Mavericks come to terms with first-round pickTorpley DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mav ericks Thursday agreed to terms on a five-year contract with first-round draft choice Roy Tarpley of Michi gan, the NBA team announced. Tarpley, a 6-foot-ll, 230-pound forward, was the seventh player taken in the June 17 draft. He is ex pected to be ready for full squad workouts Friday after arriving from Detroit Thursday night, signing the contract and taking a physical, the Mavericks said. “We’re pleased that Roy will be with us at our first veteran camp workouts,” said general manager Norm Sonju. “That was our goal all along.” Terms of the contract were not disclosed. But Sonju said it is a five-year agreement with deferred compensa tion as part of the package. Incen tives protested by Tarpley’s agents were eliminated, he said. Tarpley, a New York City native who attended Cooley High School in Detroit, led Michigan to a 54-9 re cord the past two years and back-to- back Big Ten titles. As a junior, he was the Big Ten player of the year with an average 19 points per game and a Big Ten-leading 10.4 re bounds per game. Rogers tries to leave Riggins’ shadow WASHINGTON (AP) — All George Rogers wanted was to get the opportunity to be the No. 1 running back on an NFL contender. Now he’s gotten the chance, the for mer Heisman Trophy winner rap- y is making Washington Redskins fans forget about John Riggins. Rogers, who leads the league in touchdowns with six and has rushed for386 yards, a pace that would put him over 1,500 yards this, season, gets the chance to impress his for mer team Sunday when the Redskins meet the Saints at New Or leans. That’s another thing he’s wanted to do for a long time. “When 1 was down there, I used to kid our defense that I’d love to run against them," Rogers said. “I’m “Contributing to a winning football team, that’s all I ever wanted to do since I got out of college. It sure is a better atmosphere here than it was in New Orleans. ” — George Rogers, Redskins running back pretty sure they want to stuff me pretty good.” Not many teams have contained Rogers this year. The six-year NFL veteran has been a major factor in helping the 4-0 Redskins to their best start since 1982, when they won the Super Bowl. Riggins, long a folk- hero in Washington, no longer is a topic of conversation, after being re leased during the offseason. “Contributing to a winning foot ball team, that’s all I ever wanted to do since I got out of college,” Rogers said. “It sure is a better atmosphere here than it was in New Orleans.” Rogers, drafted No. 1 by the Saints out of South Carolina, gained 4,267 yards in four years at New Or leans, but the team never had better than a .500 record. Rogers, still the Saints’ all-time leader in carries and TEXAS A&M MILEAGE MARKER TEXAS A&M College Station, Texas 74 Miles <£) 1986 A smaller version of a highway marker designating the number of MILES from your residence to A&M.

Rogers went into training camp this year confident that he would be the main man in Washington’s one- back offense. But the Redskins signed USFL star Kelvin Bryant in August, setting the stage for what appeared to be a bitter rivalry. The expected unrest never materialized, partly because Rogers accepted his role as a power runner, leaving the pass catching to Bryant, and partly because Bryant was placed on the injured reserve list af ter injuring ligaments in his knee during the second game of the sea son. The two have gotten along so well that they now live three houses apart. PREGNANT? Child Placement Center offers free counseling to help you cope with your unplanned preg nancy.
