DALLAS (AP) — After the worst January in club history, the Dallas Mavericks were back on the tele phone again Wednesday, trying to beat the NBA Feb. 23 trading dead line to improve their unraveling team. Owner Donald Carter said “stay tuned” because the Mavericks are al ready in their second week of trade talks involving just more than moody forward Mark Aguirre, who pulled himself out of Tuesday night’s game with Utah claiming sore ankles. “We’ve had some dialogue with other teams for about 10 days,” Car ter said. “I would not say a deal is im minent. But then I wouldn’t be sur prised if we made one.” The Mavs lost 99-84 to Utah last night to finish January at 4-11 and Aguirre’s announced injury did not set well with the fans. An announcement he would not play was met with heavy boos. For the first time in Reunion Arena, fans began wearing bags over their heads. Team physician Dr. Pat Evans said he could detect some swelling in Aguirre’s heel cords. Aguirre sat in the dressing room until the game was over then tried to dodge the media by exiting through a sidedoor. Although his ankles were sore, Aguirre was able to onl race most of the reporters to the exit, say ing nothing about his rumored trade to Detroit for Adrian Dantley. Aguirre’s wife, Angie, watched nearby with an amused smile. “I don’t talk trade rumors,” said the Mavericks’ personnel director, Rick Sund. The Mavs recently suffered the loss of Rolando Blac kman with a fin ger injury after Roy Tarpley had left the team for drug rehabilitation. A perplexed coach John MacLeod gave Dallas the day off before Friday night’s game at home against Phoe nix. The fans are near revolt because of Aguirre’s inability to play hurt. Center James Donaldson said “they booed us before the start of the game, they booed us before the tipoff and they booed our mistakes. They are on our case. These are dark days in Dallas.” The NCAA’s Proposition 18 minimum academic standards incoming freshmen.

Dallas Carter’s 5A state grid title faces final test in Texas legislature AUSTIN’ (AP) — Controversy surrounding Dallas Carter High School’s state football championship, which is under challenge in the courts, bounced on new turf Wednesday — the Legislature. State Rep. Fred Hill, R-Richard- son, filed a bill that would make the Texas Education Agency commis sioner the final authority in disputes over whether a student is academi cally eligible to participate in extra curricular activities. Carter won the Class 5A football title despite a determination by TEA Commissioner William N. Kirby that a student on the team had failed a class and was ineligible to play. Carter officials said the failing grade given to defensive back Gary Edwards was due to a miscalculation, and that Edwards actually passed. The Dallas school district fought the TEA, the University Interscho lastic League, and other schools Car ter defeated in the playoffs in state district court, tarter won a court or der allowing its team to continue playing football. A trial on the merits of the case is scheduled for March. House Speaker Gib Lewis signed on as a co-sponsor to Hill’s bill. “We must continue down a course that encourages academic performance. House Bill 2 will enhance that pur suit,” said Lewis. Donald Hicks, Carter’s lead attor ney in the lawsuit, blasted the propo sal. “What they’re trying to accompl ish is to run minority districts,” he said. Carter, an inner-city school of approximately 1,650 students, is predominantly black. Hicks said suburban and rural school districts are trying to beat Carter in the statehouse and court house because they can’t compete with them on the playing field. “We have a powerhouse of ath letic talent in the southern section of Dallas. The only way these guys are going to be able to come out from under it is to knock them (Carter) out on technicalities,” he said. Hill said the Carter controversy prompted the bill, but that it was not aimed at a specific school. “The Carter situation is not the real reason for this bill being filed. The reason for it is simply to stress that academics are very important to the educational system and we don’t want extracurricular activities to override the importance of academ ics,” he said. In a related development, TEA Commissioner Kirby told T he Asso ciated Press, that based on prelimi nary findings, Carter’s grading sys tem has earned a clean biU of health. homework, class participaiioi weekly tests and six weeks' ten Each area is worth 25 percentoftk grade. A student cannot recent numerical grade of less than 50( any particular assignment. But Kirby said TEA officialswn generally pleased by what ito found. “Initially they have said tomethe have found a lot of positive attrit utes. There are a lot of things tki are being tried out up there that it: really aimed at helping kids,” M said. “The one drawback that tk raised a question about had to 4 with the volume of paperwork it volved,” he said. Kirby said the fa report will be completed inthenn several weeks. After the court battle, TEA offi cials began investigating the grading system following complaints from other schools that Carter’s grading standards were too low. At Carter, students are graded on Also on Wednesday, the Univti sity Interscholastic League, whid governs extracurricular activifiest public schools, dropped its appeal the court order that allowed Cant to continue playing in the state ball playoffs. Since the playoffs are over, appeal is irrelevant, said UILa ney Lucius Bunton. Bunion saidtb UIL would continue to prepared the case in March. If the TEA and the UIL win! court fight with the Dallas schooldi trict, Carter would be stripped ofi state title.
