...Besides Ali--Columbia's third leading scorer a year ago--the losses come mostly from the defensive front line. Center fullback Kurt Swanback and outside fullback Steve Cafiano have gone as has back Adam Suttner, who dropped out of school.

Majlis (parliament) Speaker Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Chief Justice Ayatullah Moussavi Ardabeli jointly assumed the presidency until new elections are held, at the latest by Oct. 19, to fill the vacancy.
