Few surprises:
By DICK BRINSTER
AP Sports Writer
While the three-point goal will be the decid
ing factor in many a college basketball game
this season, 13th-ranked Kentucky learned
the hard way that the most basic of all shots
the free throw can’t be taken lightly.
And the Wildcats need not look beyond
Saturday’s 71-66 loss to third-ranked Indiana
for a blatant demonstration.
The Hoosiers made six free throws in the
final 42 seconds to stave off Kentucky, which
canned five of seven three-point attempts in
the game. But the Wildcats made just five of
15 free throws, leaving Coach Eddie Sutton
perplexed.
“I think when you analyze the game .. .
that hurts,” Sutton said of the free-throw
shooting.
But he promised that Kentucky, which fell
to 2-1, would continue to bomb from long
range.
“We don’t have much of an inside game
right now, and that’s why we used the three
point shot,” Sutton said.
Steve Alford, Daryl Thomas and Joe Hill
man made two free throws each for unbeaten
Indiana, which pulled away in the final min
ute to win its third game.

Kentucky, which closed to within a point

to tie the game when Rex Chapman tried to
set up for a three-pointer with 33 seconds
remaining. But Indiana’s Steve Eyl forced
Chapman into a double dribble.

Eyl said.

Testaverde makes Big Al proud
By HERSCHEL NISSENSON
AP Football Writer
NEW YORK The building stands
alongside the Downtown Athletic
Club, a few hundred yards from the
Hudson River and not much farther
from the Statue of Liberty, almost as
far south in Manhattan as you can go.
Big Al Testaverde helped build the
building, even if he is no longer cer
tain of the address.
“Yeah, right next door here,” Big
Al was saying Saturday night. “I
think it’s 110 Battery Park. I don’t
recall the number. It’s right next
door.”
Even then, • some 14 years ago,
when he was the cement mason fore
man for the building that stands
alongside the Downtown Athletic
Club, Al Testaverde knew all about
the DAC, the place that awards the
Heisman Trophy each year to the
nation’s outstanding collegiate foot
ball player.
“I used to eat my lunch on the
doorsteps and I used to pray that
some day I’m gonna walk in the door
and things are gonna be a little differ
ent,’\he said.
For the 18 months or so it took to
build the building next door, Al Testa
verde dreamed his 25-year dream up
close and personal in the shadow of
the DAC. “Except for some cold
days. The wind whips around and you
can’t stay out here,” he said.
It was windy and cold Saturday
night when Al Testaverde finally
made it inside the Downtown Athletic
Club. So did his 23-year-old son, Vin
ny, the No. 1-ranked University of
Miami’s record-setting quarterback
and winner of the 52nd annual Heis
man Trophy.
“We dreamed it together, we did it
together and I’m proud to say we won
it together,” Vinny Testaverde said.
He was standing at a battery of
microphones in a roomful of media,
but he was talking to his father.
Al Testaverde would have been
satisfied with a one-point victory.
Instead, he got a runaway, the second
largest in Heisman history.

cy, won the Heisman by 1,541 points
over Temple running back Paul
Palmer, the country’s top rusher.
The only greater margin was the 1,-
750 points by which Southern Cal
tailback O.J. Simpson defeated Pur
due halfback Leroy Keyes in 1968.
In voting by members of the media
across the country, Testaverde re
ceived 678 first-place votes 1,050
ballots were sent out and 2,213
points, tabulated on a 3-2-1 point
system. Testaverde also received 76
second-place and 27 third-place votes
and won each of the six Heisman
regions East, Mid-Atlantic, South,
Southwest, Midwest and Far West.

Palmer received 28 first-place
votes and 672 points. Michigan quar
terback Jim Harbaugh finished third
with 25 first-place votes and 458
points.
The rest of the top 10 finishers were
Oklahoma linebacker Brian Bos
worth (9 firsts, 395 points), Holy
Cross tailback-defensive back Gordie
Lockbaum (32-242), Auburn tailback
Brent Fullwood (4-129), Alabama
linebacker Cornelius Bennett (3-96),
Penn State tailback D.J. Dozier (0-
77), Fresno State quarterback Kevin
Sweeney (6-73), and Ohio State line
backer Chris Spielman (5-60).
Testaverde started playing orga
nized football at the age of 6'A with
the Franklin Square (N.Y.) Warriors
in a Long Island peewee league. The
family lives in Elmont, just across
the New York City line from the
borough of Queens.

“He was always one cut above the
next player,” said Al Testaverde,
who was never more than an enthu
siastic sandlot player himself. “He
was very talented as a youngster.
“It (the Heisman) was something
he wanted. I think he knew that I
wanted it real bad, so I think he tried
for it even more.”
6.058
Al Testaverde tried a little post
natal influence on his only son. He put
a football alongside the pillow in the
bassinet the day Vinny came home
from the hospital.
“He was five days old,” Al re
called. “The football was a couple of
years old. It wasn’t a regulation foot
ball. I think I paid a couple of dollars
for it, which in those days was a lot of
money.”
AP/Vince Scol.l
Vinny was the third of Al and Josie
Testaverde’s five children two
girls, Vinny, then two more girls.
Since no female has ever won the
Heisman Trophy, could Al Testa
verde have been just a trifle disap
pointed when his first two offspring
were girls?
“If I said no I’d be lying,” he said.
In leading Miami to an 11-0 record
he missed one game with bruises
suffered when he fell off his motor
scooter and a berth in the national
championship Fiesta Bowl game
against runner-up Penn State.
