The third-party plaintiff alsoaccused Tan of breach 'of man­agementagreementthat stemmedfrom the alleged expulsion ofWaters fromhismanagementpo­sition by Tan.

Underthesaid agreement, Waterswas toreceive an annual salary- of$50,000 to bepaid monthly, plusa monthly housing allowance ofS1,000 on top of other benefits.

However on or about July I,1993, Tan allegedly forced Wa­ters "by the use of threats and byhis powers as controlling share­holdertostepdownfromhisman­agement position, thereby termi­nating -him in violation of theagreement."

WHEN itcomes to quarterbackinga team toward the National Foot­ball League playoffs this year,older is better.

Quarterbacks in their 30s are allthe rage in a season where youngercounterparts have been victim­ized by injuries and inconsistency.

There's Joe Montana, 37; PhilSimms, 38; Warren Moon, 38,and even Steve DeBerg, at 39 theoldest player in the league.

Throw in John Elway (33) andSteve Young (32), and it seemsthat 24-year-old Brent Favre ofGreen Bay is a rarity among thoseleading their teams toward thepostseason.
