The Wildcats had 164 total yards, only 52 in the second half. The Wildcats' biggest series of the night was a six-play drive in the first quarter that produced the game's lone touchdown.

Washington drove from its 33, with the big play a 4 1-yard run by quarterback Ben Howze to the Mosley 2. Two plays later, Tolbert scored on a dive up the middle. The game then settled into a punting duel between Golovka and Mosley's Chip Chester. Chester punted eight times for a 40-yard average; Golovka punted eight times for a 37-yard average and had one blocked. The Wildcats' field goal came with 2:11 to play after a desperation fake punt by the Dolphins failed to pick up a first down deep in their own territory.

Washington took over on its own 22, but the drive stalled at Mosley's 16. Golovka, who had missed a 31-yard field goal attempt earlier in the quarter, booted it through.

The win gives the Wildcats the District 1, Class AAAAA championship. Washinton plays at Gainesville Buchholz next Friday in the first round of the state playoffs. Both teams played strong defense, as evidenced by the 16 punts in the game. But first-year coach Jimmy Nichols' Wildcats got a 1-yard touchdown run from Chris Tolbert in the first quarter and a 31-yard field goal from Greg Golovka in the fourth, and that was all they needed. Mosley had only 96 yards total offense and just seven first downs as Washington simply wouldn't let the Dolphins get anything going.

Mosley's longest drive was seven plays. "Defense wins championships, I guarantee it," said a jubilant, hoarse Nichols after the game. "All the credit goes to the defense.

Fraud, tax charges await ex-Memphis State coach Seminole basketball on rebound Louisville No. 1 in Metro 6C By Junior Ingrain News Journal TALLAHASSEE It didn't take Pat Kennedy long to encounter his first problem as Florida State's new basketball coach. "When classes started in August, we had one kid who called in and said he would be two days late getting here," Kennedy said.

"He spoke to one of my coaches who told him, 'I haven't spoken to Coach Kennedy, but I don't have to investigating allegations of sports gambling in the Mid-South. He testified before the panel last year and acknowledged that his personal finances were under review. U.S. Attorney Hickman Ewing Jr. said the charges against Kirk were not related to gambling.

Ewing also said rumors of point-shaving on Memphis State basketball games were unfounded. "Based on what we have determined, there is no evidence of any point-shaving or any game-fixing at Memphis State University," Ewing said. Kirk is charged in the indictment with soliciting a $2,000 payoff to have Memphis State participate in a basketball tournament at New Orleans in 1982 and a $10,000 payoff to send the Tigers to a tournament at Los Angeles in 1983. The tax charges accuse Kirk of underreporting his taxable income. In '82, he reported an income of $122,620 when his actual income was $171,707, and in '83, he reported an income of $164,482 when he actually made $281,338, the indictment MEMPHIS, Tenn.

Kirk surrendered to federal authorities shortly after the indictment was issued and was released on his own recognizance pending an appearance next Wednesday before U.S.

Magistrate Aaron Brown. Kirk refused comment on the charges. Kirk was fired from his Memphis State job in September after seven seasons. Memphis State President Thomas Carpenter has refused to outline his reasons for firing Kirk.

Jacksonville Jets sign Bulls' veteran Dailey JACKSONVILLE (AP) Quintin Dailey, a talented but troubled four-year veteran of the NBA Chicago Bulls, has signed a contract with the Jacksonville Jets of the Continental Basketball Association, the Jets announced Thursday. Dailey, 25, entered a drug rehabilitation program twice during the 1985-86 season. He missed 13 games at the beginning of the season after spending 31 days at the Community Hospital at Pasadena, Calif. Dailey entered the hospital again in February, and was suspended by the team. "We're very pleased to have him.

He wanted to get back to the workplace, just as I did," said Coach Tom Nis-salke, a former NBA coach who joined the Jets when the franchise moved from Pensacola to Jacksonville this year. Frey rejects Twins' offer; accepts WGN radio job MINNEAPOLIS AP) Rating financial security more important than managing in the major leagues, former Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Royals manager Jim Frey rejected the Minnesota Twins' offer to be their manager. After turning the Twins down Wednesday, Frey, 55, accepted an undisclosed offer Thursday from Chicago's WGN radio to be a color analyst for Cubs games.

Kookaburra H's victory overturned after hearing FREMANTLE, Australia AP) Kookaburra H's victory over Australia III in the final race of the second round of the America's Cup defender series was overturned today by an international jury after a six-hour, 30-minute hearing. The protest against Kookaburra II, which now falls from second to third place, had been lodged by Gordon Lucas, skipper of Australia III.

A protest by Peter Gilmour, the skipper of Kookaburra II, against Australia III was dismissed by the jury. The upholding of Australia Ill's protest means that boat was awarded the victory in Wednesday's race, but remains in fourth place in the defender standings with 12 points. Tornados seek game-ready status First day of preseason training camp proves players to be a bit rusty bench is the greatest Kennedy motivator. I think we've got some who want to play." Kennedy came to FSU from Iona in March to replace Joe Williams, who resigned under pressure after back-to-back losing seasons. He inherited a poorly conditioned team hampered further by major academic and discipline deficiencies.

"We had so much work to do when we got here," he said. "First, we had to get the kids we have academically eligible. Second, we went on tour with Coach (Bobby) Bowden and met with the boosters around the state. "We spoke at every engagement we possibly could, and we had to get involved with high school All-Americas, and not recruit second-level people. We may not get them, but we might.

You never know." That meant six months of non-stop activity before Kennedy could don his warmup suit and slip a whistle around his neck. See PAT, 7C that in your local gym." Game-ready is the key word for Youmans and the Tornados, because that's what they must be in just 15 days, when they open the 1986-87 Continental Basketball Association season Dec. 6 against the Jacksonville Jets at the Pensacola Civic Center. To get there, Youmans first must pick 10 players from the 21 hopefuls expected to in camp. Center Ray Tolbert came for Thursday's afternoon session, big man Cozell McQueen arrives this weekend, and former South Alabama star Ricky Brown probably will show today.

For the players dressed out on Day 1, the camp went pretty much as expected. "I know what kind of condition you have to be in for these tryouts," said 6-foot-6 forward Michael Clarke, an Arkan sas-Little Rock product. "It's pretty competitive. Rick Lamb, who played for the defending champion Tampa Bay Thrillers last year where Youmans served as an assistant knows the ropes of training camp. He has been through the ball-handling drills, the scrimmaging, the fast breaks.

"It's hard to figure right now," the 6-7 forward said. "These first three practices, everyone's out there wanting to make the team and trying to figure out what it takes to make the team, so you can't tell everyone's potential right now." Lamb, who played for the CBA's Wyoming franchise before heading to Tampa, knows what it takes to make a team like the Tornados. By John Donovan News Journal They came to Day 1 of the Pensacola Tornados' preseason training camp eager, willing and just a tad rusty. But for the 18 players who walked onto the floor at the University of West Florida's field house Thursday, it really didn't matter. Eagerness and willingness was what Coach Gary Youmans was looking for anyway.

"I'm impressed," said Youmans, himself a rookie as a head coach in professional basketball. "Overall, I was pleased. Some of the guys aren't in as good a shape as I'd like them and not in as good shape as they would like. But it's not really their fault.
