The Tide stopped Miami from running the ball. And the Tide, 13-0 this season, won the turnover battle. Miami ended its season at 11-1.

Alabama rushed for 267 yards and allowed only 48 on the ground. Miami rolled up 278 yards passing, but Heisman Trophy winner Gino Torretta threw three interceptions. "I thought we had an outstanding performance by our players," Stallings said. "I liked our intensity all week long. I thought our coaches did an excellent job of preparing our team." Tide tailback Derrick Lassie was named the game's most valuable player.

He rushed for 135 yards on 28 carries and scored two touchdowns. A capacity crowd of 76,789 fans most of them wearing crimson and white watched it all. "It's our centennial year, we won 13 games," Stallings said. "I'm not smart enough to describe it all. "I think it means more for our kids and our coaches.

I'm satisfied, and I'm happy for them." Miami coach Dennis Erickson offered no excuses. "We just flat-out got beat," he said. "They ran the ball better against us than anyone had all year. I still feel we're one of the best teams in the country and will continue to be." Two second-half interceptions brought touchdowns for the Tide, which coasted the rest of the way, except for a punt return for a touchdown by Miami. Torretta threw interceptions on his first two passes of the second half.

From the depths of an 0-3 start in 1990, Gene Stallings has carried Alabama football back to the mountaintop. The Crimson Tide won its first national championship since the 1979 season, whipping Miami 34-13 in the 59th annual Sugar Bowl Classic here Friday night. The Tide culminated its centennial season of football with its 12th national championship and its 23rd straight win. Also, the Tide's win ended Miami's 29-game winning streak and the Hurricanes' bid for a second straight national title.

Stallings had to be proud. His team won the title with a performance that mirrored his old-style philosophy.

President Bush is being joined in Moscow on his foreign farewell tour by his wife, Barbara, and by former U.S. Secretary of State James A.

Baker III, who carried out many of the negotiations that led up to the landmark START II agreement. President Yeltsin will honor the Bushes at a state dinner at the Kremlin's Hall of Facets tonight. The centerpiece of their fourth summit will come Sunday, when the two leaders sign the treaty that slashes U.S. and Russian long-range nuclear arsenals by two-thirds over the next 10 years. In Somalia, where he visited U.S.

forces as part of Operation Restore Hope, President Bush told troops Friday that the treaty was "the most historic arms control agreement ever made." President Bush said it would eliminate Russia's 308 fearsome SS-18 missiles, each of which carries 10 warheads. "On our watch, that fear will be reduced," he said. U.S. and Russian negotiators nailed down the agreement Tuesday in Geneva and the weekend summit was hastily arranged as part of President Bush's 25th foreign trip, which will take him from the blazing sun and starvation in the Horn of Africa to the bitter cold and staggering economic problems of Russia. He had sought the pact as the finishing stroke of his administration's arms control achievements, which include the START treaty that cut stockpiles by one-third.

CHARLES, 111. David and Sharon Schoo lived in a comfortable, Tudor-style suburban home with a pool, swings and a child's playhouse in the back yard. However, daughters Nicole, 9, and Diana, 4, were rarely seen outside the home and were often believed to live elsewhere, neighbors say.

"We were always saying 'Where's the said Toni Potts, who lives next door to the Schoos and shares a large pond with them. "They would be driving oft to go somewhere, and we never saw the kids," she said. The Schoos were arrested Monday for leaving their children home alone while they vacationed for nine days in Aca-pulco, Mexico. On Thursday, Joseph Kuzma put up $10,000 to bail his daughter and son-in-law out of jail. He hadn't seen or spoken to Mrs.

Schoo in eight years. The couple face felony charges of child abandonment and cruelty to children and misdemeanor charges of child endangerment. A preliminary hearing is set for Tuesday. Neighbors say the Schoos seemed withdrawn almost reclusive in the close-knit 12-home community in an unincorporated area outside St. Charles, where the doors are unlocked during the day and folks socialize regularly.

They say Mr. Schoo, a 45-year-old engineer with a smoke-alarm company, waited until well after dark before cutting the grass and that Mrs. Schoo, 35, rarely spoke to neighbors. "I had my baby and was taking it over to see my best friend when I saw Mrs. Schoo out front," Ms.

Potts said Thursday. "I turned the baby carriage around to show her the baby, since we had spoken once or twice when I was pregnant.

Before returning to the USS Tripoli for a second night at sea off the coast, the president spoke to about 3,000 troops on the tarmac of Mogadishu's international airport, now a sprawling allied military complex.
