J McEnroe dreams 01 gold NEW YORK (AP) - John McEn roe wants to crown his career with Olympic gold - in tennis or basketball if Michael Jordan doesn’t want to play. McEnroe, looking ahead to retire ment, said Wednesday he’s changed his mind about professionals playing in the Olympics and would love to join the U.S. team at Barcelona next summer. “It’s going to be the last year, probably, that I am going to be play ing a full schedule, and I’d like to be a part of the Olympics,” McEnroe said after winning his second-round match in the U.S. Open, 6-3,6-4,6-2 against Martin Laurendeau. “It is not going to feel as strange, now that professional basketball play ers are coming. I am definitely going to try to do my best to get in.” McEnroe would no doubt liven up the tennis scene at Barcelona. He’s barely been tested in the Open so far, but he’s already been slapped with verbal abuse and audible obscenity violations. McEnroe feels that all the years he put in playing for the U.S. Davis Cup team should weigh in his favor for a spot on the Olympic squad, even if his ranking isn’t as high as some other Americans. McEnroe said he can’t understand athletes who don’t want to play in the Olympics. “If Jordan doesn’t want to play, I am available for the basketball, too,” said McEnroe, who frequently attends NBA games. McEnroe didn’t always feel so strongly about playing in the Olym pics. He said he had mixed feelings about it in 1988, when he struck a deal with the men’s tour after missing a year. He had missed so many tourna ments that he had to play a couple around the time of the Olympics. Goran Ivanisevic, who beat fellow Croatian Goran Prpic 6-1, 6-3, 6-4, said he would never play for ethni cally tom Yugoslavia in the Olym pics or anywhere else. “I am finished with the Yugoslav- , ian Davis Cup team,” said Ivanisevic, the 12th seed in the Open. “I’m never going to play for-Yugoslavia any more. I will play only for Croatia.” On a muggy, languid afternoon Wednesday after a brilliant night of shooting stars with Jimmy Connors coming back from two sets down to beat Patrick McEnroe, most of the seeds advanced without much diffi culty. Guy Forget, No. 7, was the excep tion, losing to Jan Siemerink 4-6,6-3, 6-2,7-6 (8-6). No. 2 Stefan Edberg beat Jeff Tarango 6-3, 7-5, 6-0; Ivan Lendl, No. 5, beat Patrick Kuhnen 6-3, 6-2, 6-4; unseeded Michael Chang beat Todd Witsken 6-3,6-0, 6-2, and No. 3 Michael Slich advanced via a walkover against a dehydrated and ill Jimmy Brown. In women’s matches, No. 2 Monica Seles overcame a brief lapse to beat Emanuela Zardo 6-0,4-6,6-0; No. 7 Jennifer Capriati beat Petra Ritter 6 3,6-0, and No. 9 Jana Novotna beat Peanut Harper 6-2,6-3. i • ■ $ , - ' , I b ■■ r y h/^b y ^A^F^FJj ^Fy ^^b y A A V A m ^ ^ ^ I \ R ■ 9 IHw 1 n I r*^i I] H H H ■ ■■■■■iiHB&Miaiil Florida State won’t goof around at Pigskin Classic ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - With his team’sNo. 1 ranking and its quest for a national championship on the line, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden isn’t treating today’s Pigskin Classic like some Mickey Mouse bowl game. The Seminolcs arc used to tough early schedules, but Bowden knows how devastating an season-opening rout can be. A 31 -0 defeat by Miami knocked Florida Stale out of the No. 1 spot in the 1988 season and marred an 11-1 season. So the importance of containing Hcisman Trophy winner Ty Detmcr and the Brigham Young passing at tack isn’t lost on Bowden or the Seminolcs. “We’re treating it as a regular season big game and a big game we have to have,” Bowden said during a Eress conference at Disneyland, where e was accompanied by Goofy and Mickey Mouse. “Both of us have to have it.” At the least, they should remem ber Brigham Young’s 28-21 ambush of Miami last year in the top-ranked Hurricanes’ opener. Quarterback Casey Weldon said he learned the lesson of how quickly and easily a team can fall from No. 1. “It’s different than in 1988,” he said. “This team doesn’t take the prescason ranking loo seriously.” Facing Detmcr, however, is seri ous business. i u touiucraci earner, wno nccos just 426 more yards to break the col legiate career passing mark, Florida Slate plans to use stunt defenses and pull a few surprises. Like last season, the No. 19 Cou gars arc underdogs looking to pick off No. 1, bulthis lime they’re without an experienced offensive line behind Detmer and have a new crop of re ceivers. “We have so many young kids, some of them haven’t been on a trip,” coach LaVell Edwards said. “If we were going to Laramie it would seem like a bowl to them.” Edwards predicts good things, al though perhaps not right away, from a line that returns only senior guard Bryan May from last year’s team that was 10-3. “This group is going to be good, maybe one of the best," he said. “Whether or not it comes together tomorrow night or not remains to be seen." More and more PhDs across the country are recommending Hewlett Packard financial and scientific calculators to their students. And for some very strong reasons. “The HP 48SX Scientific Expandable has powerful graphics tools that are remarkably helpful to students learn ing mathematical concepts. And with the equation solver feature, it’s excellent for applying mathematics to engineering,” according to Dr. William Rahmeyer, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Utah State University. “The HP Business Consultant II has an equation solver and extensive math functions. These free the stu dents from computational tedium so they can think and interact on a higher level;’ says Dr. l^ee V. Stiff, a professor of math education at North Carolina State University, So go check out the HP calculator line at your college bookstore or HP retailer. You’ll agree, there’s no faster relief from the pain of tough problems. HP calculators. The best for your success. i WL7M HEWLETT WHIM PACKARD >( .
