PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - Isiah
Thomas scored 31 points, 10 of them in
the decisive third quarter, and Kelly
Tripucka added 30 points last night as
the Detroit Pistons won their ninth
straight NBA home game, a 117-96
decision over the Utah Jazz.
Detroit has won seven of eight
overall and 14 of its last 18 games, and
the nine consecutive victories at the
Silverdome tied a team record.
THE PISTONS took command in
the third quarter. After the Jazz
pulled to within 59-58 on Rickey
Green's jump shot with 9:36
remaining, Detroit responded with an
8-0 run, including two baskets on hook
shots by Kent Benson.
Utah got no closer than six points
the rest of the way.
The Pistons continued to push their
advantage in the final period, out-
scoring the Jazz 10-3 to lead 95-80 just
3:08 into the quarter. Tripucka had 12
points in the final period.
ANOTHER eight-point string late in
the quarter gave Detroit its biggest
lead of the night, 113-89.
-17-96
Detroit held a 32-24 lead with 1:36 to
play in the first quarter but John
Stockton scored all the Jazz points in a
7-4 surge that cut the Pistons' lead to
36-31 at the end of the quarter.
Utah outscored Detroit 10-2 at the
start of the second quarter to lead 41-
38, but a string of eight straight points
by the Pistons gave them a 46-41 edge.
Karl Nalone's three-point play put the
Jazz ahead with 2:08 left in the first
half but Thomas scored Detroit's last
four points to give the Pistons a 56-51
halftime advantage.
Adrian Dantley led Utah with 21
points and Stockton added 12.

Meadowlands record 42 points, in-
cluding two free throws in the final
minute, to lift the Dallas Mavericks to

Pearl shines for 23;
Syracuse stops Pt
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Dwayne
"Pearl" Washington scored 23 points,
including six key points down the
stretch, as ninth-ranked Syracuse
held off Pittsburgh, 69-62, last night to
remain atop the Big East Conference.
Syracuse held a 60-55 lead with 5:35
remaining in the game. Washington
then sealed the victory with a driving
layup and two free throws in the final
1:34 after Pitt rallied to within one
point.
Washington, averaging 28 points
over his last five games, scored 16 in
the second half as Syracuse improved
its record to 21-3 overall and 12-1 in the
Big East.
HOWARD Triche hit a 10-footer to
give the Orange the lead for good at
56-55 and Washington followed with a
layup on a give-and-go pass from
Triche. Wendell Alexis, who scored 15
points, hit a driving layup to push the
lead to five. Neither team had led by
more than four points until then.
Pittsburgh, 14-9 over-all and 5-7 in
the conference, again pulled within
one point at 62-61 on Demetreus
Gore s running shot from the lane.
But Washington dribbled into the lane
for an eight-footer with 1:34 to play
and followed with two foul shots at the
52-second mark to make it 66-61.
Triche and Rafael Addison had 12
points each for Syracuse, which won
for the eighth time in its last nine
games.
Pittsburgh got 22 points from Gore
and 18 from guard Curtis Aiken but
the Panthers' scoring star, Charles
Smith, managed only nine points.
Smith, averaging 16.9, committed his
fourth foul with 12:24 to play and
never scored after that although he
returned with more than eight
minutes to play.
The victory was Syracuse's seventh
in eight games against Pitt since the
Panthers joined the Big East four
years ago.
Herschel Walker
may jump to Cowboys
DALLAS (AP) - Herschel Walker
could join the Dallas Cowboys of the
National Football League this season
if the United States Football League
decides to delay its fall season, his
agent says.
"Herschel will be playing this fall,
either for the (New Jersey) Generals
or the Cowboys. I can't get into
specifics about his contract, but he is
not going to wait for the USFL if they
don't play this year," agent Peter
Johnson told The Dallas Morning
News on Sunday.
USFL owners are meeting Wed-
nesday in New York, and one owner,
Baltimore's Myles Tannenbaum, has
suggested the league suspend play un-
til the resolution of the USFL's $1.32
billion lawsuit against the NFL, which
would preclude the USFL's being
ready for a fall 1986 season.
Walker has a four-year, $6 million
personal services contract with
Generals owner Donald Trump, but
Johnson said Walker will declare
himself free of his USFL obligations if
the USFL announces it won't play un-
til the spring or fall of 1987.

'U' recommends interim IST director
By JILL OSEROWSKY
William Kelly, a University geology
professor, will be recommended this
week to the University Board of
Regents as interim director of the
University's Institute of Science and
Technology.
If approved by the regents at their
:meeting on Thursday, Kelly will
assume the post Mar. 1. Vice
President for Research Linda Wilson
chose him to succeed IST director
George Gamota, who resigned last
month.
KELLY, a faculty member for 30
'years is an internationally recognized
authority on metallic ore deposits, tin-
tungsten, base metal, and gold-silver
deposits.
The search for a permanent
replacement has been postponed until
a rountine evaluation of IST is com-
pleted sometime in the spring. The
post may not be filled until next fall,
according to Alan Price, assistant
vice president of research.
Kelly resigned from the committee
evaluating IST when Wilson asked
him to step into the position two weeks
ago. "I had to remove myself from
the committee because of the obvious
conflicts," he said.
GAMOTA said he is currently
working with Kelly to ease the tran-
sition between directors.
"He's certainly a very highly
esteemed person and I'm delighted
that he made the appointment,"
Gamota said.
Although the job is temporary,
Kelly said he plans to be active in his
new position. "I have a lot of learning
ahead, (but) I'm not going over there
just to tend shop," he said.
Located on North Campus, IST
combines different sciences into in-
terdisciplinary programs such as
bio-physics.
Kelly said his position at IST will be
mainly administrative. "I think an
important component is the liason
function between the units of IST and
the executive offices of the University
and the various schools," he said.
Kelly said he will retain his
positions on the LSA executive com-
mittee and in the geology department.
"The most important thing for me is
that the students I'm working with
will realize I'm still with them," Kelly
said.

Burglaies mvestigated found
IT'S ALL OVER
CAMPUS!
Police investigating two burglaries
that occurred last week have
discovered that in both crimes the
perpetrator gained access to the
homes through unlocked doors.
Police Sargeant Jan Soumala said
that last Thursday between 6:30 p.m.,
a house on the 800 block of Brown St.
was broken into and a loot of jewelry,
cash, and a camera, valued at less
than $3,000 was taken.
Soumala also reported that last
Friday between 10:30 p.m. and 11;30
p.n., a house on the 1600 block of
Cambridge was burglarized. The
burglar took two watches and a
cassette player, valued at less than
$1,200.
Soumala said that both crimes are
still under investigation, adding that
police do not think the two crimes are
related.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) -
A deep-diving research submarine
creeped through swift, murky water
yesterday with crew members
cataloguing rocket debris on the
ocean floor NASA believes is the
wreckage of Challenger's right-side
booster.
Navy divers looked for other
wreckage in shallower water closer to
shore, and a nuclear-powered Navy
submarine called the NR-1 was
scheduled to arrive off the Florida
coast today to join a growing fleet of
salvage and recovery ships searching
for shuttle debris.
The four-man Johnson Sea Link 2, a
small research submersible equipped
with television cameras and sonar,
was able to photograph the suspected
remains of the shuttle's right-hand
booster rocket Sunday.
MSA drops
all charges

ter to the steering committee, his
comments last night were less severe.
NORRIS maintained his position
that the original charges surfaced
because he is black. "I felt that I was
treated wrongly, and that racism had
a lot to do with it," he said. "Black
people are just controversial in a
white society, and I wasn't going to
resign until MSA admitted that they
didn't have enough evidence against
me."
On Sunday, Norris encouraged "all
of my black brothers and friends at U
of M to secure our MSA funds so that
we can put it to better use for our-
selves" in a 14-page letter to the
steering committee, his comments
last night were less severe.
Norris urged minority students to
"take an investment in MSA, and take
all due measures to be sure that
minority issues are adequately and
appropriately addressed in MSA."
"I believe that MSA and I are in ac-
cordance in ideals, but different in
approaches," he added.
Norris' s resignation was effective
immediately, but no one has been
named to take over the position.
Because of complaints from other
minority leaders that Norris has
pushed only for black minority in-
terests, there is speculation that his
successor may not be black, Norris
