SDSU Names Two Coaches

Despite financial woes and deep cutbacks in its athletic department, San Diego State on Monday launched its 18th Division I sport when it named Roye Oliver as its wrestling coach.

The wrestling program will not be funded by SDSU. Instead it will be underwritten by the Amateur Sports Training Centers.

The school also announced Frederick R. Brown as women’s golf coach.

Brown’s position is part time. He will continue his current job teaching at Madison High.

INDOOR SOCCER

Earl Foreman, commissioner of the Major Soccer League, will meet with officials in Kansas City, Mo., today to discuss resuscitating the Comets, which folded a week ago when the franchise’s nine owners failed to attract a 10th investor.

Since that time, however, Michael Hernandez, a Kansas City city council member, has proposed that the city give $70,000 a year for three years to the Comets.

The council is scheduled to vote on the matter later this week.

“Right now we’re trying to get the other 90% (of the ownership) together and make sure that they will still be shareholders,” said Steve Lyman, who was vice president in charge of finance for the Comets.
