I “We’ve gotten about 25 or 30 re- ■imes and more phone calls about : the position,” Christian said. ■ In 13 years at Plafro, a suburb ||orth of Dallas, Kimbrough has a 145-22-6 record, an .856 winning Hercentage. Kimbrough coached the I Wildcats to consecutive state titles in |986 and 1987 and to the 1977 Class |A title, when it was the largest class, [lano finished 9-3 this season after sing in the second round of the (layoffs to Lakeview Centennial. “His (Kimbrough’s) record is im- iressive and he’s a high quality indi- |idual,” Christian said. But Christian declined to say that imbrough was the top candidate for the job. “He’s a real gentleman, but there jre a lot of real gentlemen in Texas,” he said. Watson asked to be reassigned in &ie school district after a 5-5 season ended the school’s streak of consec- tive winning seasons at 23. Watson ad coached at Henderson for 13 Legal victory keeps Carter’s state 5 A playoff hopes alive AUSTIN (AP) — A state district judge ruled Tuesday that a high school football player is eligible to play football for Dallas Carter, allow ing the school to continue its bid for a state football championship. “Were they fudging to make him eligible to play football?” Judge Paul Davis said in announcing his deci sion. “1 can’t find any evidence of that.” Carter will play Odessa Permian in the Class 5A state semifinals Sat urday at Memorial Stadium in Aus tin. The judge’s decision ended more than one month of controversy over the eligibility of Gary Edwards, whose grade in algebra class was changed from a failing to a passing grade as a result of confusion over grading symbols. At a hearing of the Texas Educa tion Agency and the University In terscholastic League last month, TEA Commissioner William Kirby ruled Edwards ineligible under the state’s no-pass, no-play rule. Hours later, Carter and Dallas In dependent School District officials obtained a temporary restraining or der that allowed Carter to continue play, pending the court hearing that began Thursday. “In my opinion, the commissioner of education for the state of Texas should not be in the business of looking into assigning of grades,” Davis said. “The dispute the com missioner should have been hearing was the responsibility of the school in assigning the grade. I think the school acted responsibly.” In testimony earlier Tuesday, Carter principal C.C. Russeau den ied that he changed Edwards’ grades, but acted on his interpeta- tions of a teacher’s symbols. Carter has won four playoff games since the controversy sur faced Nov. 10. Olajuwon, Rockets nip Cavs HOUSTON (AP) — Akeem Ola juwon hit a 12-foot turnaround jump shot with one second left to lead the Houston Rockets to a 106- 105 victory over the Cleveland Cava liers Tuesday night. With five seconds left and Hous ton trailing 105-104, the Rockets in- bounded the ball to Sleepy Floyd, who passed to Olajuwon on the base line. Olajuwon turned and shot a fade away jumper to provide Houston with its winning margin and snap a four-game winning streak for Cleve land. Olajuwon finished with 30 points and 15 rebounds, including all six of Houston’s points in the last 3:12 of play. Otis Thorpe had 15 points and 13 rebounds, Buck Johnson had 20 points and Floyd had 14 points and nine assists. Ron Harper led the Cavaliers with 22 points, followed by Larry Nance with 20 points and eight rebounds and Brad Daugherty with 18 points and eight rebounds. A basket by Olajuwon gave Hous ton a 103-92 lead with 2:41 left. Cleveland then scored nine straight, six by Daugherty and three by Harper, to cut the Houston lead to 103-101 with 31 seconds left. A free throw by Olajuwon put Houston ahead 104-101 with 25 sec onds left. Harper then scored one free throw and rebounded his missed free throw with 16 seconds left.

(AP) — Hotel patrons can eat m i lie Bos- For the Christmas season, a color Wednesday. But Bird, who ttalion ssifiel :5-2611 TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — try Bird, a rare sight in southern diana this time of year, was dressed a little better and driving a tier car, but people still recog- zed him “as one of the guys.” I So says Max Gibson, a Terre Haute businessman and a partner with Bird in the Boston Connection Hotel where Bird had been recuper- ing from foot surgery. : Bird, however, is no longer the |pical Hoosier. The Boston Connection is a 109- room shrine where everything from lliatchbook covers to soap wrappers ’ tries pictures of the NBA super- star. Hotel patrons can eat in 1 lie Bos ton Garden restaurant, surrounded by Bird’s trophies, magazine covers and family photographs of him growing up in French Lick, 65 miles south. Diners can shoot a few hoops from the actual center jump section of Springs Valley High School, where Bird’s career began. Place mats contain outlines of his hands, urging people tq “compare your hands to Larry’s ... the best in the NBA.” Nearby, guests can order drinks and watch Celtics games on one of three televisions in the Bird’s Nest lounge, which contains more mem orabilia. For the Christmas season, a color portrait of Bird in a Santa Claus suit has been set up in the lobby. Occasionally during the past week, the 6-foot-9 Bird wandered into the hotel dining room to chat with guests and sign autographs. But mostly he kept to himself, re laxing in his private suite, playing golf and renewing old acquaint ances. “He’s got privacy here,” said Glen Ankney, a business partner and the hotel’s general manager. “He comes here to relax.” Friends and business associates had hoped to keep him in Terre Haute for his birthday. He turns 32 Wednesday. But Bird, who under went surgery in Boston for bone spurs last month, flew back there Tuesday and was scheduled to have the casts on his feet changed Wednesday. His visit to Terre Haute marked the first time Bird, the leading scorer in Indiana State University’s history, had been back during the basketball season since he graduated in May 1979. Twice, he appeared unannounced to watch his younger brother Eddie, a sophomore, play basketball at ISU. “He’s just a typical southern In diana guy. Success hasn’t gone to his head,” said Gibson.
