the Pro Booth... aba holdover’s Dorsett may consecutive game face increase mark no NBA feat support dues

Sports

LOS ANGELES-

For the past 11 years, if there was a professional basketball contest being played, the name Ron Boone, was sure to be found somewhere in the following morning’s boxscores of several major daily news-

papers.

The holdover veteran of many American Basketball Association seasons was awarded a ball by referees after he had entered his 845th consecutive game November 22 as a

Los Angeles Laker.

The milestonb for the 6-3, strong-type playing guard involved his toppling by onegame the record of 844 games established by Johnny “Red" Kerr in 12 NBA seasons. However, NBA officials say Boone (a former Idaho St. University standout) can’t be listed among NBA records as the player with the most consecutive games, because 622 of his games were played in the

now defunct ABA.

During the contest against the Houston Rockets in which Boone made his 845th appearance in a row in a professional game, the Lakers extended a current win streak to 14 games with a 121-114 victory over the Rockets. The streak was snapped less than 48 hours later by defending NBA titlist Washington in Landover, MD. Doubledayinvented baseballgame,i939 COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.The game of hitting the small rounded object with a bat, then scurrying around four bases has come quite a ways since its inception some 140 years ago. Baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday, a Union General in the Civil War in

1839.

The National Hall of Fame and Museum is located here with a wide collection of mementos of the national game, and a voluminous illustration of the game’s past heroes.

The rickshaw was invented by an American Baptist minister in 1869 to transport his invalid wife around the streets of Yokohama.

PITTSBURGHWhat’s the value in having the same name as a paternal father,* other than to attest generic relationship, and in some cases, to aid in securing alimony payments for mothers. The case seems that and much more for Karen Casterlow of Weirton, W. Va. Her five-year-old son, Anthony Dorsett Jr., whose father is Dallas Cowboys star running back Tony Dorsett (Sr.), now receives what amounts to $400 per month in support payments. The 23-year-old Dorsett, who signed with the Cowboys in 1977 a $1.2 million contract over five years, has been ordered to appear in court here, following Ms. Casterlow’s recent request for an increase in payments. Having nearly completed his second season in the National Football League, Dorsett has incurred taxes on the pay-ments-as well as bearing his brunt of inflation problems - like every American taxpayer. He was originally ordered to pay $325 a month, plus medical and dental insurance. Court orders increased those payments as recent as this fall. South Africans CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 visit the country, but not actually fight before segregated crowds, said he should address local blacks to lift their morale, spread the teachings of Islam, and see for himself the misery blacks are currently living through. Of. those opposed to Ah’s visit, most felt that by coming to South Africa the American would be given honorary white status while blacks born in the country would continue to “suffer under apartheid." Several predicted such a visit would give credibility t o racism, violate United Nations resolutions banning sports ties with S. African, and provide the government with ammunition in its ongoing propoganda war to win support for the system.

Indianapolis Peace Games Executive Director Beth Mills' has also announced the addition of two sports for the acutal games competition next sum-mer-pushing the total events to 17. Created from expressed interests in the sports-along with a joint agreement by board members of both cities--the events of bowling and cross-country will dawn the excitement of competitors for the 79 events. According to Ms. Mills, bowling enthusiasts will take heed in preparing for the addition of this sport-one that she researched and found to have its origins in the tomb of an Egyptian child buried in 5200 B.C. “Nine pieces of stone served as pins for a stone ball, which had to roll through a marble archway to reach its targets,” Ms. Mills wrote. Her accurate historical account of the sport (which derived its modern day concept in London in the 15th century), is a far cry from the ultramodern lanes of today, which still surround the principle strategy of knocking down as many pins (out of 10) as possible with one toss of a ball. Representatives of the Indianapolis Peace Games for 1979 will journey to Canada next summer for the every-other-year exchange of the two cities hosting the events.

Indianapolis currently has seven officials qualified to referee state and national tournaments. George and Mike DeFabis. Dick DeWeese, Steve Picconi, Gene Parker, Joe Sgro and Hamilton. Russell Kerchar is included along with judges Pat Barlow and John Caldwell. Bob Utter of Pendleton, Dick Brokaw, Terre Haute, and Harold Goodman of Fort Wayne roundout the state’s top referees. It is the belief of many that Indiana needs more boxing clinics and that every new official should have to serve a one year apprenticeship of working club shows and then be voted upon by a board of directors before assigned a tournament. This is a necessity because of the 10 years age limit sanctioned by the AAU, and the age limit of eight authorized by the Silver Gloves.

On many occasions this season the Tigers of LSU used Alexander as a decoy-resulting in his carrying the ball much less than he did in 1977.

! In a matter of weeks the rains will come to Rhodesia. The bush roads will turn into inpenetrable foot paths and once again a great fear will fall 'upon the white settler farms and plantations. In a few weeks time when the sun goes down beyond the western horizons the guerrilla forces of the Patriotic Front will begin their most daring operations against the government of Ian Smith. Their task will be nothing less than the destruction of the

Smith Regime.

In the east the guerrilla forces of Robert magabe, well trained and equipped, are prepared to move deeper into the remaining white held territories and lay the ground work for pentrating the cities. By Rhodesian standards the Mugabe led guerrillas numbering 15,000 fighting men constitutes a sizeable force, which the Smith Regime has after 10 years of trying has failed to isolate from the general population or defeat in battle. The Magabe forces are in de facto control of much of eastern Rhodesia’s real estate. Their moral is at an all time high. They are eager to move on into

the big cities.

To the north the forces of Joshua Nkomo, though smaller in numbers, are just as eager as

quick and fancy foot work. First move in this game plan was the hastily arranged meeting between Ian Smith and Joshua Nkomo. With Smith supporters Abel Muzoreqa Sithole and Chirau proving useless black puppets both London and Washington advised Smith to meet with Nkomo in the hope of arriving at some kind of compromise settlement. Meeting collapsed because Smith was transparently trying to split the Nkomo people away from the

Mugabe group.

Following hard on the heels of this ill conceived meeting the South /‘<ricans appointed as Prime Minister the hardliner Mr. Botha, a man known to favor the use 3f massive force to preserve the dwindling white fortunes in all of Southern Africa. He promptly announced that l)e would not permit the Unite? Nations to supervise elections in Namibia and that he was prepared to back the Smith government in its moment of supreme crisis. Perhaps drawing some wrong conclusions from the SmithNkomo meeting, one of which might have been the hope that Nkomo and Mugabe might be split apart, politicians in London and Washington devised plan to invite Smith to

Since many of our league bowlers went to St. Louis for the NBA Tournament, the news this week is on the scarce side. First of all, we are hoping everyone had a nice and safe hnlidav. Monday night in the Ladies League at Miracle Lanes, high for the gals was Helen Gaither, 554, followed by Pearl Hudson, 541, Mary Owsley 524 and Tiny Rice 521. At the Meadows last Tues day in the Insty Print League, strokin’ for the ladies was Darla Radcliff with a 577. Next was Veda McKenzie’s 560, Ann Lyles 540, Bernice White 537, and Shirley McIntyre 512. The Baskin Robbins League

on Wednesday night is really coming to life. Veda McKenzie was the top lady scoring 590. Ann Lyles shot 558, Florence Hopson 544, Eleanor Grainger 531, and Ann Beck 526. For the guys, Ernest Bluestein rolled 618--with Don Wilson’s 617 and Frank Pinner’s 615 close behind. Steve Eberhart finished with 604. In Mixed League play last Friday at Raceway, Ruth Westmoreland's 545, JoAnn Decker and Ann Egan’s 540 were the top women’s scorers. That’s it until next week, when action will have picked back up # in our leagues considerably.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 could turn around the Iowa football fortunes.” And why is Schallau so entwined in demanding a coaching change? “The University of Iowa, during the 1970s, has not been able to recruit the blue-chip athletes. Iowa has been getting the athletes that Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio State, and Notre Dame don’t want,” Schallau says. “Iowa has been getting stomped on-that’s what it amounts to,” said the 32-year-old Hawkeye alumnus, who now makes his home in Califor-

nia.

There are, problems with Schallau’s proposal, however. Current Iowa coach Bob Commings has one year remaining on his contract, and no one from Iowa has approached Robinson. “That’s right. No one has made me an offer from the University of Iowa I can't refuse. I haven’t had any contact with them,” said the legendary Grambling mentor, who incidentally holds a graduates degree from the University of Iowa. IUPUI Metros meet first-time Anderson foe in MSA tilt The IUPUI Metros basket ball team clashes with Anderson College for the two school’s first meeting ever, Wednesday at Market Square Arena prior to the Pacers’ tilt with the New York Knicks. Prior to the contest with Anderson, coach Kirby Overman's Metros stood at 1-2 on the season. They will close out play for the week with an appearance in the Spring Arbor (Mich.) Tourney, December 1-2 Participating schools include host Spring Arbor, Mercy, antf Western Ontario. In recent play, the Metros fell behind last week 40-29 at the half to a well balanced Hanover College team, and went on to drop an 88-73 contest. Jim Hammond and John Digney scored 18 a piece to lead Hanover, and Kim King and Doug White led the Metros with 20 and 19, respectively. Contributing heavily to the loss was foul trouble which plagued White, Reggie Butler and Bart Lennehan, all whom were relegated to long stretches on the bench before fouling out.

plantations.

In view of all of this and the general decline in its economic health, and in spite of flagrant violations of the selective sanctions imposed by Britain, which have been shockingly violated by the oil companies with the sneaky collusion of the Harold Wilson Labor Government, the Smith Regime and its international supporters have come to realize that if anything is to be salvaged for themselves in Rhodesia they must do some.

Washington then will have to make up its mind whether or not it will support the Patriotic front or back down and support Smith, a course which would surely lead to a wider war in Southern Africa. With the Africans facing a clearly delineated foe their alliances would case harden under the eagis of the organization of African Unity with the strong possibility of Soviet and Cuban aid once again moving into Africa to aid

ness. Nationally pros, all associated with the American Bass Institute, will share their knowledge through films, slides, poolside demonstrations, maps and charts. Pros scheduled to participate include Jerry McKinnis, Jim Rogers, A1 Linder, Tom Mann and Billy Murray, founder of the AIBF. The Midwest Institute is an outgrowth of a bass fishing class initiated by ISU in 1973 - figuredly the first in the country at any educational institution. Entrollment in the courses, offered by the university’s Continuing Education division has reached approximately 250 participants per session.
