Olympic teams. Marquette University announced it will add women's soccer as a varsity sport for the 1993-94 school year. Steve Adlard, the Warriors' men's coach, will coordinate the women's program until a coach has been selected. aaj Thompson retires after muscle pull In a last-ditch effort to qualify for his fifth Olympic Games in the decathlon, Britain's Daley Thompson, 33, pulled a leg muscle in the first event the 100 meters at a special meet Thursday in London. The decathlon world-record holder and two-time Olympic gold-medal winner pulled up in pain 5 seconds into the race.

He then confirmed he was retiring from international competition. A series of injuries have plagued him the past five years. He hasn't finished a decathlon since the 1988 Seoul Games. Natalya Artyomova of the Commonwealth of Independent States, one of the world's top middle-distance runners, reportedly tried to manipulate drug samples at the Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway, last weekend. Lars-Martin Kaupang, who worked as the special observer for the International Amateur Athletic Federation during the meet, confirmed the report.

Artyomova, 29, who finished second, in Saturday's race, could be suspended by the IAAF. Also, Norwegian shot putter Lars Nilsen, a bronze medalist at the 1991 World Championships, faces a lifetime ban after testing positive for drugs a second time at a May 9 meet. Nilsen has been temporarily suspended and will not compete in Barcelona. Franke top scorer for Junior Selects University of Wisconsin forward Barb Franke led the United States Junior National Select women's basketball team in scoring with 16.4 points per game in its five-game series in Toronto. The Junior Select team went 4-1 in games with the Canadian Junior National Team and the Big Eight Conference all-star team.

Franke, the Big Ten Conference freshman of the year last season, was the top scorer in three games, including a 24-point outburst in a 77-68 victory over the Big Eight team June 26. City Junior Tennis meet starts today The 1992 Madison Junior Tennis Tournament begins today at Quann Park behind the Dane By Andy Baggot Sports reporter MILWAUKEE Calling the latest roster move by the Milwaukee Brewers "the final straw," first baseman Franklin Stubbs Thursday once again asked the club to trade him. "They don't have to do it because I still have another year, here, but you would think it would be in their best interest to get it done," Stubbs said. He was reacting not only to the promotion of right-handed-hitting first baseman John Jaha from Class AAA Denver, but to the decision by Manager Phil Garner that Jaha and Stubbs, a left-handed hitter, would be platooned. Garner said, however, it would not be a platoon based on traditional factors namely pitching matchups which explains why Jaha made his major-league debut Thursday against Kansas City right-hander Mike Boddicker.

After explaining his thinking to Stubbs prior to batting practice, Garner said the veteran was upset. "I think he's frustrated and rightfully so," Garner said. "He knows I have a legitimate gripe so there's really nothing he could say to make me feel any better," Stubbs said. After a miserable performance a year ago (.213, 11 home runs, 38 runs batted in) and a woeful start to 1992 (he was hitting .190 as late as June 9), Stubbs has showed improvement of late. He hit .297 with 10 RBI on the just completed 13-game road trip and has hits in 10 of his last 11 games to bump his average to .221 with 33 RBI.

Stubbs thought Garner was coming to tell him he would be the everyday first baseman. "For what I was doing, I thought that was the direction I was headed," Stubbs said, "but obviously not, so I think they should go ahead and make the move and make them happy and make me happy. "I know I can do the job, but when you feel like you've earned the chance to get back in there and they don't give you that chance; what are you supposed to do? "I've had my feelings hurt before, but not this bad." Jaha, hitting .321 with 18 home runs and 69 RBI in 79 American Association games, was summoned when the decision was made to put rookie catcher Dave Nilsson (sprained left wrist) on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 6. "We want to see what he can do," Garner said of Jaha, whose power numbers are intriguing to a club which ranked 11th among 14 stops Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday before joining his U.S. teammates in Barcelona.

Between today and July 26, there will be 88 races in six classes of competition throughout the state, including events in Waterloo (July 21), Richland Center (July 22) and the Capitol Square in Madison (July 26). IOC: Yugoslavian athletes welcome Yugoslav athletes can enter the Olympics in Barcelona despite United Nations sanctions if they wear neutral white uniforms and call themselves the Independent Team, the International Olympic Committee said Thursday in Lausanne, Switzerland. Yugoslav Olympic officials were given until today to study the plan. The latest in a series of player strikes that threatened to keep Spain's men's basketball team out of the Olympics ended when the players union agreed to allow a third foreigner on each Spanish pro team next season. The Winter Olympics in Al-bertville in February lost $57 million, but the French government will cover three-quarters of it, organizing committee co-presidents Jean-Claude Killy and Michel Barnier said in Paris.

The Greater Madison Tennis Association will again host the annual double-elimination event. Play begins today at 5:30 p.m., continues Saturday and ends with the finals Sunday morning. Entrants will compete in six singles and three doubles divisions. Girls will compete in 14-and-under and 16-and-under singles divisions.

Boys will compete in 12-, 14-, 16- and 18-and-under singles divisions. There will also be a combined 14-and-under doubles event, plus boys doubles in 16- and 18-and-under divisions. In the event of rain, the matches will be played at the John Powless Tennis Center. Korda eliminated from Swiss Open Fabrice Santoro of France upset top-seeded Petr Korda of Czechoslovakia, 1-6, 7-5, 6-2, Thursday in the second round of the Swiss Open tennis tournament in Gstaad, Switzerland. Other winners included defending champion Emilio Sanchez of Spain, seeded fifth, second-seeded Michael Chang and third-seeded Goran Ivanisevic of Crotia.

Mionske to ride in Superweek series Madison's Bob Mionske, a member of the 1988 and 1992 U.S. Olympic cycling teams, will compete in the first week of the Miller Lite Superweek International Cycling Series, which begins today in Milwaukee. Mionske, who rides for Team Saturn, plans to participate in Franklin Stubbs American League teams in home runs (49) after 82 games. Stubbs, meanwhile, believes it is time both parties got a fresh start. He said he would speak with his agent, Jim Turner, today and then approach Sal Bando, the Brewers vice president for baseball operations, about what can be done.

When Stubbs made similar noises early last month, Bando scoffed at the prospects of trading someone like Stubbs, who still has a year left on a contract that pays him $2,166 million in 1992. At the same time, the Brewers have demonstrated a reluctance to release a player and eat a multi-year contract. Confronted with those notions, Stubbs said he believes there must be someone out there who would want him. "Even if it's just one team," he said. Higuera update: Brewers Pitching Coach Don Rowe is quoted in Baseball America as saying that oft-injured left-hander Teddy Higuera has finally accepted the fact he will not be able to pitch in the majors until he gets his velocity up to 85 mph.

"That might never happen again," Rowe said. "We don't know." In the meantime, Higuera will continue his comeback attempt from rotator cuff surgery with his second start at Class A Beloit tonight at 7. Bando said he would like to see the pitcher make at least four more starts there before he is re-evaluated. Headed for the Hall: Brewers center fielder Robin Yount went 0-for-3 against Kansas City Thursday and needs 41 more to reach 3,000. The U.S.

Olympic baseball team lost to Korea, 4-2, at Boston Thursday. Ron Williams surged from fifth to first by going 6-2 in match play Thursday and leads Amleto Monacelli by 12 pins after four rounds of the Professional Bowlers Association Wichita (Kan.) Opea Mike Samardzija rallied with strikes in the eighth and ninth frames to upend top-seeded John Handegard, 193-188, in the title match of the Professional Bowlers Association Escondido (Calif.) Senior Open. Agent Anthony Quinn Welch pleaded guilty in Dallas to filing false tax information for four National Football League players and pocketing the returns. A news release from the U.S. Attorney's office said the athletes gave Welch accurate information from 1989 to '91, but the agent gave it inaccurately to the Internal Revenue Service.

The players involved are Bruce Alexander, Ray Crockett and Jason Phillips of the Detroit Lions and Wayne Walker, formerly of the San Diego Chargers. Cyclist Bart Bell, hospitalized since he suffered a head injury during the U.S. Olympic trials almost two weeks ago, was upgraded to fair condition at a Fridley, hospital. Donovan "Razor" Ruddock won't fight Lennox Lewis Oct. 31 in London unless the winner is the next challenger to heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, according to Ruddock's brother, Defray, who is also his manager.

Compiled from State Journal wire services and staff reports. U.S. women's team set Stockton, Kiefer share Senior lead PRO GOLF J.A Orlando Sentinel ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. Wendy Bruce had good vibes all day long Thursday. But superstition kept her from packing her bags for Barcelona and the 1992 Olympic Games.

Just before midnight, Bruce got the word she was a part of what Steve Nunno called "without a doubt the strongest team ever assembled in American gymnastics." Nunno, who coaches Olympic Trials champion Shannon Miller, and along with Marta Karoly was named assistant Olympic coaches Thursday night. Marta's husband, Bela, was named the head coach, an honor going to the coach with the most athletes on the squad world champion Kim Zmeskal, Kerri Strug and Betty Okino. "Every girl has won international gold medals," Nunno said. "I think we've got our own little dream team with an unbelievable amount of international experience." The meeting followed two days of training and evaluation, and ostensibly was done to cut the Olympic squad from eight to seven. The unlucky athlete was Kim Kelly, 18, Olympic gymnastics of King of Prussia, Pa.

Bruce, 19, who moved here six years ago, joins Zmeskal, 16, of Houston; Miller, 15, of Edmund, Michelle Campi, 15, of Sacramento, Dominique Dawes, 15, Silver Spring, Okino, 17, of Elmhurst, and Strug, 15, of Tucson, Ariz. "I wish we could take 15 (athletes)," said Kathy Kelly, United States Gymnastics Federation national women's program administrator. "Basketball competes five, and they take 15. We compete six and take seven. The eight athletes went through an unprecedented two-day training session and evaluation.

Seven carried over their scores from the Olympic Trials June 10-13 in Baltimore, and Okino petitioned to win a spot after missing both the U.S. Championships and the Trials with injuries. The team has a training camp in Nimes, France, then a decision on which six will compete in Barcelona will be determined. Associated Press Dave Stockton, who spent almost 2 hours with a psychologist Wednesday night to aid his mental approach, and Jack Kiefer, a virtually unknown club pro, shot 4-under par 67s Thursday and shared the first-round lead of the U.S. Senior Open Golf Championship in Bethlehem, Pa.

Stockton had five birdies during his round over the par-71 Saucon Valley Country Club course, missing an opportunity to lead alone when he took a bogey on the 18th hole. Kiefer had four birdies without a bogey. Stockton said he had been frustrated with a recent tendency to spray shots all over the course, and talked with psychologist Debra Graham to ease some mental tension. "I play a mental game and 90 percent of this game is mental," Stockton said. "I told her about my frustration and explained that it was hard to maintain my composure.

"She told me to concentrate on the mental and don't worry about where the ball goes and that's what I did." Stockton, 50, a Senior Tour rookie, hit a 9-i-ron approach to within inches of the cup on the first hole and tapped in for birdie. He rolled in birdie putts of 14 and 17 feet on Nos. 3 and 9 to make the turn in 3-under 33. On the back nine, he holed putts of 25 and 14 feet to go 5 under. But he found a bunker with his third shot at 18, left it 18 feet short getting out of the sand, and two-putted for bogey.

Stockton played 27 years on the Professional Golfers' Association tour, winning 11 tournaments notably the 1970 and 1976 PGAs. He won his first Senior title last month. Kiefer, 52, is commuting 61 miles to the tournament from his golf range at Newton, N.J. He holed putts of 12, 8 and 20 feet on the front nine for a 3-under 33, and made a 12-footer at the 15th. Defending champion Jack Nicklaus fired a 70.

Hatalsky leads Anheuser-Busch Classic: Morris Hatalsky, long known as one of the best putters on the PGA Tour, outdid himself in the opening round of the Anheuser-Busch Classic in Williamsburg, Va. "That's as good as I've done," Hatalsky said after he one-putted the first 12 holes on the way to a 6-under-par 65 and a 1-shot lead. Hatalsky finished with 16 one-putts and a pair of two-putts. His total of 20 was two off the tour's one-round record, shared by four golfers, including Madison's Andy North. Opening with 66s were Frank Conner and Ed Humenik.

Conner earned his 1992 PGA Tour card by finishing fifth on last year's Hogan Tour money list.

I 1 WASQUEHAL, France (AP) Guido Bontempi of Italy won the fifth stage of the Tour de France cycling race Thursday with one of the fastest average speeds in the race's history, and Pascal Lino of France held onto the overall lead. On a day where sprinters prevailed, Bontempi covered the 122-mile stretch from Nogent-sur-Oise to Wasquehal in 4 hours, 6 minutes, 1 second, a speedy 29.9 miles per hour over mostly flat roads. Dmitri Konyshev of Russia, who won two stages in the race last year, was second Thursday, 30 seconds behind, and Olaf Ludwig of Germany was third, 36 seconds back.

Bontempi, 32, broke away from that group with about 3 miles to go. "I almost didn't make that last breakaway," Bontempi said. "Toward the end, the first one to attack has the chance to win, and that's what I did." Over mostly flat surfaces, the stage was an ideal one for resting after the overnight jump from Li-bourne, where a team time trial was held.
