The Colts said they will hold Dick erson to the terms of his current contract, which runs through 1990. Part of those terms, according to Colts general manager Jim Irsay, state that Dickerson must pay the team “in excess of seven figures” should he not play this year. Meanwhile, some of Dickerson’s teammates are wondering whether the controversy already has dam aged relations beyond repair. “I don’t think he’s making it easy for himself,” quarterback Jack Tru deau said. “It won’t be like it was when he first came here, that’s for sure. Every time he makes com ments, he offends people.” Dickerson was most critical of the Indianapolis offensive line, which he said dici not protect him. He was hobbled much of the season by a hamstring injury, yet he finished third in the NFL in rushing with 1,311 yards. On Tuesday night, he told the In dianapolis News that unless he is traded, he’ll retire on April 24. “I’ll call a press conference and announce it,” said Dickerson, who indicated he stands by statements he made in a Monday television inter view in which he said he would not play for the Colts. He said his agent, Daryl Henry, “has tried to talk me into thinking about it and going back. I told him, ‘If I have to go back there, I’m through. Right after draft day, I will just announce that I quit. I retire.”' Tackle Chris Hinton, a six-titne Pro Bowl lineman, did not appre ciate Dickerson’s remarks. “I’ve got to get upset with the things he’s saying,” Hinton said. “If he’s doing it because he wants a trade or more money, he’s not going about it the right way.” “The situation has gotten to the point where it would probably be more productive if they did trade him. There are some wounds that will be pretty tough to close. I’m prdbably one of the most under standing guys. I can imagine what some of the other guys are think- in ?” “I think he’s serious about it, if that’s what it takes to get away from here,” Hinton said. “If the Colts force it to that point, I would not be irpi Di< )ickerson said Hinton nji one of the linemen — he k I name the others — hewasrelj to in his criticism. “He s one of the best linemcl The seen, in both ability and the plays with a lot of heart. Win ning back wouldn’t like sis Hintons in front of him?”I said. “But not everybodyisa Hinton.” Dickerson, who would ported $1.45 million fromtlid, this season, has received pent, until April 15 to talk with five teams — Washington, Houston, New York Giants at: Ol lay fr irst II < The libits Angeles Raiders — aboutapd ade. ~ trade.

Then, once we get back, we have to guard them one-on-one. What it comes down to is defense, re bounding and shooting free throws.” Xavier, 28-4, is coming off Sunday’s 74-41 tournament upset of Georgetown. Gillen has been telling his team to be confident but not cocky in playing Texas, 23-8. “We have to keep on top of their guards out front,” Xavier freshman Maurice Brantley said of the Texas backcourt. “If they get the ball out front and aren’t challenged, they will fire it up and they are excellent three-point shooters.” Brantley said he also hopes to help Xavier’s rebounding leaders, Tyrone Hill and Derek Strong, in grabbing missed shots. “The key is box out,” said Brantley, who sneaked his 6-foot- 6 frame between Georgetown’s 7- foot-2 Dikembe Mutombo and 6- foot-10 Alonzo Mourning to grab six rebounds in Sunday’s game. Michael Davenport, a Xavier r unior who is one of the team’s est foul shooters, said his team mates also need to concentrate on hitting their free throws. “If they foul you, make them pay,” said Davenport, whose 80.5 percent free-throw average ranks second on the team behind Strong’s 83.5 percent.

Weaver Junior Joey Wright, who led Texas in Sunday’s upset over Pur due, hopes to guide the Longhorns to another win Thursday. Coaches: mirror images Hill, a senior, is within 19 points of 2,000 for his career. He would be one of only 61 players in NCAA history to score 2,000 and grab 1,000 or more re bounds. Strong, a senior who has scored 1,264 career points, needs 12 to move past Jerry Helmers into 12th place on the Xavier scoring list. Hill, with 1,981 points, is second to all-time school scoring leader Byron Larkin, who scored 2,696 in a career ended in 1988. Strong also needs 16 rebounds to pass No. 5 Joe Viviano, with 906, on Xavier’s all-time re bounding list. DALLAS (AP) — Xavier coach Pete Gillen and Texas coach Tom Penders were once teammates on a semi-pro baseball team. They’re both East Coast guys who enjoy a good laugh. They coach an up tempo style. And they’re both hot commo dities. Real hot. In Gillen and Penders, the NCAA Midwest Regional has two of the most highly regarded young coaches in the game. Pen ders’ name already has been linked to the vacancy at the Uni versity of Florida, and hardly a basketball season goes by that Gil len’s name isn’t mentioned as a leading candidate for one open ing or another. “I don’t have much money be cause I send checks periodically out to 210 writers to mention my name every three weeks,” Gillen, 42, said Wednesday on the eve of his team’s regional semifinal against Texas. In the other semifinal, fourth- seeded and seventh-ranked Ar kansas (28-4) plays eighth-seeded North Carolina (21-12). The win ners will play Saturday for the right to go to to the Final Four in Denver. Gillen’s and Penders’ names continue to pop up for a simple reason — they’re successful. Gillen was an assistant at Notre Dame for five seasons before get ting the Xavier job in 1985. He has failed to win 20 games only once, in 1986-87, and that year the Musketeers still won the Mid western Collegiate Conference tournament and played two games in the NCAA tournament. This year, the Musketeers spent 10 straight weeks in the rankings, something no Xavier team had done. At 28-5, the Mus keteers have set a school record for victories. The Midwest Regional’s three seeds — Oklahoma, Purdi and Georgetown — are gw from the NCAA tournament, that leaves Arkansas in a riskyp sition. The Razorbacks, at No. 4,i the highest remaining seed in Midwest. Arkansas (28-4) meets Non Carolina (21-12) in the first two Midwest games Thursi night at Reunion Arena in Dalli In the second game, Xavier(284 meets Texas (23-8). W’hile the trend in the Mid» seems to portend bad things the Razorbacks, geography is their side.

It’s estimated that about percent of the NCAA regions tickets also went to Arkansas fan many of whom bought NCA ! tickets during the conferem championships. “They’re talking about itbeim like a home court for Arkansat North Carolina coach De, Smith said. “Not only the croft but the fact they’ve won sixgamt through the Southwest Conffi ence tournaments. North Carolina upset the rt gion’s top seed, Oklahoma, togf to Dallas. Xavier also will be going nj against a hometown favorite Texas, revitalized under coat! Tom Penders. Xavier ousted Nt 3 seed Georgetown, while Test eliminated No. 2 Purdue. “They penetrate and shootrea well,” Xavier coach Pete Gillti said. “They like to run, and w like to run. It should be fun.” If Arkansas is fortunaii enough to defeat North Carolina and if the Longhorns area shut down Xavier, then the W would face off for the fourth tinii this season in the final round ol the semi-finals.
