John Petraglia defeated Earl Anthony, 686-649, in a three-game match to win the top seed for the final rounds of the $250,000 American Bowling Congress Senior Masters in Akron, Ohio.

Anthony, seeking a record 50th national tour title, then lost to Gary Dickinson, 669-613, to drop to third place. Tom Clark of Snellville, Ga., beat Dan Kukuk of Spokane 658-577 in a losers-bracket match.

Eight months after his hiring was announced, Mike Riley finally is ready to sign a contract officially making him Oregon State’s new head football coach.

Riley told reporters at the Beavers’ media day that the signing was imminent, and he’s eager to get on with college football’s biggest rebuilding challenge.

Troy Dumais came from behind to win the springboard title at the Dallas Morning News National Diving Championships.

Dumais, 17 of Ventura, Calif., and silver medalist P.J. Bogart of Mesa, Ariz., qualified to represent the United States in the 1-meter at the Diving World Cup in Mexico City next month. Mark Ruiz of Orlando, Fla., won the bronze.
