** Wahine 15-0 **
The second-ranked University of Hawaii Wahine volleyball team
improved to 15-0 this season after defeating New Mexico State
15-8, 10-15, 15-8, 17-15 in a Big West Conference match last
night at Las Cruces, N.M. "It was a struggle," said UH coach
Dave Shoji. "We showed some courage in the fourth game. They had
game-ball on us several times and we came back." Leading the
comeback were Therese Crawford and Angelica Ljungquist, who had
25 and 23 kills respectively. Maria Roh paced New Mexico State
(7-9) with 19 kills. Hawaii will return home for an 8-match
homestand beginning with Cal State-Fullerton on Friday at the
Special Events Arena.
** Americans Win Ironman Titles **
Using strong surges in the final marathon leg, Americans Mark
Allen and Karen Smyers capture the men's and women's titles of
the Ironman Triathlon World Championship at Kailua-Kona on the
Big Island. Battling temperatures in the low-90s and 20-25 mile-
per-hour winds, Allen and Smyers strided by their closest foes in
the closing segments of the run. Allen, now a six-time winner of
the event, overtook Germany's Thomas Hellriegel about three miles
from the finish line to win in a non-record time of 8 hours, 20
minutes, 34 seconds. First-time winner Smyers (9:16:46) won in
even more dramatic fashion by sprinting past four-time defending
champion Paula Newby-Fraser of Zimbabwe in the last 400 yards.
After being overtaken, Newby-Fraser collapsed, and after
gathering herself, finished the final quarter mile 20 minutes
later.
** Prep Football Roundup **

match without a loss this season by topping New Mexico State 15-

Las Cruces, N.M. Jenny Wilton contributed 12 kills, 19 digs and

In a related story, UH received word from the Big West Conference
that the University and the three Wahine volleyball players who
were in a MidWeek article "did not appear to be in violation of
NCAA rules." The three--Therese Crawford, Joselyn Robins, and
Cia Goods--were the centerpieces for a story that included
references to several businesses that had provided them with
makeup and clothes for photos accompanying the article.
** Ironman Triathlon Today **
Greg Welch of Australia and Paula Newby-Fraser of Zimbabwe have

** UH Reports Possible NCAA Violation **
Yesterday, University of Hawaii officials blew the whistle on
itself to the Big West Conference for possible NCAA rules
infraction stemming from an article in this week's edition of
MidWeek, a local newspaper/tabloid. The article featured Wahine
volleyball players Therese Crawford, Joselyn Robins, and Cia
Goods and included photos of the three dressed in provocative
evening attire. In addition, the article made references to the
stores that provided the clothing, hairstyling, and make-up for
the three student-athletes. These references could be deemed as
endorsements by the three athletes, a violation of NCAA rules.
No word from Big West Conference officials has been received.
** Ironman Tomorrow **
About 1,400 triathletes from around the world will compete in the
Ironman Triathlon tomorrow in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. The
race consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike race, and 26.2
mile run. Hawaii's top competitors are Brent Imomen, who
finished 26th overall with a time of 9:06:00 last year, and
Debbie Hornsby, the 14th woman finisher in last year's Ironman
and the Female Age-Group Triathlete of the Year in 1994.
** Molokai-to-Oahu Canoe Race Sunday **
While world-class triathletes gather on the Big Island on
Saturday, the world's best outrigger canoe paddlers will assemble
on Molokai on Sunday for the Molokai Hoe, a 41-mile race from
Hale O Lono Harbor on Molokai to Duke Kahanamoku Beach fronting
the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. Among the record 90
crews entered is two-time defending champion Faaa Canoe Club of
Tahiti. In 1993, Faaa blitzed to the fastest-ever channel
crossing with a time of 4 hours, 55 minutes, 27 seconds. No club
had ever completed the race in under five hours prior to that.
** HPU Hoopsters Eighth **

** Wahine Pound Spartans **
The University of Hawaii Wahine won their 13th volleyball match
without a loss last night. Ranked second in the nation, the
Wahine swept San Jose State 15-6, 15-9, 15-10 in a Big West
Conference match at San Jose. Angelica Ljungquist and Therese
Crawford had 12 and 11 kills to lead Hawaii (13-0 overall and 6-0
in the conference). The Spartans fell to 8-7 and 2-4. Hawaii
continues its roadtrip with matches tomorrow and Saturday at New
Mexico State (7-7).
** CaneFires Nix Beer Sales **
To avoid controversy, officials from the West Oahu CaneFires have
decided not to sell beer this season at their home games at Hans
L'Orange Field. Representatives from the Hawaii Winter Baseball
League club said that "it is better to concentrate on the game of
baseball We don't want the beer issue to distract from the
game." A bill to allow liquor sales at Hans L'Orange has been
working its way through the City Council the past few weeks.
Council chair John Desoto, who blames the death of his son on
abuse of alcohol, has made several emotional pleas against the
bill. The HWBL season is set to begin on Oct. 21.
** Prep Sports News **
Punahou freshman Eri Macdonald, the daughter of Hawaii running
great Duncan Macdonald, set a course record last week at the
Hawaii Prep Invitational cross-country meet. Macdonald blitzed

McGuire-Turcotte, the 1994 Hawaii high school state champion,

from Kamehameha won the 2-mile girls' race in 14:15.
----
Kamehameha will play nationally-ranked Punahou in the feature
high school football game of the week Saturday night at Aloha
Stadium. The Buffanblu, coming off a triumph over powerhouse St.
Louis, are ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 23 in the nation.
They can clinch the Interscholastic League of Honolulu first
round title with a victory over the No. 4 Warriors.

Quarterback Club Sportspersons of the Month for September. Ah
Mow, the setter for the Wahine volleyball team, led Hawaii to 12
wins last month and earned all-tournament honors at Wahine
Classic and the Imua Wahine Challenge. Freitas, a junior
quarterback, led the Bow gridders to two straight triumphs.

** Lakers to Open Camp **
The Los Angeles Lakers will officially begin their pre-season
training camp Friday at Klum Gym on the University of Hawaii
campus. A preliminary optional mini-camp began yesterday with
five players--either rookies or free-agent hopefuls--in
attendance. Said former Laker great Jerry West, now executive
vice president of basketball operations for the club: "It's good
to be back. We are thankful the lockout is over and we will have
a season." The Lakers, after a week of working out in the steamy
environs of Klum, will meet the Seattle Supersonics at Blaisdell
Arena on Oct. 13 and 14 in a pair of pre-season games.
** Wahine Still Second **
The UH Wahine volleyball team maintained the second spot in the

** Local Small College News **
For the third consecutive week, a BYU-Hawaii volleyball player
was named Far West Independent Conference player of the week.
This week's honoree is Aletha Gomez, a 5-10 outside hitter who
earned the award for averaging 10 kills, 4.5 blocks, and 13 digs
in matches against Hawaii Pacific and Cal State-Northridge.
Seasider teammate Anik Valiengo won the award the past two
weeks.

The NAIA Top 25 Poll was also announced today and BYU-Hawaii
remained atop the rankings with a 12-1 record. Lewis-Clark St.

Ulia Fotu had 13 kills to lead the Silverswords (3-10). The Sea
Warriors, despite Solene Duvachelle's 22 kills, fell to 5-5.
** Prep Coaches Split: Pay too low **
Most of them do it for love. But love can't pay the bills as
many local high school coaches are finding out. According to
school officials, keeping successful coaches around for an
extended period of time is becoming increasingly difficult
because coaches--when hours on the job are factored in--are paid
the equivalent of minimum wage. Said Radford athletic director
Jim Alegre, himself a longtime basketball honcho for the Rams who
was forced to resign because of a new league rule prohibiting
AD's from holding coaching positions: "It's hard to maintain them
over a long period of time. Pay is not up to par with other
states. If we can keep (coaches) around for five years, that's
good." Varsity football head coaches for Hawaii's public schools
are paid $2,013 for the season. Coaches of most other varsity
sports are paid $1,543. Although exact figures are not
available, coaches at Hawaii's private schools are paid slightly
higher than their public school counterparts.

6-foot-8, 250 pound Strickland was the only rookie to work out

agent tryout with 15 other players. "He's an (Anthony) Mason
clone, except he can probably handle the ball better," said HPU
coach Tony Selitto.

** Bows Celebrate in Vegas **
Bob Wagner and his University of Hawaii football team return to
Honolulu this afternoon after taking a well-deserved one-day
vacation in Las Vegas following the Bows' 58-30 thumping of
Nevada-Las Vegas on Saturday. "There's no substitute for
winning," said Wagner amidst a throng of well-wishers at a post-
game gathering at his room in the Stardust Hotel. "We've made
some progress. It's hard to say how much. But being 2-2 is
better than being 0-4 or 1-3." The Rainbows have a bye week and
return to action on Oct. 14 for a road game against New Mexico.
Hawaii's schedule for the rest of the season is as follows:
Oct. 14--at New Mexico
Oct. 21--Central Florida

** Pigg, Laiti Win Triathlon **
Mike Pigg and Lisa Laiti won the men's and women's titles of the
first-ever Waikiki Beach Triathlon which was marred by the death
of one of athletes competing in the event. Pigg, a well-known
pro triathlete from Arcata, Calif., breezed to a two-minute win
in the triple-sport event that included a 1.5-kilometer swim, 40-
K bike ride, and 10-K run. In the wahine competition, Laiti
overtook Sian Welch in the final two miles of the run to capture
the crown. Pigg's and Laiti's triumphs were overshadowed by the
death of a 52-year-old competitor from Kaneohe, who was struck by
a tour bus near the intersection of Piikoi and Beretania Streets
while riding his bike. He died three hours later at Queen's
Medical Center.
** Vulcans Top Anchorage **

** Bows Whip Miners **
The University of Hawaii football team evened its record at 2-2
following a 58-30 shellacking of Nevada-Las Vegas last night at
Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. A crowd of 15,764, more than half
of whom were from or rooting for Hawaii, saw several Bows put
forth outstanding efforts in the triumph, including
--freshman phenom George Ornellas who rushed for 139 yards
on nine carries and caught three passes for 33 yards;
--quarterback Glenn Freitas, who passed for 103 yards and
operated Hawaii's spread option attack efficiently;
--and Punahou Aina, who had 11 tackles to lead a Bow defense
that is gradually improving with each game;
"This is like getting a royal flush," said Freitas in the
afterglow of yesterday's victory. "We're back up," said guard
Marcus Malepeai. "Everything is starting to look good again."
The Bows' next game is on Oct. 14 when they travel to Albuquerque
to face WAC foe New Mexico.

** UH Football News **
After battling to a dead heat in the first two games, Brett
Washington and Tupu Alualu will share ball carrying duties this
weekend for the University of Hawaii football team (1-2), which
plays Nevada-Las Vegas on Saturday in Las Vegas. Washington is a
6-foot, 240 pounder from Los Angeles while Alualu, a 6-foot, 221-
pounder, is a St. Louis High grad.
** Crawford Emerges **
After enduring a hot-and-cold freshman year, UH Wahine volleyball
player Therese Crawford has improved her game dramatically and is
now consistently putting down a double-digit kill total in every
match. What prompted the transformation from a freshman season
where she played spectacularly at times but terribly at others to
the current season where Crawford leads the Wahine in kills and
digs? "She's worked real hard," said UH coach Dave Shoji of the
5-foot-10, 19-year-old Michigan native. "Her technique is so
much better. She's just hit a ton of balls (over the summer) and
gotten better." Crawford and her Wahine teammates, 11-0 and
ranked second in the country, take on Cal State-Northridge (1-15)
tomorrow night at the Special Events Arena.
** Small College Wahine Volleyball **
BYU-Hawaii assured itself of the home court advantage in the
playoffs by defeating Hawaii Pacific 16-14, 15-6, 15-10 last
night at Kawaiahao Gym. Becky Laubach and Daniela Carneiro had
12 kills apiece for the Seasiders (11-1). Solene Duvachelle led
HPU (5-4) with 15 kills.
----
Ignited by Hinano Warfield's 23 kills, Chaminade topped Alaska-
Anchorage 16-14, 15-12, 15-7 last night at McCabe Gym. Melika
Schoech and Uila Fotu added 16 and 15 kills for the Silverswords
(2-9). Alaska-Anchorage fell to 6-7.
** Prep Football Beat **
It'll be No. 1 versus No. 2 when St. Louis squares off against
Punahou in the feature game of an Interscholastic League of
Honolulu tripleheader Saturday night at Aloha Stadium. Both
teams are 3-0. The Saints, on a quest for their tenth straight
ILH and Prep Bowl titles, are led by returning all-state
quarterback Darnell Arceneaux, who has passed for 645 yards and
10 touchdowns in the first three games, and speedy receivers
Kekama Akana and Eddie Kealoha. Meanwhile, the Buffanblu--the
league's top offensive producers as far as yardage (379.3 per
game) and points (35.6 per contest)--are propelled by signal-
caller Jimmy Bennett (611 yards and 8 TD passes) and receivers
Tafiti Uso and Kaeo Vasconcellos. "There are a lot of athletes
who can make the big play," said Punahou coach Dan Morrison. "It
may come down to who has the ball last."
----
In the OIA, this week's feature game will pit No. 4 Kahuku (2-0-
1) against No. 5 Farrington (2-0) Friday night at Aloha Stadium.
Ken Faavae and Isaac Aalona each average over a hundred yards a
game for the Red Raiders, the defending OIA champions. The
Governors, traditionally a running team, have taken to the
airways more often to take advantage of the throwing ability of
quarterback Corey Shippy (128 yards per game).

** Three in Juryo **
Three wrestlers from Hawaii will compete in sumo's second-highest

from Castle High), who retained his position in the 26-man juryo
division with an 8-7 record in the just-completed Autumn
tournament, will be joined by just-promoted wrestlers Sunahama
(Tyler Hopkins from Kaiser High), and Yamato (George Kalima from
Kaiser High). All three hope to join Hawaii's big-three-- grand
champion Akebono (Chad Rowan of Waimanalo), champion
Musashimaru
(Fiamalu Penitani of Waianae), and senior wrestler Konishiki
(Salevaa Atisanoe of Nanakuli)--in sumo's major leagues.

** Favoritism for Bow Gridders? **
Allegations about favoritism have been raised following the
reinstatement of four University of Hawaii football players who
were formerly on academic probation. The four--wide receiver
Brannon Kennedy, defensive lineman Morrie Roe, cornerback Charles
Towns and linebacker Shawn Harris--each missed at least one of
Rainbows' first two games because of "insufficient grade-point
averages." All have regained eligibility in the last two weeks.
When asked if any special favors were asked to secure the
players' eligibility, UH athletic director Hugh Yoshida denied
such, claiming that "they were treated like any other student.
In some situations," said Yoshida, "a student-athlete missed a
class or an assignment. Those were made up. In other situations
it was just a matter of (changing an incomplete into a
withdrawal)."
** Wahine Still No. 2 **
The UH Wahine volleyball team maintained the second spot in the
USA Today/AVCA Top 25 Poll released yesterday. Nebraska,

her Seasider teammates, ranked No. 1 in the NAIA, will face
Hawaii Pacific tonight at Kawaiahao Gym. A victory will clinch
the home court advantage in the playoffs for BYUH.

Windward Field. The Sea Warrior's next intercollegiate match is
on Oct. 14.
** Two More Bows Gone **
A day after losing one player, the UH baseball team announced
that two others will not be on the roster for the 1996 season.
The two are outfielder Bradley Klink, an academic casualty, and
pitcher/infielder Mitchell Miyoshi, who says he will go to work
after receiving his engineering degree in December. Yesterday,
UH skipper Les Murakami announced that outfield Reed Souza has
transferred to a California JC to improve his grades.
** UH Wahine Kickers Tie **
Hawaii battled Loyola-Marymount to a 1-1 tie in a women's college
soccer match yesterday in Los Angeles. Missy Moore scored the

For the second consecutive week, UH Wahine Angelica Ljungquist

foot-2 middle blocker from Sweden, Ljungquist hit .402 and had 19
blocks in Hawaii's two victories over Pacific last week.
** UH DB to Redshirt **
Acknowledged by his coaches as the UH football team's best
defensive back, Doe Henderson falls into the hard-to-replace
category this season, one which the Rainbows will need every
able-bodied player. But the Bows will have to do without the
services of Henderson, a three-year starter in the secondary,
because an aggravating back injury has forced him seek a medical
redshirt. Said Henderson, the only starter remaining from
Hawaii's 1992 WAC and Holiday Bowl championship team: "I want to
be on the field, but the pain won't allow it."

** Offshore Paddles to Record **
Propelled by following seas, favorable winds, and a strong
collection of seasoned paddlers, Offshore Canoe Club from Newport
Beach, Calif. sprinted to a record-breaking victory in the 20th
Annual Na Wahine O Ke Kai outrigger canoe race from Molokai to
Oahu. It was the fourth consecutive year Offshore has won the
race. After enduring a rough-and-tumble start that included
collisions or near-collisions between several of the 49 crews who
started yesterday's 41-mile race, Offshore raced to a lead it
would never relinquish, finishing the crossing with a time of 5
hours, 24 minutes, 32 seconds--almost 20 minutes better than the
record it set in 1990. In fact, yesterday's next six finishers--
Outrigger (5:31:09), Kailua (5:36:00), Lanakila (5:41:04), Kai
Opua (5:41:54), Lokahi (5:42:54) and Umbi Gumbi (5:43:22)--all
finished ahead of the previous record time.
** Bows Savor Win **
For the first time in two seasons, the University of Hawaii
football has won a game against a Western Athletic Conference
opponent and coaches and team members reported having the first
restful Sunday in a while. Coach Bob Wagner's wife Gloria
reported that her husband had the first good night of sleep since
the season began. For a team that had gone without a WAC victory
in 1994 and that had been drubbed in its first two games this
season, a victory is something to cherish. Said running back
Tupu Alualu: "It's good to get that ol' feeling back. We've
waited a long time to get that taste of victory in our mouths
again." The Bows hope to continue on the victory march as they
take on Nevada-Las Vegas Saturday at Las Vegas. "We'll work hard
and be ready," promised quarterback Glenn Freitas.
** Takahama Triumphs **
Former University of Hawaii golfer Mark Takahama blitzed the
field with a 11-stroke victory in the Hickam Amateur Invitational
at Mamala Bay Golf Course. Takahama's 54 hole total of 14-under
202 was a tournament record. Guy Yamamoto (213), Mike Pavao
(214), Chris Lucey (217), and Regan Lee (218) rounded out the top
five.
** Newton Kayak Victor **
Former Hawaii resident Peter Newton won two medals in the men's
singles kayak competition yesterday at the Lake Lanier Sprint
Challenge at Gainesville, Georgia. Newton, a member of the 1992
Olympic team, won the gold in yesterday's 500-meter event and the
bronze in the 1000.
** HPA's Clark Ready to Rule **
Fresh off of an international tour with the USA Select youth
team, Hawaii Prep Academy's Sarah Clark--a two-time BIIF
Volleyball Player of the Year--is looking forward to leading the
Kamakani to the state tournament later this season. Clark, an
agile and athletic 6-footer, carries a 3.9 grade point average at
HPA and is being recruited by over 50 colleges. She plans to
visit Hawaii, UCLA, UC-Santa Barbara, and Stanford.

** Bows Win!! **
Breaking a 21-21 tie with three fourth-quarter touchdowns, the
University of Hawaii football team finally notched its first
victory of the season, whipping Texas-El Paso 42-21 last night
before 32,269 fans at Aloha Stadium. Quarterback Glenn Freitas,
returning to the starting lineup after sitting out last week's
game against Wyoming because of a shoulder injury, rushed for 122
yards and scored four touchdowns in leading a Hawaii offensive
attack that netted 394 yards on the ground. Said UH offensive
coordinator Kanani Souza: "Glenn did a helluva job. He made the
correct reads, the correct audibles, just did a real nice job
executing the offense." With the win, Hawaii--who will travel to
Las Vegas to play UNLV next weekend--improved its record to 1-2
overall and 1-1 in the WAC. UTEP fell to 1-3

** Wahine Win 11th in Five **
While struggling at times, the second-ranked University of Hawaii
Wahine volleyball team kept its nerve together to defeat a
determined Pacific team 15-5, 11-15, 14-16, 15-7, 15-12 before
7,587 fans last night at the Special Events Arena. It was the
11th victory without a loss for the Wahine this season. Battling

charging Akebono (Waimanalo's Chad Rowan) and slapped him down.
Wakanohana improved to 9-5 while Akebono dropped to 12-2. In
the
preceding match, Takanohana won his 14th consecutive match of the
tournament by overpowering Musashimaru [10-4] (Fiamalu Penitani
of Waianae). Earlier, Konishiki (Nanakuli's Salevaa Atisanoe)
lost to Kotoinazuma to fall to 4-10.
** Bows versus Miners Tonight **
The UH Rainbows (0-2) look to capture their first victory of the

Athletic Conference tonight at Aloha Stadium. In a positive
development, Hawaii's best receiver Brannon Kennedy was re-
instated yesterday after making up coursework for a Spring
semester class. Kennedy sat out the Bows' first two games while
working to regain his eligibility. Also in the starting lineup
tonight will be Glenn Freitas, who is returning to action after a
shoulder injury in the season opener against Texas.

** Wahine Tame Tigers **
The University of Hawaii Wahine volleyball team gave a Special
Events Arena crowd of 4,653 much to cheer about as they blitzed a
good Pacific team 15-7, 15-6, 14-16, 15-2 last night. Rallying
from a 6-14 deficit in Game 3, the Wahine--the nation's second-
ranked team--almost swept the No. 10 Tigers. Therese Crawford
(23 kills), Angelica Ljungquist (20 kills, 8 blocks) and setter
Robyn Ah Mow (56 assists) sparked the Wahine (10-0 overall and
4-0 in the Big West). Former Kamehameha star Rebecca Downey had
19 kills for Pacific (4-3 and 0-1).
** Freitas Returns **
After sitting out last weekend's game because of a shoulder
injury, quarterback Glenn Freitas has recovered and will return
to the starting lineup Saturday night for the Rainbows' game
against Texas-El Paso. According to UH quarterback coach Michael
Carter, the coaching staff was concerned about Freitas' ability
to throw the ball effectively coming off the injury. In
practice, the former Waianae star has fared well. "He's throwing
it fine now," said Carter.
** Sumo Day 13 Results **
Yokozuna Takanohana improved to 13-0 after defeating Musoyama
(7-6) yesterday in the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo.
Takanohana is one win up on fellow grand champion Akebono [Chad
Rowan of Waimanalo] (12-1)--a victor over Musashimaru [Waianae's
Fiamalu Penitani] (10-3) yesterday. Takanohana will face
Musashimaru today and Akebono tomorrow. In another match
yesterday, Konishiki (Salevaa Atisanoe of Nanakuli) lost to
Hamanoshima (3-10) and fell to 4-9.
** Cartwright to be Feted **
A celebration in honor of Alexander Cartwright, the man who is
credited with founding baseball 150 years ago in 1845, will be
held tomorrow at the Makiki field named in his honor. A native of
New York, Cartwright organized the world's first baseball team--
the Knickerbockers--in his home state and then moved to Honolulu
where he lived for over 40 years, enjoying successful career as
an attorney and businessman.
** Vulcans Up-End Seasiders **

** Sumo Day 12 Results **
Yokozuna Takanohana seized the lead of the Autumn Grand Sumo
Tournament in Tokyo after fellow grand champion Akebono lost
yesterday. Takanohana, the winner of ten tournaments, improved
to 12-0 in his quest for an 11th title by defeating Kotonishiki
(9-3) yesterday. In the final match of the day, Akebono
(Waimanalo's Chad Rowan), seeking his ninth tournament
championship, fell to 11-1 when ozeki Takanonami (7-5) pushed him
out. Earlier, ozeki Musashimaru [Fiamalu Penitani of Waianae]
(10-2) kept his faint title hopes alive by driving out Misugisato
(4-8), and Konishiki (Salevaa Atisanoe of Nanakuli) dropped to
4-8 after dropping his match to Oginishiki (4-8).
** Wahine-UOP Meet Tonight, Tomorrow **
The University of Hawaii versus University of the Pacific match-
up, one of best rivalries in women's volleyball, will end at the
completion of this season when the Wahine terminate their
membership in the Big West Conference. In the 19 years the two
teams have competed against one another, Hawaii has won 30
matches and 4 national titles (1979, '82, '83, and '87) while
Pacific has 23 and 2 (1985 and '86). The tenth-ranked Tigers are
in town for matches tonight and tomorrow at the Special Events
Arena against the second-ranked Wahine.
** Tornado Alert for Bows **
If the UH football team (0-2) is going to win its first football
game of the season this Saturday against Texas-El Paso (1-2), one
of the players it must stifle is Toraino "The Texas Tornado"
Singleton. The 6-foot-3, 243 pound Singleton, the Western
Athletic Conference rushing leader with 426 yards in three games,
"can do some damage," says UH defensive coordinator George
Lumpkin. Apparently, Singleton can do damage on more than just
the football field, for he must go to trial in February to face
charges that he assaulted two men in a bar fight. Taking an
innocent-until-proven-guilty approach, UTEP officials have
allowed Singleton to remain on the team.
** Prep Football Beat **
The St. Louis Crusaders (2-0), ranked No. 1 in the state and No.
23 in USA Today Prep football poll, will meet Kamehameha (2-0)
Friday night at Aloha Stadium in the feature high school grid
matchup this weekend. Coach Cal Lee's Saints, the owners of a
21-game winning streak, are led by returning all-state
quarterback Darnell Arceneaux (389 passing yards and 6 TD passes)
and slotback Kekama Akana, who scored four touchdowns last week
against Damien. The Warriors, coached by Blane Gaison, look to
slotback Dylan Ching--the grandson of former pro wrestler Lord
"Tallyho" Blears--for offensive firepower. Ching, a 5-9, 175-
pound senior, had 174 all-purpose yards against Iolani last week
and returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in a pre-season
game against Farrington.
** Sports Shorts **
The UH Wahine cross country team will host its only home meet of
the season this Saturday at the Kaneohe Clipper Course. In
addition to the Wahine, other teams competing will be Cal State-
Sacramento, Southern California College, State University College
of New York, and San Francisco.

The Hawaii Pacific women's volleyball team defeated an alumnae
squad 15-12, 15-9, 14-16, 2-15, 15-8 in an exhibition match last
night at Kawaiahao Gym. Shawn Dutro pounded 20 kills for the Sea
Warriors while Alicia Nobriga had 15 kills to lead the Alums.

** Bows Need Miner Miracle **
With their backs against the proverbial wall, the University of
Hawaii football team decided it was in need of a philosophical
about-face. "We're going to play hard every down. Ain't no
f***ing around anymore," said linebacker Jeff Bredy, who summed
up the change in attitude he and his teammates say they will
embrace for the remainder of this season. The Bows--after being
whipped in their first two games--will take on Texas-El Paso on
Saturday night at Aloha Stadium in what coaches, players, and
fans are calling a must-win game. Said offensive lineman Marcus
Malepeai: "If we don't win now, when are we going to win? We
have to go out and play like it's our last game and win now."
** Sumo Day 11 Results **
The deadlock between grand champions Akebono and Takanohana
remains unbroken after 11 days in the Autumn Grand Sumo
Tournament in Tokyo as both rikishi notched hard-fought victories
yesterday. Akebono (Waimanalo's Chad Rowan) exchanged fierce
arm
thrusts with Kaio (7-4) before grabbing his foe and shoving him
out. Takanohana absorbed the bulldozer tactic of Tosanoumi (8-3)
and after an aggressive struggle threw him to the ground. In
other matches involving wrestlers from Hawaii, Musashimaru
(Fiamalu Penitani of Waianae) improved to 9-2 by routing fellow
ozeki Takanonami (6-5), and Konishiki (Nanakuli's Salevaa
Atisanoe) is 4-7 after defeating Higonoumi (2-9).
** Ah Mow Leads Wahine **
While the hitters often get the most notoriety, UH volleyball
coach Dave Shoji knows who ultimately has the most impact on his
team's success: his setter. And he has a good one this season--
Robyn Ah Mow. According to UH volleyball coach Dave Shoji, Ah Mow
belongs in the same company as former Wahine All-American setters
Nahaku Brown, Cheri Boyer, Martina Cincerova, and Joyce Ka'apuni.
Said Shoji of the McKinley High grad: "She's very explosive. She
just doesn't look like it because she does it so easily.
Graceful is a good word for her. She goes for the ball and
doesn't look like she's moving, but she gets to the ball like
nobody we've ever had." Ah Mow and her Wahine teammates will
take their No. 2 national ranking into this Thursday and Friday's
matches against No. 10 Pacific at the Special Events Arena.
----
The Wahine lead the nation in attendance, averaging 3,701 fans
for their first seven home matches. Florida is second with a
3,080 per match average.

Also eliminated were two wahine golfers. Keiki-Dawn Izumi and
Lani Batey missed the cut in the 9th U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur
Championship in Manchester, Mass.
** Swords Lose **
The Chaminade Wahine volleyball team fell to 1-9 overall and 0-3
in the Pacific West Conference after losing to Western New Mexico
15-11, 15-9, 9-15, 15-13 yesterday at Silver City, N.M. Hinano
Warfield had 15 kills for the Silverswords.
** Jube POW **
Hawaii Pacific soccer player Cezar Jube was named the Far West
Independent Conference Player of the Week. A freshman from
Brazil, Jube has five goals and 1 assist in leading the Sea
Warriors to a 5-0-1 record.

** UH Defense Worst **
The weekly NCAA football statistics were released yesterday and
of the 108 Division 1A Schools, the University of Hawaii was
ranked last in team defense. In their first two games, the Bows
have been steamrolled for 1,115 total yards for a per-game
average of 557.5 yards. The Bows are ranked second from the
worst in scoring defense, giving up an average of 45 points per
game. Said UH defensive coordinator George Lumpkin: "I could do
a better job as a coach and the players have to do a better job
of being responsible (for carrying out their assignments)." The
Rainbows will meet Texas-El Paso Saturday night at Aloha Stadium.
** Wahine Home **
After a successful 3-0 mainland road trip, the second-ranked UH
Wahine volleyball team (9-0) has returned home and will meet No.
10 Pacific (4-2) Thursday and Friday at the Special Events Arena.
All-American middle blocker Angelica Ljungquist was named the Big
West Player of the Week for her outstanding play (.440 hitting
percentage and 20 blocks) on the road swing.
** Sumo Day 10 Results **
After ten days of competition in the Autumn Grand Sumo
Tournament
in Tokyo, grand champions Akebono and Takanohana remain
deadlocked with unblemished 10-0 records. Akebono (Waimanalo's
Chad Rowan), using piston-like thrusts, met the charge of
Hamanoshima (1-9) and easily knocked him out. In the preceding
match, Takanohana locked up Ashiyutaka (5-5) and hoisted his foe
out. Earlier, Musashimaru (Fiamalu Penitani of Waianae) improved
to 8-2 by defeating Takatoriki (5-5) while Konishiki (Nanakuli's
Salevaa Atisanoe) fell to 3-7 after losing to Mainoumi (5-5).
