SPASH is at Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln next Tuesday. BY DON FRIDAY Journal Sports Editor Dick Bennett has learned in some 20 years as a basketball coach that the game is far more than diagramming the x's and o's. The past few days, at least, he has added a strong sales pitch to his coaching repertoire. The UW-Stevens Point mentor has been trying to sell his players that the approach to the game which has proven so succssful for him over the years must be followed for 40 minutes of each ch contest. Almost overshadowed by the controversial finish of Wednesday's 62-60 defeat at the hands of Whitewater the fact that the Pointers again dug a big hole for themselves by failing to follow Bennett's game plan for most of the first half.

Bennett, meanwhile, is trying his best to put the Whitewater game and all the fireworks which took place in the final seconds and afterwards behind him. "I've been involved in athletics as a player and coach for about 40 years and done a lot of things," Bennett said Friday. 66 I've become aware of my imperfections and also learned how to put things in perspective awfully fast. It's been an emotional, exhausting week but I'm ready to go again. I just hope my players are." Bennett said he has held serious discussions with his squad the past couple of days while preparing for tonight's State University Conference clash at Platteville.

"I have certain beliefs in how the game should be played," he said, fand I'll go to the wall for those beliefs. No one team will change my mind on them. "I really don't know how good we are but from here on out I think you'll see the brand of basketball I want played for the full 40 minutes. At least the players have been informed and I hope they've listened. "I have never changed my approach to each opponent.

But, really, what I think and secondary the kids think and feel. That's my major concern. Success can go to your head fast with young people." The damaging loss to the Warhawks 3 overall, two games behind in the loss (8-0) dropped the Pointers, a who are 12- column with a 5-2 record. "It's important now that we just go out and play," Bennett said. "We have to put blinders on in terms of what happens around the rest of the league." After the near-disaster against Oshkosh here just one week ago, the Pointers shouldn't be guilty of overconfidence against a second foe.

Bennett ranks Platteville, along with Superior, as the most improved club in the WSUC this season. 10th straight win for Almond girls '5' Racking up its tenth consecutive win without a loss, the Almond High School girls basketball team whitewashed Bowler Friday night, 58-21, to highlight Central State Conference basketball action. Tigerton (9-1) whipped Rosholt (3-7), 45-20 to round out local results. No score was reported on Menominee at Tri-County. In non-conference action, Manawa (12-1) defeated Amherst (8-5), 57-33, and Iola-Scandinavia (6-6) beat Port Edwards (50-26).

Almond scored almost all its necessary points in the first quarter. The Eagles employed their usual tactic, a full court man-to-man press, and exploded to an 18-2 first quarter lead. Eagles' coach Terry Mengel called off the press in the second quarter and brought in new faces, as the Panthers held a 9-8 edge in the quarter. The Panthers, however, continued to be boggled by the Eagles' defense, tallying just 16 points through three quarters and trailed 37-16. Julie Lesinski, who tallied a gamehigh 23 points, collected 10 in the first period.

Kathy Mehne added 14 and Pam Berry 12. Almond hit 23 of 56 floor shots (41 percent) and Bowler was an ice-cold seven of 38 (18 percent). Mehne and Berry snared seven rebounds apiece to lead the Eagles to a 30-18 rebounding edge. Almond will host Necedah in a nonconference game Feb. 2.

Iola opened a 22-9 halftime lead and continued to add to the margin over the final two quarters. Mary Pedersen had a big night for the Thunderbirds, scoring 22 points. Ann Bartels with 11 and Jean Bubolz with 10 led Port. IS hit on 21 of 58 shots from the field and eight of 17 from the line while the Blackhawks connected on only 10 of 42 and six of 19 respectively. Port enjoyed a 32-24 rebounding edge, led by Sandy Montag who pulled down 10.

Jolie Charles had six boards for the T- Birds. I-S will host Wisconsin Rapids Assumption next Tuesday. Tigerton turned a close half, 13-9, into a rout in the second half by outscoring Rosholt 32-11 in the second half. Dawn Robbins tossed in 18 points to lead Tigerton. Jackie Check topped the Hornets with six points.

Tigerton hit 18 of 56 field goals and nine of 17 at the line. Rosholt pulled up lame on eight of 39 and four of 13, respectively. Tigerton held a 30-25 rebounding edge. Hornet Rubie Pepowski grabbed eight. Rosholt hosts Amherst next Tuesday.

A quick start propelled Manawa past Amherst. Manawa jumped to a 21-6 first quarter lead and led 34-16 at halftime. Amherst was never able to trim the lead in the second half. Sonja a Sorenson led the Wolves with 18 points, while Sheryl Brighum added 17 and Kay Ferg 12. Julie Garske was the lone Falcon in double figures with 16.

Manawa, which had a 17-9 edge at the line, made 20 of 57 field goals and Amherst 12 of 57. Manawa had a 34-28 rebounding edge. Garske grabbed 12. Amherst is at Wausau Newman on Tuesday. Iola-Scan.

(AP) Both Green Bay Packer Coach Forrest Gregg and a National Football League official say that running back Eddie Lee Ivery will not be punished for his cocaine dependency problem, which resulted in him missing much of the 1983 season. Gregg, who replaced Bart Starr as Packer coach late last month December, said in an interview with The Milwaukee Journal published today that Ivery "starts off equal to everybody" when the club's training camp opens next summer. Charles Jackson, the NFL's assistant director of security, was quoted as having said Thursday there was no reason to punish Ivery. "He has sought help.

As of right now, there will be no punishment of any kind initiated against him," Jackson said. Jackson said that the NFL views each case independently and that in Ivery's situation, unlike those of some other players with similar problems who have been punished by the league, the player was not involved in a criminal investigation or subpoenaed to testify about criminal wrongdoing before his admission of a cocaine problem. Jackson said that, in a case such as Ivery's, the league's priorities include making sure the player gets treatment, making sure the player continues treatment, and convincing the player that he can be rehabilitated. Ivery spent about a month in the Hazelden Foundation drug treatment program near Minneapolis before he made his public admission of cocaine dependency last month. He said he would continue in a treatment program at Green Bay.

Gregg said he felt it was "absolutely wrong" for Ivery to have used the drug. But the Packer coach added: "I admire guys who will stand up and Gregg was coach of the Cincinnati Bengals last season when two of his players, Pete Johnson and Ross Browner, were suspended for a month by the NFL after their use of cocaine became a matter of public record. Johnson and Browner testified at a June trial that they had both purchased cocaine on several occasions.

"Platteville has two quick guards, two very physical players inside and, in Mike Ehler, the best scorer in the conference," Bennett said. "And Dick one of my favorite people. "Dick's teams just keep playing. The never try to pace themselves or slack off. It takes a full 40 minutes to beat them, especially when you have adopted an approach like we have based on maximum effort." The 6-5 Ehler, who is averaging 20 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, is a questionable participant tonight, however.

Pointer Sports MENOMONIE Behind the strength of a front line which accounted for 63 points, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point women's basketball team easily defeated UW-Stout 77- 53 here Friday. In winning their third straight Wisconsin Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game in as many tries as well as improving their season record to 10-5, the Lady Pointers played their most impressive game of the year on the road. While compiling a perfect 6-0 record at home, the Point women had struggled on the road. The Pointers were in control all of the way as they jumped off to a 39-20 halftime lead and then steadily built on that total in the second half.

Karla Miller, a 6-0 sophomore from Kaukauna, led Point in the opening stanza with 12 points while fellow frontliners Sue Murphy and Regina Bayer each added six markers. Miller continued her sterling play in the second half and eventually earned game scoring honors with 24 points. She converted 11 of 17 field goal attempts and both of her free throws. She also tied for game rebounding laurels with 10. Bayer was the only othr Pointer in double figures with 12 points, but each UW-SP player who made the trip scored.

Karen Heinig led Stout with 16 points while Kathy Quilling added 13. Lori Klingler topped UW- rebounders with 10. UW-SP shot 53 percent from the field by making 35 of 66 field goals, but added only seven conversions in 15 attempts from the free throw line.

The Pointers earned a slight 46-44 edge in rebounding while each team was guilty of 18 turnovers.

Point coach Gehling felt her team played a solid all-around game with the strong inside game being the deciding difference. "Our inside game was too strong for them both offensively and defensively," Gehling said. "We were able to operate a controlled fast break which led to some uncontested baskets. Our defense forced some low percentage shots. "The guards were able to work the ball inside to Miller and she did her thing, put the ball in the basket.

"We had a chance to play our freshmen which contributed to our 'team' approach and everyone scored. The freshmen played a strong and intense second half. They continue to improve with each practice and game." The Pointers will be in action again Monday when they play at UW-La Crosse in a major WWIAC showdown.
