If forced to choose, Cotton Bowl would want New Year's Day game
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Cotton Bowl officials say, if they can't do both, they would rather be hosts to a New Year's Day bowl than have a Big 12 Conference championship.
"We are trying to flow with the tide ... to the extent they elect to have a playoff game, we would sure like to be considered," John Scovell, head of the bowl's alliance committee, said Wednesday.
if they end up being mutually exclusive — that's not a decision we would make — but if the league determines it is not in their best interests to hold the two of them in the same city, then our first choice
would be a New Year's Day bowl."
The Cotton Bowl won't have an affiliation with the Southwest Conference after the Jan. 2, 1995, game. It failed to make the "Tier I" Bowl Alliance early last month.
The Cotton Bowl is now trying to secure tie-ins with two leagues, possibly for their runners-up.
The Cotton Ball all ready has proposed to the future Big 12 that it take its runner-up as host team starting with the league's inaugural 1996 season. The Big 12 champ is committed to the alliance.
Scovell said he will travel to Chicago to meet with Big Ten Conference commissioner James
Delany to discuss the future availability of that league's runner-up. Scovell already has met with Southeastern Conference commissioner Roy Kramer.
Future meetings are planned with commissioners Tom Hansen of the Pacific 10 Conference and Karl Benson of the Western Athletic Conference.
Scovell said the Cotton Bowl is waiting for the Big 12 to decide if it will have a championship game between North and South division winners beginning in 1996.
The league's next scheduled meeting of athletic directors and faculty representatives is Sept. 20-22 in Kansas City, Mo.
NEW YORK — They play different styles, Michael Chang using speed, Pete Sampras using power. Both work.

Chang, seeded sixth, beat Washington 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-6(7-3) to get into the third round. Earlier in the day, Sampras, top-seeded and the defending champion, overpowered South
Chang moved into the third round and Sampras into the second in the U.S. Open on Wednesday. Sampras had what for him was the perfect opponent, but Chang faced a familiar and dangerous combatant.
Old dream ends at U.S. Open
"We're not players who can really serve you off the court or blow you off the court," Chang said of opponent MaliVi Washington. "It's more or less a chess match. I tried not to take it into the fifth set because I knew he was not going to get tired."
African qualifier Kevin Ulyett 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in a first-round match.
Defending women's champion Steffi Graf and fourth-seeded Mary Pierce, considered one of her strongest challengers, highlight today's matches.
Also seeking berkins in the third round were sixth-seeded Lindy Davenport and No. 10 Zina Garrison Jackson.
In other first-round action involving seeded players Wednesday, No. 8 Andrei Medvedev of Ukraine defeated Austrian Gilbert Schaller 6-3, 6-4, 6-2; No. 14 Veygeny Kafnikov of Russia stopped Jaco Eltingh of the Netherlands 7-6 (7-4), 7-5, 6-3, and South African Marcos Ondruska eliminated No. 10 Alberto Berasategui of Spain 6-1, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Two seeded women's players were eliminated. Leila Meskhi of Georgia ousted No. 14 Anke Huber of Germany 6-2, 6-2 and Natalia Medvedeva,
Medvedev's sister, beat No. 16 Amy
Frazier 6-2, 6-7 (3-7), 6-4.
In other matches involving seeded women, No. 2 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, the French Open champion, downed Natalia Tauziat of France 6-2, 7-6 (7-5); No. 3 Conchita Martinez, the Wimbledon winner, stopped Nicole Arendt 6-3, 6-3; No. 5 Kimiko Date downed Yone Kamiro 6-0, 6-2 in a match of Japanese players; No. 8 Gabriela Sabatini, the 1990 U.S. Open champion, stopped Meredith McGraath 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1, and No. 9 Mary Joe Fernandez outlasted Patty Fendick 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (7-4).
Unlike the game of power tennis, in which returns of serve are considered rallies, Chang and Washington provided a match made for the 20,529 fans who jammed into the National Tennis Center's Louis Armstrong Stadium.
