Heart attack victim listed as serious
Jim Murray, a volunteer for the Sports Information Office at Allen Field House, was recovering yesterday in intensive care at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, a nursing supervisor said.
Murray suffered a heart attack before the women's basketball game against Nebraska on Wednesday night.
ine supervisor said Murray was feeling better and was conscious although he was listed in serious condition.
Murray, who has been associated with the University for more than 30 years, has volunteered his time to sports information by preparing statistics after the men's and women's basketball games at the field house.
Seattle awaits All-Stars
SEATTLE — The NBA All-Star game
will bring exceptional athletes and between $8 million and $10 million to the Seattle area this weekend, a local organizer said yesterday.
er said yesterday. That figure, said sports promoter Bob Walsh, may underestimate the money generated by the expected 8,000 out-of-town visitors who will be on hand for two days of parties, meetings and contests that will culminate in the All-Star Game Sunday at the Kingdome.
"We know from past experience of the kind of impact a major sporting event has in Seattle that $8 million to $10 million is a conservative figure," Walsh said. "I am basing that on the (NCA) Final Four in 1984 among other events.
"After some pretty exhaustive studies, we figured that about $30 million was generated from the Final Four. For this event there will be fewer people coming, but this is a slow time of year for tourism and we've got six hotels totally booked," he said.
There is another factor to consider when
attempting to calculate the money the All-Star Game might generate. Tomorrow's events, which include an old-timer's game, a three-point contest, and a slam dunk contest, will be televised nationally by WTBS.
Sunday's All-Star Game will be shown nationally on CBS.
"There is an intangible," said Levine. "With WTBS on Saturday and CBS on Sunday, they will be showing Seattle as a wonderful place to visit."
Comets name new coach
KANSAS CITY, Mo — Dave Clements, who took teams to the playoffs in four of his five years as coach in the Major Indoor Soccer League, yesterday was named head coach of the Kansas City Comets.
"He meets all of our criteria. He is very disciplined, organized and experienced, and he's also aware of our off-field criteria," said Comets president Tim
Leiwake in a late morning news conference at Kemper Arena.
Clements, 41, coached the St. Louis Steamers from 1982-85 and the Denver Avalanche from 1980-82. He led the Steamers to the championship series in 1983-84 and took Denver to the playoffs in 1981-82 and St. Louis to the playoffs in 1984-85.
Clements replaces interim coach Niki Nikolic, who took over after Rick Benben was fired on Jan. 19 following the Comets' 9-11 start.
Rockets star has surgerv
HOUSTON — Houston Rockets All-Star forward Ralph Sampson had torn cartilage removed from his left knee yesterday at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville, Va., the NBA team announced.
The Rockets hope that the 7-foot 4-Sampon will return to action before the season ends.
Sampson injured the lateral cartilage of
his knee on Tuesday in a Rocket-Denver Nuggets game in Houston. He was injured when he landed on another player's foot with 6:15 left in the first quarter. He went to the locker room and returned with a brace on the knee. He started the second quarter, but had to be taken out.
Sampson had missed 11 of the Rockets' first 13 games this season with ankle injuries.
