"I don't know if we have anything more to fight," she said. "There's no way I can fight in this (tournament). I don't know what well do." Miles said she failed to prove that she would probably be successful or that she would suffer irreparable harm if she could not fight. Miles also said Miss Lafler could not ensure that her participation would not hurt the tournament and could not prove "the public interest would be served" by her fighting. The judge said he could find no evidence of sex discrimination and said a separate tournament could be set up for women to box.against women.

MARQUETTE, Mich. AP) A federal judge Tuesday refused to order officials of the Lansing Golden Gloves boxing tournament to allow Jill Lafler, a 19-year-old Ionia County woman, to fight. In an eight-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Wendell Miles dissolved a temporary restraining order issued earlier by Ingham County Circuit Judge Raymond Hotchkiss. Hotchkiss' order had suspended the flyweight competition in the tournament until after Lafler's attorneys had a chance to argue her case in court.

Miles said there are differences between male and female anatomies and "it is unrealistic to believe that women could enter the sport of boxing and operate under the same rules with no detrimental effects on the safety of the participants." Miss Lafler, of Lake Odessa, is a student at Lansing Community College, where she trains with the men's boxing club. She had hoped to fight Charles Moye of Albion in the flyweight division, which includes fighters up to 106 pounds. She tried to register for the competition, which began late last month, but was turned down by tournament officials because National Golden Gloves rules do not allow women to box against men in sanctioned bouts. Today is the last day of the tournament and the final day in which boxers in her weight class were scheduled to compete. Miss Lafler, who was training Tuesday in Lansing, said she "zombied out" when AP Loserphoto- Jill Lafler: loses bout with judge.

Technicals Milwaukee Coach Don Nelson, C.Johnson. A 6,156. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) During an early timeout, Milwaukee Bucks coach Don Nelson exhorted his players not to let up against the Indiana Pacers. Despite the Pacers' six-week National Basketball Association slump, he said, "they are not going to lose forever." Nelson was nearly proved right Tuesday when the Pacers rallied from a 24-point deficit midway through the fourth quarter with a burst of 17 straight points. The Bucks still hung on for the victory 108-101, but the Indiana comeback was enough to scare Nelson.

"We lost interest in the fourth quarter," he said after the game. "I didn't like that. It's happened too many times. Teams start to get aggressive down the stretch, and we're going to get burned sooner or later." The slumping Pacers have now lost five of their last six games, eight of their last 10, and 13 of their last 16. Tuesday night's loss dropped Indiana into fourth place in the NBA Central Division, 1314 games behind the first-place Bucks, a game behind second-place Detroit and a half-game behind third-place Atlanta.

"It's frustrating," said Pacer Coach Jack McKin-ney, unable to explain the prolonged slump. "I think we played hard and fairly well. We just got beat by a good team. I told our guys we didn't lose the game ourselves, we just got beat," McKinney said. "Everything Milwaukee did was right.

Every time they needed a rebound or a field goal, they got it. We didn't break down in any one area. I'm not down on the team. I thought we played well and played hard. We didn't quit, and that encourages me," he said.

The Pacers led much of the first half, by as many as eight points, but Milwaukee's Sidney Moncrief tied the game at 48-48 with a pair of free throws late in the second period, and a half-minute later Moncrief put the Bucks on top to stay.

Marquette struck back to take the lead with two quick baskets and held on for a 40-35 victory.

"It never should have been a ball game," a relieved Marquette Coach Hank Raymonds said. "We had a chance to go up by 10 in the first half, and St. Bonaven- ture never could have played that way. But ft was a good experience to come back after being down by three and them having the ball." St. Bonaventure, frustrating Marquette with patient passing, continually found open shooters inside the Warriors' 1-3-1 lone early in the second half.

The Bonnies outscored Marquette 12-' 3 to take a 33-30 lead with 8:30 left. Marquette missed a hurried shot after a time out, and the Bonnies controlled the ball for about three minutes before Johnson made his big play. Playing under the Bonnies' basket in a one-man zone, the 6-foot-6 Johnson got a hand on a pass. "I stuck a hand out and just nicked the pass," Johnston said. "I think I spun it, and it spun off the guy's chest and out of bounds." Dean' Marquardt, who led Marquette with 13 points and 11 rebounds, scored from the lane 12 seconds after Garbade's turnover.

After a missed shot on the Bonnies' next possession, a layup by freshman Terry Reason on a feed from Glenn Rivers gave Marquette the lead for good at 34-33 with 4:28 left. St. Bonaventure, 10-12, blew a chance to regain the lead when Eric Stover missed his first free throw in the bonus situation.

"The Wisconsin coaches thought I should have state loyalty, but I don't think that should be a factor," Hobbins said, indicating he received heavy pressure from the Badger recruiters.

Hobbins, expected to be tried at offensive tackle for the Gophers, said "I can be a decent college player if I work at it. I think I might be a little better on offense, at least I'd like to start there." MANITOWOC (PG) Green Bay Preble retained its share of the Fox River Valley Conference lead here Tuesday night by nudging Manitowoc 47-44. Manitowoc lost a possible chance to win the game in the closing seconds when Shipbuilder Dave Sperl was called for double dribbling with 10 seconds left in the game.

Jon Valesano then iced the game for the Hornets, as he drove for a layup with two seconds remaining. Valesano scored six of. his game-high 16 points in the first quarter to help the Hornets establish a 14-8 lead. A tough Manitowoc defense limited Preble to four points in the second quarter as the Ships cut the deficit to 18-17 at halftime. But Mark Schroeder poured in three baseline jump shots in the third quarter to help the Hornets open a 32-28 margin entering the final frame.

Bossy leads Wales to All-Star win PITTSBURGH (AP) Defensive tackle Joe Greene, the original building block of the Pittsburgh Steeler dynasty and the cornerstone of the Steel Curtain front four, said today he was retiring after 13 seasons.

Greene, 35, announced his decision at a luncheon at the Allegheny Club in Three Rivers Stadium, where he had been a scourge of opposing quarterbacks, running backs and offensive lineman. This past season, however, Greene was relegated to part time status as the Steelers gave more playing Greene played in 10 Pro Bowls and was a unanimous choice for the National Football League's team of the decade for the 1970s. He was Chuck Noll's first draft choice in 1969. His coaches at North Texas State called him "a fort on foot," although a headline in a Pittsburgh newspaper read "Joe Who?" after Greene was chosen as the fourth player overall. The 6-foot-4, 260-pound tackle earned the nickname Mean Joe because his college team, the Eagles, was called the Mean Green.

Coach Glen Sonmor Joe Greene time to Tom Beasley and experimented with a three-man line. Barnes out for year was deflected past goalie Gilles Meloche off the skate of Craig Hartsburg, a Campbell defenseman. Then, at 1:19 of the third period, a perfect pass from the corner to mid-ice by Montreal defenseman Larry Robinson got Bossy in the clear for a breakaway goal. "I think I played a good hockey game besides the two goals I scored," Bossy said.

"I like to be recognized as a complete hockey player, and I did some things out there that I hope prove After being awarded a $16,000 car as the MVP, Bossy accepted congratulations from Robinson and cracked to his teammate, "Two defensemen helped me, you and Craig (Hartsburg)." In addition to scoring on their first shot on goal, the Campbells oulshot the Wales 17-8 in the first period but trailed 2-1. LANDOVER, Md. (AP) It was a National Hockey League All-Star game, so it figured to be cleanly played. But in view of all the furor over recent dirty tricks on ice, it was perhaps fortunate for the NHL that nice guy Mike Bossy was the Most Valuable Player as the Wales Conference defeated the Campbell Conference 4-2 Tuesday night. Bossy, the New York Islander who'd rather score than fight, (cored the winning and insurance goals to give the Wales Conference its sixth triumph in the seven years of the current All-Star format.

It was an excellent example of so many of the best parts of our game, instead of the nonsense." Wayne Gretzky, the highs-coring whiz from Edmonton who had one of the Campbell goals, added something similar.

"You come to game like this to have fun and you keep in the back of your mind, sportsmanship," Gretzky said. "A game like this helps hold all that other stuff back." Only five minor penalties were called, one leading to a power-play goal by Ray Bour que of Boston, pulling the Wales into a 1-1 tie at 12:03 of the first period. That matched a goal by Rick Vaive of Toronto, on the first shot by the Campbells, and Wales went ahead 2-1 at 13:27 on goal by Marc Tardif of Quebec. Gretzky'i breakaway goal forged 2-2 tie after 26 seconds of the second period, and then Bossy took charge. His tiebreaker, at 17:10 of the second period, came on a backhanded shot which Barnes, UWGB's leading rebounder and second leading scorer, was injured when he collided with Cleveland State forward Dave You-dath early in the game.
