to do."
Thompson would not have to
sit out next season under NCAA
transfer rules if the A&M basket
ball team is put on probation for
NCAA violations.
But he said he has chosen to
sit out next year regardless of the
NCAA's decision. Thompson
said the year off will help him
get ahead academically while
learning the OSU program and
improving himself physically.
Thompson also said he will be
able to step in after three OSU
guards graduate next year.
"That's going to be a great op
portunity," he said. "They are
expecting big things from me."
Thompson said the hiring of
new A&M coach Tony Barone
had no effect on his decision.
"We had a meeting and he
pretty much respected my deci
sion," he said. "I was thinldng of
leaving before A&M hired him."
Thompson said he plans to
keep an eye on the progress of
the A&M basketball team in the
next few years.
"Coach Barone is really going
to get it done, I think he's a great
coach and a winner," he said.
Thompson, who endured two
turbulent seasons of coaching
changes and controversy, said
he's not looking forward to leav
ing his friends and his brother
behind at A&M.
"It's going to be really tough,"
he said. "Its going to be hard on
me to leave — I love it here."
Arkansas hoopsters handed
drastically lighter penalties
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) —The yearlong team
suspensions given to four University of Arkansas
players involved in a sexual incident on campus
were drastically reduced Wednesday by the sys
tem president.
Second-team All-American Todd Day and three
teammates won't be able to play until December,
meaning they'll miss a tournament in Hawaii and
perhaps some non-conference games, B. Alan
Sugg said.
Coach Nolan Richardson broke his silence on
the matter Wednesday and said he had been pre
pared to offer his resignation to the school chan
cellor over the incident. He said Dan Ferritor told
him running away wouldn't solve the problem.
Richardson also said the publicity over the inci
dent has hurt recruiting efforts.
Attorneys for the players said they were
pleased with the ruling by Sugg. The players are
sorry for their actions, Sugg and Day's attorney
said.
Sugg said school officials “up and down the
line," including Ferritor, Richardson and athletic
director Frank Broyles, made a mistake by drag
ging their feet on the incident. Broyles was urged
oy Ferritor in February to make sure strong and
quick action was taken against the players.
Broyles and Richardson rejected the advice.
Day and teammates Darrell Hawkins, Elmer
Martin and Roosevelt Wallace were — at the mini
mum — suspended from the basketball team fora
year by the All University Judicial Board, highly
placed university sources said. They couldn't play
or practice under the ruling appealed to Sugg.
Hawkins would have been suspended from
school under the judicial board ruling, sources
said Wednesday.
A 34-year-old Springdale woman told police
she was sexually assaulted at the UA athletic dor
mitory Feb. 27, and identified the four players
The woman, who police said was drunk, did nol
press charges and Prosecutor Andrew Ziser said
evidence wasn't sufficient to file charges. The
players conceded they had sex with the woman,
out said she consented.
Sugg said his review of the hearing before the
idicial
judicial board convinced him that the woman con
sented. He declined to comment on the boards
decision, but indicated that the issue of consent
was the main point of difference between
and the board.
“I do believe that Todd, Roosevelt, Darrell and
Elmer broke a university student conduct regula
tion by participating in a degrading act by engag
ing in serial consentual sexual intercourse.'

wall into the cheap seats.
The next time Horn came up
to the plate, Ryan was still on the
mound.
In their second confrontation
of the day, the pitch was the
same, a fastball down the
middle, but this time Horn
struck out.
Unfazed by Horn's first at bat,
Ryan did what he does best and
did it aggressively. The 44-year-
old pitching wonder could have
thrown a bunch of curves and a
changeup and pitched around
Horn, but that's not Ryan.
Athletes like Ryan and Watson
seem few and far between these
days.
Oakland A's leftfielder Ricky
Henderson may be one of the
greatest players in Major League
history. He also may be one of
the biggest babies to ever play.
In the middle of a contract that
pays him less than some players
of questionable talent,
Henderson is crying foul.
He wants the A's management
to renegotiate his contract
because baseball is a business.
Henderson said. He should be
paid more than players with less
talent, he said.
Henderson, the second-
leading base stealer off all-time,
is right—baseball is a business.
And that's a good reason for
Henderson to stop complaining
and honor his contract.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger
Clemens is another great player
of today who should look
around and take a few lessons
from the old guard.
Clemens was thrown-out of
last year's American League
Championship Series after
verbally assaulting the home
plate umpire. He was suspended
tor five games at the beginning
of this season but has appealed
the decision, allowing him to
play until the comissioner's
ruling is made.
Clemens, in a public relations
move, has decided to start
signing autographs this year for
the first time in his career.
Gee, thanks Roger.
Athletes like Henderson and
Clemens should just go out and
play their best. Everything else
will take care of itself.
Mavs avoid season
sweep from Wolves
DALLAS (AP) — Derek
Harper's 20-footer with 24
seconds to play gave Dallas
the lead, and he clinched the
102-100 victory over Minne
sota with two free throws
Wednesday night, snapping
the Mavericks' eight-game
losing streak.
After Harper gave the Mav
ericks a 100-98 lead, Tyrone
Corbin missed a 12-footer for
the Timberwolves with 12 sec

after Dallas got the rebound,
and his two free throws with
10 seconds remaining gave
the Mavericks a four-point
margin.
Tony Campbell's uncon
tested basket with five sec
onds left pulled Minnesota
within two, but the Timber-
wolves failed in their bid for a
5-0 season sweep of the Mav
ericks.
Randy White and Harper
scored 17 each to lead Dallas.
Campbell scored 27 points for
the Timberwolves, who had
won four bf their previous
five.
The Mavericks pulled into a
98-98 tie with 57 seconds to
play on Rodney McCray's 18-
footer, just beating the 24-sec
ond buzzer.
Dallas held a 92-88 lead
with 5:48 remaining on James
Donaldson's two free throws,
Campbell scored four consec
utive points to tie the game at
92-92, then Pooh Richardson's
jumper gave the Timber
wolves a 94-92 edge with 4:13
to play.
Dallas trailed 62-53 early in
the third period, but out-
scored Minnesota 25-11 over
the rest of the quarter for a 78-
73 advantage entering the fi
