Injuries are the last thing Iowa needs,
pecially with the sputtering perfor-
ance of this year's offense. Iowa has
tored more than ten points only once
their last six games, and averaged a
neager 7.7 points a game during that
pan.
The Hawkeyes hope to get back on
rack this week with quarterback Bill
>olan, who played in last week's 34-7
ossto Purdue.
"This will be the first time we've

oesn't seem like a long time, but it was
nough time for the Detroit Pistons to
quander a three-point lead to the Seat-
e Supersonics at the Silverdome last
sigfit.
Jack Sikma dropped in the go-ahead
sucket with twelve seconds left to lead
he Supersonics to a 95-94 win over the
Sistons before a disappointed crowd of
,434.
'YOU SAY., 'Here take it, we don't
ant it,' and that hurts," said Piston
oach Dick Vitale. "We didn't execute

wasn't supposed to be thrown. We lost
o d team that knows how to win.
Tie Pistons were leading 92-89, with
3 seconds remaining, at which point
hey lost the ball. The turnover led to a
6-foot jumper by Gus Williams. This
ut the Detroit lead to one point, with
ighteen seconds left.
John Long's inability to hold onto the
'istons' inbound pass led to the Sikma
ucket. The Pistons called a time-out,
>ut lost their final chance to win when
Cevin Porter was called for traveling
vith seven seconds left in the game.
WILLIAMS, the recipient of a
esperation foul by M. L. Carr, iced the
ictory with two free throws. Bob
anier came back with a meaningless
ame-ending basket, making the final
ore, 95-94.
Sikma led the Supersonics with 20
ints and 17 rebounds, while Williams
ded 19. Lanier was the game's
ading scorer with 26 points. Terry
ler was the Piston's leading reboun-
r with 14.

proper gear for
mountaineering.
(It all fits to-
gether so nicely,
doesn't it?);' :
First and

need to pop the'
mountain top. For " -
this task, faithful moun-
taineers use a church
key. Secular moun-
taineers use a bottle
opener. Don't be con-
fused by these antics
with semantics. Just
remember, the opener is
your primary tool. Be"
true to it and it will be
true to you-

Comfort is crucial. If you

a padded
bar stool,
preferably
one that

(to facili-
tateadmir-
ing the
scenery). At
home, a com-
fortable chair or sofa will
do. Rule of thumb: if it
feels good, and the police
don't seemto mind, do it.
Then turn on the
tube or spin a tune or
crack agood book. The
choice is strictly
between you and the
°f dominant hemisphere
of your brain. Of course,

say the smooth, re-
freshing taste of Busch
is entertainment enough.
And thank goodness

Sits an excellent

Experiment. Most
mountaineers have a
ersonal preference. You'll
velop one too.
Food is next. Proper
nountaineering, not
o mention proper nutri-
ion, requires a smorgas-
bord selection of snacks.
Some mountaineers
have suffered from a
potato chip deficiency,
pretzel imbalance or
her serious dietary de-
its. Plan ahead.
