Griffith and Jackson won't be eligible until second semester. "Yolanda was the No. 1 player in the nation Iwo years ago, a first-team Parade All-American," Smith said.

"She can do it all. '''Latonya has a tremendous first step. She's tremendous shooter and a great athlete." Smith describes Sabrina Holmes, a 5-11 forward-center from Las Vegas, as "a tremen-; doiis ballplayer with great jumping ability. She the game very well. If she has a weak-riijissVit's shooting outside the 10-foot range." Dionne Roberts, a 5-11 forward-center from Nassau, Bahamas, has a 30-inch vertical jump.

If everybody's eligible, I'll be disappointed if we don't win it all." Alison DeGenero of Vero Beach went to San Francisco to attend the World Series for the 44th consecutive year. He was at Candlestick Park, waiting for the first pitch, when his seat began to shake. "What's going on?" said DeGenero, 77, who has been blind since 1976. "An earthquake," said the man sitting next to him.

"A big one. Must have been better than 5 on the Richter scale." "How about that," said DeGenero, who has traveled to the Soviet Union, Finland and Italy wearing a jacket with the words "Baseball Worldwide" on the back. "I've been to 44 World Series and this is the most dramatic one of all." DeGenero said several people helped him get out of the stadium, on a bus and back to the St. Francis Hotel, where he had attended a party the night before as the guest of Bob Lurie, owner of the Giants. He was interviewed on television, where he described baseball as "the most unpredictable game that God ever gave mankind that's why it's so wonderful," and by several newspaper columnists and reporters.

Top-seeded Martina Navratilova defeated unseeded Anne Smith 6-3, 6-2 to move into the finals of the Virginia Slims of New England at Worcester, Mass.

Navratilova said that Smith, who has been limited by injuries, was playing "as well as she has played in recent years."

HOCKEY Soviets accused by ex-player Soviet hockey players and laboratory workers conspired to deceive drug testers at the 1986 World Championships in Moscow by hiding urine specimens behind toilets, former Soviet standout Igor Larionov claims in a new book. Larionov, who now plays for the NHL's Vancouver Canucks, also charges that Soviet national team coach Viktor Tikhonov ordered some players to receive injections even though they did not know the contents of the shots. Larionov, who wrote The Front Line Rebels, is a longtime critic of his ex-coach. RUNNING Strong field in NYC marathon Fred Lebow, race director of the New York City Marathon, annually boasts that the field for his race is the strongest ever.

For today's race, there is no arguing his point. The field of more than 23,000 includes the fastest men's and women's marathoners ever, the 1988 Olympic men's gold medalist, nine men who have bettered 2 hours, 10 minutes, and 11 women who have broken 2:30. In the first 19 years of the race, only five men Alberto Salazar, Rod Dixon, Geoff Smith, Rodolfo Gomez and defending champ Steve Jones cracked the 2:10 barrier over the demanding, 26-mile, 385-yard course through the city's five boroughs. And only six women Crete Waitz, Allison Roe, Julie Brown, Lisa Martin, Patti Catalano and Laura Fogli went under 2:30. "I think it will be a fast pace," said Pat Petersen, the fastest American in the field with 2:10:04 at the London Marathon in April.

International Raceway. The Victoria, B.C., resident will start today's 500-kilometer, 312-lap race 37th in the 43-car field.

Dick Trickle held off Mike Chase over the final 34 laps to win the AC Delco NASCAR Southwest Tour stock car race at Phoenix International Raceway. Trickle, driving a Chevrolet Camaro in his first-ever Southwest Tour event, beat Chase to the finish line by only .16 of a second.

Farr is battling breast cancer and undergoing chemotherapy in California. Scott Russell dominated qualifying for the Suzuki National Cup Finals at Road Atlanta in Braselton, with three victories. Russell trailed fellow Georgian David Sadowski early in the Katana 600 heat race, but on the final lap Russell, aboard a Yosdimura Sukuki, made his move to the front and nudged out Sadowski at the finish.
