A lawyer in Hong Kong, Young was in Bali to play in a tournament with his rugby team, which at press time was unable to account for nine members of its traveling party. "Jake was by far the hardest-working lineman I've coached," said Cornhuskers offensive line coach Milt Tenopir on Monday. "He always strained to be the best."

Mandated

Masters offered to change the name for $500,000, but the NFL offered $25,000, an ad in the Super Bowl program and spots on its subscription TV services. Masters did, however, agree to change the name of the NWFL title game from SupHer Bowl.

Mestre broke the record of 531.5 feet held by her husband, Cuban diver Francisco Ferreras.

Known as Blazin' Ben, Eastman appeared on the July II, 1932, cover of TIME four weeks before winning the silver medal in the 400 meters at the Olympics in Los Angeles.

Won
By Great Britain's Paula Radcliffe, 28, the Chicago Marathon, in a world-record time of 2:17:18. She beat the previous record, set by Kenya's Catherine Ndereba in last year's race, by 1:29.

"Even when I was a little girl," Radcliffe told SI, "my coaches told me that someday the marathon would be my best event."
