will have one at The Ballpark in
Arlington, where the Texas
Rangers will begin playing next
month.
The company uses the facility
for entertaining clients or
prospective customers as well as
rewarding its own employees.
"It seems to work very well on
both fronts," Good said.
Dallas Mayor Steve Bartlett
said he discussed the possibility
of a new stadium with Stars own
er Norman Green during negotia
tions for the team's move to Dal
las from Minneapolis.
"I promise everyone that
when the market requires a new
facility, Dallas is not going to
watch that facility go to the sub
urbs," he said.
The Stars practice in Irving,
where they plan to build corpo
rate offices. That city lured the
Cowboys from Dallas more than
20 years ago. Arlington has beat
en back attempts by Dallas and
other cities to lure away the
Rangers.
Dallas will have to develop
political support for a new stadi
um, which probably would re
quire several financing methods,
including revenue bonds.
San Antonio financed its new
$186 million Alamodome, which
became home to the Spurs, with a
half-cent sales tax.
Adams wants Houstonians,
who so far have been lukewarm
to the idea, to ante up $160 mil
lion for his facility while the Oil
ers contribute $75 million.
Adams is courting support
from Houston Rockets owner Les
Alexander. The Rockets play at
The Summit, but Alexander has
said he wants a building with
twice as many lower-level seats,
luxury suites and a better lease.
Mayor Bob Lanier, who has
not taken a position on the issue,
said he doesn't want tax dollars
used, although he hasn't ruled
Out using such sources as hotel
taxes or gambling revenues.
Andrews says that corpora
tions recently have been paying
for some construction of a new
facility, making it a more attrac
tive proposition to cities leery of
picking up the tab themselves.
For example. United Airlines
is paying to put its name on the
new home of the Bulls and the
Blackhawks. The teams, which
play at Chicago Stad.ium, are
scheduled to start their next sea
sons at the $175 million United
Center.
Andrews said United's title
sponsorship means the carrier's
logo will be plastered around the
arena, which even will include an
airline ticket office.
Hardings'lawyers attempt to
block USFSA disciplinary hearing Tuesda}
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. - Tonya
Harding's lawyers went to court
today in an attempt to block
Thursday's disciplinary hearing
before the U.S. Figure Skating
Association.
The attorneys filed papers
seeking a temporary restraining
order and preliminary injunction
to prevent the USFSA from tak
ing any action that would keep
Harding from participating in
the World Figure Skating Cham
pionships.
The championships are sched
uled March 22 in Chiba, Japan.
The motion filed in Multnom
ah County Circuit Court con
tends Harding has not had the
opportunity to adequately pre
pare her defense. It also argues
her participation in the discipli
nary hearing would prejudice
her position in the criminal in
vestigation into the Nancy Kerri
gan attack.
Harding's ex-husband, Jeff
Gillooly, has said she gave her
approval for the attack during
the U.S. national championships
in Detroit. Harding has denied
that, saying she learned only af
ter returning that Gillooly was
involved in planning the attack
on Kerrigan.
Today's motion also asks the
court to bar the USFSA from
conducting any disciplinary
hearing against Harding before
the criminal investigation and
prosecution in the Kerrigan case
is completed.
The USFSA quickly filed a re
sponse in state and federal court,
seeking to move the action tc
U.S. District Court in Portland.
The USFSA's "unilateral, pre-
mature setting of the hearing
date, and its insistence that
plaintiff be prepared to defend
herself in Colorado Springs on
March 10, 1994, is unreasonable,
arbitrary and capricious," the 10-
page complaint said.
No hearing was set immedi
ately.
A five-member hearing panel
is set to meet Thursday to deter-
mine whether Harding should
be kicked out of the USFSA for
her involvement in the Kerrigan
attack.
The panel already has found
reasonable cause to believe
Harding was in on or knew of
the plot.

Question
Continued from Page 7
Erin, my roommate, about
renting it. You know, macho
guy stuff. I told him we should
get a man's movie and not a
chic movie like that.
The movie was all about this
writer, played by Eric Stoltz
(best known for his role in
"Mask"), who broke his neck in
a hiking accident. He could
move his upper body, but below
the waist he was paralyzed.
Throughout the movie he has
problems coping with his para-
lyzation and dealing with his
girlfriend, played by Helen
Hunt (from "Mad About You").
Stolz's character says in the
movie, "I hate her (Hunt) be
cause she can walk."
I felt I could identify a little
with Stolz's character. Writing
is one of my other passions,
even though I'll probably never
sell anything I write.
I've thought, even before
watching this movie, about
what I would do if I couldn't
walk or move or anything. One
of the worst fears I could think
of would be sitting in a wheel
chair in front of a baseball field
and watching people play. It
would break my heart. Think
ing about it gives me a hollow
feeling deep in my chest.
Here was Joel (Stolz's charac
ter) who was fighting all of
these horrbile emotions.
And yet, one of the underly
ing themes of the movie is to ap
preciate what you have. When
Joel first enters the hospital,
where he has to stay for five
months, a quadriplegic man
looks over him while ne is on
his stretcher. Five months later,
when Joel is leaving, the same
man rolls his wheel-chair out of
the door to watch him being dri
ven away.
Joel got away from the hospi
tal. The man watching him
might not ever leave.
Two of the other paralyzed
patients in Joel's ward even
make fun of the "quads" while
they are out one night, saying in
effect, "At least we re not as bad
as them."
Thinking about the movie's
meaning made me feel very
lucky.
Sports are a big part of my
life. If that part of my life were
suddenly cut off, it would leave
a large empty hole .
What I have to remember is
that sports are an entertainment.
Sports produce ho physical
product. When players get to
gether, they make highlight
reels, not cars or toasters.
They make us laugh and yell
and say, "How did he do that?"
Sometimes I get offended
when people say, "Sports aren'l
real news.'
In a way, they are right
Sports stories probably won'l
save peoples lives or inform
people about something thal
would improve their standard
of living.
Don't get me wrong. Sports
are a multi-billion dollar indus
try with some of the most no
table celebrity figures in the
United States. Does anyone nol
know who Michael Jordanoi
Troy Aikman are?
But, knowing what a 6-4-3
double play is has never saved
someone's life or taught a kid to
read.
Sports are important tome
When I thought about it,
though, 1 know if I had (o, 1
could live without them.
I could learn to exercise mv
mind, not my body. Maybe,li
Dennis Byrd, I could learn
walk again.
Ge
Rangers' pitcher overcomes
'fear of failure' to earn spot
UTA wheelchair hoopsters
defend as national champs
The Associated Press
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -
After four years as a set-up pitch
er, the Texas Rangers' Kenny
Rogers stepped up to a starting
role last season with starring re
sults — after overcoming the fear
of failure.
On a staff that included Nolan
Ryan and Kevin Brown, Rogers
emerged with the most victories
(16) on the staff.
"Last year was another step in
learning how to pitch," Rogers
said. "I was pleased with what I
did last year and this year the goal
is getting to another level."
The first step for pitching coach
Claude Osteen last season was
convincing Rogers that he could
overcome his previous failures as
a starter.
"The difficulty for him was
that he'd failed all those other
times and he was reminded of it
so many times," Osteen said.
"That's one of the things I had to
downplay. We had to get past
that."
And they did.
"Last year I did more pitching
than throwing," Rogers said. "I
worked the outside and inside of
the plate instead of trying to
throw it by everybody.
"That's being smart and being
within yourself when you throw.
When I got away from that, I'd
pay for it a lot."
Rogers' 16-10 record was his
best at any professional level and
his 33 starts almost tripled his 12
career major league starts prior to
1993.
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — Javier
Gonzalez and Cipi Falcon were
teen-agers living in different parts
of the country when each was
shot in seemingly random acts of
violence and subsequently para
lyzed from the waist down.
Their injuries and love of
sports brought them to the Uni
versity of Texas-Arlington, where
today they are among 11 players
on the three-time national wheel
chair basketball champions, the
Movin' Mavs.
The 17th National Intercolle
giate Wheelchair Basketball Tour
nament began Monday night with
one game at Texas Hall. UTA
plays in one of two games sched
uled Tuesday, and the champi
onship and third-place gamesatf
Wednesday.
For Gonzalez and Falcon, then
is no turning back. Their live
have changed immensely. Bui
both see opportunities providd
by fate and, to a large extenl,
wheelchair basketball.
"I feel like I've accepted it,
said Gonzalez, 24, a freshmai
point guard recruited to the team
from Pomona, Calif. "I see mam
opportunities that I didn't seek
fore. Basketball has made me an
international traveler. I'vebeente
Italy and across the U.S."
Gonzalez was playing ona
professional men's wheelchaii
basketball team, the Las Colina
Condors, when Movin' Mavs
coach Jim Hayes lured him aid
his financee, Mavs trainer Rod;
Delgado, to UT-Arlington.
