Sixers offense shines in Midwest

Capital Times Staff
The holiday season is supposed to be a
time for friendship, closeness and sharing.
However, in the sports world, this holiday
season has lacked sportsmanship and
closeness (on and off the playing surfaces),
but it has been full of sharing-especially
the sharing of certain four letter words
between athletes and fans.
CHARLES BARKLEY HEADS the
list of unsportsmanlike acts thanks to his
recent altercation in Milwaukee where he
broke a man's nose after the man said
Barkley wasn’t so tough off the court.
Rumor has it the guy's going to get
revenge by spitting on Barkley's wife.
SIXER TEAMMATE JAYSON
WILLIAMS felt he wasn't getting enough
exposure in the sports pages, so he figured
he'd break a beer mug over someone's head
in a Chicago bar. Upon his return home,
Williams discovered his house had been
gutted-out by fire and his ring-finger had
been broken in the Bulls-Sixers game

played just hours earlier. Barkley was
close by, but had no comment on the
situation. It may be the first time Sir
Charles hasn't had some Royal comment
on a subject.
KARL MALONE WAS RECENTLY
SUSPENDED for a flagrant foul when a
Givler's Travels
flying elbow caused Isiah Thomas to need
40 stitches in his head. Personally, the
foul didn't look that intentional and I
believe the NBA made a mistake by
coming down so hard on Malone. But
Piston Bill Laimbeer, disagreed saying
that if it had been him who had committed
the foul he would have been suspended in
a minute. If I were Isiah, I don't think I'd
want Laimbeer as my spokesman in this
incident.
CLEVELAND BEAT MIAMI 148-80
in the most lopsided victory in NBA
history. The Cavs outscored the Heat 75-
Requirements, from page 11
around a year ago when the college
participated in a national survey.

27 in the second half and 42-13 in the
fourth quarter enroute to the win. Maybe
the Cavs were just preparing the public for
some of the scores they will be seeing in
the 1992 Olympic games.
IN ANOTHER ROUT, TROY STATE
hammered DeVry 258 to 141, eclipsing
many of the NCAA's previous scoring
records. Some of the records the Trojans
broke were for the number of points scored
by a team in a game (258), points by a
team at halftime (123), total points (399),
and successful 3-pointers by a team (51).
There were only seven fouls committed in
the game. DeVry coach George Trawick
said, "Even though we were on the down
side, it's great to be a part of this type of
feat" Notice how Trawick forgot the "D"
in feat.
LET ME "GIV" YA A TRIVIA. Can

from the league after testing positive for
the HIV virus. He said that Sacramento
looks like the best possibility right now. I
think it would only be fitting for him to
own the Orlando Magic.
DEION SANDERS PLAYED on two
teams, the Braves and the Falcons, that
finished in last place in their respective
divisions in 1990, and went to the
playoffs in 1991. Rumor has it that the
New Jersey Nets and the Quebec Nordiques
are looking to sign Sanders to a contract.
THE QUOTE OF THE ISSUE goes to
Atlanta Hawks announcer Skip Carey who
said during a Hawks-Timberwolves game,
"We've finally found a Minnesota team
who can't play indoors." Carey was
referring to the Twins Metrodome sweep
of the Braves in last year’s World Series.
ANSWER TO THE TRIVIA
QUESTION: The L.A. Raiders, L.A.
Kings, Chicago White Sox, and the San
Jose Sharks (in that order) were the top
four souvenir money makers in 1991.
UNTIL NEXT ISSUE...May all your
strikes hit the pocket.
