Rare U.S.-Soviet
clash set for Seoul
FRANKFURT, West (Ger-
many (AP) — For tne first time
in 12 years, the Soviet Union and
the United States will face each
other in a Summer Olympic
Games.
“We do not intend to boycott
the 1988 Seoul Olympics," Marat
Gramov, chairman of the Soviet
Sports Committee and chief of
the National Olympic Commit-
tee, said Monday.. '
, The final decision on Soviet
participation will be made at an
NOC meeting next week,
Gramov said.
The United States and the
Soviet Union last competed
together in the, 1976 Games at
Montreal. The United States
boycotted the 1980 Games at
Moscow in a protest’ of the Soviet
intervention in Afganistan. The
Soviets responded with a boycott
of the 1984 Games at Los
Angeles, citing, security con-
cerns.
Gramov, whose committee
oversees all sports activities, in-
cluding Olympic preparations,
was the official who announced
the Soviet boycott in 1984.
Gramov said the Soviet NOC
has discussed the question of
participating in the Seoul
Games.
“We find the Olympic move-
ment positive, as it unites the
youth of the world,” he said.
He said that the Soviet athletes
were “seriously preparing” for
both the winter and summer
games. The Winter Games will
be held at Calgary next month.

LAKE FOREST, 111. (AP) -
Chicago Bears Coach Mike
Ditka says some of his players
may have lost confidence in him
for a variety of reasons, but he
has no doubt the team can pull
together for the NFL playoffs.
Talking with reporters Mon-
day before the Bears left to prac-
tice indoors at Notre Dame,
Ditka called this season “dif-
ferent” and “tumultuous” for
himself and the Bears.
Last week, Bears President
Michael McCaskey was quoted
as saying some of the players
had lost confidence in Ditka, in
part because of bad feelings re-
maining from the NFL players
strike. McCaskey’s comments
came a day after linebacker Otis
Wilson got into a shouting match
with Ditka over play ing time. ■'
On Monday, Ditka was asked
whether he would, consider
resigning if he felt people lacked
confidence in him.
“Sure,” Ditka said.
Have the players,Indeed, lost
confidence in him?
“Oh, certainly,” Ditka said.
“I’m too tough on them, I
guess.”
Asked if that loss of confidence
had increased since last year,
Ditka said, “Sure,” although he
said he didn’t know why.
“We won two more games last
year than we won this year,” he
said.
“You have to talk to the other
people, the principals involved,”
he said, when pressed again
about reasons. “I mean, I’m just
answering your question. I’m
agreeing that there is (a loss of
confidence) and that’s all I’m
going to say about it.”
Bears players didn’t want to
make an issue of it, either.
Linebacker Mike Singletary said
the McCaskey comments had
been blown out of proportion and
noted that controversy among
the Bears was nothing new.
Tackle Dan Hampton said the
teamj doesn’t want to be
distracted from Sunday’s NFL
playoff game with the
Washington Redskins.
M
HFl PLAYOFFS
Ditka is leading the Bears into
the playoffs for the fourth
straight season, and has a 65-29
record since joining the club in
1982.
He was asked Monday if he
has changed his feelings or style
in coaching the Bears.
“I’ll talk to you about that in
February,” he replied. “There
are a lot of things going through
my mind right now.”
The coach was particularly
upset last month when a San
Francisco fan accused him of
throwing a wad of gum at her
after the Bears’ 41-0 loss to the
49ers. .
Ditka said he becomes con-
cerned when people lose sight of
what is important in the game,
and sometimes gets upset when
things go wrong. But he said the
Bears can put the turmoil behind
them.
Wright’s patience pays
VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) -
Felix Wright waited more than
two years to become a starter
for the Cleveland Browns before
he finally took matters into his
own hands.
Wright becartie a minor over-
night sensation with two long in-
terceptionreturns against the
Los Angeles Rams on Oct. 26. He
became the Browns’ starting
free safety two weeks later.
“I think that (Rams’ game)
was the turning point, because
that very next game I was get-
ting more playing time,” Wright
said after a workout Monday at
Dodgertown, where the Browns
are practicing for Saturday’s
AFC divisional playoff game
against the Indianapolis Colts.
Wright is the third player to
start at free safety for the
Browns since former first-round
draft pick Don Rogers died of a
cocaine overdose in the summer
of 1986.

The official deadline for ac-

mer Olympics is Jan. 17. The
Games will be held Sept. 17-Oct.
2: \ }'
Gramov’s statement appeared
to.clear the way for all Soviet
bloc countries to participate in
the Seoul Games, and to further
diminish the threat of North
Korea leading a communist
boycott. Last month, Hungary
and East Germany became the
first Soviet bloc countries to of-
ficially announce they would
send teams toSbuth Korea.
Czechoslovakia’s sports chief,
Antonin Himl, said on Saturday
that his country also would par-
ticipate in the Games, although
the official decision will not be
made until Jan. 15.
Czechoslovak athletes woufd
compete in 16 Olympic sports,
Himl told the state-run radio.
Gramov spoke at the start of a
six-day visit to West Germany
for talks with sports officials.
He said the problem of North
Korea and its demands to stage
some of the events remained to
be solved. But he recalled thqt
International Olympic Commit-
tee President Juan Antonio
Samaranch said in a recent
Soviet newspaper interview that
the way was open for more talks
on the issue.
The North had insisted on
staging at least half of the events
as co-host of the Games, but both
,.the IOC and the Seoul organizers
refused that demand.

Clark to leave Cards, agent says
NEW YORK (AP) Will Jack Clark stay in St.
Louis or will he go?
The Cardinals say he’ll stay. Clark’s agent says
no. 0
“Jack Clark has indicated to me that he will not
re-sign with the Cardinals,” Tom, Reich, who
represents Clark, said Monday.
“Negotiations are continuing,” Cardinals
General Manager Dal Maxvill said. “I’m hopeful
that we call get ltdune by Friday midnight."
Clark is the most prominent of the 11 free agents
who must re-sign with their former clubs by Fri-
day or be barred from re-signing with them until
May 1.
“The time for talking, we’re past that,” Reich
said. “I think it’s academic with respect to the Car-
dinals at this point. I expected a St. Louis deal but
it’s not meant to be.”
Maxvill, who said the Cardinals are offering a
two-year contract, said he spoke Monday with Bill
Landman, an associate of Reich.
“He called Bill at 7:30 this morning but it didn’t
change anything,” Reich said. “The situation with
St. Louis appears to have expired. Re-signing with
St. Louis is not our direction from Clark.”
Reich said that negotiations with the Cardinals
reached animpasse in December and that is when
Clark began to think about going elsewhere. Reich
would not say which teams Clark preferred.
Clark, acquired from San Francisco in exchange
for four players on Sept. 1, 1985, hit 35 homers,
drove in 106 runs and batted .286 in 1987 before he
hurt his ankle on Sept. 9. His homers were 36 per-
cent of the Cardinals’ team total of 94.
“We’ve said from the outsetthat there are two
things that you have to acknowledge about Jack
Clark,” Reich said. “The first is that he’s one of the
superstars of the game. The second is that he’s
injury-prone. The Cardinals are willing to
acknowledge the second but not the first. ”
“I’m happy to acknowledge the importance of*
Jack Clark to our ballclub,” Maxvill said. “We
think it’s important to re-sign him. Obviously we
do or we wouldn’t be willing to make the two-year
committment.”
Clark made $1.3 million last season in the final
year of a multi-year contract.
Reich said that Clark was not opposed to hinging
a significant part of the money in a new contract to
longevity clauses. But Reich said the Cardinals
were unwilling to pay Clark as a superstar if he re-
mained unhurt.
Maxvill said that one of the items under discus-
sion was the number of games Clark would have to
play to reach certain monetary levels, but Reich
indicated that Clark had stopped thinking about
such matters.
“It’s just not a question of the money or the
terms anymore,” Reich said. “There are just
times when you have to move on and find a new
ballclub.”
Clark, in addition to missing the final month of
the season, as well as the playoffs and World
Series, was also hurt the final three months of 1986
and missed two weeks in 1985.
“This is not what we expected,” Reich said. “We
thought we would be able to work out a deal with
St. Louis. Jack wanted to stay in St. Louis. He likes
the manager. He likes the fans.”
Others facing the Friday signing deadline are
Dave Smith, Larry Anderson and Danny Darwin of
the Houston Astros; Thad Bosley and Charlie
Leibrandt of the Kansas City. Royals; Paul Molitor
of the Milwaukee Brewers; Gary Gaetti of the Min-
nesota Twins; Atlee Hammaker of the San Fran-
cisco Giants; Bill Gullickson of the New York
Yankees, and John Candelaria of the New York
Mets.
Lee freshmen
begin district
with victories
Robert E. Lee’s freshman
basketball teams kicked off
District 23-5A play on winning
notes Monday, with the A team
defeating Pasadena 65-50 while
the B squad earned a 57-46 deci-
sion over the Eagles at the REL
boys gymnasium.
A 21-9 scoring advantage in the
third quarter helped the A team
blow open its game after it had
led 30-24 at halftime. The
Ganders then cruised to their
sixth win'in 10 outings this
season.
Greg Shead was the top scorer
for Lee with 22 points, while
Scott Nelson followed with 12.
In the B game, David Cupps
rifled in 20 points as REL im-
proved to 4-2 on the season. Paul
Sierra and David Schuble each
added 10 points to the cause.
The Lee freshmen will return
to action Friday when they
travel to Pasadena to face
Rayburn.
Bruce, SMU talk;
post remains open
DALLAS (AP) — Southern
Methodist University Athletic
Director Doug Single says his in-
terview with fired Ohio State
football coach Earle Bruce does
not mean that a decision is im-
minent on the selection of a new
coach for the school’s troubled
football program.
Bruce was on the SMU campus
Monday for the interview with
Single, but did not meet with
SMU President A. Kenneth Pye,
Single said.
“Don’t jump to the conclusion
that if Earle Bruce is here today
that we’re ^ng to name a new
coach tomorrow,” Single said.
“He certainly will not be the only
candidate we will talk to.”
'The new coach will replace
Bobby Collins, who resigned dur-
ing the final days of the scandal
that led to the suspension of the
school’s football program by the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association.
The school was given the
NCAA’s so-called “death penal-
ty” for violating NCAA rules
against paying players at a time
when the school was on proba-
tion for previous rules viola-
tions.
The NCAA action suspended
the Southwest Conference
school’s 1987 season and placed
severe sanctions against the
school for the 1988 season, pro-
mpting SMU officials to cancel
any plans to resume play until
1989.
Bruce was fired at Ohio State
only a few days before the end of
the season after the Buckeyes
had compiled a 6-3-1 season.
Ohio State finished with a 6-4-1
season.
Bruce compiled an 81-26-1
record in nine years at Ohio
State and had the best Big 10
record of any coach during his
tenure with the Buckeyes.
Single has already interview-
ed Minnesota coach John
Gutekunst, who apparently said
he was not interested, and plans
to interview several other can-
didates.

Perry’s offense leads Temple past Rutgers
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
_Tim Perry was recruited by
Temple mainly for his defensive
potential.
John Chaney, coach of the
sixth-ranked Owls, said, “When
we first got Timmy, there was no
question he was going to be a
great shot-blocker. We didn’t an-
ticipate his offense to come
along like it has.”
On Monday night, the 6-foot-9
senior forward scored 16 points
to lead Temple to an 86-60 Atlan-
