Rockets chew up Suns
Olajuwon scores 30, grabs 14 rebounds
PHOENIX (AP) - The
Houston Rockets went after
Phoenix like a dog after a bone.
"It was just another gigantic
win," coach Rudy Tomjanovich
said Monday night after the
Rockets won their 10th in a row
with a 111-97 domination of the
Suns.
"We've got three left, and
we have to try to get them all,
because we'll need them all to
get ahead of Seattle."
The Rockets (54-25) stayed a
game ahead of Seattle in the
battle for homecourt advantage
between the No. 2 and 3 seeds
in the Western Conference.
And they did it in style, at
tacking with an intensity that
forced the Suns into their worst
24 minutes of the season.
"We were helping each other
on defense," said Hakeem Ola
juwon, who had 30 points, 14
rebounds and five blocks. "Our
defense really closed the mid
dle on the Suns."
Olajuwon got all five blocks
in the first half, when the Rock
ets took a 33-13 first-quarter
lead and stayed ahead 57-37 at
halftime. And Olajuwon scored
12 points in the fourth quarter,
which the Rockets entered with
an 88-67 lead.
With its fifth consecutive
road victory, Houston set a
franchise record by winning 10
straight for the second time in a
season. The Rockets went 15-0
to start a 27-4 stretch since Feb.
13.
Tomjanovich took note of
the fact the Suns played with
out Charles Barkley and
Richard Dumas.
"They are nowhere near the
team they will be in the play
offs, but we have got to take ad
vantage of every opportunity
on a tough road trip like this/'
Tomjanovich said.
Pnoenix coach Paul West-
E hal, whose team clinched
omecourt advantage through
out the playoffs on Friday, said
he didn't mind the team's
three-game skid — first of the
season — but was concerned
about its lackadaisical play.
Montana traded to Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Joe
Montana, a supreme artist at
quarterback caught in a foot
ball soap opera the past two
weeks, is finally a Kansas City
Chief.
The confusing and protract
ed saga ended Tuesday night
when the San Francisco 49ers
completed a trade with Kansas
City involving draft choices
and one other player.
"Joe Montana can bring to
us a tremendous amount of ex
perience, of leadership, the
ability to win and know what it
takes to win," Chiefs' president
and general manager Carl Pe
terson said at news conference.
Peterson and 49ers presi
dent Carmen Policy had been
haggling long distance over
compensation for the four-time
Super Bowl winner, who re
mained under contract with
San Francisco and turned
down their offer to be "desig
nated starter."
Twice in the previous 72
hours Policy had announced
that negotiations with the
Chiefs had broken off.
"I never doubted that we
could get this thing done at any
time," Peterson said.

At Miami, the university is
looking for its third AD in three
years, The stability that eharae-
teriied the 8am Jankevieh era
threugheut meat the '80§
deeshl seem t@ be there new,
whether it really is ©r net.
When sueh turnever exists at
sueh a lucrative position; others
can't help but wonder why.
Was it a clash of egos? A minus
cule budget? Looming NCAA
penalties?
For any school in the nation
that fields even a marginally de
cent football team, that third
question is unavoidable.
In most cases, including
A&M's, any fears of retribution
from the almighty NCAA are
pretty much unfounded.
The budget issue is another
one A&M has nothing to worry
about, comparatively speaking.
With the Twelfth Man Founda
tion still healthy, the A&M ath
letic budget is well in the black.
And what AD would scoff at a
university where the baseball
team breaks even when most
baseball programs are losing
meney?
in eemparisen I© lellew
8©uihwe§t genferenee sgheels
like @©uth@rn Melh@disb fttee
and Texas Christian; A&M is
filthy rich. And any ©respective
AD knows that if the »WC foldg;
the Southeastern Conference is
waiting for the Aggies with
open arms.
As for egoism, who knows?
The only way applicants find
r.
that out is by asking former em
ployees who feel like being hon
est. Of course, having an axe to
grind can skew things a bit.
Crow's predecessor might be a
case in point.
The fact here is that Crow
aid his dues as an assistant ath-
etic director, and was the logi
cal choice to succeed Jackie
Sherrill in 1988.
Crow is being completely
open about his reason for re
signing, and the fact that he will
be staying with A&M in a
fundraising capacity shows that
hard feelings did not play a part
(n his resignation,
All ©1 Inis means that A&M
administrators have n© excuse

placement, They're ©ut there
waiting for the perfect chance to
exhibit their leadership ability.
That chance exists in College
Station.
Please don't mess it up.
