San Antonio Spurs Are A Little Older And A Lot Hungrier biacK bwimmers No Longer Taking A Back Seat SAN ANTONIO (AP) ■ The San Antonio Spurs are a little older and a lot hungrier. Now they’re out to finish what they started. The Spurs won the Midwest Division last year with a 56-26 record, progressed to the Western Conference semifinals and achieved the best single-year turnaround in NBA history. Phrases like "new-look" and "up- and-coming" frequently were linked with the squad. Now "championship contenders" is heard more often. "After last season, everybody has high hopes for us, and we have high hopes for ourselves," said guard Willie Anderson. The Spurs start their 1990-91 campaign Nov. 3 at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. "This is the time to get mentally together and physically together because people are going to know v/hen they see San Antonio on the schedule, this isn’t going to be an easy game," said center David Robinson. The Spurs’ starting fivt - Robinson, Anderson, Terry Cummings, Rod Strickland and Scan Elliott - remain intact Coach Larry Brown already likes what he sees. "They don’t look like young kids anymore. The difference is so incredible in just one year, and it’s nice to see," Brown said after the starters ran their first training camp drills. Two of the five, Robinson and Elliott, were rookies last year, while Anderson and Strickland were second-year players. "1 think I’m improved as a player," said Robinson, who last season averaged 24 points and 12 rebounds and was unanimous choice for Rookie of the Year. "1 think mentally I’m a little bit stronger." Robinson says he’s concentrating on defense. "If 1 can rebound the ball and get the ball out to the guys and if I can run the floor and make things happen and play some defense, then we’re going to be successful," he said. "Defensively, I’m going to have to be a team leader." The 7-1 Navy product also is working on a No. 1 shot. "You can’t develop something like that unless you’re out there playing," he said. "I’ve beer working on the hook shot. It’s something you’ve got to use against people when you are playing ... but that will come." Robinson said his year of pro experience will help him prepare for the grind of the NBA season and assist rookies Sean Higgins, Tony Massenburg and Dwayne Schintzius. "The key out here is to do the simple things right I can definitely talk to these guys about that," Robinson said. "I know how everything is a whirlwind when you’re just trying to make the team." Elliott, the Spurs’ first- round draft choice in 1989, also is ready to move beyond his rookie season. "I’m going to be much more aggressive on the boards. I want more rebounds," said Elliott, who averaged only 3.7 rebounds in 1989-90. The 6-8 former Arizona standout put on a few exua pounds working out over the summer and is switching from a bulky leg brace he’s used for security to a lighter, more flexible device. While Brown and his players say tliey’ve got plenty of talent, they’re also quick to point out that that alone won’t produce a championship. "We’ve got a lot of solid players out here, but it’s all a matter of putting it together,” Robinson said. Cummings, who averaged 22 points and eight rebounds las? season, is optimistic. "We’re going to have a great year," Cummings said. "I think sometimes you start off kind of slow, gradually trying to get used to the people around you." To solidify the bench the Spurs acquired Paul Pressey and David Greenwood to go with their trio of draft picks. Schinuius, the team’s top pick, missed the start of training camp in a contract dispute. The 7-2 center stopped playing for Florida mid season last year, citing personal reasons. Schintzius did infoimally practice with teammates before camp began. The Spurs lost backup guard David Wingate, whose name surfaced in September in connection with two alleged rapes. His guilt or innocence had not been legally determined, but Spurs officials said Wingate would not be back with the team. Vying for other roster spots are Mike Mitchell, Reggie Williams, David Rivers, Mark McNamara and Orlando Graham. get NOTICE OF SALE OF ^ ^ CONFISCATED PERSONAL PROPERTY Ki'iT?.'’ by virtue of the provisions of Chapter 15, Article 12 of the North Carolina General Statutes, the undersigned Sheriff for the County of Durham.

The Lakers have added Terry Teagle and Sam Perkins; Portland Uaded for Danny Ainge; Phoenix acquired Ed Nealy; Dallas now has Fat Lever and Rodney McCray; and Litah added Jeff Malone. "1 think everybody has improved," Brown said. "But we improved. That’s what makes it fun." Cummings, an eight-year veteran who frequently mentions his yearning for an NBA championship, said he also expects tougher conference competition. "I don't think that as the years go by it’ll get any easier. I think it’ll become more and more competitive. I just want to win my championship before it does," he smiled. The Spurs ended their post season play in June with an overtime loss to the Trail Blazers in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. Brown predicts at least as much excitement this season. "I think we’re going to be a lot better," Brown said. "Whether we win 56 games or not I don’t think is a concern of mine. I just think we’ve got to continue to get better. And we will." By Barry Cooper You may not have noticed, but black kids are swimming more than they ever have before. And we aren’t talking about some mindless, weekend frolic at the local YMCA. Black kids are swimming competitively, looking ahead to the day when black America will produce its first Gold Medal winner in swimming. This isn’t to suggest that every public swimming pool in America has been stuffed this summer with black kids looking to be the next Triangle Cardinals Defeat Peninsula Pirates Inaugural Banquet And Annual Meeting Triangle Cardinals Semi-Pro Football team defeated the Peninsula Pirates 13-0, at Durham County Stadium, Sunday, Oct. 14. The game remained unscored until the fourth quarter when the first touchdown was made with 5: 45 remaining. The second touchdown was made with only 34 seconds remaining in the game, completely shutting out the Pirates. The Cardinals are now 4-3-1. Their last home game will be played Oct. 21, at 2:30, Durham County Stadium.’ This game will be a thilling one since a win will mean second palce in the playoffs of the Southern Division of the Mason-Dixon League. Mark Spitz. Competitive swimming, like golf and tennis, is an incredibly expensive sport, requiring lots of money for training. But in various communities across the country, black kids are finding ways to beat the costs. No finer job is being done for these black kids than the work being Uirned in by the Philadelphia Department of Recreation. A touching scene took place for black America not long ago when the proud PDR swim team — six aicnted, young black athletes - showed up in Cleveland for a national competition. It was believed to be the largest contingent of black swimmers ever to appear at a national meet. The team out of Philadelphia isn’t America’s only group of black swimmers. The AUanta Dolphins swim team, publicly financed, is a huge group and almost entirely black. Some of the Dolphins’ swimmers arc among the best in Georgia. In Chicago, thousands of kids have begun swimming competitively during the summers. There arc highly ranked black swimmers in Michigan. And in Arkansas. And in California. And in Ohio. The list is growing every day. This phenomenon has gone on virtually unnoticed, especially by those who have said in the past that blacks were not physically suited for swimming. Buck Dawson, executive director emeritus of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, once said about blacks, "T^ere was a theory that blacks had thicker skulls than whites and that was the problem. There was a theory about ankles. It’s not a flexible ankle. Everv^ them’sinkers.’” Fortunately, black rising above that thinking. No black swim ever made the United , Olympic team, but sureb oarricr will be struck That’s because in cities, .
