Star-Gazette from Elmira, New York • 13

4 League Games on Tap Friday, Jan. 21, 1972 13 STAR-GAZETTE Elmira, N.Y. mm Cage Spotlight Focuses on STC Association with first-half Notre Dame has crobablv The Blue Devils, however, are capable of point explosions and can run and rebound The Twin Tier scholastic basketball spotlight shines on the Sullivan Trail Conference tonight as key games dot the schedule. Southside, 6-0 in league play and the leader in the A division, travels to Elmira Free Academy, 4-2 and tied for second place with Horseheads. The fast-rising Blue Raiders play at cellar-dweller Edison, 0-6, Corning West is at Corning East in a Crystal City clash and in what should turn out as the night's best game, Division leader Notre Dame, 5-1, hosts runner up Waverly.

Elsewhere in the Twin Tiers, the Tioga County League has a night off but second-half play begins in the Susquehanna Valley Interscholastic Athletic likely to pull an upset 'here. The Spartans still miss top-scorer Pete Jurusik, out with a hairline fracture of the foot, and while the rest of the squad tries to make up for its star's absence, the talent i3 just spread too thin. West, 3-3, rates the nod over 1-5 East as the Vikings appear to have too much balance in the lineup. Mike Pieri and Walt James have led the STC defenders the last several games and Earl Tracey and Bob Rossi are on hand to help. East has 6-7 Tom Howitt, an agile rebounder, bur the Trojans need better shooting from the floor than in recent games if they are to pull out this game.

Hornets managed to pull out decisions. Tuesday night, the Hornets fought back from a 30-10 deficit and nipped Corning West, 59-57. In last Friday's encounter, the Southside quintet scored a-ragged 68-56 win over Corning East. Bill Drake is still the big offensive threat but Donnie hampered by a bad shoulder earlier in the season, has begun to come around and his return to form could spell trouble for Hornet foes. EFA has played spotty ball all year, at times looking like the championship clubs Blue Devil rooters have known in the past but also occasionally seeming like five men who never played together before.

They Early Wynn, who joins Sandy Koufax and Yogi Berra as entrants into this year's baseball Hall of Fame, is a product of one of the Eastern League's vintage years. Wynn was a young, rugged, hard-throwing righthander when he toiled for the Springfield Rifles in 1941 and off his 16-12 record for a club which finished dead last, you knew here was a guy who was going to make it.

Well, Wynn did. Despite three years of World War 2 duty (Wynn was organizer, manager and hard-hitting shortstop of the Manila Dodgers in 1945) the big man chalked up 300 major league victories. On that same Springfield staff with Wynn was a chap named Jim Konstanty. And Jim really showed nothing with hit 4-19 record. Twin Tiers fans have fond memories of that 1941 EL season.

For one thing, Elmira finished third then swept through the playoffs even winning one game, 1-0, over Wilkes-Barre after Red Embree had no-hit Elmira for 10 1-3 innings. The first hit did in Embree. Jess Pike powered a home run and that led to what Bill Pope and Howard Pierce often referred to as Elmira's greatest baseball fish story. Clarence Pickerel was the winning pitcher, Pike hit the homer. Sal Maglie, Tom Pullig and Ray Roche formed Elmira's Big Three mound staff.

Ed Robinson, Andy Cohen, Alex Monchak and Frank Madura cavorted around the infield; Sammy Holbrook was the catcher; and Eddie. Kobcsky, Pike, Hubie Shelley and Willie Duke were the outfielders.

Southside has. looked anything but impressive In its last two games but the Green down the ladder made him wonder about him winning a medal," Coach Lloyd Severud said Wednesday when the team stopped briefly in Seattle en route to the two final jumps at Leavenworth. Watt of Duluth, quit the team Tuesday, charging officials with "trying to make everyone little puppets of the U.S. Ski Association." He contended officials were dictating clothing and hair styles, that morale was so low jumpers weren't able to concentrate and that the fun had been taken out of the sport. "Adrian has his right to his own personal said Severud.

"I didn't say 'good' (as Watts charged when he quit). I said 'Okay," or something like that. I didn't question his decision. I thought team morale would change with his leaving." Severud said, "Of course I tell them what to do. That's a coach's job to tell them what to do to be better ski jumpers.

And Jon Balfanz should be running the program. He's hired on a ycar-'round job on this basis." Balfranz is Nordic program director of the U.S. Ski Association, which picks the team. Watts contended Balfanz was running the team. Severud said morale had low because bad weather forced the team to criss cross the country for practice.

"All that work for a few rides" was discouraging, he said. As for the clothes and hair problems, Severud said the U.S. ski program was financed "quite strongly by clothing companies and we'd expect them to have some say." The jumpers had been told, he said, mustaches are out for the Olympics and hair must be kept neat. There have been no restrictions during workouts, he said. Fun is an important part of the program, Severud said.

"If it weren't, the team members wouldn't be here. They're not getting one red cent, and they're losing school, time and pay." But, he added, the team wants to win a medal at Sapporo, "and that means a heck of a lot of hard work."

LOS ANGELES (AP) Pete Maravich, gradually regaining pounds and. strength sapped by mononucleosis, says he some times gets so tired he can hardly move on the basketball court. And there was a time when he had strong doubt that he'd play at all in the 1971-72 season for the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association. Yet the 6-foot-5 Maravich, playing 19 pounds under his pre-illness weight, poured in 50 points Sunday in his team's 124-116 victory over Philadelphia. Maravich, 23, who missed his team's first 14 games because of the debilitating virus, also has enough vigor to play in the NBA's One-on-One competition.

He was here this week for television taping of the competition. He called One-on-One the "most draining type of basketball you can play." He had to win intrasquad competition to represent Atlanta and said it left him "worn out for a week." Never a husky physical specimen, he said his weight now fluctuates between 184 and 186, compared to 203 at the start of preseason training. "I won't be able to gain back much more of the weight this season," he said. "We have a demanding schedule. I just want to get back into physical condition at 185 pounds.

"It's frustrating because of the type of schedule we play. Some nights I can't move at all because I just don't have the stamina." Maravich said the three weeks he spent in a hospital didn't hurt his shooting form but he recalls his first workout a solo shooting session after getting the doctor's permission. "I felt so frail out on the court. I thought to myself, that I probably wouldn't be back in any kind of shape for the whole year. Then I weighed 178-179 pounds.

"I shot for about 30 minutes and was completely worn out. I could hardly get back to my apartment." Atlanta Coach Richie Guerin said he was surprised by Mara vich's scoring spree, especially because it was the Hawks' third game in as many nights. "He was really tired," Guerin said. "I took him out with 30 seconds left. I tried to get him out earlier but it was a close game.

"At different stages of the season he'll need more rest." Maravich said the rest he had on Saturday night enabled him to come back with a "socalled good performance" on Sunday. "The night before I didn't log but about 25 of the 48 minutes, so I really didn't play three in a row." But that still doesn't explain how the former national collegiate scoring champion at Louisiana State scored 50 points. Maravich said the foundation was laid before the game started. "The team got together and we decided to express ourselves. We had gotten pounded into the ground in two previous games.

We thought we should run more. Center Walt Bellamy and the forwards were getting down the court so fast that they were making avenues for me. They (the opponents) had to adjust and switch off. By the time they did I had the ballnup. "I was looking to shoot more than I ever have as a pro," said Pistol Pete, a "gunner" in college who has had to adjust his style to play with the pros the past season and a half.

Maravich, whose previous pro high was 44 points in his rookia season, called his 50 points "just a team contribution." Of scoring such high totals, he said, "I had all that in college. The only tiling left for me is a world championship." He's a Tired Gunner Miscellaneous Belgrade has threatened to cancel its offer to host the Fischer-Spassky chess summit in prqtest against "flagrant violation" of the bidding terms.
