Benson will sit out Olympics
J I
NEW CASTLE, Pa.-
Indiana basketball star Kent
Benson, his left wrist mending
following a second operation
two weeks ago, said yesterday
he will be unable to play in the
Olympics.
"If I can't represent the
United States to the best of
my ability, I shouldn't go,"
said the 6-foot-11 center, the
sole returning starter from
the Hoosiers' undefeated NC-
AA championship team.
Complications d e v e 1-
oped two weeks ago. A 10-
minute surgical procedure
turned into a 2 -hour opera-
tion after doctors determined
that one of the pins was em-
bedded too deeply and had to
be removed.
The cast, which was supposed
to come off then, will be left on
for another three weeks and a
special rehabilitation program
for the wrist was postponed for
another five to eight weeks.
"With that amount of delay,"
Benson said, "there just is no
way I can be ready. I had to
make the decision now in all
fairness to the United States,
the Olympic Committee and to
the other Olympic contenders."

Ali settles
BONN, West Germany --
A threat to call off Muham-
mad Ali's heavyweight title de-
fense against Richard Dunn of
England disappeared Thursday
after a $160,000 compromise
that left Ali saying, "It
wouldn't have hurt me none to
go home."
The money was equivalent to
the amount Ali was estimated
to have to pay in German tax-
es on the fight Tuesday. Arum
said the problem was resolved
when tax officials agreed to re-
duce the amount to $160,000.
