JANUARY 9, 1991 From Associated Press reports Judge Dismisses Vincent's Motion NEW YORK A federal judie denied commissioner Fay Vincent't motion to dismiss a lawsuit by New York Yankees executive vice president Leonard L. Kleinman. U.S.

District Judge Leonard B. Sand, in a two-page memorandum, decided to allow Kleinman's lawyers discovery in the case. Kleinman was blocked by Vincent from succeeding George Steinbrenner as the team's managing general partner because the commissioner was investigating Kleinman at the time. Kleinman later was cleared of any wrongdoing in the $40,000 payment to Howard Spira and is now seeking damages from Vincent. Agents To Be Retried CHICAGO Sports agents Norby Walters and Lloyd Bloom will be retried separately on charges that they used cash and violent threats to recruit college athletes as clients.

Both were found guilty in 1989 after a five-week jury trial, but the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals last September reversed their convictions on racketeering and fraud charges. The appellate court said Walters had been denied a fair trial because jurors weren't allowed to properly consider his contention that he had acted without criminal intent. Bloom was unfairly denied a request to be tried separately, the appellate court said. Walters and Bloom were originally accused of persuading college athletes to sign on as clients in violation of NCAA eligibility rules.

Agassi Fined $25,000 LONDON Andre Agassi's tempestuous relationship with the tennis establishment cost him a record $25,000 fine, but he escaped suspension from this year's four major tournaments. Agassi was fined the maximum for pulling out of the inaugural Grand Slam Cup in December, a $6 million tournament boycotted by some other top players. Warrior Defense Drops Kings By JEFF MAJESKE Pharos-Tribune Asst. Sports Editor WIN AM AC Winamac's defense was a little "de-pressed" Tuesday night, but it was still enough to leave Lewis Cass feeling blue. Winamac didn't use its usual full-court press until the fourth quarter, but still shot out to a 17-4 advantage in the first quarter, and that was enough to sink the Kings, 52-39.

Winamac remains unbeaten at 14-0. Lewis Cass drops to 10-3. "About the last two or three games we've played, we've been getting in early foul trouble, so we abandoned the press and just played half-court man to man," Winamac coach Jim Swaney said. That defense, plus some antsi- ness on Cass' part, helped the Warriors grab a 13-3 lead halfway through the first period as the Kings missed their first seven shots. "We haven't played a team that plays the passing lanes as well as they do, and we better learn to deal with it real quick," Cass coach Steve Ford said.

"Coupled with their hard defense, we made some mental errors." The Kings rebounded and played the Warriors even the rest of the way but couldn't overcome Winamac's quick start. "I think that those first four minutes or so of the game were our best of the season as far as defense and contesting passes," Swaney said. "I also thought we did a good job blocking out, which is something we've been working hard on. Those things allowed us to get a nice lead, which against a team like this is what you have to do." Once the Warriors had their lead, they weren't about to let the taller Kings back in the game. Winamac ran a patient halfcourt offense for much of the remainder of the contest, eating up time while looking for layups.

"We ran the which can be a time-counsuming offense," Swaney said. "Even when we did not get a basket, it killed a lot of time, and it was almost like what we did against them last year. If you Basketball Andy Winamac's Lori Gudas sets up the Warrior offense on her way to a game-high 25 points Tuesday night. Monica Prather of Lewis Cass defends. run it long enough, you usually end up with a layup.

At times it was not smooth, but we usually ended up with something decent." Ford would have liked to have seen similar patience from his team early on. "I loved their patience," he said. "We did not do that in the first quarter. We were wanting to get the ball in the air to quick, but their pressure defense probably caused that." Cass climbed as close as eight, 35-27. with 3:20 to go in the third, but Winamac broke a four-minute scoring drought with a basket to.

Winamac plays host to South Central Friday in a boys-girls doubleheader with the Satellites. The girls' game begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by the boys' game.

Caston never led in the fourth quarter Heidi Scales blocked a shot, rebounded and threw down court to Josette Williamson, who dumped in a basket with three seconds left.

"This was a big win for us," Caston coach Debb Stevens said. "I think it's helping us to have some close games. North Miami has beaten Tippecanoe Valley and Peru, so they've beaten some good teams. They came to play tonight." Scales led all scorers with 20 points, while Williamson added 13. Shannon Stoner and Con Kinzie each had 15 points for the Warriors.

Broadway Logansport, IN 46947 Johnson Named Top NFL Coach DALLAS (AP) Jimmy Johnson didn't have a player of Pro Bowl caliber or one good enough to make even second team all-NFL. Somehow, however, his Dallas Cowboys won seven games and got into playoff contention, and that was good enough to earn him NFL Coach of the Year honors in just his second season Jimmy Johnson NFL Coach of the Year Selected by sportswriters and broadcasters polled by "the AP Jimmy Johnson DALLAS COWBOYS Pro record: YEAR TEAM W-L-T PCT. 1990 Cowboys 7-9-0 .438 1989 Cowboys 1-15-0 .063 in the league.

"We came a long way and we've still got a long way to go," Johnson said Tuesday. "I'm truly honored. I think the voters looked at the entire year and the improvement we had made over last year." Dallas had a six-game improvement under Johnson. They lost their last two games to Philadelphia and Atlanta after quarterback Troy Aikman suffered a separated shoulder.

Johnson got 18 votes from 80 sports writers and broadcasters in balloting conducted by The Associated Press. In 1989, the Cowboys were 1-15. the worst team in the NFL and in franchise history. "We were a ragtag team a year ago." Johnson said.

"It really gives me a good feeling, it really takes the edge off the way that we finished, to get this (award)." This season Dallas was 7-7 and needed a victory in either of its final two games to make the playoffs as a wild card. Johnson was a college teammate at Arkansas of Jones, who bought the Cowboys after the 19SS season. Johnson's quick rebuilding has helped smooth his and Jones' images after the firing of Landry. "Of course there was no way I could ever replace Landry in the eyes of many Johnson said. "I just wanted a chance to do things on my own merit.

I think winning this award helps our credibility." Eagles Assistant Replaces Ryan As Coach PHILADELPHIA (AP) Richie Kotite took the elevator to the Philadelphia Eagles' front office expecting to be fired and came down as the successor to coach Buddy Ryan. In a whirlwind performance Tuesday, Eagles owner Norman Braman fired Ryan and some six hours later replaced him with Kotite, the ousted coach's offensive coordinator. Kotite, 48, who at this time last year was an unemployed former offensive coordinator of the New York Richie Kotite Promoted Jets, was given a three-year contract, Braman made it plain what he expected. "It is time to stop being a bridesmaid and become a bride," said Braman, whose team has reached the NFL playoffs three straight years and each time has been eliminated in the first round. "We hope we made the moves today that will get us to the promised land (the Super Bowl)." Braman said he fired the controversial Ryan because he "felt the team had not reached the level that we could progress into the future." He said he told Ryan someone else was needed to taice the next step.

Why Kotite? Braman said he and club president Harry Gamble wanted to stay within the organization, and narrowed the field to Kotite and defensive coordinator Jeff Fisher. "We feel we have the nucleus of a fine football team," Braman told a news conference. "We didn't want to bring in someone who would have to start from scratch with new assistants, with an individual who basically was not familiar with the characteristics of Buddy Ryan our players or with our systems." Dismissed Kotite thanked Braman for "a once in a lifetime "I've been a coach since 1973, and since 1977 in the NFL. This is an outstanding football team, and for Mr, Braman to give an assistant an opportunity to be coach means an awful lot. It's kind of overwhelming," he said.

Earlier Tuesday, Braman went to Ryan's Veterans Stadium office and told the coach his five-year regime was over. "This obviously is not an easy decision," Braman said. "Buddy Ryan has done a good job with this football team. I feel however, that a change is in order to ascend to the next plateau." Hail of Fame Stats The career statistics for Rod Carew. Gaylord Perry and Ferguson Jenkins, who were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday.

Rod Carew 1 st 2nd baseman Avg. 1967-1985 .328 Gaylord Perry Pitcher HR 92 3,053 ERA 1962-1983 314 265 3.10 Ferguson Jenkins Pitcher 1965-1983 284 226 ERA 3.34 Baseball's Hall of Fame was founded in 1936 and established in Cooperstown, N.Y. in 1939. The first selections were Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson. and Walter Johnson.

The Baseball Writers' Association of America, several years later took over the voting following specified guidelines: Ten years of major league experience Seventy-five percent of the votes Retired for a minimum of five years (After minimum retirement, a player is on ihe ballot for 15 years; if not elected during that time, the name is dropped from ballot. Once dropped, the Veterans committee takes them into consideration.) Perry, Jenkins, Carew Headed For Baseball Hall Of Fame NEW YORK (AP) The wait is finally over for Gaylord Perry and Ferguson Jenkins and just beginning for Pete Rose. Perry and Jenkins, who missed their first two years on the ballot, were elected to baseball's Hall of Fame Tuesday night along with Rod Carew. "After waiting this long, it would really have been hard to take a disappointment for the third time." Perry said. "The first time 1 can accept.

The second time I was disappointed. But I feel wonderful now." Carew. who won seven American League batting titles, didn't have to wait at all and made it to Cooperstown on his first try. He is the 22nd player to be voted in the first year of eligibility. F.

Jenkins "I did positive things on the Held, positive things off the field, in the community," Carew said. "1 gave a lot of myself off the field." In order to gain election, a player must appear on 75 percent of the ballots cast by 10-year members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, and Jenkins just made it. A total of 443 members of the BB- WAA cast ballots this year, meaning 333 votes were needed for election. Jenkins had 334 votes for 75.3 percent. Carew made it by a more comfortable margin with 401 votes (90.5 percent) and Perry had 342 votes (77.2).

"I started not to have a group of friends over this year, but my son Jack insisted, and I'm glad he did," Perry said. Rollie Fingers, the all-time saves leader, had some friends at his house and a bottle of champagne on ice. His friends went home unhappy and he had to put the bottle away. "Probably the one thing that kept me from getting in was that Gaylord Perry and Ferguson Jenkins have been on the ballot the last three years, and with the numbers they put up it's tough to keep those guys out for very long," Fingers said. "1 might have to wait a couple of years." Fingers received 291 votes (65.6 percent) and Jim Bunning.

now a Kentucky congressman, got 282 (63.6 percent). It was Burning's 15th and final year of eligibility..
