But unless something drastic hap- pens when the Georgia Bulldogs square off against the Wolverines today at Crisler Arena, the Michigan coach shouldn't have too much to worry about. THE BULLDOGS, Final Four par- ticipants just two years ago, could possibly have some dawg days ahead of them. Georgia's top two players last year, Vern Fleming and James Banks, graduated and another key player, Gerald Crosby, seriously burned both legs in a fire this summer and is not yet up to his usual form. "I would say in all honesty they're going to be picked in the middle of the pack in the SEC (Southeastern Con- ference)" said Frieder, whose Wolverines blitzed the Bulldogs, 76-70, last year in Athens. "They lost Fleming and Banks and they don't have a lot of size." Size is, definitely a shortcoming for Georgia. David Dunn, a 6-8 sophomore who transferred from Georgetown, is the tallest starter on the squad, while forwards Horace McMillan and Richard Corhen, 6-5 and 6-6 respec- tively, may see a lot of armpits as they battle under the boards against their taller Michigan opponents. THE BULLDOG program did receive some good news when 6-9 high school sensation Cedric Henderson finally was admitted to Georgia. The Marietta, Ga. native had initially made a verbal commitment to Louisville, but then signed letters-of-intent with both Georgia and Carson-Newman, creating a huge mess along the way. The bad news for the Bulldogs is that Henderson does not become eligible to play until December 7 because of academic requirements. beat you down the floor for baskets. We just have to make sure that they're not doing all the running and us doing all the following." McMillen and Corhen lead the Bulldog scoring attack, although junior guard Donald Hartry paced the field 'They're a lot like Louisville with the type of quickness and athletes that they have. But they're not as big, thank God.' -Bill Frieder Still, Georgia plays tenacious defense and exhibits team speed that could knock a seemingly superior opponent like Michigan off balance.

NBA R OUNDUP: Bullets shoot up Pistons with 12 points in Georgia's season- opening victory over Birmingham Southern, 59-38, Wednesday night. CROSBY (9.9 ppg last season) did come off the bench to play 18 minutes in the Birmingham Southern contest. Bulldog coach Hugh Durham also will likely utilize forward Joe Ward off the bench, a player whom Frieder described as "an explosive type who could get three, four quick baskets on you in a hurry." Michigan,'meanwhile, will stick with the same starting five it employed in last Monday's season-opening victory against Detroit. The Wolverine frontcourt of Roy Tar- pley, Butch Wade and Richard Rellford shouldn't experience too much difficulty handling the smaller Georgia forwards, but it remains to be seen how well it can perform without Tarpley. "We weren't really good without Tarpley in the game," conceded Frieder. "And we weren't very good the first five minutes with him in." PONTIAC (AP) -Gus Williams and Frank Johnson scored 21 points apiece last night to carry the Washington Bullets to a 114-106 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The victory was the Bullets' ninth in their last 11 games. WASHINGTON, 11-7, seized control of the game while holding Detroit scoreless for the first 4:48 of the fourth quarter. With the Pistons unable to score, the Bullets ran off eight unan- swered points to stretch an 83-80 lead to 11 points, 91-80. Cliff Robinson, who finished with 19 points, scored three during that spurt and Detroit never threatened after that. The Bullets had grabbed the lead in the third quarter by scoring 11 consec- utive points to erase a 72-75 Detroit lead and build a 76-72 advantage. Johnson scored five points and Gregg Ballard had four during that run. DETROIT, 8-9, was led by Isiah Thomas, who scored 31 points. Tom McMillen eclipsed his season high of eight points with 10 in the second quarter to help stake the Bullets to a 56- 53 halftime lead. Williams scored 17 points in the first quarter, which ended in a 27-27 tie. John Long, playing his first game for the Pistons after resolving a contract conflict with the team, scored two poin- ts. Jeff Ruland also scored 19 for the Bullets. Nets 123, Pacers 100 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Buck Williams scored 19 of his game- high 23 points and contributed to a pair of second-quarter spurts that helped the New Jersey Nets defeat the Indiana Pacers 123-100 in a National Basketball Association game last night. The Nets, who evened their record to 8-8, secured a 66-53 halftime lead in handing the Pacers their loss in 18 decisions. WILLIAMS contributed a pair of baskets in a 10-1 spree early in the second period that turned a one-point defict into a 44-35 advantage, giving the Nets a lead they never lost. Indiana cut the gap to 57-51 late in the second quarter, but the Nets, who had seven players in double figures, scored nine of the last 11 points, including four by Mike Gminski, to take a 13-point cushion into the locker room. Nets guard Michael Ray Richardson and Pacer reserve forward Bill Garnett were both ejected from the game for fighting with 8:10 remaining in the third period. Richardson had come to the aid of teammate Mike O'Koren who had been knocked to the floor as Garnett was attempting to drive tothesbasket. Rockets 116, Hawks 102 ATLANTA (AP)-Ralph Sampson scored 30 points as the Houston Rockets cruised to a 116-102 victory over the Atlanta Hawks last night.

HOUSTON'S YOUNG titans of the front court, the 7-foot-4 Sampson and 7 foot Akeem Olajuwon, dominated the boards. Olajuwon grabbed 11 rebounds in the first quarter and finished with 13. Sampson snared 14 rebounds. Rookie forward Jim Peterson added 12 rebounds. Houston won the battle of the boards 55-43. Lewis Lloyd added 25 points for Houston. McCray had 14, John Lucas 13 and Robert Reid 12. In reply . a a Is passive smoking more than a minor nuisance or real annoyance? That's a broad and vague statement being made in a nation-wide, multi- million dollar campaign by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. For those who are fortunate not to have a chronic lung or heart disease, who don't suffer from allergies, or who may not have an acute respiratory illness that may be true. However, medical evidence is conclusive: passive smoking is injurious to a large number of individuals - young and old, rich and poor, and from any ethnic group.

AREA ARE :A - © 1979 5 Q-t w,5lO N, A KNOW.k)! Smoking is legal, no question about that. But who has the right in a public place to give some innocent bystander what the to-. bacco industry down plays as a "minor nui- sance" or "real annoyance". According to the tobacco industry, smok- ing is a personal decision made by adults. Unfortunately the sidestream smoke from a cigarette, pipe or cigar becomes public, af- fecting everyone around, and therefore should be subject to certain rules, controls and laws to protect people in public places. If we can have laws to protect us from outdoor air pollution, why not for indoor pollution from toxic tobacco smoke? Icer 's death unnerves MONTREAL (AP)-The death of 18-year-old junior hockey player Stephane Saint Aubin has prompted his coach to quit and his teammates to consider following the same course. Repentigny Olympiques hockey coach Larry Lapointe, who watched in horror Wednesday as a skate blade cut an artery in Saint Aubin's neck in a game against Longueil Sieurs, announced yesterday he's quitting the sport. LAPOINTE has seen two of his players die from hockey-related injuries. Several years ago a player on a midget team Lapointe coached died after The tobacco industry complains about nonsmokers: "Total strangers feel free to abuse us verbally in public without warning." That's usually the re- sult when someone assaults another, and being forced to breathe another's tobacco smoke is considered assault. The majority of Americans are nonsmokers. There's something wrong with the system when those in the minority can have such a drastic effect on the majority ...and that's what so often happens when smokers' sides- tream smoke invades the public air space of nonsmokers.
