Saturday, July 27, 1991, Murfreesboro, Tenn. THE DAILY NEWS JOURNAL 11 Mishap- Don King, Tyson's promoter, were unsuccessful. Tyson stopped Trevor Berbick in the second round on Nov. 22, 1986, to become, at age 20, the youngest ever to hold a piece of the heavyweight title. He eventually untied the title, but lost it to James "Buster" Douglas on a lOth-round knockout at Toyko on Feb.

11, 1990. The current champion, Evander Holyfield, is scheduled to fight Tyson on Nov. 8 at Las Vegas. SOGGLT? "I tried to stay involved in the camp today, but I saw all of the championship flags up there," he said. "And, to me, Chris Whitehead's name will always be on those flags.

He left his mark at MTSU. "He was a young man, and you can't understand why some things happen like that. But he had good faith in God, and his family will be able to handle his death. He was only 24 years old, but the 24 years he lived, he lived a good life and touched a lot of people. He took his life and did what he did with it.

But, we are really going to miss him." Mclnally (Continued from page nine) whether a young athlete should compete in contact sports such as football or hockey. But wouldn't it be nice if parents could receive information and help in determining the dangers of other sports like basketball, gymnastics, soccer or distance running and such crucial issues as steroids, conditioning, weight-training and throwing curveballs? One of the recurring themes which has dominated the letters I've received through the years has been the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. We all -want to minimize injuries and step one in this process is a quality sports physical. As parents, it is worth the extra money and effort to find a physician sensitive and knowledgeable in sports medicine for any of your children involved in athletics. For our medical system, providing the training and resources necessary to bring our doctors up to speed in sports-related issues should be a priority.

McEnroe-- (Continued from page nine) According to Tennis Canada of manager, said, "This is about where we thought we'd be (Thursday). It took us an extra day to do it. We picked up about a second. "We changed motors, we changed every possible part on the car. I don't really know what made us better, but maybe a little bit of everything.

But it's better than going the other way. We've been going since 6 a.m. and finally got a little bit of progress. The hard work pays off, I guess." Morgan Shepherd, who was among 13 drivers who stood on their Thursday laps, slipped one position to 22nd, followed by Stanley Smith, who jumped from 186.177 to 187.090 to move up six positions. Eerie (Continued from page nine) So instead of just the normal yawns approaching the first exhibition, the talk of California for two weeks has been Craig and Lott.

"Man, I don't want to talk about that any more. That's all anyone wants to talk about," Lott said last week, then went on for 10 minufes discussing some of his hard feelings about, the 49ers. Craig, who took "his old college number "22'1 instead of the "33" he. wore with San Francisco, has shown the ability to turn the corner he lacked last year, when he sustained knee and hip injuries. With Jackson still questionable because of a hip injury, he may play a big role in the running attack.

No one was under par at the (Continued from page nine) bringing MTSU back to championship form, but for many fans of the Blue Raiders that still attend games today. "He was instrumental in Coach Stanford's quest to turn the program back into a championship program," Peterson said. "Chris was a very talented player, and he was one of the most well-liked players on the team, as well as on the campus. "I really think he had a lot to do with bringing fans in who come to the park today.

A lot of the people who came to the park this season, 'and will come next season Chris Whitehead made them fans." After spending three seasons in the Red Sox system, Whitehead decided to call it quits after playing in Class A ball last year. He had gotten a job in his hometown, and he and his wife were expecting their second child. "He called me over, the winter, and you could tell at thaj; point he wasn't going to give up on his big league dreams," Peterson said. "He had to find a more profitable job to support a family, so he went back to Maryville. He was handling giving up baseball and being a family man." Peterson, who is currently involved in his annual baseball camp, had a hard time keeping his mind on the camp Friday.

Main THURSDAY, Loonoy- (Continued from page nine) that led to three runs when center fielder Alex Cole missed the ball after apparently being distracted by left fielder Albert Belle. The runs were the difference in the Athletics' 10-7 victory.

"It was a lack of communication," Cole said. "We were both going for it. I don't know. The ball just fell." It always does when it's not caught. Braggs trouble came with two outs in the bottom of the 13th inning and allowed the Chicago Cubs to beat the Reds 5-4.

Andre Dawson hit a fly ball that Braggs dropped. "I thought I could catch it one-handed, but I overran it," Braggs said. "It hit my glove and fell out. I saw it all the way." On Tuesday night, Braggs' teammate, reliever Rob Dibble, was charged with an error and hitting Chicago's Doug Dascenzo with the ball after fielding Dascenzo's squeeze bunt. Dibble said the ball slipped out of his hand.

Umpire Joe West ejected Dibble. Should National League president Bill White rule that Dibble hit Dascenzo on purpose, at least Dibble will be credited for being one fielder who hit what he was aiming at. Spoiler (Continued from page nine) 192.085 mph well under the 195.186 that gave Ernie Irvan the pole in May for the Winston 500, the first race run with the 7-8ths restrictor plate. The stability part is yet to be proven, with NASCAR hopeful it can keep such incidents as the 20-car crash here in May from happening again. "Going out there and running one lap by yourself is one thing," said Ken Schrader, a two-time winner this season.

"Going out there and drafting is all together a different program." Ricky Rudd, Schrader's teammate, said the spoiler rule is working as intended. "You can definitely tell the spoiler is on back there because it (the car) doesn't go down the straight," he said. "But the side rails are things I don't care about testing. Maybe we'll let someone else test those." Bobby Hillin a long-term substitute for the injured Kyle Petty, made a big jump Friday to lead second-day qualifying for Sunday's DieHard 500 NASCAR stock car race. Hillin drove the SABCO Racing Pontiac to a fast lap of 188.426 mph on the 2.66-mile, high-banked Talladega Superspeedway oval, earning the 21st spot in the 41-car lineup.

The gain for Hillin, whose only Winston Cup victory came in this race in 1986, was impressive over Thursday's disappointing 184.569, which left him 38th after the opening round of time trials. "This ought to put us pretty decent for the race," Hillin said. "It's a lot better race car than a qualifier."

He uttered an obscenity, which prompted Ings to award a one-point penalty that gave Rostagno a 6-5 lead in the tiebreaker.

Because McEnroe's obscenity was audible on television, it resulted in a $900 fine. McEnroe's next naughty word, while out of the range of the microphones, added $500 to his penalty Rostagno won the match on the next point, bringing hoots from the crowd for Ings as he left the court. McEnroe would have been fined an additional $1,000 if he had failed to report to the post-match news conference. Despite showing refused to elaborate on the incident. At one point, he stated that it was ridiculous for someone to lose a match that way.

"I don't want to talk about it," McEnroe said. But he would not criticize Ings, saying, "I have no comment because I might say something I'll regret." McEnroe was said to have left Montreal early Friday moring. The fine will not affect McEnroe's standing for the U.S. Open, which (Joes not recognize penalties levied by the ATP.

Earlier this month, McEnroe was slapped with a $10,000 fine at Wimbledon, the largest ever by the All-England Club, for verbal abuse a string of profanities launched at officials. In 1987, McEnroe was fined $17,500 for and suspended for two months for misconduct and verbal abuse at the Open. Tyson- (Continued from page nine) Expo. WTHR-TV of Indianapolis made the matter public on Friday, and reported that the woman was an 18-year-old pageant contestant from a northeastern state.

Tyson was in Indianapolis last Friday and Saturday to participate in the opening ceremonies of Indiana Black Expo, a week-long event related to black culture and heritage, officials said. The Rev. Charles Williams, president of Indiana Black Expo, said Tyson left Indianapolis last Saturday. Williams said he was interviewed by police regarding Tyson's movements during the event. Stoner said the woman was examined at Methodist Hospital at Indianapolis, but he declined to provide details of the exam.

Stoner refused to say if Tyson had been interviewed concerning the investigation by authorities.

But he was as confused and frustrated as anyone else. "I make one mistake and up jumps a double bogey," he said, but reserved his harshest criticism for the greens and pin placements. "They've got pins out there I don't think God could get it close to. No. 14 -is probably the hardest I've ever seen.
