The commie freaks managed to get within 50 yards of the Daily at one point during the fighting, but they were repulsed by Daily staffers, with machine pistols, who showed little mercy for the rebels. Police stood by helplessly as upwards of 1,000 students were slain. A Daily spokesmansaid last night that the so-called gridde picks would continue as normal despite the rioting. Entries should be delivered, by armored car or half-track to the Daily by midnight tonight. If the entry is late you will be offed.

"'It was great to be back," 'he said softly, and with feeling. "You never forget where you started." Last night was homecoming for Cazzie Russell, the } night when he came back to where he started his career eight years ago on Michigan's freshman team, and played for the first time in the arena the pundits billed as "The House That Cazzie Built." Most of the 13,433 fans who packed Crisler Arena had never seen Cazzie play in person. To many of thpse, Cazzie was just a legend a name in a record book or someone you watched on the NCAA regionalsand finals on TV when you were in high school in the mid-sixties and thinking of going to Michigan. They cheered the legend and the face and number they'd seen on TV long and loud when he was announced as a starter before the first tip-off. They cheered Walt Frazier and Willis Reed, too. but when they announced Cazzie they cheered at full strength for a minute and a half, and then somehow the cheers grew louder and they cheered for another minute and a half. "The fans were great when I first came here," Cazzie said, "and they haven't changed at all." The cheering didn't stop, at least not for Cazzie, until the game wasover. Fittingly, Cazzie scored the last pair of Knicks' points, numbers 99 and 100, spinning the ball in the bucket with 31seconds left, and the cheers had just enough time to die * - down and fade away before Cazzie and the Knicks left the court with a100-86 victory. None of the players on the court, including Cazize, were exactly awe-inspiring, but in Cazzie's case, at least, it didn't really matter. Yes, the New York Knicks are the W o r l d Champions, and Frazier, Reed and the Piston's Bob Lanier are attractions, too, but Cazzie was the man they came to see, and they cheered every time he got the ball.i Cazzie took the first shot for the Knicks and missed and there were a few sympathetic groans, but the cheers came back a couple of minutes later when he put the Knicks ahead 14-9 with a short jumper with 4:45 left in the first quarter. A little more than a minute later, Cazzie hit from the top of the circle; he also helped out in the quarter with an assist to Frazier on a fast-break, and grab- bed a rebound on one side of the Knick's basket after passing off to Reed on the other. "The first exhibition shows that you have a lot of work to do," he said. "You have to work on every facet of your game until you get back to the point where it's all instinctive." Still, you had the feeling talking to Cazzie in the locker- room that the stats weren't really any more imortant to him than they were to his fans. "I was looking forwarl to coming back here," he said. "I've worked out here (in Crisler Arena) before, but I've never played a game here, and it gave me quite a thrill." "I still follow both Michigan football and basketball close- ly," he continued. "The school gave me an education and I tried to give the fans the best basketball I could." "They say this is the house I built," said Cazzie, un- aware of the people waiting outside. "But there were four other guys playing out there with me who helped to build it, too."

I SLOPPINESS was the name of the game in the first quarter as the Knicks moved to a 24-18 ad- vantage. Willis Reed and Walt Frazier, the two New York super- y stars, dominated the scoring with 12 and eight points each while Dave fBing led thefaltering Pis- ton attack with 10. Russell hit the scoring column with 4:44 to? go with a push from ten feet out.f The Knicks settled down in the{ second quarter and parlayed nine points by electric-headed center Eddie Mast and five more by Fraz- ier into a 53-40 halftime lead. Mast displayed a fine touch from ,way out in addition to his obvious tonsorial attributes. BOB LANIER started the see- ond quarter for the Pistons. and handled himself with authority,I bulling around the bucket for eight points and nine rebounds. The Big Cat showed no trace of his knee injury, although his right{ knee was heavily taped. Reed sat out the second quarter for the Knicks, and never in the game did he and the heralded Piston rookie face off., The third quarter was a tossup as the teams returned to their sloppy ways and combined- for 15 turnovers, fing continued to out- finesse everyone on the floor and collected 11 points and numerous assists. Reed returned to the court for New York and neutralized Bing's scoring with eight points of his own to keep the Knicks in a comfortable 77-63 lead as the third quarter dragged to an end. Russell continued to have his troubles innthe second half, even to the point of having one of his 14 of 16. The only other churning Piston to reach double figures was Lanier with 11; Mueller net- ted eight points while Terry Dischinger and Marlatt baffled the hoop for six each. Frazier and Reed, first in the hearts of Knick fans, were also f first in the scoringcolumn with 16 each. Mast added 13 and bon- ny Mike Riordan tickled the nets for ten. Lanier turned in an outstanding performance on the boards, tak- ing off 14 caroms to teammate and fellow center Otto Moore's 12. The burly Reed outboarded everyone with 15. Dick Blarnett and rookie Ray Hodge were unable to play for the Knicks, as both were struck down by an untimely attack of the flu. 13.433 boisterous fans, the larg- est crowd ever to see a Piston game in Michigan, turned out to see their familiar television heroes come alive on the hardcourt. \$X$XtI YLIMzm -Daily--Sara Krulwicha Ccizzie fires a1way' --- 1 OPEN 3 DELTA SIGMA DELTA TG FRIDAY, SEPT. 25 6-9 P.M.
