Ball St. picks new coach
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) New Ball State basketball coach Dick Hunsaker isn’t going to try to fill Rick Majerus’s shoes. Or his pants. “I can’t begin to fill Rick’s pants ... it would take two of me to fill ’em,” Hunsaker said of his portly predecessor. “But seriously, Rick is Rick; I’m just going to be me.” Hunsaker was named Thursday to take over the successful program Majerus built

said he was pleased with his team’s second-half performance. “We just ran out of gas,” he said. “The Nuggets have good depth and use it wisely. They are a good club and are playing for something.” It was Denver’s 17th consecutive victory at home. “We’re playing very well at home,” said Nuggets Bill Hanzlik. “We’re very tough to beat here and refuse to lose.” MICHAEL ADAMS contributed 26 points, including four 3pointers, while Alex English turned in 25 points for Denver.

Last week he visited Minnesota and was scheduled to go to Purdue today, but made up his mind early. “I wanted to go to Indiana,” he said. “I’m glad to get the opportunity to play there.

Trevino leads Masters for once
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Not even the best round of the day could keep Lee Trevino from insisting that his golf game wasn’t suited to the Augusta National course. Jack Nicklaus didn’t buy that contention for one minute. Neither did Tom Watson. NICKLAUS SAID HE once told Trevino, “You can play anywhere. There’s no reason in the world you can’t play that golf course.” “Does he have the game to play this course?” Watson asked. “You bet he does.” Trevino, who has won each of the four major championships except the Masters, solved the swirling Augusta winds Thursday better than anyone in the 85-man field. He shot a 5-under-par 67 and had a one-shot lead over Nick Faldo of Great Britain after the opening round of the 53rd Masters. “Sixty-seven on a windy day at
IU finding blockers for Thompson
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Finding the players to clear the way for running back Anthony Thompson is a major goal of coach Bill Mallory during Indiana’s spring football drills. Center Brian Vargo is the only returnee from the offensive line that helped Thompson set Indiana rushing and scoring records last season while winning the Big Ten’s most valuable player award. “WE’RE SEEING SOME people come through for us in our
Walk-on could fill big hole for Irish
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Mike Brennan, a football walk-on at Notre Dame, is the leading candidate this spring to fill the lone vacancy in the Irish offensive line, created by the graduation of AllAmerica tackle Andy Heck. The 6-foot-5 Brennan has added nearly 90 pounds to the 180 he weighed when he joined the Irish. BRENNAN PLAYED IN all 12 games for the Irish last year, mainly as Heck’s back-up. But he started against Miami and Navy at guard

Augusta is a great round of golf,” Watson said. “I’m pulling for him. If I can’t win, I want Lee to win.” “IT’S FABULOUS TO see him playing well,” Nicklaus said. Trevino, one of the game’s most colorful performers, said, “This is a confidence builder to find it on a course not suited to my game in difficult conditions.” The 49-year-old MexicanAmerican has insisted for years that he can’t play this 6,905-yard course. This is his 18th Masters he’s turned down invitations three times and withdrew another time because of illness and the last he can play under his five-year exemption for winning the PGA in 1984. “I MAY COME back with three 80s,” Trevino said. “I always regret what I say,” he added, referring to past criticism of this course. “When you talk as much as I do you put a shoe in

I feel good about the offensive line.” Candidates to replace Don Shrader, Tim Radtke, Jeff Fryar and Chris Simons as offensive starters include 6-foot-6, 288-pound junior Todd Oberdorf and 6-5, 275-pound Randy Schneider.

We have the same goal that I can be the best I possibly can be. “But I’m going to be Mike Brennan. I’m not Andy Heck. So

every once in a while.” “I didn’t expect to play this well,” he said. “It lets me know there still is a spark in the fireplace. All I’ve got to do is throw the right wood on it.” TREVINO GAVE SOME of the credit for his round to a 21-year-old picture taken of him during his first Masters. It showed his putting stance with his elbows up against his stomach. “I’ve been all over the place,” he said of his arms flinging while putting recently. “It could only go so far.” He went back to that style Thursday and said, “I was making them from everywhere.” Trevino, winner of two U.S. and British Opens and two PGAs, had a bogey-free round. His four birdies on the front side came on putts of 10, 20, five and 20 feet. He also birdied the par-3 16th from three feet.

MALLORY HAS MADE one key shift to improve the offensive line, switching starting outside linebacker Terry Saunders to tight end. t “That’s where he belongs,” Mallory said Thursday.

I’m going to play to the best of my ability. I hope that’s enough. Let’s put it this way make it enough.” LIKE HECK, BRENNAN has been converted from tight end to offensive tackle. “It wasn’t that big of a transition, because I was basically a blocking tight end that ran some patterns,” Brennan said. “Basically the move was a pleasant surprise for me and I like

Don Pooley and Andy Bean each shot 70s and five players shot 71 two-time champion Seve Ballesteros of Spain, T. C. Chen of Taiwan, Jumbo Ozaki of Japan, Ben Crenshaw and Tom Purtzer. Scotland’s Sandy Lyle, the defending champion, struggled to a 77. Watson, Tom Kite and Hal Sutton were in a group at 72 and Nicklaus had a 73, one shot better than Mark Calcavecchia, Curtis Strange and Australian Greg Norman, one of the game’s top players still seeking an elusive Masters crown.

good line.” Mallory does know that quarterback Dave Schnell, selected the most valuable player in the Liberty Bowl, is the one he wants handing the ball to Thompson. “DAVE’S MY quarterback,” said Mallory, adding that he plans to have Tom Bolyard, who played at quarterback late last season, only for punting with redshirted freshman Trent Green as a back-up. “I just want Dave to be as good as Dave can be.”
it a lot. The hardest part was putting the weight on. But that really wasn’t that big of a problem,” he said. BRENNAN DOESN’T expect any letdown by the Irish this fall. “There’s been no dropoff as far as I can see,” said Brennan, who turned down scholarship offers to play lacrosse at national powers in that sport for the slim chance of playing football at Notre Dame. Tennis’ big two now in quarterfinals HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova took their big serves into today’s quarterfinals of the $300,000 Family Circle Magazine Cup tennis tournament. Graf, the tournament’s top seed, said after her third round win that her serve is the most improved part of her game since last year. And Navratilova said her 6-4, 6-2 victory over Catarina Lindqvist on Thursday was the best she’s served on a clay court in five years. Graf and Navratilova are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the world and are the tournament’s top two seeds. Graf was to meet Radka Zrubakova of Czechoslovakia in today’s quarterfinals, while Navratilova was to play eighth-seeded Hana Mandlikova of Australia.
