SKELETON: Gregor Staehli of Switzerland won the gold at the world championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

WINTER SPORTS WILD CRASH AT FINISH LEAVES JACOBELLIS HOLDING SILVER -AGAIN ASPEN, Colo. Lindsey Jacobellis had the gold within her grasp. All she had to do was clear one jump and cross the finish line. But instead of grabbing gold, she ended up grabbing her head. Sound familiar? But this wasn't the Olympics; it only looked like it Jacobellis repeated her famous crash at the Turin Games last year, wiping out at the finish and allowing Joanie Anderson to win the snowboarder on Saturday at the Winter Games.

Jacobellis, a three-time snowboarder champ, had the red-faced moment of the Turin Games, costing herself gold with a move that led to a crash on the final jump. She then tumbled across the finish line after losing her balance. In other events, Norwegian Andreas Wiig ended Shaun White's four-year run as slopestyle champion, Tyler Walker won the inaugural mono skier title, Jamie Anderson took gold in women's slopestyle and Nate Holland took gold in men's snowboarder X.

UF swimming AND DIVING: Jonathan Wilcox set a school record in the 1-meter dive and the host Gators (8-5, 4-2 SEC) earned a 162-119 win over Florida Atlantic. Wilcox posted a score of 373.50, breaking the record of 369.22 older brother Zach Wilcox set in 2003.

FSO SWIMMING AND DIVING: The host Seminoles faced defending national champion Auburn, losing the men's event 133-108 and the women's event 129-112. UF WOMEN'S TENNIS: The Gators beat UCF 7-0 to improve to 2-0 and earn their 43rd consecutive regular-season home win.

Smith, who lost to Florida in the BCS title game, outplayed the Gators' Chris Leak.

It wasn't for national tat le, but Smith happy to get win ETCETERA BOXING: Zsolt Erdei defended his WBO light heavyweight title for the seventh time, stopping American Danny Santiago in the eighth round in Duesseldorf, Germany. The Hungarian, 26-0, dropped Santiago (29-3-1) about two minutes into the round. Another hard right staggered the American, and the referee stopped the bout. RUNNING: Olympic bronze medalist Tirunesh Dibaba broke her world record in the 5,000 meters at the Boston Indoor Games. Dibaba finished in 14 minutes, 27.42 seconds, 5Y seconds less than she needed to set the mark two years ago.

American Shawn Crawford won the 60 in 6.55 seconds. Bernard Lagat led from the start to win the 1,500 meters at the Norwich Union indoor meet in Glasgow, Scotland, for his first win as a U.S. athlete. Lagat, who won in 3 minutes, 45.55 seconds to beat former Kenyan teammate Laban Rotich by slightly more than a second, switched to U.S. citizenship after the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Times wires JaMarcus Russell, who was ineligible to play as a junior. Some have questioned whether Smith, at 6 feet 1, is big enough to make it in the NFL, but Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden said no one should question Smith's ability. "There's just a lot of creativity he brings to an offense, and it's fun to have honestly," said A'm Tf The South had to punt after Leak took a sack for an 8-yard loss. The North answered with a 38-yard field goal by Mason Crosby of Colorado, who capped a 30-yard drive that included Smith's 13-yard completion to Rutgers' Brian Leonard for a first down on fourth and 7. "We asked (Smith) to make a wide variety of throws, but the big play he made was the fourth-down conversion," Gruden said.

Leak, whose Florida Gators demolished Ohio State 41-14 to win the BCS Championship this month, was 5-of-9 for 23 yards. With things going badly, Leak was blindsided by Nebraska's Jay Moore and fumbled at his own 26. The turnover set up a North touchdown. Leak didn't talk to reporters after the game. Florida's Dallas Baker, Earl Everett and Ray McDonald, FSlTs Buster Davis and Lorenzo Booker and Miami's Brandon Meriweather were chosen to play as well.

Associated Press MOBILE, Ala. This time, Troy Smith was smiling after the game. The Ohio State star outplayed Florida's Chris Leak in a rematch of quarterbacks from the BCS title game, leading the North to three scores and a 27-0 win over the South in the Senior Bowl on Saturday. Smith's numbers weren't spectacular on a cold, rainy day. He was 5-of-15 for 52 yards with a 7-yard TD pass to Washington State's Jason Hill.

But the Heisman Trophy winner made fewer mistakes than Leak, who had a fumble that led to a quick touchdown for the North. "Just getting a win today meant a lot," said Smith, grinning widely. "I feel pretty good, but there's always room for improvement" Smith and Leak were fighting to improve their standing in a draft that will include Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, who didn't play because of an injury, and LSlPs Chris Leak For the record Gruden, who coached the North. "I've kind of forgotten how much fun that is." Starting during his last chance to impress scouts in a college game, Smith directed a nine-play, 75-yard opening drive that ended with a 7-yard touchdown run by Penn State's Tony Hunt, who ran for 38 yards on eight carries and was selected the game MVP.

"Those are two dynamic prospects in this year's draft." But there are others.

The Bucs have spent plenty of time looking at defensive linemen to improve their pass rush, which was among the worst in the NFL with just 25 sacks. One of the most impressive prospects is Louisville defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, 19, a 6-1, 317-pound senior. "It's really unbelievable. He went out there and was knocking people around. He didn't look like he was 19," Gruden said.

"I've just got a tremendous amount of respect for him and how he's been raised. He's obviously a very smart guy to accelerate his academics the way he has. He may be young, but he is not lacking any physical attributes at this point. "When you look at the tape, the guy's an explosive football player. He really has a chance to play.

You just worry about what he's going to do at night, 10 o'clock with no bed check. That's what I worry about with a 19-year-old kid. I worry about that more than anything else." And the Bucs are' fond of Nebraska defensive end Adam Carriker, who played for Gruden's North squad. At 6 feet 6, 292 pounds, Carriker has worked inside at under tackle, a position the Bucs are looking to fill after the trade of Anthony McFarland to the Colts for a second-round pick. BOUNCING BACK: The Bucs are hopeful left guard Dan Buenning can recover from a torn knee ligament on Thanksgiving Day at Dallas.

Buenning injured his ankle in the final preseason game and did not match the level of performance he demonstrated as a rookie. "We had a long talk," Gruden said. "He got hurt in the final preseason game, wasn't ready to go physically for the first few weeks and came back and wasn't the same guy he was in the '05 season. We need the 300-pound man with some thump in the hole. He's got some versatility as a puller.

He's a guy that we're counting on being a part of our future. He and (Davin) Joseph are going to be our guards, and I'll be upset if they're not." The Bucs are considering moving left tackle Anthony Davis to left guard, particularly if Thomas is their first overall pick. SAY WHAT? This is how desperate the Bucs are for defensive line help: They plan to work out former first-rounder Andre Wads-worth, who has not played since midway through the 2000 season. The former Florida State Seminole, now 32, had a series of knee injuries that forced his release from the Cardinals. Rick Stroud can be reached at stroudsptimes.com.

But unlike two years ago, when the Bucs got a preview of running back Cadillac Williams, their first overall pick may have been absent Saturday.

If the Bucs win the coin toss over the Browns for the No. 3 pick, they may have to choose between Georgia Tech receiver Calvin Johnson and Wisconsin left tackle Joe Thomas. Johnson, 6 feet 5, 235 pounds, is a junior but rated by draft guru Mel Kiper and others as the top overall talent in the draft. Thomas, 6-3, 313, chose not to participate in the Senior Bowl because he said he wasn't in good playing shape. And Gruden was disappointed Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn backed out because of a minor knee injury.

Henry's guilty plea and two-day sentence settled the last of his four Compiled from Times wires IRVING, Texas New Orleans defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs interviewed Saturday with the Dallas Cowboys.

Gibbs, a former Cowboys assistant, was the third outside candidate to visit Valley Ranch for an interview since Bill Parcells retired as coach Monday. 49ers offensive coordinator Norv Turner was scheduled to interview today. Turner was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 1991-93, when they won consecutive Super Bowls, and had a 58-82-1 record as head coach in Washington (1994-2000) and Oakland (2004-05). court cases. He has been arrested four times in the past 14 months.

The league is likely to suspend Henry for the start of next season.
