Star-Tribune, Casper, Wyo. D3 Thursday, June 2, 1994 Shrine Bowling Jazz Underdogs in semis 1992-93. in the playoffs, he scored 27. 1 ppg, but his accuracy dipped to 46.7 percent. Fellow All-Star John Stockton, the other half of Utah's premier guard-forward duo, celebrated his 32nd birthday in March.

He again tallied 15 points and 12 assists per game this season and won his seventh consecutive NBA assist title. But increasingly, Stockton has fallen prey to younger, quicker guards. "We outdid everybody's expectations, except our own. But there's a lot of room for improvement," he acknowledged. "I think we're in good shape to improve on this year." Off-guard Jeff Hornacek, obtained from Philadelphia last February for Jeff Malone and Utah's first-round draft pick this summer, gave the Jazz an outside threat.

It was not enough. Hornacek hit 43 percent of his 3-pointers in 27 games for Utah. But Stockton once a terror from beyond the circle saw his 3-point shooting dip from nearly 39 percent a. year ago to 32 percent this season, and only 17 percent during the playoffs. Hornacek, too, may have passed his peak at 31.

Continued from Dl bring me back." Miller could not be reached for comment Wednesday, but last October he signed Malone to a contract extension designed to keep him in a Jazz uniform through the 2000-2001 season. Earlier, Miller also extended Sloan's contract, assuring him a job at least through next season. Still, the Jazz finds itself at a crossroads. Houston's 4-1 victory in the best-of-seven series ended what may have been aging Utah's best chance at a title run for years to come. In a league where the NBA reports the average player age is 27, four of the five Jazz starters will be 3 1 or older next season.

"Do I feel old? I feel the same way I did when I was a rookie," said Malone, who turns 31 next month. "I've lost some hair, but other than that I feel fine." But this season, the Mailman found it harder to deliver against the likes of Hakeem Olajuwon, Houston's NBA MVP, and Dikcmbc Mutombo of Denver. Malone averaged 25.2 points per game on 49.7 percent shooting during the regular season, down from 27 ppg and 55.2 percent in PARIS (AP) One is known for his biarre-looking forehand; the other is a journeyman Swede. Both are now in the semifinals of the French Open. A pair of unseeded players.

Alberta Bcrasategui and Magnus Larsson, emerged Wednesday as the last two survivors from a lower bracket depleted by upsets and robbed of big names. Bcrasategui eliminated the last remaining seed in his half of the draw, No. 5 Goran Ivanisevic, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, to confirm his status as one of the game's hottest new clay-court players. "It's like a dream for me." the 20-year-old Spaniard said. Larsson saved six match points in the third set against 19-ycar-old German llendrik Drcekmann and then cruised to a 3-6.

6-7 (7-1), 7-6 (7-3), 6-0, 6-1 victory. It's the first time since 1973 that two unseeded men have reached the French Open semifinals. Whoever wins on Friday will become the first non-seeded player to make the French Open final since Mikael Pcrnforsin 1986. By contrast, the men's semifi-nalists in the other bracket are defending champ Sergi Bruguera (No. 15 Continued from Dl about the continued absence of Cory Iverson and Jeremy Poison of Lander Valley High School, who graduated Tuesday night but did not arrive in time for Wednesday's morning practice.

While rosters for both the North and South have been nearly continually shuffled since January, the South has had 33 players in camp since Monday, while Lander's absence decreases the North's numbers to 31. i -Offensively, Smith said his squad has "pretty good speed, the kids are pretty knowledgable with Mhe things we're doing. Our ground game and passing game appear to be pretty even." Defensively, Smith said his main concern is "trying to keep them toned down. We're trying to go over coverages and taking care of things and all they want to do is hit. They're hungry." Smith said the popping is done until Saturday because he does not want to risk injuries beyond soreness and bumps and bruises.

"There is pretty good strength up front and all the way around," Smith said. Sheridan's Ben Phillips and Buffalo's Trevor Moon will share quarterback duties for the North, while the South had a separation meeting Wednesday afternoon to begin molding a game depth chart. "Both feel real comfortable with the offense," Smith said of Phillips and Moon. "I feel real good with where we are there." SHRINE NOTES: Players and coaches will spend this evening at the Eastrldge Mall. Teams will have media picture day on Friday at Harry Geldlen Stadium, with the North from 9 10:15 a.m.

Continued from Dl 1,164 three-game scries.

That total beat by five pins the effort of a doubles team from North Carolina. Robinson fired a personal-best 624 scries, while McPeters rolled a 540. Both received a synthetic ruby pendant and will share the $2,000 first-pluee check. "Believe me, I've got plenty of plans for my share of the money," Robinson quipped. The Arch of Wyoming scored a 2,266 three-game total, including a tourney-best 876 in the second game.

They, too, will receive a pendant and split the $900 purse. McPeters feels fortunate just to be able to bowl again. The 30-ycar-veteran of bowling had both knees replaced in September 1992. "Though my average has dropped from 163 down to 141 now, I'm just glad I got to start over again to even go bowling," McPeters said. Robinson entered the tourney with a 170 average.

The two also won the Wyoming doubles championships at the recent state tournament held in Tor-rington.

Today's schedule features the women's semifinals pitting No. I Steffi Graf against No.

Ivanisevic is 6-foot-4, while the Spaniard is 5-8. "1 was surprised," Berasategui said. "I never thought of winning this match this easy. I was afraid of him. He has a very big serve, he key was my return.

I knew I could take the match from the baseline, but I had to return well." It was Berasategui who never lost serve, while Ivanisevic was broken four times. Berasategui had only two aces, but he saved them both for the final game: the first for 1 5-0 and the second on match point. "When I was young, I saw players like Boris Becker finish matches with an ace," he said.
