The Pistons rallied to within tivo points before Larry Kenon put the game away scoring two baskets with just over a minute remaining. Detroit staged the biggest second quarter in the team's history, scoring 43 points, to overcome a 13-point deficit and take the lead, 67-61. But the Spurs came back to take a 97-92 advantage into the final period. In other NBA action, Bubbles Hawkins scored a career-j high 44 points to lead the New York Nets to a 93-89 over-j time victory over the New Orleans Jazz. Hawkins rallied the Nets, hitting eight of his team's 12 points in the extra period. Along with his high scoring, Hawkins had seven steals. Loyd Free hit three clutch final-period field goals to help the Philadelphia 76ers defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 107-104. Buck Junior Bridgeman, who entered the game with 50 consecutive free throws, missed in the second period, Tankers face stiff test By JAMIE TURNER As the swimming year heads into the final lap for the men's and women's teams, coaches Gus Stager andStu Isaac have different tasks in store the rest of the way. Men's coach Stager leads his team into its final home week- end, hosting powerful Wisconsin on Friday and Ohio State Satur- day. Saturday's meet marks the last home meet for Wolverine seniors Joe Bauer, Bob Bauman, Gordon Downie, Dave Eddy, Rob Helt, and Fred Yawger. Although r e a l i z i n g that Michigan will be the under- dogs in Friday's meet, Stager insisted that the Wolverines will be tough. "Definitely we'll be in the meet,'.' said Stager. "Wisconsin has more depth and experience than we do, but we should be hungry." Michigan and Wisconsin do havecsomething in common - both lost this year to perennial Big Ten champion Indiana. This being the case, the teams will compete for the "Little Nine" title. Stager is not yet sure what swimmers will compete in which events for Michigan, but wherever he puts Gordon Downie, the Olymman figures heavily in the Wolverine pic- ture. "Gordon's our insurance," commented Stager. "Where we think Wisconsin will put their strength, Gordon will be there. "If we can put our best men together we can do it," Stagerl added.I Two of the men he's counting on are freshmen Kevin Morgan and Paul Griffith. Morgan ("A! tough young man"-Stager) and Griffith are capable of fine,, times in a big meet according' to Stager.t Perhaps the telling point of{ this weekend's meets will bet the performance of the Mich- igan diving team, in particu- lar,sophomore Matt Chelich. s Diving coach Dick Kimball be- liPTP tlk Crrn l t* oa , stated "Matt will have to be super." Ohio State will be just as tough for the Wolverines Satur- day, for no other reason than the Michigan swimmers will be keyed so high for the Badgers. In what 'might be the under- statement of the season, Stager assessed his team's chances: eves. i metager, that the iv, "We've got to win races to ers might well determine the win (the meet), we can win outcome.. these races.

Although the tournament de- termines the conference champ, it does not have any bearing on invitations to the national tour- ney. The Wolverines drew a bye in the first round and will there- fore meet Indiana in their init- ial game Friday. The Hoosiers sport a 6-8 record, but have managed to cop fourth seed for the tournament. F 0 U R O F Indiana's eight losses have come at the hands of nationally ranked teams, while Michigan has not met any of the nation's top teams. In contrast to Michigan, In- diana plays a "controlled of- fense," with virtually no fast break. "We' are an up and down team," said Hoosier coach Joy Malchodi. "We're not consist- ent at all. If we're on, we have the possibility to win it all." Northwestern, seeded third in, the tournament, is the only Big Ten opponent which Indi- ana has faced this year, and the Hoosiers were soundly de- feated. MICHIGAN, WITH a 7-7 re- cord will attempt to improve its seventh place finish in the tournament last year. "We are looking very good," said Wolverine Coach Carmel Borders. "Our fast break is working qute well and the re- bounding is strong. We've had a good week of practice and should peak for the tourna- ment." "Although it doesn't have ant effect on slots in the national' tournev the championship does carry a lot of prestige." If the Wolverines do get by Indiana, and into the 3rd round, they will most likely play Ohio State, which must defeat the winner of the Wis- consin - Purdue match-up to en- ter the third round. Ohio State, the top seed in the tournament, is considered by Borders to carry a very strong team. Michigan's only Big Ten op- ponents this year have been Purdue and Michigan State. Michigan handed the- Boiler- makers a 62-49 loss but suc- cumbed to State 63-62. Michigan State received the number two ranking in the tournament.

Michigan did not avidly fecruit the West Philadelphia High School stalwart because Wolverines coaches feel they have a superstar to recruit right next door in Earvin (Magic) Johnson. Opportunity knox for Hudspeth William Clay Ford's second choice as head coach of the De- troit Lions, Tommy Hudspeth, does not really look at himself as being second best. "There are only 28 men in those chairs," Hudspeth said, re- ferring to NFL head coaching positions. "I don't think it's a comedown for me." ' Hudspeth, who had been Detroit's interim coach since Rick Forzano resigned after four games last season, agreed yesterday to a three-year contract as permanent coach. "I was told there were only two candidates for the job," Hud- speth said. "I've known all along what has gone on with the ne- gotiations for Knox. This is a job I wanted very much," con- cluded .the 45-year-old one-time Brigham Young coach. -AP: Top wrestlers toppled Michigan's top two wrestlers each suffered narrow defeats to Western foes in the East-West wrestling meet in Corvallis, Ore- gon last Monday night.

It kills your friends, your relatives, and people you don't even know. But they're all people you could save., If you knew what to say, maybe you'd be less quiet. Maybe fewer people would die. What you should say is, "I'll drive you home." Or, "Let me call a cab."'Or, "Sleep on my couch tonight." Don't hesitate because your friend may have been drinking only coffee never made anyone sober. Maybe it would keep him awake long enough to have an accident. But that's about all. The best way to prevent a drunk from becoming a dead drunk is to stop him from driving. Speak up. Don't let silence be the last sound he hears. N r -- - - ---- --- -i JDRUNK DRIVER, DEFT Y A-i BOX 2345 I ROCKV=LLE, MARYLAND 20852 1 fI1 don't want to remain silent. Tell me what else I can do.
