Ladies PGA great still looking for first victory of new decade
The Associated Press
BUENA PARK, Calif. — At 33, Nancy Lloyd is one of the Ladies Professional Golf Association's all-time greats and should be in her prime. But she's in search of her first victory of the '90s.
Barry Bonds of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit his 306 home run of the season yesterday, reaching two milestones at the same time.
"I've been disappointed in the way I've finished this year," said Lopez, who will defend her MBS LPGA Classic at the Los Coyotes Country Club starting today. "I'd like to have a couple of wins by now."
A winner of 42 titles and nearly $3 million since turning professional in 1977, Lopez ranks 16th on this year's money list with $160,128 in money.
Bonds hits 30th homer
where last year she carved an 11-
unders par-27 to edge Pamela Wright
and Alice Ritzman by two strokes.
Little did she know as she accepted
the $4,500 winner's check, boosting
her yearly total to $487,133, that she
was making her last victory speech
for a while.
She thinks she knows what her problems are.
Perahs at no time in her career was Lopez more disappointed than at the Nabisco Dinah Shore Tournament at Rancho Mirage in late 2015, she shot rounds of 69 and 73 to mass the cut for only the third time as a pro.
"I've been hitting the ball great, but my putter has let me down," she said. "Right now, it's a matter of trying to get my confidence back."
Bonds homered in the fifth innning at Chicago to become the first player in Pittsburgh history to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases in a single season.
"This would be a nice place for to turn things around," she said. "I love to play and I want to win. That's what keeps me out here."
She'll try again at Los Coyotes.
She admitted be distracted that week by an illness her husband, former baseball player Ray Knight, had, and said her focus on her family in general also might have detracted from her focus on golf.
NFL honors players
"I find that when I'm home I don't practice as much." Lonez said.
She prefers to devote her time to Knight, whom she describes as her biggest fan, and her daughters, 6-year-old Ashley and 4-year-old Erima.
Bonds' father, Bobby, is a five-time member of the 30-30 club. They are the only father and son to accomplish the feat.
She said she has worked harder, but it still hasn't resulted in a victory. And next year she'll be playing in the NBA. She says she'll have less opportunities to win
"After missing the cut at the Dimb Shore, I realized I'm going to have to work on my game more when I'm not on the tour," she said. "I realized I am not doing all of natural ability, but I think he wants me to work a little harder."
Five tournaments remain on the 1990 LPGA Tour. Should Lopez fail to win an event, it will be the first time that's happened since 1868, when she took time out to have a baby and played in only four tournaments.

Bowen relives first college interception
Two days after travelling to Miami, Southeastern Conference commissioner Roy Kramer is scheduled to speak at Carolina officials today as the SEC

"Catch me an interception and call it back for a touchdown," called out Troy Gregory, graduate assistant in the Kansas secondary.
By Rob Wheat
"Yeah, OK," yelled back safety Charley Bowen. Louisville had already passed for two touchdowns, but because two Kansas players had too intercepted passes in the third, Bowen thought maybe he could.
Bowen glanced up at the *score* board, breathing hard. It read 21-16, with Louisville ahead and seconds remaining in the third quarter.
"Shoot. We're still in this game." Bowen said to himself. "Got to keep going, can't worry about being tired now."
This was it. Browning Nagle, the Cardinals' quarterback, had to pass deep, because it was third down and two yards to go on the Kansas 32-yard line.
Louisville was already in field goal position, but Bowen was more afraid of giving up a touchdown. He was tired from playing in every defensive down but found inspiration, when looking at the scoreboard, that Kansas could still win.
Miami and South Carolina are reportedly the front runners to become the 12th member of the SEC. if the league decides to expand further after adding Arkansas this summer.
Just outside the end zone, the pass came in like a bullet. Bowie took a few steps forward, leaped into the hall and wrapped his hands around the hull.
With his first career interception he put Louisville out of field-goal range and robbed the Cardinals of their chance to score.
Almost immediately he felt a sharp pain in his side and back when another Kansas defender and a Cardinal receiver slammed into him as they fought for the catch. As Bowen surrounded the wind was knocked out of him.
Bowen wearily sat down on the bench and it finally hit him:"That
"No, wait! Leave me alone," gasped Bowen as several Jayhawks hoisted him up and slapped him on the helmet in celebration.
Later, as he jogged off the field, Boppy hannily kept repeating, "I got one. I finally got one." But when he came back, the sidelines, Gregraeb grabbed him.
"You got the interception, but you didn't get the touchdown," Gregory said. "Go back out there and do it again."
was my first college interception."
He thought about how his team would have started their drive from the 20-yard line if he had landed on the 12-yard line, than on the 14-yard line. Bowie was falling into end zone until the Cardinal receiver hit him from behind.
Though the Jayhawks lost to Louisville after only scoring two field goals off the four total interceptions, the Knicks made with one for a loss of five yards.
It was important to him that the coaches realized they could count on him as a starter, because starting out was tough. Terry Kirby were with injuries.
Friday started six games last season, starting with the beginning of Big Eight Conference play against the Lakefront. Later, Friday said he thought he and Fowen became better friends after the Louisville experience.
During the week before the game, safety Paul Friday and Bowen talked about the pressure they would face in the game as they filled in for the win. The team had been starters before, though so they didn't feel too uncomfortable.
"We talked about things we would do during the game mostly." Friday said. "When we both got interceptions we said 'good play' to each other. I think it made us come more together as players."
Three days after the game, Bowen was wearing a red cross on his jersey, a sign that he was out of practice because of an illness. Mitch Browning, the defensive back coach, said he was proud of Bowen.
From The Associated Press
"After the other guys got injured he had to move Charley from strong safety to free safely," Browning said. "There are a lot of adjustments he had to make, without a lot of time to practice them. He did great job."
"I think I told him I'd get a million interceptions before he'd even get one," Bowen said.
If Bowen had been hurt, either during practice that week or in the game, his replacement probably would have been his brother Clint. Clint Bowen played last Saturday on special teams.
The day after the game, Charley Bowen enjoyed talking about his first interception with his brother.
Charley's teammates probably wouldn't mind.
Cleveland State picks new basketball coach
CLEVELAND — Michigan assistant coach Mike Boyd was named as Cleveland State University's new basketball coach yesterday, replacing Kevin Mackey, who was fired after his arrest for drunken driving and cocaine abuse charges.
The Associated Press
CSU President John Flower said Boyd "emerged head and shoulders above the rest" of the applicants to replace Mackey.
Flow noted it was exactly two months ago that he fired Mackey, who received suspended prison sentences on Sept. 11 after pleading guilty to a felony cocaine ring in 2013. Cayenne Common Pleas Court,
"I've waited a long time for this, and Cleveland State University is the right program," Boyd said at a news conference.
Boyd, 43, said he planned to start his new team on a running and conditioning program. He
"Mike fits the profile we had developed for our new coach perfectly," said John Konstantinos, CSU athletic director.
Boyd had been an assistant coach at Michigan since 1979. He was an interim head coach at Kent State University in 1978, where he had worked as an assistant coach since 1974. Boyd, a four-year letterman in basketball at Northern Michigan, started his coaching career as an assistant at Northern Michigan in 1969.
Boyd said he was not concerned his hiring came in the wake of Mackey's firing.

Since aerobics became popular about 10 years ago, Lawrence has become a haven for those seeking to exercise away the extra pounds that come with college as well as those who just want to remain fit.
"The majority are women, although we're getting more and more men all the time." Wolf said. Sophomore Brad Hoenner regularly calls out the "bad boy," it doesn't really bother me (being "male in a class"). Hoenner said. "It's
Aerobics classes are offered by numerous places in Lawrence and also are offered for credit at Robinson Center. With so many choices, it could seem difficult to decide where to go.

actually kind of fun."
Bob Johnson, owner of The Fitness Factory, 711 West 23rd St., said he had noticed a decline in the number of participants in the past few years.
"We only have three male members," said Renee Bazin, a junior who works his front desk and day job. "We're in our Christmas and before spring break."
Hoener said that he sometimes attended classes with his girlfriend but that he often went by himself or with other men from his fraternity.
"There are probably about 10 percent men in our classes, sadly enough," he said.
Body Boutique caters mostly to women, but it does offer some coed aerobics classes.
Another Lawrence aerobics haven is Body Boutique, 925 Iowa St.
Both The Fitness Factory and Body by Schleibe have male instructors.

"At our club, we have a lot of tights and T-shirts," she said. "It's very casual and laid back."
Dodd said the atmosphere at Body Boutique was casual.
All of the aerobics clubs offer a variety of classes ranging from low-impact, low-intensity to high-impact, high-intensity.
Many clubs offer some type of weight workout and something new to the world of aerobics — the step.
The step is a platform that can be adjusted to different heights. It is used to tone legs and buttocks and work the cardiovascular system.
Body by Schliebe will install some steps in the next few weeks. The Fitness Factory built its own and installed them about a month ago. Body Boutique has offered step classes for two months.
The step workout is based on the climbing concept and combines legs and arms. Johnson said it burned more than any other aerial orbic workout.
