(AP.) - At the very tip of the · Point Reyes Headlands north of San Francisco, rolling green hills turn to sheer cliffs when they meet the Pacific Ocean. Today, an automated elec. tric clight and fog horn warn . mariners of the rocky shore, but the original Point Reyes Lighthouse remains as a teslament to California's maritime past. Years of wind, fog and harsh Se a air have left the structure in need of repairs, so the 132-year-old light· _house is being restored as part of a $1.2 million proJect by the National Park Service. "Everything takes a beat· ing out here," said Steve Anastasia, a ranger at Point Reyes National Seashore. "The moisture, the wind, the salt air is highly corrosive and it just rips everything apart.' Crews are rushing to fix the 300 narrow concrete steps -the only way down the cliff to the oceanside beacon - paint the lighthouse and complete other repairs before next month when tourists will flock to the peninsula to see migrating gray whales. · The lighthouse was built in 1870 to keep sailors from crashing into the rocky shore as they navigated into and out of San Francisco Bay, 35 miles to the southeast. It was decommissioned by the Coast Guard in 1975, and is now maintained by the National Park · Service as a historic. site. The stairway that leads down from a clifftop observation deck is trea,cherous · even in good weather. A sign at the top ":arns ~hat the chmb back up ts equ1valent to a 30-story building. Repairs aren't easy. Broken pieces of concrete must be hauled up the steps in a motorized wheelbarrow. New concrete has to be pumped down through long pipes. The weather doesn't help. Rain makes work impossible and the renovation fell behind schedule when a series of winter storms battered the area. Point Reyes is also the windiest place on the Pacific Coast" and one of the foggiest spots in North . America, according a National · Seashore brochure. Rangers say the wind has reached 133 mph there. Visitors can go no further than the top of the steps when the wind is strong. "When it's more than 40, it's too dangerous," Park S · S c· 11 ervice ranger ue 1P0 a · said. On calm days, visitors can go inside the light· house, which still has its original 191h century lens and clockwork mechanism . that focus and turn the light beam. Spring through fall, rangers operate the light· house for show twice a month, · "People come from all over the nation just to see the lighthouse .... They're amazed," said ranger Craig Morgan. "It's an experience." JIBLA, Yemen (AP) - A suspected Muslim extremist, cradling his hidden gun like a baby under his jacket, slipped into a Southern Baptist hospital in Yemen on Monday and opened fire, killing three American missionaries and seriously wounding a fourth, officials said. The suspected attacker, a Yemeni, was arrested, and a Yemeni official said sc;curity forces were searching for a cell that may be targeting foreigners and prominent Yemenis that Islamic extremists deem too secular. Americans have been · repeatedly warned by the State Department be cautious in Yemen, a country where central government authority is weak in tribal areas, guns are plentiful .and Muslim militants have found refuge. Yemen, the ancestral homeland of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden, has been a key front in the U.S.-Ied war on terrorism. The White ' House · condemned the attack in the town of Jibla, but said it was too soon to tell if it was linked to terror groups. U..S. investigators were working closely with the Yemenis "to bring to justice all those who are responsible," spokesman - S co It McCl e llan said. The gun m a n entered the Koehn complex of Jibla Baptist Hospital, slipping past a security check where visitors are supposed to leave their weapons by hiding his semiautomatic rifle under his jacket to make it resemble a chi ld, officials and the missionary organiZation said . .It's not .uncommon in Yemen for children to be carried under loose fitting clothes. The attacker entered a room where hospital · director William E. Koehn was holding a meeting and opened fire, said . the Southern Baptist Convention's International Mi.ssion Board, based in Richmond, Va. · · Koehn and two others were killed instantly with shots .to the head, Yemeni officials said. The gunman then went to the hospital's pharmacy and shot and wounded the pharmacist, Dona ld W. Caswell. Koehn. 60, of Arlington , Texas, had planned to ret ire in October after 28 years of service. The Mi ss ion Board identilled the other two dead as purchasing agent Kathleen A. Gariety, 53 , of Wauwatosa, Wis. and Dr. Martha C. Myers, 57, of Montgo mery, Ala. Caswell, 49. of Levelland, Texas, was shot in · the abdomen and hospital officials said he was in critical ctindition: His father, D.C. Caswell, said hi s son was recovering after surgery. · The killings are "a crime unacceptable in any religion. This contradicts Islam," said a Jibla woman who gave only her first name, Fatima, and said she used the hospital. "They cared for us and looked after us. I can't even count the number of children they treated and saved." After the attack. a Yemeni military jeep with a soldier behind a large machine gun was posted outside the gates of the hospi tal, a compound of several of one-story, corrugated tin-roof buildings in Jibla, 125 niiles south of San'a.

( College football Major League Baseball Hall of Fame meeting on Rose postponed NEW YORK (AP) Baseball is in no rush to call a meeting of Hall of Famers to · talk about Charlie Hustle. A meeting between Hall of Famers and commissioner . Bud Selig to discuss Pete Rose had been postponed at the request of baseball officials. The Hall had been contact· ing its 58 living members about a possible gathering in Los Angeles on Jan . 17. But . Bob DuPI!y. baseball's chief operating office, asked the Hall on Friday to d~lay the session. Hall spokesman Jeff ldelson said Monday th at the meeting would not take place, but would not go into the reasons, and DuPuy declined comment. The meeting is likely to be scheduled for the first two weeks of February. a baseball official said on the condition of anonymity, and no action on Rose is likely to take place before the meeting with Hall members. Rose, the career hits leader,' agreed to a lifetime ban from · baseball in August 1989 fol· lowing an investigation of his gambling. Because of the ban, he cannot appear on the Hall of Fame ballot.

Selig and Rose met in Milwaukee on Nov. 25, and Rose issued a statement earlier this month confirming the talks, saying "we have been provided the forum to discuss . all of the issues with major · league baseball."

"That's their game plan," . Miami's Ken Dorsey said. "That's how they want to play our offense. Some teams try to take the run away, some teams try to take me away. That's the benefit of a balanced offense." The No. I Hurricanes (120) will implement a similar strategy to the second-ranked Buckeyes ( 13-0) in Friday night's Fiesta Bowl. Miami wants to neutralize running back Maurice Clarett and put the game in quarterback Craig Krenzel's hands. "If they try to take the running game away, we'll h11ve one-on-one coverage outside and I like our receivers chances of coming down with the ball ," Krenzel said. · Dorsey and Krenzel are used to this by now. The two quarterbacks, who each have lost only once in their colle~e careers, are targets for cnllctsm. "It's one of those things where people have their opinion and they're entitled. to it," Dorsey said. 'Tm not going to try to take their opinion away or tell them they' re wrong. I have · my own opinipn." ··· Dorsey's record leaves little to quarrel with despite the doubters . He passed for 3,073 yards and 26 touchdowns this season, completing 55.4 percent of his passes with just I0 interceptions. He's Miami's career leader in touchdown passes (84), passing yards (9,269), completions (640), total offense (8,888) and victories (38). And all this at a school with a pretty impressive list of quarterback alums: Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Vinny Testaverde, Steve Walsh, Gino Torretta and Craig Erickson. "Kenny has been under the microscope from everybody," offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski said. "If his towel was a little off tb the right, everyone had things to say.

Jeff Garcia opened . by directing the NFL's longest drive of the year in terms of elapsed time as the 49ers chewed up I 2:07 on a 20play, 81-yard marchcapped by a 19-yard Jeff Chandler field goal. Seldom-.used backup quarterback Tim Rauay then took over, throwing touchdown passes . of 2 and 27 yards to Tai Streets for a 17-0 halftime lead. The 49ers had the ball for almost two-thirds of the first half, 19:29 to 10:31 for the Rams, and outgained them 224-33. The opening drive surpassed one of I 0:04 by the Jaguars in the opening week of the season. San Francisco had a dominating start without two offcnsi ve linemen nursing minor ankle injuries, guard Ron Stone and tackle Derrick Cleveland (6-27) made a run late in the third quarter and early in the fourth . Davis' final 3-pointer got the Cavaliers to 85-76, but Aaron Williams converted a threepoiill play and Jefferson hit a JUmper to push the lead to 14 points. "We controlled the tempo in the first quarter but those guys are good, they know how to play," said Davis, who was called for two technical fouls. He wasn't ejected because the first · was for hanging on the rim. Deese. The 49ers als<i were without wide receiver Terrell Owens, who missed the last two games with a groin injury. The Rams, who had the NFL's No. 1 offense the last three seasons, produced only 33 total yards in the first half. "I was getting ready to check the paper to look for a job," Martz said. · A, skittish Martz picked third-stringer Scott Covington the starter on Saturday. But he stayed with Covington - · a Bengals castoff who has been with the team since October - for only two ineffective series before going back to Martin. "He just got a little excited," Martz said. "He had a couple of plays called backwards that hurt us early in the game. Instead of .making a bad situation worse ami ruining it, I got Jamie in there." . Covington disputed Martz's assessment. . "A couple drives and !'.m out, but it's his prerogative," Covington said. "I was comfortable with everything." Garcia converted four third downs in the marathon open,jng march before he threw the ball away on a third-andgoal from the Rams I. The 49ers had to settle for a 19yard field goat by Chandler. , Streets' 2-yard catch capped a seven-play, 63-yard drive with 10:34 to go in the half. The third scoring drive was less time-consuming three plays covering 70 yards - and took up oilly I :24, capped by Streets' 27-yard reception with 3:02 left in the half. The Rams got all but I 0 their 33 first-half yards on two completions from Martin to Torry Holt near the end of the half.
