Meyer says Demons have something to prove

By The Associated Press Only three games into the post-Hay Meyer era. the DePaul basketball team is finding that life won't be any easier under new Coach Joey Meyer. Despite the margin in a 77-37 victory over Chico State Monday night, the younger Meyer proved to be just as harsh a critic as his father, who held the DePaul reins for 42 years before retiring last spring. “DePaul has a stigma that it doesn’t play hard in games it’s supposed to win. It still has that," the 29-year-old Meyer said. “You don’t expect emotion (against the likes of Chico, a Division II team), but you expect them to be in control, and they weren’t,” Meyer said. Second-ranked DePaul, now 3-0, wasn’t the only Top Twenty team to learn a thing or two Monday night. No. 9 Washington needed Paul Fortier’s rebound basket with two-seconds left in the second overtime to subdue Texas Tech 5957, and No. 16 North Carolina struggled before beating Howard University 77-63. In other games involving ranked teams, No. 10 North Carolina State clubbed Hartford 83-46, No. 13 Louisiana State outscored Texas 87-79 and No. 14 Virginia Tech blitzed Maryland-Eastern Shore 9146. DePaul was never in danger in running its Rosemont Horizon winning streak to 29 games. Center Marty Embry scored nine of his 14 points in the first six minutes of the second half as the Blue Demons expanded a 32-16 halftime lead to 47-23. Washington, 3-0, trailed 38-33 at the half, but went ahead of Texas Tech at 49-48 when Detlef Schrempf canned a jumper

Cloverdale freshmen win

CLAY CITY-Rallying from a 14-12 halftime hole, the Cloverdale freshman basketball team scored a 38-35 victory over host Clay City. Dwayne Lowes led the balanced Cloverdale attack with 10 points, followed by Darin Price with eight,

Greencastle’s freshman boys basketball teams dropped two games Monday night at Southmont. The Tiger Cub A-team was defeated 57-54, while the B-team fell 34-28. David Pettit led the A-team effort with 18 points, followed by Chris Miller with 11, Brett Hecko 10, Chad Remsburg eight, David Bottoms five and Stacy Irwin two. Troy Peters led the B-team attack

acy may end platoon system

Orioles close on lot of deals

c. 1984 The Baltimore Sun HOUSTON - On a day when the Hyatt Regency’s lobby was filled from just after 10 until almost midnight, when no major deals were made but a lot of liquor and fruit baskets were consumed, the Orioles discovered. They’re close to signing free-agent outfielder Lee Lacy ( .321, 12 home runs, 70 RBIs). If they do. he’ll bat second and play either left or right field. One condition of his signing is that he wants to play full time, and with Mike Young solidly in the Orioles’ future, he’d be taking playing time from the John Lowenstein-Gary Roenieke platoon (which, apparently, no longer exists). They’ve gotten some additional competition for Andre Thornton from a new source, the Kansas City Royals, who made a three-year, $2.05-million offer to the freeagent designated hitter yesterday. Only $1 45 million of the contract is guaranteed money, and the Orioles have reportedly offered a three-year, $2.4 million deal. (Friends say Thornton is still leaning toward signing with the Orioles and has a face-to-face meeting scheduled with owner Edward Bennett Williams today.) The Orioles are still interested in obtaining Seattle second baseman Jack Perconte as a leadoff hitter, but the Mariners no w want Sammy Stewart instead of Dennis Martinez. The Orioles appear unin-

with four minutes left in regulation. After Tech's Tony Benford tied the game with a free throw at 3:03, each team tried, and failed, to hold the ball for a last shot. Benford’s two free throws gave Tech a 53-51 lead in the first extra period, but another Schrempf jumper, this with three seconds left, forced a second overtime that wasn’t settled until Fortier coverted his own miss into the game-deciding bucket North Carolina’s youthful Tar Heels had hoped to impress the home folks for the first time this season by making quick work of tiny Howard. But North Carolina found itself trailing 37-35 at the half and the embarrassed Tar Heels didn’t take the lead until Buzz Peterson sank a layup for a 40-39 advantage.

Greencastle beats Danville

Greencastle defeated Danville 60-40 Saturday afternoon at McAnally Center to raise its high school girls basketball record to 3-2. but you never would have guessed it from talking to coach Doug Rose. “I was not pleased with anything but (Carol) Braden and (Dale) Gossard’s performances. We just went through the motions,” Rose said. “If we had been playing Cascade again or somebody else we would have lost again ” BUT GREENCASTLE was playing Danville, a team that didn’t shoot the basketball too well and that was the difference. The Tiger Cubs built a 22-10 first quarter lead and never looked back. Rose was happy with Gossard for 17 points, 12 rebounds and five steals and

with seven points, followed by Jeff King with six, Tom Holton four, Brad Vanßibber three. Rick Murray, Larry Kenyon, Mike Blye and Henry Williams each had two points. Greencastle travels to South Putnam Wednesday night for a freshman A-team game and a C-team (combination of freshmen and junior varsity contest.

terested in making that deal. With the Perconte deal at an impasse, the Orioles are now interested in obtaining St. Louis second baseman Tommy Herr, but that trade would cost them Mike Flanagan. They’re almost out of the running for free agents Bruce Sutter and Fred Lynn. General Manager Hank Peters said he was “not optimistic” about landing Sutter, but still hopeful of getting Lynn. Other sources indicate, though, that Lynn is going to sign with San Diego and Sutter with Atlanta. So the Orioles news is Lacy, and briefly, here’s what they’d be getting: a 35-year-old outfielder who runs well (4.0 seconds from home to first) and got the chance to play fulltime only this season. Oriole scouts say he’s an "adequate” defensive outfielder with an “adequate” arm. His former manager, Chuck Tanner of the Pirates, said, “Look at his record, and I’ll bet he has been in more World Series than anyone except maybe Reggie (Jackson) and Pete Rose. I hate to lose a good player like this, but we’ve been down this road before ” A cynic would say Lacy had the best year of his career because he was in the final year of his contract, but the Orioles have apparently researched his background enough to be satisfied in his desire. Certainly, it wasn’t a problem this year He finished second in the National League inhitting, had a .362 onbase

Brad Daugherty had 13 points and 13 rebounds for North Carolina, 3-0. North Carolina State’s romp over Hartford, a new Division I team, “was not a contest that you find a lot out about your club,” said Wolfpack Coach Jim Valvano. “But I was pleased we came to play.” Ernie Myers scored 17 points to lead North Carolina State, which held leads of 30-4 and 34-6 in the first half. Nikita Wilson scored 18 points and Jerry Reynolds came off the bench tom contribute 14 to LSU’s victory over stubborn Texas. The Tigers, 3-0, held a 15-point lead in the second half, only to have Texas cut that margin in half by the end of the game. John Brownlee had 20 points for Texas, which lost its first game in three starts.

Two North Putnam wrestlers undefeated

MONROVIA-Jesse Hensley and Ryan Lathrop came home with perfect 7-0 records Saturday and North Putnam won two of four matches in the Monrovia Invitational. The meet was actually a quad-dual with Monrovia. North Putnam, Cascade and Cloverdale wrestling one another.

Cloverdale's Tucker leads Butler to victory

By The Associated Press For the first time since 1945-46, Butler has opened the college basketball season with three straight victories. The Bulldogs beat Valparaiso 66-51 Monday night as Chad Tucker pumped in 19 points and Darrin Fitzgerald added 16. Elsewhere, Indiana State downed Liberty Baptist 84-75 and Indiana Central edged lUPUI7O-69. Butler Coach Joe Sexson said he wasn’t confident until Tucker hit his seventh and final fielder, then assisted Mike Burt on a

average, and he has hit better than .300 four of the last five seasons. “I see him as doing several things for us,” Peters said. “He’s kind of interested because he’d never gotten a chance to be an everyday player until this year, and he had the greatest year of his career.” Lacy’s agent, Tom Reich of Los Angeles, said his client was close to making a decision, and that would definitely be an American League team. Privately, several AL scouts say Lacy is solid for the Orioles. Reich has a meeting scheduled with Peters today, and Peters will also be meeting with Thornton’s agent. He said he would also talk with several teams about trades, and possibly with the agent for Bruce Sutter. With the San Francisco Giants looking for pitching, the Orioles appear willing to offer some to obtain left fielder Jeff Leonard (.302, 21-86). But what they like about the three deals they now have going Thornton, Lacy and Herr or Perconte - is that they could make them without tearing up their pitching staff, especially without losing one of their top four starters. But as these meetings begin to take shape, it’s clear the Orioles wouldn’t mind dealing, not only for a second baseman, but a third baseman as well, and that’s not good news for Rich Dauer and Wayne Gross.

short jumper making it 54-45 with 3:29 left to play. “That’s the first time I felt decent all night,” Sexson said. Larry Dougherty also scored 19 points to lead Valparaiso. He had 8 of 14 from the floor. But the Crusaders, 1-2, hit just 21 of 55 attempts overall for .381 “With all those freshmen, they haven't been playing together very long,” Sexson said. “They’re going to be all right.” In Terre Haute, John Sherman Williams paced the Sycamores w ith 22 points.

“Well, we do have some untouchables," Peters said, “but if you can improve your team, you do it. Almost every team we talk to is talking about pitching, and we have to weigh what we want to do. We’re going to listen, and then we’ll talk some more.” The trickiest negotiations involve Thornton. The Orioles believe they’re going to sign him, but are privately worried because, suddenly, so many teams are making offers for him. “What has developed here is that teams now see there are three free agents, that if you got one of them, you won’t have to make any other move,” said Alan Hendricks, one of Thornton’s agents. “Those three players - Rick Sutcliffe, Bruce Sutter and Andy Thornton could make this week a success.” The Royals hadn't even made Thornton an offer until yesterday, and did so after Hendricks phoned them. “It was a point of courtesy,” he said “Things were starting to move pretty fast with Andy, and I told them if they wanted to be included, they’d better get something on the table.” What they put on the table probably won’t change Thornton’s mind, but if they make a second offer, that might. Besides meeting with agents for Thornton and Lacy today, Peters said he also has meetings scheduled with several teams, including the Cardinals,

the 6 4 Tigers during the First Citizens Bank sponsored banquet. Weaver also received the Thomas A. Mont Award as Offensive Player of the Year and was voted to serve as one of next-years captains. (Banner-Graphic photo by Steve Fields).

The score was tight the first eight minutes of the game, with Indiana State leading 14-13 at 12:44. But the Sycamores, winning their first game in two outings this season, sparked a run, outscoring the Flames 10-2 in the next three minutes, and Liberty Baptist never drew close again.
