Webb was a first team Junior College All-America at Midland College and led the team to the national JC championship his freshman year. The team was 65-8 during his two years in Midland. Webb, who averaged 16 points a game the past season, said he chose NC State over Bradley because he liked the Raleigh, N.C., campus and head coach Jim Valvano. Webb attracted national attention as a 5-foot-4 high school senior at Wilmer- Hutchins, south of Dallas, with his dunking ability. In other signings Monday, Baylor coach Jim Haller announced that 7-foot-1 John Wheeler of Cleveland State Uni versity will transfer to Baylor to complete his remaining two years of eligibility. Wheeler, a graduate of Dal las’ Lincoln High School, will en roll in Baylor this fall but cannot play for the Bears until the 1984-85 season under NCAA transfer rules. Troubled with injuries at Cleveland State, Wheeler played in only 11 games his freshman year before being sidelined with leg injuries. His sophomore sea son he suffered a stress fracture in his left foot and played only five minutes all year. Southern Methodist coach Dave Bliss said Monday that Johnny Fuller, a 6-foot-1 guard who averaged 24 points for Wil- mer-Hutchins, had signed a let ter of intent to play college ball at SMU.

Fri. GREASE Midnight Theater GREASE 2 Midnight Theater United Press International John Denny won his game since last July 9, seven months and seven starts after the Philadelphia Phillies ac quired him. And he did it with out his best stuff. Denny, acquired by the Phil lies from Cleveland, scattered eight hits while Gary Matthews and Mike Schmidt sparked a three-run third inning with home runs Monday night, lift ing Philadelphia to an 8-2 vic tory over the Chicago Cubs. “It was cold (44 degrees) and I couldn’t get real loose,” said Denny, 1-0. “But sometimes you don’t need your best stuff to win, especially when you get runs like that.” Denny was 0-2 in four starts for the Phillies in the last three weeks of the 1982 season. “It can have a psychological effect if you allow it to,” Denny said of the drought. “It’s just like anything else. But the pressure is what you make of it. I felt good all during spring training and I knew it would be a matter of time before I }>ut a good game together. Now I hope I can con tinue.” Denny allowed both Chicago runs in the first but settled down and held the Cubs tojust two hits in the final five innings as he recorded the Phillies’ first com plete game of the year. Matthews’ solo home run, a shot over the center field wall, and Schmidt’s two-run blast (his fourth), a towering fly that bare ly cleared the fence in left, gave Denny all the help he needed.

The defending American League champions, managed by Harvey Kuenn, exjiloded like a warm bottle of beer that had been shaken up, banging out 22 hits in a 14-0 rout of the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. “The best thing is this shows we don’t just live by the long ball,” Kuenn said of their horn- CINEMA I & II SKAGGS CENTER 846-6714 erless effort, during which the Brewers set a club record with 10 hits in a seven-run ninth in ning. They also equaled a club mark with the 22 hits. “We didn’t hit a ball out of the jiark and we scored a lot of runs. We were aggressive on the bases ... that made me very happy.” The Red Sox, who haven’t scored a run in their last 25 in nings, were limited to a leadoff double by Wade Boggs and five singles, while Milwaukee bat tered three Boston hurlers. Red Sox manager Ralj)h Houk seemed hung over from watching baseballs rocketing around Fenway Park. “I’ve never seen so many hits fall in,” Houk said. “Every club has days like this.” Don Sutton and Tom Tell- man combined on a six-hit shut- and Charlie Moore paced >ar m: United I RlCHMC Minnesota topped Clevel 5, and Oakland nipped nia, 5-3.
