ast week in the world of sports

Diane Wrobleski staff writer e Flyer's future may be on ice.

?hliadelphia Flyers fans were at frenzy Nov .10, after they ~ed Eric Lindros had disred, with seven minutes -::::i:u..:.ning in the first period of =-ame against the New JerDevils.

:e Flyers not only took a 5- at the Spectrum against Devils but also lost their -g scorer, Lindros.

.e sell-out Spectrum crowd ever told Lindros was hurt. tis teammates were not ·-=iedabout his injury until ;_rst intermission of the ndros will be out for threeweeks due to a torn mediateral ligament in his right s injury occurred near the jefensive corner, just secJ.fter he became locked into .:e stance with New Jers Bill Guerin.

G.erin seemed to fall on --=ros's right leg, then the s· John MacLean cross- checked Lindros in the back of the helmet. When Lindros turned to pursue the puck up the ice, it seemed as if he spun in place.

T:. Devils' strategy, to continually hook and trip Lindros, was obvious from the opening face-off, when New Jersey's Bobby Holik went off the ice for hooking, just 22 seconds into the game.

The Flyers lost their first battle since Lindros' injury Nov. 13, when Buffalo defeated them 7-2 at the Spectrum.

Unlike the 23 disasterous games Lindros missed last year, he may be back by Dec.2, after a nine- game absence.

College football took a sharp, intense turn Nov. 13, as second-ranked Notre Dame defeated top ranked Florida State, 3124. This Irish victory is certain to go dowm as a college football classic.

Florida State went into the game strong. They won their previous nine games by an average of almost 38 points and never by less than 18. On the other hand, Notre Dame struggled in its first two games against Northwestern (27-12) and Michigan (27-23). However, they won their last seven by an average of more than 26 points. Before the big battle, both teams had a 16-game winning streak, which was the longest in the NCAA.

Other college football highlights include Penn State's 2814 victory over Illinois at Beaver Stadium on Nov. 13.

Illinois' loss ended their chance to finish first in the Big Ten and go to the Rose Bowl. The Nittany Lionscan still make the Citrus Bowl and place second in the Big Ten.

Thousands of excited fans at Ohio State could not be controlled by security on Nov. 13, after the 2317 victory over Indiana. Fans were doused with chemical sprays, as they tore down the goal posts to celebrate. The victory putthe Buckeyes within range of clinching their first trip to the Rose Bowl since the 1984 season.

As a result of their victory, Ohio State advanced to 9-0-1 overall and 6-0-1 in the Big Ten.

In pro football, the Eagles' mission to get back on track after eight weeks into the sea- son was not accomplished.

The Eagles lost to the Dolphins 19-14 at Veterans Stadium. They had hoped to stop a four-game losing streak, but created a five-game losing streak instead.

The offense that once got the Eagles off to a 4-0 start has vanished, because of many adjustments due to increased injuries and a toughening schedule. Since Randall Cunningham has been absent, the Eagles have averaged only seven points per game.

Cheers to the Sixers for winning their first road game of the season Nov. 13, over the New Jersey Nets, 98-97.

In the last 24 seconds of the game, rookie center Shawn Bradley gave the Sixers their first and only lead of the game. Finally, Bradley and the team can put their bad start behind them.

The final of the Virginia Slims tournament of Philadelphia wrapped-upon Nov.14,atthe Philadelphia Civic Center. Conchita Martinez, No.4-ranked tennis player in the world, defeated the world's No.1 tennis player, Steffi Graf, breaking Graf's 44-match winning streak, 6-3, 6-3.

Father knows best

Who is the only player in NBA history to score over 10,000 points in a career, despite making fewer than 38 percent of his field goals?
