They're all wounded, and one guy's limping. That's how we're going into Pauley (Pavilion). But we'll be there." Notre Dame coach Digger Phelps having hit the skids with five straight losses after a pair of opening victories, faces No. 8 UCLA Saturday at Los Angeles. He jokingly compares his team to a classic oil painting of the Revolutionary War. COSTLY BUMP: year." , ESCAPES INDICTMENT: A grand on Friday refused to indict New England Patriots wide jury receiver Irving Fryar for carrying a pistol in Rhode Island without a permit. The Providence County grand jury also declined to indict William Earley, who was alleged to have assaulted Patriots wide receiver Hart Lee Dykes during a scuffle outside a Providence nightclub that led to Fryar's Oct. 10 arrest. Following the incident, Fryar said he saw a bleeding Dykes on the ground outside the Club Shalimar, and "did what I felt I had to do." Providence police charged Fryar with carrying a 9mm Smith & Wesson, which was registered in Massachusetts, without a Rhode Island permit. CHANGE OF VOTE: The elite Kansas City Country Club voted Friday to admit Henry Bloch, whose denied membership caused professional golfer Tom Watson to withdraw from the club in protest. In a special board meeting, club leaders unanimously agreed to approve the membership application of Bloch, if it is resubmitted. Bloch is Jewish. The club has no Jewish or black members. The revelation last week that a secret membership committee had rejected Bloch's application led to Watson's resignation. Watson, who grew up playing golf at the club, said he would not tolerate being part of an organization that bars Jewish members. Watson is not Jewish, but his wife and children are. A Watson spokepnan said the golf star would have no comment on the Friday board meeting. er CANCER RETURNS: Doctors may have to amputate former San Francisco Giants pitcher Dave Dravecky's left arm to prevent a second cancerous tumor from spreading. Dravecky resumed pitching in 1989 after undergoing surgery eight months earlier to remove a tumor from the same arm. He retired after breaking the weakened arm twice late in the 1989 season. Dravecky said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that the cancer returned last summer. "They could possibly have to amputate my arm. We've tried everything else. There could be no other choice," Dravecky told The Times. staffs Utah Jazz (si destroy By BOB HUDSON 90-S- 76-6- tournament led 5949 with 13:10 left BYU, in the game, but Eastern Kentucky, steadily chipped away and caught BYU at 76 when Mike Smith hit the first of two free throws with 5:04 left in the game.

Moon converted two free throws for the final margin. Ross scored 24 points to lead Eastern Kentucky. John Allen added 22 while Brown had 12 and Greathouse had 11. "We tried to ruin the party," Pollio said. "I wish Shawn Bradley would have gone on a mission. He was the difference in this game. He's the best center we've faced in two years and he's a foot taller." Bradley, who struggled in Tuesday's 1 loss at LaSalle, said, "I was more focused tonight. I got flustered on the road trip.

(5-1- Ty Detmer, you deserve today. If there's anybody in all of wrho needs a vacation from hype, interviews, sports writers, microphones and cameras, it is the BYU quarterback. Give the kid some credit he has handled, the invasion of his private life, campus life, family life, academic life and athletic life with grace and a sense of humor. Even I plead guilty having interviewed him three times in the past month. What sets Detmer apart from previous Heisman winners is his deference to his teammates. He recognizes their support and value this year. In every single interview I have heard or watched, he has given credit to coaches, his offensive line and other teammates. Rightly so. As I have noticed the newspaper and TV reports, I can't blame Ty for giving the same answers with little variation because he's asked the same questions every time. But now and then he gives an answer to a question which is insightful. Last Monday, Ty came home to Provo from Honolulu for the first time since being named the Heisman winner last Saturday. He was met by a marching band, cheerleaders, coaches, fans and politicians and you guessed it a press conference. Heck, if he had won the Heisman the Saturday before the Tuesday, Rod Collett m v i Associate Sports Editor Nov. 6 elections, and had been drafted as a favorite son candidate for Congress, Bill Orton wouldn't have had a chance. Said Detmer to sportswriters: "I would like to thank all of ya'll for the support during the year. We couldn't do it without publicity, good writeups and TV coverage. It's been a great year for us. It's more than just me. It's the whole team, the program and sports information has done a great job starting last year at the bowl game. They sent out 'Tys' and things like that and it probably had the biggest affect on this year than any." Detmer admitted that after the Hawaii game he was down, but as soon as he hit Provo and saw the party celebrating the Heisman, his spirits were lifted. 1, 36-2- So far, Detmer has been named to every conceivable team, yet the Heisman is special. He's in a fraternity with 55 other guys who have won the award, some of whom are now in Canton, Ohio's Pro Football Hall of Fame. "It's not just another award it's the biggest award in college football I'm just proud to be a part of it."
