"A month away, I hope nothing happens, but the closer it gets to the fight the happier I am." There are problems between Tyson and his manager, Bill Cayton, and there have been reports that his 4-month-old marriage to actress Robin Givens is rocky. So there has been a good deal of speculation about whether the turmoil will adversely affect Tyson's performance Monday night in his title defense against Michael Spinks.

SPORTS BEAT EDITED BY ALAN MATTINGLY Ex-Tech coach Bobby Dodd dies; U.S.
Select team rolls Bobby Dodd, longtime football coach and athletic director at Georgia Tech, died of lung cancer yesterday in Atlanta. He was 79. Dodd had a record of 165-64-8 in 22 seasons as Tech's head football coach. His teams went to 13 bowl games, winning nine. He retired as coach after the 1966 season and as athletic director in 1976.
Often called the "Old Gray Fox," Dodd was known as a coach who saw football as fun, not drudgery. The day before a game at Louisiana State in 1950, members of the Tech squad were seen playing volleyball in Tiger Stadium. Tech won 13-0 the next day. In 1978, he said he had turned down an offer from then-coach Pepper Rodgers to help coach the Yellow Jackets again. "I haven't had much desire to go out through the years and coach in the preseason and during the week.
I get the bug to coach on Saturday afternoons. I like to run a football team," he said. BASKETBALL Charles Smith scored 22 points and Dyron Nix added 17 points and 11 rebounds as the U.S. Select team defeated France 100-82 in Paris last night. It was the fourth straight victory for the team on a six-game European tour to determine additional finalists for the Olympic basketball trials.
Sixteen finalists already have been chosen. Smith, a 6-foot-1 guard from Georgetown, had 14 points in the first half. Nix, of Tennessee, is the only player on the U.S. team to score In double figures in all four games. Shelton Jones of St.
John's had 15 points, and Dan Majerle of Central Michigan had 14. Rex Chapman of Kentucky scored two. The United States will play an Austrian all-star team tomorrow. The New Jersey Nets announced the appointment of Butch Beard, a former Breckinridge County and University of Louisville star, as assistant to head coach Willis Reed. Beard, who played with Reed on the New York Knicks, has spent the past six years as a television analyst for the Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks.
"Returning to the coaching ranks has always been my goal," said Beard, who spent four seasons as an assistant to Knicks coach Red Holzman. RACING Proper Reality, winner of the Arkansas Derby and the Illinois Derby, is to have surgery this week for a cracked leg bone and will not race the rest of the year. "It could be the end of his career," said James Winn of Hot Springs, who owns the colt. A crack in the colt's cannon bone in his left foreleg showed up after a workout last week at Canterbury Downs at Shakopee, where he was preparing for Saturday's St Paul Derby. The bone, like a human's shin, runs between the knee and ankle.
Proper Reality was fourth in the Kentucky Derby; he did not run in the Preakness or the Belmont Stakes. AGENTS More than 40 athletes have agreed to testify for the prosecution if a case involving sports agents Norby Walters and Lloyd Bloom comes to trial, The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution reported. The agreement is part of a plan under which the athletes would avoid being charged in the federal grand jury investigation, the papers said. The 40 to 45 athletes also must perform 100 to 250 hours of community service and must pay back their university scholarships for the years they were under contract to the agents, the papers said, quoting unidentified sources. Prosecutors claim Walters and Bloom offered the athletes cash and contracts in violation of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.
BASEBALL The St. Louis Cardinals named Jim Riggleman director of player development after Lee Thomas, who held that position eight years, joined the front office of the Philadelphia Phillies. Riggleman, 35, has been a manager in the Cardinals' farm system since 1982, most recently with the Class AA Arkansas Travelers. Thomas, 52, was named vice presidentdirector of player personnel for the Phillies. The contract that the San Diego Padres gave pitcher Andy Benes reportedly is the richest ever given to an amateur player.
In a meeting Monday in Evansville, Benes and the Padres agreed to a contract for 1989 worth about $230,000. That surpasses the $210,000 the New York Mets gave Darryl Strawberry in 1980. Benes just completed his junior year at the University of Evansville. He won't join the Padres until next spring so that he can play on the U.S. Olympic team in September.
Coaches for the U.S. Olympic team cut their roster to 25 players at tryouts in Millington, Tenn. The latest player to be sent home was pitcher Tim Mauser of Texas Christian University. The roster must stand at 20 for the Olympics. Luis Aquino pitched the first no-hitter in the American Association since 1985 as the host Omaha Royals defeated Columbus 2-0 in a Triple-A Alliance game Monday night.
Aquino, 23, struck out 12 and allowed just four balls to be hit to the outfield. He had a perfect game until a walk with two out in the eighth inning. GOLF Jack Nicklaus was selected Golfer of the Century Monday night as the player who has most dominated the game in he United States. The award was presented by the Centennial of Golf in America in conjunction with the PGA Tour, the LPGA, the PGA of America and the National Golf Foundation. Nicklaus beat out seven others chosen by a panel of officials, golf historians and writers.
Others who were up for the award were Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Kathy Whitworth, Mickey Wright and Babe Zaharias.
