Page 8-Wednesday, March 17, 1982-The Michigan Daily Pistons sail past Clippers By JESSE BARKIN Special to the Daily PONTIAC - The Pistons tried, very hard, but they just could not lose to the Pacific division cellar- dweller San Diego Clippers, as Detroit heldon for a sloppy 114-110 win last night in the Silverdome. The Pistons shot 32 percent in the final quarter and committed five turnovers late in the game, but what it all came down to was the clutch of free throw shooting of Isiah Thomas and Terry Tyler. COACH SCOTTY Robertson was relieved. "We survived. We didn't play well in the fourth quarter, but I've said it before, there ain't no such thing as a bad win." With 51 seconds left in the game and the Pistons nursing a 109-108 lead, Kelly Tripucka missed a short jumper but the rebound went out of bounds of the hands of San Diego's Jerome Whitehead and Detroit kept possession. Thomas then was fouled and hit two free throws with 34 seconds left to give the Pistons a 111-108 lead. San Diego came back quickly as Michael Brooks tipped in a missed Whitehead lay-up to close the gap back to one. After a Detroit timeout, Tyler was fouled immediately on the inbounds pass and went to the line and sank two shots to stretch the lead to 113- 110. AL WOOD MISSED a jumper with 13 seconds left and Ron Lee's rebound sealed the victory. Thomas added one more free throw to make the final score 114-110. "Terry (Tyler) and I (Thomas) made some big free throws at the end to win it for us," said Rober- tson. "Isiah is playing very well for us right now. Of- fensively, I like what he's doing for us. Thomas led the Pistons with 27 points and Tripucka added 26, but except for the wild finish the game was a sleeper for the 4,185 fans. In fact, the biggest response from the crowd came when San Diego rookie Tom Chambers, a 59 percent foul shooter, came to the line after he already had missed seven straight free throws. The crowd quieted down quickly after he made one on his second try. THE ONE BRIGHT spot for the dismal Clippers; who dropped to 16-49 for the year, was the play of second year forward Brooks. Brooks scored 33 poin- ts, grabbed 16 rebounds, and had five asists, while almost single-handedly bringing the Clippers back with three consecutive turnaround jumpers in the last two minutes. Detroit led, 29-28, after one period, and stretched it out to 48-36 midway into the second. But the Clippers clawed back behind the play of diminutive guard Charlie Criss, who scored 14 of his 22 points in the fir- st half. With six minutes left in the half, the 5-8 Criss scored a lay-up to narrow the Piston lead to 57-54. Then after Chambers scored on a dunk and Whitehead blocked a John Long lay-up, Criss scored another easy lay-up as the Clippers took the lead 58-57. San Diego shot an amazing 82 percent in the second quarter on 14 of 17. II r AP Photo Diego 10. Qs orfeit) 9.1.Dge Mini-Soccer All-Campus The Mudhens 10, Sname 2: Despite a quick goal by Sname in the first few seconds of the game, the Mudhens were able to regroup and easily came out on top. The excellent teamwork of the Mudhens allowed them to dominate the game completely. Leading scorer, Mark Fookman, put in five goals, followed by Steve Shenfeld with two, and Andre Briane, Rob Crim and Ted Buiting with one a piece. The Mudhens were also at a disadvantage due to the injury of starting goaltender Bob Swiller. Rowdies 12, Chicago House 1: The long history of the Rowdies seems to say it all. Most of the team members began playing together in 1977, and since then they have acquired four championships, three from the outdoor league and one from the indoor league. Their game against Chicago House started them on their way to another season of smooth sailing playing mini- soccer. Accounting for their goals were Chris Leonard with one, Mark Ohlaver with a hat trick, and Steve Paul, who had an excellent game with eight goals. "This is our last season together so we hope to close it out victoriously once again," said manager Chris Leonard. Sex Pistons 8, Foozers 4: The Sex Pistons clearly dominated this game as they were leading 6-0 at the half. The Foozers came back in the second half, only because the Six Pistons took it easy and substituted often, knowing they had complete control of the game. Captain Simon Hester had five goals, with Bobby Hirsch and John Irvin each contributing one. Some members of the Sex Pistons also played in last year's outdoor league when they played well enough to reach the semi-finals. Volleyball Independent The Club 2, The Oilmen 0: Managed by Brian Snoap, the Club was formed while singing for the men's glee club. "We feel it's going to be an interesting season as it is our first time playing volleyball together. We have a lot of potential and hopefully some will be developed,"said Snoap. Jeff Beggs and Jeff Steele look to be the team's strong players after game one of pre-playoff action. Residence Hall Solidarity 2, Wenley House 'A' 0: Team effort characterizes Solidarity, as it professes to have no stars, however Rob Leland and George Stone had ex- cellent games this week. Solidarity started off slow in both games but pulled its forces together to come back and win two consecutively. Solidarity has a team for every sport, so while it has not played volleyball until this season, it has learned to play well together as a team, and doesn't feel the lack of experience will hinder the team's chances at good results in the playoffs. Swisher Sweets 2, Anonymous Force 0: Swisher Sweets took an easy win with scores of 15-8 and 15-3, respectively. The Sweets main problem is that they have no one tall enough to effectively spike the ball. "We play for fun but we think we're in contention because everyone is athletic enough to overcome our lack of expertise and height," commented player Renee Callies. In addition, the leadership and skill of Randy Taylor basically holds the team together. Carp 2, B.C.'s 0: Carp has been around together for four years, competing both in the independent and co-rec leagues. Last year it took second n the in- dependent and fourth in the co-rec. Carp's goal this year is to take first in both divisions. Coach/player Gene Macario feels his team has a good chan- ce because it has added a few former Michigan players. Macario, along with Bob Dickinson and Steven Kelly were the originators of the team and have kept the team together. As expected, Carp beat the B.C.s fairly easily.

Rounding out the top four for the Blue linksters was Ryan Wiezycki who ended up at 253. Walker to stay at Georgia ATHENS, Ga. (AP)- Herschel Walker, the two-time All- American tailback at Georgia, announced yesterday he will not challenge the National Football League rule that prohibits the drafting of undergraduates. Walker's decision, announced at a news conference here, means the 6-1, 222-pounder will remain at Georgia and play football for the Bulldogs next fall, his junior season. "I have weighed all the facts and have decided that I will remain at Georgia and will not challenge the NFL under- classman rule," Walker said in a statement prior to the news conference. "I still feel the NFL rule is basically unconstitutional. However, I don't want to interfere with the system that's i J 1 1 1 l : o season designed to be the best for the majority of people involved" he said. Dodgers 6, Tigers 2 LAKELAND, Fla. (AP)- Detroit reliever Kevin Saucier, rattled by a pair of balk calls, yielded four successive Los Angeles singles in the 10th inning yesterday and the Dodgers took a 6-2 exhibition victory over the Tigers. Saucier, who came on to start the 10th, issued a one-out walk to Greg Brock, then was called for two successive balks which sent Brock to third. Brock scored the go-ahead run on Steve Yeager's single. Yeager scored on successive singles by Bill Russell and Rudy Law and Steve Sax singled home Dave Anderson, who was running for Russell. Law came home while Sax was caught in a rundown between first and second. THE TIGERS got both of their runs in the second when Tom Brookens homered off Jerry Reuss with John Wocken- fuss aboard. Los Angeles got one back in the seventh when Pedro Guerrero homered off Jack Morris. The Dodgers tied it in the eighth when Brock doubled, went to third on Yeager's groun- der and came home on Russell's fly ball. LA reliever Ale jandro Pena picked up the victory for the Dodgers, who improved their Grapefruit League record to 5- 3. Saucier took the defeat for Detroit, which is now 3-6. xr Summer 1982 VAILABLE FOR )UNSELORS ne or more of the following activities: gall " Basketball " Boat Driver " Canoeing o " Drums " Fencing o General Counselors e Indian Lore " Karate o Lacrosse " Nature .
