No fish tale:
Spurs rookie
a competitor
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A proud
smile crosses Sean Elliott’s, face as he
describes his exotic aquarium fish.
“Oh, I’ve got some monsters. I
mean, they’re pretty vicious,” Elliott
beamed. “I’ve got one fish that’s re
lated to a piranha. It looks just like
one.”
But if Elliott’s pet fish are fierce,
it’s nothing compared to the on-
court persona of this San Antonio
Spurs rookie, who says that in his
spare time he’s a laid back guy who
likes to play golf or simply .“waste
time.”
“It’s really hard to upset me off
the court,” the 6-8, 205-pound for
ward said. “But on the court, you
can just do anything and I’ll get up
set because I’m so intense out there.”
That intensity, said the former
Arizoria star, has been a key to ad
justing to life in the NBA, where lay
ups are tougher to make, practices
are less structured and teammates
are more like business associates
than family members.
In his short time as a pro, Elliott
has gone up against some of the best;
in the business, which he says can be
scary — if you let it.
Larry Bird and Earvin Johnson
are a couple of the superstars 21-
year-old Elliott and the new-look
Spurs have faced in regular and pre
season games.
“They know all the tricks to bury
you,” Elliott said. “They know how
to look at you, they know what to say
to you just to get you intimidated.”
But so far Elliott, already a Spurs
starter, scored 16 points and
grabbed five rebounds in his NBA
debut, the Spurs season opener win
over the Los Angeles Lakers Satur
day. And he picked up 14 points in a
Spurs loss to the Portland Trailblaz-
ers Wednesday.
Still, the No. 3 overall draft pick
who holds the Pac-10 career scoring
record with 2,555 points is trying to
improve his offensive game.
“In college I was able to take a
drive from the wing and go all the
way to the basket and maybe get a
dunk or a layup or something. Here
there’s a lot of good guys under
neath the basket, so I’ve just got to
learn to pull up and shoot a short
jumper,” he said.

Rose says he’s ready to move on
CINCINNATI (AP) — Pete Rose says he’s no longer
interested in telling his side of the gambling scandal
that led to his lifetime ban from baseball.
“It’s over in my mind,” he said. “And my life’s going
to go on.”
However, he did reveal that he never declared his
racetrack winnings on his income taxes — as required
by law — because he always lost money in the long run.
Rose also said during a telephone interview Thurs
day that he’s had no recent discussions with federal
prosecutors conducting the grand jury investigation of
his taxes.
In another interview Wednesday, Rose said he was
getting psychiatric help for a gambling problem.
The former Cincinnati Reds manager and baseball’s
all-time hit leader was banned by baseball on Aug. 24
for illegal betting.
Although his baseball career is over for now, Rose
still is being investigated by a federal grand jury in Cin
cinnati trying to determine whether he claimed all his
income from memorabilia sales, autograph appear
ances and gambling.
Representatives from the Justice Department and
the IRS interviewed him several times earlier this year,
he said.
In explaining why he didn’t claim his racetrack win
nings on his taxes, Rose said:
“I didn’t approach the track as a business. 1 see
go over there that don’t have a job, and they colled
ery ticket and they stamp it to their program andsn
like that and they file at the end of the year (ontl
taxes).

“I’m not a bookkeeper. You just don’t have timei

because I won a hell of a lot more than I lost in a yd I p-
then I’d do something to have a record of it. Butltt

and forced the Aggies to punt.
The Irish first team won’t even
need to show up for this one. Notre
Dame Coach Lou Holtz is a nice guy,
and won ? t try to run up the score.
However, with a team as talented as
the Irish, the third-stringers will
have something to prove, and will be
trying to score.
It’s a no-win situation for the Ir
ish. No football fan in the nation
doubts that they’re better than SMU
in every aspect of the game, and yet
if they’re merciful (or unlucky)
enough to not cover the 55 point
spread, they’ll be ridiculed for not
playing well enough. If they do run
up the score, and they may not have
a choice, you’ll hear every bleeding
heart in the nation saying that Holtz
should have been more generous.
No matter how easy the Irish take
it on the Punies, SMU won’t be able
to satisfy everybody. Holtz should
know better, he should have tried to
get out of this fiasco.
True, SMU wouldn’t be happy
about losing the revenue that being
thrown to the Irish will bring them,
but Lou is a quick thinking guy. He
could have gotten out of it if he had
tried. It would’ve only taken one
phone call.
“Hello, Coach Gregg? This is Lou
Holtz. Yeah, the game . . . That’s
what I wanted to talk to you about.
You see, our team bus broke down,
and we can’t make it.”
“What are you talking about? You
don’t have to travel, the game is in
South Bend.”
“Oh, yeah right. Well, what I
meant to say is that we can’t play be
cause . . . well, the whole team came
down with a case of the . . . uh . . .
small pox. Yeah, the darndest thing
I ever saw.
“Really? That’s terrible.”
“Yeah, it’s so contagious that you
probably shouldn’t even come to In
diana. Pity we can’t play you guys —
the team was reallly looking forward
to it.”
“Gee Lou, we were looking for
ward to it, too.”
“Well, our junior varsity has an
open date ...”
