Time capsi with sports As we approach the half-way point of the first year in the '90s, what would be some of the things that would be worthy of storing in a time capsule; relating to sports, of course. I thought about this over the weekend, and I came up with five things that have happened during the first six-months of the year. Before I continue, you might wonder why a time capsule. Well, the '80s just ended, and everything and anything that happened during those 10 fabulous years has been documented in some sort of fashion. So I decided to get a head start on what will be documented about the year 1990 when this decade expires, and store it in a time capsule. For January, I'd go with Super Bowl XXIV and San Francisco's 55-10 romp over Denver. Not only was it the biggest blowout in Super Bowl history, but it gave the 49ers their second straight championship and their fourth of the '80s. This game allowed the 49ers to claim they were the best in the business. From Joe Montana to t r>:~~ ~ r ?u . jcriy xxiLC iu xxuiiiiic i^uu, 111c 49ers showed why ihey should go down in the record books as one of the best teams ever. And in the time capsule. Now for February, what else could go in but the tumble in Tokyo. That's right, Buster Douglas' shocking upset of Mike Tyson in 10 rounds. Tyson was the undisputed king of boxing and looked to be prepping for a future match with the No.l contender Evander Hollyfield. However, with Douglas' victory, the world of boxing was thrown for a loop as now Tyson fights to regain status, while the big match will be in September between Douglas and Hollyfield. But all of this wouldn't have happened if Tyson's Tokyo tumble hadn't happened. So put this into the time capsule. For March and April, I'm going to put in the dream run of LoyolaMarymount in the NCAA basketball tournament.

Bo Kimble and Jeff # Fryer led the tournament in three- g point bombs, and who can forget b the destruction of defending champ Michigan. It was by far a run to remember, from Kimble's left handed free throws to the Lions style of play. And it was a run that ^ deserves to go into the time capsule. For the month of May, another ^ college team and their dream run j makes it to the time capsule. The if Citadel and their ride to the Col- 1 lege World Series is one that made the state of South Carolina proud. |j Head coach Chal Port and his S troops disposed of national power Miami (Fla) in two games to ad vance to the field of eight. That in J itself was an accomplishment for a m school with an enrolment of 2,200 as compared to Louisiana State University and their enrolement of 24,118. The Bulldogs then beat qg Cal-State Fullerton in an elimina- jfy lion match in a thrilling 11 inning ^ game, before bowing out thanks in f, part to LSU. The Citadel's Jason Rychlik, an outfielder, made the All-Tournament team. And again, ? all of this is worthy of going into the time capsule. mu^ Finally for the month of June, the upset of Argentina by Came- in& roon in the opening match of the ^ World Cup has to rank as one of u the greatest opening matches ever ttiei played. Cameroon was given little chance against the defending * Ju champions, but they must not have an<^ heard the critics. Francois Omam- Pre Biyik delivered the only goal of lh<* ojmc in ihp f\(\ ?h minntp r\f . WIV bUI,IV 111 MIV iiiiuutv vyx mmm play. His head shot squirted past Argentine goalkeeper Nery Pumpido and made Francois a national hero for a day. The game was not just an upset but a complete domi- _ nation by Cameroon as they had ' 12 shots on goal in the second half, to Argentina's five. This is a E FOR ONLY $250 iny 4 classes ulrain.
