basis of its routines. Video tapes were sent to the NBA office and a representative was then sent to a Pacer game to judge the squad. The Pacemats are made up of women with such varying backgrounds as college students. secretaries and a mother with two children. Performing at the All Star game is a Cinderella story for them. “There were no promises at the beginning of the year -- just hard work," said Greg Me Collam, director of promotions for the Pacers. “Now that hard work has paid off.** Vanessa Perkins, the Pacemates’ captain, said being chosen took the whole squad by surprise. “We screamed when they told us." she said. “We thought they were kidding us. We never thought about the AllStar when the season began. We just wanted to make this the best year ever for the Pacemates." It appears they’ve done just that by being chosen All-Stars.

The Indianapolis Indians attracted 205.220 fans to Bush Stadium during the 1981 season. This attendance figure represented the highest Tribe total since 1959. T he Indians got off to a good start and were in first place for most of the month of April. The baliclub slumped badly in May. however, and finished third. Nevertheless, the season was not without its accomplishments. One of several large 1981 turnouts marked the first appearance ever of the San Diego Chicken at Bush Stadium on Friday. July 10. A standing-room-only crowd of 12,218 responded enthusiastically to the Chicken’s unique brand of baseball-oriented entertainment. A crowd of 7,603 was in the stands for the Cincinnati Reds 12th annual Exhibition Game at

Bush Stadium on June 8th. Tribe fans enjoyed watching the Indians beat the Reds for the second year in a row. A home run by winning pitcher Bill Dawley and a pair of RBIs from catcher Dave Van Groder highlighted the Tribe’s 5 to 3 victory. The Indian’s annual Fireworks Spectacular on July 4th drew an audience of 6,888 to Bush Stadium and countless others to their t.v. sets as the Entertainment and Sports Network (ESPN) broadcast the Tribes game with Evansville on their coast to coast network. The telecast was but one example of the extra attention the Indians received as a result of the major league baseball strike.

Bob Albertson, a 6-5 senior forward, has missed the entire campaign to date, while David - Scott, a 6-9 junior center, has been sidelined since suffering an injury early in the Indiana State contest.

Like Ball State, Northern was 3-5 before its holiday layoff, but the Huskies will also SIK BtlTM, Page 14
