Three Swiss skiers Maria Wal-liser, Vreni Schneider and Beatrice Gafner suffered knee injuries when they crashed Friday, and all are out for the season. It was Oertli's first downhill triumph in seven seasons of World Cup racing.

Mark Martin inherited the lead when Harry Gant ran out of gas six laps from the end, and raced off to an easy victory Saturday in a 200-mile Grand National stock car race. Martin, from Batesville, was the beneficiary of a lot of racing luck in the 197-lap race at North Carolina Motor Speedway. Pole-winner Dale Earnhardt dominated the early part of the race, then battled side-by-side with Morgan Shepherd at the front of the 39-car field before both cars ran into problems. Earnhardt finally fended off Shepherd and had his Chevrolet solidly in front when he suddenly slowed on lap 148 and drove to the Sockadillos sock The Austin Sockadillos opened the Southwest Indoor Soccer League playoffs with a 9-3 victory over the Albuquerque Gunners Saturday at Tatu's Indoor Soccer Place.
