—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Aug. 25, 1993 Sports Briefs O'Donnell hurting; Lipps cut again PITTSBURGH With Neil O'Donnell's elbow still hurting, Mike Tomczak said yesterday he is prepared to begin the season as the Pittsburgh Steelers' starting quarterback. Coach Bill Cowher, who has been shrugging off O'Donnell's tendi nitis as nothing more than a sore arm that would be fine in a few days, also questioned if O'Donnell can heal before the Sept. 5 opener against San Francisco. Meanwhile, the Steelers reached the NFL's 60-man roster limit by yesterday's 4 p. m. deadline by waiving nine players, including veteran wide receiver Louis Lipps for the second straight season. Lipps, the second-leading receiver in team history with 358 recep tions, also was cut last year before hooking on briefly with New Orleans. Pittsburgh re-signed him last spring to be a third-down possession receiver, but he has missed most of training camp with recurring pulled hamstrings.

When Shaquille O'Neal met the Japaneoe media for the first time yesterday, the subject was breaking backboards. And how to dunk. And just why it is that he's so big and tall. Introducing A Revolution In Long Distance Telephone Calling No Bills • No Credit Checks No Coins • Lower Cost Prepaid calling cards are a revolution in long distance telephone calling. But only Liberty offers you prepaid calling for less. You can talk longer to your boyfriend, your girlfriend and your best friend.

And no bill will ever appear. A Revolution In Long Distance Savings "I've broken five backboards and fractured one," O'Neal, in Japan as part of a promotional tour for Reebok, told a standing-room-only crowd of mostly Japanese report ers. "And I plan to do it a couple more times." The Orlando Magic center made good on that promise immediately afterward, much to the delight of a few thousand fans at Tokyo's Ariake Coliseum for the all-Japan 3-on-3 championship. His first dunk in an exhibition game against a three-man Japa nese company team proved too much for the rim, which hung limp and twisted as the crowd roared. AP Laser Photo Officials switched the game to an adjacent court, where the rim held up for about 20 Shaq attacks. Each elicited a mass exclamation of "sugoi," or "awesome." But if yesterday's news confer ence is any indication, many Jap anese are still trying to get a handle on the game's finer points. "What is the secret of dunk ing?" asked one reporter. "You get over the rim and put the ball in," O'Neal replied, deadpan.

COLLEGE AVE. • 238-0524 By The Associated Press FSU's Nance beats cancer successfully TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Six months ago, John Nance's college football career at Florida State appeared over. Doctors feared they might have to remove Nance's collarbone to completely remove a cancerous growth in his left shoulder. He spent most of the spring undergoing radiation treatments at Shands Hospital in Gainesville after a benign tumor was removed. On Saturday, the 262-pound senior will start at nose guard when top ranked Florida State opens the season against Kansas in the Kickoff Classic. "What an inspiration for us to have him back," Florida State defensive line coach Chuck Amato said. Nance admits the illness hit him hard. "It was very tough for me to accept," said Nance, who was ,sixth in tackles for the Seminoles last season with 60. "If they would've removed my collarbone, my career was over. It made me realize how quickly things can end." Scrwamip4 Ducks usch F..atur_ ~Sturday Sin - -a-1 n with th_ Phyrst Phamly - - cl Beaver: CIO
