Bay City won't just be run Schoolboy Star Ineligible i oiiaiia ui isuaigni sets ana vitas uerulaitis beat Con-ado Barazzutti by default as the United States took a comrnanding 2-0 lead over Italy Friday night in the Davis Cup finals.

McEnroe beat Panatta 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 in a two-hour match after Barazzutti was forced to quit with a badly sprained ankle while trailing Gerulaitis 6-2, 3-2. Barazzutti's injury to his right ankle, suffered when he tried for a passing shot near the net, will force him out of Sunday's singles competition against McEnroe and likely keep him from playing tennis at all for at least three weeks. His place on Sunday will be taken by either Paolo Bertoluc-ci or Antonio Zugarelli. However, if America's double team of Stan Smith and Bob Lutz beat Panatta and Bertolucci on Saturday, the next day's matches will be meaningless and America will keep the cup it won last year against Great Britain in Palm Springs, Calif.

The 34-year-old veteran, plagued with injuries for the past nine years, has been in pain after each match in this tournament. After his three matches this week, Roche promptly has had ice packed around the ankle and been given a leg massage. But judging from the way he disposed Of masters, Roche still is capable of top tennis. "I've still got another three years of tournament play left in me on the grass circuit here," Roche The top women's seed, Britain's Sue Barker, easily defeated Pam Shriver 6-2, 6-3 in their quarterfinal match.

Barker has been in devastating form and has dropped only 12 games in her three matches, all won in straight sets.

On one shot, he spun 360 degrees and scooped the ball to the basket underhanded, missed, got the rebound and slammed dunk with two hands. Maryland Coach Lefty Drie- sell, in the stands, said: "He can play on my squad any day." Lots of other college coaches have similar feelings. However, Jones said in a recent interview: "I want to play pro ball. I would turn pro next year if the money was right.

I'd take a million to $1.5 million for maybe three years. But I'd want a contract that provided me the opportunity to go to 1 "In case 1 got hurt, I'd want to" be secure in the contract.

Jones also said that if a pro offer was not forthcoming and if he did go to college, he would stay only "one or two years" before declaring hardship.

I know education is "We have been throwing the ball but we kind of got out of the habit of throwing when our quarterback was hurt," says Poe. "We have the ability to throw, and we probably should throw more." "Bay City's Greg Williams suffered a cracked rib against He-bert and will not start at quarterback but will play in the se-conary.

"He may be jolted by this decision now but I hope in the long run the resolution I make will help undo some of the harm already done to is not a product to be marketed or exploited," said Bowers.
