The Record of Hackensack (New Jersey) reported in today's editions that Deborah Belinda Taylor filed the divorce papers Wednesday in Superior Court in HacTcensack. She said Taylor once appeared at a family function with another woman and on another occasion showed up at the hospital drunk and made a scene when she was in labor with their third child. The divorce complaint said Taylor's much publicized cocaine problem was a problem earlier in the marriage but that he has stayed away from drugs. "There has been no drug problem since he straightened out his act a year ago," said Mrs. Taylor's attorney, Michael K. Diamond of Wayne. 3-- A 4--A meters to Alder steadily decreased the gap between them. Just before the tape Rhoads began staggering and appeared to be in trouble. Alder passed him to claim the title.

That, Alder said, was more important than his individual crown. "I wanted the team win before the individual win," Alder said. "But, around the lake I saw him slow down a little bit. When he started slowing down, I figured I've got to go anyway." But, Alder said, he thought he had made his move too late until the end. 3.0-mi- le : girls' race with just of the boy's go.

Fueled by the frustration BYU has defeated Hawaii 10 consecutive times, Rainbow fans want a Cougar hyde nailed to the palms.

Delta's Lance Greener placed 19th. versus Hawaii an opponent is dead. If they fall behind and deflate, they are somebody's scrumptious bait. The big difference this past season in Hawaii's football team is the execution of the offense installed by offensive coordinator Paul Johnson. Johnson came to Hawaii three years ago from Georgia Southern where his directed the Eagles to the national Division I AA championship title. There, his adaptation of the run and shoot led the nation in rushing, total yards and points per game. When Johnson first came to Hawaii he tried to install too much of his Eagle offense and the 'Bows responded with erratic play. The past season and a half, Johnson has simplified the offense and worked on execution. The offense features an option running attack similar to the wishbone and features the punishing first option to the fullback, a freshman 0, 223 pound Jamal Farmer. If quarterback Garrett Gabriel doesn't give the ball to Farmer, he options down the line and either keeps it himself or pitches to Lamar Young or in some alignments, the Rainbows vacate the backfield, using everybody as receivers or line up only one back and four receivers. They also go with two wide receivers and two slot backs and one set back. The receivers start quick and get ahead SPORTS these fans are dedicated to getting every last morsel out of their Saturday evening game. And no team, repeat, there exists no team, these fans would rather watch their Warriors play than rs school. of bodies converge for the pregame ritual in the parking lot. Rainbow fans gather here early Saturday afternoon and begin a long and colorful vigil. Smoke from hibachi and portable barbeque sets hover in the air. The most popular menu is pork ribs. They sizzle on atop the grills and the aroma may waft in the Pacific breeze but it never disappears. Families and friends converge on Aloha Stadium for this ritual which serves as an emotional launching pad, juicing and priming the island faithful for that traditional part of Americana they savor better than most. It is more than an event. It is a happening. It's like being in the middle of a party and having evthe erything work for you friends, the jokes, the food and the all orchestrated into an music anticipation, the close cousin of 30 points. Timpview finished in the runner-u- p position with 115. Orem was fifth in 139 and Provo was seventh with with 163. Orem's Julie Sorenson finished fifth (18:41.1) to give Utah Valley six in the top 10. The victory was Mountain View's sixth straight at state.

All the big meets we've run in points while Mountain View had 92 to take second. Viewmont was third with 93. American Fork placed eighth with 203 and Orem was 11th with 250. Mountain View's second-plac- e finish was in part the result of Kirt Seale's refusal to quit. Seale ran out of energy about 40 meters short of the finish and fell. He got up, but fell again. Still, Seale got up and struggled on although numerous runners passed him. He finally finished 39th overall. That finish wasn't sealed, however, until his coach showed meet officials videotape of four runners passing him after the race was over. After watching the tape, officials moved Seale up. That moved the Bruins from third to second. Timpview's win was its fourth won straight. The titles in 1986, 1987 and 1988.

When Hawaii hosts BYU it is an 4-- A 4-- A in the Western Athletic Conference. They are loud, they are emotional, they raise the level of play by their home team and they have an awful good time doing it. The secondary factor in all of this is the effect it has on players on the field. Hawaii has won all five games at Aloha Stadium this season and in doing so have scored more than 60 points three times. This crowd, this atmosphere, tliis emotion raises the performance level of Hawaii football players. Off the Island, they are an ordinary team. The only two Hawaii losses came on road trips to Wyoming and Colorado State. This emotion does two things. (1) It makes the Rainbow Warriors a very dangerous team to play. (2) It also labels them as what coaches refer to as a "frontrun-ner.- " That is to say, when they include speedsters Larry Kahn- - Smith and Chris Roscoe. The key for BYU will be how successful the Cougars play secondary run support with safeties Norm Dixon and Troy Fuller. These two must fill gaps, come to the line for stops and read a true option key -something neither have ever done in a Cougar uniform. Against Navy, a wishbone team, Fuller and Dixon were assigned to play back and prevent, rather than attack and provide secondary run support. That's why when Navy t o' past linebackers, it was clear staling for 30 to 40 yards. Hawaii is mainly a running team with this alignment.

In similar ways, because of tin atmosphere, emotion, speed and strength of Hawaii defenders, tins will also be a big test for Cougar quarterback Ty Detmer and the offense. Believe it. If you stay up Saturday night this one could be a donny brook. Oh, by the way, Aloha. |
