Williams got ball at just right time

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Pistons are sorry they treated Indiana rookie Herb Williams like Rodney Dangerfield. The Pistons didn’t respect Williams enough to put two defenders on him. As a result, he hit three key baskets in the final 24 minutes to help the Pacers to a 100-% National Basketball Association victory Thursday night. “I just happened to get the ball at the end,” explained Williams, who finished with 16 points. “They didn’t double team me, so I had the shots. I thought they would double team me, but they didn't. ”In the first half they were dropping their guards back on me.” Indiana upped its record to 1311 while Detroit, which has dropped 10 of its last 11, dipped to 9-15. Edgar Jones, getting his first starting assignment for Detroit, hit for 25 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and blocked 10 shots. His six first-quarter points gave Detroit a 26-23 lead at the end of the period but Indiana came

Knight is sticking with Dakich

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Dan Dakich, a starter for the Indiana Hoosiers after only three games, is demonstrating he might become a fixture in the backcourt of the 13thranked defending NCAA basketball champions. Dakich, a 6-foot-5 guard, was inserted into the starting unit after one of the most one-sided setbacks in Indiana basketball history an 85-69 loss to Kentucky. In three starts all of which ended in Indiana victories Dakich has scored 18 points, recorded 20 assists, pulled in 15 rebounds and made seven steals. “He sees things and then completes what he sees,” said

Argos'streak ends By The Associated Press Indiana’s longest high school basketball winning stnng has been snapped after 76 games. Tiny Argos High School fell to John Glenn 58-50 Thursday night in the Culver Tournament. In the tourney’s other game, Triton beat host Culver 48-42. The loss dropped Argos to 6-1 Glenn stopped Argos in a big way. The Falcons jumped to a 15-11 lead in the first quarter and never were headed. Glenn led 30-22 at halftime. Argos pulled to within four points, 46-42, at the end of the final period but Glenn went to the line 10 times in the last 2 30 and sank every free throw to stay in front for good. Mike Arnett scored 16 points for Glenn and Phil Groves added 14.

back to lead 48-47 at halftime. “Well, it was nice to contribute but it would feel better to contribute and win,” said Jones, the second-year pro out of Nevada-Reno whom the Pistons obtained from the New Jersey Nets earlier in the season. “It’s very frustrating losing by two and three points all the time.” The Pacers entered the final quarter trailing 71-70 but tied the Pistons at 77-77 with just

Indiana Coach Bobby Knight about the freshman from Gary Andrean. “He looks hard for things, and if he misses them the first time, he looks again. He plays with his head.” Dakich and the Hoosiers return to action Saturday, taking on Kansas State in a game that will be televised in much of the nation (CBS, 3:30 p.m. EST). Both teams are 5-1. Ewe Blab, Indiana’s 7-2 freshman center who missed the last two games with a thigh bruise, was listed as doubtful for the Wildcats. Than meant Knight would start John Flowers, a 6-9 freshman in the middle. Other probable Indiana starters are forwards Ted Kitchell and Steve Bouchie, both 6-8, with 6-6

her squad. Greencastle became the third team this season to shut out the Eminence junior varsity 41-0 and that came with no unusual defensive pressure. The Tiger Cub varsity took an 8-3 first quarter lead and led 2010 at halftime. Finally in the second half the Cubs put it into

over nine minutes to play. After the lead see-sawed back and forth, Indiana went ahead to stay with 5:01 remaining on a demon Johnson layup. The Pacers’ Lewis Orr than added a dunk shot to give Indiana a 92-88 lead with 3:30 remaining. After the teams traded baskets, Williams gave the Pacers a 98-94 lead with 56 seconds left. Jones then made two free throws to cut the Pacers’ lead to two with 43 seconds left. Detroit had a chance to tie the game after Indiana’s Johnny Davis missed a jumper, but Pistons’ guard Kelly Tripucka missed a 15footer with seven seconds remaining. Johnson sank a pair of free throws with four seconds on the clock to seal the victory. “Williams took some professional shots late in the game,” Jones conceded. “I played him as tough as I could, but the shots he made are the kind you have to hit to stay in this league.” For Indiana, Don Buse and Orr each chipped in with 15.

Drake received low grade on performance, but passed test

By WILLIAM R. BARNARD AP Sports Writer These are the dog days of college basketball, when the season is almost put on hold while players take firstsemester final examinations and the few games that are played often are lackluster. Such was the case Thursday night when Missouri-Kansas City visited Des Moines, lowa, to play Drake. \ Drake Coach Gary Garner wasn’t happy despite the Bulldogs’ 68-54 victory over the Kangaroos, but he understood the reason why their shot selection was poor and there were too many turnovers. “Some of our players had finals from 4 to 6 o’clock,” Garner said. “But any time you play a non-Division I team, your players don’t get quite as ready.” Garner also said the team let up a little because it has its sights set on Saturday’s game

Randy Wittman at guard. Coach Jack Hartman brings a veteran squad to Assembly Hall with four starters from last season’s 24-9 team that reached the final eight of the NCAA tournament. Forward Ed Nealy, 6-7, leads a balanced offensive attack that has four players scoring at a double-figure pace. Nealy’s 16.5 average is followed by the 15.7 mark of forward Randy Reed. Guard Tyrone Adams has a 13 point average on a team that has hit a torrid 56.2 percent of its shots from the field thus far. The other Wildcat starters are senior guard Tim Jankovich and center Les Craft, a 6-10 junior averaging 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

Indiana has come back from the loss to Kentucky with onesided triumphs over Colorado State, Penn State and Tulane. “We wanted 120 minutes of solid, smart basketball, doing the things we have to do to win,” said Knight about those three games. “We did a goou job on what we worked on and what we wanted to do.” Kitchel goes against Kansas State as the club’s leading scorer with a 21.7 average. His average might have been higher if a bruised thigh had not forced him to sit out the second half against Penn State. Kitchel, shooting nearly 89 percent from the free throw line, is working on a streak of 17 consecutive successful foul shots.

Endurance is how Lloyd beat Austin; Jaeger gets lesson

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Chris Evert Lloyd says her 3-hour, 20-minute victory over rival Tracy Austin in the $250,000 Toyota tennis championship was among the most demanding of her career. “When you have a rivalry like Tracy and I, there is no give and take,” said second-seeded Lloyd, who edged third-seeded Austin 6-4, 4-6, 7-6, in Thursday night’s second round of the eight-woman, double-eliminati-on tournament. “Our matches have always been the most physically and mentally demanding because we are so much alike,” Lloyd said. “This was one of the most physically grueling matches I’ve ever played. I felt aches I never felt before." Lloyd ended the baseline battle by topping Austin 7-5 in a tiebreaker before 6,214 spectators at the Meadowlands Arena. Lloyd was grateful that the victory allowed her a day off before Saturday’s semifinals. Austin plays again tonight against Yugoslavian Mima Jausovec, the No. 7 seed, who ousted fifth-seeded Hana Mandlikova of Czechoslovakia 6-3,6-3 Thursday. Also in action tonight is fourth-seeded Andrea Jaeger, who takes on sixthseeded Pam Shriver. Top-seeded Martina Navratilova easily dispatched Jaeger 6-2, 6-3, Thursday, while Shriver ousted eighth-seeded Virginia Ruzici of Romania 6-2, 4-6,6-2. “I didn’t make it easy on

myself, that’s for sure,” Lloyd said. “But I didn’t give up mentally. In other matches against her, I sort of gave up a little bit. She’s matched my intensity and determination. I’ve never met anyone who could match it like her.” It was Lloyd’s first indoor victory over her 19-year-old nemesis in six matches, and her seventh in 14 meetings overall. “My spirits should have been really negative, but I wasn’t dreading playing her tonight like I do sometimes. I was eager to play her,” said Lloyd, who turns 27 the day after Sunday’s finale. v Lloyd, ranked No. 1 in the world, said her self-confidence stemmed partly from Austin’s pre-tournament statements that by winning this event, she could bump the three-tinie Wimbledon champion and epd the year as the top woman tennis player. “I’ve been reading abqqt Tracy saying whoever wins this will be No. 1. I don’t agree with that, and I felt Tracy would pnqt pressure on herself because it I didn’t feel any Lloyd said.
