Winnipeg will meet Edmonton for the Western Division championship and Ottawa will play Toronto for the Eastern title, next week.

The winners will meet in the Grey Cup Nov, 28 in Toronto. 1 Jimmy Connors broke Bjorn Borg's service in the final game for a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 victory in a $100,000 challenge tennis match in Seattle. Connors earned $75,000 for the exhibition victory and Borg got $25 000. Scott Hoch of the United States shot a three-under-par 69 for a 278 total and three-shot victory in the $300,000 Taiheiyo Club Masters golf tournament at Gotemba, Japan. Masahiro Kuramoto (71) was second at 281.

find 32 deserving teams. It started out as a reward. It was something you had to battle to get. But it's certainly not that now. I hope they don't allow any more bowls.

It's already ridiculous. This isn't to down the Aloha Bowl, it's just the numbers." If the NCAA approves more games on New Year's Day, Brock said, "we'll have a game every hour on the hour. I'm totally opposed (to the number of bowls) and will continue to fight it." Added Holmes: "I think there are way too many (bowls) now. How many do I think we should have? Four. Actually, I'm being flippant.

It -would appear, year in and year out, maybe 10 is a good number. You go beyond that and you start running into a strange situation as far as records are concerned." In competition for the best teams available, bowls sell themselves on the money they pay (based on the size of their television contract and size of their stadium), prestige, location and hospitality. The Sun Bowl has overcome its relatively small, financial guarantee (13th among the 16 bowls last bowl season) with a good reputation for hospitality. "We like to be known as the Rose Bowl of hospitality," Starr said. The Orange Bowl is extravagant in its welcome, scheduling boat trips, fashion shows and trips to the dog races.

United International EAST LANSING Michigan State football coach Muddy Waters was fired yesterday a day after MSU won its second game of the season. MSU athletic director Doug Weaver said Waters, who has been the Spartans' coach since 1980, has been offered an un-. specified job in the athletic department for the final twe years of his contract. His coaching job paid $50,700 a Waters, 59, was unavailable for comment He has 10-22 record during his three seasons at MSU. The athletic director said a search for a new coach will begin immediately.

The announcement came a day after Michigan State beat Minnesota, 27-6. MSU, 2-8 overall and 2-6 in the Big Ten, has one game left against Iowa Saturday. Weaver said Waters will coach that game. "Frank Waters has given so much to Michigan State University and the football program," Weaver said. "He has conducted himself with dignity and we are grateful for his efforts and those of his coaches and players.

The program has not made the progress we had hoped for, however, and I believe we must have a change in order to improve." Soviets beat Hoosiers BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -Arvidas Sabonls and Sergey Jovajsha teamed for 47 points to lead the Soviet National basketball team to an 87-77 exhibition victory over Indiana yesterday. The game was the sixth in the United States for the Soviets, who are 5-1. They lost to Wichita State, 81-80, Thursday, but have defeated Pep-perdine, Fresno State, Oregon, Washington State and Indiana. And what's more Winnipeg defeated Calgary, 24-3, and Ottawa upset Hamilton, 30-20, in Cana End quote were a bowl, I wouldn't invite us." Alabama football coach Bear Bryant, whose team is 7-3 and has lost two consecutive games for the first time since 1972.

money to operate. For some bowls, the number of people a team can bring is a very important consideration. Several bowls depend on selling a large number of visitor tickets to fill stadiums or apease community Holmes said the Sugar Bowl was born "in the heart of the depression. The whole idea then was to bring as many people to New Orleans for as long as possible." The Sun, Fiesta and Holiday bowls had similar roots. Starr said the Sun Bowl "means at least $7 million to the city of El Paso," and Reid said the Holiday Bowl draws 40 percent of its crowd from outside San Diego County.

Under NCAA rules, a 'bowl cannot demand that a team sell a certain number of tickets, but schools have been to known to try and "buy" their way some bowls. In these cases, a team seeking the kind of recognition that a bowl game can bring offers to buy 10,000 tickets or more, even if it knows it cannot sell all of them to its followers. The school will then "eat" the leftovers if it has to. What the bowls offer in return is a good payday million per team depending upon the bowl) for the schools and conferences involved, television exposure and a good time. Under NCAA guidelines adopted this year, bowls must pay a minimum guarantee per team of $300,000 or 37 V6 percent of the gross, whichever is greater.

Out of that, the schools pay their airfare and lodging costs. Bowls that don't meet the limit face revocation of their ap- proval to operate. Bowls were intended to be a reward for a good season, but some officials believe that the number of bowls has cheapened the concept. "We've got too many bowls now," said Brock of the Cotton Bowl. "It's hard to 'What do you think of A or team After you've been in it a little while, you get of an intuition." For example, it is a good bet Nebraska will end up in Orange Bowl, where it has spent three of the last four New The Sugar Bowl, which iwill feature Georgia for the 'third consecutive season, prob-'ably will get Pittsburgh in a re Imatch of the bowl's 1982 game.

Some bowls, such as the Rose are obligated to take the of the conferences which they have ties 10 and Big 10). Others, as the Cotton Bowl, take a 'champion from one conference '(Southwest) and an at-large team. What the rest, the so-called Topen-ended" bowls, look for is 'Jisually a team with a high jranking, a good record and, if possible, an attraction like Walker or John jElway. Starr said the Sun Bowl jgoes after "the best two teams available," using record and Ranking as the main criteria. 1 After that, he said, he examines the television appeal and ian following of teams.

A spokesman for the Orange said it is very much guided by rankings. "We go for the fiighest-ranking teams we can To this end, the four traditional bowls (Rose, Orange, Cot-jton and Sugar) seek the prestige of having a national championship risked or won in their James.

Such teams 'As Oklahoma, Alabama and UCLA can have three or four "losses and receive invitations, -while others, such as Hawaii (9- 2 last season) or New Mexico J9-1 this season), may be left jvith nothing.

think of anything else we could' have been watching that would have evoked the same response. When it was over, I felt both exhilaration and shame shame that I had been so thrilled by such violence, that the veneer of civilization was so thin. Paradoxically, had the people in that room seen two men on the street beating each other so fiercely, we would have been horrified and called the police. But placed in a safe (for us), ritualistic setting, It be-, came stunning entertainment Ban boxing? Why? Boxing is just a symptom, not the cause. And it has its positive aspects.

It gives fighters an escape from the mean streets where would an Aaron Pryor be without and it gives us an outlet. "My psychologist friends tell me it's safer to let our ag-' gressions out through spectator sports than on each other," Pacheco said. from page D-1 server of human behavior. "We talk, we laugh, we reason, and we blush, but we are still part of the animal kingdom, and we can't deny the aggressiveness Mother Nature instilled in us." Boxing, the oldest and most naked display of human aggression, brings out the beast as no other sport. The more brutal the action, the more beastly the reaction.

Put headgear on the fighters, as some have suggested, and no one would watch. I saw the Pryor-Arguello fight" on TV in a home full of tax-paying, child-raising, middle-class couples like my wife and myself. Not a violent bone in the bunch, at least not on the surface. But when Pryor launched his fearsome final flurry, blood lust engulfed us all, and the room was filled with excited screams. I can't Please present coupon when repair 0 0 order is written.
