Clovers win 2nd in track CLOVERDALE-The Clover boys track team may be 2-0, but coach Kieth Puckett was not happy after the 67-59 victory over Staunton Wednesday afternoon, "Staunton beat us by 15 last year, according to their coach,” Puckett said. "But our performances last night were terrible. If we hadn’t swept the top places in the shot and discus. . .we outscored them 17-1 in the shot and discus and only won by eight points.” CLOVERDALE TOOK eight firsts and Staunton seven. Three of the firsts came in field events. "You might think we should be stronger on the track than on field events, but that’s just not happening,” Puckett said. Cloverdale took the top three scoring positions in the shot put and two of the top three places in the discus, long jump, high jump and 3200-meet run. Tony Hacker, Jon Sanders and Mark McCammon were double event winners for Cloverdale. Hacker exchanged places with teammate Howard Bowen, who won two firsts in the season opener. Hacker put the shot 41 feet 10 inches, with Bowen finishing second, and Sherm Shrader rounded out the complete sweep with a third place. Hacker threw the discus 116 feet, m inches and Bowen again was second. SANDERS WON THE 800meter run in 2:16.0 and the 1600 meter run in 4:56 for Cloverdale. McCammon is still undefeated at long jump and high jump. McCammon long jumped 16 feet, 11M> inches, just a halfinch shorter than his performance against North Putnam. He high jumped six-feet for first and Hacker finished third. Two key performances in the meet, according to coach Puckett, came from Andy Bean and Keith Johnson in the 3200 meter run. Going into the meet’s 13th event, Cloverdale led by only three points and

Bulls are playing like best in league

ByALEXSACHARE AP Sports Writer The streaking Chicago Bulls and the rebounding Philadelphia 76ers have drawn first blood in the National Basketball Association playoffs. The Bulls, who won their final eight games of the regular season, racked up victory No. 9 Tuesday night by beating the New York Knicks 90-80 as Ricky Sobers scored 18 points and Artis Gilmore grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked seven shots. The 76ers, shaking off the disappointment of their seasonending loss at Boston which cost them the division title, overpowered the Indiana Pacers 124-108 behind 32 points by Julius Erving and 10 points apiece by Darryl Dawkins-and Bobby Jones. Today the playoff focus shifts

Tiger Cub golfers off to good start Shooting two of the best early season scores in the school’s history, Greencastle’s high school golf team is out to a 2-0 start. Led by Doug Sunkel and Brad Sellers with a 37 each, Greencastle defeated Monrovia 155-209 Monday in the opening meet of the season at Windy Hill. Sunkel fired a 43 in the gusting Tuesday afternoon wind, leading Greencastle to a 173-194 victory over Cascade at the Plainfield Elks Golf Course. AGAINST MONROVIA, Brent Atwell joined Sellers and Sunkel in the 30s, firing a 38 and Brent Elkins rounded out the varsity scoring with a 43. “This 155 is the best team score we have had since the team of Brad Collins, Drew Terry, Dan Sunkel and Brent Atwell,” coach Bill Ross said. That particular Greencastle team made it to the state championship meet in Indianapolis. Led by Scott Atwell and Steve Penturf’s 37 each, Greencastle also defeated the Monrovia junior varsity 168-244. NOT ONLY DID Greencastle have gusting winds and a strange course to deal with at Plainfield, but also hard slick greens. No Tiger Cubs got below 40 on the flat course. Sunkel’s 42 was the team’s best score and Brent Atwell’s 43 was right behind. Brad Sellers and Brent Elkins each fired a 44 to round out the varsity scoring. Eric Schoenfeld and Matt Headley shot a 46 and 48 each, but only the top four scores make up dual meet scores.

Puckett told them. “They ran a real smart race. They stayed close until the last two laps. They let the other guy break wind for them, then blew him away the last two laps,” Puckett praised. BEAN CLOCKED the 3200 in 11 minutes 39 seconds and Johnson finished second. Cloverdale will host the

West as the other two best-of-three mini-series get under way with Houston at Los Angeles and Kansas City at Portland. The Bulls fell behind 24-12 after a dreadful first quarter but recovered and shut down the Knicks’ running game as Gilmore anchored a staunch defensive effort. The 12 points were the fewest scored by the Knicks all season. “We made an extra-special effort to stop them on defense,” said Gilmore. “At first our guys were tight but then we relaxed, executed on offense and played good defense.” Chicago closed to within 40-35 at halftime, then Gilmore and David Greenwood teamed to lead a 17-5 spurt starting the third quarter that put the Bulls ahead to stay. Greenwood, who had just two points in the first half, scored 11 points in that

Philadelphia frontline depth just too much for Pacers to handle

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Julius Erving scored 32 points, but it was the team depth that triggered the Philadelphia 76ers to a 1-0 lead over the Indiana Pacers in their best-of-three first-round National Basketball Association playoff series. The 76ers won 124-108 Tuesday night, getting 55 points from substitutes who all season have proven they’re not just bench ballast. The Pacers collected only 37 from their second liners. Indiana’s Mike Bantom said it all for the Pacers when he noted, “Philadelphia has depth. They have four forwards and get the ball inside.” One of those forwards was 6-foot-9 Bobby Jones, a six-year veteran who came in to score 20 points, grab eight rebounds and hand out four assists in just 26 minutes of action.

Indiana has a lot of shooters and can get hot quickly.” Pacers forward Mike Bantom says his club was outmanned. “Philadelphia has tremendous depth,” he said. “They have four forwards and they get the ball inside.” Billy Knight led the Pacers with 25 points and Bantom had 19. Chicago will have the homecourt advantage when it tries to wrap up its first-round series against the Knicks Friday night, while Philadelphia will

Jones, however, credited the defense for the victory. “The defense was the big difference,” said Jones. “We played smart basketball, helping each other out, double teaming. Indiana has a lot of (good) shooters and can get hot quickly.” In addition to Jones, Andrew Toney scored 15 points, Steve Mix, 10, and Clint Richardson, 6, to keep the pressure on the Pacers when the 76ers’ regulars were taking a breather. The series continues Thursday in Indianapolis on the home court of the Pacers, who are in the playoffs for the first time. A third game will be played here Sunday, if necessary. Philadelphia coach Billy Cunningham is unhappy about being forced to play the miniseries. The Sixers tied for their division title with Boston, but

Hoosiers return to fans

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) behind Indiana’s late-season turnaround and the guiding force behind the Hoosiers’ drive to the NCAA basketball championship, is a jealous young man. “It took Ray (Tolbert) and Steve (Risley) four years,” Thomas joked with the mammoth welcome-home crowd at Indiana’s Assembly Hall Tuesday. “It took Glen (Grunwald) five years; it’s taken Landon (Turner) and Ted (Kitchel) three years; it’s taken us sophomores two years.” Then, cracking a smile over his round, baby face and looking toward Mike LaFave, the only freshman on the squad, Thomas said, “I’m a little jealous of Mike, because it took him only one year.” LaFave didn’t play in Indiana’s 63-50 victory Monday night over North Carolina for the school’s fourth NCAA title and the second in the past six years under Coach Bobby Knight. But he and the rest of the reserves were as much

Hog may squeal over extradition

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) A North Carolina hog faces possible extradition proceedings this week unless he is delivered to his rightful owner Orr got to bring home the bacon after the Indiana University basketball team downed the University of North Carolina Monday night for the national collegiate basketball championship. But Orr has been squealing ever since the victory, and has intimated that N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt might renege on his bet. Hunt press aide Brent Hackney said the governor plans to keep his end of the bargain unless Orr get any pushier. “That hog would certainly resist extradition,” said Brent Hackney, deputy press secretary for Hunt. “It’s in his best interests to do so.” But after the 63-50 victory that left IU fans in hog heaven, there was talk in Indiana that North Carolina’s chief executive was being strangely silent. Then, Orr got into a little slop-slinging. Asked if he was worried that Hunt was trying to welsh on the bet, Orr, a Republican, replied good-naturedly, “Well, he is a Democrat, you know.” Orr press secretary Jan Powell said plans were being made to collect the prize porker. John M. Ryan, a former judge who is Orr’s legal counsel, figures into the plot. “If we haven’t heard from Governor Hunt by the time Judge Ryan gets back from Philadelphia, we’re going to

try for a sweep at Indiana Thursday night. Los Angeles begins its quest to become the first team to successfully defend an NBA championship since the 1968-69 Boston Celtics against Houston, which comes into the miniseries loose and free-wheeling. “If the Lakers lose to us, they would catch a lot of criticism,” observed Rockets guard Mike Dunleavy.'“That’s the meaning of pressure. We’re in a position where we can just go in and take our best shot,” Although the Lakers compiled a 54-28 record, Los Angeles’ season was disrupted by the injury to guard Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who missed 45 games because of torn knee cartilage. “We’re certainly entering the playoffs from a different vantage point,” said Lakers Coach

lost a bye in a league tiebreaking procedure. Cunningham said the threegame eliminations are the toughest on coaches. “There is so much pressure. Suppose they kept shooting like they did in the first period. You can lose a game. There is pressure in a seven-game series, but much more in three. I think it should be eliminated,” Cunningham suggested. Indiana Coach Jack McKinney, a candidate for coach-of-the-year, described the game simply. “We were beaten by a much better team in every aspect of the game. Three guys (Erving, Darryl Dawkins and Jones) scored 72 points. That’s a potent front line,” McKinney said. “We won’t try any new wrinkles at home, just get playing again,” he added.

Knight remembers Jack BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Even amid the frenzied celebration of Indiana’s NCAA basketball championship, Coach Bobby Knight couldn’t resist another dig at upstate ar-ch-rival Purdue. Several weeks ago, Knight brought a jackass, which was wearing a Purdue hat, onto his weekly television show. He introduced the animal as “Jack.” “We were going to bring Jack with us,” Knight told the welcome-home crowd at Indiana’s Assembly Hall on Tuesday, “but he was up north visiting his brothers, ‘Half and ‘Wise’.” The feud stemmed from what Knight has said were obscene chants by Purdue fans during a game with Indiana in February. Knight said the Purdue band and cheerleaders led the taunts directed at the Hoosiers, and he criticized Purdue officials for tolerating the behavior.

responsible for the Hoosiers’ victory as the starters, Thomas said. “In practice, there’s a red team and a white teapn,” said the 6-foot-l All-American, talking about Indiana’s depth and the team’s optimism for next year. “I can honestly say that since the tourney started, we (starters on the red team) have never beaten the white team, the team we play against

Paul Westhead. “Last year we were divisional champions and were perfectly programmed. Our team was more settled and our starting unit was intact. “We haven’t had that advantage this season.” The series features a matchup of premier centers sixtime Most Valuable Player award winner Kareem AbdulJabbar of the Lakers and rebounding champion Moses Malone of the Rockets. Injuries could play a factor in the Portland-Houston series. Guard Jim Paxson, Portland’s leading scorer at 17 points per game, reinjured a foot while walking across the practice floor Monday. Trainer Ron Culp said Paxson suffered a pinched nerve surrounding the joint behind his big toe.

by Bantom and Johnny Davis topped the Pacers’ scoring. Indiana led midway through the first period, but Philadelphia went on a 16-6 tear and the Pacers never got closer than 10. Erving, who scored his 32 points on 12-for-22 shooting from the field and 6-of-ll at the foul line, took down nine rebounds and handed out nine assists. Unlike Cunningham, Erving said he isn’t bothered by the mini-series. “We know the rules from the start of the season and have to take it like it is.” INDIANA (108) G Johnson, 4 0-0 8, Bantom 9 1-1 19, Edwards 00-0 0, Davis 6 7-819, Knight 10 57 25, Bradley 3 04) 7, Buse 1 2-2 5, McGinnis 2 3-57, C.

in practice. “It’s the guys you don’t see much of, the ones who haven’t played much, they are the most important part of the team,” Thomas added. About 2,000 fans, including Gov. Robert Orr and Mayor William Hudnut, greeted the returning Hoosiers at Indianapolis International Airport early Tuesday afternoon. A motorcade estimated by police

have him draw up extradition papers for the pig,” Mrs. Powell said. “We’ll have that pig one way or the other.” North Carolina officials were quick to respond. “Under the law, if a hog resists extradition, then an extradition hearing is held by, guess who? The governor of North Carolina, who then decides whether to serve an extradition warrant,” Hackney said. Hackney added, however, that the law didn’t mean that Hunt would renege. “But if Governor Orr want’s to get nasty about it, he’s got some real legal problems,” Hackney said. “It sounds like something Bobby Knight would do,” he added. “That’s the kind of diplomacy we’re dealing with.” Besides the problems of diplomacy, there were indications Hunt had encountered cold pig’s feet within the swine community. It seems that no Tar Heel hog wants to set his hooves in Indiana. “The governor apparently is having a hard time living up to his bet,” said Jim Devine, an aide to North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham. “But we’ll come up with one. We’ll bail him out.” Graham was making arrangements Tuesday to have the hog shipped, Hackney said, adding, "I expect what we’ll do is leave it in the main hallway of the governor’s mansion up there. Then he can do what he wants to with it. The hog, by the way, is not housebroken.”

Risley, a reserve, was the only other senior who saw much playing time. The crowd started chanting, “Two more years ... two more years,” as Tolbert and Thomas both wearing the nets from the championship game around their necks came forward to speak. “Thank you for being the best fans in the nation,” the 6-9 Tolbert said. “This sure beats going to class.” With his arm draped over the shoulder of the 6-1 Thomas, Tolbert said, “I’d just like to say this about Isiah truly he is an All-American.”
