German gangs smashed windows, looted shops and assaulted Dutch fans in 12 hours of violence surrounding Holland's 3-1 victory over Germany in the European Championships in Goteborg, Sweden.

Riot police with horses and dogs repeatedly chased mobs of Germans through the center of Goteborg. The gangs dispersed and formed again, seeking openings through police lines to get at crowds of celebrating Dutchmen, but officers averted serious fighting.

Policeman Lasse Hansson said 23 were arrested, all Germans except for one Dutchman. He said charges against them included inciting riot, possession of weapons and resisting arrest.

The strategy of both sides continues to emerge in the antitrust suit by eight players that could decide the future of the NFL.

As they had in the first two days of the trial, the players emphasized their lack of freedom to test their value on an open market. The owners emphasized the money they made to the all-woman jury of eight.

That was the theme as San Diego guard Dave Richards and Green Bay quarterback Don Majkowski took the stand. Majkowski and Richards are two of eight NFL players suing for free agency in an antitrust action that challenges Plan B, the system that allows each team to protect 37 players each season and allow the others to become free agents. All eight were protected in 1990, the year they filed the suit.
