Indiana's Bob Kennedy Is the defending champion in the 1,500 meters. Indiana State high Jumper Steve Smith, a Southport product, is a favorite in the high jump.

It's rare to compete for an NCAA national champion and then coach the same school to another national title. Doug Brown has that chance this week. Brown won the steeplechase In 1974, helping Tennessee to its only NCAA men's track and field championship. He now coaches the Volunteers, the favorites In the four-day NCAA meet beginning today at Oregon's Hayward Field. "We're going to be in the hunt by sheer numbers," said Brown, whose team qualified 16 Individuals and one relay team.

Should Tennessee win, the Vols would end LSU's two-year reign as champion. 1 4 'V Custom Homes By ROB GLOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS Paris Clay-court novice Pete Sampras pulled a role reversal as he rallied from two sets down to defeat Thomas Muster at the French Open Tuesday, retreating to the baseline to win a heavyweight slugfest. The U.S. Open champion abandoned his serve-and-volley tactics alter losing the first two sets. He then beat Muster, a 1990 French Open semlflnalist who excels at pounding opponents with grounds! rokes, at his own game.

It was the first time Sampras, who has little experience on clay, had recovered from a two-set deficit to win a match. The 4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 victory took nearly 3Va hou.rs. While Sampras changed his style to adapt to the slow clay of Roland Garros, top seeds Stefan Edberg and tioris Decker won by sticking with what they do best serving hard and rushing the net. Edberg and Becker, victims of historic opening-round upsets last year at the French Open, won easily this time by turning the clay courts Into a Wimbledon annex with their grass-court styles. Top-seeded Edberg drew a qualifier, Bart Wuyts of Belgium, and won 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.

Becker had a tougher opponent, Jordl Arrese of Spain, but had little trouble in a 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 CAR PHONES XRlMAftK Defending women's champion Monica Seles defeated Radka Zrubakova 6-3, 6-0 and third seed Gabricla Sabatinl was even more economical, eliminating Marianne Werdcl 6-1, 6-1. Sabatinl and Steffi Graf each could dethrone Seles as the No. 1 women's player by winning the French Open. Eighth-seeded Zlna Garrison was a first-round loser for the second straight year. Garrison, a Wimbledon finalist last year, was eliminated 6-4, 6-0 by Japanese teen-ager Naoko Sawa-matsu.

Karel Novacek, the men's No. 14 seed, withdrew midway through his match with Magnus Gustafsson because of a twisted ankle, but all other seeds advanced without difficulty. The winning men's seeds were No. 9 Jim Courier, who defeated American compatriot Derrick Rostagno 6-3, 6-3, 6-0, and No. 8 Goran Ivanisevic, who was fined $1,000 for spitting in the direction of opponent Frederic Fontang of France.

On the next lap, they said, he asked again and was told yes. He then slowed on the third turn and stopped at the head of the pits, where a tractor towed him out of the way so racing could resume. The tow rope came loose, however, when the car wouldn't budge, and Charles Robinson, AP photo editor In Indiana who was monitoring a United States Auto Club channel on the scanner, said he heard a USAC official Instructed to tell Andrettl "to take his foot off the brake." "Here's exactly what happened," Mario said Tuesday from his office in Nazareth, Pa. "1 blew the engine Just coming out of Turn 1. When that happens, of course, you knock It out of gear.

On the backstretch. I wanted to double-check whether It was the engine because there was no smoke, so I picked up another gear, and I saw It was the engine. So that slowed me down quite a bit. "When I'm between (Turns) 3 and 4, coasting, I called the team and said, 'Warn Michael. Whether he needs It or not, I'm going to be creating a yellow because I can't make the "So Michael knew I was coasting and it looked like I was going to be at the choke spot of the pit.

1 wasn't going to create a bottleneck In the pit, In case somebody had to come In fast, so that's where I stopped." Andrettl said the people who heard the conversation on scanners "can make anything they want, but that's what I said." After the race, Tom Blnford, the chief steward, said he was not aware of the Andrettl conversation with his crew. "Mario's actions would have to be coupled with his motives," Blnford said, "We don't know about this and 1 don't contemplate any action." ANY DECISION on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway changing Its specifications to use normally aspirated engines apparently won't be announced until this fall. IMS and USAC officials said Tuesday they are giving "strong consideration" to the engine specifications now used In the Formula One series. "It Is also critically Important to provide the chassis and engine manufacturers with rules stability through the end of this decade," said speedway president Tony George, Indicating the changes could be put Into effect in time for the 1993 Indy 500. If they are adopted, the changes would make the current turbocharged engines obsolete and, In theory, provide greater competition.

The normally aspirated 3.5-liter engine Is a configuration now used In Formula One and World Sports Prototype championships. vThe Indy 500 Is the only Indy-car race sanctioned by USAC. All the other Indy races are sanctioned by Championship Auto Rklng Teams. 0 1991 KENTUCKY GIRLS ALL-STARS NO. PLAYER HT.
