fidence coming into this tourna
ment.”
Staley overcame a 3-0 deficit in
the first set before winning six of

opening set.

DALLAS (AP) — As the Dallas Mavericks began
their training camp this week, coach Richie Adubato
knows the team faces some hard work.
New guard Lafayette “Fat” Lever and forwards Rod
ney McCray and Alex English have to be incorporated
into the team.
The Mavericks also
must improve an of
fense that was 22nd in
the league last year.
And they must work on
developing low-post
scorers to take up the
slack for departed free agent Sam Perkins.
But Adubato is determined to play to his team’s
strength: the defense that allowed a club-low 102.2
points a game, fourth fewest in the league.
Adubato met with much resistance four years ago, as
an assistant coach under Dick Motta, when he tried to
emphasize defense. He didn’t have the clout then to
change the Mavericks’ offense-oriented thinking.
But this week, as he starts his first training camp as
the Mavericks’ head coach, Adubato’s view has taken
precedence.
“My philosophy from day one has been that you are
always in the game as long as you play defense,” Adu
bato told the Dallas Times Herald.
i pi
id.
sive-minded. But I think people here now understais
the value of defense,” he said. “I think the Detroit Pi
tons are the perfect example that defense wins chain
pionships. That’s where we will continue to place ooi
emphasis.”
The Mavericks ended last season five months agi
when they were swept in three games by eventual West
ern Conference champion Portland in a first-rouai
playoff series.
That put a damper on a regular season in which tit
Mavs played nearly .600 ball (42-29) under
who took over when John MacLeod was fired 11
into the season.
Sensing the current nucleus of players only hastm
or three years left, the Mavs in the off-season gaveuf
four first-round picks —three from last June’s draft-
and $1.5 million in cash for three veterans whotheybe.
lieve put them closer to the NBA Finals.
Training camp officially starts Friday, when vetera
Mavericks gather at Southern Methodist University)
Moody Coliseum. A three-day rookie camp beganMoir
day.
Adubato said he immediately will drill his playersoi
several pressing and trapping defenses, strategies lit
could not employ last season because of time con
straints.

Dykes: Ags have a little of everything
Tech coach
realizes team
ready for Ags
LUBBOCK (AP) — Facing
two consecutive road games
against No. 19 Texas A&M
and No. 21 Arkansas, Texas
Tech does not have time to
sulk over a 21-15 loss to Baylor
and an 0-2 conference record,
said Tech coach Spike Dykes.
“You don’t have long to
have your head down if you
lose,” Dykes told his weekly
press conference Monday.
“You better get ready to play.
Our guys traditionally play at
A&M good and I see no reason
why we shouldn’t (again).”
Tech, which dropped to 1-3
overall after losing to Baylor
Saturday, has won two of the
last three games against A&M,
which is coming off a 17-8 loss
at Louisiana State.
“We are going to have to ...
play a lot better than any time
we have played this season ... if
we do, we will have a chance
(to win),” Dykes said.
“Boy, are (the Aggies) ever a
stout football team. You watch
’em play and wonder how they
could ever lose because they
have got a little bit of every
thing.”
Dykes had high praise for
the Aggies’ depth.
“They have got great speed
at the wide receivers, a super
tight end, tremendous run
ning backs, two good quar
terbacks and two offensive
lines you can’t tell much differ
ence in,” Dykes said. “They
have got more weapons than
Iraq.”
Dykes said Tech will have to
eliminate turnovers and exe-
down, was the back breaker,
Dykes said.
“You can’t turn the ball over
five times, miss two field goals
and have another one blocked
and still win a football game,"
Dykes said. “That’s enough to
choke a mule.”
In addition to the blocked
field goal, Lin Elliott missed at
tempts from 31 and 44 yards.
Two weeks ago, Elliott kicked a
37-yarder with time running
out to give Tech a 34-32 come-
from-behind victory over New
Mexico.
“The thing that won for us
last week lost for us this week,"
Dykes said. “That’s frustrat-

were converted into touch

“If he is healthy, he will go,”
Dykes said. “If Jamie is not
OK, we will go with Robert
Hall.”
Hall, a redshirt freshman
who guided the Raiders to vic
tory against New Mexico, was
25 of 47 for 328 yards and a
touchdown against Baylor.
Hall, who started in relief of
Gill, ran for another score, but
was intercepted three times.
Dykes was pleased with his
defense, which recovered four
Baylor turnovers, and fresh
man wide receiver Lloyd Hill,
who grabbed eight passes for
102 yards.
The Raiders escaped injury
against Baylor. Backup quar
terback Jason Rattan, who suf

ago, is the only player ex-

ykes said.
Dykes also learned that red-

Brad Smith, who injured his'
back during preseason, will be
out for the rest of the year.

Mets’ elimination marks era of change
NEW YORK (AP) — The end of the season
could also mean the end of an era for the New
York Mets.
“There’s going to be a lot of changes here,”
pitcher David Cone said. “But first we have to
clear the air.”
After their elimination from the National
League East race on Sunday, several Mets made
vague references to some players who wanted to
win and others who didn’t. Nobody wanted to
point any fingers, though.
“You’re not going to get me to say anything
negative,” said Howard Johnson, one of the team
leaders. “I just know there are some guys in this
room who would do anything for this team.”
New York finishes the season with a meaning
less series in Pittsburgh, and the Mets clubhouse
should be an interesting place for eavesdrop
ping. Manager Bud Harrelson likes to call it
“chirping.”
The Mets have been baseball’s winningest
team since 1984, but the farm system is drying up
and Darryl Strawberry is leaning toward signing
with another team. Strawberry doesn’t have
much to say at the moment other than “call my
agent.”
“I think he’s gone,” Johnson said. “I don’t
know anything, but the way he’s been treated,
he’s had it up to here.”
The Mets’ failure in 1990 was truly a team ef
fort.
“We underachieved and we were all guilty,”
Harrelson said. “Players, manager, front office
we all made mistakes.”
Ron Darling and Bob Ojeda shifted betwet:
the starting rotation and the bullpen most
season. Now, they’re in limbo. In April, bothsaii
the Mets’ glut of starters would become a
lem and both were right.
“It’s up to (GM) Frank Cashen,” Darling salt

We just weren’t a good enough club.”
The Mets lead the NL in runs scored, toli
