Qplewoo gym for the first time this season, Maplewood had to fight for its life just to outscore the visiting Rams 86-83 in District 12-AAA action. THE RAMS held a talented Maplewood crew scoreless for the first four minutes of the game while building a 12-0 advantage and then rallied from a 16-point deficit in the second half in bidding for one of the biggest upsets of the young season. "I thought we out-played Maplewood and should've won the game," said Madison Coach Carlton Collier, who played only one senior during the contest. "And, I could talk all night about breaks that didn't go our way. "But, I'm just proud of the way our guys came back from a 16-point deficit against a great ball club.

We could've buckled under, but didn't. If we played like that every night, we'd definitely be a contender, he said. MADISON, WHICH lost its second straight game after opening the season with a six-game winning streak, got 53 points from its junior standouts Alvm Ingle (27) and Jim Ed Garrett (26) while Wendell Duke, the lone senior on the team, threw in 19. "Those three guys have been playing like that at different times this year, but this is the first time we've really had them all three together," said Collier. "We had the opportunities to win it, but didn't cash in.

I hope we didn't wear ourselves out to the point we won't be ready for Whites Creek (tonight)." All-NIL guard William Reed fired in 32 points to lead the Maplewood scoring. Lenny Manning added 18 while sophomores Thomas Earl Mullins and Keith Ridley hit for 14 and 10, respectively. Veteran Reggie Suddeth was held scoreless and left the game in the fourth period with an ankle sprain. He's doubtful for tonight's game at McGavock. "COACH Collier did a super job.

He had his kids ready to play and they almost got us. We just didn't play any defense and we're going to have to realize that that's half the game," said Maplewood Coach Gerald Johnson. "Madison is definitely a contender. They have a couple of outstanding players. I don't think the game was very good for either team with McGavock and Whites Creek resting in the stands waiting for us.

That just means we'll have to play a lot harder tomorrow (tonight)," he said. Kolodziej Signs With Governors Overton's Ali-Nashville Inters-cholastic League tackle Jimmy Kolodziej has become Austin Peay's 10th football signee. New head coach Watson Brown signed the 6-3, 225-pounder to an Ohio Valley Conference grant-in-aid last night, the Governors' fourth recruit from 9-2 Overton. "I believe Austin Peay will be a power in the OVC," said Kolodziej. Coach Brown is a winner and I'd just like to be on his team." Kolodziej said he narrowed his choices to Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee, and UT-Martin before choosing the Governors.

Austin Peay assistant coach Greg Mantooth has recruited the Nashville area for Austin Peay and signed Franklin's 218-pound Tommy Waller earlier this week. Other Governor signees from the NIL include Mike Morrison, Broderick Bayless, and Johnny Bell, and Tennessee Prep's Willie Scales. "We're just about finished recruiting in the Nashville area," said Austin Peay's Brown. "I feel like we've landed some outstanding talent. We've signed 10 players and hope to sign 10 more before we're finished." Basketball AT CORNERSV1LLE (40) Knott 4, King 18, Lane 4, Cherry 10, Cashion 3.

The $146,400 contract was sent with the stipulation it must be upheld in arbitration. Bill Lucas, Atlanta's director of player personnel, said he expects the issue to go to arbitration. wouldn't surprise me," he said yesterday. "The next move is up them." "The question of what is his 'salary' is the key to this particular problem," said Tench Coxe, attor- ney for the Braves. "That question has never been arbitrated be- fore." IN A LETTER to Horner, along with the contract, Coxe said, the Braves told the 21-year-old that.

"your agent (Woy) has written us I that a tender of $146,400 is the minimum we can offer you for 1979. We feel this is incorrect. However, we wish to negate any possible contention that you are a free agent because we have not tendered you -the contract salary required under baseball law. The Braves feel the $146,400 offer'; negates Woy's grounds for a griev- ance, meaning Horner cannot be declared a free agent by an arbi- trator. Normally, a player has no chance at free agency until he has played in the major leagues for six years.

Key with 15 and 13 points, respectively, led Overton's well-balanced attack.

Vanderbilt concludes its non-conference schedule tomorrow night, looking for its seventh win in eight games in a 7:30 collision with Rice (3-5). 1 While Memorial Gymnasium (15,626) is sold out on a season ticket basis, there will be seats for sale for this game because the students have left the campus on holiday break.

These tickets are available at McGugin Center or, if still available, at the gate tomorrow night. Miris Atlanta Files Grievance Braves, Horner In Pay) Dispute Next Opponent Said Nation's Youngest ATLANTA (AP) The Atlanta Braves have sent National League rookie-of-the-year Bob Horner a 1979 contract for $146,400 and filed a grievance with the Baseball Players Association in an effort to thwart his agent's bid for a three-year, $l-million package, a club spokesman said yesterday. Bucky Woy, a Dallas-based agent, claimed that Horner's 1978 salary was $183,500 including bonuses, not the $21,000 the Braves claim, and is demanding a raise using that figure as a base. He added he would seek to have Horner made a free agent if his salary demand were not met. Under baseball rules, a player cannot be cut more than 20 percent for his next year's salary.

Woy said Horner's 1978 salary not only included his $21,000 base but also a signing bonus of $150,000 and other bonuses totalling $183,500. HE SAID the Braves must offer Horner at least 80 percent, or the $146,400 figure, or ne would seek free agency for the 21-year-old third baseman who was Atlanta's No. 1 draft pick last June. The Arizona State star batted .263 with 23 home runs in 89 games for the Braves last year. The Braves originally offered Horner $100,000 for next season.

It is because of the youth, and the fact that school has dismissed for the holidays at Rice, that the Owls began working out at Memorial Gymnasium since yesterday. Usually, the visiting team doesn't arrive until the day before the game. "THIS GROUP NEEDS time to look around and see all the things it hasn't seen before," Whitmore said, laughing. "They are going to the Grand Ole Opry tomorrow night." Whitmore, a veteran sports information director, worked for many years under Jess Neely, then the Rice football coach and athletic director. Neely now is athletic director emeritus at Vanderbilt.

Whittemore also was closely associated with both former Vanderbilt basketball coach Bob Polk and former Commodore basketball as By JIMMY DAVY Vanderbilt tomorrow night will be facing the youngest college bas-ketball team in the United States. "I'm going to make that statement without research. But our roster speaks for itself," Rice sports publicist Bill Whitmore said last night, on a visit to The Tennes-sean sports department. For the record, the nine players who log most, if not all, the playing time consist of seven freshmen, one sophomore and a single senior, 6-3 guard Elbert Darden. Three of the freshmen are starters 6-6 forward Brian Burns, 6-5 guard Bobby Tudor and 6-10 center Brett Burkholder.

"We are claiming the record for youngest team this year until we hear from someone else," Whitmore said..
