Colts’ preseason opener in Florida first real test

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) The Indianapolis Colts’ preseason opener next week at Tampa Bay will be used in large part to evaluate the progress of the team’s newcomers, says Coach Ron Meyer, indicating some of his key starters will see little action. Gary Hogeboom, the Colts’ starting quarterback who has missed much of the past two years because of injuries, will play only “12 or 15 snaps, if I use him at all,” Meyer said on Friday. The Colts, AFC Eastern Division champions last season, open the 1988 exhibition schedule on Aug. 6. Meyer said running back Eric Dickerson would see only limited playing time, even though “Eric wants to play.” “We might give him a shot at 10 or 12 plays. That’s my thought right now,” he said. Meyer said he and his staff would decide on a rotation for the quarterbacks as well as other positions during weekend meetings. The Colts wound up two-a-day sessions Friday afternoon at Anderson University and planned one practice today before taking Sunday off. Randy McMillan will likely see extensive action at Tampa Bay, according to Meyer. McMillan, who has led the Colts in rushing in four

Palombizio

. MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) Dan Palombizio made $60,000 last season playing professional basketball in Spain. Now he wants to play in the NBA, and if he’s any good, he could make a lot more than that “I just want to play back here. I think I’m ready, but we’ll just have to wait and sec,” says the former Indiana high school Mr. Basketball and Ball State player. Palombizio, a seventh-round draft pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1986, has hired George Andrews, who also represents Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers, to try to negotiate with NBA teams. As a free agent, Palombizio can sign with any team in the league. “We’re shopping around. I’m getting a few offers,” he told the Muncie Star. Palombizio, who was Mr. Basketball at Michigan City Rogers in 1981, played two seasons at Ball State after transferring from Purdue. He played the past two years in Lleria, Spain, where he was very

Mallory’s hope for IU high

CHICAGO (AP) Bill Mallory has taken Indiana’s football program from the bottom of the Big Ten to the point where the Hoosiers are regarded as legitimate challengers for the league championship. “But it’s like climbing a mountain,” says Mallory. “The closer you get to the top, the tougher the climb is,” the Big Ten coach of the year said at the annual conference coaches’ preseason meeting in Chicago. Mallory has taken the Hoosiers from 0-11 in his first season in Bloomington to 8-4 last year, and Indiana no longer is the Big Ten whipping boy. Michigan State and lowa generally arc considered the top

Stephens ready to prove himself

PHILADELPHIA (AP) As heir-apparent to Maurice Cheeks as the Philadelphia 76ers’ point guard, rookie Everette Stephens of Purdue says he is excited about wearing a red, white and blue basketball uniform of Philadelphia. It’s just that for the next few months, he wishes he could be wearing it with the U.S. Olympic team. “It was a dream of mine. I really wanted to be part of it all,” said the 6-foot-3 former Boilermaker, who instead has been getting an NBA indoctrination of sorts with the Sixers at the five-day Atlantic Division Minileague at Princeton, N.J. “I felt I could supply what they were looking for, and I still feel I’m as good as some of the guys who are still there. But the competition was stiff, and I just didn’t perform like I should’ve at the time,” Stephens told the Philadelphia Daily News. “Every time I read about it in the papers, or hear about it on TV, it hurts me deep down inside. It really does. But I had to put it behind me, treat it as a learning experience. You have to be ready to do what

seasons, is attempting to come back from a broken left leg that sidelined for all of last year. He was struck by a car in April 1987. “I want to get him in the game when the fur is really flying,” said Meyer. “We want to let him get his confidence back.” Nose tackle Joe Klecko was cleared for his first practice Friday afternoon. Klecko, acquired as a free agent during the offseason, reported to camp with a sore neck and headaches after striking his head on the bottom of a swimming pool. “I anticipate him playing (against Tampa Bay),” said Meyer. “How much he’ll play, we’ll work it out. I don’t think it’ll be an enormous amount of snaps. “He’s an incredibly gifted guy

two contenders for the Big Ten title in 1988, but “Indiana is the darkhorse,” Wisconsin coach Don Morton said. “Bill Mallory gives us all hope. Talk about a program which gets better day by day ...” Purdue coach Fred Akers, whose Boilermakers were 3-7-1 in his first season last year, added, “They say Indiana could be the best Indiana team we’ve ever seen in the league.” Indiana last year beat Ohio State for the first time since 1951, and victories over Ohio State, Michigan and Purdue marked the first time the Hoosiers have ever beaten those three teams in the same season. Going into the 1988 campaign, Indiana’s main losses from last year were flanker Ernie Jones, tackle

and a very young 34.1 think we’re really going to like this guy.” After 11 years with the New York Jets, Klecko was released last winter when the Jets’ physician said his knees could no longer handle the stress of pro football. Klecko underwent an extensive physical exam before the Colts signed him. “I think his knees are better now than they’ve probably been in years,” Meyer said. “Joe Klecko is here to play.” Linebacker Duane Bickett, cornerback Chuckie Miller and free safety Craig Swoope remained out of practice Friday with slight injuries. Bickett wrenched his back on Wednesday, Miller banged up a shoulder and Swoope hurt his right Achilles tendon. All three are expected back in several days.

than I did at Ball State. I go inside and outside, I rebound and I try to play good defense. I usually guard the other team’s best player.” He averaged about 40 points a game last season, up from 33 points a game in his first year in Spain. He doesn’t have many complaints about playing in Europe. The money is good he made $45,000 as a rookie and $60,000 last year and the fans have been good to him. The only problem is that he must spend 10 months away from home. “I want to play here,” he said. “I don’t like being away from the United States for so long.” If Palombizio does not land a spot on an NBA roster, he plans to play in Italy, which is considered the top country for professional basketball in Europe. “There are a few teams (in Italy) who want to sign me for several years,” he said. “I could become a citizen after three years.”

Eric Moore, fullbacks Andre Powell and Tom Polce, linebacker Van Waiters and comerback Eric Hickerson. “But I feel like we’ve got good people who can fill those spots,” said Mallory. One of those is sophomore Rob Turner, expected to take the place of Jones, who was an All-American last season. Key returnees include quarterback Dave Schnell, tailback Anthony Thompson, linebacker Willie Bates and kicker Pete Stoyanovich. Mallory has put Schnell on a weight program to build up his durability. “I told him he’s been hurt enough and we can’t afford to have him hurt any more,” the coach said.

come here early and hopefully get off on a good note.” In his first three games, Stephens did exactly that, averaging 23.6 points on 49 percent shooting, and 5.3 assists. On Thursday night, however, he scored only 7 points, with 3-for-12 shooting from the field and four assists negated by five turnovers in a 127-112 loss to the New York Knicks. “When the man at the point plays bad, the whole team goes bad, too,” said Stephens, a secondround draft pick who the Sixers believe can one day take over for Cheeks. “I don’t know what to say. I really thought I was ready.” Stephens claims resiliency always has been one of his strong points. “I feel like I’m going to be an All-Star. But for now, I’m willing to wait behind Mo and learn from one of the best,” Stephens said. “He has control of the situation. That’s the way I want to be. I want to keep working ’til I’m up at the top.”
