Passing 'assists' Tigers in victory

WESTERVILLE. Ohio-Mike Steele’s DePauw University basketball team can take a hint. WITNESSING new-daddy Steele passing out cigars with either hand, the Tigers gave the first-year head coach something else to brag about Monday night, a 74-62 victory over Centre College in the opening game of the Otterbein Holiday Tournament. Guards Ted Rutan and Gregg Notestine proved their work is passing fancy, collecting 12 and 10 assists, respectively, on the night. With the Tigers hitting 30 buckets (in 50 tries at a 60 per cent clip), at least 22 assists means DePauw really had its passing game in the groove.

Hoosiers blow 12-point lead, game

NEW YORK (AP) - It will be little consolation to Bobby Knight, but Villanova Coach Rollie Massimino says it wasn’t his fault. “It’s not Bobby’s fault they lost the lead,” Massimino said. “We lost a nine-point lead against Temple. It just happens. That’s what makes the game so great.” Monday night, Knight's 11thranked Indiana basketball team blew a 12-point lead, and Villanova defeated the Hoosiers 63-59 in the first round of the Eastern College Athletic Conference Holiday Festival at

Gophers make Pillsbury doughboys out of Army

By The Associated Press It was simply a case of one team having all the troops. That team was the Minnesota Gophers, who marched all over Army 79-37 in the opening round of Pillsbury Classic Monday night. The ninth-ranked Gophers’ victory was the most impressive on a busy night of college basketball festivals, classics and holiday tournaments. “Going in, we felt we may have the best 10 players on the floor, not one or two best,” said Minnesota Coach Jim Dutcher. “It is Hard to fool guys when you

Starr will have two more years 'to win or else' GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) The Green Bay Packers’ hierarchy, weary of long unfinished rebuilding programs, has given Coach Bart Starr an unmistakable win-or-else mandate along with a new two-year contract. Robert J. Parins, the National Football League club’s chief executive office, said Monday that he and the executive committee’s six other members “believe that reasonable success is foreseeable with our present head coach, and probably an addition to the staff.” But Parins also said Starr’s seven-year coaching record (39-65-2), including a season-ending 28-3 thrashing Dec. 20 by the New York Jets that cost the Packers an NFL playoff berth, weighed as heavily in the decision as did the team’s second-half turnabout of six victories in its last eight games. The decisions on the rehiring and contract length essentially were those of Parins, who was elected chief executive officer by the club’s 44-member Board of Directors Oct. 11. Parins told a news conference he discussed “the general concept of a contract” with other committee members over the last several days. He said he negotiated with Starr during the weeekend, and that the agreement was completed at a meeting of the committee Monday. Although he said the contract does not contain an escape clause, Parins said Starr may not be asked to return for the second year of the pact unless the Packers do well in the 1982 season. “We have not finalized the contract, but we do not anticipate any such provision,” he said. “Nor do I see a need for one. We can always terminate it.” He listed no specific won-lost expectations. Neither he nor Starr would elaborate on Parins’ comment about “an addition to the staff.”

But before the smoke had cleared. Centre had rallied from a 13-point halftime deficit, 35-22, to pull within four at 60-56 wi,tji 3; 49 remaining. ' NOTESTINE dud Tom Kmak hit two quick buckets to’gjve DePauw a little breathing room before the two teams traded baskets to make it 68-60 with 1:29 left. Notestine again went to work. The West Lafayette junior canned two free throws with 36 seconds to go and then iced the game with a jumper from the lane at the 21-second mark. The victory evens the Tiger record at 3-3 and vaults them into Tuesday night’s game again-

Madison Square Garden. Tonight, the 19th-ranked Wildcats meet St. John’s, N.Y., in the title game of the tournament. St. John’s defeated Kansas, 76-75, in the other firstround game. Indiana, now 6-2, led by 12 points, 47-35, with 15:09 to play, but Villanova outscored the Hoosiers 24-8 over the next 8:32 to take a 59-55 lead. Indiana tied it with baskets by Jim Thomas and Steve Bouchie, but Villanova went ahead for good with a jump shot by Aaron Howard with 4:03 to play. After a missed Indiana shot,

If we had continued to play our game, we could have made it respectable,” he said, referring to the small 21-15 lead host Minnesota held at that point. Then the Gopher reserves went on a 14-2 tear and Minnesota was ready for the finals, againt Arizona. In other tournament action involving ranked teams, No." 1 North Carolina edged Penn

Pinone missed the first shot of the 1-and-l, starting a string of missed free throws that could have put the game out of reach. “If we had made some of those foul shots, my blood pressure would have been a little lower,” Massimino said. After an Indiana turnover, Wildcats freshman Gary McLain missed a foul shot, then Kitchel missed one, then it was Villanova’s turn again. And

Tar Heels 'swamp' Arkansas in Gator fog

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Shrouded in obscurity by a dense fog and a potent North Carolina offense in the second half, Arkansas appeared ready to hand the llth-ranked Tar Heels an easy Gator Bowl victory. But the Razorbacks, led by eternal optimist Lou Holtz, staged a fourth-quarter comeback and forced the North Carolina defense to come up with the key plays in a 31-27 victory. “I’m sure a lot of people thought the game was over early in the fourth quarter, but I never felt that way,” Holtz said. “We managed to recover an onside kick and then got a lift from

Wildcats point guard Stewart Granger missed a chance with 16 seconds left. Indiana controlled the rebound on Granger’s missed free throw, earning one more chance to win or tie, but Randy Wittman lost the ball out of bounds. On Villanova’s inbounds play, Granger eluded the Indiana defense, took a lead pass from McLain and drove home a slam dunk that made it 63-59 with three seconds left. “My greatest disappointment comes from the fact that for most of the game, we handled things well,” Knight said. “Un-

Combined with a 1-yard sneak by quarterback Rod Elkins, North Carolina ran up a 31-10 lead with 7:29 left, enough to have sent some of the Razorback faithful out into a night so thick with fog that the public address announcer suggested that the officials would switch from whistles to foghorns.

final period, when the Pacers pulled ahead of the Nets. He came off the bench to score 11 points during a 30-9 streak that clinched the victory for Indiana. “There is a tendency to get out of shape the less time you have to play,” Johnson said. “Other guys are playing big minutes. I don’t have that advantage. “I was getting a little tired out there. There’s nothing like floor experience to keep you in

If anybody did any caving in, I guess we did.” Freshman Ed Pinckney wound up with a game-high 22 points for Villanova, now 8-1 with their only loss to Temple a week ago Saturday, and Granger added 14. Wittman topped Indiana with 15, and Bouchie and Thomas each had 12.

But with the aid of penalties and passes by freshman quarterback Brad Taylor, Arkansas marched back down the field and scored with 5:03 remaining on a 1-yard run by Jessie Clark. A two-point conversion pass closed the Razorback deficit to 31-18. Bruce Lahay’s onside kick was recovered by Ed Jackson and the Razorbacks parlayed the strategy into a 7-yard scoring pass from Taylor to Darryl Mason with 2:44 remaining. Suddenly, the rout was a contest at 31-25. “I was a little nervous,” Bryant said, fearing that his game-high performance would come in a losing effort. “I’m

With the score tied at 93-93, he hit a jump shot from the corner and was fouled by the Nets’ Buck Williams. He made the foul shot to give the Pacers a lead they never lost. “The Nets had a lot of young players with less experience out there. I wanted to make them play defense,” Johnson said. The Pacers trailed 86-73 with

just glad the defense came through in the clutch.” North Carolina took the ensuing kickoff at its own 5. After being pinned in by the Razorbacks, punter Jeff Hayes elected to run out of the end zone for the safety instead of yielding ground for a last-gasp Arkansas attack. After Gary Anderson returned Hayes’ free kick 29 yards to the Tar Heel 49, North Carolina’s defense did its job. The key play was a sack by seldom-used Ronnie Snipes, a freshman nose guard who had been in on several plays earlier. “The center tried to pick me up,” Snipes said of his pass rush which sent Taylor reeling for a
