8 VJrf'v i HI a mm am .1 Rookie Goverde to start in goal against Chicago Hrudey, who has 5.27 goals-against average In his last eight games, will sit out tonight. ByRlCKSADOWSKI Los Angeles Daily News WINNIPEG, Manitoba Kings coach Barry Melrose thought enough of goaltender David Go-verde's play Friday night that he said the 22-year-old rookie will start again tonight in Chicago. "I just tried to play my game, not give up any bad goals," said Goverde, who stopped only 18 of 23 shots but too often was left to fend for himself. "I was a little nervous," he said. "It's really tough not knowing (the opposing) players.

I'm not a seasoned vet by any stretch of the imagination." Goverde was called up late Wednesday night from the Phoenix Roadrunners of the International Hockey League, where he had a 14-11 record and a 3.73 goals-against average. When a Winnipeg reporter asked Melrose why Kelly Hrudey and Robb Stauber were given the night off, he barked, "Because our goaltending's been bad." Hrudey is 0-5-3 with a 5.27 goals-against average in his past eight games. Stauber is 0-3 with one no-decision and a 5.45 average in four. The Kings have allowed five-plus goals in eight of the past nine games and 57 in their 10-game win-less streak. It didn't take long for Goverde to be welcomed into the Kings' version of the NHL.

Teemu Selanne had a step on Paul Coffey when he accepted Alexei Zhamnov's goal-mouth pass and strutted down the slot for a tap-in goal 57 seconds into the game on Winnipeg's first shot. "Davey played well," Coffey said. "What's he supposed to do?" GRETZKY WANTS TO PLAY TONIGHT: Melrose and Wayne Gretzky plan to lobby back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins to permit the center to play against the Blackhawks. The original plan was to have Gretzky sit out tonight's game, then let him loose for the remainder of the season.

"I want him to play, but that call will be made by the doctors," Melrose said. "The reasoning is that it would be his third game in a short time (five nights) after being out for so long. "Certainly we don't want to press our luck. It's a small building and with the way (the Blackhawks) forecheck we don't want to take any chances." Said Gretzky: "I still hope they let me play."

The victory kept the Penguins unbeaten (26-0-3) when leading after two periods and improved their record to 18-3-3 at home. Stevens broke around Flames defenseman Michel Petit, faked a shot on goal and slid a back-hand-er behind goalie Mike Vernon. It gave a nine-game scoring streak. "It turned out to be a big goal at the time and now we get to go on the road and see how we do," said Stevens.

In the latest salvo of the ever-widening football feud between fans of the Cowboys and Eagles, one of the largest grocery chains in Dallas will pull Philadelphia cream cheese from its shelves today when the bitter NFC East rivals meet at Texas Stadium in a playoff game. Bill Parker, president of the Kroger Co. in Dallas, said his 60 area stores will offer alternative brands today. He also wondered how Philadelphia grocers would respond. "Perhaps they will take off all their pic-ante sauces," he said.

"Their grocery chains up there are probably not as innovative as the ones in Texas, though. I'm not even sure they have grocery stores in Philly." But Dallas Morning News columnist Helen Bryant notes that it's doubtful the economy of Philadelphia will be seriously disrupted by Parker's move. Philadelphia cream cheese is nade in Springfield, not Pennsylvania. But why let a little fact stand in the way of some good ribbing?

Love takes lead, and maybe title By Bob Green The Associated Press CARLSBAD Davis Love III might have won the Tournament of Champions with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 54th hole Saturday. The only thing certain is that he took the third-round lead in the kickoff event on the 1993 PGA Tour. East defeats West, 27-13 The Associated Press TOKYO Shane Matthews' touchdown pass to O.J. McDuffie in the third period broke a tie and George Teague provided the clincher with a 47-yard interception return as the East beat the West 27-13 in the Japan Bowl college all-star game on Sunday. Two plays into the second half, Fresno State's Lorenzo Neal fumbled and Syracuse linebacker Glen Young recovered at the West 28.

Two plays later, Matthews, the record-setting Florida quarterback, hooked up on a 25-yard scoring pass with McDuffie, Penn State's Ail-American wide receiver, to give the East a 17-10 lead. "I think what won us the game was that we played with no turnovers, no crucial mistakes, and we had good defensive plays," said East coach Steve Spurrier, Matthews' college coach at Florida. The West was within three, 20-13, with three minutes to play when Teague, a defensive back for national champion Alabama, intercepted a pass by Pacific's Troy Kopp and returned it for a TD. "I didn't get much action, so I as really happy to be able to get a big play like that," said Teague, who is headed back home to play in the Senior Bowl at Mobile, Ala. Teague's interception was the fourth by the East.

"We got behind and tried to catch up. They were obvious throwing downs. We couldn't establish the running game well," West coach Spike Dykes of Texas Tech said of the interceptions.

Love didn't go quite that far, but admitted that "on the last hole we both felt like it was Sunday like a weird Sunday." Love's clutch putt, which dropped in on top of Azinger's 40-footer, finished offa 3-under-par 69 for a 54-hole total of 13-undcr-par 203. Azinger, who three-putted three times on the back nine, shot 70 and is at 204.

Geiberger, who had a 69, retained a share of the top spot with a six-foot par putt on the final hole, while Dent had a 70 but made up three shots with a 33 on the back. Dave Stockton of Mentonc shot a 69 and is at 212. Ray Floyd, the first man to qualify for competition in both segments of the tournament, struggled to a 73 and is at par 216, 13 behind Love and seven back of Dent and Geiberger.
