Davis injured a foot in Sun day’s 27-20 victory over Carolina. Mills enjoyed his finest career outing in the Panthers defeat. He caught five passes for 110 yards — his first time to break the century mark — and snagged an 18-yard scoring pass from Jason Garrett. His yards per catch of 19.4 is third best in the NFC. Deion Sanders, Eric Bjornson and Patrick Jeffers will be in con tention for the third receiver posi tion if Davis can’t play. Sanders has caught four passes for 71 yards including a 55-yarder. Bjornson has been playing tight end and has caught only two passes for 35 yards. With the production of the re ceivers picking up, the Dallas of fense has climbed to fourth over all in the NFL. Last year the Dallas offense finished 21st. NEW YORK (AP) — For the first time in its history, the NBA on Tuesday canceled regular season games because of a work stoppage when talks between owners and players broke off af ter about 3 1/2 hours. The games during the first two weeks of the season, Nov. 3-16, will not be played or made up, deputy commissioner Russ Granik said. And with that, the NBA’s 51-year streak of 35,001 consecutive games came to an end. The league had been the only major profes sional sport that had never lost a game due to a labor dispute. The players and owners are ar guing over rising salaries, among other issues. The next move will come from the owners, who will deliver a counterproposal later this week. ‘Tt doesn’t look promising,” commissioner David Stern said. ‘‘The reality is that the own ers had no choice.” Stern and Granik made the announcement late in the afternoon at a midtown Manhattan hotel after the sides had met for two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The players made a counterproposal in the morning, addressing the owners’ concern for ‘‘cost certainty” by asking for a luxury tax that would be paid by owners who sign players to exorbitant contracts. Stern said the idea of a tax was something the owners would look at, but by itself it was not enough to stop the league from canceling games for the first time in its history. ‘‘We had a somewhat more constructive dia logue, but it’s hard to say if we got jmmr 'mm* closer to an agreement,” Granik 111^ m sa id-“We promised to come back y with our own set of proposals.” A ■ The owners imposed the |r lockout July 1, and the summer and early fall passed with the sides meeting only twice for for mal bargaining sessions. The talks Tuesday were the third be tween the sides. Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Ray Allen, Antonio Davis and John Starks were among the play ers who attended the meeting. The owners were represented by Gordon Gund (Cleve land), Les Alexander (Houston), Abe Poilin (Washington) David Checketts (New York) and Jerry Colangelo (Phoenix). ‘‘We’re going to try to step up and talk about the issues they’ve raised,” union director Billy Hunter said as he arrived. ‘‘We’ve got a re sponse, but if they’re inclined to wait for Dean Feerick then nothing’s going to happen.” Arbitrator John Feerick, dean of Fordham Law School, is expected rule in a week or two on a union grievance that more than 200 play ers with guaranteed contracts must be paid dur ing the lockout. An agreement in principle had to be reached by Tuesday to preserve the 82-game season. The season was scheduled to begin Nov. 3, but it could conceivably have been pushed back a week or so to give teams about four weeks to make trades, sign about 200 free agents and hold abbreviated training camps. In the last labor agreement in 1995, the own ers agreed to pay the players between 48 per cent and 51.8 percent of revenues. If the per centage went higher — and owners claim it reached 57 percent last season — the owners had the right to toss out the old deal and seek a new one, which they did. They have demanded “cost certainty” from the players, meaning they want to put an ab solute ceiling on the amount of money that can be devoted to payrolls. The union calls such a system a “hard” salary cap and has vowed not to-accept one. “In terms of reaching a deal, this is the worst we’ve ever had,” Granik said earlier. “We’ve never gotten to this point without being able to make a deal. “The players have to participate in some deal that lowers the percentage of revenues being paid to salaries. But they don’t see that as their responsibility at all.” CLINIQUE 7-PIECE GIFT “Gotta have it” ■ a i i- a s 1 It’s Clinique Bonus Time!
