"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.

Jenny Wilton contributed 12 kills, 19 digs and 5 blocks to lead the Wahine. Angelica Ljungquist added 11 kills and 7 blocks. ---- 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 returned to defend their titles in today's Ironman Triathlon that begins and ends in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. Both are vying for the $20,000 prize awarded to the top men's and women's finishers.

This report and a small archive of past reports are available via World Wide Web at this URL: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~turner/sports/hsports.html ** 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 ** The Hawaii Pacific men's basketball team is ranked eighth in the NAIA Division I preseason poll released today. HPU, 25-9 last season, returns eight players. BYU-Hawaii is tied for 27th in the poll. ** Wahine Kickers Host Tourney ** The UH Wahine soccer team will host the Discover's Day Shootout tournament today and tomorrow at Ala Wai Field.

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 over the 2-mile course in 13 minutes, 24 seconds. Kau's Casey McGuire-Turcotte, the 1994 Hawaii high school state champion, finished second in 14:04. ---- In the Kamehameha Invitational this past weekend, 1994 boys' cross country state champ Matt Stevens continued his unbeaten string by striding to victory in 16:27 over the 3-mile course.

Angela Rosa 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.

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 USA Today/AVCA Top 25 Poll released yesterday. In addition to being second nationally, the Wahine share the Big West Conference lead with Santa Barbara, both of whom have 5-0 league marks. After sweeping two matches from Pacific last weekend at home, Hawaii returns to action tonight with a road game against San Jose State. Then, the Wahine travel to New Mexico to face New Mexico State on Friday and Saturday. == USA Today/AVCA Women's Volleyball Top 10 == PTS Record 1. Nebraska (43) 1,428 12-1 2. Hawaii (10) 1,393 12-0 3. Florida (5) 1,350 14-0 4. Stanford 1,271 10-2 5. Penn State 1,203 14-1 6. UCLA 1,108 8-3 7. Washington St. 1,070 13-0 8. Michigan St. 1,059 15-1 9. Long Beach St. 1,010 9-2 10. Notre Dame 943 13-1 ** 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. (18-0), St. Mary's [Texas] (16-1), Fresno Pacific (18-1) and Puget Sound (9-0) round out the top five. ---- UH-Hilo (14-3) is ranked fourth in the AVCA Division II Coaches Poll.

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. ** Oahu Surf Report ** North shore: 1 to 3 feet South shore: 1 to 2 feet Aloha sports fans, --DKT

Freitas, a junior and a former Waianae High star, scored four touchdowns and passed for another. Averaging 16 points per game, he is tied for first in the NCAA per-game scoring category. ** Strickland Gets Shot ** Former Hawaii Pacific All-American John Strickland has been invited to the preseason camp of the NBA's New York Knicks. The 6-foot-8, 250 pound Strickland was the only rookie to work out with the Knick veterans last Friday following a four-day free 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. ** Prep Football Beat ** The Honolulu Advertiser Hawaii High School Football Top 10, calculated via a poll of high school coaches and sports media, was announced today.

The Buffanblu, who ended the Crusaders' 22-game winning streak last weekend, are ranked No. 23 in the nation. Punahou can clinch the ILH first-round title with a victory over Kamehameha on Saturday. A Warrior triumph coupled with a St. Louis win over Pac-Five would create a three-way tie in the ILH. ---- == Games this week (records in parentheses if available) == == Friday 10/6 == Kahuku (3-0) at Leilehua (1-3) Waianae (1-1-1) vs Waipahu (1-2) at Aloha Stadium Kalaheo (1-2) vs Farrington (2-1) at Aloha Stadium Aiea (3-0) at Pearl City (2-1) McKinley (1-2) at Roosevelt (2-1) Nanakuli (0-4) at Kaiser (0-4) Radford (3-0) at Moanalua (2-1) Kalani (0-3) at Mililani (2-1) Kaimuki (2-2) at Castle (2-2) == Saturday 10/7 == St. Louis (3-1) vs Pac-Five (2-2) at Aloha Stadium Iolani (0-4) vs Damien (0-4) at Aloha Stadium Kamehameha (3-1) vs Punahou (4-0) at Aloha Stadium ++ Outer Island schedule and records not available ** Prep Volleyball ** Kaiser and Kailua, both 3-0, will meet tomorrow in an OIA girls' volleyball match.

This report and a small archive of past reports are available via World Wide Web at this URL: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~turner/sports/hsports.html ** 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 Oct. 28--at Brigham Young Nov. 4--Fresno State Nov. 11--at Colorado State Nov. 18--San Diego State Nov. 25--Air Force Dec. 2--Oklahoma State ** 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.

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 ** Rhondda Pheloung pounded 18 kills and Tanya Fuamatu ripped 13 more to lead UH-Hilo to 15-7, 15-7, 15-9 triumph over Alaska- Anchorage in a Pacific West Conference women's volleyball match last night at the UHH Gym.

The Bows' next game is on Oct. 14 when they travel to Albuquerque to face WAC foe New Mexico. ** Prep Football Roundup ** Punahou 21, St. Louis 13: The Buffanblu broke a 7-all halftime deadlock with two second half touchdowns to upset the Saints before an Aloha Stadium crowd of 14,357 last night. Afa Thompson rushed for 108 yards and Jimmy Bennett passed for 127 more for the Puns (4-0).

Therese Crawford and Angelica Ljungquist had 10 kills apiece for the second-ranked Wahine (12-0). Northridge fell to 1-16. The two teams meet again tonight. ** Bows Face Rebels Today ** The UH football team (1-2) will square off against Nevada-Las Vegas (1-3) today at 4:07 HST at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. The Rebels are a young team, with half of their 85 scholarship players being either freshmen or sophomores. "We're trying to build something here," said UNLV coach Jeff Horton. The Rainbows also look to continue to build-up their once-shattered confidence with a second-straight victory. ** Prep Football Beat ** Kahuku 50, Farrington 19: At Aloha Stadium, the Red Raiders scored 22 points in the second quarter to blitz the Governors in a Red Division battle last night. Ken Faavae rushed for 139 yards on 11 carries for Kahuku while Corey Shippy passed for 262 yards for the Govs. ---- Campbell 17, Waianae 10: At Aloha Stadium, using a stout defensive effort, the Sabers notched their first-ever triumph over Waianae. Leatapo Kaleopa's 21-yard scamper for a touchdown on a draw play in the third quarter proved to be the game-winner for Campbell. ---- Waipahu 21, Leilehua 6: At Waipahu, the Marauders made their homecoming a happy one as they topped the Mules.

The following is a summary of the 9/28/95 Hawaii Sports News compiled from a variety of sources. Please e-mail me (turner@hawaii.edu) if you have any comments, suggestions, or both. This report and a small archive of past reports are available via World Wide Web at this URL: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~turner/sports/hsports.html ** 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). ---- == BIIF Games this week == -- Friday -- Hawaii Prep vs Waiakea at Wong Stadium Honokaa at Ka'u -- Saturday -- Kohala vs Pahoa at Wong Stadium Konawaena vs Hilo at Wong Stadium == KIF Games this week == -- Friday -- Kapaa vs Kauai at Vidinha Stadium == MIL Games this week == No games scheduled because of the Maui Fair. ** Three in Juryo ** Three wrestlers from Hawaii will compete in sumo's second-highest division in the Kyushu Basho in November. Daiki (Percy Kipapa 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. ** Oahu Surf Report ** North shore: 2 to 4 feet South shore: 1 to 3 feet Aloha sports fans, --DKT

This report and a small archive of past reports are available via World Wide Web at this URL: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~turner/sports/hsports.html ** 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, sparked by freshman sensation Fiona Nepo from University High, is the No. 1 team in the country. The top ten, with first place votes in parentheses, are as follows: == USA Today/AVCA Women's Volleyball Top 10 == PTS Record 1. Nebraska (43) 1,428 10-1 2. Hawaii (12) 1,395 11-0 3.

Notre Dame 958 10-1 ** Local Small College News ** BYU-Hawaii setter Anik Valiengo was named the NAIA Far West Independent Conference Player of the Week. In addition to 78 assists, the senior from Brazil had 35 digs and 17 kills in a pair of matches against rival UH-Hilo last week. Valiengo and 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. ---- Alaska-Anchorage (6-6) is in town and will meet Chaminade (1-9) tonight and tomorrow. The Seawolves then fly to Hilo to meet UH- Hilo (12-3) for matches on Saturday and Sunday. ---- The UH-Hilo men's and women's cross country teams both fared well in the Hawaii Invitational meet this past weekend at the Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course. The Vulcan men place first in their division and the women finished second in theirs. ---- The Hawaii Pacific men's soccer team (5-0-1) will meet Vaiete, a local club team, in an exhibition match on Saturday at HPU's 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 lone goal for the Wahine (1-5-2), who play UC-Irvine today. ** Oahu Surf Report ** North shore: 1 to 3 feet South shore: 1 to 3 feet Aloha sports fans, --DKT

A 6- 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." ** Prep Football Beat ** The Honolulu Advertiser Hawaii High School Football Top 10, calculated via a poll of high school coaches and sports media, was announced today.

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.

She plans to visit Hawaii, UCLA, UC-Santa Barbara, and Stanford. ** Oahu Surf Report ** North shore: 1 to 3 feet South shore: 1 to 3 feet Aloha sports fans, --DKT

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 ** Sumo Tournament Final Results ** In the battle of the yokozunas, Takanohana put an exclamation point on his Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament championship by forcing out Akebono on the final day.

In other matches involving wrestlers from Hawaii, ozeki Musashimaru (Waianae's Fiamalu Penitani) ended the tourney with a 10-5 mark after losing to Takanohana's brother Wakanohana (10-5), and Konishiki (Salevaa Atisanoe of Nanakuli) improved to 5-10 after topping Kotonowaka (4-11). ** Wahine College Soccer ** The UH Wahine battled Utah to a 3-3 tie in a women's college soccer match yesterday at Los Angeles, Calif.

Kamehameha grad Rebecca Downey led the No. 10 Tigers (4-4) with 19 kills. ** Title to Takanohana ** Grand champion Takanohana clinched his third consecutive title and 11th overall with the help of his older brother Wakanohana, who upset yokozuna Akebono yesterday in the Autumn Grand Sumo Tourney in Tokyo. Wakanohana, an ozeki (champion), sidestepped a 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 season when they take on Texas-El Paso (1-2) in a Western 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. ** Prep Football Round-up ** Saint Louis 34, Kamehameha 7: Darnell Arceneaux passed for 256 yards and four touchdowns as the top-ranked Saints bombarded No. 4 Kamehameha before 7,030 fans last night at Aloha Stadium. ---- Pac-Five 21, Damien 0: At Aloha Stadium, Todd Jinbo scored twice to lead the Wolfpack (1-2) to its first win of the season.

This report and a small archive of past reports are available via World Wide Web at this URL: http://www.hawaii.edu/~turner/sports/hsports.html ** 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 ** With Tanya Fuamatu slamming 20 kills and Rhondda Pheloung adding 15 more, UH-Hilo upset BYU-Hawaii 16-14, 7-15, 15-5, 4-15, 15-9 in a women's small college volleyball match last night at the UH- Hilo Gym.

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. ** Oahu Surf Report ** North shore: 3 to 6 feet South shore: 1 to 3 feet Aloha sports fans, --DKT

This report and a small archive of past reports are available via World Wide Web at this URL: http://www.hawaii.edu/~turner/sports/hsports.html ** 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. ** Golf Shorts ** Hawaii golfer Damien Jamila was eliminated after losing 4 and 2 to James Taylor of Wisconsin in the third round of the 15th U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship at Owings Mills, Md. ---- 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. ** Oahu Surf Report ** North shore: 1 to 3 feet South shore: 1 to 2 feet Aloha sports fans, --DKT

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). ** Prep Football Beat ** The Honolulu Advertiser Hawaii High School Football Top 10, calculated via a poll of high school coaches and sports media, was announced today.

Said Sea Warrior coach Robert Smock: "Eight teams make it to the regional. I feel like if we get two more wins or one win and one tie, we'll make it." HPU has five games left in the regular season, all on the road. ---- BYU-Hawaii (9-0) remained No. 1 in the NAIA Top 25 Women's Volleyball Poll released yesterday. The Seasiders fly to the Big Island for matches Thursday and Friday night against UH-Hilo (10-2), the seventh-ranked team in NCAA Division II. ---- Western New Mexico defeated Chaminade 15-13, 15-13, 3-15, 10-15, 15-13 in a women's volleyball match yesterday at Silver City, N.M. The Silverswords dropped to 1-8 overall and 0-2 in the Pacific West Conference. WNM improved to 5-9 and 1-8. ** Homegrown Report (courtesy of Dennis Anderson) ** Bruce Assily, 1994 first-team all-state linebacker for St. Louis, became the first true freshman to start at defensive end for Linfield College (Ore.) in more than a decade, but in the first half of his first game, Assily suffered a third-degree sprain of his right ankle and is out a minimum of three weeks. Linfield (1-0), ranked No. 1 in NAIA Division II, has 10 players from Hawaii, including two other starters: seniors Amancio Agcoili--wide receiver from Damien--and Derwin Planesi-- offensive tackle/guard from Maui High. ** Oahu Surf Report ** North shore: 1 to 3 feet South shore: 1 to 3 feet Aloha sports fans, --DKT
