"Bump" Elliott said.

"I am very pleased to report today that Wayne Duke of the Big Ten and Steve Morton of the NCAA have conferred on this matter," Elliott said. "They have confirmed to me that they see no violation of Big Ten or NCAA rules or regulations by Kevin Harmon, and see no problem that would jeapor-dize his eligibility for athletics at the University of Iowa." The university launched an investigation last week after a report by federal arbitrator John C.

Senior Mary Ellen Arrascada won the 100 and 200 backstroke in UNR's first meet of the season. Kristin Herzchel won both diving events.

The Wolf Pack will play host to Utah, California-Davis, Northern Arizona and Pacific Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. at Lombardi Recreation Center. A 13-2 spurt at the start of the second half gave the Celtics, 3-0, a 67-42 lead with 7:30 left in the third period. The Knicks, 0-3, who shot 39 percent from the field in the first half and then missed seven of their first eight shots in the third quarter, appeared incapable of mounting a rally.

Larry Bird, who scored 75 points in Boston's first two victories, added 16 points. he can shoot. That's not a problem. "What we need is someone who can defend be involved in the offense, not just as a scorer but as someone who can get the ball inside. He's proven now he can come in and defend in press situations." That's a plus for UNR, which will press early and often under Stevens.

"Our guards have to be fresh all the time," Stevens said. "The minutes they play will all be significant."

"We started playing like it was garbage time, only the Knicks didn't know it," Celtics Coach K.C. Jones said. "They started hitting some shots and we got sloppy, so they got back in it. We never really got it back together." Danny Ainge scored 21 points and Robert Parish had 20 points He'll make our inside game better.

"He gives you stability. He's always going to take the good shot. From what he's shown so far, he can handle pressure. Talk about a guy who wants the ball in the last minute, you're talking about Boris." King could also see some action at small forward if Stevens elects to go a three-guard lineup. "I think he's looking for me to be more of a forward-guard than a guard-guard," King said.

"If he had to put somebody at the third guard spot, it would be me, I guess, to rebound." When Stevens goes to a three-guard lineup, he can insert either Jackson or Strachan. Jackson, who can play either guard spot, supplies quickness. Strachan, who will play mainly at the shooting guard, gives UNR another scoring threat. "Leonard is a combination of Boris and Darryl," Stevens said. "Leonard's a really outstanding defensive player foot-wise.

Bon 806. Sprintf'rtd, Oflon 97477 NEW YORK (AP) The Boston Celtic starters were ready to spend a leisurely fourth quarter on the bench after leading the New York Knicks by 25 points in the third period Monday night. But they soon returned as win-less New York shot 59 percent from the field in the fourth period and mounted a rally that got as close as seven points before the Wolf Pack From page 1B Right now he runs the break as well as any point guard I've ever coached." That includes Keith Morrison, an all-Pacific 10 Conference guard for Stevens at Washington State. "On the West Coast, I've been around (UCLA's) Pooh Rchard-son, Keith Morrison Darryl has all the qualities to be a top-notch point guard," Stevens said. "All he has to show is consistency.

He's as intelligent a player as I've ever coached. "If he can continue playing as he's playing right now, I think he can emerge as top-flight, the ultimate point guard." King has already emerged as the prototypical shooting guard. He shot 50 percent from the field last season, has three-point range and is a strong rebounder. "He's an outstanding shooter," Stevens said. "We need him to take 12 to 14, 15 shots a ballgame.

"But when you press, you still have to score, and we didn't until it was too late." doesn't have the background to play as intelligent a defense as Darryl. "He's quicker than Boris. Leonard has more ability to score than Darryl.

He has much quicker ball-handling skills than Darryl. With the ball, he has the ability to create a shot better than anyone on this basketball team." Jackson, a transfer from Central Arizona Community College, did not play last season and might need some time to wear off the rust. Strachan contributed 8.3 points per game and shot 50 percent from three-point range last season as UNR's third guard. This season, Stevens wants him to contribute more defensively. "In the past, all he's worried about is just shooting the jumper," Stevens said.
