WPPA / T-102 SPORTS / Monday

SAN DIEGO (AP) - LaDainian Tomlinson scored twice to continue
his climb up the career rushing and scoring lists, and the San
Diego Chargers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 31-23 yesterday. Eagles
running back Brian Westbrook left the game with a concussion which
he sustained during the opening drive of the second half. This was
Westbrook's second concussion of the season. The Eagles are now
5-4.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittburgh Steelers were beaten by the
Cincinnati Bengals at their own game at home in Pittsburgh. The
Bengals did it by relying on a defense that smothered Ben
Roethlisberger and the Super Bowl champions by holding them to four
field goals and one big special teams play for an 18-12 victory
yesterday. Cincinnati also beat the Steelers back on Sept. 27.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia 76ers forward Marreese Speights
will miss six to eight weeks with a left knee injury. Speights was
injured in the fourth quarter of a 94-88 loss in Chicago. An MRI
yesterday revealed he has a partial tear of the medial collateral
ligament in his left knee. Speights has averaged 13 points and 6.4
rebounds in the first 10 games.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Reserve Tiffany Clarke scored 14 points
and No. 22 Vanderbilt rolled to a 90-54 victory over Lehigh
yesterday. Jence Rhoads recorded a career-high 10 assists for the
Commodores, who won the Southeastern Conference tournament
championship and reached the round of 16 of the NCAA tournament
last season.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State's bowl prospects are about
as cloudy as the future for its two top juniors. A Bowl
Championship Series berth is still a possibility after their 31-20
win over Indiana and losses by other potential BCS contenders such
as Southern California, Miami and Iowa. Wherever the Nittany Lions
end up, that game could be the last for linebacker Navorro Bowman
and tailback Evan Royster.
