Hurricanes stay atop college poll
By The Associated Press Miami, which rallied in the fourth quarter to beat Florida State, used the victory to stay atop The Associated Press’ football poll for the sixth straight week. The Hurricanes improved to 8-0 Saturday by beating No. 20 Florida State 41-23 and knocking the Seminoles out of the Top Twenty. Penn State and Michigan, also 8-0 and the only other unbeaten and untied major-college teams, remained No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, in the poll released Monday. Oklahoma is still fourth, but Auburn and Washington fell several positions while Arizona State jumped from seventh to fifth. Miami got 53 of 58 firsl-place votes and 1,153 of a possible 1,160 points from a nationwide panel of sports writers and sportscasters. Penn State, which moved into the second spot a week ago, received four first-place votes and 1,076 points after a 19-0 triumph over West Virginia. The other first-place ballot went to Michigan, which routed Illinois 69-13 and received 1,053 points. Oklahoma, 7-1, got 953 points after ripping Kansas 64-3. Arizona State’s 34-21 victory over then-No. 6 Washington lifted the Sun Devils, 7-0-1, into fifth place with 921 points while the Huskies dropped to 13th. Alabama rebounded from last week’s 23-3 loss to Penn State and defeated Mississippi State 38-3. The Crimson Tide got 861 points in moving from eighth to sixth while the Bulldogs, then No. 19, fell out of the rankings after a four-week stay. Nebraska improved from ninth to seventh with 793 points after a 38-0 rout of Kansas State. Texas A&M moved from 10th to eighth with 740 points after beating Southern Methodist 39-35.
Golden State uses defense to post victory over Knicks
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) The Golden State Warriors have new owners, a new coach, new uniforms and, most importantly, a new attitude. Particularly where defense is concerned. After finishing last by giving up 116.9 points per game last year, the Warriors have turned their defensive game around under the direction of Coach George Karl. “I think the main thing this team needed was confidence and composure,” Karl said after Monday night’s 104-95 victory over the New York Knicks. “The best coach for this team is winning. It has to start believing in itself. And winning is the best way I know of gaining confidence.” Purvis Short, who led all scorers with 26 points, put the credit for Golden State’s defensive resurgence squarely on Karl. “Basically, it’s his philosophy,” Short said. “We try to create mass confusion out there. We’re not just running helter-skelter. Everyone has a role, a job to do, in every given situation.” Knicks Coach Hubie Brown, however, said superior defense was only one factor in Golden State’s victory, which improved the Warriors’ record to 2-1. “They forced us into 21 turnovers. Their defense outhustled us,” said Brown, whose team is winless after three games. “But the other half of the Warrior defense was that we
Levy takes over in Buffalo to acquaint Bills with winning
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) The Buffalo Bills have introduced themselves to Coach Marv Levy, who in turn hopes to acquaint the players with something new winning. In replacing Hank Bullough, who was fired Monday, Levy takes over a team that is 2-7 this year and has won only six of 41 games. But Levy, the former Kansas City Chiefs head coach, said he feels the team is not that far from becoming a contender in the National Football League. “I think there are a lot of players on this team who are on the upswing, many more than who are on the downside,” he said. ‘‘lf we can get some good drafts to back them up, fine.” Levy also said he has something to offer the Bills that could make them a better football team. “I understand and realize that, coming in in mid-season, there are some things that a coach can contribute,” Levy, who was working as

Auburn, which had been unbeaten, lost to Florida 18-17 and fell from fifth to ninth with 660 points. Arkansas, No. 13 last week, rounded out the Top Ten with 639 points after defeating Rice 45-14. The Second Ten is Ohio State, UCLA, Washington, Southern California, North Carolina State, lowa, Arizona, LSU, Georgia and Clemson. Last week, it was lowa, LSU, Arkansas, Arizona, UCLA, North Carolina State, Ohio State, Southern Cal, Mississippi State and Florida State. Georgia and Clemson both moved into the Top Twenty, replacing Florida State and Mississippi State. Georgia had been ranked in the first three polls but missed the last six while Clemson dropped out last week after being ranked in the three previous polls.
missed enough open shots for 82 games.” New York’s starting guards, Trent Tucker and Rory Sparrow, combined to miss their first 18 shots and finished with a dismal 7-of-29 for the game. Meanwhile, Short was scoring 19 of his points in the second half and Eric Floyd was handing out a game-high 17 assists for Golden State. Floyd triggered a 12-0 run at the start of the third quarter with six points of his own as the Warriors broke the game open. “Tonight we had a lot of highlight film material,” said Karl. “I honestly don’t know what part of our defensive game was lacking.” Tucker led the Knicks with 19 points, and center Bill Cartwright and Pat Cummings each contributed 17. Cummings also led both teams with 13 rebounds, while Larry Smith topped Golden State with 10. New York center Patrick Ewing got into early foul trouble and the Knicks paid the price, falling behind 19-9 after eight minutes and trailing 25-19 after the first quarter. Cummings and Louis Orr then came off the bench to score 10 points each in the second quarter, leading the Knicks to a 50-49 halftime edge that disappeared on Floyd’s thirdperiod spurt. The Warriors were called for five technical fouls because of illegal defenses, with the Knicks converting on three of the free-throw’ opportunities.
director of football operations for the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes, said. ‘‘He can contribute a sense of direction.” Levy said he also hopes to bring “a sense of organization” to a team that has lacked it during several games this season, including the 34-28 loss at Tampa Bay Sunday that probably cost Bullough his job. Two crucial fumbles on kickoffs led directly to Tampa Bay touchdowns that helped the Buccaneers to a 20-0 halftime lead before the Bills rallied. “The decision was reached very; very recently that a change in direction was needed,” General Manager Bill Polian said. Telephone calls to Bullough’s home Monday were not answered. Levy, who broke into professional coaching in 1969 as kicking coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, said he would “direct most attention toward the kicking game, which is shoddy now, in my opinion.”

JOE MONTANA-Given the OK
Doctor gives Montana green light to play
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) Seven weeks after undergoing an operation for what was described as a career-threatening back injury, Joe Montana has gotten the green light from his surgeon and may start Sunday for the San Francisco 49ers. Coach Bill Walsh said he would decide today whether to activate the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback, now on injured reserve, for the game against St. Louis in Candlestick Park. Walsh has said a decision would be based on medical reports. On Monday, Dr. Arthur White emerged from a meeting with Walsh, team doctors and 49ers strength coach Jerry Attaway and pronounced Montana ready to play. “Joe is in as good shape as he’s going to be, and waiting any longer is not going to improve the situation,” said White, who performed the Sept. 15 operation. “He can take anything right now.” Montana, who quarterbacked the 49ers’ first offensive unit in their afternoon practice Monday, said he’s eager to return Sunday to help the in-jury-plagued 49ers, 5-3-1. He said he considers himself “85 to 90 percent” ready, with only slight numbness in one foot. “If it were up to me, I’d be in there,” he said. The 30-year-old Montana, who originally said he planned to return for a Nov. 17 game against Washington, said he was fully confident that he’s in no danger.
Competitive fire still burning
BALTIMORE (AP) The competitive fire still burns in Lefty Driesell, the deposed University of Maryland basketball coach. Only five days after he resigned under pressure, Driesell said Monday he already misses the job that has been his passion since 1955. While claiming to be relaxed and feeling financially secure in his new job as assistant athletic director, Driesell left little doubt that his first love is coaching. “I’ll probably want to get back... I have the urge already,” Driesell told The Associated Press in his first interview since ending his 17-year coaching career at Maryland last week. “I’m not going after anybody’s job, but if they contact me, I’d be in-

“It’s his (the doctor’s) job to know,” he said. “He’s done thousands of backs.” White has cautioned Montana against passing to the right while running to the left, a maneuver that caused him to aggravate a ruptured disk late in the team’s 31-7 seasonopening victory over Tampa Bay. But he said he will be in no more danger of a serious injury than any other player. . The doctor said it is as fast a return to pro football as anyone has ever made from a disk operation. Walsh said it appears that Montana “is in better shape than he would have been playing (in games), because he would have been banged up. He has fresh legs, as we call it.” Center Fred Quillan said the star quarterback’s return will be “just fabulous.” Offensive lineman Randy Cross, however, expressed concern that Montana may be coming back too soon. “It would be important (to have him back), but I happen to think it’s a lot more important for Joe to be completely healthy than to worry about when he’s going to come back and play savior,” said Cross. “He’s got quite a few years ahead of him, hopefully, and it would be a shame to see somebody that good screw himself up.” Montana, the 49ers’ starting quarterback since 1980, is the winner of two Most Valuable Player awards in Super Bowl triumphs.
terested in talking,” Driesell said by telephone from his home in Silver Spring, Md. “I can still coach. I might even enjoy coaching in the NBA. “Who knows, I might just like my new job,” he said. “I won’t miss the recruiting, the travel, and the daily headaches.” But longtime friends and associates are convinced Driesell won’t away from the coaching bench for long. Some predict he will be back coaching as soon as a job at a major school is available. “He has the urge to come back right now,” Florida Coach Norm Sloan correctly forecast over the weekend. “If someone wants him, he’ll be back. We all know that.”
