Rockets need guardL^
for winning season [Tq,
HOUSTON (AP) —The Houston
Rockets achieved some long-range
goals in the off-season, giving a 6-
year, $12 million contract to Ralph
Sampson, who joins fellow Twin
Tower Akeem Olajuwon, already
signed through 1988.
Owner Charlie Thomas signed a
lease extension on Oct. 19 that will
make The Summit home for the
Ro?kets through 2003.
Now it’s up to Coach Bill Fitch
and General Manager Ray Patterson
to solve the short-term problem of
rebuilding the team’s guard corps.
The Rockets open the season Fri
day against San Antonio in The
Summit.
Houston has been deficient at the
guard position since John Lucas,
Louis Lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins
left the club because of drug prob
lems over the past two seasons.
The cast of characters for Fitch’s
guard revue has been extensive,
ranging from 12-year veteran World
B. Free to diminutive Andre
Turner, to Lester Conner, a former
Golden State No. 1 pick.
Turner, at 5-9, 159, has been a
surprise during training camp, mak
ing up in speed what he lacks in size.
He’d like to accomplish with the
Rockets what Spud Webb has done
at Atlanta.
Turner wants to prove he won't
be a defensive liability.
”1 know that’s something the
coaches worry about,” Turner said.
“That’s what teams try to do against
Spud. The little guy has to compen
sate by fighting and scratching.
“We have to start on the other end
of the floor and play aggressive de
fense for 70 or 80 feet before our
man gets to the post-up position.”
Turner, who played at Memphis
State, failed in attempts to play for
the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston
Celtics last season andspenifc
in the Continental Bas
ciation.

game.

DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mav
ericks won 55 games and their NBA
Midwest Division last year, yet came
to a fatal finish.
They were stunned in the first
round of the playoffs by Seattle and
lost Coach Dick Motta in the second-
guessing fallout because of it.
Motta, who had been embroiled in
frequent spats with star Mark
Aguirre, resigned and never went
public with his reasons. Motta had
been the Mavericks’ only head coach
since Dallas obtained an expansion
franchise.
The big question mark for the
team this year is whether new coach
John MacLeod can put all the pieces
back together again.
MacLeod was fired after nearly 14
seasons with the Phoenix Suns.
Only Red Auerbach, who coached
the Boston Celtics for 16 seasons,
had a longer continous service with
one club in NBA history.
MacLeod, 50, was 579-543 with
Phoenix and directed the Suns to
nine playoff berths. His 1975-76
team lost to Boston in the NBA fi
nals.
“Dick built a great winning tradi
tion and I hope to carry on that tra
dition and hopefully get the Maver
icks up to the next level,” MacLeod
said.
Although he contends “it makes
no sense to make dramatic changes,”
he is hoping Dallas can run more
like the Los Angeles Lakers.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) —
Thomas Hearns will try to become
the first boxer to win titles in four
weight classes when he fights Juan
Domingo Roldan tonight.
At stake will be the World Boxing
Council middleweight
championship, which became vacant
when Sugar Ray Leonard retired af
ter upsetting Marvelous Marvin
Hagler last April 6.
On hand for Hearns’ bid to make
history will be Leonard, who
stopped Hearns in the 14th round of
a battle for the undisputed wel
terweight championship in 1981,
and Hagler, who knocked out
Hearns in the third round of an un
disputed middleweight title defense
in 1985.

Leonard will attend as a spectator,
while Hagler will be a commentator
on the closed-circuit and pay-per-
view telecast of the scheduled 12-
round bout at a 10,100-seat outdoor
stadium at the Las Vegas Hilton.
“I’m evaluating the situation,”
said Hagler, who is a possible oppo
nent for the winner. “I want to sit
back, watch these guys and see what
happens.”
“This fight will put me above ev
eryone else out there,” the 29-year-
old Hearns said. “This fight defi
nitely will make up for those two
losses.”
Hearns, an 8-5 favorite, is one of
10 men to win at least pieces of three
titles. Six of those 10 won their third
titles in the 1980s when the number
of weight classes doubled from the
traditional eight and most cham
pionships have been been split.
