Mavericks bounce Bulls
in fourth period, 124-116
Associated Press
DALLAS — Rolando Blackman
[scored 33 points and Sam Perkins
had eight of his 18 points in the final
period Monday night as the Dallas
[Mavericks defeated the Chicago
[Bulls, 124-116.
The Mavericks overcame a 45-
jpoint effort from Chicago’s George
Gervin, who scored just 10 points in
[the second half.
After Dallas entered the fourth
[quarter with a 94-90 lead, Perkins
contributed six quick points as the
(Mavericks opened a 106-98 margin.
[Chicago came back to within 116-
jlll on a basket by Orlando Wool-
ridge, but Blackman took over in the
last three minutes, scoring Dallas’
[last eight points.
Dallas got 20 points from Mark
[Aguirre and 15 from Brad Davis.
|The Mavericks led 63-61 at the half
[despite Gervin, whose 35 points set a
[record for a Dallas opponent in one
[half.
After the Mavericks opened an
[early 11-0 advantage, an 8-0 Bulls’
[run ending with a layup by Gervin
got Chicago back in the game. Ger
vin ended the quarter with 16
points, but Dallas still held a 32-26
lead.
A short jumper by Blackman gave
Dallas its two-point lead with 26 sec
onds to go, as Blackman finished the
first half with 18 points.
Pistons 118, Spurs 117
SAN ANTONIO — Forward
Kelly Tripucka scored 33 points, in
cluding two free throws with two sec
onds remaining, to give the Detroit
Pistons a 118-117 victory over the
San Antonio Spurs Monday night.
Tripucka scored 12 points in the
final period, including eight during
a 20-4 Pistons’ spurt. Guard Isiah
Thomas poured in 30 points for De
troit.
The Spurs were led by forward
Mike Mitchell and Steve Johnson,
who scored 36 and 28 respectively.
The topsy-turvy contest, which in
cluded long scoring streaks and
droughts by each team, could easily
have gone into overtime. But Spurs
guard Alvin Robertson missed a

team members huddled for nearly
two hours in their hotel with player
representative Brian Holloway and
his assistant, Ron Wooten.
At the meeting, members of the
American Football Conference
Champions voted to become the first
NFL team to accept voluntary drug
testing, the Globe and other sources
said. Of 59 players on the roster,
seven voted against the plan. Several
abstained, the newspaper said.
Berry was asked when the team
returned at 11 p.m. Monday night to
Logan International Airport if any
players were going to be suspended
as a result of the problem.
“Not necessarily,” Berry said. “All
of us understand what the world is
about today. It’s just something we
have to deal with.”
Among the seven in opposition to
the plan were Holloway and Woo
ten, both of whom opposed the test
ing on collective bargaining
grounds.
The National Football League
Players Association, the players’
union, has long opposed spot-testing
or any type of urinalysis examina
tion for drug use except in cases
where the team physician perceives
an individual problem or a player
has previously tested positive.
Eight NFL teams requested that
their players take post-season drug
tests this year, and all refused until
the Patriots announced their compli
ance with Berry’s request.
“Many of the players involved are
ones with important roles on this
team,” Wooten said. “We can’t af
ford to lose them. We don’t want to
players traded because of a drug
blem.”

Everyone but Ditka talking about Bear dynasty
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — His players
talked dynasty but Mike Ditka
didn’t, suggesting Monday that his
Chicago Bears would have to repeat
this year’s romp through the NFL
before they could be compared with
teams like Green Bay and Pittsburgh
of seasons past.
“I don’t believe in the word ‘dy
nasty,’ ” Ditka said at a news confer
ence the day after the Bears had
swamped the New England Patriots
46-10 in Super Bowl XX to complete
an 18-1 season. “You don’t judge a
team on one year or one playoff se
ries or one game.
“The great Green Bay teams and
the great Pittsburgh teams did it
year after year. We’re an awfully
good football team. We proved that
this year, but we’re not a dynasty
yet.”'
In fact, the Bears will be entering
lithe 1986 season bearing the
hampionship burden that’s brought
own every NFL champion this de-
ade.
Since the Steelers won their sec-
nd straight Super Bowl and fourth
verall in 1980, no NFL champion
as repeated. In fact, only the 1982
“We’re an awfully good
football team. We proved
that this year, but we’re
not a dynasty yet. ”
— Chicago Bears
Coach Mike Ditka
and 1983 Washington Redskins have
gone to two straight Super Bowls
during the 1980s.
That fact didn’t stop some of the
Bears from venting their exuber
ance after Sunday’s game.
“I think we have the makings of a
dynasty,” said Bears defensive end
Richard Dent, the Super Bowl’s
Most Valuable Player.
Chicago wide receiver Willie
Gault said, “We want to be the team
of the decade. We want to go to the
Super Bowl four or five times and
win it like the Steelers did in the
’70s.”
But while the Bears seem to have
a right to talk dynasty, so did the San
Francisco 49ers a year ago after
completing a similar 18-1 season
with a 38-16 rout of the Miami Dol
phins.
But this year, the 49ers stumbled
to 10-6, then lost to the Giants in the
NFC wild-card playoff game.
The Bears earned their title this
season by dominating the NFL’s
strongest teams.
Excluding their 38-24 loss at Mi
ami, they won eight games by an ag
gregate score of 255-40 against
teams that won 10 games or more.
Three of those games were shutouts,
and against New England in the Su
per Bowl, Dallas and Washington
the Bears scored more than 40
points.
On the other hand, Chicago got
through the season with few major
injuries to key players, afthough

ON-THE-JOB INJURIES
Even' day thousands of man hours are lost because of on-the-job injuries which cause partial
or total disablity. Sometimes the extent of the injury remains a mystery unless a specialist of the
spine and nerves conducts A thorough examination. What may appear to be a simple sprain or
strain could develop into a full-blown disablity as the misplacement of spinal vertebrae increases.
After an injury occurs, of course it is ideal for the victim to recover as quickly and as inexpen
sively as possible. Chiropractic works toward this goal.

starting corherback Leslie Frazier
suffered a knee injury Sunday that
Ditka said would require surgery.
Quarterback Jim McMahon missed
part or all of five games with a bad
back, but just about everyone else
stayed healthy.
And the Bears have the advantage
of one of the NFL’s easiest sched
ules, effectively giving them a free
pass into the 1986 playoffs.
Nobody in their own NFC Central
Division seems ready to challenge
them; they play the four teams from
the AFC Central, won by Cleveland
at 8-8, and overall, they face only
two teams — the Rams and Cowboys
— that finished above .500 this sea-
But Ditka remained cautious
Monday.
“It’s tough to repeat,” he said.
“You work very hard to get to the
top. Then you look down and ask,
‘Was the price you paid to get here
worth the reward?’ If it was, you can
get there again. I don’t think at this
point you can say you can or you
can’t. We’ll look at it next year and
know.”
