But Coach Bobbie DeKemper doesn't expect the other three teams to hand over the title without a stiff battle. If we don't go any further, our year," she said. "The fans expect the second semifinal game, season will have been great," she possibly too much. These girls are "The ratings arc good publicity said. And if we go all the way, it nigh school kids; They don't get for, girls'basketball, but that's it," tin 4 said DeKemper.

"We're No. 1. Big won't be a cake Roosevelt, the 1977 state champion and 104-5 the past six years under DeKemper, is feeling the pressure, the coach said. "The pressure Is worse this paid a million dollars year to play said DeKemper basketball. They make mistakes, and the fans can't accept that." Roosevelt, 21-0.

(AP) Moses Malone, with game highs of 35 points and 23 rebounds for Houston, felt it was time the Rockets handed Washington one of those rare home- court losses. Houston, trailing 83-79 late in the third quarter Thursday night, rallied to a 120-110 National Basketball Association victory over Washington. Cleveland beat Kansas City 111-107 in the only other NBA game.

"Washington is a good team, but we were ready for them tonight," Malonp said. "They came from behind to beat us twice at our place. We should be 3-0 against them." Rockets Coach Tom Nissalke said the hot-shooting 6-11 Malone "took charge in the fourth quarter" to help the Rockets deal the Bullets their sixth defeat in 27 home games this season. "We went with our strong lineup," Nissalke said. The Rockets used 6-8 Ron Reid at 4, Virginia Slate 78 MAC Southern Tourney Semifinals Wldener O4, W.

"I think it's important, if you arc going to recognize that players, coaches and officials arc all Human and make errors, that you go ahead and admit it when a mistake is made," Landry said. said in a letter to a Cowboys fan, printed Thursday by Dal- Jacobs favored in AAU national indoor meet By Kcrl Rpscnthal Associated Press wrilcr NEW YORK (AP) Franklin Jacobs, the little Flexible Flyer from Fairleigh Dickinson, is an overwhelming favorite to win the one major high jump title that has eluded him in tonight's National AAU Indoor Truck and Field Championships at Madison Square Garden. But the big question is: can Jacobs soar high enough to eclipse the record of 7 feet, inches, held by Vladimir Yashehenko of the Soviet Union? Jacobs, unbeaten in eight meets this year, with a high of the best in the world for has been promising a jump of 7-1). The highest he has attempted is missing three times al the Millrose Games two weeks ago in the Garden.

Still, the Jacobs maintains lie can clear 7-9 a leap that would be inches over his head. How? "I'll keep concentrating on my arm lift, early height and less traveling over the bar," said Jacobs, who is recovering from a minor foot bruise suffered last week. "It was on my left leg, which is my takeoff leg," he explained. "I have been taking whirlpools all week. 1 should be ready." The high jump is only one of three events on the 24-evonl program for men and women without a defending champion.

Last year's high jump winner, Dwight Stones, has given up his amateur status. Other events without a defending champion are the men's mile, featuring 11175, I97fi and 1977 winner Filbert Bayl of Tanzania, Dick Buerkle, Steve Scott, Wilson Waigwa, Niall O'Shauglmossy and Steve Lacy, and the men's three- mile, with Marty Liquor), Garry Bjorklund und Nick Rose. The men's defending champions are: Houston McTcur, 60-yard dash; Stan Vinson, Gideon Terer, Charles Foster, hurdles; Todd Scully, two-mile walk; Ed Kanla, weight throw; Lurry Jos- sec, pole vault; Al Feuerbacli, shot put; Charlton Ehixuelen, long jump, and Hun Livers, triple jump.

Dallas lost Super Bowl XIII, 35-31 to Pittsburgh, and many fans complained the bad pass interference call in question sparked the Steelers' win. Landry and others in the Cowboys organization said they had not previously heard Hozellc's view, and said they were glad he put it on the record. "If you're wrong, you're wrong, and I think you should admit it.

The thing I hate to see is a cover-up," Landry said. The controversial call came when Pittsburgh receiver Lynn Swann and Dallas defender Ben Barnes both fell chasing a long pass from Terry Bradshaw. The judgment by field judge Fred Swearingen brought Pittsburgh to the Dallas 23-yard line a 33-yard gain that Landry, the Cowboys and some of the Pittsburgh squad later called "the key play" in the game. The Steelers scored, and on the ensuing kickoff, Dallas fumbled, and Pittsburgh added another quick TD for a 35-17 lead. "We all knew that was a bad call but I'm glad he (Rozelle) did admit it was a bad call.

The bad part is it can't change anything. I just hope future games they go to an instant replay or something on a questionable call like that," Barnes said. Mrs. Winifred Hale of Forney, Texas, had written Rozelle to ex- guard along with Calvin Murphy, and also employed a large front line of 6-11 Malone, 6-10 Dwight Jones and 6-7 Rudy Tomjanovich. "Moses was sensational, but that's nothing new," Nissalke said.

"He took charge in the fourth quarter and that was the difference." The Bullets played without play- maker Tom Henderson, who had the flu, and Mitch Kupchak, who is on the injured reserve list with an inflamed achilles tendon. After Malone extended Houston's lead to 110-92, he took a breather and Washington's Elvin Hayes, who led the Bullets with 25 points, made three quick baskets to pull his team within 12 points. But Malone returned and stuffed in a missed shot to slow the rally. Murphy and Tomjanovich kept the Rockets in contention after the Bullets bolted to a 25-14 lead. Together they combined for 29 points in the first half to help Houston inch in front 58-57 at the half.

Cavaliers 111, Kings 107 Rookies Mike Mitchell, Ken Higgs and Butch Lee combined for 59 points as Cleveland upended the Midwest Division leaders. Mitchell led the Cavs with 23 points, while Higgs had a career- high 21 and Lee 15.

urg deal. How many of those people who voted have I think our strength is being blown out of proportion. You obviously have four teams capable, of winning or they wouldn't be there." A year was knocked off by eventual state champion Warsaw in the semi-state tourney. "Our strong point is quickness on offense and defense," DeKemper said. "We have just two girls back from the state championship team (LaTaunya Pollard and Normela Upshaw).

The rest mainly got together this year. Our success this year should be attributed to these girls." Pollard, who scored 36 points in the championship game against Mount Vernon two years ago, is averaging 22 a game this season. The 5-10 senior forward also leads the team in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounds and assists. Jasper, whose only loss in 22 games was to Evansville North in the second game of the season, is led by Karen Bauer, a 5-11 senior who averages about 15 points a game. Madison Heights, unbeaten in 23 games, has a balanced attack led by 5-9 senior Barbara Graves and 5-10 sophomores Karen Hexamer and Theresa Busch.

North Central, 20-3, is led by 5-7 senior Kim Land and 6-0 junior Elza Purvlicis. "It's just going to take good solid playing for four quarters," summed up North Central coach Jane Maines. "Consistency is going to have to be the key to our game. But our players are confident. They think they can go all the way." The semifinal games are at 11 a.m.

and 12:30 p.m. EST, with the two winners meeting at 8:15 p.m. The game will be televised over much of the state.

By Hal Bock Associated Press writer The idea is, at the very least, revolutionary, especially for the United States, where amateurism has always seemed to be only a step or two removed from godliness and naturally had to be protected at all costs. Costs, however, have been the problem. America has always been fiercely proud of the Simon Pure image of Its amateur athletes.

The perfect logo for nonprofesslonal competitors representing Uncle Sam would have to be turned-out pockets empty, of course. Now, along comes the Amateur Athletic Union with a new plan to provide funds for amateur sports. And tlie source, us frightening as that might be to the gloom and doom crowd who cringe every time commercialism nnd sports are linked, is American industry. "Why not?" wonders Ollun Cussell, executive director of the AAU, and one of the people squarely behind the sponsorship program. "This Is a way of supporting our sports programs through free enterprise.

That's what we built this country on the free enterprise system. It uses our system, our way of life. What could bo more legitimate?" It seems so obvious that you wonder why no one thought of it before. Unfortunately, however, the people who run amateur sports in this country have had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th century. The Amateur Athletic Act, passed by Congress last fall, did part of the job by calling attentio'n to the tangle and providing a formula for giving America a unified approach to Olympic and world class competition.

But none of its $16 million in funding is available until fiscal 1080, which means federal dollars won't flow into amateur sports until Nov. 1979. For years we've bemoaned government subsidy of athletes by the rest of the world and answered that challenge by having the United States teams plead poverty. And while no one has suggested that having athletes underwritten by the government is a very good solution to this problem, clearly, some way out had to be found. Casscll feels the answer lies in America's most potent weapon private industry.

The result is that more and more corporations have been injecting capital into the amateur sports movement. The AAU Track and Field Championships at Madison Square Garden tonight, for example, now are underwritten by Standard Brands. And Mack Trucks is providing funds for what else? the weightlifting program. Other companies in other sports have picked up the challenge and suddenly the amateurs are enjoying a new commodity. It's called cash and it can only mean good things for America and its athletes.

"Understand," said Casscll, "the companies are not underwriting the athletes. They are underwriting the sports." There are 28 sports certified and governed in this country by the AAU, and there are about a dozen major corporations now involved at all levels in the growing sponsorship program.
