DAVE WINFIELD RETIRES
Dave Winfield, one ofonly six players in major league history to compile
3,000 hits and 400 homers, announced his retirement today.
Winfield made the announcement at a news conference in New York,
saying his injured shoulder made it impossible to continue as a productive
major league player. The44-year-old Winfield struggled through an injury-
plagued 1995 season with the Cleveland Indians. He was hampered by a
strained rotator cuff in his left shoulder and was left off the Indians’ post­
season roster. Winfield hit ju s t. 193 with two homers and four R-B-l in 45
games with the Indians last season.

DANIELS DIES AT HOSPITAL
University of Dayton starting center Chris Daniels died early this
morning at a Dayton Hospital of undetermined causes. He was 22.
Dayton sports information director Doug Hauschild said Daniels was
having convulsions at his off-campus home at approximately 4 a.m. EST
and was taken to Miami Valley Hospital. Daniels arrived at the hospital at
5.02 a.m. ES I in full cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at 5:31
With Wilson’s Tyrone Manlove
out of action, senior David Jackson
put the No. 3 ranked Trojans on his
back and carried them to a 61-56
victory over the No. I ranked Benson
Tech men.
Jackson, who could be the best
player in the state, led the Trojans on
a 19-3 run in the pivotal third quarter
with 17 points to give the Trojans a
43-33 lead going into the final pe­
riod.
Jackson, who was only I for 10
from the field in the first half, scored
26 in the second half and had Wilson’s
first seven points in the third period.
The 6 foot 4 senior finished with 31
points to lead the 15-2 Trojans.
Wilson, 12-1 in league, moved
in to a first place tie with the Tech men
for the Portland Interscholastic
League championship. Benson, who
controlled most of the first half, had
won the last five meetings between
the talent-laded teams. With no
MODELL REPORTEDLY TALKED WITH SHULA
ABOUT DROWNS JOS
Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell reportedly is trying to lure Don
Shula out of retirement to coach the team if the franchise is allowed to
relocate to Baltimore.
I he Washington Post, citing N-F-L sources, reported today that Modell
met with Shula, the National Football League’s all-time winningest coach,
at Modell’s home in Palm Beach, Florida, and the subject of Shula’s
coaching was broached.
I think he d like to be involved with an N-F-L team in a major capacity,”
Modell told the Post. “I’m going to follow it up. I don’t know if he wants
to coach again in the N-F-L. He didn’t seem to be going in that direction,
but that could change tomorrow. That’s all I can tell you.”

14, but only had two in the second
half. The Techmen lost their first PIL
game as the Trojans broke their 12
game winning streak with a rare vic­
tory at Benson Tech.
In the biggest game of the year,
Jackson stepped up and gave the
capacity crowd of nearly 2,(MX) at
Benson one of the more dazzling
perform ances in recent history.
Benson, who handed Wilson a 7 1 -70
loss at Wilson Jan. 10, is a very good
team who lost their composure in the
third quarter onslaught.
"It just came down to who wanted
it more, said the confident Jackson.
"And I'll be dammed if were going to
lose six in a row."
The Techmen don’t have the tal­
ent of a Wilson or Jefferson, but
usually play together and unselfish
enough toovercome the mismatches.
Last Friday, the Techmen didn't call
any timeouts during a 19-3 run and
had no answers for a young man
having the best game of his young
career.
"I wanted this game more than
anybody on the floor and I think I
showed it," said Jackson.
Jefferson (10-3) looks to have a
lock on the third spot in the PIL with
a 73-6.3 victory over Franklin (5-8).

with a 73-64 victory over the Gener­

EAST WINS, JORDAN MVP
INDIANS HERSHISER WILL REMAIN WITH TRIDE
After auditioning for a role with Eox Sports earlier this week, Orel
Hershiser apparently will remain with the Cleveland Indians.
Indians General Manager John Hart told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that
Hershiser’s interest in becoming a broadcaster is on the shelf for now.
“Orel wants to play at least two more years,” Hart said. “He was
apologetic. He said he definitely wants to keep pitching. This audition is
something Orel had planned to do last November. He was in California
playing in a golf tournament this week and just decidu 9 o Th it because he
wanted to see ifhe was any good. But this is something he’s thinking about
doing down the road.”
Manlove, who was on a one game
suspension, the Trojans looked to be
in fora long night with Benson lead­
ing 29-14 late in the second quarter.
But Jackson, who looked a man
among boys at times, came out deter­
mined in the second half and put on
a spectacular performance as the
Techmen had no answers.
We really don’t get along that
mueh, said Jackson, the No. 6 scorer
in the state, on the fierce rivalry. "It s
a game we both really wanted."
Jackson’s phenomenal play lit a
fire to the Trojan defense in the third
quarter, as the Techmen were held to
an embarrassingly low three points
by the stifling Trojan pressure.
Wilsons' Jermaine Thompson had
an exceptional game running the Tro­
jan attack and finished with 12 points
and some key penetration into the
Techmen middle.
Benson, which put on a late run in
the forth quarter, was again led in
