OLYMPIC ALBUM: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE SUBLIME
relay (she had not run a 400-meter race since 1987) only 40 minutes after she’s been a part of the gold-medal winning U.S. team in the 4×100-meter relay. * This is Alexander Gomelsky, the grandfatherly coach of the Soviet Union’s gold-medal winning men’s basketball team. This is a close-up when he’s being asked by a U.S. journalist to respond to assertions by [John Thompson] that the Portland Trail Blazers (by helping Arvidas Sabonis rehabilitate his injured Achilles tendon) and the Atlanta Hawks (by playing a springtime series in the Soviet Union against the Russian national team) had hurt the U.S. coach, but he is not foreign minister of U.S. In my country, people glad that relations improving between us and America. Not only in basketball. Also in politics. I know little of politics, but in my country and also in U.S. people like to sleep at nights. Perhaps John Thompson not understand this.”

OC financier’s Achilles’ tendons are slashed in attack on couple
Two men slashed the Achilles’ tendons of well-known mortgage financier Roger Luby on Monday after tying up and beating both him and his companion, Aissa Wayne, at Luby’s home. The attackers followed Luby and Wayne inside the electronically gated grounds as they entered the garage in Luby’s black, four-door Lincoln, [Mike Jackson] said. “Roger is a super friend,” [Henry Grumm Sr.] said. “We were supposed to have a Monday night football party at his house tonight. Everybody loves Roger and he loves everybody. He knows a million people here but didn’t have an enemy in the world.”

Muscle a factor in meat tenderness
Meat is muscle. Muscles are really small bundles of muscle fibres held together by connective tissues. Whole muscles are attached to bones by tendons or by direct contact with the bone. Consequently, small muscle ends have a heavy concentration of tough tendon and connective tissues. The larger muscle centres are more tender because these tough tissues are more diffused throughout the meat. The sirloin tip is a conical-shaped muscle from the front of the hind leg. It lies beside the medium tender round. Off next to its larger end is the tender sirloin butt (top sirloin). At its smaller end is the tough shank.

Patience May Finally Pay Off for 49ers’ Wilson
[Mike Wilson] had two preseason injuries – a strained hamstring and sore left Achilles’ tendon – and [Bill Walsh] told reporters he was “very disappointed” after Wilson dropped a pass during the third exhibition game. Meanwhile, [Wes Chandler]‘s performance steadily improved, and he was awarded the starting job. Wilson didn’t let that affect him on the practice field. “He came out every day, and he was the same guy, even though Wes Chandler was the starter,” [Jerry Rice] said. “I guess Mike felt if he gets the opportunity to show what he can do, he’ll get the starting job back.” After Chandler retired Friday, Wilson’s six receptions as a starter helped negate Detroit’s 46 defense, which put so much pressure on quarterback Joe Montana that he often audibled to quick passes. Since Rice was usually double-covered, Wilson became the primary target, and his most important contribution was a 20-yard, third-down catch that helped the 49ers run out the clock.

BROSNAHAN’S BACK, BUT ARGO’S STILL NO. 1 FOR TRIBE
That’s the word from Tribe coach Jimmye Laycock, who very much likes what he’s seen in W&M’s past three games — all wins — from Argo, who took over when [John Brosnahan] cut a tendon in his hand during W&M’s opener at Virginia. For the first time since his injury, Brosnahan participated full-time in practice Monday. Wet conditions prohibited Laycock from judging how well Brosnahan, the starter last season, has recovered from the injury. Laycock indicated he would probably make a choice between the two after today’s practice. One result of Argo’s performance will be another scholarship year for the 6-0, 180-pounder from Athens, Ga. The senior was red-shirted earlier in his collegiate career and Laycock said yesterday that Argo, primarily because of the past month, will be invited back next season. Brosnahan is in his final season of eligibility.

Wayne’s daughter is beaten; her companion’s legs slashed
The gunmen bound their hands and feet and struck Wayne and [Roger Luby] in the face, [Greg Armstrong] said. Luby’s legs were slashed and his Achilles tendons partly severed. Pilar Wayne, [Aissa Wayne]‘s mother, said both victims were going through divorces and that Luby “has all these lawsuits against him.” Luby, a financier, is reportedly involved in litigation regarding the purchase of a building in downtown Los Angeles. Wayne is seeking a divorce from her husband, Thomas A. Gionis, an orthopedic surgeon, and Luby is going through a divorce with his wife.

Aissa Wayne’s Court Papers Allege Threats by Husband
[Thomas A. Gionis], 34, an orthopedic surgeon from Pomona, denied the allegations of abuse in court documents and accused Wayne, instead, of concocting the charges. Wayne was awarded custody of the child after their June 4, 1987, separation. The couple, legally separated last year, are still going through divorce and custody proceedings. Wayne and [Roger W. Luby] were bound hand and foot and pistol-whipped Monday morning after returning from jogging to Luby’s $3-million, electronically gated estate in Newport Beach. The two gunmen-still at large Wednesday-asked for Luby by name, and then tried to sever one of his tendons, police said. Wayne said afterward that the men threatened: “You’re messing with the wrong guy. Next time, we’ll kill you.” Both Wayne and Luby were treated and released at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach. The charges and counter-charges were presented to an Orange County Superior Court commissioner who decided last year to award custody of the couple’s daughter to Wayne. The court allowed Gionis to visit his child, and no order was signed barring contact with Wayne.

Stemmle hopes to build on experience
[BRIAN STEMMLE Delayed], a muscular 5-foot-9, is dressed casually in sweats and is relaxing on a couch in his parents’ home. Nestled among pines and maples on a winding, picturesque street, the bungalow is modest compared with the mansions just down the road. Its serenity presents a disconcerting image of Stemmle, more familiar as a blaze of yellow on a European mountain, his skis clattering angrily over the hard-packed snow. After [Frank Steadman] sewed the ligament and inserted a tendon from the side of Stemmle’s leg for extra bonding, Stemmle supervised his own therapy program comprising mostly flexing the knee against the resistance of a stretch cord. “Podborski hurt his knee and came back to ski as well, even better than before,” [Glenn Wurtele] said. “Even with his knee injured, Brian was the only guy skiing with (Pirmin) Zurbriggen on the top of that course at the Olympics.

Clippers Eager Nixon Returns for New Start
“There’s no question,” Norm Nixon said Friday afternoon, as the Clippers opened training camp at Cal Poly Pomona. “If you polled everyone, 99% of them would say that. Only 1% would not say it. But those are the 1% who know me.” Nixon, who last played during the 1985-86 season, is back in Clipper camp, taking on doubters and rookie Gary Grant for the starting point guard spot. The short-term goal is to just make it to the regular season, a seemingly simple accomplishment he was unable to reach in 1986-87 (knee injury while playing softball) and 1987-88 (Achilles’ tendon injury during practice). “I take it like this: Norm is a veteran and I have a lot to learn from him,” said Grant, the Big Ten player of the year and a consensus All-American last season at Michigan. “. . . When I was younger, I heard a lot about him and I saw his fade-away jump shot. It’s like a dream come true coming and playing with a guy like him.

Wales Conference Seeks End to Oilers’ Dynasty
All four of the only non-Edmonton Stanley Cup winners in 20 years are in the Wales Conference. Since the chain of dominance by Montreal (1968-69, 71, 73, 76-79), Boston (1970, 72), Philadelphia (1974-75) and the Islanders (1980-83), the Cup has returned from Edmonton only once; to – where else? – Montreal in 1986. The specialty teams last season told Montreal’s story as the penalty-killers finished third in the NHL and the power play 20th. Quiet in the off-season, the Canadiens have yet to solve the scoring punch problem. No. 1 1987 draft pick Andrew Cassels is out of the lineup with a sprained left knee but is expected to be ready for the start of the season Oct. 6 and is the only accomplished goal scorer among the rookies who could still make the team. The Rangers’ biggest strength became a question over the summer when 1986 Vezina Trophy-winning goalie John Vanbiesbrouck severed the tendons in his glove wrist when he fell through a glass table. The revamped defense features James Patrick at the height of his career, U.S. Olympian Brian Leetch at the start of his and newly acquired Normand Rochefort. The steady Rochefort is underrated but came at the cost of 38-goal scorer [Walt Poddubny] and it is doubtful a 37-year-old will make up that slack – even if he is in the Hall of Fame. The Rangers have signed Guy Lafleur to a one-year contract.

What’s the Big Idea?/ Local inventors put brainstorms to work
An average of 50 Colorado residents receive patents each month. Some local inventors – like Ivan Engleman and Thomas Kozisek, two Colorado Springs Utilities substation electricians who have a patent pending on a voltage regulator – are mechanically inclined engineers. A non-refundable filing fee of $170 for individual inventors and $340 for corporate inventors must accompany the applications, he says. If the patent is issued, there will be a patent-issue fee of $280 (individual) or $560 (corporate), as well as maintenance fees to keep the patent in effect after 3 1/2, 7 1/2 and 11 1/2 years.

Buffs don’t understand quick hook
Oklahoma State cornerback Melvin Gilliam picked off [Sal Aunese]‘s third-quarter pass intended for Jeff Campbell. Gilliam returned the ball 17 yards to the CU 28, and CU tailback Eric Bieniemy was whistled for a late hit, giving OSU the ball at the 14. That set up a field goal for a 34-14 Cowboy advantage that turned into a 41-21 OSU victory. BUFFALO CHIPS: CU injuries were minor: offensive left guard Joe Garten (strained left Achilles’ tendon) and free safety Bruce Young (re-aggravated a groin strain). . . . With four more rushing touchdowns Saturday, [Barry Sanders] already has 15 rushing scores this season in four games. The NCAA Division I-A single-season record is 29 set by Nebraska’s Mike Rozier during his 1983 Heisman Trophy season. . . . CU has allowed 40 or more points only twice in the past four seasons (spanning 40 games). OSU has accomplished it both times, beating CU, 42-17, last year. In both games, CU committed six turnovers. . . . CU was seeking its first entry into The Associated Press Top Twenty since October 1978. Back then, CU was ranked 13th with a 5-0 mark, but the Cowboys then stung the Buffs, 24-20. . . . CU punter Keith English, ranked second nationally with a 47.9-yard average, kicked five times for a 48.2 average. His best was a 68-yarder that was downed at the OSU 3.

Injuries keep Jeff Wilson from realizing his quest
[Jeff Wilson] would have been the best football player at the school, Coach Eric Patton has said. An auto accident in August prevented that. It left the 6-0, 185-pound senior with a rib for a left cheekbone. It also left him with a sliced Achilles’ tendon. A thin, 5-inch scar on the left side of his face and 21/2 missing teeth — among other reminders of Aug. 10 — wouldn’t be noticeable under a football uniform. Patton said it is frustrating to see Wilson walking around campus, sometimes even jogging, and knowing he can’t play, especially this week against Mission Viejo, Orange County’s No. 1-ranked team. Doctors won’t let Wilson play. A strong hit on the head could damage his reconstructed cheek, which holds Wilson’s left eyeball in place. His left Achilles’ tendon, sliced but not severed near the heal, also could suffer further damage if overly taxed.

COWBOYS JUST A SHADOW OF FORMER SELVES
Tony Dorsett is gone. Randy White and Danny White still are around, but they don’t play much. Doug Cosbie plays only when his Achilles tendon allows. Ed “Too Tall” Jones still is a factor on defense. Trouble is, he might be the only factor. The fans, for the most part, have disappeared, too. During the glory years, the only way to get Cowboy tickets was through a will. Now on certain game days, Texas Stadium is a sea of empty seats. Sunday, the sad scoreboard message read: “Cowboys’ next home game against Phoenix Cardinals Oct. 30. Good seats available.” If the Cowboys lose this Sunday to the Bears, they will fall to 2-5. Dallas hasn’t been that bad since 1965, when Tom Landry still was considered a young coach.

Area Stars Help Fuel Va. Union; CIAA Power Has A D.C. Connection
Four years ago at this time, Kevin Brown, Ken Jones, Ramon Hounshell and Kevin McGregor were earning accolades as some of the District’s best high school football players. Today, they form the nucleus of a top Division II college program at Virginia Union in Richmond. Hounshell, a graduate of Anacostia, is the other co-captain and starting at cornerback for the third straight year. Though he was injured for most of the Panthers’ 1987 season, Hounshell is healthy this year. Despite problems with his right Achilles’ tendon, he did manage to record 10 interceptions and 64 tackles the past two seasons. That scenario occurred with McGregor, whose coach at [Woodson], Bob Headen, also was [Joe Taylor]‘s coach at Cardozo. Headen introduced McGregor to Taylor, who was just leaving [Howard] at the time. Jones, who was two years older than McGregor at Woodson, also was then at Howard, and decided to transfer to Virginia Union when Taylor went there.

Nixon Has a Leg Up With Surgery
Everyone knew that wasn’t true because [Nixon] couldn’t practice regularly without feeling pain in his right leg. But no one could explain what caused it, which often put him in a gloomy mood until doctors figured out that he had a rare hamstring tendon injury. After surgery and extensive rehabilitation, Nixon may be activated this week for the Rams game. Nixon’s problem was a deteriorating tendon that connected the hamstring to the back of his knee. Nixon said the injury may have resulted from pulling a muscle behind the knee cap during minicamp. He kept working out to prepare for training camp, and thereby he may have put a lot of stress on the tendon. The other theory is that all the running and backpedaling at Nixon’s cornerback position deteriorated the tendon.
