MINNESOTA NAMES INTERIM MEN'S AD: Attorney Tom Moe agreed to a seven-month gig as interim men's athletics director at Minnesota, where his unofficial title will be chief negotiator. Moe, 6 1 a three-sport star for the Golden Gophers 40 years ago, said his top priority was redoing the contract of football coach Glen Mason, who guided Minnesota (8-3) to its best season in 32 years.

"I expect to play a lead role in the negotiations of that contract," Moe said Monday at a news conference where he was introduced. Moe replaced Mark Dienhart, a victim of the scandal that rocked the athletic department this year. However, negotiations were under way to keep Dienhart aboard in a consulting capacity, said Tonya Moten Brown, Yudof 's chief of staff. ARMY FIRES FOOTBALL COACH: Three years after he guided Army to a school-record 10 wins and was touted for national coach of the year, Bob Sutton lost the only job he ever wanted. He was fired Monday, two days after a 19-9 loss to Navy.

The loss was only Sutton's third in nine years to the Middies, but it left the Cadets at 3-8. "He's been a class act and has had tremendous compassion for the goals of the academy," Athletic director Rick Greenspan said. "But the last three years have obviously been difficult because of our won-lost record (10-23)." Boxing EE Standings AMERICAN CONFERENCE East Pet.

His death Sunday at 3 1 from injuries in a Nov. 20 bout underscored the price Johnson paid for ignoring those and other warnings about his health. Johnson had hoped to make enough money in the ring to move his mother from the projects in Queens, N.Y.

Still, he managed to get fights in Georgia and South Carolina before his Nov.

Basketball ISU transfer will not practice Transfer Sara Stribe will not practice with the Iowa State basketball team this winter and will decide next summer exactly what sports she'll pursue at the university. Stribe transferred to Iowa State after playing basketball at Drake as a freshman. Because she had to sit out during the basketball season under NCAA transfer rules, she joined coach Linda Grensing's volleyball team and became the starting setter. "Since I am unable to be part of the Cyclone basketball team this season, I have decided to focus on being a student for the remainder of the year." Stribe said in a statement released by the university on Monday.

"I will make a decision on playing two sports before the start of the fall semester." Stribe's season at Drake was limited by a broken wrist suffered at Iowa State on Dec. 12. She averaged 4.3 points and five rebounds. Standings EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Division Pts GF GA Philadelphia 16 8 4 37 84 63 New Jersey 13 9 3 31 70 62 N.Y.
