Dickerson sets deadline for trade
iun
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Despite
facing a $1-million fine by the India
napolis Colts, running back Eric
Dickerson says he'll retire on April
24 unless he’s traded.
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

MARCH MADNESS
Xavier wary
of Longhorns’,
Mays quickness
CINCINNATI (AP) — Xavier
University’s Musketeers say they
will be hoping to counter the
quickness of the Texas Long
horns when the teams play
Thursday night in a NCAA tour
nament semifinal game in Dallas.
“We have to concentrate on the
areas in which they excel,” Xavier
coach Pete Gillen said.
“First, we have to get back on
defense because they are so quick,
like Loyola Marymount. 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.

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. The Southwest Coo
ference tournament w
Reunion Arena, and an estimate
80 percent of the fans wl
bought tickets were fromArb:
sas.
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.
In other East Regional tourna
ment action, Connecticut "’ n!
meets Clemson (26-8), and Duk
(26-8) plays UCLA (22-10). Tk
winners play Saturday night
the right to go to the Final F
