2B Great Falls Tribune Monday. January 1 9, 1 987 Scoreboard Record crowd couldn't spark Boise past Idaho Volleyball The Bengals suffer with a 0-4 Big Big Sky By The Associated Press Boise State basketball seemed to be moving full steam ahead until Saturday, when Idaho derailed the Broncos 60-50 at the Pavilion in Boise before a record Big Sky Conference crowd of 12,225. The dead heat shared by four teams in the Big Sky after the first week of league play was broken up as Montana State won twice on the road. The Bobcats are 4-0 in the league and 12-4 overall, while Idaho moved to 34 and 13-1. Montana has a 3-1 conference record and is 13-5 overall, while the Broncos' loss Saturday leaves them at 2-1 and 12-3.

Boise State and Idaho fought a defensive battle through the first half as the Broncos kept the Vandals from scoring for the first eight minutes. Idaho opened up the game in the second half, keeping Boise from scoring for six minutes. With 10 minutes to go, Vandal forward Andrew Jackson, who had a game-high 22 points, and guard Ken Plenty of parity in this league Luckett with 16, took control. "My worst fears were realized," Boise State coach Bobby Dye said. "I thought the kids played real hard, but I didn't think we had a lot left to give." Idaho travels to Montana Thursday and to Montana State on Saturday.

Montana State hosts Boise State on Thursday and the Vandals on Saturday. Montana forgot Idaho State had a home court advantage and whipped the Bengals 71-65 in Pocatello Saturday as guard Scott Zanon hit 23 points. The lead changed hands nine times through the first half and never exceeded five points until the end. Zanon came out of a slump as he hit 6 of 9 three-point attempts. "I don't like the guys hanging on me, but I've been struggling, and it made me concentrate," he said.

"So tonight, I guess it worked out for the better." Frontier later," said Huse. "I'd like to try and come back and try to help the team. But if I did play, I'd probably only be able to play a little bit." In Tech's victory, freshman guard Bart Black came off the bench to score 14 points to spark the Orediggers. Craig Padbury paced Tech with 25 points, while Chris Oliver and Sherman Vernon had 14 each and Scott Rasor 10. Carroll was led by Tony Egland with 28.

But the following night, Egland and Kenny Franklin poured in 27 points each as Carroll ran away from the Huse-less Orediggers 91-82 to improve its overall record to "Our defensive intensity wasn't there tonight," said Tech coach Rick Dessing. "It has to be there for us to win. "I don't think our mental toughness was there tonight, either," said Dessing.

Vainisi, however, still considers himself the team's general manager and has two years left on the contract given to him by George Halas in 1983. "Jerry's lawyer told him to keep on going to the office and doing his job," the source said.

"So that is what he is going to do. The whole thing is a mess." From 1-B up "Tony Tubs" for taking daily whirlpools and cornerback Mark Collins is called "Slick" by Parcells. "Why I don't know," Collins said. However, most think the name is the result of a Collins' punt return this season in which his helmet slipped off his head and he suffered a concussion. Fullback Maurice Carthon is "Billy-Body," according to one player who told the story only on the condition his name not be used.

"It's because when you look at him from behind in his sweats, he looks like Parcells," the player explained. Not every Giants' player has a fancy nickname and many are called by their initials, such as Lawrence Taylor, Perry Williams and Terry Ki-nard. "There's not a lot of nicknames that are solid or consistent," wide receiver Stacy Robinson said. "Some of the time when we jive each other, it's inner and not something we want everyone to know." briefs TV sports 1 p.m., Professional basketball: Topeka at Wyoming In a Continental Basketball Association matchup (ESPN) 5 p.m., College basketball: St. John's at Pittsburgh (ESPN) OS p.m., Professional basketball: Atlanta Howks at Detroit Pistons In on NBA matchup (WTBS) 6:30 p.m., College basketball: Indiana Stote at DePaul (WGN) 7 p.m..

He was sitting at the table eating cereal while his father was having dinner. His father put pepper on his meal and his son put it on his cereal.

Patterson became "Toast" during the Giants' training camp two years ago after being beaten on a number of deep passes. "One day I was sitting down and I saw some balls thrown in the air and I decided not to chase them," Patterson said. "From that day forward, I was known as Nose tackle Jim Burt also picked up his nickname, "Sluggo," in training camp. "Actually, being a free agent, you have to fight your way onto a team," said Burt, who made All-Pro this season. "It seemed every center I went against, there was a battle.

3 5:05.32. Giants. Cleveland that tied the score and set up the overtime victory that got the Broncos into the Super Bowl. But the teams are more than Taylor and Elway. The nucleus of the Giants has arrived since Bill Parcells replaced Ray Perkins as coach for the 1983 season only 11 of the 45 players on the current active roster played under Perkins.

Only defensive end George Martin, linebacker Harry Carson and offensive tackle Brad Benson pre-date the arrival of General Manager George Young in 1979. Parcells and Young have drafted successfully by not deviating from their ideal profile of players they want. This season, for example, they took Pepper Johnson instead of John Offerdahl, who became a Pro Bowl starter as a rookie with Miami, because the 6-foot-2, 228-pound Offerdahl didn't fit their mold of 6-4, 240- Sky record and are 7-10 overall. Weber State got within one point of Montana State Saturday with a layup by Curtis Williams with 1:54 left after trailing throughout the game. But Mike Fellows drove inside for a basket, followed by three free throws by Ray Willis as the Bobcats sank the Wildcats 88-83.

Weber holds a 1-3 conference mark and is 3-13 overall. The Bobcats also picked up a win against Idaho State Thursday, while Weber defeated Montana. Nevada-Reno guards Darryl Owens, Boris King and Bryon Stra-chan each hit a pair of free throws in the final 33 seconds to give the Wolf Pack an 80-77 victory Saturday over visiting Northern Arizona. Northern Arizona, the defending regular-season champ, fell to 0-3 i the league and 6-9 overall. The Wolf Pack is 1-2 in the Big Sky and 7-9 overall.

Tech, which slipped to 7-10 overall with the loss, was paced by Vernon with 19 points, Padbury with 18, Rasor 17 and Oliver 16. Earlier in the week, Carroll got 20 points from freshman center Glenn Bliss in an 83-82 nonconference win over the University of Mary. Northern Montana busted West-em Montana 101-89 on Friday night behind the 30 points of Danny Murphy. Carey Finberg had 24 for the Bulldogs.

But on Saturday, Western turned the tables and edged the Lights 90-88 as Mark Durham poured in 32 points for the winners. Randy Greendahl paced Northern with 26. For the season, Western now is 8-5 and Northern is 9-6. This week's schedule finds Northern Montana at Rocky Mountain College Monday and Tuesday. Northern travels to Carroll College and Montana Tech visits Rocky for a pair of games Friday and Saturday.

Sammy Winder, their top ground gainer, was a fifth-round pick in 1982, and two promising young receivers, tight end Orson Mobley and wide receiver Mark Jackson, were grabbed on the sixth round last spring.

And while there are no players left on the team from the 1979 draft, three starters were obtained that year linebacker Jim Ryan and wide receiver Steve Watson as un-drafted free agents and offensive tackle David Studdard, who had been cut by Baltimore.

By The Associated Press Western Montana has the lead in the Frontier Conference basketball race, and the Bulldogs get to sit back this week and watch the other four teams try to catch up. Western is 4-2 in the Frontier after earning a split on the road last week against Northern Montana in Havre.

Carroll College, which split a pair of games with Montana Tech in Butte, is 3-3 in the Frontier, while Northern and Rocky Mountain both are 2-2 and Tech is in the cellar at 3-5. Rocky Mountain, which is 10-6 for the season, was idle last week. Tech's chances for the rest of the season suffered a major blow Friday night when the Orediggers' leading scorer, 6-foot-4 junior Brad Huse, reinjured his right knee during an 85-74 victory over Carroll. Huse, who was averaging 23 points a game, may be out for the season. "The doctor says I have to have it operated on, but it's up to me whether to have it done now or Johnson's By The Associated Press LANDOVER, Md.

Even Magic Johnson can't take charge all the time. But after hitting 5 of 16 field goal attempts, Johnson scored 11 of his 26 points in the first six minutes of the final period and led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 115-101 NBA victory over the Washington Bullets on Sunday. "That's when I like to be in there," said Johnson, who has been able to sit out 10 fourth quarters this season because of huge Los Angeles leads. "That's when it's winning time, usually, in the fourth quarter." "I thought I'd go to the basket and create something either get fouled or pass off," Johnson said. "I happened to be open, so I took the shots." "I had a rough start," Johnson said after hitting all six of his shots in the fourth period.

"They were blocking shots and jumping in my face. But I got them in the fourth quarter when it counted." Coach Kevin Loughery of Washington rated Johnson "one of the greatest players ever to play this game." A.

Lucas' basket gave Milwaukee a 92-89 lead with 1:50 left, and Jack In 1984, the Giants drafted two of their four starting linebackers Carl Banks on the first round and Gary Reasons on the fourth. They got wide receiver Lionel Manuel on the seventh; signed wide receiver Bobby Johnson and cornerback Elvis Patterson as free agents, and traded for strong safety Kenny Hill and Tony Galbreath, their third-down pass receiving running back. The Broncos have been less reluctant to trade No.

1 picks. A year after they got Elway, they traded their No. 1 and No. 3 in 1986 and a No. 5 in 1987 for linebacker Rickey Hunley, a first-round pick who had failed to sign with Cincinnati.

Last year, they gave the Giants of all teams two No. 2s and a sixth for cornerback Mark Haynes, who hasn't been able to break into the starting lineup. The Broncos also have made the most of lower picks.
