Motto feud again fter star forward’s ejection /■ DALLAS (AP) — Mark Aguirre, ,’Hho was shoved by teammate Derek : ; ;Harper and called a quitter and a ..■ward by Dallas Coach Dick Motta . ■ter being ejected from the Maver- : ■ks’ NBA game Saturday night with IHetroit, was contrite later. |H “I think an apology is needed,” ■giiirre said after the game, which ‘■ent to the final seconds before Dal- ...Bs pulled out a 122-1 18 victory. B “At the earliest convenience, I will B)ologize to Coach Motta and the ;'Bam for getting kicked out of such ■ important game,” Aguirre said. ^B Aguirre had 11 points on 4-of-14 SBiooting at the time of his ejection, ami Dallas had a nine-point lead. I,Benoit closed to within 67-62 by Balftime. B The game was a physical one, and referee Jack Nies had to officiate the by himself after referee Bill glaar was caught in a scuffle between iBlavericks center James Donaldson ;Bid Pistons center Bill Laimbeer in first minute of the game. Saar suffered a hyper-extended knee and wldn’t continue. Nies ejected Aguirre 20 seconds fore halftime after Aguirre com- Jained he was being roughed up ithout fouls being called. M When Aguirre walked by the ^■avericks’ Bench, Motta, kneeling pi the sidelines, told Aguirre to stay ■dm. Aguirre responded by arguing tiore. That resulted in two techni cals and an automatic ejection. Harper and Dallas guard Rolando Blackman had tried to restrain Aguirre from arguing with Nies, but Aguirre refused to listen. After Aguirre’s ejection, as the forward walked past the press table, Motta yelled, “What about the game?” Aguirre yelled back, “I don’t give a (. . .) about the game.” Later, Aguirre denied making the statement, but some of the Dallas players said they heard it. Harper, who is Aguirre’s best friend on the squad, was so upset with Aguirre that as Aguirre left the court, Harper shoved him in the back and muttered, “Jerk.” A chorus of boos rang out through the sellout crowd of 17,007 as Aguirre headed up the ramp to the dressing room. Later, Harper said, “I don’t think he was a jerk, but I think it was a jerky situation. I’ve never seen any thing like it.” Moments later, when the Maver icks went into the dressing room at halftime, several players said Motta was enraged. He yelled at Aguirre, calling him, among other things, “coward” and “quitter.” That’s similar to what Motta called Aguirre after what he considered a mediocre performance by Aguirre in December 1984 in Milwaukee — one of several well-publicized dis agreements the player and coach have experienced over the past seve ral years. Aguirre yelled back, and at that point, Donaldson positioned himself in front of Aguirre’s locker and told him to cool it, other players said. Motta continued yelling, Aguirre continued responding, and Don aldson continued telling Aguirre to cool it. One player said it took awhile, but Aguirre, looking at the 7-foot-2, 272-pound Donaldson, “eventually got the message.” Aguirre said after the game, “I don’t want to be kicked out of any game. I just thought I got hit on a couple of my shots. I just wanted to talk to the ref. I know Coach Motta was upset, and I know I will apol ogize to him. The great thing is that we won the game without me on the floor.” Motta said Aguirre used poor judgment. “He is paid to play, and I could not believe the way he acted to night,” said Motta. “It was very im mature on his part. I question the judgment of his actions. But the rest of the team pulled together, which was another step in the right direc tion.” Blackman said, “We can’t afford to lose Mark. And he shouldn’t have lost his temper. I guess he was frus trated. But the important thing is we rallied around each other and won the game.” o. 1 seed Evert Lloyd ips Shriver 6-1,6-3 lies DALLAS (AP) — Top-seeded ihris Evert Lloyd won her 149th ro tide Sunday and her first since st year’s French Open with a 6-1,6- blitz of second-seeded Pam Shriver /Vifll the finals of the Virginia Slims of ^ a i| as I Evert, rounding back into ■tampionship form after taking five jumths off from competitive tennis, won $50,000.

You could see Pam was stalling a little bit, trying to break up my rhythm. She was trying every thing, and I didn’t want to relax for a minute.” Shriver, 25, of Lutherville, Md., said she never felt she was in the match. “1 felt like 1 didn’t have a stitch of clothes on,” Shriver said. “I looked down and said, ‘Yeah, I’ve got my skirt on, yeah I’ve got a top on.’ I put on a wristband to make sure I had something on. I felt exposed out there.” Shriver said she talked to herself during the match more than usual. “When I got frustrated I talk to myself,” she said. “That was my worst match in quite a while. I hit that one good shot, wasn’t that nice? I guess I peaked a little late.” Crenshaw takes USF&G by 3 strokes NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ben Crenshaw used his reliable putter to fend off would-be challengers and score a 3-stroke victory over Curtis Strange Sunday in the USF&G Classic. Crenshaw, never headed and never tied over the final 18 holes, compiled a 5-under-par 67 and acquired the 13th title of his ca reer with a 268 total, 20 strokes under par on the Lakewood Country Club course. The victory was worth $90,000 from the total purse of $500,000 and pushed Crenshaw’s earning for the year to $227,957. Crenshaw’s total was only one off the course record. But it was not the birdies he made that won it, it was the critical saves of par down the stretch. Long noted as one of golfs premier putters, Crenshaw was at his best in the final round. Although Crenshaw found it almost impossible to keep it on the short grass over the back nine, his putter saved him. He made 4 par-saving putts on the last seven holes — the critical factor in turning back the late bid of Strange. Strange, four behind at the turn, closed to within two at one point, but needed help from Crenshaw to get closer. It wasn’t forthcoming.

The fit must be precise. You must be completely comfortable. Yet every year people spend fortunes on contacts, put them away in a drawer and never wear them. Because they’re uncomfortable. They don’t fit right. These people have never been to Texas State Optical. ¥)u can’t afford contact lenses that don’t fit right. At any price.
