Young's future still unclear
Doctors haven't cleared 49ers' quarterback to play
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Steve Young's latest conclusion after a hit sent him to a neurologist yesterday left the San Francisco 49ers wondering about the future of their star quarterback.
The Associated Press
Young lost consciousness for several seconds after the head-snapping hit in Monday's 24-10 win at Arizona. He left the game late in the second quarter and didn't return.
Trying to dodge pressure, Young caught the full force of a hit from blitzing cornerback Aeneas Williams. The violent blow knocked Young backward, and as he fell, his head hit tackle Dave Fiore's leg before smashing against the ground.
Young was motionless on the field with his eyes shut, and tackle Derrick Deese tugged at his jersey to try to help him up. When there was no immediate response, team trainers and doctors ran onto the field, along with coach Steve Mariucci.
Young, who has a history of concussions, came to after a few moments and walked off the field himself.
At one point, he even tried to talk Mariucci into letting him re-enter the game, but Mariucci didn't allow it. Young then donned a cap and watched from the sideline as backup Jeff Garcia finished.
The concussion is at least the fourth Young has suffered since 1996. The previous three occurred during a 10-month span, two during the 1986 season and another in the last operative. The three previous concussions in relatively quick succession raised fears about the possible impact on Young's long-term health if he continued playing. Some of his friends and relatives at the time urged him to consider retiring, and there was concern that one more serious hit could force him out of football.
His protection has been spotty, and he has been battered weekly by the opposition. In last week's 28-21 win against New Orleans, Young was hit 21 times, including five sacks, in what was one of the most sustained poundings he had endured in his 15-year
The concussion punctuated what had been a trying season so far for the 37-year-old Young.
In a post-game interview, Young appeared lucid and told reporters he did take the issue of repeated concussions seriously.
The Associated Press
Hall-of-Famer accused of fraud
He was cleared to play following the previous concussions; he's missed only two games because of injury during the past two seasons.
WASHINGTON — Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton was among those cited yesterday when the Securities and Exchange Commission announced enforcement actions against 68 people and companies for alleged accounting fraud, including creating phony invoices and inflating earnings.
Tarkenton, the former head of a computer software company, agreed to settle by paying a $100,000 fine without admitting or denying wrongdoing, the SEC said.
The SEC called the series of civil fraud actions its first coordinated assault on financial reporting mis-
ings by millions of dollars in reports for its fiscal year ending June 30,1994.

In addition to the $100,000 fine, the former Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants quarterback also agreed in his settlement to pay $54,187 in restitution. The money will go to a federal court, and shareholders of the company might make claims to it.
deeds. Arthur Levitt, chairman of the market watchdog agency, has been pushing publicly traded companies to improve their financial reporting and avoid manipulating their earnings to meet Wall Street analysts' projections.
The SEC said the cases involved a cookbook for fraudulent accounting, including reporting income from shipments that never were made, shipping products without customers wanting them, creating phony invoices and inflating the value of inventories.
In Tarkenton's case, he and 10 other former executives of his computer software and consulting firm, KnowledgeWare Inc., were accused by the SEC of fraudulently inflating the company's earn-
"The events in question took place about five or six years ago," said his attorney, Robert Thornton, in a statement. "He has long since moved on with his life to other business ventures."
Overall, the SEC took action against 15 companies whose stock is publicly traded, some of whom are in bankruptcy proceedings.
