Page 10 - The Michigan Daily -- Tuesday, September 27, 1988 Johnson ,Seoul ____ Continued from Page 1 world championships in Rome. Lewis was second in an American- record 9.92 seconds. If Johnson is disqualified, it could open the way for Lewis to be awarded the gold medal, reviving his bid to win an unprecedented four gold medals in two successive Olympics. The decision would be made by the International Amateur Athletics Federation, the sport's governing body. Heidebrecht said his coach, Charlie Francis, was notified of the positive test Monday night. There were conflicting reports that Johnson was leaving Seoul. The Canadian Olympic Association said one of its athletes tested positive for using a banned drug but refused to confirm it was Johnson. Johnson was the seventh athlete and third gold medalist to test positive at the Seoul games. MEANWHILE, Carl Lewis, hopping mad and fighting the schedule-makers all day, won .the long jump yesterday at the Seoul Olympics, becoming the only man to win two in a row. His best jump of the day, was a 28-foot, 7 1/2-inch leap. Mike Powell took the silver and Larry Myricks claimed the bronze, producing the first long jump sweep for the U.S. since 1904. Lewis ran two 200-meter heats to qualify for Wednesday's final, then had to come right back in the long jump an hour later. He argued with track officials over his jumping times, and even though he was beaten two days earlier by Ben Johnson in the 100, it was obvious the spirit still burned. "I seized the moment, took the adrenaline and came up with a great jump," Lewis said. LEWIS finished the day with the four longest jumps of the competition in five attempts, choosing to run through the pit on his last approach. None of yesterday's efforts approached his personal best this year of 28-9. Roger Kingdom became only the second man to repeat in the 110- meter hurdles, defending his 1984 championship with the third fastest time in history. Lee Calhoun, another American, was the first man to win two in a row, in 1956 and '60. "When I stood on the podium, I thought how much sweeter it was this time," Kingdom said. "I let people see that my win in 1984 wasn't a fluke." Through 10 days, the medal count looked like this: Soviet Union 75 total, 33 gold; East Germany 67 total, 27 gold; and United States 44 total, 14 gold. MORE U.S. MEDALS were sure to come from boxing, diving, tennis, and basketball, where the United States and the Soviet Union will meet in the Olympics for the first time in 16 years in Wednesday's semifinals. The United States has sent nine of its 12 boxers into the quarterfinals, even though they're doing a little head-hunting, and diver Greg Louganis is a favorite in today's platform event, even though he has a little bump on his head. "Sometimes it can get to you," said boxer Kenneth Gould, who is not known for his big punch. "You see your teammates wasting everyone away, and I say, hey, I want to do that too." Louganis, who cracked his head open on the board before winning the springboard event last week, could win his fourth diving gold in two years in the platform today. Nobody has done that before. LOUGANIS was the top qualifier after 10 dives yesterday, taking over the top spot form Chinese divers Xiong Ni and Li Kongzheng. "I thought I was steady, relatively consistent and I didn't make any major mistakes," Louganis said. "I wasn't real sharp, and that's what I hope to be tomorrow." Danny Manning's 18 points led the U.S. basketball team over Puerto Rico 94-57 and into the semifinals against the Soviet Union, where the two teams will meet in the Olympics for the first time since America's one-and-only loss at the 1972 Munich Games. The Soviets earned their berth with a 110-105 victory over Brazil; Australia plays Yugoslavia in the other semifinal. The last time it was the U.S. vs. U.S.S.R. the Soviets won 51-501 when three seconds were twice added to the clock and Aleksander Belov scored on a full-court inbounds pass. It was the United States' only Olympic loss in 86 games, and it was so controversial, America refused to accept the silver. THE SPORTING VIEWS L- Rogers outduels Walton in battle of boneheads 4 BY RICHARD EISEN If Vince Lombardi had been at Sunday's Detroit Lion-New York Jet football game, he would have taken Lions head coach Darryl Rogers and Jets head coach Joe Walton and cracked them both across the cheeks. He would whap them because both coached horrendous ball games and in the end, the Jets won, basically, because Rogers simply made more bonehead decisions than Walton. Right off the bat, you should know that Daryl and Joe, the Dunderhead Duo, are not known for their coaching ability. In fact, they could be the NFL's two worst coaches. IF GEORGE Steinbrenner had owned either team, both coaches would already have been fired, rehired and fired again. And yet, despite poor performances, they remain the coaches of their respective football teams. Maybe they have uncompromising photos of their bosses. The first quarter at the Silverdome actually ended with both coaches performing virtually error free and the score tied at three. As halftime approached, neither coach had yet shown their true coaching colors. But with 1:50 to go in the half, Rogers struck. He couldn't resist. Facing third down deep in his own territory, Rogers, instead of running out the clock and punting the ball, decided to go for the bomb. Rogers, who had been calling a conservative game all day, finally decided to io for the long gain - 15 yards away from his own end zone, quite a precarious position. The pass, of course, was intercepted on the Lions' 40-yard line. The Jets, who had just scored to take a 10-3 lead, could now go into halftime with momentum and an even larger lead. But, fortunately for Rogers, the Caped Klutz, Joe Walton, Boy Wonderless, bailed out the Lions. THE JETS, whose talent must continually overcome Walton's inability to coach, drove down to the Lions' 14-yard line with :14 seconds left. With one timeout remaining, the Jets had one play left to try for a touchdown before halftime. , Instead, Boy Wonderless ran a draw play that gained one yard. Pat Leahy, the Jets place kicker, then ran on the field and pushed a field goal attempt wide of the goal posts. Rogers 1, Walton 1. After the second half kickoff, Walton immediately took the lead over Rogers as he made the egregious error of changing his game plan during halftime. In the first half, the Jets were highly successful passing the football, with quarterback Ken O'Brien completing 17- of-23 passes for 175 yards. THE LIONS' secondary clearly could not handle the potent Jet receivers, and yet Walton ran the ball in the second half. The offense faltered continuously, allowing the Lions to control the ball and tie the game at ten. The few times Walton passed, the Jets moved the ball. Eventually, the Jets scored the game winning touchdown - a 26 yard pass to receiver Wesley Walker, who was completely uncovered. The nearest defender was in Ypsilanti. But during the fourth quarter, when the offense needed to move the ball, it couldn't. The Lions got the ball back on their own 12 with approximately 1:40 left in the game. Thanks to Walton, a team which had previously dismantled the Browns and the Oilers, two fearsome opponents, was now in jeopardy of losing to the hapless Lions. But Rogers came to the rescue. DOWN 17-10, the first play from scrimmage was a dump pass to fullback James Jones for three yards. With 85 more yards to go for the tie, Rogers called the same play, but got different results. Jones gained four yards this time. Now on the 19-yard line, with a minute to go, the 29,250 fans that were crazy enough to show up became restless, begging for Rogers to call a long pass for a change. Fans roared like lions as Detroit lined up in pass formation. The same fans then watched in horror as quarterback Chuck Long handed the ball off. The run gained one yard. The Lions threw a futile fourth down pass that fell incomplete. The Jets jumped for joy, congratulating each other. They had overcome Joe Walton's play calling for yet another week. Instead, they should have carried Darryl Rogers off the field for his coaching performance.. Associated Press Carl Lewis became the first man in history to repeat as Olympic long jump champion. The gold medal winner's best jump of the competition was 28-feet, 7 1/2 inches. U 4 WANT POWER?
