Dallas falling from NBA elite,
hoping for quick turnaround
Ex-Olympic diver
sentenced to prison
exas
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mav
ericks are wondering what disaster
will strike next.
They suffered the worst NBA
home loss in their history on Sun
day, humiliated 118-93 by the Los
Angeles Lakers on national tele
vision.
Last week they lost guard Rolando
Blackman for almost three weeks
with a finger injury.
Earlier in January, forward Roy
Tarpley, the best sixth man in the
league, entered a drug rehabilitation
center.
Forward Mark Aguirre has hinted
he would like to be traded.
On Dec. 29 the Mavs beat Boston
at home 131-115 to run their record
to 17-9.
Since then the Mavs have fallen
out of first place in the Midwest Divi
sion to fighting for their lives to gain
a playoff berth.
They are 4-10 in January. Dallas
had a string of 17 straight months of
records over.500.
“You haven’t heard the word
‘elite’ thrown around here in a long
time,” said Dallas center. James Don
aldson. “We are really struggling in
the scoring department.”
The Mavs took the Lakers to a
seventh game of the Western Con
ference finals but Donaldson said
Dallas isn’t in the same league right
now.
“It’s obvious we are no threat to
them,” he said. “But they still took
things out on us.”
Dallas has lost all three games
against the Lakers this year.
Guard Derek Harper said the
Mavs need to awaken quickly.
“We’ve got to come back and put
forth a blue collar effort,” Harper
said. “We are trying but it’s just not
coming together. We’ve got to find a
way to regain our lost confidence. If
we don’t the season will get away
from us.”
The Mavs’ high point scorer
against Los Angeles was Aguirre
with only 16. It was the lowest out
put by a Dallas leading scorer this
season.
Aguirre’s output has been way off
his form of last season.
He is under 20 points in 17 games
for the season with over three
months left. He was under 20 points
only 17 times all of the 1987-88 cam
paign.
The Mavs are 15-8 at home with
23 games remaining.
Last year Dallas was 33-8 in Reun
ion Arena.
“These aren’t the Mavericks that
we know,” said Los Angeles’ James
Worthy. “Their crowds don’t even
seem to be in the game. It’s the qui
etest I’ve ever seen Reunion Arena.
Oilers’ Jones joining Detroit staff
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Former
Olympic diver Bruce Kimball on
Monday was sentenced to 17 years in
prison for a high-speed drunken
driving accident last summer in
which he plowed into a group of
teen-agers, killing two and injuring
four.
“You must suffer the conse
quences of drunken driving. We
must stop it. We can’t seem to get a
hammer on it,” Hillsborough Circuit
Judge Harry Lee Coe III told the
1984 Olympic silver medalist.
Calling the Aug. 1 accident a “ter
rible, terrible tragedy,” the judge
said he hoped the sentence would
“scream out to young people” about
the dangers of drunken driving.
Coe revoked Kimball’s drivers li
cense and said his prison term would
be followed by 15 years probation to
include community work aimed at
teaching young people the dangers
of alcohol.
A model prisoner could expect to
serve one third of his sentence,
which means Kimball could be free
in five or six years, according to de
fense attorney Fran Quesada.
Kimball was legally drunk the
night his speeding sports car
slammed into a crowd of some 30
teen-agers on a dark dead-end street
at a site known was “the spot,” a pop
ular hangout for teen-agers in sub
urban Brandon, Fla.
Prosecutors said he roared down
the narrow road at about 75 mph
and skidded 397 feet from point of
impact, hurling victims 30-60 feet,
sideswiping several cars and leaving
a trail of blood.
Kimball, dressed in a blue jail uni
form, stood impassively before the
judge. He said nothing and did not
visibly react when the sentence was
read.
Kimballs’ attorneys threw him on
the mercy of the court after the 25-
year-old athlete interrupted the start
of his trial Jan. 11 and in a surprise
move switched his plea to guilty on
two counts of driving under the in
fluence manslaughter and three
counts of causing great bodily injury
while driving under the influence.
He has been in jail since.
On Monday, Kimball changed his
plea again, this time to no contest, a
technical move aimed at making it
easier for victims to recover damages
from his automobile insurance com-
pany.
Top back
in Texas
picks Baylor
88 I'
GUERO (AP) — Robert Straii,
touted as the state’s top higi
school running back and the No.
3 rusher in national schoolboi
history, decided Monday to plat
college football at Baylor.
Strait, a member of The Asso
ciated Press Super All-State foot-
ball team, rushed for 1,421 yards
last season, giving him a careet
total of 8,404 yards, second in
Texas schoolboy history behind
Sugar Land’s Kenneth Hall.
“I decided to go to Baylor be
cause it has an excellent program® \BILFN
The coaches are real nice. I want Heling jet 1
to be with a program that 1 can i, ()1) le abo;
help build up,” Strait said. ■ lines on t
"It came down to Baylor and |] r Force
USC (Southern California),' l 0 pl e , the
Strait said in a news conference ffjhe plan

by what my heart thought.’’ lft: r “ lt ]<)
Strait said he felt more com.
fortable at Baylor than the other
schools and didn’t feel like be
wotdd be a “just a number” there,
Baylor quarterback Brad Goebel
also is from Cuero.
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Oil
ers quarterback coach June Jones,
credited with building the Oilers of
fense into the second-highest scor
ing team in the NFL last season, said
Monday he was leaving to become an
assistant coach with the Detroit Li-
Jones, 35, becomes the second as
sistant on the Houston staff to leave
this month. Receivers coach Milt
Jackson departed last week to take a
similar job with Indianapolis.
Jones had been with the Oilers for
two years and before that coached in
the old United States Football
League and was an assistant with the
University of Hawaii. He also played
and coached with Toronto of the Ca
nadian Football League.
“Because Detroit’s offense has
been down for so long, the opportu
nity to coach there and turn things
around intrigued me,” Jones said.
He also noted, however, that he
would be rejoining old colleague
Mouse Davis, added late in the sea
son to the staff of the Lions, one of
the league’s doormats.
Jones said the Oilers had “bent
over backwards” to keep him in
Houston and that his decision did
not come down to money.
“Actually, the offer I’ve accepted
with Detroit is less than what the Oil
ers were offering,” he said.
Jones was instrumental in instal
ling Houston’s “Red Offense,” a
four-wide receiver formation that
helped make the Oilers one of the
most potent offenses in the league.
“June did a very good job for us,”
Houston coach Jerry Glanville said.
