    USGA Awards $ 3 0 ,0 0 0 to Portland Youth Golf
Association, Inc.
The program actively recruits kids by
conducting mini indoor clinics at local
elementary and middle schools in low to
moderate level African American neigh­
borhoods. “Without the grant from the
USGA the PYGA would not be in business,”
said Robert Clark, director of the Portland
Youth Golf Association, “Furthermore, the
PYGA is urgently needed because minority
and inner-city youth are not exposed to
golf.” This “For the Good of the Game”
grant is part of the Association’s 10-
year, $50-million commitment to pro­
grams and projects that make golf more
affordable and accessible. For more
information on the Portland Youth
Golf, please contact Robert Clark at

Broncos Lose Davis for Season
to Knee Surgery
o •
DENVER-The Denver Broncos
were bracing for the worst. That’s
exactly what they got.
The winless Broncos, already
reeling from an 0-4 start, learned
Monday that MVP running back
Terrell Davis will miss the rest of
the season after tearing two liga­
ments and cartilage in his right knee.
"Right now, my spirits are high,”
Davis said in an interview on ABC’s
“Monday Night Football. ’ ’ “I know
I’ll be back 100 percent and I’ll be
as good as new. The type of person
I am, my mentality, I’m a work­
horse and I just want to get back and
play with my teammates.”

Davis tore the anterior cruciate
ligament, the medial collateral liga­
ment and cartilage while making a
tackle after an interception in the
first quarter of Denver’s 21-13 loss
to the New York Jets on Sunday.
B roncos
train e r
Steve
Antonopulos suspected the liga­
ments were tom and an MRI on
Monday confirmed the injury. Davis
is scheduled for surgery within 10
days and will be out 4-to-6 months.
“Knowing the young man like we
all know him, 1 don’t think there’s
any question, with his work ethic
and his mindset that he’ll be back
performing at the same level, if not
' >1
H t
better,” Antonopulos said.
Davis’ injury is the same one
suffered by Atlanta running back
Jamal Anderson in the first week of
the season, leaving the NFL’s two
top rushers from a year ago out for
the season.
“ O bviously, h e ’s working
through it right now,” Broncos
coach Mike Shanahan said. “1 said,
‘Hey, I love you. You’ve done ev­
erything we’ve asked you to do.
Just hang in there.’”
After becoming the fourth player
in NFL history to run for 2,000
yards in a season last year, Davis
was faced with the challenge of
succeeding without
q u arterb ack John
Elway, who retired in
May.
He had 211 yards
on 67 carries in
Denver’s four games.
He averaged 3.1 yards
per rush, 1.7 yards
below his career av­
erage.
In Davis’ absence,
the Broncos will turn
to D erek L oville,
whose last stint as a
starter was with San
Francisco in 1995.

test player in the sport, puts her 16-
