The Daily News Wednesday, February 13, 1985 8e Sports Speaking of sports i Yarborough: Daytona preparation 'a struggle' S.C. driver favored to win third straight 500 right calf," Brown said. "It's not a very serious injury and she was planning on taking some time off anyway. She will get her rest and plans on running the same outdoor schedule as she had." Basketball Businessman devises offer for Bucks A suburban Brookfield businessman, who has already made one offer to buy the Milwaukee Bucks, says he will also jiut together a second offer for the National Basketball Association team. John Vishnevsky said the bid Monday by National Development and Investment which he heads, sets up -the framework for hundreds of investors to buy an interest in the team.

Vishnevsky said the second offer on which work was beginning Tuesday would be from ateam of major local investdrs. But he said he could nof reveal the prices either group was offering to buy the Bucks from a group headed by Jim Fitzgerald, who announced last week that the team was for sale and said he hoped it could remain in Milwaukee. Baseball Network to air Royals, Cards games Sports Time Cable Network unveiled plans Tuesday to broadcast a 1 12-game schedule of St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals baseball games in 1985. Sports Time, a year-old regional cable sports network, 1 will air 60 Cardinals games including 50 home contests and 52 Royals games, said Larry Albus, vice president and general manager.

From Our Wire Services Track Testimony begins in Moses trial Olympic gold medalist Edwin Moses offered an undercover policewoman dressed like an "ordinary citizen" $100 for two specific sex acts, the officer testified Tuesday at the track star's trial. Moses, 29, stands to lose millions of dollars in endorsement fees if convicted of the misdemeanor count of soliciting an act of prostitution. Officer Susan Gonzales testified under sometimes heated Cross examination by Moses" attorney that she was not made up like a prostitute while working a so-called "trick task force" last month, but was dressed like "an ordinary citizen." She also said she had a microphone attached to her purse, but the conversation was not recorded by other officers in a nearby house. Defense attorney Ed Medvene, in his opening statement earlier Tuesday, criticized police for not tapmgthe statement, saying that "tape-recording would have eliminated any possibility of error" in recalling the conversation. In his opening statement, prosecutpr Mike Guarino told the jury that police will testify the "defendant mentioned sex and money and he mentioned it first.

It was the largest amount of money mentioned that night" Slaney to be out three toysix weeks Middle distance runner Mary Decker Slaney will be sidelined for three to six weeks due to a muscle tear in her right calf, her coach says. Slaney is in Los Angeles with her husband, Richard Slaney, and will return home Thursday or Friday, coach Dick Brown said Monday night. "She tore some muscle fibers in the lower part of her Onited Press Intematiortal I DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. The i National Football League missed a potential record ground gainer when Cale Yarborough opted for auto rac- big instead of the gridiron. -I As a kid, Yarborough crawled under fences to watch the races, and later turned down a training camp in-; vitation from the Washington Red-; skins.

Today, the Timmonsville, S.C, driver is a heavy favorite to win a rec- ord third consecutive Daytona 500 mile race Sunday. Yarborough has come full cycle with his cars. The three-time Grand National champion began his full ca-; reej in the early 1960's with a Banjo Matthews' factory Ford and is back witi the manufacturer this year after winning the 1983 Daytona in a Pon- last year's classic in a Chevy. "It's getting toward sayf' Yarborough of Sunday's $1-2 million Daytona 500. "It's been" a struggle to be ready for Daytona this yeaf.

We had a 203 mile an hour i qualifying run, but we're not satis- fiedE Bill Elliott went the fastest ever "at 2)5. "We've had problems since arriv-. ing'in Florida. Waddell (Wilson) had difficulties when the team switched from General Motors to Ford cars, but he's doing something right with our engines to reach 203. We have nothing to be ashamed of.

"Everybody talks about how fast' the Fords are, especially Elliott's car. They deserve it. Bill and his brother Emie (crew chief) are two. of the hardest working people around. Bill is one of the outstanding chassis men in the business despite his youth and Ernie ha developed the Ford engine into a powerhouse." Yarborough, commenting on his drives in Fords for Matthews aiid the Wood Brothers teams, feelf the Thunderbird can be a winner Sunday and for most of the season because of his driving ability and Wilson's engine expertise.

The cagey Yarborough doesn't run a full season. Last year he won about a fifth of all the races he started three for 16, and earned $385,853. He missed a fourth checkered flag when an engine blew with 18 laps to go in the World 600 at Charlotte, a race he has never won. Daytona has been beneficial to the stocky driver. He's won 10 races in 68 outings at the Florida track.

Yarborough had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee during the winter to correct an injury sustained in a crash at Rockingham 16 months ago.
