Baltimore, Oakland eye USFL title...
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - The Baltimore Stars, who scored 17 fewer touchdowns this season than last year’s team that won the United States Football League title, nevertheless find themselves on the verge of winning another championship “Early in the season, it seemed like when we passed well we couldn’t run the ball, and when we ran well we couldn't pass,” quarterback Chuck Fusina said Friday after practice for Sunday’s USFL title game against the Oakland Invaders. “We finally got both our running game and passing game on track.” After a 5-6-1 start that threatened to keep them out of the playoffs, the Stars, who lost the first USFL title game to Michigan before beating Arizona in last year’s finale, have won seven of their past eight games The last two were impressive playoff victories over New Jer sey and Birmingham, both of whom had better regularseason records than Baltimore.
...as team owners wrestle with sss woes
TEANECK, N.J. (AP) United States Football League owners are continuing to search for ways to shore up failing teams and meet tardy payrolls. But they’re not coming up with quick answers. While the Baltimore Stars and Oakland Invaders con tinued to practice for Sunday’s USFL championship game five miles away at Giants Stadium, the owners met for 10 hours to solve some current problems and come up with a plan for the switch to the fall in 1986. But they didn’t get very far, resolving only to meet again Sunday for more discussion Commissioner Harry Usher said after the meeting that it was only part of a long series of discussions to con tinue through the summer. But more typical was the response of Ralph Campbell, representing the Tampa Bay Bandits in the absence of ailing owner John Bassett. Asked if anything had been accomplished, Campbell laughed, then replied: “I would say this meeting went as they usually do. Nothing was really determined or decided.” One problem facing the league is the four teams that Alvarez, Coles tied for second
Lopez up one stroke to lead U.S. Women's Open
SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (AP) - Nancy Lopez is hoping that a combination of confidence, luck and a hot putter can carry her to the 1985 U.S. Women’s Open golf title. Lopez had all three going for her Friday as she carded her second straight 2-under-par 70, giving her 140 after two rounds and a one-stroke lead over Vicki Alvarez and Janet Coles, tied for second at 141. “You need a lucky day in the four to win a tournament like this, and that’s the kind
of day I had,” said Lopez, who has never won an Open in her illustrious career. “My driver was giving me trouble, but my putter remained faithful, and that kept me in there,” added Lopez, who had five birdies in her second round over the 6,274yard upper course at Baltusrol Golf Club. “Confidence is carrying me right now,” said Lopez, who made a marvelous on the par-3 seventh by blasting out of a bunker on the right side of the green for a birdie

“At the beginning of the season, our players probably thought that they would easily make the playoffs,” Stars Coach Jim Mora said. “But by midseason. I certainly had doubts and I’m sure the players did, too.” The Invaders, who have nine players from the Michigan team that beat the then-Philadelphia Stars in the first USFL title game two years ago, had the best regular-season record (13-5) in the league. Oakland is 22-4-1 over the last 27 games since last season. “You’ve got to hand it to Baltimore for getting to the title game three years in a row, especially after being 5-6-1,” Oakland Coach Charlie Sumner said “They’ve got one of the best backs in the league in Kelvin Bryant and one of the most effective quarterbacks. Their defense is the best in the league.” Fusina and Mora said the key to Baltimore's turnaround was Bryant, who missed three full games and parts of four others with injuries, but came back to rush
have not yet met payrolls Tampa Bay, Portland, Houston and San Antonio. They have until the end of July to pay their players or lose them as free agents. Another is paring the rosters down to the 35 men by Aug. 1 as required in the contract with the league’s players association. Due to the financial problems, league sources say, some of those cut loose may include some of the highest-paid players and biggest names. The first is probably Steve Young, the Los Angeles Express quarterback who wants out. The team, being run by the league, averaged 8,000 a game in attendance, finished 3-15 and is still looking for a buyer. Usher said he would discuss the situation with Young’s lawyer, Leigh Steinberg, but indications were that Young’s release isn’t far away. The other pressing problem discussed by the owners was the sale of the Houston Gamblers. Jerry Argovitz, one of three Gambler owners, is pressing for a sale to a group headed by Wall Street financier Carl Icahn, who would move the team to New York. But ther are several snags to that.
Lopez, who also rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole, was tied with Kathy Baker and Janet Anderson after the first round. She gained a little breathing room when Baker shot a par-72 second round, finishing the day at 142, while Anderson came in at 73 and was at 143 after two rounds. “It was an up-and-down round.” said Baker, who had three birdies and three bogeys, “but I’m happy with my position. I don’t think anyone is going to run away

Texans lead field in Busch Classic WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) Midway through the $500,000 Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic two Texans lead the pack But the resident pro is beginning to feel more at home not a good omen for the rest of the golfers since that man is Curtis Strange, the leading money-winner on the PGA Tour this year. “It looks like I may be able to play this golf course,” Lon Hinkle said Friday after his second sub-par round in as many days gave him a 10-under-par 132 total and a one-stroke advantage over fellow Texan Keith Fergus. “Overall, it was not quite as good a day as yesterday,” said Hinkle, who carded a 7-under 64 Thursday and a 68 Friday, “but I’m certainly satisfied with a 10-under after two days.” Fergus stormed up on Hinkle Friday with a rain-interrupted 64, including five birdies in his first nine holes on the 6,746yard, par-71 Kingsmill Golf Club course. Five players were tied for third at 8under 134 Don Pooley, Roger Maltbie, Wayne Grady, Paul Azinger and Danny Edwards. The group of four at 135 included Strange, the host pro at Kingsmill and winner of last week's Canadian Open. Strange vaulted into contention with a 65 after a 1under 70 on Thursday. “Today I hit it better and made a few more putts,” said Strange, who needs SII,OOO to break the single-season earnings record of $530,808.
for 1,207 yards and average 5.1 yards per carry. Bryant, the 1983 USFL Most Valuable Player, rushed for 116 yards on 13 carries and caught four passes for 101 yards in Baltimore's 28-14 semifinal playoff victory over favored Birmingham. “When we’re healthy, and especially when Kelvin’s healthy, we can score,” Mora said. “We sputtered a lot on offense this season.” W’hile Bryant was personally dismantling Birmingham, 5-foot-ll wide receiver Anthony Carter was the focal point of Oakland’s 28-19 semifinal triumph at Memphis, the Invaders’ 11th victory in 12 games. Carter caught nine passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns from quarterback Bobby Hebert. Carter just missed a third TD, when he was forced out of bounds at the one after a 27-yard fourth-quarter catch. There’s not a better receiver in this league,” Mora said.
One is a probable veto by Donald Trump, owner of the New Jersey Generals, into whose territory the team would move. Argovitz said he would meet Saturday with Trump to try to get an agreement on some sort of indemnity. Another is an attempt by another of the Gamblers’ three owners, Alvin Lubetkin, to keep the team in Houston. “A franchise staying in Houston is not the worst of all possible worlds," Usher said. Usher also reiterated his desire to see the league shrink from 14 to 12 teams when it resumes play in the fall. There are actually 15 current franchises counting Chicago, which didn’t play this year but officially remains in the league. The owners also discussed Usher’s demand that San Antonio meet its payroll or have its franchise revoked. The team’s representatives are seeking to have the letter of credit they filed with the league revoked.
with this tournament.” Putting the immediate pressure on Lopez are Coles and Alvarez, who shot 69s Friday to move within a stroke of the leader. “Teeing off early was an advantage,” said Coles, who had no bogeys and three birdies in the round. “I played the first 14 holes with no wind.” “I was pretty consistent and tried to stay patient.” said Alvarez, who had just one bogey and four birdies in her round.
