Life peaches and cream for near-goat

ATLANTA (AP) For a moment, it looked like Fred Marion might have cost Miami the Peach Bowl He had fumbled a Virginia Tech punt, and the Hokies were operating from the Hurricanes 25. Seconds later, however, Marion intercepted a pass from tailback Cyrus Lawrence on the 1-yard line, and Miami rolled 99 yards for the winning touchdown in a 20-10 victory. “I came up thinking fair catch, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted,’’ Marion said of the fumbled punt. “The ball was there, and 1 just didn’t squeeze. But when I got it back, it went

They didn’t get the breaks when they needed them and we did, that was the difference,” said Marion, who also had seven unassisted tackles to tie for the team lead. Miami took the opening kickoff and scored on Chris Hobbs’ 12-yard run. Dan Miller added field goals of 31 and 37 yards. Late in the second period, Dennis Laury kicked a 42-yard field goal for the Hokies, who then took the second half kickoff and drove for a touchdown on a 1-yard plunge by Lawrence. “Our defensive problems

Oakland greeted by cold shoulder

By The Associated Press The Cleveland Browns are hoping to catch the Oakland Raiders cold in Sunday’s National Football League playoff game. “I’d like to see the same kind of weather that we’ve been practicing in,” says Cleveland wide receiver Reggie Rucker. “The bad weather is part of our team’s personality.” Ice-box conditions will no doubt prevail, as they usually do this time of year in Cleveland, as the Browns and Raiders play in the American Conference semifinals; one of four playoff games this weekend. The Dallas Cowboys will play the Atlanta Faisons in a National Conference semifinal Sunday. Today the Minnesota Vikings met the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC and the Buffalo Bills played the San Diego Chargers in the AFC. The National Weather Service says the temperature should be around 12 degrees Sunday when the two teams meet at Cleveland Stadium, and the wind chill has gotten so bad in the past couple of days that even the Browns were forced to move inside for practice on Friday.

were caused by overpursuit,” said Miami middle guard Jim Burt, who also had seven solo tackles. “Lawrence was taking the pitch wide and then cutting back. We’re very aggressive and were running right past him. We made some adjustments and tried to be conscious of the cutback.” “We got burned a couple of times, though, when we slowed up anticipating the cutback and he didn’t,” Burt said.

Weather aside, the Raiders will have their hands full with Cleveland’s high-powered passing offense directed by Brian Sipe, who has completed 340 passes in 554 attempts. Five receivers, including Rucker, have 50 or more catches to their credit. “The Browns are a rather unique team,” says Oakland Coach Tom Flores. “You know how they like to throw the football. Sipe has completed over 50 percent of his passes, and that’s unusual for someone who throws as much as he does.” About the rugged Cleveland weather, incidentally, Flores doesn’t think it’ll bother his warm-blooded Californians: “We played in New York a couple of weeks ago, and the temperature was in the 20s but it didn’t seem to bother us.” That victory over the Giants, by the way, put the Raiders in the playoffs. The Raiders, who took wing after Jim Plunkett replaced an injured Dan Pastorini at quarterback in the sixth game of the season, finished with an 11-5 record in the AFC West. Atlanta, meanwhile, won its first NFC West title this season.

said the long drive was near perfection. “Everybody always says we're a good team between the 20-yard lines,” Kelly said. “But on that one drive we took it from the 1 to the other goal line and put it in. You couldn’t have drawn a more beautiful drive on a chalkboard. “This wasn’t one of my better games,” the sophomore said, Lawrence said he had never thrown a pass in a game. “I thought I threw a pretty good pass, but it was a little short or something,” said Lawrence,

Kmak engineers Tigers' comeback

DELAWARE, Ohio-The name Tom Kmak, misplaced vowel and all, sounds as if it longs to be joined in verbage with the term comeback. Friday night proved to be poetic justice for Kmak and his DePauw University basketball teammates. Come back they did, from as much as a 12-point deficit, to defeat Grove City 7271 and reach Saturday night’s finals of the Frank Shannon Invitational college basketball tournament at Ohio Wesleyan University. KMAK CAME off the bench for coach Page Cotton and came through like poetry in motion with a career-high 20

If Pacer rookie keeps it up, they may make him governor

ATLANTA (AP) - Rookie Louis Orr hit a layup late in the third quarter to give the Indiana Pacers a 79-77 lead over the Atlanta Hawks and that was only the beginning. Orr scored Indiana’s next nine points as well, building an 58-80 bulge, and the Pacers coasted Friday night to a 109106 National Basketball Association victory that broke a threegame losing streak. The 6-foot-9, 190-pounder from Syracuse was Indiana's leading scorer with 21 points, and top rebounder in the game with 10, including nine off the offensive boards. Indiana Coach Jack McKin-

points that helped the now 2-5 Tigers over the hump in the final 12 minutes of play. A 10-point DePauw splurge enabled the Tigers to finally knot the score at 54-all with six minutes to play in the firstround tournament contest. Ebe Cotton, a 6-4 junior forward from Elwood, hit the bucket that tied the score and went to the line with a chance at a three-point play and a DePauw lead. His miss, however, couldn’t have been better for the Tigers. RON HUSER, the 6-6 Fort Wayne sophomore, grabbed the rebound and stuck it back in for a 56-54 advantage that the

ney said Orr’s performance was just an indication of his team’s depth. “That’s been our strong point all year,” McKinney said. “We have been able to miss George Johnson and bring in Louis Orr, who has done an excellent job for us. I saw in practice how good Louis is, and said he’s going to be a very good NBA player by midyear.” The Hawks couldn’t catch Indiana after Orr’s burst, but they made a move in the closing minutes, cutting the margin to 107-102 with 39 seconds left. Then Orr came through again, putting the game out of reach with a baseline jumper.

“Louis Orr made some real good jump shots for them,” Atlanta Coach Hubie Brown said. '*■ “some shots that were critical.” Orr said he was encouraged to have a chance to make a difference in a close game. “It really helps when the coach shows that much confidence in you in tight situations,” he said. “It builds your own confidence up.
