 in Springfield.

One bright spot is the return of running back Billy West, who went down with a season-ending leg fracture after Pittsburgh had won two of its first three games. He was the team 's top rusher in 1994. Temple showed signs of improvement last year, winning its first Big East game against Pittsburgh, but the Owls shouldn't be much better. Thirteen starters return from a II0 squad. Temple played tough at times, though , under coach Ron Dickerson, who begins his fourth season with a 4-29 record.

Spurrier, who won the Heisman while playing for Florida in 1966. said Wucrffel is most interested in helping the Gators win the national title. "This kid's been a winner his whole life, and he is a team player," Spurrier said. "Individual awards are fine , but what gives Danny the most satisfaction is when we've been able to win championships." Of the remaining teams in the East, Georgia probably has the best chance of challenging Florida and · Tennessee, which has 15 starters back, for the division title . The Bulldogs, beset by injuries a year ago, were considered under· achievers under Ray Goff, who recruited well but never approached the on·thc-ficld success of predecessor Vince Dooley. Goff was fired in December, leaving behind a good nucleus of players that should make easier the transition under Jim Donnan, who took the job after Kansas coach Glen Mason accepted and then rejected i). South Carolina, Kentucky and Vanderbilt are hoping to be more competitive. Kentucky may have the best chance to improve after sign- ing quanerback Tim Couch, probably the mQst celebrated non-basketball recruit in school history. The West looms as a battle among Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Arkansas, the surprising division winner a year ago . Alabama lost defensive coord· nator Bill Oliver to arch-rival Auburn . But with nine starters returning from the unit he led. the Crimson Tide still have a chance to be formidable . Auburn also has all but two starters back on defense, while LSU bolstered a team that made its first bowl appearance in seven years with an outstanding recruiting class. Inexperience at quarterback is a concern at Arkansas; Mississippi is still trying to recover from NCAA sanctions, and Mississippi State faces a tough schedule that may prevent the Bulldogs from meeting modest expectations. There's nothing modest about Sp"urrier. "Our goals are very high, as they usually are, but we do have a team that has a chance to meet them," Spurrier said.

In the Big 12's first season, Nebraska and Texas get nods as lords of their divisions By DENNE H. FREEMAN DALLAS (AP) - The Big 12 hasn 't played its first game, yet it's already being hailed as the greatest conference in !he history of college footbalL By combining the Big Eight with the best from !he Southwest Conference, the Big 12 could be the big bully this season. The problem is, teams like Nebraska, Colorado, Texas and Texas A&M may end up knocking each other out of the national title picture. "It'll be interesting to see how !he pecking order falls," said A&M coach R.C . Slocum. "Right now, Nebraska is obviously at the lOP of the beap. Everything else is still on the back burner. Nebraska is the flagship team of this conference." And !he No. I team in the AP preseason polL Last year, seven teams now in !he Big 12 were ranked in the Top 25. As the '96 season begins, six teams are in the preseason poll Nebraska, Colorado at No. 5, Texas at No. 8, Texas A&M at No . 13, Kansas State 21st and Kansas 24th. The impressive numbers go on. Seven Big 12teams played in bowls last season. Six won. The 12 teams had a combined 49-10 record against non-conference opponents. The Big 12 became a reality on Feb. 25, 1994, but its took time to smooth out the details, such as hiring a commissioner, agreeing on admission policies, creating a conference title game on Dec. 7 in St. Louis and deciding to call Dallas the home office. On July I, with Steve Hatchell as commissioner, the Big 12 officially opened for business. The league has two divisions. The North consists of Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas State, Kansas, Iowa State and Colorado. The South has Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Nebraska was picked by Big 12 coaches as the team to beat North, while Texas is the choice in the South.

As nation's largest Division 1-A conference, WAC takes steps into uncharted territory By TONY PHIFER Fort Collins Coloradoan Banking on the age-old marketing ploy that says bigger is bener, the Western Athletic Conference will embark on a journey into the unknown in 1996. Facing the prospect of being left behind while others underwent expansion-ius, the WAC answered the frenzy with an explosion. As a result, the league now boasts of being the nation's largest Division I conference, with its 16 members spanning 4,000 miles -and five time' zones. Eat your heart out, Big 12. "There for awhile," muttered Brigham Young coach LaVell Edwards, "I thought every school that sent in a postcard was going to be asked to join." The newcomers are Southwest Conference orphans Texas Christian, Southern Methodist and Rice; Big West escapees UNLV and San Jose State; and longtime independent Tulsa. They bring a combined 1995 record of 18-47-1 and four minor bowl appearances in the '90s hardly the stuff that makes the other leagues shudder. The WAC, however, was more concerned with televisions than touchdowns when it expanded. The league now has footholds in the San Francisco, Dallas-Fan Worth and Houston TV markets in addition to its traditional places in San DiegoLos Angeles and Denver. Whether anyone in the Bay Area cares about a San Jose State vs . Texas-EI Paso game , however, remains to be seen. WAC has been split into four four-team quadrants, which have been paired in eight-team divisions. The division winners meet in the league's first championship game, set for Dec. 7 in Las Ve~as. Utah and San Diego State have Top 25 potential, while BYU, Texas Christian, Wyoming. Air Force and Colorado State should have chances to compete for the WAC's three bowl spots. "Right now, I like our league and I like this system," Wyoming coach Joe Tiller said. "But whether or not we did the right thing will be answered in a couple of years." Utah appears to have the inside track to the title. The Utes shared the 1995 crown with Colorado State, BYU and Air Force. winning their last four games to finish 7-4. They feature the best - and biggest- running back most college football observers have never heard of - Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala, a 276-pound terror who runs a 4.55 40. Coach Ron McBride really didn't know what he had last year when Ma'afala was a true freshman, but won't make the same mistake again. "He's the best running back I've ever been around," he said. ' Despite 24-year-old playoff format, The Utes return 15 starters, including safety Harold Lusk, who should be the leader of a solid defense. San Diego State will challenge with offense, offense, and more offense. The Aztecs return a I ,000yard rusher (George Jones), two I ,000-yard receivers (Will Blackwell and Az Hakim) and a 3,000-yard passer (Billy Blanton). Jones is a Heisman Trophy contender after gaining I ,842 yards and scoring 23 touchdowns last year. He broke ex-Aztec Marshall Faulk's WAC single-season rushing record and is the league's reigning offensive player of the year. BYU, which missed a bowl bid last year for the first time since 1977, has 14 starters and Edwards' best recruiting class in years to work with. Quarterback Steve Sarkisian (3,437 yards, 20 TDs) could be the next in a long line of Cougar greats, and tight end Chad Lewis is one of the nation's best. Air Force once again will drive everyone crazy with the wishbone, mainly because quarterback Beau Morgan is so good. He became only the eighth player in NCAA history to pass and rush for more than. I ,000 yards in a single season in '95 when he was responsible for a WAC-.best 31 TDs.

Low Prices! (Continued from Page 12) • • "',.. .:____~___;,_ _ _ It's still a big day, even this year of the 50th Associated Press state high school football poll, which will begin in a few weeks. . In these days of computer raungs and playoffs, some may s~y the poll is a relic- - or at least a cunosn. Yet · is still provokes opm10n an~ique s interest. Gerry Faust started following the poll in grade school because of hiS father's teams at Dayton Chaminade. "I've followed it religiously since then. To this day, I watch for it every week ," said Faust, who . guided Cincinnati Moeller to poll supremacy before moving on to Notre Dame. The sanctioning body of the state's high schools has implemented playoffs, switched from one to two classes, and moved from three classes to ultimately six divisions. Twelve teams were in the playoffs when they began in 1972. Now there' are 96. In three years, there will be 192 teams in the postseason. Still, the poll has continued. "It adds a lot of flavor to the sport," Bruce said. "People look forward to the polls. It creates mterest in the games." Former Newark Catholic coach J.D. Graham satd fintshing first in the poll was the only way a team could be recognized as a state champion -- until the playoffs started. "It changed a little, but I've always felt being recognized No.I by the AP was a tremendous.l'onor," he said. Somewhere, 126 plaques denoting the poll champion sit in trophy cases at high schools across the state. Massillon owns 13 of them, all from the days wlien the AP poll was the only way to decide a state champion. Cincinnati Moeller and Newark Catholic dominated in the 1970s and 1980s, winning nine and eight trophies, respectively. Cleveland St. Ignatius has won six of the last eight poll crowns and has backed that up by winning the last five playoff titles. The poll reflects trends and poses questions. Massillon wasn't mentioned in the first poll but then won the next seven. Why did the Tigers pile up 13 AP poll titles but have never won a GOOD state championship on the field since the onset of the playoffs? Moeller, which didn't have a team until1963, didn't appear in the first 19 polls but then won nine of II titles from 1974 to 1984. But what about Cincinnati as a whole? In the first 26 polls, no team from the Queen City til!is'!i@ in the top two. " I know that used to frost all the coaches in the south," Faust said. What caused St. Ignatius to erupt, coming from football limbo to national prominence? Unmentioned in the final poll for 23 straight years, the Wildcats rose to No .

And what to make of the fact that only four of the top 18 teams in the all-time poll - a combination of the previous 49 - arc public and not parochial schools? Since the Ohio High School Athletic Association began the playoffs in 1972, the poll voters have selected 92 No. I teams. Twenty-seven have gone on to win the playoffs.

Pac-1-0 title and Top 10 bid By KEN PETERS LOS ANGELES (AP) - Since .John Robinson returned to Southern California, his team has made steady progress. This is the season the coach hopes the Trojans move into the Top I0. "We1e on our way b~ck," said Robinson, starting his fourth season of his second go-around at Southern Cal. "I think there are only one or two teams you talk about as being in the elite each year. Nebraska cer· tainly ·belongs in it. Florida State belongs in it. Miami was in it. "We have not been able to get back into it. But neither has any oth· er Pac-10 team, although Washing· ton .was a few years ago." Last season, the Trojans won a share of the Pac-10 before beating Northwestern in the Rose Bowl to cap a 9-2·1 season. The biggest prot>tern has been Southern Cal's failure to beat its two biggest rivals UCLA and Notre Dame. Southern Cal has a five-game losing streak against the Bruins and has not beaten the Irish since 1982. With Bob Toledo replacing Terry Donahue as coach at UCLA, the Trpjans may jusl be able to break that spell. Getting back into the national pic- . he was familiar with in the Pac-10," ture might not be easy. Robinson Robinson said. "So I'm worried said Donahue told him he noticed a about any of us getting back to that big difference between Nebraska level. I think our conference is and Pac-10 teams. working to be among the best." "Terry was shocked at how much No Pac- t 0 team finished in the better Nebraska was than any of the Top 10 last year. Soutbern Cal was teams that he usually coached or that (See PAC-10 · Page 15) 00 --~~~~----------~----------------------------------~------~~A p poll_ /iSf..• ~<C:::::on:::.tin::,:ue=d..:.:.fro::m:..:.P,::::ag:.:..e ':.:.3l:.__ _ _ _ ____.__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _-=::-------::::-""7":-::--:---------:-:-----8-C\aywn Nonhmont 9-Barben on 10-Sandusky ClauAA · 1-Cin .

Suitable replacements are there for Searcy and Greene, however, but the uncenainty at quarterback could leave the Steelers in a close race for first place. Jim Miller won a three-man competition with Mike Tomczak and Kordell Stewart, who is detennined to end his "Slash" reputation as a multi-position threat, for O'Donnell's spot. Miller has an emerging star to throw to in Yancy Thigpen, whose 85 catches in 1995 set a team record .

Will Wolford replaces the departed Searcy in the line. Defensively, the Steelers are wellstocked at linebacker despite the loss of Greene, who hild 35 112 sacks in three seasons, but was slowing down at age 34. Greg Lloyd leads the group, ably supported by Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland, Jason Gildon and Jerry Olsavsky. Rod Woodson, voted one of the best cornerbacks in NFL history, returns after missing all but one regular-season game with a knee injury. During training camp, he even practiced at wide receiver. "Slash" Stewart, meet "Slash" Woodson. Cincinnati adds last year's injured rookie, Ki-Jana Carter, to an offense that sparkled through the air behind Jeff Blake, but was 24th in the NFL on the ground. Carter, the top pick in the 1995 draft, was selected to correct that imbalance and gets the chance a year late. The Bengals, dead last in total defense and 29th in pass defense. did not draft a defensive player until the Jourth round, but did address the sec· ondary problems by signing Ashley Ambrose from Indianapolis, Jimmy Spencer from New Orleans and Bo Orlando from San Diego. John Copeland anchors a young defensive line, where the Bengals are still waiting for "Big Daddy" Dan Wilkinson to blossom, although he led AFC tackles in sacks with eight last year. Houston has one of the up-and· coming teams in the league, but iron· ically, the OilerS could have few fans to share the e~citement in what is likely the franchise's last year in Texas. Coach Jeff Fisher brought top rookie quanerback Steve McNair along slowly last season, and he responded late in the year with two victories as a starter. Chris Chandler had his best season while McNair watched on the sidelines, and if :Chandler starts, Fisher won't need :much of an excuse to switch to the franchise player in waiting. • Chris Sanders, who led the NFL ~n yards-per-catch (23.5) as a rookk has a new running mate at wide )'eceiver on the Oilers. Willie Davis, pne of the top yards-per-catch receivers in the league the last four ifears, was signed from Kansas City to replace Haywood Jeflires. · Rodney Thomas rushed for nearly 1,000 yards as a part-time rookip starter, but he eventually will share . time or make way for Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George, who was impressive in camp and preseason · games. Ronnie Hannon replaces Todd MeNan as the third-down rece1ver out of the backfield. Houston ranked a surprising fifth in the NFL defensively, thanks to strong linebacker and secondary play. Michael Barrow, Joe Bowden IJIId Eddie Robinson manned the linebacker spots in 1995, but Robinson was signed by Jacksonville. He will be replaced by 10-year veteran AI Smith, injured for all but two games last year. In the secondary, safety Blaine Bishop and cornerback Darryll Lewis made the Pro Bowl, and big· play man Cris Dishman is designated the franchise player. Free safety Marcus Robertson blew out both knees the last two seasons, but he is · hcr try th'1s year. back for anot · The Baltimore Ravens fe II apart in their last season as the Cleveland Browns, and a new coaching staff headed by Ted Marchibroda hopes ' the new surroun d'mgs and .ewer distractions could mean a return to playoff contention. Marchibroda is shelving the twotight end offense favpred by Bill Belichick for a no-huddle, one-back set. The change should benefit quarterback Vinny Testaverde and veteran runners Earnest Byner and Leroy Hoard, who can spell eac~ other. . But the Ravens cut h1ghly paid reeeiver Andre Rison, who flopped under Belichick's system and was a divisive force in the locker room. The defense will be bolstered by the return of 1994 Pro Bowl safety Eric Thmer and the addition of rookie linebacker Ray Lewis, but there are still too many holes. It took Jacksonville coach Tom Coughlin one season and two off- seasons to build the NFL's biggest offensive line. Searcy joins last year's first· round pi'k.

Natrone Means, ,(aimed on waivers from San Diego, will run behind that huge line, teaming with second-year man James Stewart. Mark Brunell enters the season as a starting quarterback for the first time, and like most speedy young passers, he tends to run too often.

In the preseason poll, Southern Cal is No. 7 and Arizona State No. 20. Quarterback. Brad Olton will run the offense, which has 1,000-yard rusher Delon Washington returning. But the Trojans lost a conference· high 13 starters and aren't a lock for the conference title. "I would put four teams about neck and neck: Oregon, Arizona State, Washington and ourselves," Robl'nson said. "And 1 think Stan· ford's going to have a good team." Arizona State, with Bruce Snyder 1·n his fifth season, may provide the biggest obslliCle in the Troians' path back to the Rose Bowl. ' "I reaiize we're not as lightly regarded as some years in tbe past and that's OK," Snyder said. "We'd be very dissatisfied if we aren't bet· ter than a year ago." The Sun Devils, 6-5 last season, will be ted by fourth-year starter Jake Plummer at quarterback and wide receiver Keith Poole. They retiD'D nine starters on offense and eight on defense. Oregon is still riding high, with the Ducks' having made two consecutive New Year's Day bowl appearances for tbe first time in history_ the Cotton Bowl last season and the Rose Bowl a year earlier. "Most people have picked USC and Arizona State, but I think we proved a couple of years ago it doesn't matter where you're picked, it matters how you play," Oregon coach Mike Bellotti said. "I think success breeds success. Fans are very excited; 1 think we've sold something like 27,000 season tickets. There's tremendous interest about this upcoming season. We think of that as a positive pressure." In a conference that has a wealth of fine quarterbacks, Oregon's Tony Graziani rates among the best. The Ducks' defense, however, has a lot of question marks coming off a 9-3 record in 1995.

Running back Rashaan Shehec, who led the conference in scoring last season, returns, as does inside linebacker Ink Aleaga, who led the Huskies with 99 tackles during a 74-1 campaign last year. At Stanford, second-year coach Tyrone Willingham hopes to contin· ue the success he had in his first year, guiding the surprising Cardinal to a 7-4·1 record and being voted Pac-10 Coach of the Year. Stanford led the conference in scoring at 30.8 points per game last season. The Cardinal will have a new There are two new·coaches in the Pac-10, Toledo at UCLA and Steve Mariucci at California.

A consensus pick as an also-ran in the AFC West, the Chiefs had the NFL's best record, 13-3. They also finished first in the NFL in rushing yardage despite not having a runner with 900 yards, first in the league in sconng defense, ·first in turnover differential and second in total defense. The playoffs were another matter, especially on offense. In a I0-7 second-round loss to Indianapolis. Steve Bono threw three interceptions. Bono, a career backup before becoming the Chiefs' staner at age 33, threw just I0 interceptions in the regular season, even though coach Marty Schottenheimer rotated four wide receivers all season. This year, Tamarick Vanover and Lake Dawson should be in for most plays, which should lead to some consistency. "Steve played pretty steady all year, " backup QB Rich Gannon said. "How many guys have been 13-3 in their first year as a staner? People don't realize 16 games is a long haul. It takes a toll. People•don 't realize there's so much information to absorb."

The Bend Area team is in the midst of three straight losing records. However, with 17 lettermen and nine offensive st.arters returning, this just might be the year they revive the tradition that once reigned proud. Second-year head coach Ed ·Cromley and assistant coaches Lewis Hall , Tom Cullen and Billy Cottrill are working diligently with a squad of some 43 prospective candidates to try and bring an end to the losing seasons at the Bend Area school. "We have a real good chance this year at becoming better than any of the past five seasons," Cromley said. "We've accomplished more dunng our preseason prac tice sessions because most of these kids have had a year to learn our system and now we can incorporate even more the things we need to do in order to be successful." Wahama will field a veteran team · during the 19% fall campaign, with 16 seniors and I 0 juniors among the players competing for staning positions when they open the season at Hamlin on Friday night. While the experience factor will be in their favor, once again lack of size might hurt the WijS squad. Cromley said, "We're still not very big up front but we're a lot strongerian we were last year because ese guys worked hard during the o ~ason . Our strengths will most definl\ely be our experience and the speed we possess in the backfield .... Depth on the interior line is something we are attempting to address during the preseason workouts." Cromley has made some personnel moves along the interior line that will help shore up those positions in the irenches. "But the younger players need time to adjust before they can help us .... We can't afford any injuries early in the year along the line." Topping the list of returnees will be a pair of three-year starters in senior running back D.ale Johnson and senior defen sive end Chris Brinker. Both received all-state recognition for their efforts on the gridiron during the 1995 season and will be counted on heavily this year to lead Wahama. Johnson (5-7, 160) was the White Falcons· leading scorer and ground gainer in 1995. He collected 105 points on 14 touchdowns, 18 PATs and one field goal, while running for 921 yards on 147 carries. The senior speedster has rushed for 1,845 yards during his career at Wahama. B~nker_also has .~aught ~~~Y.e of the all-state selection voters with his defensive capabilities. The 5-9, I 75pound senior defensi ve end has caused many teams to shy away from his side of the field in addition to being one of the most fearsome pass rushers in many years at the Bend Area school. Joining Johnson in the backfield this season will be returning junior quarterback David Mitchell (5-9, 145) along with senior fullback Tim Jordan (5- 8, 160). JamesSeel5- ll , 165,senior)and Seth Howard (6-3, 190, senior) will back Mitchell up at quarterback. Chris Roush (5-I 0, 165, junior), David Tennant (5-8, 140, sophomore) and Grant Huff (5-8, 150, sophomore) also figure to see action (See FALCONS on S) Meigs Marauders HeacJ coach Ill. ID. Yr.

Clinton, whose image flashed in the United Center as he watched delegates formally award him their standard Wednesday night, pumped his fist and gave the thumbs up when Ohio officially gave him a nomination that was never challenged. Vice President AI Gore and the man who formally nominated Clin-. ton, Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, praised their president to the towering roof of the house that Michael Jordan built and urged the country to make him the first Democratic president to be re-elected since FDR. Both also made a point of praising Bob Dole, with whom they both served in the Senate, calling him an honorable and dedicated man, but a man whose ideas were flawed . It was a triumphant night for the president; who helicoptered into this Toddlin' Town to end a four-day, five -state whistle-stop rail campaign. Clinton's hdme state of Arkansas was granted the privilege of casting the first votes. The roll call stretched well into the wee hours this morning and the hall emptied- only the delegations waiting to vote sticking around. The roll call was entirely ceremonial, but required by party rules. Clioton had no opposition this year, allowing him to concentrate on his administration and to pick on the Republicans who quarreled almost until April over who would lead them. "Democrats are proud. Ow- hopes are alive. And America is strong," said Gore, whose well-received speech listed Democratic accomplishments and their impact on Amer· ica. Gore brought the United Center to absolute silence with a tribute to his sister, Nancy, and her struggle to quit smoking, which ended in her death to lung cancer at 46. Gore also took a shot at Dole, dismissing the nostalgic speech he gave in San Diego pledging to be a "bridge" to values and traditions of yore. "Senator Dole offered himself as a bridge to the past. Tonight BiD Clinton and I offer ourselves as a bridge to the future," Gore said in a major speech previewing a possible bid for the top spot in 2000. Dodd and Gore, perhaps seeking to elevate the tone of a debate that has potential for nastiness. praised Dole as a war hero and honorable legi slator.

"It is not Bob Dole's reputation that I questton. It is his agenda for America. Sometimes a fine person has a flawed ideas. This is such a time." Just hours after Dodd made his paean to Dole and pleaded with his party to wage a high-minded campaign, Democrats from Dole's home state of Kansas took a sharp jab that seemed far out of bounds when they cast their votes for Clinion. Dennis Langley, of Hutchinson, alluded to characters in the "Wizard of Oz": "Like the Scarecrow, he (Dole) has no brains' .. . Like lhe Tin Man, Bob Dole has no heart ... like the Cowardly Lion, Bob Dole has no political courage." Dodd, as Democratic co-chair, worked hand-in-hand with Clinton to rebuild a party shattered by the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994 . "Let me say it plainly.

Should he retire, he would love to take another Southwestern Athletic Conference championship trophy with him. To do that, Grambling has to get past Jackson State or Southern. A little farther North, Hampton University, the newest kid on the block in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. has an excellent chance of capturing the conference title in only its second year in Division 1AA. Here is a capsule look at the conferences. Southwestern Athletic Conference Jackson State (9-3, 7-0) caught SWAC opponents napping in '95 and captured its first conference championship in five years and stxth m the past ·II years.

Debbie Haptonstall, principal, said Wednesday that litle I is now a school-wide program where special education teachers work in classrooms with regular teachers. In previous years Title I funding for teachers and equipment was designated for the instruction of students who had loo.- reading and math skills. Now because of the high percentage of students coming from low income families (determmed by free and reduced lunch program participation) Pomeroy Elementary qualifies for using those litle I federal dollars for school-wide programs. Haptonstall said that this means all students will benefit from spectal . instruction and equipment whtch .10 previous years has only been avail- · able to students needing extra help. She said that the regular teachers · of ea~:h grade level, along with the · Title 1 teachers and the special _edu,: cation teachers, are "team teachmg.

It is the second city.in the. nation. after 'Milwaukee, to use school vouchers. But unlike Milwaukee, the U25 million state-funded program in Cleveland allows parents to send · their children to religious schools. The parents ofabout I, 700 public school students in kinderganen through third grade have received vouchers to auend one of 49 private schools. ·The vouchers were awarded by lottery to low-income families and can also be used for private tutoring for students who stay in the district. The.vouchers worth up to $2,250 each in tuition will follow students through the eighth grade. Parents must pay from I0 percent to 25 percent of the tuition, depending on their income. Parents have credited the vouchers for a chance to send their children 4o private schools, "Without the vouche~ program, we'd never be able to do this. When I got news of the voucher, I felt like I'd won the lottery," Maria Urbansky, who sends her two children to a pri- vale school, said Wednesday. The voucher program also has helped parents like Laura Meske. Meske decided not to send her children to public schools after she saw elementary-school children deal drugs on a school bus parked near her home. Meske and her husband managed to send two of their three children to a·private school with their own rnoney. This year, they received a voucher for their third child. "It's a big difference," Meske said. "We were just making it last year with $240 a month, and we were dreading having to find $360 a month . I just wish all parents had this opportunity." The voucher program began Wednesday after it overcame a court challenge by a group of civil libeFtarians and the 20,1)()()-membcr American Federation of Teachers. The opponents argued that the program, because it gives money to ·send children to religious schools, violates the constitutional separation of church and state. The Legislature authorized the voucher program in June 1995 for the Cleveland school district, which is undercoun•ordered state supervision. •• t ' Gore punishes Republicans, praises his boss By PENNY BENDER man .
