The water temperature is rising as spring rolls along, and hefty female largemouth bass, that don't appreciate lures near their precious nests, are in the act of spawning. Some of the excellent fishing that will take place at Gibbons Creek this spring, can take place from the bank if the fisherman plays his or her cards right. Guide Jim Butler says that there are several areas accessible to fishermen without boats, but some degree of discretion should be used when fishing from the bank. "Female bass spawn in real shallow wather and many peo ple don't realize this," Butler said. "It's very important not to wadefish this time of year be cause by doing so, you may be destroying young bass." JEFF GREGG Outdoors tail can be very productive this time of year as well as topwaters like a fire tiger Thunderstick," said Butler, "But the key is to fish real slow. The slower you he The large females sit on "beds" and are often visible from the bank in water as shal low as six inches. By wading through shallow areas, it is easy to see how a person could severely damage a bed. Dogs ca pable of retrieving objects thrown into the lake by their owners may also pose a problem to spawning fish. Butler suggests staying out of the water and casting parallel to the bank with a variety of differ ent artificial lures including lizards and hard stickbaits. "A black lizard with a blue fish, the better chance you have at landing a big fish." Rig the lizard as you would a Texas rig, but instead of using a sliding bullet weight, pinch a small split shot 12-18 inches above the lizard. Butler said that this will draw more attention from the big female bass and produce more strikes. Another good idea this time of year is to have you camera and scale on hanef. Since the fish are spawning, keeping a fish will reduce the number of hatchlings that will emerge in the coming weeks and go on to become trophies them selves. By weighing the fish, taking a picture of it and releas ing it, the future of fishing will be safe for everyone to enjoy. Gooden finds We touch as Mets beat Astros Contim Likt KISSIMMEE, Fla.

"We welcome his addition to our staff," general manager Pete Babcock said. "We believe his fa miliarity with the Hawks is an as set." Babcock said the job is strictly for the draft and "we will see where we are afterwards." Babcock said he assumed Chaney wanted to return to coach- vttlanta Hawks ing next season. Chaney spent the 1987-88 sea son as an assistant to Mike Fratello on the Hawks' staff. He was named coach of the Rockets on June 13,1988. Chaney was named the NBA s Coach of the Year last season after the Rockets finished 51-31 despite the absence of Hakeem Olajuwon for a large portion of the season. Babcock said Chaney will be gin his work with the Hawks on April 7 at the Portsmouth, Va., in vitational, where college players entering the draft will work out before NBA scouts. York Mets beat the Houston A; tros 3-1 Wednesday. Gooden (1-0) allowed three hits and a walk. Hestrudl out three. Of his 57 pitches,3s were strikes. Gooden said he felt no pain® his shoulder after his second offi- cial spring outing. He also has pitched in a simulated gameanda "B-game" "There's still no discomfort," he said. "The main thing was! was able to throw to spots as the game went on. " New York gave Gooden a 1-i lead in the second inning. Pecota walked with one out, stole second and went to third on catch er Eddie Taubensee's throwing er ror. After Chris Donnels walked, Rodney McCray's grounder scored Pecota. Steven Finley's two-out single scored Taubensee in the third and pulled the Astros even. With Daryl Boston on first base in the sixth, Mackey Sasser singled to right field. Pete Incaviglia's throw to the infield went into the photographer's box, allowing Boston to score the go-ahead run. New York's Paul Gibson fol lowed Gooden and allowed one hit in three innings.

It go Weaver Aggies' Olajuwon says hamstring needs more time to heal HOUSTON (AP) — Suspended Houston Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon says it may be three weeks before his injured hamstring will allow him to resume playing. "The people I have asked, who have had the same problem, say it usually takes them about three weeks when they have had pulled hamstrings," Olajuwon said. "It's not going to be overnight. It feels better but the improve ment has been very little." The Rockets suspended Olajuwon on Mon day because the six-time All-Star center re fused to suit up after doctors cleared him to play on Saturday. Olajuwon claims his ham string is still too tender to run normally. Leonard Armato, Olajuwon's agent, says he plans to file a grievance with the NBA Play ers Association. Olajuwon remained in Houston to get treatment and to work out after the team de parted on a three-game road trip that included Tuesday night's 128-106 loss to Seattle. The Rockets play at the Los Angeles Clip pers Thursday night and at PortlancT on Satur day before returning to the Summit on Tues day against the Los Angeles Lakers. A three-week recovery period for Olaju won would mean April 9 would be the earliest he could return with six games would remain in the regular season. The Rockets have accused Olajuwon of us ing the injury as leverage for his contract de mands. Olajuwon is under contract through the 1994-95 season and is attempting to get a one year extension at $15 million, which includes a $3 million signing bonus. Olajuwon will earn $3.8 million this season and would lose about $600,000 if he sat out the rest of the season. "I'm not going to lose any money," Olaju won said. "That's what they are attempting to do, but it won't work." Patterson said Olajuwon was attempting to make the dispute a one-on-one battle. "A star player doesn't have to like the gen eral manager of the team," Patterson said, "Look at all the stuff Michael Jordan says about Jerry Krause (Bull's general manager) All they did was win a championship." Rockets guard Sleepy Floyd, the club's player representative, thinks Olajuwon would nave a good chance to win a grievance case. "My personal feeling is that it's har&totell someone he's not injured," Floyd said. Floyd said he thinks Olajuwon will rei to the club this season. I "We expect him to miss the normal titett a guy with a hamstring pull," Floyd said. Hornets hand Spurs 113-108 defeat Gill scores 28 to keep Charlotte in playoff chase; Robinson sits out from injury CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Kendall Gill scored 28 points as the Charlotte Hornets took advan tage of the absence of All-Star cen ter David Robinson Wednesday night for a 113-108 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Robinson sat out the game with sprained ligaments in his left thumb. It was the first time in his 232-game career that he has been out of the lineup. In his absence, Terry Cum mings had 34 points and 15 re bounds for the Spurs, while An toine Carr had 21 points. It was the eighth win in 11 games for the Hornets and the 10th victory in their last 11 home games. Clinging to a 73-72 lead in the third quarter, Charlotte closed the period with a 12-2 run, behind eight points from Dell Curry, to pull ahead 85-74. A tip-in by Atoine Carr closed the Spurs to 101-97 with 3:01 left, but they got no closer. Curry finished with 20 points and Kenny Gattison 19 for the Hornets, whose reserves outscored the Spurs' bench players 41-11. At the 4:05 mark in the second quar ter, Larry Johnson's slam dunk gave the Hornets a 42-37 lead. He tossed the ball to an official, said something to him and was called him for a technical foul. Hornets coach Allan Bristow immediately stormed the court and confronted official Bruce Alexander. The official whistled him for two quick technicals, giv ing Bristow an automatic ejection. The Spurs made one of the three technical free throws and Cum mings added a layup to pull San Antonio to 42-40. J.R. Reid an swered with eight straight Hornets points to put them ahead 52-48 at half time. The win. put Charlotte 21/2 games behind New Jersey for the eighth and final Eastern Confer ence playoff spot. But Gattison said the Hornets aren't thinking about the playoffs. "We're trying to keep ever) I game in perspective," Gattisoni said. "We're not getting thepap er every morning and looking to see j if New Jersey lost." Much of the postgame was about Bristow's ejection. "I asked the official why rtwasl such a quick technical on John son," assistant coach Bill Hanzl| said. "The official said Larry ha said some things prior to that was a buildup thing." Gattison flourished in themW' die without Robinson to hinder him. Gattison had 11 rebounds. "We knew they would stills tough without David," said. "Antoine Carr is tough. Th e ) | really didn't miss his scoringh' his presence in the middle." <* " CONTACT LENSES ONLY QUALITY NAME BRANDS (Bausch & Lomb, Ciba, Barnes-Hind-Hydrocurve) oJ' / 4^C % $ 138°°* TOTAL COST ...INCLUDES EYE EXAM, FREE CARE KIT, STD.
