edly be a lucrative contract with a professional team. In the football-conscious region where he was born, raised and, more importantly, played football, his name is a household word. His fame began in the tiny community of Hooks, where he proved to be a near superhuman high school back. Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer's frequent calls and visits convinced him to come to the Univerity of Oklahoma. At OU his career stalled for a time as injuries kept him out of the limelight. However, the 25-year-old speedster suddenly got back on

the track in 1978, when he amassed 1,762 yards, scored 20 touchdowns and set an NCAA record 7.6 yards per carry. Then came the Heisman Trophy and a variety of honors. “You know, to tell you the truth I’ll be glad when all this is over with,” Sims confided. “It was always a dream of mine that I would be able to make something out of myself. It’s not really the money, although I won’t turn that down. “You know coming from a small town and all I didn’t just want to bum around all my life. But I really don’t want to be a football player all my life.”

Kings beat 76ers 110-103 Dawkins rips goal and all out

By ALEXSACHARE AP Sports Writer It was a night, and a sight, to remember. “I think this is Darryl’s lifelong dream to shatter a backboard,” said Philadelphia guard Doug Collins. That’s exactly what Darryl Dawkins, the muscular, 6-foot--11, 258-pound, 22-year-old who plays center for the 76ers, did in Kansas City Tuesday night. And he did it in typical Dawkins fashion spectacular. It came straight from the Gus

Johnson school of breaking. It happened early in the third quarter with Kansas City leading 49-45. Dawkins took a lob pass from Maurice Cheeks and turned to the basket, having beaten his man, Kings center Sam Lacey. The only other Kansas City player nearby, forward Bill Robinzine, decided to duck for safety. It was a good idea. Dawkins went up for one of those high-percentage shots he refers to as “Go-Rilla Dunks.” If you have to ask why he calls them that, you’ve never seen him throw it down. But even Dawkins had never seen what happened next. As he dunked the ball, his hands made contact with the iron rim of the basket. Suddenly the fiberglass backboard shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces and the whole thing crashed to the hardwood floor. “His arms were inside the rim. The backboard first exploded, then it just dropped,” said referee Bill Oakes. “It was a little scary. This is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like it in 25 years of playing and officiating.” The shattered glass showered both Dawkins and Robinzine.

Dawkins was unhurt while Robinzine was cut on the hand. Dawkins’ massive dunk bent the support pole that holds up the basket and backboard, and the pole broke while workers tried to attach a new backboard. The game was delayed one hour, 13 minutes while a whole new support apparatus was installed. Despite Dawkins' colossal basket, the Kansas City Kings won the game 110-103, snapping a six-game losing streak. Phil Ford led the way with 34 points and reserve guard Marlon Redmond scored 19 as the Kings built a 16-point first-half lead and then held on to win. In other National Basketball Association games, the San Antonio Spurs edged the Golden State Warriors 131-127 in overtime, the Houston Rockets trimmed the Chicago Bulls 128-127, the Los Angeles Lakers routed the San Diego Clippers 137-91, the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Portland Trail Blazers 101-92, the Washington Bullets defeated the New York Knicks 111-107, the Denver Nuggets trimmed the Cleveland Cavaliers 116-110 and the New Jersey Nets topped the Atlanta Hawks 101-92.

scoring champion the last two years, scored 47 points for the Spurs, including six in overtime. His runningmate at guard, James Silas, added 21 points and made two key plays at he end erf the five-minute extra period. Silas put San Antonio ahead for good with a 15-foot turnaround jumper with 38 seconds remaining, then fed Billy Paultz for an easy layup with nine seconds remaining to ice the game. Rockets 128, Bulls 127 Moses Malone capped a brilliant 45-point, 22-rebound effort by sinking two free throws with no time remaining to carry Houston over Chicago. Malone, the NBA’s leading rebounder last season, grabbed a missed shot by Chicago rookie David Greenwood with 11 seconds left. Greenwood then fouled Malone as the Houston center drove for the basket and Malone made both free throws for the victory. Lakers 137, Clippers 91 Rookie Earvin “Magic” Johnson scored 22 points and was one of eight Los Angeles players to score in double figures as the Lakers hit 67.4 percent of their field goal attempts.

Bucks 101, Blazers 92 Milwaukee raised its record to 13-3, best in the NBA, by beating the Blazers at Portland behind Marques Johnson’s 34 points. The Bucks led led 56-32 at intermission and were never in danger. Bullets 111, Knicks 107 Phil Chenier, struggling to recover from a back injury which has limited his playing time since the 1976-77 season, scored 22 points to lead the Bullets to their first road win following five losses. Nuggets 116, Cavaliers 110 George McGinnis, held to just two points in his previous start, scored 18 points including two big baskets midway through the fourth quarter for Denver, which has won its last five home games.

The Nets held the Hawks to just 16 points in the final period and pulled away to win easily.
