Cavaliers find formula for limiting Barry while dropping Warriors

By The Associated Press Bill Fitch says he knows the best way to keep Golden State’s Rick Barry from wrecking the rest of the National Basketball Association. “The way you have to play Barry is to run him at both ends of the court,” Cleveland’s coach said after his Cavaliers overhauled the Warriors 96-93 in Thursday night’s only NBA game.

Allison going for )prestige and prize money 9

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) to go for Bobby Allison in his quest for five victories and nearly SIOO,OOO in prize money in the weekend windup to Speed Weeks at Daytona International Speedway. “I’m running all these races for prestige and prize money,” said Allison Thursday ' after winning one of a pair of 125-mile heats building up to the $287,375 Daytona 500 on Sunday. But he complained there wasn’t much of either in that race. “It pays next to nothing and it doesn’t even count as a win for us in the NASCAR standings,” Allison said. “We had to run it to get a good spot for Sunday.” He will start his Matador in third place in the Daytona 500, just behind his brother Donnie Allison in a Chevrolet and David Pearson in a Mercury. The front two were guaranteed their positions when they posted the fastest qualifying

But there’s an even better way. Keep him on the bench. That’s where Barry was for most of the fourth period, when the Cavs shot into the lead and pulled away for the victory.

Pearson went on to Win the other 125-miler, sweeping past Richard Petty’s Dodge on the final lap. It was reminiscent of last summer’s Firecracker 400, when Pearson shut off Petty and nosed him at the finish. But Petty has had the last laugh in the richest stock car race, the Daytona 500. He has won it five times, Pearson none. Petty will start in fourth place Sunday. Allison nipped Richard Brooks’ Ford by 1.6 seconds in the first heat. Allison and Pearson each collected $1,500 for their victories.

wasn’t the only thing that hurt Golden State. Bad shooting and ball-handling contributed to the downfall. “We just ran into a very' cold spot at the end of the third quarter and it carried over into the fourth,” said Warriors’ Coach Al Attles, referring to a stretch when the Cavaliers outscored Golden State 19-2. “We turned the ball over four or five times there

‘ There’s speed, real guts and real people ’ DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) The language is peculiar to the Sport—“lf my car was as smooth as Allison’s I’d be tougher than a pine knot come Sunday.” So are the people—thousands of campers, coolers of beer, brightly decked outfits, Southern accents. And this is the Valhalla for stock car racing, the in-place for its practitioners and frantic followers, the Harvard of its language school. “My uncle’s got a souped-up modified going Friday and my cousin’s in the 500,” a young man said on a 4 a.m. flight which arrived here early Thursday loaded with a wild crowd headed for their sport’s big weekend. Come Sunday, 40,000 or so folks will pay $8 a shot to get into the vast infield surrounded by the 3.5-mile Daytona International Speedway oval. Another 60,000 or so will pay up to $35 each to get in the grandstands for the Daytona 500. There were a pair of 125-mile races Thursday. There are two 200-milers today and a 300-miler on Saturday. Together they bring an estimated S2O million into this resort area’s economy. The young man on the plane explained the lure of it all, “There’s speed, real guts and real people in all this. They risk their fives to be faster than anybody else and they’re not much different from any average guy. “I’d like to be one but I tore my leg and ankle up a couple of months ago racing motorcycles. The doctor had to put some pins and stuff in my leg so I can’t race for a while. But these people don’t let injuries bother them. “You gotta remember that ‘can’t’ never did do nothin.” If you can figure that out— and remember it—there might be something to be learned about stock car racing. Almost endlessly, the men who drive and work on the highspeed machines that draw the thousands are fixing this, changing that, always seeking that extra millisecond. The cars are more than a chunk of steel set on four heels. They’re the means to a living and what the men depend on to get them out of tight situations which could end it all. Buddy Baker gave the hood of his car an affectionate pat as he left the garage area Thursday. He’d led one of the 125-mile races until a wild spin nearly put him against a wall at 180 miles an hour. “When that left rear tire went, the car took off for the wall,” he said. “Man, you talk about somebody doing some cranking. Finally the car angled away from the wall. I didn’t care howmuch it spun going toward the infield. That wall looks double tough at 180.” In this sport, the people who pay to get in mingle with the men they pay to see. Most seem to have something in common, an understanding that their sport and their lifestyles are the ultimate. As the young man on the airplane put it: “There’s nothing that can beat a case of beer and a damn fast car race.”

Glenn Elliot and Jerry Winkler have been named the winners of the respective archery and shotgun divisions of the Greencastle Sports Big Buck Contest. Elliot is pictured above at left with his 155 lb. ten pointer and below with his Browning

Sounds 120, Spirits 114 George Carter scored a game-high 34 points while Center Tom Owens hit 26, including eight in a fourth quarter burst against his former teammates to help Memphis turn back the host Spirits. The spree turned a

one-point deficit into a 113-104 lead with 2:11 to play. Marvin Barnes scored 30 points and Gus Gerard had 29 for St. Louis. Pacers 107, Squires 105 George McGinnis put on a one-man show for Indiana, scoring 26 points, getting four three-point goals, snaring 15 rebounds and handing out 10 assists in the squeaker over the Squires.

Jack Ingram, 1974 sportsman champion from Asheville, N.C., has the pole. He qualified his Chevrolet at 177.137 miles an hour compared to Allison’s 176.827.

Miller shrugs off first round at San Diego

SAN DIEGO (AP) - JohnnyMiller declined to take refuge in the handy excuse of ill health and shrugged off a oneover-par 73. “Just one cf those days. One of those rounds Everybody has ’em even me, believe it or not.” But Miller, who went over par for only the third time this season, still had his sights set on his fourth victory in five starts in the Andy Wiliiams-San Diego Open Golf Tournament. “I’m not out of it by any means,” said the young man who has been the sensation of the pro golf tour for the past 14 months. “Tomorrow will be a big round for me. I’m looking forward to it. A good round and I’m right back in it.” Miller, fighting what he called a mild case of flu, was seven strokes out of the lead after Thursday’s first round. The lead belonged to 6-foot-5 Peter Oosterhuis, an English import who is playing his first full season on the American tour. Oosterhuis, playing in cloudy, cold and windy weather reminiscent of his homeland, had a six-under-par 66. The 26-year-old Oosterhuis,

Baker pitted for a tire change and came home in sixth, earning a seventh row start in the Sunday feature. Brooks and Cale Yarborough in a Chevrolet made the third row, followed by Lennie Pond in a Chevrolet, Dave marcis in a Dodge, A.J. Foyt and 19-year-old Richie Panch, both in Chevrolets. '

for the last four years Europe’s leading player, held a onestroke advantage over John Schroeder, Artie McNickle and Mark Hayes, tied at 67. Two other British Commonwealth players Bruce Crampton of Australia and John Lister of New Zealand were in a group at 68 that also included Lou Graham, Phil Rodgers, Ray Floyd and Bobby Wadkins. Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player are not competing. While Miller admittedly was disappointed over his round, Oosterhuis has been disappointed with his season. The ruddy-cheeked Englishman has led Britain’s Order of Merit for the past four years. He’s the current French and Italian Open titleholder. He’s finished as high as third in the Masters. He lost to Lee Eider in a five-hole sudden-death playoff for the Monsanto Open title at Pensacola, Fla., last year. But he’s had nothing but troubles since gaining his credentials as a full-fledged member of the American tour late last fall.
