Lanier opts
for UCLA
ABILENE (AP) — Mike Lan
ier, the nation’s tallest college bas
ketball player at 7-foot-6, ended
months of an intensive recruiting
battle Monday by announcing he
would transfer from Hardin-Sim-
mons to UCLA.
“I definitely want to play in the
NBA, and you can get a whole lot
of exposure from going to
UCLA,” Lanier said shortly be
fore holding a news conference.
Louisiana State, Hawaii, Wash
ington and Washington State led
a list of about 25 schools that tried
to lure Lanier to their respective
campuses.
Lanier, who has two years of el
igibility remaining, said he
cleared any previous doubts
about transferring to UCLA and
is “very excited” about playing for
a school immersed in basketball
tradition.
Lanier, 20, canceled a Friday
news conference to announce
plans to transfer to UCLA, say
ing, “some problems came up.”
“It’s a personal matter, so I
don’t really have any comment
about that,” Lanier said Monday.
“I had to check some things out,
and everything turned out fine.”
Dennis Harp, head basketball
coach at Hardin-Simmons, said
Lanier had been exposed to “neg
ative recruiting” by some un
named schools and needed a few
extra days to make sure of his de
cision.
Lanier, who weighs about 285
pounds, said he will sit but next
year or “redshirt” to bulk up and
“raise my level of play to UCLA’s
level.”
A native of Troy, Mich., Lanier
averaged seven points and five
rebounds a game last season as a
sophomore at Hardin-Simmons,
which plays in the Trans-Ameri
can Athletic Conference.
Despite starting 22 of 28 games
last season, Lanier’s lack of sta
mina held him to a playing aver
age of 15 minutes per game.
Coaches said Lanier could not
sustain the pace of an up-tempo
game and was often used only in
a half-court offense.

Fear of flying gives Nuggets' ^
coach time to devise strategy* 8
DENVER (AP) — Weary road
warrior Doug Moe made the 900-
mile drive back to Denver and im
mediately began charting a course
aimed at helping his Nuggets find
their way back into playoff conten
tion.
After bowing to the San Antonio
Spurs 119-103 and 129-120, the
Nuggets face elimination unless they
can right themselves Tuesday night
at McNichols Arena in Game 3 of
the best-of-5 opening-round West
ern Conference series.
A fourth game, if necessary, also
would be played in Denver, on
Thursday.
Moe had plenty of time to plot
strategy after Saturday night’s Game
2 loss. He and his wife, Jane, began
the grueling 15-hour drive home
from San Antonio on Sunday morn
ing. After an overnight stop in
Pueblo, Moe arrived in Denver at 9
a.m. Monday, in time for his squad’s
light workout.
It was Moe’s fear of flying, cou
pled with unsettled weather in the
area, that caused him to choose a
land route to and from San Antonio.
“I hate to fly,” he said, “and I’ve
never minded driving. We would
have made it all the way on Sunday
except for a major-league snows
torm in southern Colorado.
“There’s no place better to drive
on Earth than Texas. They’ve got
wide roads, little traffic, and the peo
ple are courteous — they’ll move
over for you.”
So what game plan did Moe devise
during the Tong trip?
“To win, we’ve got to score more
points than they do,” he cracked.
“You can’t get any more basic than
that, right?
“Seriously, we’ve got to play good
defense, we’ve got to open the game
up, we’ve got to rebound well
enough so we can get out and run,
and we’ve got to shut off their inside
game.”
To achieve the latter, Moe will in
sert the physical presence of forward
Tim Kempton into the starting
lineup, replacing the inconsistent Je
rome Lane.
“Tim is more consistent, and he
played well Saturday night,” Moe
said. “With Jerome, you never know.
Sometimes he has it, sometimes he
doesn’t.”
Besides scoring 10 points in just
15 minutes in'Game 2, Kempton
gave the Nuggets some of the tough
ness they have been missing. When
San Antonio guard Rod Strickland
drove to the hoop for a certain
layup, Kempton wrapped his arms
around the ball and Strickland and
brought him back to the floor. The
aggressive foul prompted a con
frontation with the Spurs’ Terry
Cummings.
“Kempton made everybody mad,”
Spurs coach Larry Brown said. “In
addition, he played really well.”
The Nuggets probably will agi:
be without center Dan Schayes, wh LO\
missed the first two games with i ’
sprained ankle and didn’t panit;K eI ) tu

Tyson looks to future in HBO doubleheader

NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Tyson is back. The swol
len left eye is healed and so is the spirit.
Both were dented rather decisively by Buster Doug
las in Tokyo last February — a beating that cost Tyson
the heavyweight championship.
The ex-champion prefers to look ahead, though, to a
10-round June 16 date at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas
against Olympic gold medalist Henry Tillman. The
other half of the HBO doubleheader sends another ex
champ, George Foreman, against Adilson Rodrigues.
The card will be co-promoted by longtime rivals Don
King, who handles Tyson, and Bob Arum, who has
been masterminding Foreman’s comeback. Tyson
opened as a 15-1 betting choice at the Caesars Sports
Book, with Foreman listed at 7-1. Tyson is unim
pressed.
“I was 100-1,” he said of the Douglas debacle.“You’re
successful for a time, eventually, you get your head
handed to you. There’s another day. You go on. Fight
ers don’t fear losing. They fear getting humiliated.
“The loss was a shock at first. But you realize oUrbiith,
fighters lost. You take it from there. It took me twodavjFmt
to get over it. I had 37 good nights and one bad nigliiwetch
I’m sure I’ve got more good ones in me.” I The
Tyson blamed himself for the loss to Douglas. "Sif - Gil.

If the rest of the boxing world was stunned by Dougl He

ex-champ not once, but twice in the 1984 Olympicbox-F 1111 * 1 '

was not invincible, even before Douglas proved it. prdViai

NASA trainee
Carmen Otte and
her favorite
space vehicle.
When Aeronautical Engineering junior Carmen
Otte talks about her 1982 Volkswagen Jetta,
it's only natural that she begins with space.
"I like its size, especially the trunk. A big trunk
is important when you go away to school and
have to carry practically everything you own.
'And I love Jetta's space inside. It's roomy,
comfortable. Last year I drove 200 miles
each way to a summer job at NASA. I'm glad
I was in my Jetta."
Of course, there's more to Carmen's Jetta
than space. "My car has over 200,000 miles on
it. It doesn't cost much to operate and it's good
looking. I think Volkswagens are excellent cars
for college students."
Since Carmen hopes to design spacecraft
someday, we had to ask her what kind of vehicle
she envisions in the future.
"That's easy. A red Volkswagen Cabriolet
convertible. I've already got one picked out
for graduation."
The VCI College Graduate Finance Plan makes owning
or leasing a Volkswagen easier than ever before. And
you may not need a credit history to qualify. Visit your
authorized Volkswagen dealer for details.
