Dupree a Breaker?
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — New Or
leans Breakers owner Ken Can-
izaro said Sunday that while de
tails must be worked out,
“Marcus Dupree could be in a
uniform soon,” with the United
States Football League team.
Canizaro’s remarks came as
the Breakers opened their sea
son against the San Antonio
Gunslingers.
Dupree, a star running back
with the Oklahoma Sooners as a
freshman, put up his pads and
walked away from Oklahoma
and enrolled at Southern Mis
sissippi soon afterwards so he
could be closer to home. But
Dupree soon left Southern Mis
sissippi too and during the past
six months has initiated talks
with the Breakers, who moved
to New Orleans this season
from Boston.
“We still have some things to
do” said Canizaro. “We have to
work out the situation with the

Dupree could be in a Breaker
uniform soon. We’re anxious to
get him in uniform as soon as
possible.”
Canizaro said he met with
Dupree Saturday in New Or
leans and was satisfied that Du
pree would like to play with the
Breakers. He said that they
have discussed money, but the
team owner would not be spe
cific concerning a dollar figure.
He did say the discussions in
volved a contract were, “in the
millions.”
Canizaro said Marcus’ situa
tion is different from that of
other college players.
“He cannot play this year (be
cause of the NCAA transfer
rule), and his family is in a
hardship situation,” said Cani
zaro. “His mother is working
three jobs, and he has a brother
with cerebral palsy.”
“I didn’t let his previous ac
tivity (leaving the two schools)
influence me,” Canizaro added.

TANK MCNAMARA
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The
San Francisco Giants acquired
veteran first baseman A1 Oliver,
one of baseball’s premier hit
ters, from Montreal Monday in
a deal that sent right-handed
pitcher Fred Breining to the
Expos.
The trade came as somewhat
of a surprise because the Giants
had been talking to the Chicago
Cubs in an attempt to obtain
their veteran first baseman, Bill
Buckner. The Giants will also
send an unidentified player to
the Expos for Oliver, who has
batted at least .300 for eight
consecutive seasons.
Expos’ president John Mc-
Hale said at his club’s Florida
training camp that the 37-year-
old Oliver was traded because
the team did not feel he was
flexible enough at first base.
McHale said Montreal manager
Bill Virdon wanted to improve
his team’s overall speed and de
fense and felt he could not do
that with Oliver in the lineup.
He also said he did not feel
his club could pass up “an at
tractive” pitcher like Breining.
Oliver’s departure at first
base creates a spot for Pete
Rose, who will battle Terry
Francona to see who plays first
and who plays left field.
The arrival of Oliver to the
Giants ends the club’s search for
a proven hitter to replace slug
ging first baseman Darrell
Evans, who went to the Detroit
Tigers this winter after declar
ing his free agency.
Oliver reportedly has two
years remaining at $800,000
per year in his contract with the
Expos. In 1982, he was the Na
tional League batting cham
pion, hitting .331 with 22 hom
ers and 109 RBI. Last season,
Oliver hit .300 with eight hom
ers and 84 RBI.
Giants’ vice president Tom
Haller said the trade will solid
ify the club’s batting order.
“Obviously this trade will
strengthen us offensively,” he
said. “We can now put A1 in be
tween (Jack) Clark and (Jeff)
Leonard in the lineup. That’s a
pretty formidable lineup.”
However, Haller said he was
sorry the club had to sacrifice a
pitcher with the quality of
Breining to get Oliver.

Dad's final season
DePaul’s coach to ret
United Press International
CHICAGO — J°ey Meyer
will admit to occasional wan
derings of the mind lately.
It may be during a long air
plane flight following a scouting
assignment. Sometimes it takes
place during a game. At other
times it is just when he is at
home watching a basketball
game on television.
The reason for Meyer’s con
centration lapses is the task that
lies ahead of him. Next year, he
will succeed his father, the leg
endary Ray Meyer, as coach of
DePaul.
In addition, Joey Meyer takes
an active role during practices,
although his father is still the
boss.
Joey Meyer says often times,
he wonders what he would do
himself in similar situations.
“I don’t agree 100 percent
with everything the coach does.
That wouldn’t be normal," he
says.“I give my input but I real
ize next year, these decisions
“You can’t help but think
about it, but my number-one
concern has always been dad’s
final season,” Meyer says.
“We’ve worked hard for tnis
year and we want dad to go out
a winner.”
Judging from DePaul’s suc
cess this season, Meyer and Son
may be able to do something
that has never been done at the
North Side university: win a na
tional championship. If it oc
curs, it will be due in no small
part to the work of Joey Meyer.
7 give my input but I
realize next year, these
decisions will all be
mine to make and my
father won't be there.’

The transition of the business
from father to son has been a
gradual one. Since joining De-
Paul as an assistant, Joey Meyer
has taken an increasingly larger
role in the running of the De-
Paul basketball team. He has
been the team’s principal re
cruiter and is given credit for
not only bringing the likes of
Dave Corzine, Mark Aguirre
and Terry Cummings to his fa

will all be mine to make and my
father won’t be there.”
In fact, Ray Meyer has al
ready signed to do broadcast
commentary on, you guessed it,
DePaul’s games.
“I guess that if Joey makes a
mistake, I’ll say something
about it,” the elder Meyer said
with a smile.
The decision to give Joey
Meyer the head coaching job his
father has held for the past 42
years was made three years ago.
There was, however, some ques
tion about the exact lime Joey
Meyer would take over because
his father, at age 70, was still
going strong.
But when Ray Meyer finally
decided to make it official last
year that this would be his last
season, his son began thinking
more and more of the time
when he would take over.

Kuhn calls it Quits Mad
United Press International
NEW YORK — Bowie Kuhn
hasn’t closed the door on base
ball.
Basically, the commissioner
of baseball steps down on
March 1 from the job he has
held the last 15 years. He leaves
baseball feeling the game has
been enriched by his tenure and
doesn’t exhibit the slightest bit
of rancor that a majority of ma
jor league owners wanted him
out of office.
Kuhn, who left an established
law practice in 1969 for “a labor
of love” and will be going back
to it, emphasizes that some day
he’ll return to baseball, perhaps
in the ownership or executive
role. His reentry into the sport
is not in the foreseeable future,
however.
“I’ve been offered various
positions, but have turned them
down,” Kuhn says. “But when
the baseball virus gets a hold of
me too strongly, I’ll be back.”
Kuhn said a minority num
ber of owners would have liked
him to stay on, but thosewho
opposed him would have di
minished the role of commis
sioner had he remained. He
said that “if I had accepted that
premise, I would have let them
do something they shouldn’t
have done, which was to keep
me at the price of the office.”
With an ironic chuckle, Kuhn
muses over baseball’s unending
search for his successor, calling
the situation “a long, long trail
awinding.”
“However, I recognize that
owners have set their standards
very high and that’s why it has
been difficult to find some
body.” Meanwhile, the ship has
a steady hand on the tiller
(Kuhn’s) until March 1 and it
gives them space to find some
body who will be really good.”
There has been talk that
baseball owners will name a new
dent Reagans
staff, and Peter If

Olympic Committee,
