opener ti Fremo State and the practice the next day was not a fun one So we took it out on them We threw them off their game and took it to them" The Aggies will certainly not lack for incentive Sunday Their Thursday victory over the Spartans put them right in the thick of the race for second place in the Big West "Second's very attainable" said Newey "We're in a great position It would have been nice if our last few games were at home (the Aggies also travel next week but every team we've got left we've beaten except for Fresno and that was a pretty close game Second is definitely realistic" YOUR APTITUDE FOR LANGUAGE didn't hurt me because I refused to be hurt Tbe punches were very solid I felt thesn They made my legs twitch" The challenger who outweighed Tyson 223 to 218 said "I felt him crumble a little" from the book in the first round Bruno was warned several times for holding with his left hand behind Tyson's neck while hitting the champion with his right And when he spun Tyson and hit him on the back of the head Steele deducted a point in the first round About the blow to the back of the head Tyson said "It felt like my head was coming off" Tyson on the other hand landed some elbows and forearms And after the bell sounded ending the third round he nailed Bruno with a left hook "What about a point for that" a Bruno cornerman shouted at Steele Before the fight Tyson promised to avoid long layoffs although continuing litigation with manager Bill Cay-to- n could tie the fighter up Tyson has sued Caytcn in an effort to break his managerial contract and has joined forces with promoter Don King King has said that Tyson's next opponent could be Joe Ribalta a Cuban living in Miami whom Tyson knocked out in the 10th round back in 1986 Tyson earned about $8 million for his sixth defense of the undisputed' title and his 10th championship appearance Kis record now is 36-- 0 with 32 knockouts Bruno got $38 million from his second shot at becoming heavyweight champion Ke was stopped In the 1 1 th round by Tim Witherspoon in a bid for the World Boxing Association title in 1986 in London The challenger's record now is 32-- 3 with 31 knockouts However the fact that the performance by Tyson a i0-- l favorite was not as devastating as his previous victory could be laid to ring rust Tyson also said "I was a little anxious I wanted to take him

punches Many missed but many found their mark and it was obvious that Bruno's challenge was nearly at an end As the red lights on the corners blinked to signal there were 10 seconds left in the round Bruno went to the ropes where Tyson unleashed a Hurry of punches that included a crashing right appercut and a left to the head Bruno's manager leaped onto the apron to stop the fight Steele beat him to it "It's great to be back and hear the crowd" Tyson said after returning to fiction for the first time since knocking out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds in June This time he fought without a wife and without kia longtime trainer Kevin Rooney Tyson divorced actress Robin on Valentine's Day and split with Rooney because of the trainer's pub-li- e comments about his marriage "Maybe if Kevin Rooney is there it doesn't go five" said Rooney contacted in Schenectady NY where he was handling some amateur fighters He did not see Tyson's victory "When Kevin Rooney was in the corner Michael Spinks was
