Bosworth wins case
SEATTLE (AP) — Former
Seattle Soahawks linelmcker Bri
an Bosworth is entitled to col
lect $7 million from Lloyd's of
London bet ause of a shoulder
injury that cut short his NFL
career in a jury ruled
Tuesday.
Uosworth filed the U S Dis
trict Court suit after Lloyd's
refused to pay his claims under
two policies totaling $51 mil
lion that were taken out by the
Seahavvks
The seven-woman, five-man
jury ruled Bosworth should get
that money plus $1.0 million in
interest His lawyers liatl asked
lor 12 pen ent interest.
Lloyd's lawyers argued that
Bosworth'* three-year, 25-game
i aroer with the Soahawks was
ended by arthritis, a condition
they said was not covered under
the polit ies
The jury deliberated about 10
hours in the three days after a
10-day trial before Judge
William Dwver
After the verdict was read.
Bosworth hugged a weeping
Katherine Nicnstro, the mother
of his 14-month-old daughter.
Alena Bosworth
"It 's not the monetary thing at
all,' Bosworth said "To me, this
was more of a i ase of principle
It's been very emotional."
Bosworth. 27. of Plano. Texas,
said hi* felt the jurors didn't
have any choice but to award
him the money.
"I'm not sun* if there was any
thing that swayed the jury," he
said. "I thought it was a very
simple case This was the right
thing."
Gary Wichard, Bosworth's
agent, said Bosworth rejected a
settlement offered by Lloyd's
before the trial got underway
because Bosworth wanted all his
money as a matter of principle
Wichard said he advised
Bosworth against accepting the
settlement.
"Whether it's $100,000 or $7
million, I believe, Brian
believes, Katherine believes, you
lust fight, you just fight."
Wichard said
Henry Jameson. Bosworth's
lawyer, said he thought it was
an easy decision for the jurors.
"(Lloyd’s) owed the money
under the policy and I ultimate
ly thought at some point in the
legal system that somebody
would tell them that." Jameson
said
Tom Merrick, a lawyer for
Lloyd’s, said the insurer had not
decided whether to ap|«-nl
"We're going to take a very
(lose look at that over the next
month or so," Merrick said.

Player robbed, shot at
SAN LEANDRO. Calif (AP) — Seattle SuperSonics guard
Gary Payton narrowly escaped injury in a confrontation with
a gunman who fired once during a struggle before fleeing with
$60,000 worth of cash and jewelry.
The shot was fired into the ground when Payton grabbed at
the robber's gun in the holdup Sunday night at an apartment
building parking lot. There were no injuries and the gunman
remained at large, said Lt. Ted Nelson of the Alameda County
Sheriffs Department.
Payton, Seattle's starting point guard and former Oregon
State star who is averaging 14.5 points per game, sprinted to
safety after the shot was fired and the gunman disappeared
with Payton's valuables.
A native of Oakland. Payton had returned to the San Fran
cisco Bay area with his girlfriend, Monique James, to visit
friends and family during the NBA All-Star break. They were
staying with James' mother, at whose apartment building in
unincorporated San Leandro, 25 miles east of San Francisco,
whon the robbery took place.

limited physical statures.
"We sit here because we’re
short.” Tierney said. "Besides,
it's a better view up here
because you can set* the whole
court."
Although closer seats are tisu
all\ available. 20*year Eugene
residents Merlin and Isss Hill
have made it a habit to sit in the
third balcony.
"The seats move with the
crowd," she said. "When every
one cheers, it's like an earth
quake up here."
For some people, the third
balcony’s distance from the floor
proves to be optically advanta
geous.
"I'm far-sighted," said Univer
