LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Ten
Texas Tech athletes who current

accounted for 304 unauthorized
long-distance calls from 1993-97,
according to a letter obtained
Thursday by The Associated
Press.
The calls totaled $362.19, a
table included with the letter
showed. The Houston Chronicle
quoted unidentified sources who
said the worst offenders were line
backer Eric Butler and cornerback
Tony Darden, both senior starters.
The Lubbock Avalanche-
Journal reported earlier this week
that the two have been declared
ineligible and will miss Saturday’s
game at No. 5 Tennessee.
Underclassmen will replace
Darden and Butler, who were
counted on to help stop superstar
quarterback Peyton Manning.

director Gerald Myers to the

Jordan
CHICAGO (AP) — Michael
Jordan is coming back. So is Phil
Jackson. Scottie Pippen never left.
And Dennis Rodman is expected
to bring his foul mouth and lin
gerie collection back to town for
one more season-long party.
The hurricane of panic that
blew through the Windy City
shortly after the Bulls won their
fifth NBA title has subsided.
Chicago fans
again are sport
ing smug
smiles as they
begin planning
for next June’s
championship
celebration in
Grant Park.
Now that
Jordan has
agreed to anoth
er record-setting one-year con
tract— $33 million, a source.close
to the team said Thursday — only
the Bulls’ opponents have reason
to worry.
For example, how does Pat
Riley motivate his Miami Heat
after publicly stating that Chicago
is a championship lock as long as
Jordan is wearing red and black?
Riley and the rest of the
league’s coaclies wisJi that Bulls
owner Jerry Reinsdorf and general
manager Jerry Krause would final
ly get on with the rebuilding
process they have been threaten
ing for months.
Reinsdorf said he doesn’t want
the Bulls to be the next Boston
Celtics, a once-proud franchise
now in disarray. Krause said next
season will be Jackson’s last as
coach. Pippen, dangled as trade
bait before tlie draft and still not
assured of spending the entire
1997-98 season with the Bulls,
said it will be his final year in
Chicago.
Although Jordan wanted a
guarantee that Pippen, his close
friend and fellow All-Star, won’t
be traded, Krause said no such
language exists in Jordan’s new
contract.
“I can tell you flat-out,” Krause
said, “it isn’t in there.”
Neither Krause nor Jordan’s
agent, David Falk, would com
ment on the value of the contract,
which follows Jordan’s record
$30.14 million deal last season.
But reports that he will receive
anywhere from $36 million to $41
million “are way out of line,” said
a source who requested anonymi
ty. “The number is $33 million,”
still the highest salary ever for an
athlete in a team sport.
Falk said that although he,
Reinsdorf and Jordan worked out
terms of the contract in a brief
meeting Tuesday in Las Vegas,
“these things are never easy.”
“Michael wouldn’t have
accepted an agreement unless he
deemed it to be fair,” Falk said
Thursday. “But detei
what’s fair for maybe the
athlete in the history of spoil
we’re dealing with unchar
waters.”
Just because Jordan signs
one-year deal, it doesn’t i
he’ll play only one more seas
“There’s no reason too
any decisions now,” Falk
“But Michael certainly has al
great basketball left in
Last season, at 34,
the league in scoring for thert
time. He was edged by
Malone for a fifth regular-sei
MVP award but then
Malone’s Utah Jazz in th
series to win his fifth NBA Fii
MVP.
Jordan is the league's
leader in scoring average,
the regular season (31.7 poirljions
and playoffs (33.6), and has 6,bu

Jordan resumed his basketti nidi
career full-time. Askei
Krause said the Bulls'
order of business is
Rodman, the cross-dressing,t
too-covered showman whoisf
NBA’s best rebounder.
Jordan, Pippen, Jackson a j
Krause all say they want Rodm [
back. And the “Worm”’
return so badly thathe’si
give the Bulls a behaviorguaia

“He’ll play for free if hedoes
deserve the money,’
Manley, Rodman's agent, sa
Thursday. “If he doesn’t[

“But if he performs, ifhe'si

“I’m delighted and excited ]

committed to Chicago and

Neagle picks up No. II
ATLANTA (AP) — Denny Neagle
became the NL’s first 18-game win
ner and Javy Lopez hit a three-run
homer after a catcher’s interference
call, giving the Atlanta Braves a 4-2
victory over the Houston Astros on
Thursday night.
Neagle (18-3) pitched a four-
hitter over seven innings, but he
wouldn’t have broken a 10-game
winning streak by Darryl Kile (17-
4) without a rare call in the sixth
inning.
With two outs and a runner at
first, Ryan Klesko appeared
ground out to short. But his
struck catcher Tony Eusebi
glove on the swing, so Klesko*
awarded first.
Klesko has reached based 1
way three times this season, $
ing the majors. He led thentfj
in that category last year, 1
drawing three catcher’s inter
ence calls.
On the very next pitch Us
lined his 21st homer deepim 0
left-field seats.
